It was cold, but not the cold I remember from the skyplex. I could feel things moving around me. I could hear someone talking to me from far away.

“Olivia wake up!” The voice kept saying over and over again.

It felt weird being so still. Am I dead? I can’t be dead. Can I? Everything felt so strange my hands didn’t function right. I couldn’t open my eyes I didn’t want to know what had happened to Mal.

Daddy was standing next to her; his eyes were all red and puffy. Simon looked at me and River explained the obvious.

“She blacked out.”

“Sweetie are you ok?” I shook my head violently and that made the spinning worse. My grip on momma’s
