Some time later......
 
 
She wasn't sure how much time had passed but after a time and the image of the woman and fire becoming even stronger, Julia stirred in her sleep, her dark brows drawing together in a tired frown as her dark head turned slowly against the white pillow beneath it.
 
A man... strong, large....
 
..........two women, one of them with a secret-both being grabbed from behind after having ducked out of the man's grasp the first time....
 
............   and then the man catching them and throwing them against the wall, only to try and attack the two and get hit hard with an invisible force and thrown back several feet away from them.......
 
"R-Ree--," Julia moaned low, unconsciously pushing against the covers around her as the vision then shifted and blended with what had happened earlier - and even still what had happened in Ireland.
 
"Don't remember." she heard Michael's voice in an almost command as her thoughts neared Ireland, his dark brown gaze seeming to suddenly stop her from going any closer to her unconscious memories of Ireland.
 
"Why?" she felt her nether world self ask, even as her physical body tossed her head again in the middle of the dream/near nightmare  "What happened then?  It's over and done with..... why don't you want me remembering?"
 
"Such pain..." Michael said, his voice echoing sadly "You need not remember the pain.  Look to now.  Rest, heal.  You're worrying Derek again."
 
That stopped Julia and she swallowed before looking back at where her body lay.
 
In the next instant she was back in her body and whispering "I'm sorry." as her fevered eyes popped open.
 
The blankets had been tossed off and the cool air seemed to hit her hot skin, making her shiver as she looked around and started to try and sit up.
