[i]Shane?.... Who is Shane?[/i] Sun thought to himself when Shay called out the name under her breath. 

Nonetheless, Sun maintained the telepathic connection between himself and Shay, breaking a gentle smile of affection when he noticed that his mental reverbation with her caused a slight and somewhat awkward smile across her face. He traced his fingertips lightly along her ear, and over her forehead, brushing some of her hair from her face. He looked back to her eyes and focused more intently. The stream of sprites were still flowing from his mind into hers and he was now at this point, feeling the strain as he began to sweat and his body was feeling heavy and fatigued. Shay's body trembled violently, causing Sun to startle and rest his hand on her arm and then gently gliding his hand along her arm until it rested in her own hand. He slid his fingers between hers until their hands were clasped together. 

[i]Sun, what's going on? What's happening to me? What...what do you mean it's not real? I saw them take everyone...kill them...it's not real?[/i], Shay finally spoke out to him telepathically. 
Sun gleamed in glee that he was finally able to get her to focus her mind on his voice. His mental voice spoke so softly, it was almost like a mother was comforting her child who just had a nightmare. It was so unusal though. Shay was always the one protecting Sun and comforting him, and now, he was the one doing it to her. He was being the mother...so to speak. 

[i]Don't worry Shay...you'll be fine. You were injured in the battle against the Dead. Tobias...the doctor...he had to give you some kind of antidote...but....it caused u to see illusions. No one was taken anywhere, we are all here....we are all here for you...just come back to us. Follow my voice into the light of the sun....and....if you find your way to me...I promise to fly you high into the clouds....I know how much you've wanted to fly....now come back to us....[/i] Sun spoke to her telepathically, quickly breaking the telepathic connection between the two of them as the strain on his mind had become too intense for him to handle. This sprites stopped flowing between their minds and they dissipated into thin air. Keeping up a telepathic link was difficult for Sun. He didn't have much experience with his telepathy and using it for short periods of time was all his mind could take before it gave out. 

Sun was breathing deeply, heaving almost. Even with two hearts pumping in his heart, using his telepathy wore out his mind and his body. He held his hand to his chest and took deep breaths, trying to get his breathing in check. As he did so, he stared into Shay's face...hoping madly that she would break from her mental captivity.
