Give Your Heart A Break~ Part 2 (CRYSTAL!)

[moonlightnightmare]

Screaming. That's what she was doing, soundlessly screaming. Rivyn wanted to reach out and touch him. Damnit, why not?

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre sat back down beside her while Noelle worked. She took Rivyn's pulse, felt her forehead, bent her head down to listen to her heartbeat.

[moonlightnightmare]

Ophelia came running back in with the med kit and, prayed that she found Rivyn in time for them to actually be able to fix her.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Noelle cleaned Rivyn's forearm with alcohol and then gave her a shot. "Come on, sweetie, wake up," she said. She shone a light in her eyes, but there was no response. Something was definitely wrong.

[moonlightnightmare]

The only response she gave was a heavy cough that jerked her body from the bed.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre grabbed Rivyn and rested her head back down on the pillow. He held her down while Noelle tried something new. "This is bad," she muttered. "I've never seen anything like this."

[moonlightnightmare]

"It might be the blood. All of the different DNA alterations must be fighting for control, and instead of letting them, her body is rejecting it."Ophelia suggested, "And in that case, it is bad...Very bad."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"What do we do?" Diandre asked, his golden eyes blazing. Noelle started, seeming to notice them for the first time. She didn't comment on them, though. "I don't know, Diandre," she said calmly. "We just have to hope her body wins the battle."

[moonlightnightmare]

Ophelia leaned in close to him and whispered, "Give her something to cling to. A reason to win."And with that the girl walked off, heading back to her room.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre watched her go, and then shook his head. Things like that only worked in novels. Even if Rivyn knew he loved her... it wouldn't save her now. She would have to do it on her own.

[moonlightnightmare]

Rivyn didn't move. She coughed again, and at least she had her senses back. She could see him, she could move, only a little bit to try to touch him. "H-hurts."She whispered, coughing again.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I know," Diandre whispered. Despite himself, he took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "It will be okay. You can fight through this."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Stop it...M-make it stop..."Rivyn's voice broke, her blood practically boiled under her skin. Making her skin blaze with heat. She was scared, and it was hard to breathe. She hated this feeling.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Rivyn, I'm going to give you something for the pain," Noelle said. She grabbed a strong painkiller from the kit and injected it into the girl's arm. It was enough that it should have knocked her out.

[moonlightnightmare]

Rivyn found the world around her growing dark quickly and she fell unconscious, still gripping onto Diandre's hand no matter how weakly.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"That should at least keep her from the pain," Noelle said. "While we figure out how to help her."

[moonlightnightmare]

Rivyn was back to being out of it again, she didn't like this. Not at all.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Sit with her," Noelle told Diandre. "She needs you." Then she stood up and packed up her med kit. "Call me if she gets any worse."

[moonlightnightmare]

One thing Rivyn hated...She couldn't actually sleep. She just couldn't. So though her mind had told herself she was, she wasn't. She could still hear everything. She did need him. She needed him a lot.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre sat quietly beside her, staring at her face. "What have you gotten me into?" he murmured, reaching over to brush a lock of hair away from her face.
