Time of Dying
A Hagi story based off the song "Time of Dying" by Three Days Grace
Saya: I love this song!
Aldedron: I know; me, too!!
Saya: Do you like this song, too, Hagi?
Hagi: If that is your wish
Saya: It's a yes or no question…
Aldedron: You know, you seem to have issues giving straight answers, Hagi
Saya: I know! Will you just answer the question??
Hagi: …
Aldedron: *snicker* I think he doesn't know what the song is
Saya: *snicker* I think you may be right… If you say "If that is your wish" or nothing at all, we'll take that as a confession
Hagi: … If-
Saya: He admitted it!!!
Amshel: Baka apprentice
Aldedron: Why are you talking like Cross Marian?? We're in a Blood+ fan-fic, you know. This isn't DGM.
Saya: Since when is Hagi your apprentice!!?
Amshel: Since never. I just wanted to say that
Aldedron / Saya: *shrug* Works for me…
The world was spinning and my body felt weightless and yet heavy. I'd lost so much blood and everything was in agony. What had happened?? Why couldn't I move?? I couldn't even open my eyes anymore. They were so heavy and forced their way closed. So… tired…
"Hagi!!" she screamed.
Saya. That's right. Now I remembered. I'd been trying to get that fire lily for Saya, but had fallen off the cliff. Where was that flower? I remembered grabbing it before the rock broke… Or was that just a hallucination? Even after all that work, had I not gotten the flower? Saya would be so disappointed…
"There's so much blood," she said in panic. "Blood…"
Her voice was fading. How could I be going to sleep in front of my mistress?? What was wrong with me? But I couldn't open my eyes. They were glued shut. This was so improper. And I'd just been criticizing her on her improper etiquette only a minute ago. Had it really only been a couple minutes ago? It felt like much more time had passed than that. Maybe this whole charade was just a dream. Yes. That would explain it. No wonder I couldn't move. I was already asleep! That meant… What time was it? It seemed kind of bright out, but I couldn't be sure, considering that my eyes were closed. The world became even darker as a shadow passed over me. What the—?
There was something warm on my lips. A warm liquid poured into my mouth. It had a strange, metallic taste. I swallowed, trying to get a breath. The warmth pulled away. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Saya was above me and a look of relief crossed her anxious face. I could see dark clouds behind her and a rocky cliff— I jerked in pain. So… much… pain. This was millions of times worse than in my dream. I writhed in pain. It felt like my body was being torn to shreds. Like I was being ripped apart from the inside. I could hear my heart pounding and suddenly, everything was dark… and silent.
Lulu: Well that was SHORT
Aldedron: Shut up!!!
Lulu: If you ask me, this first chapter was just a waste of time. And Chapter two's no better
Aldedron: I'm not done yet, you little BRAT! *scoff* And I spent hours imagining this whole story, too...
Lulu: Then make it worthwhile
Aldedron: I'm working on it!
Lulu: Really? Then why are you typing this imaginary conversation instead of the story??
Aldedron: *dark* You...
Aldedron: I do not own Blood+
Lulu: Who're you talking to?? You're starting to freak me out, Aldedron...
Aldedron: The readers, stupid.
Lulu: What do they care? Everyone already knows Blood+ was made by some production whose name escapes me. Not some random person named Aldedron...
Aldedron: *sigh*...
