"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Xander, my voice void of any emotions. I was in my warrior stance in front of the whole pack. Back straight, hands folded in front of me and feet shoulder-width apart. I know I looked composed because that...
"Run" I whisper to Demidicus's confused face before I could take a step forward, I felt my eyes roll back, and the world fell away from me as I pass.

-Anala-
I'm running.
Running from something.
Towards something?
I don't know the difference anymore.
But I'm moving faster and faster. My arms reach for something, anything in this cold nothingness.
I'm clawing for survival, waiting for someone to reach out to me as well.
Air escapes my lungs, and a slow burn begins in my throat.
A slow burn that won't go away; it keeps burning away at every fiber of my being.
This is pure agony.
I can't take it anymore.
Is there anyone who can stop this?
Someone...anyone... please. I really can't take any more.
There. Is. Nothing. Left.
"Breath, you damn fool." A growl ripped through the pain.
Breathe?
"Get air into your damn lungs now!" Her voices ripped through again, distracting the searing pain.
"WE WILL LIVE!" Ulrica growled, the haze finally breaking.
That's right...I'm not alone.
I cannot be erased like this... We will not be erased.
I woke up with a gasp, still feeling the burning sensation in my throat.
Something seemed to be digging at my brain. With agonizing slowness, I opened my eyes, immediately shutting them when the light burned my eyes from the unshaded window nearby, the moonlight scorching my eyes. It made the sun seem dim in comparison. When I tried to peel them open again, I forced myself to turn my head, nearly gagging from nausea that hit me. I wanted to clutch my head, but my arms felt like dead weights at my side. My entire body didn't seem to want to respond.
I moaned softly.
Rica? I think softly.
I'm here, you dummy. You forgot to breathe for a minute. Rember air equals life. She reprimanded. Quickly I release the breath I was holding.
Right...gotta remember to breathe.
Please do so. Now please try to keep us alive for at least an hour. I desperately need rest.
Okay. I reply softly
Promise? Rica murmured
I promise. I reply, rolling my eyes. I feel Rica shrink inside my mind, safe and alive. At least we can count on that for now.
