Ingrid woke up feeling worse than she did last night, she could feel every pot hole her horse went over, her body ached and her head felt like it was about to burst. She was hot and clammy but looked pale to the touch with blue lips, everyone was aware of how she looked and everyone was worried.
Leo had disobeyed Ingrid's orders and stayed close to her side, looking up at her every so often when she would wheeze or cough.
Uhtred kept glancing over at her with a deep frown and she could only imagine what Finan was looking like behind her. Chewing his nails, begging to check her temperature but they wordlessly pushed on, Osferth kept wanting to stop but Shitric just shushed him.
Skade was at the back of the line but her head kept poking up around the men in front of her as she tried to get a glimpse of Ingrid. Skade had nothing to do with her illness and that made her even more nervous as she could not control what was happening to Ingrid.
Ingrid leaned over to the side of her horse and she didn't even bother covering her mouth and belched out blood.
"That's it we're stoppin'," Finan said and Uhtred couldn't agree more.
"No, I'm fine it's just a," she trailed off before her eyes grew heavy and she suddenly felt of balance. Ingrid tipped to the side and fell with a loud smack against the grass, Leo ran over from the other side of the horse and made a loud mewling noise.
"Ingrid!"
"Lady!"
Uhtred halted the line as he lifted her head from the floor, Finan and Shitric were quick to follow whilst Osferth stood rubbing Leo's back comfortingly.
"It's the witch," Uhtred gritted out but Ingrid showed her head with the strength she had left, "no- it's something else."
Skade urged her horse closer and looked down at Ingrid who had her eyes shut, she chewed on the inside of her mouth in slight panic. She felt herself wanting to hold her but refrained, the men surrounding her would probably have her head- regardless of the curse that she needed to renounce.
Finan looked up to see Skade hovering over and glared dangerously at her, he didn't like her one bit and his hands were itching to take his sword.
