Serafina did lose consciousness... immediately. I managed to suck in a gasp of air and looked at my mother. Was this witchcraft?
We hoisted her up and carried her into our chambers. I was still aching with pain, so my mother linked the medical staff to join us immediately and I swear they appeared within seconds.
I had never seen Serafina ill, hurt, or anything - other than drunk - outside her normal state. So seeing her lay unconscious in our bed and feeling the intense pangs of pain that were currently coursing through her tenfold, was a life-altering experience for me.
She was whisked away to the hospital wing, with me wrapped around her on the stretcher. They were hoping our bond could bring her comfort, and they needed to monitor me as well, since I was feeling the side effects.
