Fear

Lifen grabbed the young woman's hand and half-dragged her, in her panic, to the hut where her mother was staying. Lien's servants had already begun lifting her, so as to hopefully open her lungs and let oxygen flow freely. However, it didn't seem to be doing much good for the poor woman. Her face was already beginning to turn blue from lack of oxygen and blood trickled down her chin. The sight of her mother in this condition stopped Lifen dead in her tracks. Her heart sank and it felt as if she had taken a blow to the stomach. She couldn't breathe. She stood in the doorway, simply because her legs refused to move.
