Gareth paled even more as he saw the blood.

Seeming to be unaware of the small rivulet of blood that flowed from her lips, Calista turned away again as she started to cough.

Calista just continued to cough as Gareth held her tighter, her skin starting to turn a greenish hue as her illness progressed.

Gareth paled. He needed to save her, to heal her. But he didn't want to leave her.

Calista just moaned softly, the walls of her chest beginning to hurt from all of her coughing.

Calista gave Gareth a wan smile as she drew in a ragged breath. "T-thank y-you..." she murmured as more blood started to drip from her nose.

Calista sighed softly. Gareth was still blurry and the light coming from the window was only making her headache worse. And yet she hated the darkness, feeling that if she were shut up in the dark, she would be trapped with Julius again.

Calista gave Gareth a wan smile, touched by his gesture. "You're so...t-thoughtful. T-thank you..." she murmured weakly as she coughed again and more blood slowly trickled from her mouth.

Calista gave Gareth a wan smile and drew in a weak and unsteady breath. "J-just do...what you think...must be done..." she murmured as she coughed again before she groaned, her body steadily weakening from both the illness and blood loss.

Calista gave Gareth a sympathetic look at his words and reached out and gave his hand a gentle squeeze with her clean hand, her grip weak. "I-I'm...sorry...for what happened...to Catalina..." she whispered.
