When Corvine carried Seraphine out of the building, he was already heading toward the nearest vehicle because she had been completely unconscious when he lifted her into his arms, and he had no idea how badly she might have been hurt.
Just as he reached the car and was about to place her inside, Seraphine suddenly jerked awake in his arms, her body going tense immediately as confusion filled her face.
For a second, her breathing became uneven because the last thing she remembered was Santiago standing over her, and she almost expected to open her eyes and see him again.
Instead, she was surrounded by Corvine's familiar warmth, the distant sound of sirens, and the cold night air brushing against her skin.
"What's happening?" she asked while looking around in confusion.
Corvine adjusted his hold on her before answering carefully because he did not want to overwhelm her too quickly.
"You were unconscious when we found you," he explained. "I'm taking you to the hospital."
