Alaric was in the jikoni solving crosswords when Jeremy walked to the cupboard and took a glass. He leaned over Alaric’s shoulder. “Cheese” he pointed at the page. Alaric filled in the word. And then closed the book. “I’m done” he said, stretching his arms. “I’m going to bed” he looked at Jeremy. “And wewe better not stay up too late, either. Has anyone told wewe how wrecked wewe look?” Jeremy nodded. “I know. But I have a good feeling that will change soon enough” For a moment Alaric wanted to ask what he meant kwa that, but then decided he was too tired. He alisema goodnight to Jeremy and headed to his bed.
Jeremy searched his pocket and took out the pills Kelsey had aliyopewa him. He took one and drank some water. He put the pills back in his pocket and went upstairs. He walked in in his room and got undressed. With only his boxers he threw himself on the kitanda and closed his eyes, ready to sleep like Sleeping Beauty.
Jeremy opened his eyes. He was outside. It was day, but it was dark as well. Dark clouds floated in the sky. He heard a familiar voice calling him. He wanted to follow the voice, but as he tried to songesha he felt something stopping him. He looked down and saw how twigs of thorns winded around his legs. He tried to keep his balance, but fell down. He grabbed the twigs, gasped and let go. He stared at his hands, which were red and bleeding. He grabbed the twigs again and tried to loosen them, but the zaidi he tried to break them the stronger their grip became. As he struggled to free himself he felt a sudden coldness come over him and Vicky’s spirit floated inayofuata to him. “We told wewe to stay awake” She vanished and Jeremy felt how the twigs got tighter around his thorax. As much as he wanted to fall asleep, now all he wanted was to wake up, but his ghosts kept him stuck in his sub consciousness.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single kitanda and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shati and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he alisema weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg alisema absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas alisema with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
