This was hell inpersonated. Laster ran back and forward behind them, desperate in finding a cure that would stop the cure within Max blood. And Logan, he was panicking within. But he had to calm down, he had to help Max. He just had to, no matter what the cost.

Logan tried to steady her body and succeded as her body didn't shake as much and then he tried talking to her, giving her something to focus on. She had to survive this, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do. A life without Max....no, he wasn't even gonna go there.

"Max, can you hear me?" As he saw her nod he felt somewhat better Atleast he knew that she wasn't totally gone then. "Max, I want you to listen carefully. The cure is now finished with your cells and it's poisoning the rest of your body since there's still intact medecine within it. That's what's causing the pain but you have to focus. Look at me Max...." And she did. She looked into those wonderfull eyes of his. But why did she feel as if though this was one of the last times she did it? Something felt very wrong within her and she felt her heart get weaker and weaker...this wasn't happening to her. Not again.

"Max please....don't give up. Stay in the struggle. I've seen you done it so many times for less of a purpose than this, so please....stay with me." Logan was getting really emotional and felt his eyes tear up. Normally he would propably wipe those tears away within a second but right now he didn't give a damn. This was Max. Max had seen him do many things and knew his soul inside out as an open book. She had seen him cry, like now, over her. How could he even care the slightest bit about that when her life was at stake?

"Logan....getting weaker..." That was just about all that Max could get out of her soar throat right now, but Logan didn't demand for anything. He would do the talking and give her something to focus on for her sake. Then she could save some energy. He took her fragile hand in his covered hand and made her focuse on his eyes and listen to his somewhat desperate, although totally honest, words of truth.

"We've been through a lot together....joy, sorrow, laughs and cries together. And we've withstood them all. You've been the hope that has kept me up, the light that has outshone all other lights and the fuel to keep the fire of my soul burning. I've watched you die once and don't want to do it again. Please Max, don't give up....not now...."

Max felt a tear slide down her face as she smiled at the vulnerable state he was in. So open, so fragile yet honest. Those words were the most beautiful someone had ever spoken to her except from his " I love you " and she knew exactly what to say. She had to say it now, before her heart gave up. The only reason it still was beating was that she made it beat. And it beated for Logan.

"Logan.....I love you too...." And as she had said those words Logan watched in disbelief as her eyes closed and the life slipped out of his hands, as if he was blowing sand in the desert wind. Everything stopped then for Logan as he looked at her and actually saw the life in her put itself down. He heard the monitors in the background becoming one long, irritating beep but he didn't care.

This wasn't happening. Not to him again. Not to them again. She wasn't gone, she couldn't be. It was just some sick nightmare that he would wake up from and as he tried to reach to pinch himself he couldn't. He couldn't move 'cause it hurt so much. He just sat there, heartbroken as he watched the monitors telling him a lie he wouldn't belive. He couldn't...he wouldn't belive it even as Laster leaned over him screaming thats she was dead and then injecting something and then looking her over once again. But she was gone.

She was gone and those Forever Dark Eyes that were somebody's, honestly his, Angel had closed themselves never to be opened again....
