A New Face

Nightmares

Climbing a wall and can't get down. The worst nightmare for a kitten
**********************************************************************
Tamara's POV

I was in a dark cell. My body was aching all over and I couldn't even lift my head. This room was so familiar and yet I couldn't place it. I could hear dull footsteps coming closer to the room. The door slowly opens with a creak and a shadowy figure comes in. I could see the eerie smirk on his face. My body shook with fear. "It is nice to see you again Tamara" his deep voice spoke. "Go away" I whimpered. "How rude" he growls and walks towards me. He crouches near me and grabs my chin. His hand moves to my neck and yanks me into the air. I gasp for air. "Never disobey your master" he growled. "Leave me alone" I screamed and struggled to get out of his grip. He glares and hurdles me towards the wall. The impact crushes my spine. I land with a thud and cough up blood. "Why are you still messing with that thing" a women's voice growls. I look to the side and see...mama. Everything freezes for me. Why? Why is she here? She walked towards the figure and smirked at me. I couldn't say anything. She walked towards me and yanked my hair. I yelp in pain and my eyes started to become watery. "Why do you need this girl anyway" she growled. "She will be very useful in our plan" he said. "Naraku, she is useless" she yelled. Naraku? Uncle...naraku? The figure becomes clear and I can see naraku staring down at me. My family is torturing me? Oh yeah, I remember now. It has been almost 6 months since they took me. I was hoping if I went with him I could be with mama again but... Their betraying me. Am I really that useless? Why can't anyone I love care about me back? Why abandon me? Why? Why? Why? Everything around me starts to fade. I was left in darkness, crying until I couldn't stand it. I wanted to die. To let the darkness consume the place where my heart should be. But then I suddenly felt a warm hug. "Where is it coming from" I ask. It felt so warm. So welcoming. I clung to the warm. The pain started to fade. The room becomes light and I close my eyes. When I open them again, I am being held by Felix. He is whispering soft words into my ear. I couldn't say anything. It had been a long time since I have felt this kind of warmth. So I closed my eyes again and let the tears cascade down my eyes. After a while I fell asleep. "Mama" I whimpered.

I felt his warmth throughout the night until the sun rose. When I woke up Felix was still sleeping. I slipped away and got into the shower. "That dream" I mumbled. My body still felt the warmth. I walked out and went to the kitchen. Sein and his friends were already up. "How you doing" Sein smiled. I simply nodded. I sit down by sein and slowly eat my food. "Last night was so fun" ken smiled. I glanced but didn't say anything. My head was foggy and I was so confused. I heard footsteps and soon saw Felix appear from around the corner. "God morgon" he says in Swedish. "I'm guessing you said good morning so...good morning to you too" piggeh laughs. He rolls his eyes and looks at me. I glare lightly at him and turn back to my breakfast. He walks to his seat and eats.

Felix's POV

Last night was something. Tamara seemed so fragile and broken in her dream. It made me feel like I needed to protect her. "Yeah, a human protecting a demon. I might get my ass kicked if I told her that" I sighed. But what could I do? We all walked to school today. Tamara seemed quieter than...well when she doesn't talk. I don't know. As we were walking to our classes Tamara stopped me. "What is it" I asked. This is the first time she ever started a conversation. She looks at me for a second but then her eyes turn to a glare. "Don't. Ever. Touch. Me. Again." She growls. She then turns away and leaves me standing there shocked. What the fuck?! I help her when she is having a nightmare and she gets mad at me? Some gratitude. "Fine, like I care about you anyway" I growl and walk to class behind her. Protect her? Please. I won't waste my time even bothering her. She is just some student who transferred here. That is all. When we sit down we face away from each other. When lunch comes, Tamara doesn't come to the table. She just sits out in the garden sketching in her book. "I wonder what's wrong" minx asked. I just shrug my shoulder and turn back to ken.

~7 days later~

Things have been different with me and Tamara. She doesn't stay in a room when I am in there. She refuses to talk to me and she is always glaring. Sure I can distract myself with hanging out with my friends but it still bothers me. Today is Friday and sein invited us all for the weekend. I almost refused because I didn't want to make Tamara uncomfortable. But sein insisted. "I'm pumped" piggeh cheered. "You're always pumped" Mr. Chair stated. Piggeh stuck his tongue out. We walked to their house. We were met by the butler as always. He took our things and led us to the living room. "Please wait while I fetch sein" he bowed. "I wonder why they just say sein but they say master for Tamara" I asked. "Because their pets" sein says as he walks into the room. "Pets" I ask. "Our father bought them to serve Tamara" sein says. "You can buy people in your world" piggeh ask. "No...sigh...those are just human forms. They're animals" sein sighs. "Oh" piggeh says. "Where is Tamara" stephano asked. "She has been in her room since school ended" sein mentions. I look towards the stairs that lead to her room. I have been feeling anxious since she stopped talking to me. "Maybe pewdie can get her to come down" Mr. Chair smirked. I glare at him. "Come on, at least try" sein asked. Should I? Even if I did go up there, what would I say? What would I do? Everyone is staring at. I sigh and get up. Fine but if she swings I am swinging back.
