Just Let Me Die

Heidi's P.O.V.

I felt a warm sensation all over my face. I awoke to dried blood on my shirt, and Alexander on the floor next to the bed. I turned my head to the right and Tod was on the bed next to me.

My face lit up with excitement, and I went to lift my arm to pet him but something kept my arm held down. I looked left down at my arm and a IV was hooked to it. I looked up at Alexander, freaking out. I HATE needles.

"Wh-"

"Before you ask, it was only necessary."

"What do you mean necessary? I'm fine. Why aren't you healing me? Isn't that what you're here to do?"

"Heidi, you've lost a lot of blood. Fine isn't a good word to be using right now, and there are only certain things we can heal. Mostly everything, but it's impossible to heal organs we can only act as a doctor at one point. You need to rest." He said, pulling blankets up to my chest.

"I'm not tired." I argued with him back and forth for a good 10 minutes until he got out another needle and a medicine bottle. I looked him straight in the eye.

"You wouldn't dare." I glared at him.

"Watch me." He then stuck the needle into the IV. A sense of drowsiness washed over me immediately. I knew when I woke up he'd pay for doing this, but my mind became fuzzy and I laid my head on Tod, falling fast asleep.

~~

Was this a dream? It sure felt like real life to me. I was surrounded by woods, hopelessly lost. A sunset was breaking along the horizon, owls were hooting over my head. In the distance a coyote howled claiming it's prey.

My eyes wondered around exploring every nook and cranny. I didn't miss a single beat. I walked slowly through the forest, it was overgrown with weeds and sunflowers. I smelled honeysuckles flourishing somewhere near here. I walked towards a beautiful circle of flowers; purple, pink, orange, white, blue, every color you could ever imagine a flower was.

I walked towards them, bending down to take a whiff, and then they hit me. Millions and millions of bees flew out from a hive right above my head, the stinging was non-stop. My body was swelling like a balloon, I just wanted to wakeup but I couldn't.

~~

I awoke, coughing and gasping for air. Alexander was working heavily over me, applying ice packets all over my body.

"This might hurt, just please don't move!" He screamed in my ear, foreshadowing my fear of needles. He stuck a needle full of adrenaline into my leg. My air way was beginning to become constricted.

He ripped the IV out of my arm, and I screeched in pain. I looked down at my body, and it was bloated.

Almost like a million bee stings.

"Wh-wh-what's wrong with me?" I couldn't comprehend it, it was like the dream was coming true.

"YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO THE MORPHINE!" He desperately cried out, exhaustion heavily showing.

Alexander was a newer guardian, trying to gain his rights to become an angel.

"It's already in my bloodstream. How can you stop the swelling from continuing?"

My head was pounding.

"Could my brain explode? Could it swell so big it just pops?"

"Please don't think like that Heidi, please just lie still. LIE STILL!" He began to shout at me. I squinted my eyes, yelling wasn't helping. I began to cry. I could feel Tod lapping up the tears that started coming out of my eyes. I felt Alexander shove another needle into my arm. "Stay with me Hadie, please stay with me." But, I couldn't. I just couldn't.

Why won't I just die?

Why do I have to suffer?

Why is it necessary?

Just let me die.
