"Mikel?" Sylvie called from the computer screen. "Mikel, are you alright?"
"I..." Mikel’s body prickled with pins and needles. "I don't know."
Melinda rolled over on Theo's bed, putting a hand to Mikel's forehead. "You're sweating like crazy." Melinda sneered, wiping her hand on the bed-sheets.
"I think-Theo..." Mikel faced the door. He could feel the pulsing strength of his Soulmate bounding up the stairs.
The doorknob twitched before slowly turning. A moment later, the door crept open with a loud squeak, but they couldn't see who it was until he stepped within the candle light.
The laptop even managed to catch Sylvie's audible gasp as she covered her mouth. Melinda tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come out. Mikel felt his heart drop to the bottom of his rib-cage.
