sora steals his own life fic

"Shit," Sora grasped at Dani's shirt, trying to stem the bleeding. But the enemy's claws had cut deep -- too deep -- and the blood poured out like a spring. Dani groaned, her words an incomprehensible jumble.

"Shit, just don't worry," Sora took off his cape and pressed it against the wound, trying to stem the bloodflow. Red blood soaked into the yellow fabric, and soon it was sopping. Dani's eyes drifted closed as she made a pained noise. Sora looked around in desperation - but the Land of Mist and Mystery was barren of life. No enemies remained, not after their last battle.

Sora swallowed at the lump at his throat, looking down at Dani. "No way, no way... they trusted me with you, you can't just..."

His desperation fueled his powers, and Sora sensed a flaring life source. /THAT'S YOU, MORON!/, the rational part of his brain screamed.

Sora only hesitated for a moment before he reached his hand towards his chest. Life's sigil flashed as his hand seemed to penetrate his skin, and he grasped something he couldn't properly name. He thrust his clenched hand down into Dani's own chest, released his grip, and something flowed into her and out of him.

He'd stolen his own life, even as his rational mind tried to stop him.

Dani opened her eyes, feeling something slump against her. She looked down, and saw Sora, his face pale.

"Sora? What's wrong? Sora!"

"Dani..." Sora paused, tensed for a moment, and pressed on. "... I need you to take me somewhere... quickly..."

"What happened? What's wrong?"

Sora pointed North with a shakey hand, the way obscured by fog. "... hurry."
