Nari's POV
My head is swimming, my body feels so heavy, why is everything dark? What's that sound....wait I know that sound. Cas. I feel something cold and squishy against my face, it's his nose, and he's whining. What's wrong, why is he whining? I try to pull together all my scattered thoughts. Sick, we were really sick. Nyx, where is Nyx; I have to find her. Something is wrong with my body, I want to move but I can't, even breathing feels like work. I have to move. I concentrate everything on opening my eyes, my eyelids just barely flutter.
Ok, next I need my voice. I manage a hoarse raspy noise. "Cas..." Immediately he comes into my field of vision, and licks my face. Ok he's here, good. Now I need to move, fuck, I feel my bones grinding against each other as I barely shift. Pain courses throughout my body. Ok it's too much to try and move my whole body so let's start small. I can move my fingers a little, I concentrate on working that up my arm until I can finally lift it a few inches.
"Cas..." I tap the floor with my fingernails, he comes to my call and I'm able to hook my fingers around his collar. Just like he's been trained to do he shoulders my arm and uses his body weight as leverage to lift me a little. "Cas..Mămică. Little Mommy?" Thank goodness Cas is large and strong, he pulls me along the hardwood floor. I see her, she is only a few feet from me. Cas drops my arm when I'm at her side and then he starts to prod at Nyx's face with his muzzle. She doesn't respond.
I focus my vision to watch her back, I see it rise and fall with shallow breaths. Ok good neither of us are dead, but what the fuck is going on. I hear people in the hallway outside the flat, there's a knock at the door but my voice isn't strong enough to reach them. I hear the voices fading, no no please don't leave! I tap the floor again, "Lătra," I whisper. Cas' booming bark fills the silent apartment, he won't stop until I tell him to. I hear the people return and this time they bang at the door.
After a few minutes that seem like ages I hear the door unlocking and several people burst in. Cas takes up a protective stance in front of Nyx and I. I touch his foreleg and give him a command to back down, he does, though he still stays close. At least four people rush forward. Someone is trying to talk to me, but it's hard to understand. A face appears before me, I know that face from somewhere. It clicks in my brain like a glimmer of light, "Do-yun ssi?"
It is Do-yun, why is he here? I feel two sets of strong arms pulling me into a sitting position, but I have little control so my head falls back. I see a large figure scooping Nyx into their arms, then they're taking her away. Wait! I have to be with her, I need to take care of her. I feel someone trying to lift me, "My dog," I whisper, someone tries to shush me. No, I'm not leaving him! "Cas," I call and he comes close to me, I snag his collar in a vice grip. I see someone reach to undo my hand but they pause when they hear the low rumble coming from the Great Dane. I hear a frantic argument in Korean, next I see movement and hear Do-yun.
I feel the rough fibers of Cas' braided leash. Do-yun tells me that Cas will come with me but I have to let him go so they can carry me. I nod as much as I can, the metallic clip of the leash sounds in my ear and I feel the leash handle being slipped around my wrist. Someone supports me while another someone with a very large build hauls me up into a piggy back hold. The movement makes everything pulse and blur; I try to fight the inevitable but soon all my senses are fading away and I'm just alone in the still silent darkness of my mind.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Oh for fucks sake, I'd know that sound anywhere. Cracking open my eyelids I scowl at the IV pump and it's incessant racket. I stay still, but as I survey the room something catches my eye. Please don't be what I think you are. I try to focus my eyes but they feel incredibly dry and sandy. Blinking a few times the plaque comes into view "Seoul National University Hospital". No, no, no! Seoul is the last fucking place on the planet that I want to be.
