A brilliant light took Tom by surprised, sending him reeling back trying to shield his face.
"Take that!" a cruel and delighted female voice shouted as Tom fell to one knee, stomach starting to ache. "And you!" she added, before pointing at Matt and filling his vision with the same light as Tom, causing him to fall over on the bed in obvious discomfort.
Both groaned and looked up as their vision cleared and the vague shape of a woman came into focus. Tom tried to see if he knew her but then a sharp pain followed by a bit of nausea had him bent over trying to gather himself.
"Wh-wh-what's going on?" Matt managed with some effort as the same feelings that Tom was experiencing were coming over him too.
"I don't know," Tom groaned while trying to get to his feet. He blinked away the last of the haze and looked up, recognizing the woman more easily now than before.
"You? Why?" Tom asked as his head, just like Matt's was starting to spin.
