My eyes opened a smidgen, and as I groaned, I lurched forwards and coughed out some blood. Maura almost launched me off of the hill.
"You scared me!" She shouted. I was still too weak to talk. She let me lay back down. I looked across at Ciel, and Lucy told me he would be okay. My head rotated back to looking up, just staring at the blackened sky. I ended up falling asleep again.

"She has to be in here." I said quietly.
