[ His voice was so soft, like the coo of a dove whispered in her ear. Comforting and warm, so much so that she practically leans into it, focusing so hard on those words, his voice, anything. Even as the world slowly starts to tunnel in on itself.

If you don't, then she might...
(I'm scared.) ]
Allen—
[ Her body began to tingle, the feeling strange and altogether too far away. Chilling. Frightening. She grasped for it. For anything. Please...
She felt something tear. Her head swirled, and while she did not feel pain as he pulled the javelin from her back, she felt dizzy. As if the world, which had begun to grow frighteningly dark, had somehow tipped on its axis.
Another ragged, sudden breath. Then she eased into him, letting her head rest on his shoulder, feeling his hand on her back. A hand slowly rested on his back, trembling with the effort before moving slowly in a feeble attempt at comfort.
Comfort for him... and comfort for herself. ]

[ Her breaths were slower now, shallow and high in her chest. Her voice was soft, barely audible. Like a child, struggling to stay awake. ]
When I close my eyes... who I want to protect...
I...
[ Her voice fading, her lips moved silently, her hand falling to her side, the light around her fading to nothing.
