I blink open my eyes and everything is a blur. I close my eyes and try to focus on my surroundings. I can feel the blood rushing straight to my head from my upside-down position in the totaled car. I hear a loud beeping like the passenger seat belt isn't buckled.
I open my eyes again and the world is less blurred. I look out of the side window which is completely shattered. My eyes blink back the growing darkness that I can feel getting ready to take over my body in an instance.
I try to move my hand to reach down and unbuckle the constraining seat belt, but a wave of pain comes crashing through me.
Pain shoots across my body from my head, neck, stomach, and hand. I cry out as I try to fight the pain shooting through my whole body. I reach for my seat buckle and struggle to press the stupid red button.
After what feels likes hours trying to unbuckle the seat belt I get it undone, and fall into the glass that used to be the windshield. I whimper as shards of glass scrape and punctures my skin as I sink into the windshield.
Crunching of glass on asphalt has me looking out the driver's window as a pair of boot-clad feet come into view. I quickly crawl towards the passenger window away from the man or woman standing next to my broken and bruised form.
I climb out of the passenger window and squat low to the ground as a wave of dizziness washes over me. I glance around at the barren street and see the two cars that were chasing after me parked blocking both directions of the road, but not the woods. I hear several people talking and I listen to what they're saying.
"Boss will be furious if he finds her dead Andrés," a familiar female voice hisses.
"Eva, it will be fine she is a tough bitch. If she can live through 3 gunshot wounds she can live through a minor car crash," another voice says that I also recognize.
"Fine, Andrés I will push my worries away until we see her dead body," Eva tells Andrés Declan's new second in command since his brother died. Andrés is a very dangerous and blood-thirsty man. He used to terrify me, but now he comes into my dreams to hunt me even after I have become almost just as bloodthirsty as him.
"Andrés, Eva, she's gone," yells a rough man's voice that makes my heart drop to the pit of my stomach. Javier Cortez Matteo's best friend and he used to be a close friend to Rosalie and me. He dated my best friend Sofia, but Declan killed her which killed a part of Javier that will probably never repair.
A screech of wheels on the road makes my head slowly swivel towards the direction of the car. Everyone on the other side of my totaled car stops talking and they become quiet as a mouse. As the shut of the car door is heard the road goes unnaturally quiet, and my heart stops beating as the last person I want to hear speaks.
"Where is my Estrella?" Declan asks in his rough Spanish accent.
I know as soon as he speaks I need to get the hell out of here. I stick my head back into the broken window of my newly beloved car and unlatch the secret compartment in the steering wheel. I grab the loaded gun and the ammo (that I placed in here just in case something like this happened) before I quickly put my back against my car and take deep breaths to still my rising panic at the man behind me.
