“You have been cautioned,” he says. “Do not see the Dragonborn again.”

He pushes me backward and I feel like the sensation of freefalling comes over me. My stomach is in my throat and my head is spinning as I fall, fall, fall...

... and wake up on my couch screaming. I sit up quickly, my heart thundering in my chest and the adrenaline coursing through me. I look around the empty living room, not sure how I'd gotten there. My breath is coming out in short, ragged bursts and I feel like I'm on the verge of hyperventilating.

I close my eyes and concentrate on taking slow, deep, deliberate breaths. That dark, greasy feeling still roils around in my belly and I feel like I'm going to throw up again. But after a few moments of deep breathing, I feel myself start to relax. The grip of nausea loosens and my head begins to clear.

“It was a dream,” I say aloud. “Nothing but a dream. Get a grip on yourself, Kaitlyn.”

I'm just about back in control of myself again when a hard, heavy knock at the door echoes through my apartment. I cry out and feel my pulse jump off the charts again.

“Kaitlyn,” I hear a muffled voice through the door. “Are you okay?”

The doorknob rattles and I fear that the next noise I'm going to hear is whoever is on the other side of that door come crashing through it – which would make my landlord none too pleased.

“C – coming,” I call, my voice hoarse. “I'm coming. Hold on a moment.”

I look down at myself and grimace. Yoga pants and an old, battered t-shirt from my old high school. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and my grimace only deepens. I'm pale – the point of looking sickly. And my hair has fallen out of the ponytail I'd pulled it back into earlier and stuck out in a million different directions.

The knocking on my door renews. “Kaitlyn?” the voice calls again.

I don't have time to make myself presentable, so I go to the door and open it. My eyes widen in surprise – and mortification – when I see Wyn standing in the hallway. He's got a look of concern on his face as he stares back at me.

“Are you okay?” he asks. “I heard you scream.”

I shake my head. “I'm fine,” I say. “An idiot really. I fell asleep on the couch and had a bad dream. That's all.”

He eyes me for a moment, his lips compressed into a tight line. “May I come in?”

I consider my appearance again and think about making him wait in the hall until I can make myself look halfway decent. But hell, he's already seen me at my worst, so I shrug and stand aside, letting him into my place.

Wyn steps through the door and looks around, his eyes darting everywhere, surveying the place. I can tell that it's not out of curiosity to see how I live. The tightness around his eyes and mouth tell me that he's looking for threats.
