Philip panted and groaned in pain. His side and his arm were burning, he could barely breath. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt!

His vision blurred with tears, but he could make out the shapes of his parents, both clinging to him and begging him to just stay alive.

"Philip!"

Philips eyes shot open and he managed to turn his head to the sound.

"T-Theo." He groaned when his arm shifted, muffling a cry of pain.

"Philip, you fool. You stupid fool." Theodosia sobbed.

"Ma, p-pa... T-Theo..." He stammered before whimpering. "It hurts. It hurts so much."

"I know, I know." His father whispered.

"My darling Philip." His mother sobbed, a hand running through his hair.

Theodosia held his hand tightly and Philip could just barely feel her trembling.

"Stay with us Philip." She whispered.

Philip tried to smile, but he could tell his heart was failing. He could feel the infection burning, could tell he was losing his fight.

He took a shuddering breath, gave his family and loved ones one last smile, before going still.

"NO!"

"PHILIP!"
