"Shepard!" Liara reached towards her lover. A sharp pain eloped her entire body, and she choked on the blood threatening to make its way up her throat. Her vision blurred momentarily and she stared up at her female lover with desperation. She vaguely felt herself being pulled off the ground and the void of the beacon flashed too bright for her sensitive eyes.
"Liara…" Shepard was carrying her. With Shepard in her view, Liara's mind eased and the world came back to her. She could feel Garrus pull her away.
"Shepard!" Liara pulled away from him, stumbling towards the Commander, "Shepard no! I'm… I'm coming with you." Liara looked up at Shepard pleadingly; taking in what they both knew could very well be their last moments together.
"Liara you're hurt." Shepard cradled the asari's face for a moment.
"I'm fine Shepard really-"Liara broke off as the blood creeped up her trachea again.
"Liara go!" Shepard yelled and backed away.
Liara watched as her love, her only true soulmate walked away from her. Tears poured down her cheeks, the physically pain no longer making a dent due to the mask of emotions that eloped her.
"Shepard…" Liara took one last glance, "I… I am yours."
Shepard's eyes met hers; there was no need for words.
"GO!" Shepard ordered sternly before running towards the beacon.
Garrus practically yanked Liara into the shuttle; her heart was too heavy for her feet to carry.
Liara and Garrus boarded the Normandy. Garrus pulled her towards the med bay, but Liara refused and ripped herself from him. She ran to the observation deck, the Catalyst was just in view. She turned her radio on.
"Did Shepard make it?" Liara almost cried into the radio.
"We don't know." An Alliance officer answered.
The radio chatter continued meaninglessly and as Liara waited every second felt like an eternity.
"Shepard is in! I repeat Shepard is in!" A voice rang out and Liara gasped, clutching her side with effort. She didn't notice the tears streaming down her face. Her side was bleeding badly, and she more than likely had numerous broken ribs. She dared not put pressure on her calf that was most defiantly broken, and her left shoulder was still dangling out of socket uselessly. None of this mattered at the moment.
All she needed was to know that Shepard was okay, that she was coming back to her.
Liara stared at the Catalyst with eager eyes. She prayed silently.
Please, please, please, goddess, she has to come back to me. She has to. I need her, she has to come back.
Liara continued this chant, when suddenly a small red orb grew from the center of the Catalyst. Liara's heart snapped in half.
"What? No… No!" Liara yelled and pressed her hands to the glass.
Garrus put his hand on her good shoulder.
"Liara we have to leave- NOW!" He attempted to force the asari to sit down.
"NO!" Liara pulled away from him, "No! Garrus- Shepard's in there!" Liara pounded on the glass once.
"Liara- we cant save her! We have to go!"
"No! Shepard!" Liara's vision was filled with a red glow and Garrus forced her to sit just as the Normandy hit the Sol Relay.
Liara watched as she leapt lightyears away from her dead other half.
Liara pressed her hand to her mouth, and screamed into her own palms.
The ship suddenly started to falter, Liara was jostled in her seat and Garrus's attempts to keep her seated failed. Liara was thrown into the side of the ship, and her world faded to black
