Quinn opened his eyes to darkness. A wide area of nothingness stared back at him. His body felt heavy, his mind clear.
"Quinn," a voice spoke out to him and he turned around. Standing there, with her hair tied into a knot and her hand on her sword, Helga smiled at him.
She stretched a hand out to him, "Please. Catch me, Quinn"
Quinn didn't move from his spot. He knew the truth before he even opened his eyes. He knew this was a lie.
"Don't let me go, Quinn"
"You're dead," he said. Though he wondered about his sanity if he was now reduced to speaking to ghosts, "I saw you die with my own eyes"
The spectral image smiled, "Am I?"
....
Quinn woke up in a cold sweat and groaned as he sat up in bed. The bed sheet fell down his naked chest and he felt the draft from the window prickle his body.
