Thank you so much for reading! This is my first fan-fiction so hopefully I will get better as it goes on... I don't have a lot of scenes from the game because I don't want to repeat things you guys have probably already seen, but I do try to stay as canon as possible. Sorry for mistakes here and there!
I won't have a lot of action or combat in my story because I want to focus on the drama/romance.
Reviews are always appreciated! :)
Prologue
Shepard
So, this was death. Everything was white. The last thing I could remember was the pain of suffocating in the middle of space after an unknown ship attacked the Normandy. At least Joker made it to the escape pod. And Kaidan. Tears filled my eyes as I also remembered my future with Kaidan was gone.
Tears? If I was dead, how could I be crying? I heard voices and a steady beeping sound. Was I in the hospital? Had I survived after all? I had to find Kaidan and make sure he was all right.
"K-Kai…dan." My voice didn't sound like me. It crackled and my chest throbbed as I tried to speak. "K-Kaidan. Please. Where…"
The beeping noise grew faster.
"Calm down, Commander. Just try to relax," a woman with a heavy accent said softly. I could barely make out her face surrounded by a blur of dark hair as she looked down on me.
I felt a sharp pain in my arm and my eyes instantly grew heavy.
No, I can't fall asleep now. I have to find him.
I mustered up every ounce of energy I had left and spoke again. "Where's Kaidan?!" I yelled, my chest on fire.
No answer.
The beeping slowed as my energy dissipated. I had no control over my body as I slipped back into unconsciousness.
