When she woke, her head and body felt as if they had been crushed. She was covered in scrapes and bruises, and she hurt everywhere.

She groaned as she got to her knees, shivering with cold. All around the muddy bank she’d been lying on, trees were flattened. Using a boulder next to her, she picked herself out of the squelching mud and got to her feet slowly, wincing at a pain in her arm, but nothing seemed broken.

She climbed the great rock to try and get her bearings, but wherever she was, it was unfamiliar … although she should be used to that by now, she thought wryly. The horses were nowhere to be seen. None of the men either.

She picked her way through the mud towards the trees that hadn't been touched by the flood and climbed another large rock, turning slowly, looking at everything she could see, trying to find something that might help her.

She spied black cloth peeking out from a pile of branches and jumped from the boulder, running towards it, and realizing quickly that it was Thorne.

As she got closer, she saw that his eyes were open and vacant. His neck lay at an odd angle. She covered her mouth with her hand. Sudden grief took her by surprise. She hadn’t known this man and what she had known, she hadn’t liked but she felt as if her heart was being ripped from her body.

Falling to her knees beside him, she cleared the dirt from his cheeks using her wet sleeve and moved the hair from his face. She closed her eyes and put her face on his chest, letting out a sob.

Grasping his cold hand, her body shook with sadness. Her woe was all-encompassing, so acute that she felt as if she was going to die herself. Something shifted under her, and she wondered if another quake was starting. Should she try and drag him away from the river before another flood carried him away? The others would want to see their friend, perform the last rites.

His body jerked under her, and she startled, moving back in surprise. She watched as his head righted itself and heard a crack, his neck snapping back into place. She gasped as his chest rose and he coughed, rolling to the side and retching water.

Awe and relief warred within her. She put her hand on his arm. He turned with a snarl, practically throwing her off him. Unable to resist the urge to touch him, she ignored his outburst and hugged him to her.

‘I thought you were dead,’ she whispered.

He pushed her away with a sound of disgust. ‘What are you babbling out about, you foolish female.’

Tears came to her eyes. ‘You were dead,’ she said.

He rolled the eyes that a few moments ago had been so devoid of life as he got to his feet, pushing her out of his way.

‘No more games,’ he said, punctuating each word with a jab of his finger towards her face.

At her blank expression, he cursed loudly and grabbed her by her tunic, pulling her off her feet.
