His love

My death

"Where is he?" Desmonds concern for me is sweet, but after reading this book- it's revealed so much to me, who Desmond is, and what Level D is. 

"He's in my timeline Desmond. In order for him to live I have to die, Ms. Dean isn't who she says she is. This book describes the very thing Jeremiah was to her- a contract running out of time. I'm her puppet I just can't figure out what she wants from me. The jumpers are also called Timeline Manipulators. He's changing my timeline from inside out and somehow Eleanor Dean has got a hand on my seam. She's waiting for Jeremiah to poke his head out and the night he tried to insert his bloodline into me she knew because his scent was released by the continuous pummel of your fists to his face. So he jumped inside my timeline."

"How do we get him out Alannah?" 

"By being two steps ahead of them both. My death." I said looking at him.

Desmond lays me down on the table- it's freezing by the way. I stare up at the ceiling, the machine a bright red. 

"What is this going to do to her Gabe?" I look over at the two of them, Gabe typing into his computer not even looking at desmond. 

"It's going to mimic a death for about 3 minutes. The catch is- Alannah's human; I've never used this on a heart that beats 100,000 times a day." He looks back up at desmond- his hands stop typing and the room gets quiet. Why are people trying to save me? All because I don't want to die? or because of another reason? 

"She'll be fine Desmond. Don't worry." He pats his chest three times and walks over to the machine pulling it down from the ceiling. 

"This will only hurt for a second." He pulls the giant metal machine towards my chest, the lazer line is shooting straight at my heart. 

"What's this red thing going to do?" I ask. Desmond walks over to the table also expecting an answer, 

"This red line is going to emit  3.5 Ml of tranquilizer straight through the heart. It'll give your heart 3 minutes worth of sedatives before I stop the machine and quickly melt the tranquilizer from your blood in less than 30 seconds. I expect you to wake up in 2 minutes after turning the machine off. In total your brain will be 'insensate' for a full 5 minutes."

"WHAT! You've got to be kidding me this will never work!" Desmond yells. In the human world, 5 minutes of oxygen deprivation or the lack of my heart pumping blood for even 5 minutes can result in brain loss. But since I've been here I can't even comprehend the outstretched reality. 

"You want to save her life don't you? Desmond. This is how were going to do it, and you desmond; Have one minute to kill Jeremiah. Can you do it?" 

As Gabe gets his equipment ready by giving a human, tranquilizer desmond by instinct holds my head and I squeeze. Of course I'm terrified, who knew I would die and come back from the dead in less than five minutes. I take in a deep breath and let it go, I want to take in as much oxygen as I can before it's gone. 

    I take in every little thing so I can remember while my brain is incoherent or while I'm brain dead. 

    Gabe comes over with his monitors and sets up a lifelike death scene, he's even got the defibrillator set up and on. He connects me to the Oximeter and then pokes me for intravenous therapy (aka IV fluids) and starts the drip. 

"Once this machine turns on and she out cold, you need to run far- but close enough to hear when Jeremiah comes out. He can't sense you being here." Desmond nods his head and looks at me, I love him and I don't want to lose him. He bends down on his knees and holds my hand even tighter,
