Don't Let Me Die!!

The Fire (1)

"STEPHAN!!"

Stephen heard the call, and he instantly ran towards it, the flames around him hissing and eating away at the building. it wasn't the Rose Manor that could possibly be on fire: but he couldn't recall where they are. Ffionn!! Where are you?! Stephan thought as the fire grew. he then saw Ffionn: he was stuck under some debris, and he was crying. No! Don't cry!! Stephan ran up to him, and attempted to move the wooden beam. Ffionn looked at Stephan with tear-filled eyes.

"Stephan!!" Ffionn rasped.

"I can't leave you here!!" Stephan argued, moving the debris enough so Ffionn can move out of the way.

But Ffionn didn't move. "I-I can't feel my legs!" he cried.

Stephan gasped, so he shoved the debris to the side, and dragged Ffionn out of the way, picking him up in a bridal style, and then escaping the dangerous place, Ffionn and him coughing once they got through the fire and to the place where everyone was, staring at the two with worried expressions. Frederick ran up to them, tears in his eyes.

"You two are okay!!" he breathed, looking at Ffionn and Stephan.

But Stephan couldn't hold out anymore, and he almost collapsed, medical people and fire fighters running up to him, some supporting him as he tried to breath. Someone went to take Ffionn, but Stephan instantly went defensive.

"N-no!" Stephan whined as a fire fighter took Ffionn away from him. "I-I need... him..." Stephan cried, finally growing weak enough to fall down and go into a coughing fit.

And that was all he could remember from the fire.

Stephan wood up in the hospital, feeling light headed. He looked as he saw an IV in his arm, and he had one of those breathing masks on, keeping his breath at a stable state. He looked and saw the hospital door open, and a doctor came through, a worried expression on his face.

"Stephan, are you fully conscious?" the doctor asked.

"Wh-wha..?" Stephan rasped, sounding weak.

"You seem conscious... you actually responded to me. Tell me, how do you feel?" the doctor asked.

"Con...fused..?" Stephan replied, coughing a bit after.

"Well, that's a normal feeling, and you look better then yesterday, so that's a plus." the doctor slowly walked up to Stephan.

Stephan inhaled, then remembered: Ffionn. "I-is Ffionn... okay..?" he asked.

"Ffionn is fine. His legs are broken, but he'll be fine." the doctor said, sounding worried.

Stephen felt tears starting to fall. "He needs to be okay!" he whined.

"Stephan please calm down!" the doctor urged.

But Stephan was already crying. "I don't want him hurt! I want him better!" he argued.

"Stephan, please calm down. He's gonna be fine!" the doctor soothed.

Stephan breathed, and blinked. "R-right... h-how long have I been out?" he asked.

"For a few days. You woke up every now and then, but you didn't respond when we asked you questions." the doctor explained.

Stephan sighed, which was shaky. "P-please... do everything you can... to keep Ffionn alive..." he begged.

The doctor blinked, then nodded, a soft smile on his face. "Of course, Stephan." he said as he went to leave.

Once the doctor was gone, Stephan started to drift off to sleep, his breathing slow and calm as he started to close his eyes.

"Ffionn..." he said softly as he fell asleep.

~{•}~

Stephan was now able to move around in the hospital, and he was always visiting Ffionn, who was always asleep. This made Stephan worried. He isn't always sleeping... he though as he sat on his bed in his hospital room, looking down at his hands. Will be be okay? Stephan though as he heard the room door open, and when he looked, he saw a girl with dark red hair, but a blue strand of hair went down the center. She was wearing a dark red long coat, and had fishnet tights, with black tall boots. She looked at Stephan with a intense gaze as she then spoke.

"Hello, Stephan." she spoke gently.

Stephan blinked. "D-do I know you?" he asked.

"Oh, you will know me as your saviour." the woman said, walking up to the bunny.

"Wh-what?" Stephan asked, tilting his head.

"You'll find out soon enough..." the woman chuckled as she sat next to Stephan.

"O-okay... b-but if you are my saviour, can you help me?" Stephan asked.

The woman nodded. "Sure. But I have a price." the woman warned.

Stephan gulped. "Anything."

"I require that artifact you had bought a long time ago." the woman demanded.

Stephan blinked. "You mean that statue I got?" he asked.

"The small one with the three heads... Cerberus." the woman said.

Stephan gulped. "A-alright..." he said.

The woman chuckled. "Good... now, what do you desire?" she asked.
