Katherine nodded her head slightly. She was frustrated and angry. Letting out a breath, she sat back and looked at him. She slid her hands up to presd her hands against the sides of his head.

"I didn't tell you...because you didn't need to know. But....I can't do this alone this time."

Katherine licked her lips, and closed her eyes. She opened the link between them. Images flooded between them. The flowing river of blood, choking and burning her as she tried to claw her way to the surface.

Her screams of pain and frustration as the day started all over. The fear and pain as the hell hounds tore into her, ripping her to pieces.

She pulled away finally, her breathing harsh and her hands shaking. She curled her fingers against her palms as she turned her head away.
