Daisy slowly opened her eyes and tried to move. She was hurting all over and it took a few minutes for her to remember what had happened. She looked up and saw that Gaddy was watching her with so much pain, sorrow, and concern in his eyes.
“Gaddy” she whispered. “Who else is hurt and am I going to be okay?” she continued. Gaddy moved over a little and Daisy saw that Hal was also hurt, as well as Robin. Daisy started to cry and reached for Gaddy to hold him for her comfort as well as his. He really looked like he needed it more than she did.
Daisy tried to close her eyes to go to sleep but the images of the wargs come after them kept creeping into her mind and would not let her forget. Suddenly she remembered that she and the others may have been injured but Celandine had been brutally killed by the wargs. The thought brought tears to her eyes again.
Slowly the pain started to make Daisy weary. She closed her eyes to get some rest because she had overheard some talk about getting back on the road in the morning and she wanted to be well rested for it would be a long day.
