Lily woke up when she was lifted off the floor, but it felt as if she were surrounded by a thick fog.
“Lily? We’re going to get you to the pack hospital. Just stay with me,” she heard someone saying, but the words sounded muffled and as though they came from far away.
Her body felt too heavy to move, and her arms and legs were tingling strangely, probably from blood loss, she realized dazedly. The fact should have terrified her, but she couldn’t find the will to be anything but numb.
“Please just stay with us, Lily,” she heard Matt plead with her.
He stroked her hair comfortingly, and even through the fog, Lily could feel the comforting gesture. She tried to open her eyes, wanting to see him, but she was just so tired.
Lily couldn’t fight it anymore. She fell back into the darkness.
