All these thoughts ran through Jake's head as he stared at the man, his brow creased in worry, feeling himself rock back and forth to comfort himself (by this point the Healer wasn't touching his nose).
Unable to say anything for fear that his voice might go all wibbly and upset, Jake just blinked and looked back at Ashford.
Breathing quite heavily (through his mouth of course) and close to panic, Jake tried to stop himself rocking and do as he was told. He squeezed his eyes shut and felt his fingers grip the bed real hard.
"Unicorn," he muttered to himself, kind of crazily. "Unicorn, wwwwhite, pure, unicorn free..."
Okay... slightly calmer...
"Sphinx... luhh-lion, evil. Lion. Evil lion. Puh-pain."
Erm... maybe not.
"Thestral, death, thestral, see death, death, Set, Kyle, Helios, Abby, death death death..."
Oh Merlin, he was running out somehow.
"Snidget..."
Hearing Jake's words, Marcus immediately moved away from Dylan and stood in front of Jake. "Okay that's obviously not working" he said faintly, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Jake I want you to close your eyes and remember the time we went to the beach. Now concentrate, can you hear the sound of the waves? Feel the sand between your toes and the sun on your skin." He looked over to Ellie and indicated that she should do what she had to...and quickly.
