Crystal coughed again, her hands in front of her mouth. She couldn't stop the blood. The people she had aided were asking her what was wrong, but in all honesty she had no idea.
"I do have a place to stay. With Mr. Angry Brandybuck," Crystal made out before she started coughing once more. The fit of coughing brought more blood out of her mouth. She showed her hands to Hama and blinked furiously, her world started caving into darkness.
"Tell Angry that I love him," Crystal said before her eyes rolled back and she started falling towards the ground.
The deep blackness held her, but she fought. Her mind kept moving like a fish upstream.
Her eyes flittered back open as she held on to the life that she could feel was trying to leave her.
"Angry?" Crystal asked, her unseeing eyes darting around the room. She couldn't see nor hear anyone that surrounded her.
A trembling hand grasped the necklace around her neck. The once beautiful metal was covered in her blood, glistening like an unspoken prophecy of what was to come.
