Derek:
Derek was worried about Julia. He didn't have enough first hand experience
with this sort of thing. Most spirits that returned were not people he
wanted to help. So, he spent his time learning how to destroy them, rather
than preserve them. He could feel Julia's body shivering against him and he
held her more closely. Once in her room he put her down on the bed and
covered her with the sheet and comforter. Then he began searching for a
heavy blanket, which he finally found in a closet. He tucked this around
her as well. The best he could thnk of was to treat this like one would
treat shock. Keep her warm. He brushed some stray hairs out of her face
and watched her with a worried expression. "Everything will be fine, we'll
work it out," he told her. He sat by her side for a while to make sure she
was truely going to be all right.
