[color=gold][i]No...Must..Must stay awake...[/i][/color] As the pain intensified Autumn could feel her consciousness fading away bit by bit. She couldn't! She had to stay strong! She gasped for breath, tears still coursing down her red cheeks. She could do this, she had to. For father. This was all for father! The image of his face was slipping away and she tried to grasp onto it desperately but it fell away and all that was left was unimaginable pain. Her head lulled forward, the tears dripping to the ground below her feet. Suddenly the circle faded away, the tendrils disappearing. Autumn dropped to the ground like a stone, crying out hoarsely when she hit the unforgiving ground harshly. Her head struck a rock partially sticking out of the ground as she landed. She laid there, dazed, in pain and bleeding from a head wound. She tried to make her limbs move but they were unresponsive, the muscles still twitching in the after effects of the pain.
