Jasper is Awake

Jasper:

I felt like I had been run over. I had no idea what had happened or how I ended up here.

The last thing I remember was the smoke being thrown at me like daggers, and everything went black from there.

"Oh, you're waking up." I hear her voice and immediately feel sick.

Why is she here?

I turned my head the best I could in the direction her voice came from.

"Jalesa, why the hell are you inside my house, let alone next to my bed?" I ask, my voice weak and my throat dry.

She gets up and grabs a glass of water.

Sitting on the side of my bed, she helps me sit up and gives me the glass.

I'm thankful for this, as my throat feels like the desert itself, but I'm so confused about how she could possibly be here.

"Jasper, I think it's best you get some strength before I explain everything," she says.

This isn't good news. If she is here, that means Phoenix knows about her.
