Now

It reality, it took her 3 minutes and 45 seconds to die. If she had known, she would of smiled at the 345 order. Precise and easy, like herself. However, at the time, Quil believed herself to have been dying for hours, not mere minutes. Her mind ran through her life, thoughts, memories and hopes in almost a mere 4 minutes.

2 minutes later

“Doug, Quil’s not responding to me!” fast footsteps “I can’t get to her either Tam! Got the sniper yet?!” huffed breaths, the sounds of someone running down a flight of stairs “Yeah, areas clear, Quil, d’ya read that?” Silence.

3 hours, 2 minutes, 23 seconds ago

“This mission will be easy, no sweat” Doug chuckled as Quil paced, her grey eyes anxious “Something’s going wrong, I can feel it” she muttered to herself, but Tam over heard. “Quit being negative! We’ve done this before, and we’ll be fine! Not like any of us are gonna die” Quil sighed as she kept her pacing up, playing with a flick knife absently “Quil, we’ll be back here in 4 hours, laughing at this, I swear”

12 minutes later

“Quil, you have to wake up!” “Tam, she…she’s gone” Tam shook her head violently, shaking Quil some more, until Doug grabbed her shoulders. “Tam. Let her go…let her rest peacefully. She deserves that” sobbing silently, Tam lay Quil back down, shaking her head. “She knew this! She said she felt something was up, and we laughed at her!” Tam sobbed angrily, and Doug knelt by her, giving her a soft hug. “Hey, she didn’t know she was going to die…if she did, why did she make all those plans with that new girl of hers? She thought we were going to make a mistake…not death. She would of told us that”

3 minutes, 45 seconds ago

Quil heard her comrades talking to her, trying to get her to help them, but she’d done her last piece. She’d taken the others sniper shot, so they could see where he was. This was her finale. This is my moment, was all she thought as she died.

Exactly 25 years ago

“It’s a beautiful baby girl, Mrs De Fairet…any names?” “Rosylia”
Maybe confusing, ask if it doesn't make sense.
