Kay shot straight up in bed her body bathed in a cold sweat as she screams out in terror. The door flies open as her father rushes to her side. He wraps his arms around her and whispers softly "Kayleagha it is just a dream"
Her body shakes and she presses her face against her father's neck as she cries. "Daddy it seems so real, why would someone want to kill me?" Kay whimpers against his neck.
He strokes her back and just holds her. "I don't know sweetie, I just don't know."
Kay goes quiet and he lays her back down on her bed before heading off, quietly shutting the door behind him. He makes it back to his bedroom. He climbs back into the bed he shares with his wife Susan. Susan whispers " her dreams our getting worse, my love."
"I know, I don't know how much longer we can keep the truth from her? Our little girl is coming of age, she will be 21 in three days and you know what will happen then?"
"Yes her world will change and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The need to keep the truth from her is to protect her. But Roger how can we let her face this alone. My family line has take then task of protecting the last of them for generations. Kayleagha is the last. It was such an honour to be chosen as her protectors, but if we can't find someplace to hide her soon, they will come for her and all the work that my family has done will be in vain."
"Maybe my brother will let us have the cabin this weekend, there will be enough room for her to change there and it is far enough away from any pack land that there is a chance that none of the Were's will know."
"But what then my love, we can't teach her how to protect herself once she changes and there is only so much the memories of the others can give her. She needs to find her mate, and we can pray to Luna that he will accept her for who she is."
"Isn't your sister close to Donavan?"
"You can't mean to hand her over to the Master Alpha?"
"No, I was thinking that maybe Rebecca can find a Were who has been out casted to train her."
"Bec did say that Donavan's sister is different. It seems that she can't shift like normal Were's. Maybe just maybe she will keep Kay's secret and train her to be able to fight and if the time comes protect herself."
"Then I think we should get some sleep I will speak to Robert in the morning, we done have much time and there will be a lot we have to do before we leave tomorrow afternoon." They lay down and cuddled each other close as they drift off to sleep.
Kay shifts in her bed as she slips back into the dreams of the past that have haunted her since her 16th birthday.
*******************
Running through the trees around the her uncle Robert's cabin in Montana feels more like home then Kay ever felt in the busy street of LA. Exhausted and sweaty Kay drops down on the porch by her mother's feet. "Wow Mom this place is great."
"I am so glad you like it up here sweetie, me and your Dad have been trying to get your stubborn uncle to let us use it for years."
