(Eagle Mountain- post S2)

The techno's knew that someday they were going to enter the city. It had been a dream for quite sometime. After, two years of solitude they were finally going become a force.

However, for right now they were just preparing. Their general Jay would often go to the city to check out information. The quiet teenager also enjoyed looking over at Eagle Mountain a place of peace- normally.

As he walked up the hill, he noticed there was a body on the ground- he then dashed over faster than he ever ran before like he was almost giving chase to a fast creature instead of coming over to a person. He went to feel a pulse- it was weak- he needed to help her.

"I need aid right now," he shouted his speaker holding her tightly- god he hoped whoever she was… she'd be okay.

(Days later)

Where was she? Why was it so dark? What was that ruckus in the background? Her eyes finally focused briefly towards two men talking in the background.

One with a worried expression directed at her, the other- well he looked totally blank- the indifference written so clearly on his face was a bit unnerving. He looked kind of scary to be honest. The other though, he was good looking, totally and utterly handsome. If she was not some invalid or in love with Bray- he might have been her guardian angel- she could have sworn by it. That great blonde hair and eyes… man what a charmer.

"Mega, go back to planning your revolution or whatever you were doing," Jay commanded noticing she was awakening.

Mega rolled his eyes and walked off- Jay was a goner as soon as he took over, no doubt in his mind.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Jay asked her bending down.

He was partially amazed that she could even get up let alone look at him. She looked so weak and near death. It was almost scary.

Danni moved her mouth to speak but struggled greatly after a minute she managed a reply, "p-p-ain"

"I know, you've been through a lot, but you're going to make it," Jay said to her.

Danni looked at him, "I-I just want it to end," she spoke softly.

Jay looked at her- was she crazy. The vitals from the men said that though there was a strong chance she was going die- that there was still hope. The fact that her eyes were open and she was talking to told him- she was going to get better.

She was crazy.

"I don't know who you are but you're going to be fine- look how well you're doing" he said looking at her.

Danni gave him sad eyes, "I-t hurt-s… please- do something! Please," she begged.

"I don't want to do that…?" Jay said slowly as well asking her a question.

"D-ann-i," she said

"Danni, that's a very nice name. I think you should give yourself a chance to get better," he replied.

"I wan-t- theeee pain to-o-o-o end," she said looking at him, "I don't want to rot any away- pro-mi-se me if I get wo-r-se that you'll help me," she pleaded.

Jay gave her a sad look- he would agree but he promised himself it was a last resort- he'd do anything he could to help her first.

"But only if you promise to first fight for me" he said in return.

(Three weeks later)

It was official, Danni was going to die. After that one day- she had put up such a fight to get better for him. She seemed to be getting better for a short while, and then if unplanned she slipped into a coma sometime a week ago. She had yet to get better. Mega had told him flat out that she was going to end up a vegetable for probably till the end of days if they left her that way.

Mega said they could starve her to death, or maybe shoot her but Jay had his own idea on how to handle it. He had promised her after all. A few promises to Ram- some hard trading, and some deals with Techno's now left him in that moment standing in front of her with a syringe and a needle.

He could not believe he was going to do this. He looked at her with tears in his eyes- this was perhaps the worst day since his girlfriend had died. He never wanted this to happen again. Not to anyone let alone some girl he just met but he had no choice. They did not have the medication of the old world to aid her. They only had so much and their best was not enough. He knew it was what she wanted and far better this way but all the same it was killing him inside. This was not something he'd recover from quickly.

Taking a deep breath and looked at her- brushing a strand of her hair out of her face with a said smile he kissed her forehead and smiled, "I hope whatever you're dreaming of is far better than this. That you're at peace and happy with whatever. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he said finally.

Without another word or thought Jay then watched in horror as he did the job and then watched her waste away.
