Jase woke up with a profound sense of peace. The dream had been perfect and so vivid his lips tingled. He licked them, wishing he could taste her there. He was disappointed, of course, but at least he got to carry her scent with him into the waking world. It was so strong it was almost as if she was lying beside him…

Oh crap.

Jase jerked his hand back from where it had been dangling off his bed and onto her shoulder.

“Talley,” he whispered, although he wasn’t exactly sure why. Sure, girls weren’t allowed to sleep over in the dorms, but it wasn’t exactly like the housing authority would have been able to hear him.

After Jase relayed his conversation with Sarvarna, word-for-word, and assured Talley that he’d warned Toby, the two of them settled down to watch a few episodes of QI, a British TV show about random facts. Talley thought it was hysterical, and Jase watched it to hear her laugh and so he could feel smart when he was able to throw out odd facts every now and then in conversation. Sometime during the third episode he felt himself nodding off since he couldn't understand a word the Irish panelist was saying, certain Joshua would wake them both up by calling from the front desk to remind him visiting hours were over, just like he always did.

Obviously, he was wrong.

He was contemplating how to wake her up without touching her again - and cursing himself for not taking a moment to memorize the feel of her - when she scrunched herself up into a tight ball on the floor.

“No.”

It was only one word and barely more than a whisper, but he knew. He knew where she was and what she was Seeing, and he knew he had to get her out.

“Talley.” He stepped over her huddled form, and after only a second’s deliberation, grabbed ahold of her shoulder. “Tal, come on. Wake up.” She flinched and a single tear seeped out from her clenched eyes and splattered onto the hoodie she was using as a pillow. “Come on, baby. You gotta get out of there.” She moaned, and the sound was so painfully wrong he jerked her shoulder. “Talley, wake up. Now!”

Talley’s eyes flew open, and for a brief, selfish moment, Jase wished they hadn’t because he didn’t want to have to face all the fear and horror he could see in them.

“Good morning, Talley Anne.” His face hurt from being forced into a smile.

“She’s dead. We didn't do anything. We just stood there, and let Sarvarna kill her.”

Jase wanted to gather her into his arms and never let her go, but instead he moved his hand off her shoulder and leaned back on his heels.

“It hasn’t happened yet, Tal. We’re still at school, and Scout is still God knows where with Liam. No battle, no stabbing, and no dying.” She blinked a couple of times, and he knew she was finally coming out of the vision. “See, you’re in a different kind of hell.
