I breathed deeply, allowing the smoke to the fill my lungs. My vision grew hazy, body dropping to the floor like a bowling ball. Weak, I struggled for air, coughing and wheezing something fierce. I looked up to see a figure staring down at me, gentle smile on her face. She was squatting next to me, looking like she just found a little kid who got a paper cut.

     I narrowed my eyes at her when she pet my hair. She knows I always hated that. What am I, a cat? 

     "Yeah, a copycat." Her voice was soft and distant, yet it was the only thing I could hear amongst the burning flames. Although I could barely muster a whisper, I hoped she could still read my mind like she used to. 

     "Yeah, we'll be together. Together in Hell."
