Shalem was holding his hand so hard it looked like she might break it. Suddenly her eyes snapped open; except they had turned black and a cruel smile lit her face. Shalem's body shook like it was being tourtured and her eyes returned to normal, though still lit with inhuman pain. "Help me" she whispered

Melian rergretting terrible that he had taken her hand. "How," he shouted when she spoke.
Charley standing beside her had no idea of how to help her even if she wonted to.

"Cut?" Charley walked over to her. Her crew looked scared at Shalem.
Melian stepped away from her.
Charley only knew one verson of cut. She sat down next to ther, and took her dagger, then she made a cut in Shalems arm.

Shalem started screaming inhumanly and saltwater flowed out of the cut. Only when the water began to be tinged with red and finally blood did she collapse into a sobbing heap.

Charley looked at her in disbelive.
"Jack, carry her downstairs. Jack!" she said.
Jack stood as frosen, not hearing the order at one's.
He lifted her upp, carreing her down to her rom. He put her on her bed. Melian followed him.

Shalem sank into the bed gratefully, her eyes half closed. Within a few minits her sobs had subsided and she lay asleep.

Shalem slept on, her dreams filled with insubstantial beings that circled round her whispering in barely audibel yet threatening sighs.
A few hours later she awoke and staggered up on deck. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like someone who'd come off worse in a fight, yet without the cuts and bruises. The cut Charley had made she'd bandaged clumsily. She sat down heavily at the side of the ship and let her head fall back against the calking.

Jack saw her, and came running, then sitting down beside her, "Hey, what are you doing up? You look terrible. I figure the captain would give you the rest of the day off!"

"I need to see a shaman" she said with a small laugh, knowing that Charley would disapprove
