Crystal couldn't contain the coughs that were coming more rapidly now. She coughed, blood spurted out into her hands. She looked at them in horror and looked around for something to wipe them off on. She just couldn't let anyone see. She looked around frantically, but she couldn't find anything. She sat there with her hands out, not know exactly what to do.
Hama would find out. So would Angry now that she was sick. She hadn't wanted this. She wanted to be healthy. She had wanted to pretend that she was alright. She wanted a new beginning. She had finally found herself here, she didn't want to die.
But thoughts of dying, thoughts of seeing her mother and Arty again flew through her mind. Memories of her life began to flash. She just couldn't die now. Not when she had finally found the Shire, found Angry, found happiness once again. She didn't want to loose it. Everytime she became just a wee bit happy she lost it everytime and she didn't want that to happen now.
