I woke up after having a nightmare. Jeb's voice was still in my head. I was sweating and let me tell you, bird kid's do not sweat easily. A blanket was covering me and I was laying in a huge bed. I actually had never slept in a bed before that. Imediately I went into a defensive mode. Then I remember taht I was in Jenny's house. Had they found out abotu my wings?
There was a window. I checked it and along with the door it was locked. I pounded on the door and practically screamed out of it, "Let me out f here, or I'll have to force my way out." It took Jenny over two minutes to unlock the door. By that time I was ready to blow up the locking mechanism.
"You're awake." She was surprised.
"Of course I'm awake."
"Do you know what time it is?"
"I glanced outside, "about six thirty."
She was shocked, "Are you okay? You were tossing and turing in your sleep."
"Yeah, I'm fine." I muttered. "How you get me in the bed?"
"Jethro carried you. Since you're up let's have breakfast. How doe sausage and eggs sound?"
I was confused, "they don't make much of a sound, they're dead."
Jenny laughed. Her thoughts made it quite clear what I had missed. I couldn't help , but laugh. I was not used to human interactions. I needed to get way better at them.
"So were headed to NCIS after you get ready and we eat."
I really didn't know how to ask it. She lead me to the kitchen Starting the food, she handed me the carton of strawberries, "Now you can eat them."
I smiled, finally broaching the subject, "Did Gibbs mention anything after carrying me to the bed?"
"Not really, he sadi you were light, probably from not eating enough. You were thrashing around in your sleep. Want to tell me why?" I of course didn't want to tell her why.
"Bad dream." I didn't elaborate, "I'm guessin gyou want me to change clothes."
"Yeahm that would be nice."
"Okay," I had brought my bag to teh kitchen with me, "Where's your bathroom?"
"I have something yo can change into."
"No thanks." I muttered. Her outfit for me probably didn't cover my wings. When she saw me eat, she still was shocked by the amount. After that, she didn't bring up her outfit for me again.
