Summary: Kay has a nightmare while staying over at Natalie’s.
It started small, with just a faint toss of the head back and forth. Normally when in bed with Natalie, Kay slept very well, still and deeply. The nightmares that often plagued them rarely struck with another person in the room, and so far not at all with Natalie; here they felt safe. But it was unavoidable that eventually it would happen.
Heels jerked, kicking out slightly as she fought in her sleep, at first lightly, then harder. Small sounds, undecipherable murmurs and whispered screams, escaped as eyes shifted rapidly behind closed lids. Later, Kay would feel terribly for both waking and striking out in sleep at Natalie; now, he didn’t even realize what was happening.
The more the sheets bound her, the greater the struggles grew. There were some tears on her cheeks.
Behind her lids, there wasn’t safety and comfort but darkness and fear, scattered memories of interlopers in her bed and of people’s many cruelties played out as if they had only happened. Her uncles’ faces, rough and unyielding hands… blood and hatred… and the clogging, never ending terror that this would be the last breath. A pillow case under her hands, pressing down… hard blows to her back and the sound of bones breaking. Screams, hers and others.
They didn’t wake with Natalie’s shoulder shaking and speaking. Didn’t wake, not until they managed to catapult themselves off the bed and onto the floor with the pained sound of flesh hitting not completely muffled by carpeting. Kit lay sprawled, gasping and whimpering, eyes wild and flitting place to place, trying to determine reality.
And then, unceremoniously, she bolted to the loo, stomach trying to turn itself inside out.
