Kierra's POV:
I want to let go, just stop fighting to wakeup and rid myself of this eternal darkness. I've been holding on too long and I'm exhausted.
A thought reared its ugly head in the hazy bleakness. Maybe I should just die, no one would care. Even I wouldn't mind leaving this horrible place.
No, I will stay, if I think about it long enough I start to realize, I'm not dead and I don't have to deal with life. Suddenly this darkness seems to wrap me in comfort instead of pain and I can feel my worn out muscles loosen.
Austin's POV:
"WE'RE LOOSING HER!" Amelia screams as we ran down the hall to her medical room. I carried Kierra's limp body in my arms rushing down the complex maze of hallways.
I laid her body on one of the beds in the hospital wing of our building. Amelia worked frantically hooking Kierra up to what seemed like a million machines.
I looked on through bleary eyes for hours when Amelia's hands stilled. She turned on her heel and swiped a hand across her forehead then pulled a clear vial of purple liquid out of her scrubs pocket.
"This is our last resort, her heartbeat is fading." She help up the vial and said "This will bring her back but she will be... different it will fix all of her scars, she will never get acne again, and she won't feel pain. But she also won't be able to feel emotions at all and she will slowly begin to loose her humanity. This means she won't be able to ever love you Austin and she will become a daemon."
I was rendered speechless. Infront of me was a serum that would bring my true love out of the reaches of death, but I still paused when Amelia said that she would become an emotionless daemon.
"I will leave you to make you're decision, but do it quickly dear, her time is extremely limited. Please try to make the right decision." Amelia placed the vial in my shaking palm and left the room.
