There was a knock on my door and I was startled. I opened the door and Shand walked in. He put his arms around me and rocked back and forth. Everyone I loved was gone, except for Shand, and I was not going to lose him. I looked beyond him and saw a face, a white ghastly face, with red fire eyes staring at me. I backed away from Shand and saw it move closer to me. It opened its mouth and worms crawled from it, and fell to the floor. I screamed and tripped over a chair. When I came to I heard two people talking and I stirred a little. I didn't open my eyes because of the pain. It was pounding in my skull and I thought that something trying to come out. I moaned and thrashed about; I couldn't stand it any more. I opened my eyes and even the little light that came from the lamp at the bedside table burned. I closed my eyes again and I felt someone put a cold towel on my forehead. "Angelina, sweetie? Can you hear me? Can you open your eyes for me? Sweetie, open your eyes." The voice was kind, but stern so I did what I was told. I opened my eyes, but didn't close them when the light hit them. A familiar man was standing over me, but I couldn't put his face to his name. I looked over his shoulder and saw Shand pacing around. "Sweetie, look at me. That's good. OK now I'm going to look at your eyes to see if your pupils are reacting to the light. Good girl. Ok now tell me what day is it?" What day is it? I don't know so I'll just say Monday. "Monday?" I saw the doctor shake his head, and saw him beckon Shand. He came over and kneeled down beside me. I gave him a weak smile, and he took my hand. "Honey, you gave me quit a scare there when you screamed. What was it that you saw?" I closed my eyes and thought hard about what I did see. And then I remembered. My eyes flew up and I squeezed Shand's hand so hard that I saw him wince. "A face. Evil face with blood red eyes, a skull. Worms. worms coming out of the mouth, dropping to the floor. Coming closer to me, trying to talk, but worms falling out." Shand looked at the man wide-eyed. The doctor shook his head and walked away. "Are you sure it wasn't a dream honey? Nothing like that can be real." "No! It's true. It happened when you were hugging me, and I thought that I couldn't live if I lost you too, and I looked over your shoulder and there it was. Horrible, just horrible, a vile thing. I'm scared Shand. What's going to happen to us? Maybe Vagnone isn't keeping to his word, and he will try to marry me. But if that is so, then he will kill you. Oh Shand, I couldn't live without you." He hugged me and stroked my hair. He held me for a long time, and then I pulled away to see his face. I saw tears going down his face, and it broke my heart. Why did I have to be sixteen to marry him? I want to marry him now. I only have to wait until the feast of the Resurrection, and I will be wed.
