Hello dear friends! โค๐ค๐ค๐
๐I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza ๐ญ๐ญ, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people โคโค who have been suffering๐ญ๐ญ for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.
Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

THIS ๐ IS ๐ SO ๐ DAMN ๐ GOOD
None of this made any senseโฆ
It was supposed to be just a quick harmless connection.
How could something like this happenโฆ?
How?
Dozens of doctors had crowded around Diane, who violently contorted on the hospital bed and foamed at the mouth. She was also emitting small chokes and gurgles and her eyes had rolled into the back of her head as well. It was clear that she had gone into cardiac arrest. The doctors were frantically hooking her up to multiple medical equipment, as well as sticking a breathing tube down her throat. Norm screamed in absolute horror and ran to the aid of his surrogate daughter. Norm held Diane in his arms, cradling her head and putting his free hand on her torso to try and stop her contortions. He was shaking so bad and felt so cold that his teeth were chattering. He could hear someone talking to him but it felt like his ears were stuffed with cotton and his head was full of water. โNorโโdoโโchesโโcompreโโโ Was all he heard. His eyes darted to Dianeโs chest and quickly set her back down, his hands balled up into fists and he started the compressions. He didnโt even notice that he was crying from despair. After about five minutes of chest compressions and Normโs stifled cries, Dianeโs body went limp, her eyes slipped closed and the heart monitor let out a loud continuous beep. The head doctor, who was quite used to the sound of flatlines, somberly removed the tube from Dianeโs mouth and scribbled down the time of death, while a nurse left to retrieve a body bag. To Norm, his poor little girlโs heart giving out was the most horrible sound heโd ever heard in his life.
For eight long months, he had been lucky enough to be placed as the personal instructor and mentor of that charming, shy, amusing, courageous and sweet-tempered young lady. They had grown so close that he had often caught her holding his hand, grinning up at him and mirroring his expressions and gestures to appear as intelligent as he was. And he knew, just from how she acted around him that she wanted to be the best version of him that she could beโฆ that she wanted to make him proud. She trusted him with her life. And he had failed her. Failed to protect her, failed to comfort her in her final moments and worst of allโฆ heโd failed to save her life. He couldโve stopped her from connecting to an Avatar but did he? No. Norm wasnโt a hero. Norm was just a simple coward who hid behind a โcool dadโ persona to make Diane feel comfortable around him. God, she was so young. Only nineteen, a year away from being an actual adult and the youngest in the Avatar Program. The youngest in the Programโฆ Then it hit him, a young and beautiful life had been cut violently short because of his poor actions and teachings. Because of him. Quite suddenly, Norm dropped to his knees and released a shrill wail of anguish and sorrow. He locked Dianeโs body into an iron grip and rocked her back and forth while sobbing into her shoulder, screaming apologies and cursing the heavens for taking away his little sunshine.
โNONONONONO, NO!!! DIANE, BABY, WAKE UP, PLEASE!!! DONโT DO THIS HONEY, IโM SORRY, IโM SO SO SORRY!!! IโM SO DAMN STUPID!!! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE LET YOU DO THIS, IโM SO SORRY!!! IโM PROUD OF YOU DIANE, IโM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! GODDAMN IT, GIVE HER BACK!! GIVE ME BACK MY BABY!!!!โ
He prayed to every god he knew, from Loki and Thor to Eywa. He wanted his girl back. He needed her back. He had no idea what to do, all he could hear was the noise of that goddamn machine showing that Dianeโs heart had stopped.
After a while, the doctors tried to get Norm out of the room so they could take Dianeโs body to the morgue. Norm wasnโt having any of that and put up a pretty good fight; scratching, growling and hissing at anyone who tried to touch his innocent little baby.
Dr. Grace Augustine and her assistant Dr. Sean McLaying, who had connected to their Avatars first, dashed into the room and pinned the distraught scientist against the wall. Norm struggled and jerked around, trying to free himself.
โLET ME GO, PLEASE, I NEED TO GET TO MY STUDENT!! SHE NEEDS ME-โ โNorm you have to listen to me right now. Diane is gone. We need to let the doctors take care of her.โ Grace spoke as clearly and as calmly as she could. Norm stopped struggling, slowly slid down the wall and sat down. His face was pale and his eyes were unfocused and misty, but he seemed to be hearing her words. Sean kept his hand on Normโs shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.
โIโm sorry for your loss, Norm.โ
Seanโs voice was all it took for Norm to start loudly crying again. His misery filled the medical room like the screaming of an angry Banshee. Grace helped him to his feet and Norm buried his face into her shoulder, to which she responded by wrapping a comforting arm around him. They began walking towards the door to give the head doctors some space, as they had to take care of everything as professionally as possible.
Suddenly, a small noise caused all activity in the room to halt.
It was a hiccup.
And it was coming from the direction where Diane lay.
Dianeโs eyes fluttered open. She slowly sat up and, noticing she was drooling, began wiping at her mouth with the collar of her hospital gown, completely unharmed. When sheโd finished cleaning herself, she held her hands up and admired her shiny blue skin.
Waitโฆ blue?
โOh my God.โ She had done it. She had entered her Avatar. All by herself too! Still, a scary question ebbed at the back of her mind: why had it hurt so much?
She didnโt remember Dr. Augustine saying anything about the pain sheโd go through. She couldnโt just write it off and assume that the scientists forgot to mention it to her! Sheโd been sort of unconscious, but it had felt like there were strings hooked to every single nerve on her body and some kind of devilish puppet master was pulling her up and down, torturing her for his own sick pleasure. And her heartโฆ God her heart. It was like it had been replaced with a rotten tomato that someone was squeezing painfully slow in their hand, as its skin burst at the seams and the juice poured out, gush after gush of pulpy life fluids.
Diane winced and looked around, confused. All the doctors (she assumed they were doctors from their clothes) were just standing in one place or another, gaping at her as if theyโd seen a ghost. Werenโt they supposed to be helping her with her motor skills? Her eyes fell on three Avatars in the room. One looked a lot like Dr. Augustine, another had a face she couldnโt quite recognize, and the last one had fallen to his knees, a look of disbelief on his face. It was Norm! But he looked horribleโฆ His hair was matted and tangled, his hospital gown was drenched in sweat, dry tears stained his cheeks, his eyes were red and shining, and was heโฆ shiveringโฆ? Diane felt scared, what happened? Why was her dad crying? Did something happen? Was itโฆ her fault that he was so upsetโฆ?
โDr. Spellmanโฆ? Are you okay?โ
Diane was surprised at how hoarse her voice sounded. Before she could think about it, Norm ran full speed ahead and crashed into her, wrapping his arms around her body and desperately clinging to her small frame. He let out more wailing and sobbing, but not from sadness, anger or even stress. It was from relief, happiness and pure joy. Norm pulled away just for a few seconds to pepper Dianeโs face with kisses and looked into her eyes. Those bright, icy, beautiful eyes. They were open, she was breathing, she felt warmโฆ she was alive. His sweet child was alive. Laughter escaped Normโs dry lips and he hugged Diane again. โOh, my sweet girlโฆ. Thank God youโre okay, thank Godโฆ I thought Iโd lost you foreverโฆ youโre alright, Sunshineโฆ youโre alrightโฆ Oh God, I love you so much honeyโฆโ Norm continued to hug his daughter as he whispered sweet nothings to her, telling her that she was safe and everything was going to be okay.
Diane was taken aback by her instructorโs reaction. Sheโd never seen him like this before. His behavior further confirmed that something awful had happened to her. After a while, Norm broke the embrace and held his daughterโs hands in his, just basking in her presence and thinking of an appropriate present to give Eywa for mercifully returning his sweet girl. He then realized that Diane had asked him a question a little while ago. He blinked away the tears and quickly composed himself, wiping his eyes and clearing his throat. โSorry Diane, wh-what did you want to ask me again..?โ What she said next made his heart drop with sadness.
โDid-did I do something wrong? What happened? Was it because Iโฆ uh, got too excited..?โ
Diane offered a sheepish smile and slightly shrugged her shoulders. Norm brought his hands up to Dianeโs face and caressed her cheeks. โOh no no no no, honey. None of this was your fault, okay? It was just a little accident, but thatโs okay, it happens. I promise Iโll never let something like this happen to you again.โ Norm hugged his daughter again and she hugged him back, feeling a bit better. But something told her that it wasnโt just a โlittle accidentโ. Based on Normโs reaction, it was a big accident. Sheโd have to ask him the details later, but not now. Right now her dad needed her. All she could do now was to simply alive and let him know that everything was okay. And she was pretty good at doing that anyway.
