KAZ NEEDED TO see Vera. Not wanted, no, he needed to lay his eyes on her and see that she was fine. It was mandatory for him to calm himself. If he had lost her, he didn't know what he'd do.
The battle was finished. The Fold was torn down. Now, all the group left at the Palace had to do was wait for those who had entered to come out.
There was a bad feeling in his gut, but Kaz couldn't take his eyes off of the area that his friends should've been walking down from. It had been at least ten minutes, and yet there wasn't a sign of anyone. He was worried—Extremely so.
Coming down the small grassy hill, next to the bodies that were laid out on the ground, were Mal, Alina, Inej, and Nina. The four were all struggling to carry a person, but he couldn't tell who it was. "Healer!" Alina's voice called out. A few Grisha in red coats began to rush over to the sun summoner.
Jesper moved to Kaz's side, his shadow covering the latter. "Is that Vera?" Jesper's words made his blood run cold.
Kaz tried to get a closer look, but the bright blonde hair dangling from the body was all he needed to see. The two wasted no time in rushing over to the three, seeing that it was in fact Vera being held by the three. "What's wrong?" Kaz questioned quickly.
"She passed out in the Fold," Alina was the one to answer. Her face worried as the Healers took the girl into their arms.
Nina added, "And won't wake up." She placed her hands on her hips, watching the girl's unconscious face with concern.
"How long ago?" Jesper inquired, copying Nina's stance as he peered down at the girl who was being moved closer to the wall.
"Ten minutes."
"We'll need some space." One of the Healers informed.
"Find a room," Nikolai was suddenly behind Kaz, giving an approving nod, "let us know when you're done." The Healers nodded before scurrying off, Vera's unconscious body in their hold.
As she left his view, Kaz could only hope that she would be okay. He could do nothing now.

To busy his mind, Kaz was looking for anyone to distract him. He found Nina first, standing by a few horses, feeding one of them an apple. When she noticed him she simply looked back to the horse. Kaz started, "You might be a saint, now. Bringing someone back from the dead."
