A/N: I never thought I'd resort to this, but here it is. A one-shot! Although, I have plans for making it longer with an actual plot line, but that's all up to what you lovely people think. I didn't have much muse today but here is what I came up with.
The Fear Inside Us
He tried to breath, but he couldn't. Time seemed to stop as he gasped for breath. The world slipped away from him slowly and faded to darkness. He wanted to fight it, but why bother? He was dying, old and alone...
Nikola sat up in his bed, gasping. Sweat beads slid down his forehead. Still gasping, he pushed his blankets off- they were already about to fall off anyway- and rushed over to the mirror, almost tripping in the process. Facing the mirror, he glided his hand over his face and hair. He sighed and calmed down a notch. "Oh thank goodness; I'm still beautiful..." Nikola wandered back over to his bed and picked the covers up, replacing them on the bed.
Nikola quickly got dressed and was straightening his suit, when suddenly, his cell phone rang. Smirking, he answered it. "Nikola Tesla."
Helen's voice came through the speaker. "Hello, Nikola. I need your help- wipe that smirk off your face. I'll be in the library." The line cut off quickly.
Nikola rolled his eyes. "Love you too." Walking through his door, he contemplated what Helen needed this time. He sadly doubted it was romantic company. Whatever it was, Nikola would be there for her, as always.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Tell me if you think I should make it into a full-fledged story. I had plans for maybe an abnormal that was causing trouble(like always) and Nikola will try to help Helen. There would be pain and bunch of Nikola angst. Just give me the word, and I'll start on Chapter 2. PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY Please REVIEW!
