A/N: So I'm in a bit of a depressed mood... and I wrote a death!fic ;x

It features Erkanna dying, so you don't have to worry that much :)

I own nothing except my OC's: Erkanna & co. :)

She didn't fell anything. She didn't scream, nor cry. It felt as if time froze. Everything was happening in slow-motion. She heard the gun being shot, and at that moment she knew she was done for. She felt something small pierce itself into her back, just to go through her and make a hole milliseconds later. She could hear someone yelling her name. It felt like a dream, or a nightmare. She felt herself slipping, she fell on her knees It was getting hard for her to breath. She touched the bullet hole. The blood that streamed out was warm. She knew she wasn't going to make it.

She saw a pair of dark figures approach her fast as she started falling to the ground, face first.

Someone turned her on her back, someone shouted her name.

"Era! Hold on, you're going to be okay! JUST HOLD ON!" she could make out Steve's yell.

But she knew she was as good as dead. The bullet must have hit one of the major arteries, the blood was flowing constantly, and Erkanna Gamble could feel life being drained out of her.

It hurt to breathe, and her vision was getting blurry. She wasn't crying, was she? No, a droplet hit her eye. It started to rain.

There were no more gunshots to be heard. They won.

Ah, well...

You could say the won, but did they really? She screwed up. Again.

At least she left them a letter. Maybe they'll read it. Or maybe they'll never open it.

She knew that sooner or later her actions would get her to that point.

She just didn't realize it would be that soon.

She couldn't make out any more words, but she knew that someone was speaking to her, someone else was yelling into a comm for the damn medical team to hurry up.

She closed her eyes. It was no use fighting. She felt herself losing consciousness.

"Well, I guess that's it." was her last though.

Later that day, Hawkeye opened the crumpled envelope with shaking hands to find a small letter inside, with Erkanna's familiar scribbles on it. He read it aloud to the rest of his team.

I'm writing this to all of you, just in case I die and I won't be able to say goodbye.

When you die, you realize that all your memories are just going to shatter... No one's going to remember... And all those moments will be lost in time... like tears in the rain.

Make sure that yours won't. Make sure, that you live to the fullest, and that you don't regret anything at the end, like I do. Just make sure... Now I'm repeating myself, aren't I?

Just remember that...

You're alive. Live.

He read the last sentence with a shaky voice. They could practically hear Era's voice in their heads.

A/N: I guess that's it... I know, I suck at stories like this ;c But I'm practicing :3

Cookies for anyone who can spot a Movie reference and a song reference in there :)
