My Own True Love
“The girl came running out of the dark as Sara rolled Lewis gently onto his back. She could hear screams and sounds of fighting in the distance but it had a faded, far-off quality as she glanced quickly up at Beth.
Beth's hand touched her shoulder. "Is 'e dead?" "I don't know." She felt blood, hot and sticky, on her hands as she ran them down Lewis's chest.
"What are you doing here?" she heard herself ask. A part of her was worried about the girl's safety even while most of her attention was taken up in trying to find out if the man she loved was still alive.
The girl crouched down beside her as Lewis's eyes opened. His hand came up to capture Sara's wrist in a tight grip. He moaned.
Sara let out her breath in a sob. "You're alive." She didn't know how badly hurt he was, but at least he wasn't dead. "We need a doctor." The girl beside her gave a cynical laugh. It was enough to remind Sara of who and when they were. "Beng, then." Sara spoke quickly. "I've seen him treat people as well a...s horses." Okay, so she'd only seen him set a broken arm and pull a couple of teeth, but Beng was all they had.MoreLess
