Liz swore as she dropped a test tube. 'Liz, are you sure you're OK?' asked the professor in concern. Maybe all that work was finally beginning to take it's toll. 'That's the fourth test tube you've dropped today, along with one thermometer and a beaker, I don't think the university can afford much more of this! Perhaps you ought to go back to your room and get some rest.' He suggested gentle with a grin.
Liz shook her head violently, 'No really I'm fine. I just need to keep my mind busy. I'm fine, just fine!'
Serena eyed her worriedly, could the trip to Antar have done this to her? Surely not. it had never hurt anyone before! But no one human had been there for thousands of years. No that couldn't be it, there must be something else!
Liz slammed down the apparatus, she was getting no where, and for some reason she just couldn't concentrate. She slumped down on a stool and rubbed her temples. Why would this damn headache just not go away? She picked up a pen and began to write up the results from her latest experiment.
How could Max be so arrogant? He'd just walked back into her life and expected everything to be perfect! Well I have news for you, Maxi boy, not everything in life goes your way! I should know! I've had more crap in the last four years than most people get in a life time! And those who do get as much as me normally end up in a mental institution or a hospital! Come to think of it, I did! Yeah well, looks like my life is just one big bowl of cherries!
Liz let out her breath and looked back down at her page. Her work was covered in doodles, all that work had taken her days to do! She groaned and slammed her head down onto the table, flinging out her arms. Her left hand connected with a beaker of water and iodine, that went crashing to the floor.
The professor's head jerked back up! 'That's it Liz, you're going back to your apartment! This isn't just about your safety now! You're a health hazard! Go, take the day off, have a walk around campus, get some fresh air. I don't want to see you till Monday,' he commanded.
Liz looked up at him pleadingly but he just turned away. Not now, not this weekend! Friday, Saturday and Sunday with just her, Maria and the aliens from hell! Oh life just keeps getting better!
Liz looked down at the mess on the floor hopefully. Headache and cleaning was better by a long way than headache and Max!
'I'll do it,' said Serena following her gaze. Liz shook her head violently.
'Thank you Serena. Go home Liz!' called the professor without turning round.
Liz sighed and picked up her things. She walked slowly to the other end of the lab and out of the door into the bright sunlight.
'Quickly Parker,' growled the professor.
She groaned in response and turned towards the apartment. Well, she thought, I'm gonna have to go home sooner or later. I guess now is as gooder time as any. She sighed again and began to walk.
She was only a few hundred yards further on when the black spots began to dance before her tired eyes. The throbbing in her head was increasing with the sunlight and her ears were singing. She raised a hand to massage her forehead. Damn it, she thought, I knew I shouldn't have been shaking my head at Serena!
Liz shot her eyes wildly around her looking for something to hold onto. She swayed where she stood but there was nothing and the darkness around her as growing. She began to mentally kick herself. Why do I always have to walk in the middle of the path?
Liz' body began to sway more violently. Oh god! She was going to faint right here, with nothing to hold onto! Her knees buckled and gave way, her body began to plunge towards the ground. She clamped her eyes shut and waited for the impact of the harsh gravel on her bare knees.
Faintly she heard the sound of a yell and running feet. And then, in the split second before she hit the ground, she felt a strong arm grasp her. But then everything went black.
