Herja gasped as she bolted upright from her nightmare. Sucking in air through her teeth, she gingerly touched her horse bitten shoulder. It was crusted over with blood, and swelling, puffing up. She knew it was going to need stitches, but she wasn't going to be able to reach her own shoulder to sew it. She didn't know the place she was at, nor the village nearby, so resting was all she could do until the morning. Gritting her teeth, she laid back down to try and get some more sleep, fluffing the straw up before laying her head on a horse blanket.
