"Rrrr..." she slurred. She pushed herself up so that she balanced on her knees and her hands, and she turned her head away so that she could vomit again, hopefully not all over Orc. She shivered, and sobbed again.

"Rrrr... bit... me... dying..." It was taking so long to say the words, so long to search through the mush that her brain was becoming so that she could understand what Orc was asking and reply to him.

"Ple...ase... do.... no... leave me." She reached out to touch Orc with her clammy hand. She felt so, so cold, and he radiated heat... smelled so delicious.
