Kairan's Pov
I saw her sway, her eyes fluttering shut as her body gave out. Instinct kicked in, and I lunged forward just in time to catch her before she hit the ground. Her body was alarmingly cold, and the dampness of her clothes seeped through mine, sending a shiver up my spine. Her face, usually so vibrant and full of life, was now pale and ghostly, her lips tinged with blue.
Damn it, Meredia... I muttered under my breath, pulling her closer to my chest. She was barely conscious, her breathing shallow.
I needed to get her warm, fast. Scanning our surroundings, I spotted a small, abandoned cottage not far from where we stood. It would have to do.
