Natalie Pov.

"What do you mean punishment?" I asked. He smiled.

"I mean a punishment. Something I will enjoy and you will hate." He said right in my ear. I was flung on to the bed, scared as he walked slowly over to me. White was frowning, looking at his counterpart.

"Now Black, don't do anything you'll regret. Don't scare her off." Black glared at White, and then looked back at me. This is IT!

"I will get away with any means necessary" they stared at me surprised at my words. Black grinned.

"Is that a challenge"

"Only if you make it."

"Challenge accepted." He lunged at the bed, and missed me by mere inches as I rolled off the bed. I jumped up, and ran for the door. White stood in the doorway, and stared at me with a cocky smile. I ran straight for him, and as he reached out his arms to grab me, I had slid feet first between his legs, and had hit the wall on the other side of the hallway. He turned around and grabbed something off of his hip as I bolted for the end of the hallway, and to the outside. I was a few feet away, when I fell to the floor as something wrapped around my legs. I turned slightly to face Joker, his Jester side pulling the whip that had cut deep into my skin back towards him.

"Seems I have won." said Joker with a smirk on his faces.

"Think again!" I turned into a swallow, and with no legs tied up, I flew to the tower of clover. On my way there, I saw Boris heading in the opposite direction. Did he come looking for me? Why would he do that? Doesn't he hate me, and feel repulsed at my real body?

I flew through Nightmare's window, and saw him lying on the bed. I changed in midair to how I really looked, and landed on top of Nightmare. He groaned in pain, but when he noticed I was the one to fall on him, he immediately took on a look of concern.

"Natalie what happened?" I cried in pain as I felt him touch my legs, which were heavily bleeding, and sit up. "Grey!" I closed my eyes in pain as I remembered everything that had happened to me. When I had finished, I was bawling, and Nightmare was holding me in his lap, letting my legs hand off the bed.

"Nightmare, what is wro- I'll get the bandages." I looked at the door to see Grey rush to the other side of the room, and grab the first aid kit off of the top shelf. He quickly examined my legs, and started putting some cream on them, as I gave a muffled cry. Nightmare had covered my mouth with his arm when he saw the stuff that Grey would be putting on me. Grey started to put bandages on my legs, and I started to calm down. When he was done, I was sniffling, and Nightmare stood up, holding me in his arms.

"Nightmare, Who is this?" Grey sounded angry for some reason, and I just looked at him with a confused look. "She is an outsider that I brought here. Her name is Natalie, and she will be living here." Grey took me away so fast that I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Why did you take her? After Alice, the least you could do is leave the other world alone. Look at her! She is in no condition to be here right now. Why Nightmare, why?" Grey pleadingly asked an annoyed looking Nightmare. I don't know who this Alice person is, but I do know that was uncalled for. I let go of Grey's neck, and slapped him across the face. Both role holders looked surprised. Grey was so surprised in fact, that he dropped me. I landed on my butt, but it still hurt. I gave a small squeak of pain as Nightmare automatically bent down to pick me up

"Natalie, you need to sleep. After what Joker did to you, you should rest, or stay off the leg." I looked into his eye, and nodded. He walked over to the bed, and put me down under the covers. I looked at Grey, who looked surprised at the back of Nightmare's head. "Good night Lord Nightmare. Good night Mr. Lizard." I was so tired I instantly fell asleep.

HI! I hope you like this chapter. It is a bit short, but the next chapter will make up for it, I promise. I hope there are still people reading this, and I would like to clarify, he was going to beat her up. My friend read this, and was yelling at me saying, "PINKY! I DIDN"T KNOW YOU WERE LIKE THAT!" It took me a while to get it, but now I understand, and I thought you would like to know too. If you like it, or have any suggestions, then please, review. I am abit lost, and need more to think of. Next chapter up tomorrow, and I think you will like it!
