Bleeding Out
[Artist: Imagine Dragons]
Of all the people who could have killed her, she had never expected it to be him.
Fuchsia stained her shirt, the blood spilling quickly from her abdomen. She would be dead in a matter of minutes, and no one would be there to kiss her back to life.
Feferi supposed that, at a time like this, she was supposed to reminisce. To recount all the things she regretted and all the things she was grateful for. But as her head fell to the side, she caught sight of Sollux with her dimming vision, and she realized there'd been too much good in her life to regret much.
She wasn't afraid to die. With a blood caste like hers, death shouldn't have caught up with her for thousands of sweeps more, but dying like this. . . To avenge someone else. . . It was definitely the best way to go.
He'd been there for her, Sollux had. He'd been supportive and understanding. Through the chaos of the game and everything they'd lost, he'd been what kept her going. He'd told her to hang on time and time again, assured her they would get through this even when she knew he was doubting the fact himself. So much had changed since the start of this adventure.
Feferi's body convulsed suddenly as blood continued to spill from her side.
She kept her eyes on him. Only the red lens of his glasses remained intact. Her eyelids grew heavier until she could no longer hold them open. With one last gaze at Sollux, she closed them, allowing darkness to wash over her. It was all for him, not because of him. She didn't blame any of them anymore, not even Eridan.
She smiled faintly with the last of her strength as she felt her soul slipping away. She was bleeding out for someone worth it.
