Suddenly, I was again. I was... somebody, again. Julian, shadowman, elfking, alien... I was. From an ocean of darkness a light shone to me, a red light.
"Are you Julian?" A young girl about Jenny's (Jenny! I could remember again) age was stooped over me looking into my eyes worriedly.
"Jenny...?" Her eyes resembled Jenny's in their almost extreme innocence and vulnerability.
"You are Julian!" She sat back and smiled brightly. I blinked.
"Are you an angel?"
"Nah, a witch." She grinned again and then blushed as she looked down at me. I gave her a puzzled look but had no energy with which to move.
"Here." She placed a blanket over me. I smiled slightly at her embarrassement and promptly fell asleep.
"Why do you love me?" Jenny looked quizically at me as she asked this.
"Light to darkness." I said back a bit impatiently.
"Maybe you should look below the surface of your love..." She smiled faintly and began to fade away.
"Would you like something to eat?" The girl was beside me as I woke up.
"Yes." I was finally able to look at her fully and take in what exactly I was seeing. Deep red curls tumbled about her beautiful heart-shaped face, and there was an innocence in her wide set deep brown eyes that spoke to me somehow. "Who are you?"
"I'm Bonnie, Bonnie McCullough. I was the one who recarved your name back into the runestave." She seemed unable to pull her eyes from mine.
"Hi Bonnie. Now, if you could point me in the direction of a bathroom, I would be a happy man." I looked at her as she laughed and held out a hand to me.
"Grab it, and I'll help you up." She said seeing my look of confusion.
"We need to talk about your people skills." She grabbed my hand and pulled me up with suprising strength for one of such small stature. Her head appeared to reach only to the centre of my chest.
Bonnie draped my arm around her shoulders as she wrapped her arms around my waist and helped me across the room. I could do little but shuffle my feet ackwardly as we headed into the bathroom. I grinned to see that she had put pants on me while I was sleeping. Pretty nice pink pajama bottoms that were too small for me.
"Uh, are you able to do your thing on your own?" She blushed as she asked this.
"Unless you want to hold me while I piss, no, I don't need help." Bonnie turned even redder and left me at the doorway.
