Lift if from the darkness
And make your heart sing
Chapter 12: Clinging onto Faith
As suddenly as the EVAC sound was ordered it shut off, and Vala could hear med teams being called to all corners of the city. The Asuran attack had been defeated and she fumbled for her radio while she tried to find Daniel's pulse.
"Carson?" Vala called as she got her radio working. "Carson can you hear me?"
"I'm here lass." He answered. "What's wrong?"
"It's Daniel." She answered breathlessly. "He's unconscious, near the gateroom and I can't find a pulse..."
"I'll be right there lass."
oOo
She watched silently as Carson Beckett, the good doctor of Atlantis ran to her fiancée's side and started shouting orders to the other nurses and doctors who had accompanied him. Vala also watched as Daniel, her Daniel was lifted onto the stretcher and wheeled away him towards the infirmary.
"Vala…"
The voice calling her was soft and concerned and Vala whirled around to see Dr. Elizabeth Weir at her side and before she knew it she was being guided through the labyrinth of Atlantis towards the observation room above the surgery area where her Daniel was being wheeled into.
They came to the glass room and Elizabeth guided the younger female towards the windows so she keep a watchful eye on her fiancée as Carson worked on him. She was about to turn and leave when Vala turned and spoke.
"Dr. Weir…" Vala began, the vulnerability in her voice catching Elizabeth unawares.
"Yes Vala?"
"Is he going to die?" Vala asked, tears forming in her eyes as she turned away from Elizabeth and back to Daniel.
"I don't know…" Elizabeth answered honestly, coming to stand back at the side of the young women who had infused Atlantis with so much light in the past six months. "…but Carson is the best doctor we have in Pegasus- maybe even in both galaxies…if anyone can save him- he can."
"I just- I can't lose him…" Vala murmured quietly as she leaned against the glass and stared down at Daniel who was obscured by about half- a- dozen physicians. "…he means too much to me, and I've done too much to save him…"
"I understand," Elizabeth stated with a sympathetic nod as she placed a comforting hand on Vala's shoulder. "-but you have to have faith, for him."
"Faith…"
The word seemed so harsh, no un-natural in her mouth and in her mind as well. She turned to Elizabeth to tell her that she had lost her faith when suddenly her vision clouded and she fell to the ground.
