Gadiel stumbled towards Medina, grabbing her by the shoulders. He could feel her body shaking with fear, her eyes wide as blood flowed out of them. The floor under him was shaking, shuddering, making it difficult to stand still.

"You can fight it!" he yelled at her. "You're stronger than her!"

Medina's face twisted into a painful smile.

"Please," she whispered. "Just go."

Gadiel felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to find Tarik looking at him sadly.

"We have to go," he said quietly. "She's already giving it all she can."

"We can't just leave her!"

"If we don't, we'll all die!"

"I refuse to accept that!" Gadiel yelled. He turned back to Medina.

"Too...late..." Medina gasped, "Please...end..."

"No!" said Gadiel, grabbing onto Medina's shoulders. "We're all gonna get out of this alive!"

Medina's face twisted into a wide, maniacal grin.
