Chapter 2
Helena was waiting for Myka at the entrance of the restaurant, "Everything ok?"
"Yeah everything is fine, Artie is a little grumpy but what else is new?"
Chuckling Helena peered around Myka but found the man had left "Yes well, who was that older gentleman you were talking to?"
"Oh just someone I ran into, literally" Myka laughed while rubbing her head.
"You really do need to be more careful love" Helena replied, not being able to restrain the smile she was trying to hide. "I took the liberty of ordering for you, I hope you don't mind" Helena shared, heading in the direction of their table.
The Brit kept talking while Myka trailed behind lost in her own thoughts when suddenly a searing pain ripped through her body. Every nerve felt like it was on fire, devouring her from the inside out, she couldn't speak, couldn't breathe. Unable to call out to Helena, the agent collapsed into the nearest chair cradling her head in her hands trying to keep the room from passing out.Forcing one shaky breath after another, Myka fought the panic that was slowly rising in her chest.
"Pete assured me that you would want chocolate milk but I insisted him that you would want tea..." Helena stopped, realizing the younger agent was no longer behind her. "Myka?" She called, searching the crowd for her friend.
As quickly as the wave consumed her body, it dissipated leaving a very weak and nauseous agent. Myka battled the urge to be sick, closing her eyes to focus on keeping herself together.
Making her way back towards the lobby, Helena spotted Myka huddled in a chair bent over in pain. Helena raced towards the younger agent "Myka? What is it? What's wrong?" She knelt in front of her, pushing the curls from her face.
The throbbing that was pulsating in Myka's ears began to fade and her breaths began to come easier, slowly she opened her eyes afraid any sudden movements would send the world upside down again. Helena placed her hands on top of Myka's, noticing how shaky they were "Myka, say something."
Tucking her hair behind her ears, Myka meet Helena's concerned gaze "I'm ok" she whispered.
"Myka, what happened?"
"Just got really dizzy all of a sudden."
Requesting water from a nearby waiter, Helena couldn't tear her eyes away from Myka. The younger agent's skin was paler than normal, sweat glistened on her forehead and her breathing was labored. Handing the water to Myka, Helena watched her drink a few sips, the cool water caused the Myka to shiver.
"Maybe you should eat something, Myka you haven't eaten since this morning."
"I'm not very hungry; I think I might just go up to bed." Myka hoped Helena could see how exhausted she was, she didn't have the energy to argue about this with her.
"Alright love, you stay here and finish that glass while I go tell the others we are going up to the room ok?"
Myka nodded and watched Helena hurry over to the other agents. Finishing the glass, she began to massage her temples trying to relieve the throbbing, every sound in the room echoing inside her head.
Upon returning, Helena wrapped her arm around Myka's waist "come on, let's get you upstairs. Do you think you can walk?"
Myka stood slowly, leaning heavily on the Brit "yeah I think so." Realizing her legs could hold her weight she pulled away from Helena slightly but the older agent kept her arm wrapped tightly around her waist.
They rode the elevator in silence; Myka laid her head on her friend's shoulder, eyes closed from complete exhaustion. Helena got them into their room and helped Myka down onto the bed "Are you sure you're ok Myka?"
Honestly, Myka didn't know where to begin to explain what she had experienced, the pain had been unreal. She could hear how concerned Helena was, it was written all over her face. Myka felt fine now, still had a headache but that was it. There was no need to worry Helena over something she couldn't understand herself. Propping herself up on an arm, she smiled "yeah, I just got dizzy. I must have hit my head a lot harder then I thought, maybe you were right." She smiled trying to lighten the mood. With a smirk, Helena laughed "I usually am darling you should know that by now. I'll go draw you a bath to help you relax."
Laying back down on the bed Myka snuggled into the pillow, the coolness felt good against her cheek. She was absolutely drained, her eyelids felt like they were being weighed down by a hundred pounds of pressure. Myka slowly drifted off, not being able to hold back sleep any longer.
Helena dipped her arm into the bath to make sure the water was at the correct temperature, drying her arm off she made her way back to where she left the younger agent "Myka would you like some..." She stopped as she saw her friend had fallen asleep. She crossed over and slowly removed Myka's shoes, careful not to wake her. After covering her with a blanket, Helena went and drained the water from the tub, she hated to waste a perfectly good bath but she wanted to be close by if Myka needed her. Slipping into her pajamas she crawled into bed beside her friend, brushing a few stray curls off Myka's face. "Sleep well darling" leaning over she kissed Myka on the forehead. Helena was concerned for her, ever since they had gotten back from their mission she noticed that Myka had been acting strangely, maybe this head injury was more serious then she thought. Seeing that her friend was peacefully sleeping she decided to discuss that topic with her in the morning. Propping herself up against the head board she pulled out her copy of 1984and picked up where she had left off.
Myka could feel sleep settle down on her enveloping her completely, as she hovered on the edge of consciences she sensed something was wrong. She wasn't alone, she could hear them. They were coming for her.
