“ Peony, listen to me. I need you to sit up. Can you do that?”
“ Mom?” Peony whispered, spittle collecting at the corner of her lips.
“ She’s at home. She doesn’t know-” That you’re dying. But, of course, Adri did know. The comm would have gone to her too.
Pulse racing, Cinder bent over Peony and slid her arm beneath her shoulder. “ Come on, I’ll help you.”
Peony’s expression didn’t change - the blank, corpse stare - but she did let out a pained groan when Cinder lifted her up.
“ I’m sorry,” she said, “but I need you to drink this.”
Another ping, another message from Adri. This time, irritation welled up in Cinder and she shut off her netlink, blocking any more incoming messages.
“ It’s from the palace. It might help. Do you understand?” She kept her voice low, worried that the other patients might hear, might riot against her. But Peony’s gaze remained empty. “ A cure, Peony,” she hissed against her ear. “An antidote.”
Peony said nothing, head drooped against Cinder’s shoulder.
“ Peony...? Did you hear me?” Cinder pulled Peony fully against her and uncorked the vial. “ You have to drink this.” She held the vial to Peony’s lips, but Peony didn’t move. She didn’t flinch.
Hand trembling, she coaxed Peony’s head back. Her papery lips fell open.
Cinder forced her hand to still as she lifted the vial, afraid to spill a single drop. She tilted the glass slowly upward to let the liquid go down into Peony’s mouth.
“ Please, Peony...” Cinder whispered as she watched Peony’s throat slowly swallow the antidote.
“ How long will this take?” Were the only words that ran through Cinder’s head.
The blue-black tips and the yellow-ish tinge in Peony’s finger nails started to fade away.
Cinder breathed a sigh of relief. But, Peony’s eyes still wouldn’t open.
“ At least she’s safe.” Cinder thought to herself.
