Dark Veil 2

My head lolls side to side as Aions shakes me.
My mind is in turmoil. Are the spirits trying to take advantage if me now that I am unstable?
 
I do as Raphael says and hold our position. Only me and James seem to be defending the base, so if he doesn't hurry we won't last long.
 
Horrible images go through my mind. Cruel images that can't be true. Something is trying to manipulate me!
But what? I am vaguely aware of someone calling my name, but maybe it's my imagination..
 
I come out of the tent, sighing. "Can't anybody get some sleep?" Then I see everyone fighting. "What's going on? I'm sorry, I sleep like a log..."

I struggle to regain consciousness, but whatever has ahold of me doesn't want to let go.
 
I stare at her body. She must be dead. I decide to do what I should have done long ago. I reach in and kiss her body. Overcome with sadness, I rush off to help the others.
 
(THAT'S THE POINT, HE THINKS THAT SHE'S DEAD!)

"Caylin... I think she was killed by those monsters." I wipe away tears.
 
I suddenly feel a hand grab my ankle and it pull me to the floor. Turning onto my back, I shuffle away, but a ghost comes and pins me down. "Help!"
"Alex!" I run towards her. "Get off her!"
 
"Even if she is dead, why would you leave her there?" I check her pulse, and get nothing. Putting my ear close to her chest, I can hear a very faint heartbeat.
"Good news, she's alive. Bad news, she seems to be unconscious. Even worse news, she may never wake up."
 
"What? Shocked?" I put my hands on my hips. "I'll do all I can to help her, but in the end, the battle is hers to fight. She has an evil spirit stick in here." I tap her head. "One that can only be overcome by facing your fears."
