Stella was still and silent, having swallowed plenty of water. She could feel herself being lifted from the water and a soft fabric rubbing against her skin.<span style="font-style: italic">"Stella. Honey. You need to wake up for me dear," her mothers sweet voice whispered as she felt her mother's soft hand brush across her cheek.</span>Suddenly, she was shoved back into conciousness and quickly sat up. Falling out of her bed, she coughed up the water that had filled her lungs. Gasping heavily as she felt her strength retreating, she fell back to lean against the frame of the bed. Holding the blanket to her body tightly, she quickly looked around.<br/><br/>Seeing Claude watching her, she blushed a crimson color both from being embarrassed and being only in a blanket. "C-Claude.. I-Im sorry.. I was just closing my eyes for a second.. I-I dont know what happened.." she stammered quickly and quietly. Using the bedframe to help her up, her legs could barely hold her up as she leaned heavily on the bed post. The lack of oxegyn had left her body weak and drained.
