I felt great the next morning. My body was no longer in pain, and my wound had pretty much healed the rest of the way overnight. I was even able to pull a few flames into my palms without having to wear myself out.

“Looks like you are feeling better,” Wesley said, walking into the bedroom at noon.

“Yeah. I think I’m good enough to get out of this prison.” I gave him a smile. I hated being cooped up in the bedroom all day with nothing but my computer to keep me company. I felt useless if I wasn’t in the field. I needed to get back into the swing of things before there was no going back.

“You want to see the hospital?” he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I gave him a blank expression. Was he serious? Was I going to be allowed to leave the bedroom prison?

“Of course!” I exclaimed, crawling out of bed, and looking at my feet. I had been in the same clothes for several days, and I didn’t smell too pleasant. It was probably in my best interest to freshen up before walking out into public. “But first, a shower and a fresh outfit. How could you lie next to me? I smell like roadkill!” I stuck out my tongue and shook my hands in disgust.

“Didn’t notice,” he replied, lifting an eyebrow. “Do you need any help?”

“No, I got this.” I chose to ignore his comment and walked uncomfortably across the room to pull clothes from my dresser. I glanced at him and sighed. “Give me an hour.”

“An hour?” He raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

“Yeah. It’s going to take me twenty just to get to the bathroom. Good Lord, I’m stiff,” I laughed, padding out of the room and down the hall.

I turned on the hot water and let the room fill with steam before crawling inside the ceramic tub and letting it pelt against my skin. The water felt amazing. I lathered my hair with my lilac-scented shampoo and rinsed it thoroughly. Scrubbing my body with my luffa, I felt rejuvenated. I stood there a few more minutes before deciding to turn the water off. I grabbed the towel I had so nicely laid on the toilet seat and wrapped it around my body. I pulled my toothbrush out of the drawer and placed the toothpaste on it.

I barely had the brush in my mouth when I looked up. Suddenly, the brush fell into the sink with a clank. Staring back at me was Prudence, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a gaping hole in the side of her head. I closed my eyes and counted to ten. This had to be a hallucination; there was no way what I saw was real. When I opened them, I was staring at myself, but written across the mirror was ‘I’m watching you.’

That did it for me. I screamed.

“Dawn!” Wesley yelled, banging on the bathroom door. I cursed under my breath and wiped my hand across the mirror.
