carpe diem // alaska day 3

[Danny]

When the daylight comes do you feel it
Leave your bag of bones underneath your bed
Everything is as it should be
I'm leaving now as I should be
No way, no way

You are running but there is no exit. The walls trap you and encave you and all you can see is the darkening sky above you. Time is running out. As you get further into the maze, you can't tell where you've been and where you need to go, but it's been like this sense your mom died. The labyrinth is surely ending soon, and so are you. No prevalent exit is visible, so you keep trekking on, wishing you had the strength to climb over the walls. Maybe then, while seeing by a new perspective, you could find the exit, but maybe that would count as cheating. The thing is, Alaska, you dragged Cygnus in here with you. And Dragan, and Almar, and Vitani, and Bran, and Curtis. And even though you deny it, you know the only way to get out of the labyrinth is to only worry about yourself. You frantically feel around you to make sure everything is okay, to make sure you're still in the labyrinth.

Time slows down, and you thought you saw Curtis just in front of you, carrying Bran away, turning at a corner. But no, because when you get there, they're nowhere to be found. Above you, a ticking noise sounds, and you know what it is. It's a bomb, because the capitol wants death, and there have been none of those today, so it's your turn. Slowly, the bomb falls. As it gets closer, you realize it's not one but thousands of ticking, fused explosives all drifting like a feather towards you, and you can't do anything. They say your life flashes before your eyes right before you die, but all you saw was a bug crawl on the floor when the bombs hit.

Wait. It's a parachute. And... and inside is a syringe. And everything starts coming back to you, and you realize what this is. Antivenom. The needle looks sharp, but you can conquer it. You pull it out, and place the top of the needle onto your beaten arm, and then you push. Cringing, the antivenom enters through your veins, but you know it'll be okay, everything will be okay.

[[ooc: alaska uses antivenom.]]
