Something was happening... My body felt weird... So hard to describe. It wasn't nice.

"She's going to be sick." Uncle Edward's voice echoed in my already hurting head. My eyes opened as I threw up into the bowl that Carlisle held out.

It was awful. I was throwing up my insides. I couldn't breathe. Tears poured down my cheeks.

"It's okay Shan..." Carlisle soothed.

"It'll stop soon." Uncle Edward promised.

At long last, the heaves stopped. I laid back down on the couch, feeling even more weak than I did before.

"How... Long...?" I whispered.

"Half an hour." Uncle Edward replied.

I looked at him, replaying the dream in my head. I skipped over the parts of Danny and went straight to Jasper. Uncle Edward winced.

My nightmare.

"So that's why you came downstairs?" He asked me. I nodded slightly.

"What?" Jasper asked.

"She had a nightmare." Uncle Edward replied.

"What about?" Esme asked, leaning against the back of the couch and stroking my cheek.

"Jasper's death." Alice shuddered in response.

"No wonder she passed out."

"And there was us worrying about the sex thing." Uncle Emmett snorted with laughter as he spoke.

"She's not well. That's why she passed out." Carlisle told everyone.

"Has she got some type of flu?" Aunt Rose asked.

"No she has a deadly virus."

"WHAT?!" Jasper, Esme, Aunt Rose and Tomy all cried out at the exact same moment.

"Let me finish! Deadly for humans so lucky she's only quarter human."

"So what does that mean?" Aunt Rose asked.

"Hmm... Sickness, faints, temperatures," Carlisle shrugged. "No cure."

"No antibiotics or anything?" Aunt Bella asked.

"Nope. The venom in her body will fight it off."

"How long will that take?" Tomy asked, anxiously.

"A week? I don't really know. It's hard to say."

"How long would it take a human to heal?" Uncle Edward asked.

"Well..."

"Forget I asked!" Uncle Edward quickly cut across him.

"Speak, Carlisle." Jasper hissed at Uncle Edward.

"Humans can go into comas or even die with this rare type of virus..." Carlisle murmured.

"No..." Jasper groaned. His face was bone white again.

"No but Shannon is only quarter human. The venom in her body will fight it."

"We should give her some space." Esme murmured as I closed my eyes.

I fell fast asleep.
