Jen woke up in strange surroundings. It seemed cold here, and her head was killing her. She vaguely remembered Janella telling her to eat something to break the fever. Fever. Is that why she was so cold? She looked around, but the room was spinning too fast to identify. Her gaze stopped when it reached her hands. Blood. On her hands. Did she hurt someone in this room? Janella? No, she looked uninjured, asleep in a chair. Jen looked back to her hands. They were clean. Hallucinations. She knew hallucinations accompanied fever. She saw more when she looked up. William, her son, stalking toward her with a knife. No! She tried to scream. He was gone. She was growing confused. Afraid. Then she saw them. Two. There was two of them. Her two husbands. Weren't they dead? They didn't frighten her. Tristan, the first, whispered "It'll be alright." Was she dead? "No, you aren't dead," answered Eric, her second. "You're very sick, Jen." he added. Eric had always been the practical one. Her thoughts turned to her children. Tristan looked at her, "The kids are ok. They're with Diana." Jen relaxed at that, falling asleep. Someone shook her awake. "We have very little time..." Tristan commented. Eric looked at her. "Jen, there's something in your head. I don't know what it is, and I can't stop it. Its not what caused the fever." Eric's voice told her he wished he could do more. Bad things. It had made her do bad things. "Yes.." Tristan whispered sadly. "You can fight it. You have to be strong." he knew she could. Fading. They were fading away. They were gone. Sleep. She fell into a deep sleep.
