Today's a full moon and I've been so concerned with everything else that I didn't even realize it until I heard a whisper in the wind about preparations for the Full Moon Feast outside my window. I've been sweating the entire day. Donna knows this, and she hands me a warm drink that calms me a little and makes me feel better. But the shift is going to happen, I can sense this, and having to face this without Cyran brings tears to my eyes.
I remember the fear I felt acutely. But he was there by my side and my fear vanished. Who will comfort me this time? Who will be my reassurance in the dark?
Just like the last time, the hours seem to be flying now. There's a clock in this room, and it doesn't stop ticking. My symptoms are worsening, just like the first time, and I'm running a fever. Donna stops by and runs a cold bath for me, but it doesn't cool me down. I warm the water. There's nothing we can do to avoid this. I'm shifting tonight, and I don't know what to expect.
