Well, That's Terrifying

by Geartrude von Smokestack

We found Jaime almost dead, and acting weird. Very quiet, too quiet for him. Even after sleeping, he was too quiet, and he has little horns, not like the horns he has when he gets mad, like real horns like Morq's.
 
He's still hurting, he tried to hide it, but we could tell. Need to get him out of here. Wish there was a hospital. Morq was able to lead us through halls to where Jaime's stuff was. What luck, this place looks like a hospital from movies, but there's no one there. Not the hospital I wanted for Jaime. There was dust on most counters and Jaime found a computer and said some rooms were empty. Before Jaime could punch in another wrong password, Morq called out and she found his stuff. Indeed she did, in the very operating room that he lost his abilities in. Refusing to go in, he stayed outside, and I stayed with him. There was another one of those scary monsters from the forest in there too. Why did it seem this was all connected? Jenson was pretty sure he and Morq could handle it with us helping from outside. Until it screamed.
 
Then its buddies showed up and had Jaime, Puck, and I petrified. They were mutated things like we saw when trying to get the miasma. I tried to make them listen to me, but these were stronger and resisted. I think they also had one of those wormy things controlling them. It was tough trying to decide which way to go. I know Jaime said he would not go back in the operating room, but it was the safer of the two options doing what I could from back there. Jaime rushed the big guy, I wish he hadn't, it hurt him. Puck tried to help and my smoking sphere could only do so much. I know he felt alone and afraid out there.
 
There may not have been much I could have done for him then, but there may be something I can do for him soon.
