The next morning I woke up to whispers coming from down the hall. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but after laying there for a minute, I realized that I was awake. My feet hit the cold ground and I shuffled my tired body to the door. The training from the day before must have wiped me out even more than I thought it had because the effort of making it to the door was almost too much for me. Just as I pulled open my bedroom door, I looked down the hall and saw the blurred vision of a man standing near the end of it. It took a moment for my eyes to focus. When they finally did, the man glanced back for a moment and our eyes made contact before he hurried out the door. My body froze as the image of the man triggered a memory for me, but I couldn’t place where I’d seen him. The more I tried to concentrate, the more I realized that my body felt strange, different. I began to make my way down the hall, and with each step I took, my body began to ache more and more. When I rounded the corner, Jackie was sitting at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper and drinking some tea.

“Meredith, you’re up early.” She seemed to be startled by my presence. Maybe I looked as bad as I felt. The way my body ached, it was becoming clear to me that I was possibly coming down with something. Great, this was the last thing I needed right now. I’d made so much progress in training. The last thing I wanted was to get sick and prevent myself from making even more progress.

“Who was that man at the door?” I asked, wrapping my arms around my body that was now covered in chills.

She looked around the empty room, shaking her head. “What man? No one was here.”

Had I just imagined the man? No, it couldn’t have been. I saw him. I recognized him from somewhere. “Huh, I—I swear I saw someone.” I shook my head, trying to clear my foggy mind. Even now, I was having trouble distinguishing if what I’d just seen a few seconds ago was real or if it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

“Here, sit down and let me get you some tea. You look exhausted. I guess training has been pretty difficult on you.”

It was strange because with each second that passed the more tired and exhausted I felt. I’d never felt like this after Abby and I trained. Could Collin’s training have wiped me out this much?

“Sure, tea would be nice,” I murmured.

Jackie left the room and I drug my tired body over to the table and sat down. The moment my butt hit the chair, things got even worse. The room began to spin, my head felt heavy, and my legs and arms felt tingly, like they were going numb. Something strange was happening to me.
