Virginia looked down at the half eaten steak that she was bringing down to
the kitchen, Jet hadn't eaten all of it, *but he ate something.* Virginia
thought with a smile. Virginia put the plate on the counter and quickly
made her way back upstairs.
She got to the room and careful not to step on any creaky boards, made her way over to Jet, *he's asleep again.* she thought as she looked at him, but then another thought pierced its way into her mind, *why's he so exhausted?* Cautiously Virginia peeled back the blanket and looked Jet over, *I don't see any wounds, not one. Well, I guess that rules out injury, but then what?* Virginia pulled the blanket back over Jet and made her way over to her bed, many thoughts plagued her mind as she was overcome by sleep.

Virginia's Dream
Virginia looked over her surroundings, the sky was a dull gray, and there was nothing, just a desert wasteland. Virginia started walking over the dunes until something caught her eye, she looked to see red, and the ground was now covered in red... *blood?* Virginia thought as she touched the crimson that covered the ground. *the grounds bleeding? How? *
Virginia looked around and saw a glint of silver. *Silver?* Curiosity got the better of her, she ran towards it, and gasped at what she found.
"Jet!" The young drifter was sprawled out on the ground covered in head to toe in blood. Virginia gently put Jet's head in her lap and checked his pulse. *Good, he's still alive.* she let out a sigh of relief and began digging in her pack for heal berries. *I know I have some!* Virginia thought desperately as she began digging farther into her pack.
"Where! Where are they?!" Virginia had dug through her pack to find that she didn't have any heal berries. "But, but I just bought some!"
"Virginia?"
Virginia looked to see that Jet was awake.
"Don't move, it'll be okay, I can use a healing spell." Virginia said as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Don't bother, a healing spell won't get rid of these, I didn't have much of a chance anyway."
"What are you talking about?!" Virginia cried as the tears fell down her cheeks. "You'll get better, I know a healing spell can't fully heal the wounds but it'll stop the bleeding!"
"No, it won't, the cuts won't heal and the bleeding won't stop until..."
"Until what?" Virginia looked at Jet. "Jet?! Jet?!?!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"JET!!!!"
Virginia woke in a cold sweat, her face wet with tears.
"Virginia?"
Virginia turned to see a pair of violet eyes, filled with concern, staring at her, a fresh batch of tears streaked down her face as she threw herself at Jet. *He's alive!* she thought happily as she cried into the confused young man. Not knowing what else to do Jet just held Virginia, rubbing small circles on her back.
"Shhh... shh, it'll be okay." He said in a soft comforting voice.
Virginia's sobs soon stopped, but she didn't let go of Jet. She held on to him until she fell asleep. Jet heard her breath even and gently put her back into her bed. *Wonder what that was all about?* Jet thought as he made his way over to his bed. *Why did she call my name?*
Jet stared at the ceiling trying to come up with answers to his questions, but found none. *Maybe I can ask Virginia in the morning.* But Jet reconsidered this thought after looking at her face; it was red and wet from her crying. He sighed, *I'll just have to figure it out on my own then.*
With those thoughts in mind Jet let sleep grasp him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Virginia woke early the next morning, the dream she had didn't repeat but it was still fresh in her mind. *It was just a dream.* she reminded herself, *It wasn't real, was it?* Panic seized her as she looked over at Jet's bed, he was still asleep, Virginia let out a sigh of relief.
"He's fine." She mumbled to herself, "He's just fine."
Virginia got up and running a brush through her messy hair went downstairs. She was surprised to see that Clive and Gallows were already at a table.
"How come you guys are up so early?" she asked.
"Well, someone yelled out at 5 in the mornin', woke me and Clive up, can you believe it, 5 in the damn mornin'!" Gallows sighed.
"Wow, really?" Virginia faked surprise in her voice as her cheeks turned a bright crimson. Luckily no one noticed, because at that particular moment Jet came downstairs.
"He wakes from the dead!" Gallows joked.
Jet looked at him for a moment, sighed, seized his gun and took aim. Gallows looked at him with pure shock; Virginia looked to see he was holding something in his other hand. *wha-* Virginia got her answer as Jet threw what had been in his and put his gun away, Virginia then turned her attention to Gallows and saw Jet's boomerang in Gallows hand and an indention of it in the middle of his face.
"Kid never could take a joke." Gallows mumbled while rubbing his nose.
Virginia looked at Jet to see if he had heard Gallows comment, if he had he show no indication of it. He walked over and sat down, taking his boomerang from Gallows' hand.
"Where are we going now?" he asked with a bored tone.
"I heard of a place this morning." Clive stated, "It's near the Abyss, it's said that there is something that can completely rejuvenate Filgaia, problem is that the monsters are so strong anyone who go there come back badly injured or don't come back at all."
Virginia's dream flashed in front of her for a second. Filgaia covered in blood and Jet...
"Let's see if it's true." Virginia whispered.
