Comatose (a Hawmitch (Nathaniel Hawthorne x Margaret Mitchell) fanfic) by: Eri Fujiwara

Taking place in Margaret's POV

All around me is darkness. I don't remember much before passing out, but I do remember jumping in front of Nathaniel and blocking that attack from the Port Mafia member that called himself Diablo...

Geez, I hope he's okay. I don't know what's going on now but I sure hope he isn't getting himself in trouble. I feel so...powerless in this state. Will I ever wake up from this darkness?

I am found sitting in this void of what appears to be my mind. Although I'm wearing my usual dress, there's a hole in my chest. I begin to panic when I realize that it's where I got injured. But why is there an actual hole?

Then I look up and see something in the distance. I try to get up but I cannot. It's as if chains are restraining me. Suddenly, a figure appears before me. It's him. "Nathaniel!" I shout, extending my arms towards him but he does not respond. "Oh that's right, it's a figment of my imagination." I thought.

He turns away and begins walking towards a mysterious person. The person appears to be wearing a fur coat and matching hat as well as red boots. His overall appearance looks untrustworthy….WAIT. Is my mind showing me something that's happening in real life?

Nathaniel seems to be shaking hands with this man. Is he possibly making some sort of deal? "He would never do such a thing." I murmured. Then, I could hear a soft whisper of his voice declaring, "I am taking back her honor."

I soon figure out who he's referring to….me. "NO! NATHANIEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I am screaming at the illusion thinking he could hear me. What I thought were chains restraining me were actually beginning to pull me away from the vision until I can no longer see it. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Back into the darkness once again.

I don't wanna live

I don't wanna breathe

'Less I feel you next to me

You take the pain I feel

(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

I don't wanna sleep

I don't wanna dream

Cause my dreams don't comfort me

The way you make me feel

(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

End
