Consciousness came and went as the flurry of activity happened around her. The fae could hear voices, small snippets of a familiar male alongside the comforting voice of her golden prince. She tried to put a face to the words, wondering where she had met the male who seemed so worried. Had she slept with him? No. Was he her drinking partner? No, not that. No image entered her mind, not even when the panic managed to cease on some level. It didn't really matter. Help was help, and it was one more set of hands bringing her closer to seeing her twin.
Crimson gaze blurred, she tried to discern motion from beyond the tree. Black paws, gold paws, orders. Something about rocks and wood and reassuring words from the familiar stranger. All she wanted was her brother, but it was good to know someone else cared. And then she was alone again, and the panic returned. Had they left her behind? Did they give up on her? Her hand grasped for the ground again, searching for something warm. Something she knew. Ezekiel, don't leave me here. Breath quickened, heart raced. And it was dark once more, even if it was only a brief moment.
He had returned, back to offer her comfort by presence, as their father had done many a time. She wondered, silent, what would happen next. Everything hurt, from her legs to her chest to her head. She wanted to move, get away from the forest and to her cave, but as Ezekiel took her hand, he delivered a set of orders that she knew she had to follow. Don't move, he'd have to set something if it was broken. Even in her youth, she hadn't experienced broken limbs or scarring; it seemed like that was soon to change. Lacking extra strength in her cold hands, she gave his fingers a squeeze, trying to show she had been listening while she waited for her rescue.
