My Kidnapped Soul (CaptainSparklez fanfic)

12~ Death is a funny thing

EDITED

Kate's POV

I'm lying here in darkness and I realize something. It's a funny thing death is, one minute you're fine and the next your world comes crashing down. Your loved ones cry and say good bye and then forget you. You're left in the darkness alone, trying to see. Screaming but no one hears your desperate pleas. Forgotten and buried with their memories of you. They move on, the world keeps turning but you're not really dead, you're just alone. When the bullet tore through my flesh I continued dying, there was neglect and then desperation. Trying to save a lost cause. This is a side effect of dying.

"I couldn't get my breath and it felt like my chest was on fire, flames licking the inside of my ribs fighting for a way to burn out of my body - nurse asked me about the pain, and I couldn't even speak, so I held up nine fingers.

Later, after they'd given me something, the nurse came in and she was kind of stroking my head while she took my blood pressure and said, "You know how I know you're a fighter? You called a ten a nine."

But that wasn't quite right. I called it a nine because I was saving my ten. And here it was, the great and terrible ten, slamming me again and again as I lay still and alone in my bed staring at the ceiling, the waves tossing me against the rocks then pulling me back out to sea so they could launch me again into the jagged face of the cliff, leaving me floating face up on the water, un-drowned."

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

This is life. This is a side effect of dying.
