DREW

Drew looked at Cam and Sebastian as they walked up to him and a still unconscious Sam. He did not like the look on Sebastian's face as he looked at Sam. He knew that something was wrong. No doubt in Drew's mind at all, Sebas-tian knew something was wrong.

Sebastian quickened his pace and when he reached them, he knelt and took Sam's hand.

"She's so cold. Why is she so cold? Where is Deric?" at the mention of Deric's name, Sam moaned, but she didn't wake up. She shivered and curled up tighter to Drew as she pulled her hand away from Sebastian, and grabbed hold of his jacket so tightly that Drew was afraid she actually might tear it. He gently took her hand in his, after a bit of prying, and held it firmly.

"It's alright Pet. Don't worry. He will be okay." He felt her relax some, but not enough to help ease his worry. She was getting sick without Deric. It was a side effect of the way that they were taken away from each other. If ortho couldn't figure something out soon, he would have to bring Deric back the way he was just to keep the Euphoric from reaching her heart. He could put her in a coma and just the presence of Deric would gradually help her. It might even help him too.

"Drew?" Cam whispered. "What... happened?"

"Jason." Sam whimpered and he soothed her softly. "Shh Sam. It's okay. He isn't here. He would never hurt you intentionally, you know that. Everything will be okay."

"What do you mean-"

"Not now." Drew looked at Sebastian with a look he knew said to not push it, but then sighed and softly stroked Sam's hair out of her face. "She needs rest, and even though she is unconscious right now, she can sense what is happening. What's being said. she cannot relax without Deric, but thanks to Jason, Deric is unstable and Ortho is trying to fix that so that he can get Deric back to her. This is what happens when they are separated the way they were, and it's only going to get worse until they are back together."

"What-"

"That is all I'm going to say about it right now. We need to get her home and to bed. Make up some excuse about traveling for her father so he doesn't get too worried about her sleeping. He's not going to be happy about me being there at all. He dislikes Deric, he absolutely hates me."

"You did... break... his hand." Drew looked at Sam and saw the small smile on her pail face.

"I did more than that Pet." He sighed. She grimaced. "No, I will not tell you, especially right now. You need to rest."

"Always... in my head." she mumbled.

"Yours is the safest to be." He chuckled. "Are you ready to go?" she shook her head. "Too bad." She breathed a little laugh at that, no doubt because of the memory he gave her back. He would have to give her more later, but for now, that was enough. He always felt bad for taking the memories she had with him, but she didn't need to know everything then. It had always been too dan-gerous, now, he had no choice. He needed to give them back, in order for her to advance in her abilities again. She had gotten very good at one point and now she would need them again.

"Come on Sam. It's time to get you to your new home?" he stood as he gathered her in his arms.

"Why Drew?" she asked as he started walking. He glanced down at her and raised a brow at her. He smiled a little. If you didn't know Sam like he did, you would think that she was asking why they had to leave, (as if she didn't al-ready know) or maybe even why he took the memories, but she knew that.
