Chapter Seven

Millie

He’d been right. It did look like he was having a seizure. I’d had a friend in high school who had them. It resembled an absence seizure the most, though, it lasted for much longer. When he’d left his body or whatever he’d been doing, he suddenly slumped onto me, like a puppet with its strings cut. And he’d remained like that for five minutes, staring into space, his gaze glassy and unfocused.

So, I knew something was wrong when he began to buck, seizing like an actual epileptic. He flopped onto the ground and began to shake hard. It wasn’t a real seizure, he’d explained. So I had no idea what was happening to him. I was frozen to my seat, wondering if I should dart up the stairs. Why hadn’t we just taken them? There’d been no sign on the door that I could see. He’d even pushed the door to reveal an empty stairwell. This spirit quest of his had been a bad idea.

Did I leave him? I was sure there was nothing I could do to stop whatever attack he was having at the moment except to eliminate its source. But how could I do that? I was pretty sure there were things that could attack him in the spirit world that I couldn’t see. Still, I had to try.

I ran, calling back to the nurse that emerged from one of the rooms that my friend needed medical attention, and I was going to get further medical help. And then I pelted down the hallway to the stairwell. I hit the stairs two at a time when I reached it, going up, rather than down. I knew what direction he’d be headed if he’d been trying to scope out room 404 and had run into trouble.

I didn’t stop when I reached the top of the stairs. I burst out of the door noisily, and it drew the attention of the lone man in the hallway. He tilted his head back a little so he could see me, his long red hair flopping into his face. If I’d had more time, I might have spared a thought for how pretty his face looked, despite an assortment of scars on its surface. But I didn’t have time for that, and I barreled down the hallway toward him.

Just beyond there was a heat haze, and I knew with certainty that it had to be Jay standing there, being attacked by…something. The man jerked one hand in my direction, as if waving away an irksome fly.

For an instant I felt like a fly trapped in amber. The air tried to thicken and congeal around me, stalling my progress down the hall. But even as the enchantment over me, it met resistance. Sparks crackled off of me, and my skin glowed the same red-gold it had when I’d visited Hel.

That caught his attention. The heat haze seemed to disappear as he turned his full attention to me, his verdant eyes going wide at the sight of me, bearing down on him like a comet.
