The woman dropped to the floor and Anaea kicked the sword across the room.

She's dead.

It was the voice in her head, the one that hadn't wanted her to give up the medallion. Without the panic of a fight, she had the time to concentrate on it. It was within her, but not a part of her, and with a pitch closer to tenor it was definitely male.

She shivered and hugged herself, but the shakes continued.

Take her coat.

Anaea's gaze went to the woman of its own volition. No, not its own control, the voice's. She squeezed her eyes shut, shaking so hard her teeth chattered.

You're in shock

"Yeah, I'm hearing voices." She pressed her palms to her ears but knew that wouldn't keep him out, since he was inside to begin with.

Anaea, you're still in danger. Get her coat and put it on.

Her arms reached out and she yanked them back. "Stop that."

Then you do it.

"Get out first."

The voice--he--hesitated. She sensed he was deciding what to tell her but she couldn't determine what options he was considering. It was a strange sensation, similar to the frustration of knowing you know something but being unable to bring it to mind.

I'm here to help you.

She snorted. "I don't even know you. For all I know you're just some hallucination and I can add paranoid schizophrenia to my list of problems."

I would beg to differ. You know for certain someone's trying to kill you so you can rule out paranoia.
