After letting go of Hermione, Fred stumble back a little, feeling exhausted. She looked at Hermione as the other woman started to say something and before Fred could grab her, Hermione was on the ground. "Hermione!" she cried out, kneeling beside her. She check for a pulse, relived when she found one.
Fred then turned and looked at the others. Groo was holding a boy, who was crying for his father while Angel looked dumbstruck as he looked at the boy in Groo's arms. Wesley finally ran over to them and picked Hermione up. "Angel, you're going to have to drive while I make sure she's all right," he said.
Angel nodded and took the keys. Wesley carried Wesley to his Jeep as Fred followed behind. Angel got in the front, while Groo and Connor got into the back seat. Wesley, Fred, and Hermione got into the very back as Fred held Hermione's hand.
When they got to the hotel, Wesley carried Hermione up to Fred's room and placed her on one of the beds. "Just keep an eye on her. I'll be back in a bit to check in on you two," Wesley said as he left the room.
Fred started to cry as she looked down at Hermione. She took her hand again and softly kissed it. "Please wake up," she softly said.
The first thing Hermione was aware of was what seemed to be thick white cotton all around her, almost suffocating. Her ears were ringing, but slowly that began to clear, and she became aware of someone speaking, saying something about waking up, punctuated by soft sobs. Fred...that sounded like Fred. Upon hearing her, it felt like she was beginning to claw her through the cotton, which soon turned to fog. A moment later, the fog began to clear from her vision.
She was lying on a bed - one of the ones in Fred's room at the Hyperion. And Fred was sitting next to her, crying. It took her a moment to remember what happened, but then it all came back in a rush. Casting the spell to open the portal to Quortoth. Feeling all her energy being sapped. Having Fred grab onto her. Getting her strength back to allow her to continue holding the spell. Seeing the hell creature almost attack them before Wesley shot it. Shutting the portal down when Angel and Groo returned. Then nothing.
"Fred," she croaked out, trying to sit up. When she did, though, her head began spinning, and she had to drop back against the pillow. "Is everything all right? They got Connor back, didn't they?"
