"I did?" says Julie, surprised. "I don't know if I can reach her in a dream or not, but it's the only way I can think of. I've got to try." She gets back into bed and tries to go back to sleep.

Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
Julie is still in a highly agitated state, and sleep doesn't come easy. Elizabeth on the next bed is lying still, with only occasional tremors running through her body...
There's a knock on the door, and Dr. Jacobson returns. He is pale and... Scared?
"I was on the phone with the head of emergency services. There have been... Developments, " he glances at Elizabeth's unconscious body, as if anxious that she might overhear something. "Why don't you step outside?
In the corridor, he closes the door of the intensive care unit, and starts speaking after a long and heavy pause.
"By the time the officials arrived, the leader and certain members of the cult have already left... The rest, I'm afraid... Are dead. I cannot tell you the details yet. I shouldn't be telling this either, but I thought you should know. I'm sorry..."

"So the creep just cut loose and ran?" Nat puts his face in his hands. "He'll just start over again and recruit another load of poor innocent smucks." Nat's wholesome ranch upbringing has not prepared him for this and something clicks inside him. As he looks up he seems suddenly much older,
"I'm not gonna stop until I get this son of a gun." He turns away and goes to check on Liz. He comes back, looking sad.

"We got Liz out of there just in time," says Julie with a shiver. "If we'd been any later, she'd have dead like the others."

Dr. Jacobson gives Nat and Julie some time to digest the news.
"But now get some rest. You need it."
He goes into the room and checks Elizabeth's vitals once more. "By morning we will also have the results of the blood tests. And we will consider transferring her to El Centro, to a better equipped hospital," Dr. Jacobson says, then leaves the room.
"A state-wide warrant has already been issued, and the Bureau will surely get involved too... They will catch them, kid. Tomorrow the police will come and talk to you, so you can give more information to aid the investigations..."aine wrote:"So the creep just cut loose and ran?" Nat puts his face in his hands.

"Yes, Liz is safe here. I mean, that cult leader, Cavendish, you say? Well, he doesn't know you are here. But a police patrol will arrive soon and stay at the entrance all night.Mr. Handy wrote:"We got Liz out of there just in time," says Julie with a shiver.

"Man, I don't trust that Cavendish; and what use is a police escort against this kind of thing? Maybe you should try to contact Liz now while it's still quiet. I'll keep watch on you both. If you start acting weird, do I wake you up?" Nat feels better with something to do.
Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
"I'll give it a try," says Julie, tucking herself back into bed. "Last time you woke me up, but that cut me off from Liz. Yes, wake me if you see me acting like she was, or if my eyes go black again. You can lift up my eyelid to check, I guess. Otherwise, I should stay asleep if I can." She shuts her eyes and tries to fall asleep and get back into the dream.

Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
Nat jumps out of his chair, "Julie! Liz! Dr Jacobson! Jules, you did it- you brought her back! I was just about to sleep to try and find you in the dream; I thought you were both lost!
Are you okay? How are you feeling? What happened in there? Dr Jacobson, they're back!" He sticks his out of the door and calls down the corridor then he comes and sits between the two girls. He takes Liz's shoulders,
"Liz, can you hear me, you're back!"

"I managed to get her away from the void and back here, that's what matters," says Julie with a shudder, not wanting to recall the experience. She climbs out of bed and goes over to Elizabeth, hugging her. "We're all right, Liz! We made it back! How are you?"

Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
Julie wants to go over to Elizabeth and comfort her, like the "big sister" she always is.Mr. Handy wrote:"I managed to get her away from the void and back here, that's what matters," says Julie with a shudder, not wanting to recall the experience. She climbs out of bed and goes over to Elizabeth, hugging her. "We're all right, Liz! We made it back! How are you?"
But instead of doing and saying all this, Julie remains sitting upright in her hospital bed. She stares at the opposite wall...
Nat is not a psychologist, but his natural empathy tells him that Julie is NOT doing well. She is catatonic. Her eyes are glassy. Only her lips are moving, as if whispering something.
The doctors and orderlies come rushing in, and start examining the two girls. For a few minutes, Julie and Elizabeth barely respond... Nat peers over their shoulders when they shine their little lights into the girls' eyes --- and the eyes are normal.
Slowly their breathing normalizes.
They are back, but things will never be the same.
