I look out among the thousands of people, watching me on the stage. My body shakes, my lips quiver in fright. I look at Ash, his dark hair swept to the right side, his silver eyes bore into mine. I look at the crowd, ready to sing the hardest part of the song. I only need to get this right to ensure my passing of the final competition level.

"The power of love,

a force from above,

a sky scraping do-" I go to reach the highest note, when my body shuts down completely. I can't feel anything, my vision blurs in and out of focus. "Elise!" Ash's low voice calls to me, when he gathers me in his strong arms. I feel liquid running down from the corners of my lips. I raise my numb hand, gently wiping away the substance, looking at my thumb in curiosity. The redness of my blood drips from my fingertip. "Someone Call 911!" Ash's voice rings over the drumming in my ears, I can no longer see into his beautiful silvery eyes.

"A-Ash...ASH!" I can feel the blood beginning to strangle me.

"Elise, don't leave me. Keep your eyes open, please! I promise to never leave you, so do the same. Promise me!" His pleads fall deaf on my ears as I begin to fade into darkness.
