The only thing different about this story is that elves have extravagant balls often.
Sophie realized what was happening about halfway through the third song. Her food had tasted off and now the hot flashes were starting. She knew the symptoms of poisoning, she knew she would be dead by the time that the sun came up, which meant tonight had to count. She strolled across the room to where Fitz was waiting for her, she smiled at him,
"Let's dance!" she exclaimed, Fitz laughed and grabbed her hand as they walked out to the dance floor. He pulled her close to him and for a minute she forgot what was happening to her, then she suddenly got cold as a large cramp entered her stomach. She sharply breathed in but managed to stay up right and smiling,
"You feel warm, are you okay?" Fitz asked her. Sophie nodded. She rested her head on his shoulder. They danced slowly around the room. The songs kept changing and everyone danced at different speeds to meet the pace but Sophie didn't go faster so neither did Fitz.
The night started to come to an end and Sophie felt her mind get slower and more one tracked. She heard familiar female laughter, but couldn't tell if it was Biana or Linh. Heard someone call her by her last name, but couldn't remember who it was that affectionately called her 'Foster'. Couldn't remember Fitz's voice, as he held her up and distantly called her name. She looked at his eyes as everyone crowded around her. She was falling onto her knees. Different voices called her name as she felt herself get laid down on the cool tile floor. It helped the hot flash for a second but then made her cold,
"Foster, wake up,"
"Sophie! Sophie!" They were all just words being shouted at her, just like the fingers being snapped in her face, or the two people stuffing things down her throat, they made her want to throw up, so she turned and did, she vomited for what felt like hours, but it didn't help, she knew what she had been poisoned with, and it entered the bloodstream almost immediately. She felt herself start to pass out as everything slowly went dark.
An:Carin: This was pretty short but this will be a collection, In some of them it might even not be Sophie who dies. Someone will die in all of them though, so if you don't like death fics, this is not a story for you. I swear I'm not this angst ridden in real life (most of the time), I typically do things like refer to Allison and Anne ( IggyChewingOnAShoe) as Smol birds. Also this is pretty short. My death scenes typically are. Also sorry that the paragraphs are off, I wrote this on my phone not my computer. Hope you enjoyed,
Bye!
