HEY GUYS! I WAS BEING STUPID SO I HAD TO DELETE THE STORY! IT IS NOW FIXED! THANKS!

It was to be expected, I guess. Everybody gets sick at least once in their life. I just decided to become ill today. Near the waterfall. A good three miles away from my home. At night. In the middle of WINTER.

Yeah, I just LOVE how that works.

I was trying to fish near the waterfall so I could make some stew for the upcoming festival. Unfortunately, I lost track of the time and it was well past 10:00 at night when my vision started to blur.

"Ugh, I must be tired. I guess I should head home." So I packed my things into my rucksack. I took about three steps, then my legs buckled beneath me.

"OW! What the heck?!" I tried to stand on my wobbling legs again, but to no avail.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?" A cold wind blew past me. Shivering, I looked to the sky to see several snowflakes.

"Well, that's just great. Now it's snowing! Now what do I d--" My eyes widened. Thinking back to the weather forecast, I vaguely remembered something about a blizzard headed towards Flower Bud.

I started to panic.

"HELP!! HELP, PLEASE! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?! HE--" I was cut off by a terrible coughing fit that came out of nowhere. 'What am I going to do?! Dear Goddess, please send some help!'

I looked like I was having a seizure, I was shivering so violently. It had only been thirty minutes, and I was just about frozen to the bone. The wind and snow were blowing harder than ever. My voice was cracked from yelling. And to top it all off I was losing consciousness.

"Please...some..one...help," only came out a a hoarse whisper, swept away on the fierce winds.

"...melia...melia...amelia," I opened my eyes slightly. 'Please say I'm not hearing things!'

"..Amelia...AMELIA!!"

My vision became blurry...I saw a vague image of a person running towards me...arms around me...and then everything was dark.

"...elia...melia...Amelia, are you awake?"

My eyes fluttered open, but because of the strong light, I quickly shut them again. A rather smooth hand made it's way to my forehead.

"How are you feeling?" a concerned voice asked. It sounded masculine...and familiar...

"Alex?" I croaked out. I opened my eyes to see said doctor smiling down at me. He looked slightly different, but I couldn't put my finger on what...

"The one and only. How do you feel?" he asked again, his eyes filled with worry. I tried to sit up, but deeply regretted that decision when pain filled my body.

"I have definitely been better. What happened? How did you find me?" I laid my head back down on pillow, giving Alex a questioning look.

"Well, I knew a blizzard was headed our way, so I took it upon myself to make sure everyone was safe inside their homes. The wind was blowing pretty hard when I finally made it to your place, but I got worried when you didn't answer the door."

"Yeah, it was pretty silly of me to forget about the coming weather," came my reply, my face flushing slightly.

"Well, I remembered you saying earlier in the week that you planned on fishing near the waterfall, so that's where I headed first."

Thank Goddess for his good memory.

"I thought I heard someone crying out for help, so I went in that direction. It was later when I found you nearly frozen in the snow. So I wrapped in you in my coat, picked you up, and carried you here."

My eyes widened. I felt a blush creep to my face.

"Y-you carried me all the way here?"

Alex laughed. "Well, I couldn't exactly leave you out there, could I?" He put his hand back to my forehead.

"Hmm... you're still a little feverish. This blizzard is expected to continue for a couple of days, but Bob volunteered to take care of your animals, so there is no need to worry," he said as he tucked in my blankets, "You still need some sleep. I'll be right down the hall, so just call me if you need anything." I just nodded, still blushing. He smiled at me, turned off the light, and walked out the door.

It was then that I realized I was still wearing his coat.
