Next chapter! Two chapters in one day again! Maybe, I can do three. Anyways, here you go, but this chapter is really short. Emphasis on the really.

Chapter 11: Nightmares and Terrors
Cat's POV
I tossed and turned in my bed. I was having a terrible nightmare, one that was so realistic that I could feel the heat and tension in the room...
I could see Remidima holding our grandfather's trident triumphantly over her head, shouting,
"Bow down to me, creatures of the land and the sea!"
My family and I were all chained up and sitting in a cage made of ice, and the sea was churning violently. Our grandfather was in stronger chains as he sat on an island of ice in the middle of the sea in front of Remidima. He could not break free of the chains, no matter what he did. She aimed the trident at him and grinned, flames in her eyes, burning into our very souls.
"Now is the time for you to pay for what you did to my family, Triton!" she cackled. The trident began to glow, and I knew what was going to happen.
"Grandfather, no!" I screamed, but my voice wouldn't work; I couldn't be heard. A flash zapped him, then we heard him yell with pain.
"Agh!" Then, there was nothing left of him but ashes and his shining crown.
"No!" I screamed, my voice actually echoing throughout the churning sea, breaking the ice in the surrounding areas. The earth and sea began shaking... shaking violently...
"Cat, can you hear us? Stop screaming, and wake up!" My sisters shouted, desperate to see my eyes open. I woke up and sat up straight in my bed. My forehead was sweating, and my hands were nervously trembling. I found myself back in my room, in my bed, with my sisters all around me.
"You okay?" Quellie asked. I nodded, catching my breath. Tears started pricking my eyes.
"Don't worry, Cat," Ara said, "You're okay now."
"No," I said, ready to burst into sobs, "Nobody's okay. Nobody's safe."
Well, I hope you liked this very short chapter. Chapter 12 is coming soon.
