Stupid nightmares. She’d hoped once she killed those who hurt and betrayed her, they would stop. When they didn’t, she’d killed some more, and more. But nothing could completely stop the night terrors from consuming her subconscious when she slept.

Bummer.

Most thought her madness – and anger issues – came to her naturally. Not so. Once upon a time, Katie was normal. Wearing pig tails and pinafores, she’d lived a happy dream of a life. Then her dad left, with barely a goodbye to the little girl who worshipped him, and her mom remarried.

Harry, the prick, didn’t take long after the wedding to show his true colors. A drunken brute, he slapped her mother around, and when Katie tried to intervene, hit her too. But bruises healed, and she learned to avoid his alcoholic temper – especially when she spiked his favorite rum with laxatives. All that changed in her early tweens when he stumbled into her bedroom. As if she’d let him touch her. She’d screamed for her mother. Staggering in, wearing a tattered pink night robe, her mother took one look and shrugged. Then walked out.

But Harry, sobering enough from the incident, even with her mother’s silent permission given, didn’t stay. And after that, Katie slept with a knife. Not that he returned. Soon after, he left and another man came into her mother’s life. He didn’t even try to stem his lecherous thoughts. So Katie stabbed him. Hands covered in blood as he lay gasping on the floor, her mother entered and with a cry of horror dropped to her knees crying, “What have you done?”

So much for a mother’s love and need to protect her child.

Betrayed, she killed the woman who birthed her, and not in the mood to wait for the cops, Katie left, becoming another waif on the streets. However, with freedom came vulnerability. Men and boys alike preyed on her. Wanted her to do things for money. She refused and fought off their advances. But their grasping hands and sloppy kisses frightened her, especially when they caught her unawares or in a group. How could she protect herself?

She prayed to God. Prayed until her knees bled. That prick never answered other than to send more misery her way. Pissed, and at the end of her rope, she called to another Lord, the dark one.

Lucifer arrived in a swirl of smoke that had her waving it away just to take a breath. When it cleared, a benign male in a suit stood before her, a quill in one hand, a handwritten scroll in the other.

“Will you help me?” she asked, eyes narrowed in suspicion.

“I will.” Over a dinner he conjured with a snap of his fingers, they hammered out their deal. And Katie never regretted it.

Now if only the nightmares of those times before, the moments when she was a helpless little girl, would stop. Her first shrink said in order to stop them, she needed to recognize not all men were assholes. She threw his ass in the abyss.
