Benedict had been injured. She wasn't sure how. She hadn't been there when it had happened. She could just see the agony on his face and in his voice. Where was the rest of his family? His friends? Anyone?



For a moment, she froze. Her eyes wide. Her heart beating. It wasn't that she hadn't ever seen someone injured before. She could never get the image of Anthony bringing back Kate after she'd been injured while horseback riding out of her head. How could she? The guilt, agony, devastation and disappointment in herself after it had happened — the repeat of feelings now was almost entirely why she found herself frozen now. She had been lucky having Kate recover after such an incident. Maybe she wouldn't be so lucky this time, especially as she now for the briefest of moments, thought of her father.



When the moment finally hit her, almost all at once, sounds hitting her ears almost louder than they should, her limbs feeling heavier than ever, she ran to his side. Her vision was still blurred, though and her heart still continued to beat nearly out of her chest. She didn't know how much help she'd really be, but it seemed as though she was all they had.



"Wh- what happened, Benedict?" was all she could muster as she hovered over him, not wanting to touch him in case it hurt more.
