Chapter 1

Skye POV

I ache everywhere and when I open my eyes from a deep sleep I am met with my pod. I sit suddenly and it makes me dizzy. My head falls slowly to between my legs as I let the nausea pass. Either I'm dreaming or I have had the worst nightmare.

Everything in me is throbbing and it seems like today is the day I will be having a migraine. I've only ever had a few but I think migraines are terrible and I don't know how other people can function with them.

A sharp loud knock on my door, pierces my ears causing them to ring as I groan from the pain in my head. The door slides open and Ward is standing staring at me weirdly.

'What they hell do you want?' I snap at him.

He rubs his neck awkwardly and says, 'You're late from training. I was coming to get you up, but I don't think that is going to happen.'

I groan and say, 'Can you go ask Simmons if she has any massive pain killers.'

Ward nods curtly and practically runs from my pod. I stand on my shaky legs, like a new born deer I struggle to walk to the bathroom using the wall to get me there. The door slides open with a push of a button and I collapse into the sink as my arms struggle to support me.

I look into the mirror and it looks like I've been through all kinds of hell. My hair is a mess and I'm pale as hell, I look like death as warmed over me.

'Oh no…oh no oh god, Simmons! Get down here! Oh…oh god. Hang on, just hang on okay.'

I gasp at the voice ringing through my ears and I look around for Coulson, hoping he is okay. But I'm alone. Alone.

I can feel myself falling to the ground and I can't grab anything to stop me. I close my eyes as I hit the hard floor, my head snapping back to the ground. The migraine I have now is pounding at the back of my head and I cry out in pain my hands gripping my head.

I can feel other hands touch my body and a few voices but I can't open my eyes because the pain is so bad and the ringing is deafening me. I feel myself being lifted and being moved. It hurts so much. Everything hurts.
