Present Day

Arina

I can't move. I can't even breathe properly. My head hurts, my hands cramping from being clenched into fists, holding the bedsheets. My head starts pounding, throbbing. I gasp, my eyes opening wide.

"Make this stop! Please! I can't keep seeing this. I'll go crazy. I'll lose my mind..." I whisper into the darkness.

"Legolas. Adar. Icy. Lethon! Please. I need you all."

The only thing I hear is silence. My heart drops, and I begin to sob, breaking down, losing the nonchalant facade I had held up for weeks.

I cry, pain wracking my tired body. My heart is breaking. I can feel it. Soon, I will give up. I never thought I would, I always thought I was strong.

But I am not.

I am weak.

And I am dying.
