s*t*a*r*s/J*A*D*E*S


            She hurts.  She remembers the pain from the first time she lost her leg, but this time, this time is worse because it's physical.  She feels her body shudder and she can't control it.  The new blood is healing her, making her feel better but it doesn't take away the fresh pain of loss.  At least Lee is okay, she thinks as the dreams leave her and reality begins to creep into her mind.

            A gentle hand pushes back her thick hair from her face.  Whispering in French about how it's going to be fine.  She's healing, that she's going to be fine and it could have been worse.

            "I could have lost a finger," mumbles Spencer.  She squeezes her eye closed for just a few minutes more.

            "What?" asks Jo. 

            Spencer swallows, an odd dry clicking sound makes her ears pop.  "I could have lost a finger," she says more loudly.  "Fingers and tongue are the primary way a lesb..."

            "Shut up, Spencer!" snaps Rylee.  She is on the other side of her bed.  Spencer smiles.  

            She hears both Jo and Rylee laugh, Jo's laugh is full and rich, while Rylee's is nervous and embarrassed. 

            "I'm thirsty," says Spencer.  She adjusts her body in the bed, one soft and comfortable bed, but she doesn't open her eyes, not yet.  She doesn't want the full reality of her world to set in, not just yet.  "And pain meds would be good too, come on, I feel jipped, give me some drugs already."
