Chapter 19: Delusion

I feel lighter. There is an upward surge of air and a gust of wind. Then more and more air rushes past me. Wait...am I moving…? Why am I moving?

"Are you okay?" I cannot be okay. Clearly, I have gone mad. The searing pain must have driven me insane because it is his voice that I am hearing, muffled...but his voice nonetheless. I would know his voice anywhere and regardless of the circumstances. Perhaps, my subconscious is giving me one last chance to say goodbye. I should not waste it.

"I love you," I moan, almost as a reflex. It felt so odd saying it so casually now, considering that I have only said it to him once aloud before now.

"I love you too," the figment of my deranged mind responds. It sounds so much more natural coming from him. He has said it to me several times. I feel warmer suddenly, but in a good way. "We have to get you somewhere a lot less sunny, Princess," the figment continues. He sounds more urgent. As if he is worried about me. I did not know my subconscious was...so...strong. I feel his arms cradling me. I rest my head against his shoulder and place my hand on his chest. I hope this delirium never ends.

I smell him now, clearly. My senses are beginning to return in earnest. The first to return in full was the last to go...smell, glorious smell. The smell of him drives my mind through a bevy of images from our shared past. The night we met. The night that he opened my eyes to my sheltered vampire life. The night that I kissed him, when we acknowledged our mutual feelings...

"Mm," I could not prevent myself from moaning aloud. It is a pitiful moan; half pain from my burns, and half pleasure from my memories of our first kiss and every delightful snog that followed. I sigh, realizing that we'll never be together again.

"Stay with me, Angel." The figment has resorted to pleading now. "Rest…I'll take care of you, Love."

The figment continues to sound more and more like my Nathan. His voice soothes me. I smile, I think. I comply with his request. Best to succumb to this delirium than fight against the death that surely awaits me. I will miss him. I hope that he finds a way to get out of this. He deserves so much better from this life. Everything slips into darkness. Goodbye, my little wo...
