"You guys have been fucking bickering for the past couple of minutes." Marcus spat

"What do you want love?" Milo gently brushed his fingers against Rhea's skin.

"I want you guys to stop arguing." She coughed

"I'm serious, love." His voice sounded worried

"Let me heal you and that'll all be over." He bit his wrist

Rhea coughed before speaking, moving her head away from his wrist leaving him slightly shocked.

"Rhea! What the fuck- do you want to die?" Malachi spat

"Don't fucking yell at her dumbass," Mak stepped in

"What is it?" Mak moved closer

Besides the prideful and independent perspective, Rhea also fears the consequences of what becoming a vampire would entail. She doesn't want to become something that may be considered unnatural or to have an eternal life that may be filled with pain and suffering.

She also doesn't want to become something that is controlled by her instincts or cravings, and she wants to remain in control of herself.

And she knew she'd be a danger to the people she loved.

"I cannot, I'm- sorry." Rhea coughed

Malachi punched the wall with anger spooking Rhea as she lay on the hospital bed.

"I just can't-

"You don't need to explain yourself, love." Milo comforted her

Rhea can hear the sound of her breath, a raspy and weak breath that is getting more and more frantic. She knows she is losing the battle, and her survival is becoming less likely with every breath she takes.

The brothers surround Rhea, sensing her declining state with their enhanced vampire senses. They can feel her weakness and see her condition deteriorating by the minute. They exchange looks, fearing the worst and wondering if they will lose their beloved Rhea.

"Speak Rhea, so we know you're still here," Marcus said

Rhea's voice is weak but soft and loving, as she tries to convey her feelings to the brothers and her family.

"I love all of you."

"No, you're not dying- you got this you're strong." Marcus held Rhea's hand

"Stop." She coughed out

"Fuck this." Malachi rushed over to Rhea biting into his wrist causing blood to spill.

He forced and shoved his wrist into Rhea's mouth. "Get the fuck off of her." Mak pushed Malachi away

"Stop!"
Rhea tries to move away as he suffocates her with his wrist

Mak and Milo push Malachi away from Rhea leaving leftover blood in her mouth. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" Milo spat at his brother

"Being the bad guy," He said nonchalantly

"Malachi- it's okay." Rhea coughed out

"It's not." Mak glances his brother a cold glare

A tear trails down her cheek as she knows the end is near and she will likely not get to tell her family this herself.

"Please, tell my family that I love them, and take care of them for me, especially Rafe- he'll need the love." she ends her speech, her voice fading into silence.

"Rhea?" They all called

Silence.

"Rhea!?"

Silence.

The monitor shows that Rhea's heart has suddenly stopped beating and a flatline is now displayed on the screen. The doctors and nurses are in a state of panic, rushing into the room and trying to resuscitate Rhea as soon as possible.

"I can't fucking watch this." Marcus rushed out the door

They begin giving her CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), attempting to restore her heartbeat and breathing with each compression of her chest. They continue to try for a few more minutes and hope desperately that she will survive the emergency.

Mak cannot believe what he has just heard. The doctors are telling him that Rhea is gone, that there's nothing they can do to bring her back, and he feels his anger and frustration boiling over.

His knuckles go white as he squeezes his fists tightly and tears fall from his eyes. His jaw is clenched and he feels a sense of rage and injustice.

He lashes out at the doctors, asking them what they have done to try and save her life, claiming they didn't do enough to help her and accusing them of being incompetent.

"Help her now."

"We're trying!" The doctors yelled

The doctors try one last time to revive Rhea's heart with the defibrillator. The device sends an electric shock through her body, causing her heart to jolt and her body to twitch.

The doctors all watch as she jolts violently and watch the monitor for any sign of life,

No sign of life.

"Get the fuck out," Mak yelled at the doctors

The recently compelled doctors did as they were told, "I'm sorry Rhea but I can't bear seeing you like this."

Mak carried Rhea's lifeless body and jumped out of the hospital's window- landing on his feet.

"what are you going to do with her body?" Marcus said from behind me

I turned around seeing the three of my brothers standing there glaring.

"Taking her home," I said trying to walk away

"It should've been you, Mak," Malachi said-making me turn around.

"She was only eighteen" he continued

"I told her to stay behind me." My voice starts to break

"You still made her go out there, I had it," Malachi said

"Did you though? We had to save your ass for the second time." I replied back

"It's not my fault that my sweet Rhea was brave." My eyes start to water

Malachi was silent, his fists starting to clench.

"So where are you taking the body?"

"Body!? This is fucking Rhea." I corrected him

"I'm taking her to her family, are you guys coming?" I waited for a response

Silence.

I sighed before walking again still holding on to Rhea's lifeless body as she weighed nothing to me- closing her eyes shut with the touch of my hand. "Sweet dreams my love," I whispered

I heard footsteps behind me knowing that my brothers were following.

"We're coming," Milo said with a smile on his face.

"We're Taking her home."
