That was several years ago,
thoughStill, you could compare a map to the lines I remembered beforeAs always, I'll tell you
if I get anything moreAs soon as it was gone, terror washed through me
Not Jamie!
Her voice in my head was as clear as my own spoken aloudI shuddered in horror
Even as I struggled with the fear of what was happening, I was gripped with the insane desire
to e-mail the Seeker again and apologize for sending her my crazy dreamsTo tell her I was half
asleep and to pay no attention to the silly message I'd sent
The desire was not my own
I shut off the computer
I hate you,the voice snarled in my head
?Then
omega olympic watch maybe you should leave,? I snappedThe sound of my voice, answering her aloud, made
me shudder again
She hadn't spoken to me since the first moments I'd been hereThere was no doubt that she
was getting stronger

of disappointment and humiliation welled in my eyes at the thought
I went back to bed, put a pillow over my face, and tried to think of nothing at all
CHAPTER 5
Uncomforted
Hello there, Wanderer! Won't you take a seat and make yourself at home??
I hesitated on the threshold of the Comforter's office, one foot in and one foot

expressions now; the little muscle twitches and shifts had become familiar through months of

I met her eyes guiltily?I did leave a message about that last appointmentI had a student who
requested some of my time She smiled the tiny smile again

ponytailHer eyes were an interesting green color I'd never seen on anyone else
?I'm sorry,? I said, since she seemed to be waiting for a responseIt's difficult for you to come hereYou wish so much that it
wasn't

I stared down at the wooden floor
?I know I've asked you to call me Kathy
She laughed lightly?You are not at ease with human names yet, are you, Wanderer??
?NoTo be honest, it seems? like a surrender
I looked up to see her nod slowly?Well, I can understand why you, especially, would feel that
way
I swallowed loudly when she said that, and stared again at the floor
