Chapter 1

Declan woke up in a cold sweat his head hurt so bad he wondered if he was hung over but he couldn't remember drinking. He sat up his head felt fuzzy as he rub his face with his hand and then checked his watch. Crap he was going to be late meeting Magnus. He jumped when something moved beside him he looked down to see an unclothed Kate Freelander. He removed himself as quickly as he could from the bed only to realize that he was not clothed either.

"Bloody Hell" he cried bringing more pain to his head.

Kate moaned and turned in her sleep. What did they do? He remembered he and Kate were on a mission to collect a new type of abnormal lizard most likely something that had escaped from Hollow Earth .They succeeded but not before Kate gotten bitten. It was badly swollen by the time they returned to his Sanctuary. The doctor was stumped Kate's blood didn't show any kind of poison or toxin in her blood she ran a fever for a few hours but then she was fine. Declan insisted she stay for the night in case she got sick again before she got home. She tried to fight with him insisting that she would be fine but Magnus told her to stay where she was and that she would meet them in the morning to pick up the abnormal. He showed her to a room and then the rest was blank he tried hard to remember what happened after that but it hurt his head so bad. He was sure that he didn't remember sleeping with Kate but that was sure what it looked like. A sharp ringing brought more pain to his head. He hurried to the chair in the corner where his pants were grabbing the noisy phone out of his pocket.

"Macrae," he croaked out.

"Declan? Are you alright? Where are you?" the voice asked concerned.

"Yes. No. In a room," he answered painfully.

"Ok hang on we'll catch a cab and be there soon," the voice said.

He hung up not wanting to talk anymore.

Damn his slow brain just realized that was Magnus and she was going to catch him in Kate's room both of them naked if he didn't hurry and get out of there and he wouldn't be able to explain any of it. He slipped on his boxers and then pants quickly as possible. He looked at the bed to see a glassy eyed Kate staring at him. He guessed the phone had awakened her. She had really flushed cheeks and he bet she was running a high fever.

"What?" she croaked out.

"I don't know," he said, as the pain in his head increased when he bent down to get his shirt off the floor.

"I don't know what happened but I'm sorry Kate. I truly am," he said, softly to the confused beautiful woman in the bed. Dressing so quickly and rushing to the door had made him nauseous.

"Magnus is coming," he said as he closed the door and hurried to his room down the hall.

He quickly opened the door to his room grabbed the rubbish bin and began to vomit.

Down stairs at the Sanctuary in England

Parker carefully flipped the pancake on to the plate with the others and added batter to make another. He liked cooking for his friends it made him control his strength especially when cooking eggs. He wiped his hands before answering his phone.

"Good Morning this is Parker," he answered cheerfully.

"Good Morning Parker this is Magnus. Do you know where Declan is?"

"He's not at the airport picking you up doc?"

"No. I called him and he sounded dreadful he said he was in a room and could barely speak. Would you go check on him and Kate for me we've caught a cab and will be there soon."

"Of course, I'll tell Tim to let you in the gate and meet you at the door,"

"Thank you," Magnus said, hanging up the phone.

Parker quickly hung up, cut off the stove and grabbed his radio as he ran for the stairs.

"Tim Dr. Magnus is coming in a cab let her in the gate and meet her at the front door then show her to Miss. Freelander's room ok," he said as his long legs raced up the stairs three at a time.

"Sure," came a lazy reply.

Parker heard the dry heaving from the top of the stairs as he hurried to his boss's room. He was startled to see Declan's door wide open and him on the floor shirtless gagging into a rubbish bin.

"Boss what happened?" he asked as he kneeled down beside him.

Declan looked up at him with glassy eyes.

"Parker my head is going to explode," he whimpered.

"Let's get to the doc's," Parker said, as he carefully took Declan's arm to help him stand.

It scared Parker when Declan's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he went limp. He easily scooped up his boss and headed for the elevator.

Magnus was surprised to see Declan's teenage second in command hurrying towards them carrying Declan as if he was small child.

"Doc he's real sick I found him in his room dry heaving and he's burning up," said the scared red head blue eyed boy.

Much to her relief Magnus quickly found Declan's pulse but it was beating much too rapidly.

"Get him to the infirmary and tell them to start him on an IV."

"Ok! Oh Miss. Freelander's room is at the end of the hall. I haven't checked on her," he said, as he hurried into elevator.

"I'll come with you," Will said, speaking for the first time as he grabbed the elevator door and stepped in.

"Wow doc if Declan's condition is that bad…," Henry didn't finish as he chased after Magnus towards Kate's room.

Magnus rushed into Kate's room to see her sitting up in her bed unclothed vomiting into a rubbish bin. Magnus quickly turned around when she heard Henry at the door.

"Henry don't come in here."

"Why?"

"She's not clothed for one thing and another I need you to go find me a gurney."

"Oh," he said, scurrying out the door.

Magnus took Kate's shirt off the fire place mantel and walked towards the bed.

"Let's get your blouse on Kate," Magnus spoke softly so not to startle the sick woman.

"Magnus"

"Yes Kate it's me your running a really high fever and we have to get you to the infirmary and get you started on a IV ok?"

"Ok," she said as she lifted her arms as Magnus slipped the blouse over her head.

Magnus helped her slip into her underwear and pants and then helped her lay back down. Magnus smiled as Kate's head leaned into her touch as she went to tuck her hair behind her ears. She had never seen Kate look so weak and it frightened her a little.

"Kate I'm going to look at the bite ok?" she said, and carefully unwrapped her arm.

Magnus was surprised to see there was only two small marks it wasn't swollen or anything.

"That's not right," Kate said her eyes growing heavy.

"Magnus was Declan in my room earlier?"

"I highly doubt it he is just as ill as you are."

Kate's eyes had just dropped closed when Henry rushed in with a gurney.

"Sorry Declan, started seizing and Parker, got upset and I had to help get him calmed down. How's Kate?" Henry asked panting.

"She's very ill. We need to get her started on an IV soon. Where is Parker?" she asked, as she helped Henry move Kate on to the gurney.

"We had no choice but to sedate him and put him in his room. Kid doesn't know his own strength he just about destroyed the infirmary,"

"No he doesn't that's why he is here to learn," she said, as she pushed Kate to the elevator.

Later that night

Magnus was completely stumped and it was driving her crazy! Kate and Declan's blood came back negative for any type of toxins, poisons, bacteria or viruses that would cause them to be so sick. Their fever was finally breaking after a healthy dose of fluids and medicine. There hormones were way off the charts for a while but that wouldn't cause their symptoms. So now she was staring at a computer screen trying to see if there was anything in their blood that she had missed. Will, Henry and anyone else that could help were studying the abnormal cautiously. So many questions needed to be answered like why did Kate's symptoms come and go? Why her bite was almost healed? Why did Declan show the same symptoms but had not been bitten? She shook her head and stood up to stretch for a minute when she heard a noise coming from the hall. She walked towards Dr. Benson who was standing in front of steel reinforced door that loud pounding was coming from the inside.

"Dr. Benson what is going on?"

"Parker is awake and I haven't seen him this upset in a long time. I'm afraid if he keeps pounding he's going to break through,"

"Well open the door! He's not dangerous he is just scared and wants answers about his friend."

"He lost control! You saw what he did to the infirmary,"

"Then open the door and let me talk to him he needs to know why he is locked in his room."

"If you're sure."

"Positive"

Dr. Benson opened a little window on the door.

"Parker, Dr. Magnus, wants to talk to you will you let her come in?" he asked

"I want to see Declan."

"Maybe after you and I talk ok?"

"Alright," he grumbled.

She walked into the large room. It was decorated with sports things, posters and other things that teenage boys like. It looked like a normal room for a normal teenager but that was far from the truth with Parker. He was only eighteen and already six feet six inches tall and despite his thin frame he was already stronger than ten men maybe more. He had a baby face with big blue eyes and bright red hair so it was hard to believe that this kid would harm anybody. Declan found him in Florida while on another mission when he was only fifteen. He had been living on his own and joined a gang when Declan found him he had been shot. Once he was well Declan helped him learn how to control his strength and anger issues. Declan made him his second in command because he learned fast and his strength would come in handy one day. Now he just sat in the middle of his bed looking like a lost little boy and it broke her heart.

"Declan's, going to be pissed at me when he sees what I've done,"

"He's not going to be happy but I think he'll understand," she said, sitting on the edge of the bed next to him.

"He said his head was going to explode and then he passed out! I've never seen him so sick."

"It scared you?"

"No, I've seen people die in front of me before I..I."

"Just didn't want Declan to die?"

"I got angry pretty stupid uh?"

"The fear of losing someone we care about can cause us to behave in ways we normally wouldn't."

"Then he started having a seizure and that scared the crap out of me and that when I lost it. It was like I couldn't stop myself I just started throwing things. I didn't hurt anyone did I?" he asked, his voice cracking.

"A nurse got cut by some glass but she will be fine," she said, rubbing his arm.

"Can I see Declan now?"

"If you promise to stay calm he hasn't woken up yet but he is doing much better."

"I promise," he said, as he stood and held out his hand to help her up.

She smiled when he didn't let go of her hand as they walked out of the room and down the hall.

She felt him tense a little when they walked past the broken window but he relaxed when she gently squeezed his hand.

They walked in to the infirmary to see Dr. Benson sitting Declan's bed up for him. Declan's eyes were wandering around his shambled infirmary.

"What in bloody hell happened in here?" Declan asked, looking a Dr. Benson.

Magnus cleared her throat to let the men know they were in the room. Declan looked at Magnus and then at Parker who had his hung head low.

"Parker mate what happened?" Declan asked, trying to get Parker to look at him.

Parker shrugged.

"I'm not in the mood for the shrugging game Parker explain," Declan said, rubbing his head.

"Parker was the one that found you so ill and it really upset him," Magnus explained.

"Its ok mate we'll talk more later ok?" Declan asked, understanding.

Parker looked at him and nodded.

"How's Kate?" Declan asked looking at the other bed in the room.

"She's doing much better. Can you explain how you got the same symptoms as Kate? Did you get bit?"

"No I didn't get bit. I'm not sure what to say I showed Kate to her room and then woke up sick as a dog I can't remember what happen in between that time,"

Even if he did remember more he wasn't about to tell Magnus that he woke up unclothed in Kate's room.

"Well maybe Kate, can tell us more when she wakes."

He hoped not.
