Not connected to the "After" series. More just a random thought I had after Jiaying nearly killed Skye.

And no, I don't own them.

Skye still isn't back after Lincoln and I finish with the red heads. I'm sure she'll need a moment if she really did have to take out Jiaying. I should give her that, but I just need to find her and make sure she's okay.

I make my way through the ship to the top deck. I take a deep breath and prepare myself to do whatever my girl needs me to do for her. I open the door and I'm met with a scene I couldn't have expected.

Cal is holding the lifeless body of Jiaying, sobbing hysterically. I do believe he really did love her, and my heart breaks for him.

And Skye? Skye is facedown on the deck, hardly moving. I slowly make way to her, careful not to disturb Cal. I wonder what happened.

I move to her side and roll her on to her back. Her face is ashen and waxy, Her eyes are open but unseeing. Her lungs are trying to take in air in strangled gasps, but I don't think she's actually breathing.

Her body is rigid and twitching. Trying not to panic I press my fingers to her neck to feel for a pulse that isn't there. Fighting the urge to lose it completely I move her jacket and run my hand up her T-shirt to the spot just over her heart, I can feel it struggle and twitch irregularly against my palm. My girl is dying, she is fighting it but she's going to need some help to hold on.

I try to calm myself enough to call on first aide training. She's not lost to me yet. Her body is struggling to hold on and her heart is struggling to beat. I can't just let this girl go.

I need a defibrillator.

I know there is an AED and a first aide kit on the other side of the door but I can't leave her alone in this state.

"Cal!" I yell. At first it goes unnoticed.

"Cal!" I yell again, more desperate this time. He finally looks up.

"Cal, she's dying, I need to get a first aide kit, but you need to stay with her."

His eyes snap into focus and he gently lowers the dead body of his wife to the deck. He moves to me almost with predatory like movements.

"Daisy?" He questions.

"Oh God what has Jiaying done to you?"

Jiaying did this? Jiaying did this to her own daughter?

He moves to Skye's side and begins to check her over as well. The look on his face tells me it's just as bad as I thought. He glances at me just long enough to tell me to go.

Moments later I return and Cal is in full medical mode, I can see it's his way of trying to stamp down the same panic I'm feeling.

Skye's eyes are now closed and the strangled gasps are fewer and further between, she only has a few moments left. I'm not prepared to lose her. I'm not prepared for any of this.

I watch Cal as he expertly and quickly sets the pads across our girls chest and waits for that little green line to indicate there is some hope left that we're not too late to save her.

I hear him tell me she's in some medical term I don't quite understand but I need to stand back so he can shock her. I watch in horror as a shock is sent. Her body convulses and drops back to the ground, still the erratic line on the heart monitor doesn't change. Cal tries again, this time her body convulses drops and is entirely too still. No strangled breaths, no spasms, nothing.

Then one continuous high pitched beep.

Her heart gives up the fight.

My biggest fear is realized and my girl lies dead on the deck of the ship.

"No!" Cal roars.

"Daisy don't do this to us, we just got you back."

He turns to me then. "I need you to breathe for her. I'm going try CPR."

I can't bring myself to tell him or even really think that we're too late so I nod and drop to her head, tilting it back and breathing life back into the girl who I love more than anything in this life. How could her mother have done this to her? Who does this to their own daughter?

I'm being punished for Bahrain, that's what this is. It's karma, and I'm going to have live with what I've done, and now I'm going to have to live without Skye.

Cal pumps her heart rhythmically and I continue to breathe for her. After a few rounds of compressions I know we've lost. Tears are running down Cal's face, and I can see my own dripping on Skye's. It's not until a tiny blip on the monitor that I realize the fight isn't over. Cal notices too. It's weak at first, still erratic but there is definitely movement.

Cal watches for a moment, trying to determine our next move based off what her heart is trying to do.

Finally he turns to me

"We'll need to shock her again." He tells me.

I cringe but move back, watching as another shock rips trough her battered body. Everything stills for too a long moment.

Finally I hear it, a slow and not quite steady beeping. But a heartbeat all the same.

She's still not breathing so I begin to breathe for her again, filing her lungs as best I can until her body begins to takeover. We need to get back to the jet and we need to get her to Simmons and our medical team.

She lies unconscious on the ground her heart still struggling, but she's holding on for now.

And for now I haven't lost her.
