[Natalia Kimlasca-Lanvaldear]

[pulls him to a bookcase, leans against him with his back to the bookcase and kisses him lightly on the cheek]

[Jade Curtiss]

[brings his arms around her waist]

I see you're feeling much better.

[hugs her, bringing her head to his chest]

I truly did miss you, Natalia.

[Natalia Kimlasca-Lanvaldear]

Well now that I'm with you again, of course I feel much better.

[nibbles his neck]

However, I do feel tired...

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I wonder when I will fully recover?

[Jade Curtiss]

[holds her tight]

You're not disappointing me.

I want to see you well--nothing more.

Take whatever time you need.

[chuckles]

The hair ribbons can wait.

[realizes she fell asleep, and picks her up, carrying her back to their room]

[Sheena Wilder]

[enters and heads towards the fiction section]

[reading will help pass the time]

[finds a historical fiction and begins to read]

[Richard]

[enters]

[finds an "interesting" book]

[takes it and leaves]

[Sheena Wilder]

[fell asleep while reading]

How long do you think you can do this?

[As long as I have to.]

Aw, don't you miss your husband? (images of Zelos flash in her mind) You know, your knight? (the image from her dream) Or how about your baby?

[Don't even think about it. I'm getting tired of you and your games. What do you want?]

You. You're the only one who got away. (fades away)

[continues sleeping, while a plan forms in her heart]

[Sheena Wilder]

[half-awake]

Do you think this will work?

[Shut up.]

All I have to do is show you those images any time I want.

[What?]

Did you think I could only affect you while you sleep? I possessed that boy when he was awake. All I need is the weak-willed. (pause) Although, you've put up more of a fight. (images of Zelos and the baby injured or dead by her hand start flashing through her mind)

[No...stop this!]

Laughter

[wakes up, and runs]
