into the wrong characters he'll set it straight."
                  Shoving him away, Nicole ran down the grassy slope to the center of the glen screaming with rage. She couldn't stop; it was as if Nicole was watching herself from afar, unable to react, unable to control what was happening . Nicole fell down on the grass, kicking and screeching in horror feeling as if every fiber of her intellect was fighting desperately to survive.
                  "How do we stop this?" Hopper asked running after Jack and Sarah as they rushed to Nicole's side.
                  "I don't know! I've never seen her like this." Jack shouted over Nicole's screams,
    looking to Sarah for advice.
                  "Dr. Strong!" Sarah screamed toward the sky. "Stop the session!"
                  There was no reply, no change in their surroundings, only the sound of Nicole's terror. Jack knelt in the grass beside Nicole and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Nicole, stop it!  You’re going to hurt yourself!" Jack pleaded.
                  Nicole shoved him from her, rose and screamed in horror as the emerald glow from her eyes spread outward and enveloped her completely. All at once she stopped suddenly, turned to stare at Jack for one brief moment before collapsing, unconscious on to the grass.
                  "I think she had a nervous breakdown." Hopper's deep voice said quietly as the
    three of them stood staring down at Nicole.
                  "Why didn't Dr. Strong bring her out of it?" Sarah asked kneeling down to check
    Nicole's vitals . "He said he would bring us back if anything went wrong. She's still breathing, but her heart is racing."
                  "Maybe this is an expected reaction." Jack offered. "Some people react badly to drugs.  Maybe that sedative didn't sit right and gave her some kind of a bad trip."
                  "Or maybe she just reacts badly to hypnotism and Dr. Strong had to let her ride out the storm." Hopper added.
                  "That's absurd." Sarah answered, annoyed at their ri diculous explanations. "Dr. Strong's a professional. He said it was mild."
                  "We're only trying to help.”  Hopper said reaching out to touch Sarah's hand then pulling it back quickly remembering his sharp claws.
                  " l'm sorry, I guess we're all a little upset. " Sarah smiled up at them as she grasped Hopper's clawed hand and squeezed it gently.
                  "Okay then, let's get her out of the sun," Jack said as he scoop ed up Nicole with surprising ease and carried her into the shadows at the edge of the clearing. He lowered her gently onto the flower speckled grass then turned to Hopper, "See if you can find a village or cottage nearby . She could use some water . . . or whiskey, I'm not sure which."
                  Nodding Hopper trotted off into the woods. Nicole stirred and opened her eyes just as he disappeared into the trees. The dark glow had vanished leaving her with eyes the same deep emerald color of the grass and brush around them.
                  "Nicole?" Jack whispered leaning forward.
                  "What happened?" Nicole sat up and rubbed at the ache in her temples.
    -            "You . . . were hysterical." Jack searched for the right term, "Then you passed out.  Are
    you all right?"
                  "A little tired, but otherwise I'm fine. " Nicole sighed feeling as if the weight of the world had somehow lifted itself from her shoulders . Her carefree smile returned as she found great amusement in the two concerned faces that stared at her. "Where's Hoppy monster?"
                  "Todd went to find you something to drink." Sarah frowned at Nicole. "Are you sure you're all right? You're acting strange . Do you feel lightheaded, dizzy or
