Lukas awoke with a gasp, retching until he vomited blood. He wiped his brow, his hand stained with blood-tinged sweat. His pulse raced erratically. He hadn’t thrown up in over a century. As long as he’d been a Night Walker, he’d never been sick.

Until now.

He took a deep breath and rose to his feet. The room spun around him, and his knees felt like rubber as his stomach lurched. Something was very wrong.

Once the room stopped spinning, Lukas took a tentative step forward, and then another, until he finally walked through the catacombs of the pyramid toward Gretchen.

He found her in the main chamber, slouched against the wall, sleeping. He knelt down beside her, wincing at the overwhelming nausea that burned in his gut and dizzied his head. Reaching out to touch her fiery hair, he realized his hands were trembling, too. His brow creased as he fought to control his hands, but the tremors continued.

“Gretchen,” he whispered, almost smiling when her eyes fluttered open. “Are you feeling better?”

She nodded, straightening up against the wall. “I think so…” Her words trailed off as she inspected him from head to toe. “You look…horrible.”

He chuckled and suddenly lost his balance, toppling over beside her. His laughter vanished instantly. “I don’t feel well.”

Gretchen frowned. She laid her soft hand against his cheek as she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his forehead. She drew back with a sad smile.

“I forgot…you don’t get fevers, do you?”

He smiled in spite of the ache swelling in his abdomen. “No. I’ve forgotten what a fever feels like.” His features sobered. “But something is definitely not right. I’m just not sure what’s causing it.”
