Raven's POV
Wait a second, let me catch my breath
Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
Your lips are moving I can't hear a thing
Living life as if we had a choice
Curse that song. Just fuck it.
Nababaliw na talaga ang mga taong ito. Nagagawa pa nilang magpatugtog nang ganyang mga kanta sa kalagitnaan nang isang nakakamatay na proseso. Mas pinapalala nila ang sitwasyon ko. Mas pinapa-depress nila ang kalagayan nang pasyente. Kung totoo nga silang magaling, dapat alam nila na hindi nakakabuti sa emosyon nang tao yan.
Pero wala na akong nagawa kundi ang mahiga dahil sa panghihina nang aking katawan. Nakatulala lang ako sa taas nang silid habang pinagsasaksak nila ang iba't ibang aparato. Ramdam ko ang sakit at pamamanhid habang kinukunan nila ako nang dugo at pinapalitan nang itim na likidong di ko alam kung para saan.
Baby, anytime I would do anything for you
Anything for you
Yesterday got away
Melodies stuck inside your head
A song in every breath
So this is it huh? Is this really my last? Pero bakit wala akong maramdaman? Dahil ba na manhid na ako? Tss. So much for a peaceful life I've always wanted.
Pansin ko sa aking peripheral view na papalapit ang lalaking naka maskara hindi ko alam pero pamilyar ang kanyang postura at pananalita. Hindi ko naman matandaan kung nagkita na ba kami noon.
"Hmm. You are a beautiful young lady. You've got pretty good skills in combat and weapons. But I didn't expect you'd fall for his goddamn deal." paikot-ikot siya sa mesa kung saan ako ngayon. "Though that was a favor for my part. I get to know more about you and who would think that you're the last Valkyrie descendant? Ha! And I get to kill you. Hahahaha!" tumawa siya nang mala demonyo at kahit na batid ko ang takot ay ipinukol ko parin sa kanya ang nanggagalaiti kong mga mata.
Humanda ka talaga sa aking halimaw ka!
Ngunit bago ko pa man maisaksak sa kanya ang syringe na nakuha ko ay may itinusok siya sa aking leeg na dahilan upang mas bumigat ang aking pakiramdam. Damn you kung sino ka man, magbabayad ka.
Unti-unting lumalabo ang aking paningin sa paligid at kahit anong gawin kong pagpipigil ay mismong mga mata ko na ang sumasara. Ramdam ko ang pag-ikot nang mundo at ang pagkahilo.
"That's it princess. Sleep tight. And when you wake up tonight, you shall be my assassin to lead the fight..."
Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Oh won't you sing me to sleep now?
Sing me to sleep

"Avi, don't. Please don't."
Kuya?
"Not yet. Not yet."
What do you mean? Where are you? I can't see a thing.
"There are still so many things you need to know. Not yet please. Not yet."
What things? I can't understand.
"Soon you'll know...just live. Live."
*********
"Aaaaaahhhh!"
"Doc, the host is responding but she's getting stronger. We have to contain her now!" I can see five assistants wearing surgical gowns and are trying to hold me down but I can feel the pain continously rushing through my nerves.
"Hold still! We've got one last shot."
"Aaaaaaahhhh! N-nooo! Nooo" for the second time everything went black.
*********
"Avi, fight it."
D-dad?
"Darling, fight it."
Mom where are you? Help me! It hurts!
"Raven, wake up."
T-thunder? I-I can't...
Wake up
Wake up
*********
Remember me now, time cannot erase
I can hear your whispers on my mind
I've become what you cannot embrace
Our memory will be my lullaby

To be clear in this part, there has been a battle between her consciousness (normal font) and unconsciousness (italized font) but some lines of the song were inserted so please don't be confused.
