My head felt light as the rain began pouring down, my hair slick against my forehead. "S-Sam…" I mumbled, my lips numb. How cold was it out here? How much longer…
I saw a figure ahead of me, standing next to a light lamppost. "E-Excuse… me.." I mumbled, picking up my stumbly pace towards the silhouette.
Right as I reached it, I blinked. The shadow was gone. I looked around, no one. Not a single soul.
"Hey!" A voice cried out, a real person this time.
I spun around, and my entire vision blurred as I stumbled off balance.
"Woah there, breathe." A feminine voice said, laughing softly as I felt hands on my shoulders. "Where ya headed? Best if you get outta this weather, 'specially in those clothes." I looked up at the voice. It was her.
"S-Sam?" I mumbled, my lips still cold. I saw through the rain the astonished expression on her face.
"Oh my dear, I haven't heard that name in quite the while. Let's best get you shelter, c'mon." She said, smiling softly, she wrapped an arm around my waist to steady me. "Lean on me, if ya like."
And I did. This was Sam. This was her.
