Clarity ~ Zedd feat. Foxes
•••

Tasha coughed as the smoke entered her system, the embers hot against the ground as she trudged her way through the crumbling ship. She could hear grunting from a room that the door seemed jammed in. She noticed a small ledge she could wedge herself through. Taking a final, deep breath she hoisted herself up, rolling into the room behind her.

High dive into frozen waves
Where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain
And it's worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash
'Cause we both know how this ends
Our clock ticks till it breaks your glass
And I drown in you again

Tasha coughed, the fire having started from the current room. As she scrambled to her feet she squinted through the smoke. It was then she realized Nathan and Rafe were swordfighting — and Rafe looked ready to kill, while Nate was dodging the incoming attacks.

"Tash!" Sam called out, coughing from the ground. Tasha rushed over to him, her appearance still unseen by the fighting men. She knelt in front of him, looking at the wood holding him down.

"Shit, Sam! What — what's going on?!" She asked, trying to grab onto the wood that kept wanting to slip from her grasp.

"You need to get outta here!" He coughed ciolently. "It's not safe—"

Tasha let out a cry as she tried to lift the log, but no matter how hard she tried she could barely lift it from the ground. "Fuck!"

'Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity

"Rafe!" She called to him, her voice broken as her entire body shook. "Stop!"

"Rafe— for fuck sakes!" Nathan groaned as he pushed Rafe away. "Listen to me! Tasha needs you— She's unstable — Jesus, Rafe!"

Rafe ignored his comments, cutting Nate's arm with a terrifying smirk.

'Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why

"Rafe! Please!" Tasha begged, finally gaining his attention as his eyes turned to her. "We can go home!"

"I lost everything because of this!" Rafe replied. "I lost you!"

"You haven't lost me! I'm still here!"

"I lost you the second I decided to keep going after the treasure." He grumbled, taking another swing at Nate.

If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity

"Rafe, please!" Tasha pointed her gun at him, begging him to stop. Her hand shook as he finally faced her completely.  "Please! Don't do this!"

"What, are you gonna shoot me, Tash? Will you shoot the man you love oh so much?" He asked, no anger left in his voice, almost a hint betrayal and hurt instead. "Hmm, sweetheart?"

Why are you my remedy?

"No." Tasha replied, tears falling down her face as she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. Turning the gun on herself, she pointed it between her abdomen and chest.

"Tasha, don't!" Sam and Nate cried at her.

Why are you my remedy?

Tasha pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. She glared at Nate who had slipped his hand up just in time to put the safety on. He quickly grabbed the gun from her hand, pushing Tasha to the ground as he began to fight once again with Rafe who seemed almost unaffected by Tasha's near suicide — except for in some moments his eyes would dart to her struggling form on the ground as she cried for him to stop.

Why are you my clarity?

Tasha sobbed as she shakily got to her feet, coughing violently from the smoke being inhaled every moment they were stuck there. She screamed at Rafe to stop, but her words were drowned out by minute explosions. Rafe ended up getting hold of her gun, pointing it towards Nathan.

"Well, I guess this is it, Nate."

*bang*

If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?!
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?!
