Anne hardly, slowly lift her head and hand, put her fingers around the goblets while letting her sister hold it, feeling to be too weak for hold it properly, then she drink slow and careful sips of water, feeling slighty relieved, the freshness of it and the cloth appeasing the fire in her head. Looking in Sybille's eyes, she whisper her.
I fear to lost consciousness, Sybille. To fall asleep in darkness and can't awake again.

Her face white wax coloured showing a little sad air, fear in her eyes, she feel a bit appeased by Sybille's voice and reassuring words, while still having a deep apprehension in her .
I don't know, Sybille, I don't know. Does the physician coming ? ...
Feeling a immense tiredness winning over her body, irresistibly falling in darkness she close her eyes her breath more deep and slow, drops of her sweat flowing along her forehead and body, the sheet getting wet as the fever get higher, her cheeks reddening.

Anne hardly heard her sister's words as she fall in darkness, like taken in a sound sleep without really being asleep, the only things of which she remain conscious is the hotter of the intense fever that win over her strenghts as she get in delirium. Her reddened eyes half-opening, her lips opening too as for tell something but only a weak and low moan is heard, she tremble slighty and shake her head, sweating more and more, then she close again her eyes. Someone knock to the door and the physician is announced.

The physician enter the room and look at Anne and sat on the edge of her bed and sigh in seeing her state, he have see so many people in this state these last days and some of them have death shortly afterward, this virulent kind of flu letting him powerless, then he turn to Sybille.
I will not lie to you, her state is grave, she is in delirium and without touching her, I can tell that her fever is very high and that she is very weak. I fear to can't do more than recommand you to give her her medicines regulary if she is state for drink it, to make her drink very much for refrain deshydratration, to cover her the less possible, no more than a shift or a thin nightgown, maybe a sheet on the foots, no more, and some humid clothes on her forehead and on her chest and stomach can releave her a bit.
He sigh.
It's a epidemy, mylady, of a very virulent kind of flu, many people are infected in the village and in the whole region, I see people in her state all the day long since it have began and alas some of them have pass away, especially the most fragiles ones.
He glance at Anne, feeling bad at the idea she could die, but don't knowing what to do of more, then he reflect and add, thinking to this strange lady he heard about very much from the villagers.
There is a woman who live near to the village ... a kind of traditional medicine woman, many villagers have talk to me about her ... I must tell that myself I am spectical about all these traditional medicine people and their supersitions, but I heard that this one use some mixture of herbs for cure people and it's seem that some some people who was infected have cure after having visit her and seen your sister's state ... you know.

Anne remain in inconsciousness while the hours that follow the physician's departure, her eyes remaining closed, her body immovable, her forehead sweating, the red of her cheek being the only colour that remain on her face white like moonlight. Then, in late afternoon, a servent open the door an announce, lady Alderman who enter the room fastly, carrying a bag, dressed in a cream and back damask dress, her long copper coloured hairs cascading freely until her tights level, she courtsey to Sybille.
Hello, mylady, you have summon me for your sister, Anne, so here I am here.
She turn to look at the ill girl leaning in the big richely ornated bed, hardly recognizing the one she have cross in the woods, a seriously concerned air on her face, she can see immediatly that she is really in very bad state, feeling bad for her, especially since she have get a like in this girl even if don't really knowing her, she sigh.

Hildegarde look at Sybille, can see how worried she look, which isn't surprising seen her sister's grave state, moved by her words, conscious of the importance of the mission she is given and she tell her.
I think I can help her, yes and I will do all that is in my power for rescue her. I don't ask much things, just to be put up, hosted in a room close to hers and the material I can need for cure her. I have for principles to don't be paid, aside for the herbs I have to use but generally I work on swap, people give me what they can, some food or goods. Anyway, I am going to examinate her.
Hildegard put her back on the floor and walk to the bed, sat on it's edge, observe Anne's face, take her pulse that she feel weak, put her hand on her forehead that nearly burn her pale, she lift delicately her eyelids with her fingers,then she turn to Sybille.
Her state is due due to the very high fever she have got, my priority is to make it fall, hoping that it's would make her regain her consciousness, so I will be able to give her some medicines, I need a bath to be prepared in her room, with tepid water in it, not hot, tepid, also a clothe for dry her afterward and a clean shift. And I think her sheets should be changed.

Hildegard nodd.
Good, I also need some help for carry her into the bath, the maids should change the sheets while she will be in the bath, I will need to let her in it a long time for it can be efficient, afterward, I will again need help for carry her back to her bed.
She open her bag and take out some little bags full of herbs with the names on it and she dispose it carefully on the table and she add.
I also need someone for prepare the influsions for the medicines I will give to your sister ... if she regain her consciousness ... I have precises instructions to give to this person for the preparation of it, that I will write on a paper. If possible, I want always the same person for prepare it, a reliable person, for don't having to repeat the instructions at each time or risks to obtain medicines that not being prepared like it should be, wouldn't be efficient or even make more bad than good to your sister.
