Westley comes to, hearing Lael's voice. He looks up at her and, instead of Lael, he sees another female's face. He gasps before pulling back a bit.
"I didn't try to hurt you," he says, thinking that it is a girl from his past, "You cornered me. Tell your father not to come after me. It was an accident, I swear."

Lael blinks, confused. "I'm not going to hurt you," she tells him, in the most soothing voice she can manage. Is he hallucinating? she thinks. Or perhaps he hit his head. "Darian! Nathan!" she calls. "I need your help. We have to move him. But we have to be careful. I think he might have hit his head when he fell."

He shakes his head, "No, you didn't hurt me. You'd never hurt me on purpose though you cornered me. You wouldn't know, though, even though we knew each other for months. I never told you about.... me..."
After a second, he holds a hand up to keep her away from himself, turning his face away.
"I did not hit my head...." he says, tears coming to his eyes.

"No one's going to hurt you. You're safe here. Now let's get you moved so that I can take a proper look at you. You had quite a fall," Lael says, still trying to talk in a soothing voice. I'm not sure what's wrong, but he definitely thinks I'm someone else, she thinks.

Darian and Nathan arrive. "What happened?" Darian asks.
"He fell, obviously."
"I figured that much out. I was asking what happened to make him fall."
"Well, why didn't you say so? That is the big mystery though." Nathan says, only half concentrating on the world around him. His mind's so clouded. It's almost as if he's here, and at the same.....Memories of pain and suffering rush through the half demon's mind. They are not his own memories, they are Westley's.

"I think he may be hallucinating," Lael says. "He says he didn't hit his head, but you never really know. Can you two help me move him so I can properly examin him?"

"Don't touch me, please," he says in a pleading voice, "Your father has done enough damage to me. You shouldn't be here, Sam. You're not here, but why are you here?"
The teen starts to breathe heavily, realizing that the girl shouldn't even be in the same room with him.
"Don't touch me! You're dead!" he screams, stumbling to his feet, "You cornered me and I couldn't get around you so I had to hurt you. I ran away and your father screamed at me, shooting me with flaming arrows. You're dead!"
He tries to escape up the stairs, his vision blurred by his tears. A few times, he slips but he catches himself before hitting anything essential. He continues up the stairs, trying to get away from the girl who he thinks is Sam.
((OOC: xp I can be a squirt, but I like Westley.))

Nathan finally returns to the real world. "He's had a rough life. He's probably imagining Lael as someone from his past." the half demon says, his breath heaving in his chest. "And I think I know who. Perhaps it would be best if I talk to him alone." If he really think Lael's her then this'll take some major convincing.
"How can you know who?" Darian asks.
"While I was in his mind trying to find out what was wrong with him a lot of his memories got transfered to me. I didn't want that to happen, but on the bright side I can tell my memories apart from his, despite all the similarities."

"But... But what if he's sick? We can't just leave him there. It worries me that he collapsed like that. And didn't you see him? He could barely walk. There are some illnesses with similar symptoms..." She frowns, worried. "I don't want to just leave him up there alone if I don't know he's not going to hurt himself or something. He seemed very upset. And if he's sick and hallucinating, who knows what he'll do."

"But it's you he's imagining as someone else." Nathan says, trying his best to remain calm. "I've gone through something like this myself. Sometimes when one's past is too horrible for most to imagine one will relive it, usually unintentionally, as the memories start to overwhelm them. What he needs is someone who's been through this to help him through it, otherwise, he's not only a threat to himself but to everyone around him."
"He's telling us to stay here for our own safety." Darian finishes, understanding what Nathan's getting at. "You because of the hallucinations and me because I'd probably do the exact opposite of what would help."

Westley manages to get up the stairs, his mind wheeling from what he believes to be Sam's appearance here at the resort.
'How could she be alive?' he wonders to himself, leaning against the wall halfway to his room, 'My claws went right through her.'
He shudders at the thought, tears coming even more to him and his claws extending themselves from his hands/paws.
'And I was even ready to tell her about myself, my true nature as a cougar. I was ready to give all for her but she had to corner me, scaring my animalistic self. ...and then look what happened.'
A burning feeling is felt by him from his back, the scars from the flaming arrows reminding him what had happened. Once again, the pain overcomes him and he sinks to the floor.

((OOC: It's going to come out eventually but, with Nathan being psychic.
Sam was a good friend of Westley's. He was in the village for about 2 yrs. without anyone learning about him being a mutant. One day, they were chatting alone and she, somehow, cornered him. From there, he freaked out and tried to get away from her. She wouldn't let him alone and his claws extend as he tried to push her away, thus impaling her. Her father, finding that she was dead, swore to get his revenge. He, and the other villagers, went and shot at him with flaming arrows. Then, after he was caught, they tortured and even branded him. After that, he was able to get away, only to have that village and others trying to kill him as they think he's a demon or something evil.
....memories of Sam keep coming up every so often, some worse than others.... Nathan's right, as we all know. So, yeh, what's up with the situation, fyi.))

Lael frowns. "It goes against all my teachings as a doctor but... But you're right." She turns to Nathan. "If you can calm him, make him sure that I am not this "Sam", then let me come up so I can do a proper examination. If he's sick I have some medicins with me. If I don't have what he needs I can do what I can and make sure he get's proper care after we're out. Try to get him to lay down. He shouldn't be up and about. It'll only make things worse."

"Right," Nathan says nodding. He heads up the stairs and finds Westley on the ground, his claws extended. The half demon kneels down near him. "The girl you're seeing, that's not actually Sam. You know it can't be. I've been through this, seeing people I've hurt but didn't want to. You've had a rough life, hellish describes it more acurately, but you can't let your past control you. Your experiances have made you who you are but now, it's time to let go. Clinging to the past won't do you any good. Not if you live in constant fear of having what happened to Sam happening again." He places his hand on the mutant's shoulder. "Let go Westley, let go."

Westley shook his head, "I know that can't be Sam. She's gone already."
He pauses before saying, "It's just so hard to be myself anymore, what with being a mutant and all. I didn't want to hurt her but I couldn't stop myself..."
He covers up his face, ashamed about his life.
"I want the past to end, to get over it, but it's hard."
