The feeling of confusion creeped up their mind. Where were they? All they knew is that their breathe quicken. Was this a dream? Something fake or real? Was this a memory? It didn't matter cause it all felt to real. Even the damp air felt real.

They looked down at their hands. It was all painted in bruises and blood. Where did they get this? How did they get this? It was all so confusing.

Suddenly their heard their name. They raised their head to the stairs and suddenly started to shiver. Like they lived through this. Like they knew what was going to happen next.

They start to cry? The touch of tears made it more terrifying. Why were they scared?! What is going to happen?! Where are they?!

Thoughts flew into their head. They hold their hands to their face to wipe away the tears but it doesn't work. They start to cry faster and harder. It stops when they looks up to see a man standing in front of them. Now panic and fear started to rise up. The feeling made them shiver and sob. The man raises his hand and the nightmare ends

———————

Bryan sits right up from bed. Sweating from the terrible nightmare. He tries to breathe but he can't. He starts to panic before he stumbles out of bed. What was that?! He thought. Why can't he breathe?

Bryan stumbles over the the balcony trying to gasp for air. He success seconds later. He looked down at the ground just trying to process what just happened. Was that all a nightmare?

Bryan shakes his head before looking at the water for a few minutes. He is calm now or so he thinks. He walks back to bed hesitant to go back to sleep. Bryan closes his eyes hoping to never have the same experience ever again.

———————

As the days went on the worse the nightmare got. Each night was the same thing. Bryan didn't even want to go to sleep just to avoid the nightmares. He got to the point where he look like he was dead. The pack now was starting to worry for him.

Mario was sitting with frank near the water bank. It was a lovely night but the atmosphere felt wrong. Very wrong.

Mario looked up to see Xylo wandering around with Hannah. Mario got up and hold up frank in his arm and walked over to them.

"What are you doing Xylo?" Mario questioned him.

"Something is wrong, I'm trying to figure it out." Xylo responded to him while looking around.

"So you dragged Hannah into this?"

"I won't say drag, more like assist...?"

"Just go to bed you two-" just as Mario was going to finish his sentence. There was a scream for help.

The three of them looked over to the direction of the scream. It came from Bryan's house. The three werewolves ran to his house before banging on the door.

"Bryan!? Bryan open up!" Xylo yelled with worry in his voice.

"Stop it Xylo," Mario said as he grabbing Xylo hand.

Hannah walked to the door before opening it. She looked back at Xylo with the face, 'it was open the whole time.'

They all walked down the stairs cautiously. If there was an attacker they had to be ready. They got to the bottom of the steps to see Bryan on the floor panicking.

"Bryan!" Both beta and alpha yelled. They run up to him to see that he was having trouble breathing. They try to help the best they can.

Once they get Bryan calmed down they make him sit down. The three werewolves look at him with concerning eyes.

"What happened bryan?" Mario ask.

Bryan doesn't look up but starts to silently cry. Hannah warps her arms around him. This cause bryan ti buried his head into her shoulders. The other two look sadly at him.

After Bryan starts to calm down they look at him and start to ask questions. Most of the answer are silence but they get more of an understanding of what happened.

The werewolves make Bryan try to get some rest. They stay for a bit till Bryan falls asleep. Once he is asleep they leave frank to watch over him. And they leave his house.

—————————

"So what are we going to do?" Xylo asks.

"I don't know...." Mario says as he looks at the ground.

"We could could see if my friend could help."

"No, we are not going to that witch." Mario immediately said. "That witch is dangerous."

"But she could help him, and he isn't going to get any better at this rate. The way he explained it-" Xylo started to explain.

"Fine let's go see that witch," Mario interrupted him.

Xylo, Mario and Hannah started to walk to the witches castle.

——————————

At the edge of the forest there lies a door. A red ruby door with silver carvings engraved into it.

This door leads to a place. A place of help for all those who are in need of help. A witch and their assistant is there at their services.

No one really knows about the door nor where it leads to. It's more of a pull.

————————

Hannah suddenly broke off from the group and followed a trail? A trail or a gut feeling telling her to follow. Mario and Xylo has barely noticed as she was walking away from the castle steps. They soon chased after her, telling her to stop. Hannah didn't listen as if it was someone's commanding her to disobey alpha.

She only stopped when she reached the door. Xylo and Mario looked at each other then to the door. It was in the middle of the woods. Both sides being a regular door. Xylo grabbed the door nob and slowly opened it.

The feeling of warmth and happiness flooded Xylo as he opened the door. It was so calming, like all of his troubles wisped away. Xylo couldn't help to smile.

Mario looked at Xylo confused till he walked to the front of the door. It was the same feeling but different in a way. The type of happiness was so strange and fascinating.

The only person that it didn't affect was Hannah. Hannah rolled her eyes and walked through the door. After Hannah did so Mario and Xylo snapped out of their trance and walked forward.

The door made no sense. It lead them to a workshop? Inside the workshop was a small girl wearing heart pj's. She looked like she was sleeping?

Xylo cautiously stepped towards her and pointed a finger to her. As he was about to poke her, she opened her eyes.

Blood red eyes.

The girl simply smiled and tilted her head. Both Mario and Hannah looked confused. While Xylo looked like he was having a panic attack from the scare.

"Hello, welcome to my shop," the little girl said in a high pitch yet, most British accent ever.

"Who are you?" Mario questioned the girl.

"I'm not important."

"What's your name?" Mario said more demanding this time.

The girl only smiled, "just call me pap."

"Ok pap. What is this place and what do you want?" Xylo interrupted this time with his breathe back.

"I want to help."

"Help with what?"

"Well with your fellow treasure hunter."

The three of them took a step back in shock. How did she know?

Pap smirked and snapped her fingers and the door flew open. A werewolf came out holding a tea set. Pap gestured to the other wolves to sit down.

They looked around to see no chairs till she snapped again and chairs were there.

"How did you do that?" Xylo asked as he sat down.

"Magic," she said simply. "Meet my assistant Chad."

Hannah and Xylo waved at chad as he did the same. Pap started to take a sip out of her cup before she looked at Mario.

He tapped impatiently on the wood table. Pap raised her eyebrow and tilted her head.

"What is it?" She asked with a bit of mischievous tone.

"You said you wanted to help, but your just drinking tea." Mario pointed a finger at her.

"It's true that I'm drinking tea, and I want to help. I can't really do anything with out an agreement."

"An agreement?"

"Yes, you see the pain your treasure hunter is facing is something different." She looked at chad for a second before he left the room.

"What do you mean different?"

"Those nightmares aren't really nightmares." She said as chad came in with an old book.

"Wait are you saying that-" Xylo said before he was interrupted by Pap.

"Yes, the nightmares are memories. Something his brain tried to hide for a long time. Recent events seemed to drag them back and they have sept into a dream state of his. The memories only occurred during the time he is asleep." Pap now opened the book and turned to a page of wried drawings and words from a different language.

The werewolves looked at each other. They never knew that Bryan had- or was- it doesn't matter now. They are his family now. They will never do anything like that to him ever.

"So what do we do? What is the agreement?" Mario said.

Pap smiled, she pulled a piece of paper out and then said, "there are two options for your treasure hunter. Chad tell them the options while I prepare."

Chad nodded and Pap left the room. "Option one, we erase their memories of all the pain. Option two, we give a potion that will decrease the amount of memories flooding into his dreams. Though-"

"Option two." Alpha interrupted him.

Chad looked a little taken back but cleared his throat. "Option two takes about two months for the potion to take affect...."

"Two months!?" Xylo yelled. "We don't have two months! At his state he looks like he's going to die!"

"It's your choice."

"What are the side affects of the first option?" Mario said as calm as he can be.

"Vomiting in the first week. Small headaches once in a while. Slim chances of fainting."

"But will he be ok?" Xylo asked concerned.

"He will be once Pap does her thing."

"What is her thing exactly?"

"That's classified information."

"So how long will this take?"

"It depends of how quick pap can prepare the tea and change."

"Tea? Why is she making tea?" Mario asked.

Pap suddenly walks into the room in a new set of clothes and holding a bag. They all looked at her with confusion, but decided not to question her.

"Let's go," she said as she walked to the door that their first entered. She opened the door to see that they are in Bryan's room!? How?!

The werewolves just looked at her with concerning eyes. Could she just immediately stalk them in their sleep?! Is that why she knew of Bryan?

"Chad, Mario hold his legs. Hannah, Xylo I need you to hold his arms. Whatever you do, don't let go." She said with warning.

"What are you going to do and don't let go?!" Xylo said as if was the first time it was extreme.

"Chad before you hold him down. Take care of the tortoise first."

Chad nodded and took care of frank and hold his foot. Everyone did what they were told. Pap closed her eyes and touched Bryan's forehead. She started to chant words.

"Paso a paso, paso al estado de sueño. Déjame ver el pasado oculto. El pasado que causa dolor. Pronto estos recuerdos serán borrados. Porque yo que he cubierto el dolor que ha causado al dañado."

Bryan at this point was moving uncontrollable. He tried to do whatever to get away. The pain was unbearable for him and others to watch. Well except for Chad, cause it's not the first time something like this happened.

Once Pap finished she backed away. Bryan at this point was panting, his body only went limp after a few minutes. He soon fell asleep and everyone stared in horror.

Xylo walked up to Pap with an anger in his eyes. He raised his hand ready to punch her. Chad stepped in the way stopping Xylo. Mario put his hand on Xylo's shoulder. No words were needed for him to speak of. He looked at Pap.

"I know what you are thinking. It's all fine now. He should be better in the nick of time. Though the pain was necessary." Pap explain.

Mario sighed and nodded. Xylo backed off and grabbed frank. Hannah looked over to Bryan then to Mario.

"This tea will smooth the pain." Pap said handing the bag. Mario took the bag cautiously. Next thing the werewolves knew is that Pap snapped her fingers. A smoke surrounded Chad and herself and soon they both disappeared.

—————————

The next few weeks went smoothly. Bryan was regaining his health and forgot everything about the events involving his past.

Bryan was happy. Everyone else was happy. Mario and Xylo would often ask him about how was his day. Be extra cautious whenever he left packheaven. Hannah would just occasionally hug Bryan. All was normal-ish?

Up near the mountains that surrounded packheaven stood Pap and Chad.

"You see chad. This is what I hope to achieve." Pap said as she pointed down below. "Peace of mind."

Chad looked over to Pap and only nodded. He removed his hair out of his face to see the other werewolves. "The method though? Wasn't it too extreme?"

"It was.... but it was the only way."

"Well let's go. You have an appointment with the devil at 4 pm. After that, the golem seeks help."

Pap nodded and stood up. She snapped her fingers and they were gone.

Bryan looked up at the mountain to see a puff of smoke dissipate. He had a strange feeling but decide it was nothing. He looked down at his friends and family with a smile on his face. How lucky he was to have them in his life.
