Previously: Skye told Peggy that she wanted to meet her parent, and Skye, Maria and Sharon learnd that they were Soulmates.

AN: Trigger warning, child abuse, rape, nothing to graphic and I will warn where in the chapter it will begin.

Chapter 22: Nightmares and Cuddles

After a few minutes Peggy spoke up.

"Actually, there is a way to get your marks back," she said.

"What? How?" Skye asked.

"There is a process that can do it; it only works thirty-five percent of the time, and it is painful." Peggy said.

"Does it have to be Skye to undergo it, could it be me or Maria?" Sharon asked, not liking the idea of Skye going through with the procedure, she knew of it, and she was happy it wasn't lethal.

"No, it has to be the one who was exposed to the Suppression, sorry, Peggy said, she did not like it either, but she knew how this was affecting the three wolfs in front of her. She would have done the same in their boat.

"You three should talk, while I go inform Tony and Pepper that you want to meet them," Peggy said before leaving.

"Please say you aren't hiding anything else major," Maria said trying to make a joke.

"I don't think so," Skye joked back.

"Good, I don't know if we could take any more of this," Sharon said.

"Let's sit down and talk," Maria said.

Skye had decided not to sleep in Maria and Sharon's room when they had asked after they had eaten dinner. They had had a long conversation about how they wanted to go forward, they had decided to just see where their relationship went. Skye had agreed not to hide from them, after she told them she had other scars she had hidden just as the scars from the Suppression.

Maria was fast to ask where her mark would have been, so Skye showed her that it was on her right hip, and Maria showed Skye hers, which was on Maria's left shoulder blade.

(READ WITH CAUTION)

There were flashes of old homes, some good some bad, no matter if the home was good or bad, it ended the same, she was sent away, or they took her back themselves.

She saw every bad family who would look at her as less or hit her because she wasn't what they expected. She wasn't good in school, she wasn't good at house work, she just wasn't good enough for any of them.

She saw every school who called her challenged, troubled, or just stupid; every lunch period was mostly spent alone, no one wanted to sit with the new girl, the trouble maker, or the orphan.

When she was thirteen she was placed in one of the worst homes she had been in. The moment she had stepped in to the house she just wanted to run, especially when the man of the house looked at her. It was only him and his wife, who was nice enough, but the man was friendly, too friendly, from the beginning, and of course she had been right not even one week after she first stepped foot in the house; he visited her room, in the middle of the night.

After that night she was terrified to be alone with him, but she did not say anything to anyone, for who would believe her. She was glad when she was finally moved from that home.

Fourteen year Mary had just gotten back from school and was making her way up to her room at St. Agnes when Sister Jenny stopped her and ordered her to go help out in the kitchen. When she had informed the nun that she had homework and that she wasn't on kitchen duty this week, the nun had grabbed her roughly and hissed in her ear that if she didn't she would not get dinner or breakfast for a week. So, Mary hurried up the stairs to dispose of her backpack before hurrying down to the kitchen.

Six year old Mary Sue Poots hated doing the dishes when she had trouble reaching the sink properly, she didn't mind if she could reach, she had asked Mr. Davidson if she could take one of the chairs over to the sink, so she could reach, but he had said no.

The water was hot, and she had trouble reaching the cold tap, she tried jumping, but the plate she was holding slipped from her hand and shattered when it hit the floor. Mary was frozen, she heard stomping coming her way and Mr. Davidson came into the kitchen and saw the mess, "What the hell are you doing, destroying our things, stupid girl, you will pay for this!" he said.

He walked towards her, she tried to run, but he grabbed her and shut off the water before dragging her out of the kitchen, they met his wife on the way.

"What is happening?" She asked.

"This stupid girl broke one of our plates," Mr. Davidson said, Mary was trying not to cry, "and I am teaching her a lesson," he said with an odd look on his face that Mary couldn't understand but his wife did. She nodded and went over to the basement door and unlocked it, before opened it for him to drag her down the stairs, with Mrs. Davidson following.

They strapped her down on a table, she was trying to fight them, she called and cried for help. Mrs. Davidson started to cut her clothes away, Mary cried even harder begging them to forgive her.

Mrs. Davidson put something in her mouth, so all her sounds were muffled, and a buzzing sound started. Mr. Davidson came around with a weird looking machine, he bent down to where her soul words were on her hip, and injected needles in her skin around the words. Mary just knew this wasn't good, and started to fight even more, until Mrs. Davidson slapped her and said, "Lay still or you will make it worse for yourself," in such a calm voice that Mary didn't like.

Mr. Davidson did the same to her shoulder where she had a second soul mark, then he pushed some buttons on a box of some sort, Mary could not see, and then the pain started. It started off as a tightness around the skin where her soul words were, but it then started to burn.

Mary was screaming and crying so hard, but due to the thing in her mouth she did thought it was loud enough so that people outside the house could hear.

She even started begging them, between screams and sobs, that she would buy them a thousand new plates, but when they did not respond she offered a million but that did not help either.

Finally, after what had felt like hours it started to be less painful and then it stopped. She was so tired she barely felt them drag her up the stairs again or when they pretty much threw her on the bed she slept on.

She woke up at the hospital, where they kept asking questions about the Davidson's, but she told them the Davidson's were nice people.

And then she was back at St. Agnes.

(SAFE NOW)

Maria woke up to faint noises of whimpering, "Sharon wake up, can you hear something?" Maria asked, waking up Sharon.

"Hmm what, what is it?" Sharon asked, but before Maria could say anything, there was a scream from Skye's room.

They both were up so fast and running out of the door and through Skye's door, they both froze at the sight, Skye was tangled in the sheets, she was drenched in sweat and her face was full of tears, she was crying and muttering for help.

When they heard the help, they unfroze and ran to her side, "Skye, wake up, you are having a nightmare," Sharon said, shaking Skye a little.

Skye shot up into a sitting position, her breath coming in shallow, her eyes were wild and unfocused, while she looked around the room for something.

"Skye," Maria said in a calm and gentle tone, Skye's eyes were on her in a flash, and recognition settled in. She fell forward into Maria's waiting arms and broke down crying, holding Maria's t-shirt in a death grip.

After a few minutes Skye's sobbing slowed down and she withdrew her head from Maria's shoulder, looking around again, and noticed Sharon behind her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up or ruin your shirt," She said when she noticed the stains she had left on Maria's shirt.

"It's fine, it is only a shirt, and don't worry about waking us. Are you okay?" Maria asked with concern.

"Yeah I'm fine," Skye tried.

"Skye, I thought we made a deal that you wouldn't hide from us?" Sharon asked also with concern.

"I remember," Skye said so quietly that Maria and Sharon almost didn't hear it.

"What do you remember?" Sharon asked.

"What happened that night, at The Davidson's. I was dreaming of other foster homes and St. Agnes first, but then I was in their house, and I remember what happened that night," Skye said.

Before Maria and Sharon could say anything, she told them what she remembered, and when she was done the tears were back.

"Come, how about you take a shower and change into something clean and dry, while we change the bed, or do you want to come and sleep with us?" Sharon asked, really hoping that Skye would come with them.

Sniffing Skye nodded, "I think I would like to come with you," Skye said, untangling herself from the sheets, and stepping into the bathroom.

"Okay," she heard Sharon say before she closed the door.

Twenty minutes later Skye walked out of the bathroom door and found Sharon sitting on the bed waiting.

"Are you not hot in that?" Sharon asked, referring to the long pants and long sleeves.

"I don't really have anything else to sleep in," Skye answered a little embarrassed.

"You can use one of mine or Maria's PJ's if you want," Sharon said, at Skye's nod, Sharon quickly got one and handed it to Skye, so she could change into something a little cooler.

Sharon walked with Skye to her and Maria's bedroom, and hopefully Skye's too when she was more comfortable with the idea.

Neither Maria or Sharon said anything about the now visible scars, there were a few on her arms and legs that they could see. Luckily what they could see of them, they could tell that the injuries hadn't been life threatening.

They settled in with Skye in the middle and Maria handed her a bottle of water. When Skye gave her a questioning look, Maria explained that she had been crying and sweating a lot and needed to rehydrate.

"I don't know if I can sleep,'' Skye said.

"Can't or won't?" Maria asked.

"I'm afraid, I don't want to relive anymore of my past for a while," Skye answered, finding it more and more difficult to lie or hide things from them, and also finding out that she didn't want to lie or hide.

"We are here for you, anything you need. We will wake you up the moment we see or hear any sign of nightmares, okay?" Sharon said.

"Okay," Skye agreed.

And soon all three were asleep.

AN2:

I have had a few questions about the marks, so I will try to explain it.

There are the Born Marks, they are black and are a mark you were always meant to have.

Then there are the Emerged Marks, they are silver and appear when a person makes a life altering decision, like Skye, when she got Bobbi after she decided to look actively for her parents before she found the note in the head nun's office. She hadn't planned on going to find her parents, yes, she was curious, but she wasn't planning on looking for them.

Then there is the question about Suppression, I hope this chapter explained how the process removed a soul mark, and basically when a mark is removed from a person (Skye) with this process, it will register as the person (Skye) dying, on the soulmate/soulmates (Maria and Sharon) this person (Skye) have.

And how to get them back will be addressed later in the story.

If you still have questions don't hesitate to ask.
