Sakina steps into the backyard with you after breakfast. She gasps as she looks around the beautiful sanctuary. "Oh this is really lovely. You did all of this?"

Evelyn shakes her had at the question, "This is my mentors home but he is back in New York right now and lets me stay here when I need a place to get away for awhile." She smiles, "He made sure it was a refuge to help clear thoughts, a safe place to meditate. So I find myself out here quite a bit." Sakina moves out into the yard. "May I?" She moves out into the meditation area, running her hand softly along a flower or a tree similar to her touch of your face. "Its beautiful. Your mentor...what kind of teacher is he? Martial Arts? Yoga? I love the sound of the chimes. She closes her eyes.

Evelyn watches as the beautiful lady moves like the wind further into the yard, and she smiles watching her, as she gently touches the flowers along her way. "He helps me in history, library sciences and linguistics. We work together to translate different texts and old transcripts. With my Asthma he wanted me to have a place I could just come to and calm and feel safe." Of course she isn't telling he entire story behind him, but part of it.

Sakina says, "He must truly value you as a pupil to entrust this treasure." She spins around slowly with arms wide." She opens those ##violet## eyes looking back at you. "Aren't you going to join me?""

An image flashes in your mind. Thousands of typed pages written in arabic are swirling around you before they fall away to reveal a stone temple or palace. Sakina is wearing a violet gown and an onyx circlet. Men are worshipping her, prostrate upon the marble floor. Draped around her throne, are scantily clad women leashed and collared. She looks mercilessly down at the supplicants.

Evelyn smiles warmly, "I was admiring the view with you in it. You are so serene, so perfect just there and I could not help but think about how it is you can exist so perfectly in this world, that.." She stops herself a moment as she cautiously moves closer captivated by those violet eyes. When she does move closer though, she reaches up to touch the tip of those beautiful ears. There is just something that captivates the young librarian." The contact with Sakina brings Evelyn to her knees holding her head, trembling and trying desperately to catch her breath but she can't her breath, as she tries to hold herself up. Evelyn is terrified and unable to breath, scared and confused, locked in the memory of Sakina's, trying to claw at her throat her lips and fingertips turning blue.

Sakina looks some what taken aback as your fingers are feeling parts of her ears that arent physically there. Dropping to your knees seems quite exciting for her until you start clawing at your throat. At first she freaks out. "Evelyn whats wrong? Do you...?" Then she remembers and rushes inside, returning moments later with the inhaler you left on the counter. "Breathe!". She puts the nozzle in your mouth, by force if needed and gives you a shot of the medicine.

Evelyn tries to breathe it in, trying desperately to inhale the medicine, but nothing happens. She still feels a tightness in her chest, and a dizziness in her head. She still sees the images and feels the emotions that Sakinas triggered. She still feels the pull and the fear, still feeling trapped in a nightmare. Tears are falling down her cheeks as she can't catch her breath, despair and helplessness flooding over her.

Sakina gives you another shot before picking you up and carrying you to the deck. "Ive got you she says, trying to be reassuring and not sure it matters. Once she lays you down on your back she gets out her phone to call an ambulance. She doesnt know whats happened only that Evelyn did it to herself.

The second shot of medication, finally helps her breath a little easier. Evelyn is still wheezing, but slowlly she is starting to pull more air in. Her fingers curling at her side, opening and closing as she just seems to try to focus on just breathing as the image fades from her mind, and she looks up at Sakina tearfully. She manages very weakly. "O..k." It is hard to understand her, but it more than she was getting from her. She is still visibly shaken and confused.

Sakina still looks alarmed. "Im going to call you an ambulance.". If you dont stop her she will call 911.

Evelyn can't stop her as her airway starts to constrict again very weak and very dizzy, she is clearly having trouble staying awake and alert, very pale and sweaty, with dark circles forming under her eyes. She looks scared and confused, her body trembling, like she is suffering.

What follows for you is a bit of a haze. Was someone doing CPR on you, was there some sort of things attached to your cheat. //Shock not recommended. Continue CPR//. You wake up in a hospital bed in the gowns used for patients and those tractioned socks. At some point you got your own room upstairs once stabilized and you have an oxygen tube to your nose. Sakina is sitting in a chair beside your bed reading a novel. You can hear the page turn in her fingers. Song of Susannah the Book is called. A magenta cover and apparently part of The Dark Tower series. Its very bright outside to still be morning.

Evelyn blinks slowly as she starts to wake, her fingers curling, the scent of antiseptic filling her nostrils along with the oxygen, and the distinctive sound of a page turning? That is a very familar sound to her, did she fall asleep in the library again, everything seems to be a bit fuzzy, confusing. She also feels the warmth of the light filtering in brightly. She tries to lift her head but feels a dull ache in her chest and tightness around her throat, coughing weakly and making a raspy sound. She finally realizes she is hospital room and wires and tubes are attachd to her body, monitoring her vital signs and delivering fluids and medications. She feels that tube in her nose, and wonders how long she has been here.

       She finally turns her head to see Sakina sitting there holding the book in her hand, and tries to whisper her name only it won't come out. She feels a lump in her throat and a dryness in her mouth. She tries to lick her lips, but they are cracked and sore. She shivers slightly and lays there for awhile just watching Sakina reading that book. She tries to remember what happened, but her memory is fuzzy and fragmented. Trying to remember causing her heart rate to pick up, which is definitely not a good thing for her.

Sakina eventually notices you struggling. Something cool pressed to your lips. You realize as she pushes it in that its an ice chip. Fortunately she didnt touch your lips or who knows what might happen? (If in fact its not just hands) "Evelyn, are you ok darling. Can you hear me? Chew that up its just ice."

Evelyn feels something cool pressed against her lips, as she realizes that She has pushed an ice chip against her lips and is grateful for the relief she feels. She isn't sure if her powers are still active, or if they could hurt Sakina. She starts to remember the last time she touched Sakina she felt a surge of flash of her past and surge of emotion. All Evelyn can do in the moment though as she tries to keep her thoughts to the moment, is nod and slowly chew the ice chip. It is doing wonders to sooth her throat. There are a great many thoughts that fill Evelyn's mind, she ties to mouth the words, struggling to whisper them or anything at all. "How...long?"

Sakina says, "About 4 hours. Whatever it is you are, I know you tried to do something to know more about me which was apparently traumatic to your body and mind. That also means you know I am something else which may or may not be dangerous. I think if you mean to kill me you should speak it plainly. I will give you clemency today and then we may face eachother honorably. If you mean me harm and do not tell me however, stories will be written of your suffering. For it will be a thing of legend.""

Evelyn tries to speak but her voice is barely a whisper, which is very painful for the psychic, "Sakina I never meant for it to happen. I can't always control it." She pulls her hands closer to her, trying to keep from contact with Sakina. "I just..see things." Her heartrate is starting to climb again, "Please forgive me." There are genuine tears falling down her eyes as she closes her eyes. "I can't help.." She is beginning to struggle to breath again. All she can do is shake her head because she doesn't know how to explain..."Never...hurt...you." She tries to make Sakina understand. "please..believe..me." Every word is a genuine struggle for her.

Sakina narrows her eyes, seeming oblivious to your pain but then softens. "Shhh shhh shh, hush child. I believe you." She looks around the room, helping herself to some blue plastic surgical gloves. She puts them on each with a snap. Returning to your bedside she places a gloved hand on your forehead, then gently petting your face with a featherlight touch as she sings a lullabye in arabic.

Sakina loses one Willpower

Evelyn feels a wave of relief and gratitude come over her as Sakina softens, and tells her she believes her, she just needed to know she believes her. When she puts on the surgical gloves though, she is confused, but doesn't have the energy to ask. When she feels the ladies hand on her forehead, then on her face with that featherlight touch, she feels herself begin to relax again and drift in a light sleep, lulled to sleep by her voice, her heart rate slowly calming as she sleeps. There is no way that Evelyn would ever intentionally want to hurt anyone.

Sakina looks sadly at Evelyn as she drifts back to sleep. She will leave a note. Grinning as she signs it with a flourish and a little heart at the bottom. It reads....

Dearest Evelyn....

You really know how to show a girl a good time. Burnt breakfast followed by a trip to the emergency room. I was thinking our next date could be a trip to the dentist but you know like a spa day for girls but with drilling and root canals. You cant hear my sarcasm but life is at its base a cosmic joke. I prefer to be laughing. If that doesn't sound fun perhaps an cozy little dinner in the gas lamp district. Dreams are not meant to be discarded or forgotten. Believe...
