Evazee crossed the hospital passage to Kai’s room and found him on the floor. He was propped up on the door, slipping sideways as if he were drugged. Her first thought was to run to the window and see if the trees were purple. Instead she knelt down and prodded him. Was this real or part of her dreams? Perspiration ran down his temples. All the bruises and cuts from his accident still marked his skin. She never saw those in her dreams. “Boy! What are you doing down there? Are you awake?” She leaned closer, peering into his face.

When he didn’t respond, she did what any concerned friend would do under the circumstances. She smacked his cheek.

He blinked and his eyes rolled back in his head.

Evazee tucked her arm around his waist, got to her knees, and tried to hoist him upright.

Kai groaned, mumbling words she couldn’t make out.

“Don’t talk, save your energy. Let’s get you back to bed.” Evazee tried to hook his arm around her shoulders, but it flopped back down. This was not working. “You have to help me, Boy.” She should call a nurse, but that would mean leaving him. She shoved at his shoulder and managed to get him vertical though his head hung, chin to his chest.

“DarKounds. Run…” His eyes were still rolling.

Evazee flinched. “Not here, Boy. Just you, me, and the gap between us and your bed.”

“Zee…is that you?”

“Yes, Boy. Now help me here. Sit up.”

“You can’t be Zee. She glows.” His head lolled back and hit the door. He stayed there, blinking and frowning at Zee.

“Excuse me?”

“She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. You’re a bit dull, you know?”

“And you’re a bit concussed. Honestly, Boy.” Her cheeks turned pink. Trust Kai to flatter and offend her in the same breath.

“Wait, what did you call me?”

“Boy.” It felt weird calling him that to his flesh-and-blood face. “Your name is Kai, though, isn’t it?”

“I think so.” With his back against the door, he managed to stay up. His pupils were shrinking, that was a good sign.

She sat cross-legged in front of him, feeling awkward. “You’re back.”

Kai squeezed his eyes shut tight, and then he stretched them wide as if trying to wake up from a long sleep. “Where is Bree?”

“Bree? Not here.”

“Are you sure she didn’t run past you? She has to be here. Why am I here again?”

She shook her head. “You were hit by a bus. You were unconscious for a few days. You had some weird dreams while you were out. It will take time for it all to settle.”

“Dreams? But you were there.”

“It must have seemed very real. C’mon, help me. Let’s get you back in bed.” She held out a hand.

He ignored it, running fingers through his hair.

TrisTessa! She needed to know Kai was awake. How typical that he would wake up during the first time she went home to clean up. “Stay here, I’ll be back.” Eva was half way down the passage when she turned and ran back.
