Chapter Fourty-Five: For Whom The Bell Tolls
Connor's POV
"You can't do that!"
"We can, Connor. Don't have any regrets... it was only a matter of time before we took her out of the equation."
Tasha?!
No...
"You — Stay away from her!"
"We won't be the ones harming her." Amanda smiled, before disappearing.
I have to get to Tasha.
I have to get to her!
CyberLife will kill her!
I'll kill her!
Connor pulled himself along the cold ground towards the glowing statue.
Please!
She can't die!
As he began to feel himself coming back to reality, Connor felt like his entire system was going to fail.
*BANG*

Tasha's POV
"Connor, what are you—" He was raising his gun, slowly pointing it towards Markus as if he was being controlled by something...
Or someone...
CyberLife.
It was a split second decision. A single moment in time that would change my life forever.
Do I save Markus who can bring peace to the world by unifying the Deviants and humans to become one, at the risk of my own life? Or do I let him die? Do I let CyberLife win?
No.
CyberLife will never win.
There was no question. But it still broke my heart because I knew what my choice would cost.
It will cost me everything.
I stepped in front of the gun, closing my eyes as I felt a sharp pain go through my body.
Everything.
Connor eye's focussed and he dropped the gun, his eyes blinking a few times before focussing.
"Tasha....?" He was confused, his eyes widened with fear as realization hit him.
"NO!"
Connor's POV
Tasha fell back, Connor was barely able to grab her before she fell against the ground.
"No! Tasha! No!"
The others began to surround them, Markus standing on her other side. "What happened?!"
"I— I shot her..." Connor's voice broke as tears streamed down his face, he looked at Tasha whose skin was becoming paler each moment. "I shot her!"
"Connor— it's okay—" Tasha gasped for breath, "It wasn't... it wasn't your fault, darling... I'll be okay..."
Connor analyzed her, his body going cold.
Chance of Survival
0.5%
No.
No, this can't be happening!
"You're gonna be okay." Connor forced a smile as he laid her on the ground, pushing his hands against her wound to try to stop the blood. "You'll be fine! W—we're gonna get you help, okay?"
"Connor — I love you."
"Don't— Don't." His voice broke, "Please just... just hold on." Connor said as he put his hands against the wounds harder, his hands covered in her dark red blood that continued to flow from her wound. "Just a little while longer — we can save you."
"I love you so much," She laughed, tears falling down her face. "Take care of Hank for me. Promise me, Connor. Please."
Her breathing was becoming shallow, the light in her eyes slowly dimming. "I promise, Tasha. I promise. But you're going to be okay, my love. I love you, please don't go."
She reached her hand up, touching his face, smiling at him.
"I love you, Connor... I love... you..."
Tasha gasped as her body shook slightly in his embrace, tears falling down her face. "I'm so scared, Connor..."
"Don't be scared, my love. You're going be okay." Connor held her hand to his face, looking into her eyes as he began to sing to her, the only thing he knew could calm her.
"Hold on just a little while longer.
Hold on just a little while longer.
Hold on just a little while longer.
Everything will be alright.
Everything will be alright."
The androids joined in, all surrounding them as they continued to sing. Connor was crying, his whole body shaking as he held onto her.
"Thank... thank you." Tasha smiled, the tears had stopped and her breathing was shallow. "Connor I-"
"You'll be okay, my love." Connor said, pressing his lips to her hand. "You'll be okay."
The last thing Connor saw was her smile fading as her head fell back, her breathing coming to a halt and her eyes held no light at all — completely void of life.
"No... no!"
"Wake up!" Connor shook her lifeless body.
"Wake up!" He sobbed, pulling her to his chest.
"Please, please don't go! Please, Tasha, please!"
