"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.
Derek:
In the control room, Derek was still waiting for someone to come help him
figure out the blasted computer system. He was getting frustrate and not
for the first time was wondering outloud, where the hell everyone was. He
couldn't even seem to locate the newest member of the house. He was on the
verge of dragging Kat in there to see if she could figure out how the
hackers got in. He felt quite certain that she was more adept that at this
than he was. He glanced up at the monitor displaying Julia's room and she
was moving, not only that it looked like she had notions of getting up.
Derek cursed and got up rushing out of the control room and up to the third
florr. The help of his long legs, he reached the room quickly opening the
door and rushing inside. "What are you doing," he asked catching her arm
and easing her back onto the bed. "You're in no condition to be wandering
about."
Derek
