World Outside Time: Jubilee two days later

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

Jubee sighed, shivering slightly and pulling the blankets around her and Anmut tighter, attempting to battle the reverse fever that had Anmut cold, clammy, and sick. Nevertheless Jubee wouldn't have left her side for anything, wanting to try to warm her with her own heat, even though she felt like complete and utter crap as well.

In his chair Sir James stirred a bit, growling to himself and watching over them tirelessly, even though the chair he'd picked had to be awfully uncomfortable.

Jubee sighed, then sneezed, an action that made her grunt with pain before she let herself snuggle against Anmut. No matter how cold or clammy she got, she was still all Jubee had in reach that she trusted and loved.

"Wolvie?" she finally murmured, wondering if the man had fallen asleep on her yet.

"Please," Jubee held onto her and rocked her. "Wolvie, please come back, plase hold her.... God, please, please don't take her.... Wolvie needs her so bad...."

"Care," something seemed to whisper. "Care."

"I do," she whispered to Anmut. "About you, about Wolive... in my world and in this one. I don't want to die, I don't want to hurt you... any of you."

Care, the whisper was all around her now, but she didn't hear it with her ears. Rather it flowed over her heart.

"I do," she whimpered. "I do, I do... please... I swear I do."

Peace touched her, a bottomless well of it that seemed to sooth away her hurts and whisper of hope and future and content to come. In her arms Anmut sighed and curled into a more natural sleeping position, the pain and distress fading from her face and body.

Sleep, came the whisper. Rest. All is well. All is well.

She sighed, then closed her eyes and fell into a fretful sleep.
