Collette blinked the blood out of her eyes.His blood or hers? she wondered, but her trembling hands that tempered in effort to confort her wounds told her it was her own. Her vision blurred and blackened as she drew a breath with difficulty. Her vision wavered in and out the picture of Aranel, tear stained, bent over her body.
"Go to the ents, Go to the ents" She muttered dazedly.
"We are going to fix this up first Collette" Aranel said, seeing the large wound horizontally seered across her entire collarbone. Her back, already whipped, was none but skinless meat now, as she lay in this puddle of her own blood, Shade's blood mixing, his body not far.
She ignored Aranel. "I finished him! I got him!" she said with a maniacle smile on her face. She took another shuddering breath.
"Go find Faye and go to the Ents. Leave me here so all will know by my carcass that a halfling slew the traitor!" she pleaded, and went unconcious.
