"My Queen, hold on!"

As Zendaya's life hung in the balance, the pain coursing through her body was nearly unbearable. Every breath was a struggle, and her energy waned with each passing moment. Laura refused to give in to despair. Through the fading link they shared, the wolf's voice whispered soothingly in Zendaya's mind, the connection a lifeline that transcended the physical realm.

"My Queen, hold on," Laura implored, her voice a steadfast beacon of hope. "Cassiel will come. I can feel it. He is on his way and will save you from this darkness. We must stay strong, together."

Zendaya's eyes fluttered weakly as she looked at Laura, a small smile of gratitude touching her lips. "You've always been there for me, Laura. I'm sorry for putting you through this."
