I'm Dreaming of a Frozen Witch Part 4
"Aunt Hilda?" Sabrina cried as soon as Hilda picked up the phone.
"Sabrina, what's going on? Where's Zelda?" Hilda asked. She didn't like the paniced tone in her niece's voice.
"Aunt Hilda, you need to come to the school now! Aunt Zelda's hurt. She fell and she's been laying outside in a snowdrift for who knows how long." Sabrina said as she watched Mr. Kraft holding her aunt and rocking her in his arms. The look in Zelda's eyes really frightened her.
"What? I'll be right there!" Hilda cried as she hung up the phone and headed towards the door. She would have to take the car or else the mortals would get suspicious. "Salem, entertain Zelda's friends!"
"Mr. Kraft, is she alright?" Sabrina asked just as the school nurse came hurrying followed by Valerie.
"What happened here?" the nurse asked as she hurried over to Zelda and started to examine her.
"She fell on some ice and wound up in a snowdrift," Willard said as the nurse knelt by the couch and slipped a hand under the blankets to feel Zelda's pulse. "We don't know how long she might have been out there."
"Is she going to be okay?" Sabrina whispered as the nurse got her thermometer and carefully inserted it into Zelda's ear.
"It looks like she's lucky," the nurse said with a smile a few moments later when she checked the reading on the thermometer. "Her temperature is only 93 so she shouldn't need to go to the hospital. She does need to get out of those wet clothes though."
"I think the girls' gym teacher might have something that we could get her into," Willard said.
"I'll go and ask her," Valerie said as she hobbled off as Harvey and Ms. Quick came in. The news about some sort of problem in the teachers' lounge was all over the school and they wanted to know what was going on.
"Mr. Kraft, what happened?" Ms. Quick asked as she stared at Zelda and wondered if she should run back to her class to get the first aid kit that she always carried.
"She fell on the sidewalk," Willard muttered as he gently rocked Zelda. "Mr. Kinkle, go to the cafeteria and get some hot chocolate. Maybe that will help her."
"We have hot chocolate?" Harvey asked. He had certainly never had any in the cafeteria.
"It's for emergency purposes only. Now get going!" Willard said as Valerie came in with some clothes in her arms. Willard laid Zelda down on the couch and headed for the door as Sabrina started to undress her aunt with help from the other three women. He just hoped that they would hurry. He didn't want to be away from Zelda for any longer than necessary.
