(Lin's POV)

I remember that night in grate detail. After I had dropped Mai off at home and I had returned to the apartment that I was renting and then went to bed only four and a half hours later to be awoken by a phone call from Mai due to the ring tone I chose for her. I quickly grabbed my cell phone and sat up and answered it by saying "Whats wrong Mai?"

"Lin oh god there is blood every where, I am so scared..." she cried out this made my eyes widened and pushed me in to getting ready "Ow oh god Lin I think that the blood is mine oh god it is Lin there is a cut across my stomach...it hurts Lin help me I'm so scared." She said and started weep. As she spoke to me I quickly got up and changed my clothes and grabbed my keys by the time she was done talking I told her that I was on my way over to her place now and not to move I then asked her if there was a spare key and she told me that there was one on the top of the door. Once there I grabbed the key and opened the door and closed it behind me and briskly walked to her room. When I opened the door I stopped in fear that she might be gone because she was not moving and looked rather pail, that was until I noticed her head turn towards me as her eyes opened. I quickly went to her side and pulled the sheets back and saw the blood all over her stomach and the bed as well without thinking I pulled her shirt up to reveal her stomach only for my eyes to land upon a bloody cut across her stomach. I looked into her eyes and saw that she was slowly starting to get more color and she started to talk to me.

She said "Lin I am scared but I think I am starting to feel better just a little." she smiled up at me and started to sit up and i tried to stop her but she told me that she was not that week. As she looked down at her stomach again Her eyes widened and she whispered "Lin look at my stomach."

"I did Mai it is pretty bad." I told her only for her to respond what I just said.

"No Lin look the cut is going away." when she said that I quickly looked back to her stomach only for me to see the cut closing up and disappearing. I grabbed the sheet and whipped the rest of the blood of her stomach she slightly winched at the slight pressure I applied in order to remove it all. "It is okay Lin I just feel sore like I just worked out." I then looked in her eyes and knew that she would not like what I was going to tell her next.

"Mai... this is dangerous for your health, we need to make it so you are able to train to make sure that you don't dream and suffer like this again." I told her as I looked her in the eyes waiting to see her reaction.

She looked slightly upset at what I was saying. "Lin this is the first time this has happened to me, I did not keep anything from you at dinner."

"I know Mai, I did not want it to sound as if I thought you did. I mean that your life is going to change and I am trying to tell you that I am no longer able to train you and that you are going to have to go to my parents in China to get trained if not them you will have to go to England to get trained by either Noll or his Parents." I said again looking her in the eyes seeing the realization dawn in her eyes.

"Really...is this really that bad..." She asked me.

"Yes it is Mai imagine if the victim in your dream had their throat sliced open then you would bleed out just like them, and you might even die from the blood loss. This is now a very dangerous stage that your levels are at now and we need to get your training done." I told her.

"Okay then when do I start training?" She asked as she pulled away the sheets from her body.

"Well the first question I have is where would you like to train?" I asked as I helped her up from her bed and helped her to the bathroom to she could get cleaned up.

"Lets try your parents because I do not want to see or be near Oliver." She said as I started the water for the shower.

As curiosity piked my interest I asked, "Okay...but why do you not want to see Oliver?"

"Oh...he probably didn't tell you what happened. Well the last time he was here, when we found his brothers body I told him that I liked him and he rejected me by saying that I liked his dead brother who had been helping in my dreams during all of our cases, and he walked away from me before I could tell him that I knew that the one in my dreams was not him that the smiles I received from him were not Oliver's and that Oliver's smiles were earned not freely given to everyone." She said this as she pushed me out of the bathroom and my best guess was that she took a shower.

During her shower I emailed Noll's parents and told her that a family emergency came up and that I was going to need a couple of weeks off. Withing a minuet after I sent the email I received a response saying that it was okay and that they hope that my family was doing okay. I then emailed my parents and told them I was coming to visit them and that I was bring a friend that I need them to train. I quickly explained the situation to them and told them that I would be arriving withing the week. Once I was finished with that I sat there in her living room and looked around that was when I noticed some aspects of Chinese culture through out her home along with Japanese and American culture. As I realized this was when I heard the bathroom door open and close and then Mai's bedroom door open and close. I did a quick check of my email through my cell phone and saw my parents had responded and were okay with it, and yet I feared how they would react when they find out the she is Japanese. At this thought I heard Mai's bedroom door open and close again, and right as she came in to the living room I asked her, "Mai why are there three different cultures portrayed here in your house?"

After I asked that I noticed that Mai looked around her house with a sad smile on her face and before I could tell her not to worry about answering she responded by saying, "Oh well that is because my mother was full Chinese, while my dad was half Japanese and Half American, in which makes me half Chinese and one fourth Japanese and one fourth American. When I was growing up my mother taught me many different customs for each culture, and after she died I did not want everything I learned from her to disappear because she was gone no I wanedt to honor both my parents by keeping in touch with the customs I had grown up learning."

Hearing this made me ask her, "Mai are you willing to learn more about the Chines culture?"

"Yes of course I would love to learn more?" She stated with excitement lacing her voice.

"Okay then I will teach you some customs on the plan tomorrow ones that I believe you should follow once we get to my parents house. Though first I need your passport so I can book us some tickets to China. Once that is done I will help you decided what you want to do with all of your belongings, and by that I do not mean getting rid of them." I told her as she went over to a desk in the corner and pulled out her passport when she heard the last part she looked like she was about to panic until I finished that sentence once I did she seemed to relax a lot as if she knew there were going to be no more problems for her.

Once the tickets were purchased for a flight to China in two days, both Mai and I sat down and talked about where her things were going to be other than the photos of her parents and a few other items that were very important to her all of which were going to go to China with her. Both of us came to the conclusion that we would put all of her things in a storage locker that would be connected to my account, that part was when she tried to argue with me over that detail and that is when I mentioned that she would have no way to pay for it sense she would have no job. That was when she agreed to it only to say that she would pay me back once she was able to get a job. By the time were done discussing all of this it was already 10 in the morning, and so we went to the store to get boxes, she wanted to get cardboard boxes and I told her no and that we were getting plastic since we do not know how long she will be gone for. I also got Mai a big hard case suitcase for the trip so she could fit everything in it. Also that I did not want to have it where if she came back and got her stuff that there were a bunch of bugs in her items with tightly sealed plastic I knew that that would not happen.

Once I purchased quite a few we put them all in the back of my car and headed back to her apartment and started to pack every thing that was not going that included all of her cooking wear, we were done packing in less than six hours. We then went and put them in a storage locker under both of our names but was attached to my card so it would be automatic withdraws when it came time to make a payment. As she went back up to her apartment I told her to get packing, while I took care of some things with her manger, and I went to her manger and told her that Mai would no longer be living here and that was due to some dangerous health issues that were suddenly brought to attention. After that I went up to her apartment and started to help Mai pack her suitcase which contained all of her clothes and personal care items and the family items she was taking with her, when we had packed her clothing bag I was surprised to see some Qipao with hair pins that match in her closet all of which she put in the suitcase. Once that one was full I filled up her regular big suit case she took on every case with her shoes and jewelry and her purses.

When we finished that I went by my apartment and grabbed all of my belongings and went back to Mai's. I told her that I would be staying here on the sofa in order to make sure she did not have any dreams, at that point I hung up some talisman that would prevent any and all ghost, spirits, or other entities from getting in contact with Mai. It was also due to the fact that we were leaving thew next day early in the morning that I wanted to stay there. That night nothing happened and we both woke up early that morning and loaded my car with our bags
