A/N- Okay, so this story is very intense and it has violence, language, and lots of blood. So, if you can't handle that, then don't read this story... plus, it also has tons of Jackle being... weird... so, just no flames, and I DO NOT think that any of the characters in any of the two NiGHTS games are gay... so just keep that in mind that I don't mean anything in this story that is bad about the Nightmaren or humans or anyone else. Unless it really is true. I will wait for two reviews each chapter b4 I put another chapter up... so, enjoy! X3 oh and btw, this story has 29 chapters... Enjoy! Oh, and constuctive criticism is welcome! X3

Chapter 1- A Nightmare to Remember

There was deep breathing. A shining silver knife. All in a dark room. Two dark, shadowy figures could be seen closing in on her. What was poor, 16-year old Katherine supposed to do? The knife sliced the darkness as it came down on her. A scream. Fresh, red blood everywhere. Flying around the room.

That was all she could remember as she woke up with a drowning sensation. It took her a moment, but she finally realized... she was underwater! She was really drowning! She could somewhat breathe, but it was difficult. She soon after realized that she wasn't even mildly wet. Odd, cosidering she was underneath the surface of the water. Damnit! If only she hadn't lost what little common sense she had had before... before the... accident.

She decided to swim to the surface where she could breathe, but, someone- or something- was holding her. Pulling her into the depths of the dark, violent ocean. She fought and she splashed and finally... she couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't her fault she ran out of air! She didn't know what to do, but as unconciousness gripped at her mind, her soul, her body, she couldn't fight any longer. She let herself slip away into the dark realm of senselessness as she took a breath of water...

She was first aware of the coldness of the air around her... wait, air? She didn't remember getting on land... she was also completely dry. It was as if she had dreamed the entire fight for survival that had taken place underwater. She next realized that she was not still... someone was carrying her! And... and they were moving... it felt as if the thing carrying her was... running, but, it was much faster.

Her light hazel eyes slowly opened to reveal an amazing and glorious sight before her! She first noticed the clouds that were right next to her. Soon after, she further examined the area below her. It was a vibrant green and there were darker spots of green, which appeared to be trees! There were grassy field and the there were also flowery fields. As she finished her examination, her mind started to work. Holy crap! She was flying!

She was curious to see who her hero was, so she looked up into his eyes and...

She woke up and she was lying on her back. She thought she felt cobblestone underneath her. Suddenly, all her memories came back to her. The car crash, and... how was she still alive? Was she anywhere? Was she in a whole other dimension? No, that wasn't physically possible. She wasn't killed in the accident... only... then how did she get here? Maybe... she was imagining this whole thing... maybe it was all a dream.

She soon after heard wings flapping. The noise came closer, and closer. She decided to just open her eyes and see just where she was. She was somewhat afraid of what she would see, but... she just must see all her surroundings. She gathered up all her courage... and opened her eyes. What she saw before her was amazing!

A/N- Well, sorry this chapter's so short... the next chapter will be longer, tho! Plz r&r!
