Response to Parisindy's challenge: Harper + Suffocating/ Difficulty Breathing
"Wait! NO!
Trance yelled, but it was too late. The bullet had ripped through the air and Beka stood transfixed, as the scene unfolded in front of her like a distant memory or a tv programme.
Finally, she forced herself back into reality and ran to where Trance stood over Harper. Rommie held her back.
"Trance is dealing with it, we shouldn't get in the way"
Ignoring her completely, she went to the other side of Harper.
"Harper?!"
She took a step back to let Trance work. She watched as Harper choked and coughed, struggling to breathe. Trance was already crying, and Beka stood up too sharply and immediately felt dizzy.
"You...you've already given up on him Trance..you already know you can't save him!! Harper!!!"
Rhade had taken the enemy out, and now returned, a concerned look on his face. When he heard Beka's words, he looked down on his friend painfully. Harper spluttered his last words.
"Trance...in... machine shop three...."
But he never got to finish the sentence, and Rommie turned to Dylan for support, Beka to Rhade, and Trance to her dead best friend, despite it covering her in blood.
