#bleeding out
There is this feeling I get after my heart breaks, metaphorically of course, I do know hearts are muscles and do not break, but when something that felt so real and so infinite ends, I cannot help but feel like my body is physically hurt.
It feels like my ribs are breaking, one after another, in different spots and they keep breaking and breaking, putting more and more pressure on my chest, making it impossible to breathe. I feel the air coming through my nose and never making it down my windpipe because it is being crushed by my chest collapsing into itself. There is sharp pain in my throat when air touches it and soon I cannot breathe at all. My eyes hurt, they are bloodshot, bleeding, blood dripping down my face onto the ground and it hurts. My body is shaking and there is no way to stop it, it moves with every inhale and exhale and even when my chest is broken down and barely gets air through, my body still shakes, my muscles keep cramping, contracting stronger and faster and at some point, my body does not handle it any more. It shuts down.
Then a new kind of pain begins. There is a headache I can feel right in the center of my forehead. It starts there, where the emotions are controlled, it starts where everything started to fall apart. If feels like every single cell there is shutting down, either dying or slowly burning to death. It almost feels like needles stabbing every single one of them, making the brain unable to control whatever is going on. It moves up and affects my thinking, making me believe there is nothing left for me in the world, making me believe, there is no plan, no future.The pain spreads to the top of my head, makes it unable to move, makes my whole body hurt again, all the ribs breaking, the body shaking, now it gets worse. It affects the vision and makes it even blurrier and all I see is him in front of me, everywhere I look and that hurts even more.
After my whole brain feels like it is bleeding out and being torn apart, the last part of brain starts to hurt. The little piece of where every perfect memory is stored, where memories of first dates, kisses, ‘I love you’s and so much more, live, that is the part that hurts the most. This little part is the main reason the whole brain is hurting, the only reason my body is breaking. The memory of perfect little moments of time we shared is why breakups make me think there is something physically wrong with me when it happens, because it does affect my whole body, it affects every cell that lives inside me and all of them start hurting at the same time.
Btw Whumpee isn’t a minor, Caretaker calls em kid just cuz. I don’t condone the whumping of actual children, just a disclaimer.
Whumpee felt their back hit the wall, felt their knees giving out, heard the tell-tale ringing in their ears. The ringing of a gunshot. They realized numbly. Their hands were still secured tightly behind their back, the zip ties so tight they were beginning to lose feeling in their finger tips.
“Shit!”
“How did you miss? They’re ten feet in front of you!”
Whumpee heard the two arguing, but it was far away, underwater. All they could focus on was the burning sensation that was bubbling up in their abdomen and the feeling that they were losing too much blood.
“They ducked! Caught me off guard.”
Whumpee felt eyes on them as the two looked over.
“What’s it matter? Gonna die anyway and it’s not like they can scream.” One knelt down in front of Whumpee, frowning. They were right. Even if they hadn’t gagged Whumpee, their throat felt closed completely. Like their vocal chords were already sealed shut in preparation for ‘dead men tell no tales.’
As if to prove their point, the first one dug the barrel of their gun into Whumpee’s stomach, into the bullet hole. Whumpee curled into themselves, mind screaming as they felt their skin splitting. But all that came out was a muffled whimper, eyes squeezed shut.
“Whatever. Just put ‘em out of their misery already. We gotta clean up all this blood, ain’t got time to just sit here and watch them die.”
“Okay.” They both rose as the first one pressed the gun against Whumpee’s forehead. “Whatever you say.”
Three shots rang out. Whumpee flinched, expecting the bite of a bullet. It never came. Instead, they felt gentle hands pulling the gag from their mouth and cutting through the plastic around their wrists.
They opened their eyes slowly, blinking. Caretaker was kneeling in front of them, eyebrows furrowed as they assessed the damage.
“Thanks.” Whumpee rasped.
“Ambulance is on the way. You’re gonna need to stay awake, okay kid?” Caretaker raised their brows and looked them in the eyes. “Can you do that for me?”
Whumpee smiled weakly and licked their lips to say, ‘‘sure think, boss’ or something but the words died in their throat. Their eyes were getting heavy, and they felt tired. It would be okay. They brought their hands up, reaching for Caretaker feebly before they slumped forward and their eyes rolled shut.
It would be okay.
“I’m seeing stars…”
“I know, A, that’s just the concussion. Keep describing where you are to me, you were doing so good.”
“No… stars… ones flashing red, there’s some moving and blinking. There’s a… UFO? Huh, looks like a radar dish.”
“He’s on the roof of…” B’s voice tapers off as they relay the location to someone nearby. Hope sparked in the back of A’s mind.
“Good job, A. Keep on talking to me, we’re on our way.”
“It’s all red.” A slurs, swiping a thick liquid from their face as more pours from a wound elsewhere. All they can see is red.
“Alright, don’t worry.” B sounds breathless, their thundering footsteps moving from the phone to being heard on the edge of A’s consciousness. “Keep on talking, alright?”

WaW Angstpril Day 30 - Bleeding Out
Warnings: lady whump, graphic depictions of violence, blood
Anaria hadn’t thought much about her death up until recently. She’d lived a sheltered life in the castle, she realized. Yes, she’d been prepared for battle, and taught magic, but death was not a thing that had truly occurred to her.
Not until now. Not until Hakur had captured her and tortured her and played with her. Now, she figured her death would be at the end of a blade, or worse, somehow - something gory and painful.
Pain was what she was lost in. He’d cut her right thigh open, right near the artery, and she was bleeding, bleeding bad.There was so much blood. It coated her leg, drenched the floor, seeped into her clothes. She was going to die this way, it seemed.
For@whumpawoman Angstpril day 9, 28, and 30
Prompt: Trapped, Bleeding out, and Too Late
~~~
She can hardly stand, her grasp on her side doing almost nothing to stop the steady flow of blood from the wound. It’s dripping to the ground, coating her hand in red. The world is already starting to get fuzzy at the edges as she blinks up to see him backing quickly away, the blood-soaked dagger clattering to the ground as he throws his hands up just in time.
Dragging whumpee into the surf to save them, because the ocean is safer than the shore with the tide is rushing in.
Trying to keep their head above the water as the tide rushes in (since they’re not doing so well at it themselves).
