The Alpha Omega.

Lights.

"Why?"
I hear Claire say softly.

"What do you mean?"
I ask and stand up, before looking around Lightland and see Claire.

"River..... I don't know if I can bring you back this time."
She says with a sad voice.

"Is Sydney safe?"
I ask and look at her.

"What? You need to focus on yourself."
She says and looks at me confused.

"Is she safe?"
I ask again.

"Yes... They're back at the house."
She says and looks at me.
"Jakes trying to save you."

"Can you let me talk to him?"
I ask and look at her.

"I suppose, but why?"
She asks and looks at me.

"Just do it."
I say and close my eyes.

"WOAH!! River?"
I hear Jake's voice and I open my eyes.

"Jake, stop trying to save me."
I say and look at him.

"No... Are you crazy?"
He asks and looks at me.

"No, but you need to leave and go protect the girls."
I say and look into his eyes.

"No.... You made a promise and I'm not letting you break it."
He says and looks back, before stepping forward and getting in my face.

"I'm not worth it, go save them."
I say and look at him.

"River, don't say that again."
He says and turns around.

"I'm not, go save them."
I say and step forward.

"BOOM."
I see stars as he right hooks me.

"YOU'RE NOT DYING."
He yells and picks me up.

"Jake, stop."
I say sputtering blood.

"ARE YOU REALLY GONNA GIVE UP AND LEAVE HER?"
He knees me in the stomach, before throwing me face first into the ground.

"No."
I say and feel internal bleeding.

"GET UP AND FIGHT."
He yells, before kicking me across the void.

I slowly get up and look at him.

"If you're not gonna let me leave, then I'll force you out."
He yells and charges me, before spearing me to the ground.
He grabs my neck.
"I'm sorry, Boss."
He says, before snapping my neck.

"WOAH!"
I yell as I wake up in Lightland.

"That went well."
She says and looks at me.

"Can you help Jake save me?"
I ask and look at her.

"I might could, but if I leave you then you die.
I'm your life support right now."
She says and looks at me.

"Do it."
I say and close my eyes.

"Do you not understand what I just said?"
She asks me like I'm stupid.

"I'm dead anyway, if you don't do this."
I say coldly and look into her eyes.

"You have to fight, or this is gonna be useless."
She says.

"Don't worry. I will."
I say and look at her.

"Ok, bye."
She says, then everything goes black.

I can hazily see Jake, but it's kinda just bits and pieces.

"WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?"
I hear Jake yell, as he tries healing the wound.
"WHAT? LET YOU TAKE OVER?"
He yells confused, then everything goes black...
