If I should die before I wake [Closed]

When he had been sedated and placed into the pods, Daimon Hellstrom's heart felt as though it were on fire. When he woke the pain had spread to his entire body. He had been released into one of the halls but he couldn't stand again. He didn't even have the strength to stay on his hands and knees and collapsed onto the floor.

"No." He whispered.

Daimon heard Stacy's gentle, encouraging voice in his head but not listening. He couldn't make out the words.

It was impossible to focus on anything but the pain. He couldn't remember where he'd been before now. He tried to clear his mind and focus but it was useless.

"Months," the word kept running through his mind. Why?

You're dying. And with the realization came other memories. His weakness, his chest pains, all symptoms he had ignored for as long as he could until he saw Dr. Hussain. Somehow, he knew he was dying. He could feel it but until she said "less than six months" he hadn't realized how quickly it was all happening.

Now that time was gone. He had spent it in the pods as Stacy tried in vain to heal him.

Daimon clawed at the floor but even his attempts to crawl failed.

Not yet. God, please not yet. Patsy. Let me see Patsy one more time.

Patsy set her mouth in a grim, annoyed line. She just stared at the statue for a long moment. And then she gently huffed out a sigh. She wouldn't give the darksoul the pleasure of getting to her. Not at all.

"Yes." But all of everything that she felt was contained in that one, single syllable.
cheeseandcrackers: (Heh. Yeah.)

"Oh, gosh, I don't know," Patsy snarked. "A promise to behave or something?"

"I didn't think you would," Patsy replied. "But I had to try." She stepped back for a second and surveyed the statue. She knew what to do. She knew exactly how to let the darksoul loose.

But could she do it?

...Yes.

And so, she took a deep breath...
