'No, no, stay with me! Stay with me!'
I could hear her but I couldn't respond, I barely felt the pain that was spreading through my bones as I lay there bleeding out in her arms. Moments later I felt her little trembling hands press against my wound, her panic rising as I tried to keep my eyes open but my eyelid were getting heavy and were no longer co-operating with me. I couldn't hear her words anymore, only her voice as she chanted something over and over again. I wanted to take one last look at her, say one last that thing to her but I only managed to do one. I got a glimpse of the beauty of her face for a millisecond before my eyes slid shut and stayed shut.
Although I was possibly on the verge of taking my very last breath, I was still fighting to live. I had one last thing to do.
