Mary slowly drinks the liquid, it's cold touch blindingly different to the burning she was experiencing before, and as it slides down her throat she can feel it begin to make everything numb again.<br/><br/>"T-thank-you" her now numb throat manages to whisper out.<br/><br/>her tears begin to stop, her mouth opens and closes but no words leave her lips, she tugs her knees up to her chest, she is trembling still,   though not as much as before, her small eyes close and ever so slowly she falls asleep.
