A madimoo fanfic. NIKOLAI SHIPPING!Enjoy.

Mal died in my arms his lifeless body sat in a pool of blood the power ran through me and the fold lit up around I sobbed uncontrollably looking over at Mal it had always been me and him but now he was gone. His body lay in the grey sand it couldn't…It shouldn't end like this. The fold was slowly disintegrating and it was taking its toll on my body as the last wisps of the fold floated away and I just collapsed from exhaustion.

"Alina?Alina?"

I can hear my name being called over and over but I can't respond I can't move.

"She's in a deep coma and it is impossible she will wake up without some kind of brain damage" An unknown voice says.

I hear someone sit down next to me they start talking.

"Alina if you can hear me I just want to say I love you and that if don't wake up a part of my heart will be lost."

Nikolai? I never thought you felt about me in that way I thought it was for power for allies for the good of Ravka but no It was always about me and I never even knew it how could I have been so naïve. How could I have not seen what's in front of me? How could I ….

I open my eyes I'm in a small tent and an feel a gentle breeze under the mounds of blankets that are on top of me.

I scan the room where is Nikolai? Is Mal okay? I already know the answer to that. And most importantly is the Darkling dead?

"Good Morning Alin…"Nikolais' voice rings out he stops dead in front of me "Alina! You're alive!"

"Of course I'm 'Alive'" she says mimicking his tone.

"The doctors said your recovery was impossible! I had almost given up hope" He says looking like a dog you've just given a bone to.

"Improbable, Nikolai not impossible." I repeat his well-known saying.

"I…thought I'd lost you I can't live in a world where there was something I could have done to prevent your death it wouldn't be right." He suddenly turns serious and looks right into my eyes.

"I don't mind where you go I just want you to be happy, to be safe." He continues placing his hand gently on mine.

"I'm happy with you." I answer. I could see his face ready to take the disappointment ready to say 'It doesn't matter Alina'.

I have said the right thing he lifts me up in his arms and gently kiss' my forehead and whispers

"You'll be safe with me Alina."
