Taking his jacket, Mel slipped it round her.  She wasnt able to get it on totally, but it did offer her some protection against the wet and cold.  She smiled weakly, so tired and wanting to sleep.<br/><br/>She winced as he began to feel around her ankle, the slightest touch sent a ripple of pain through her and she whimpered softly.  When he told her what he wanted to do she looked at him with wide eyes, but she knew it was the only way.  She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when he counted she was prepared.  or so she thought.  Nothing could prepare her for the pain she felt as he hammered into the rock.  Her ankle felt as if it was exploding and she screamed loudly.  She sobbed and screamed, but she knew there was no other way.<br/><br/>He did it again and the pain was white hot, raw agony and Mel wept hard.  She had never felt pain like it, never experienced anything that made her feel so awful.  She was drained when he stopped, drained, exhausted and shivering uncontrolably.  He quickly had the ankle wrapped.  It hurt so much and she whimpered as he prepared the ropes to pull her out.  "Tha...thank you" she whispered, closing her eyes, she was soo tired.<br/>
