TRIGGER WARNING: Death! Gore! Traffic Accident! Dark themes!

-----

You ran down the hall, bursting through the doors. To your surprise someone in a black cloak saw this but simply stood staring at you.
You took off running once more, they'd catch up with you so why wait for the inhumanly fast vampires. You took a quick look behind you to see someone, covered in black, leave through the doors you had and make there way at human speed towards you.

With newfound adrenaline you ran faster, pushing through anyone who stood in your way. Yet it seemed no matter how many turns you made, no matter how fast you went. They were constantly behind you.
The hooded figure seemed to grow impatient, now moving into a speed walk, moving through passers by easily. You cursed that no one seemed to question why someone in a black cloak would be wandering Volterra. If anyone had, they chose not to approach and the ones who hadn't, simply chose to ignore it. 'Maybe this is all a mistake...' You thought to yourself but quickly reminded yourself. 'but I need to stop living the same day, even if it kills me.'
You couldn't stay locked in there any more and if this is what had to be done to get some freedom, no matter how long. The consequences was worth it. Seeing the cloak grow closer again you darted out into the road in front of you.
You heard a screeching in your ears before everything went black.

Tires screeching alerted everyone and made the hooded figure stop.
Time seemed to stand still momentarily before a shrill scream erupted, making all swarm to the scene.
The figure caught sight of the truck, which was now dented with the windshield covered in blood and shattered. The driver hurrying in panic, Italian spilling from his lips as he insisted he didn't see them and pleaded for help.
Your body was a gruesome scene. You had shards of glass in your hair. Your eyes open wide but glazed over. Jaw slightly ajar and lying on your side. Blood oozed from your ears, nose and mouth. Your limbs bent in unnatural angles. There were yells for ambulances, others in shock or crying out in horror.
The figure stepped back, the blood hitting their nostrils hard.

Once stepping into the shade, they lowered their hood.
Heidi was shocked. It was as clear as day to see. She wasn't urged to catch you before you got away and caused a scene. Heidi had urgently put in the violet contacts. Perhaps if she hadn't, she'd had gotten to you quicker.
There was no doubt you had died upon impact. Your empty eyes only proved that to be the case.
Heidi lifted her hood to cover her once more before stepping into the sun. She briskly walked back to the castle, wondering how she'd tell Demetri of the news.

"Where is the human!?" Caius immediately snapped when Heidi returned alone, removing the black cloak. However only few noticed how disturbed Heidi looked. "(Y/N) will not be a problem anymore." Heidi began.
"Explain yourself!" Caius demanded.
"Where are they?" Demetri's eyes narrowed, approaching closer.
"They were hysterical when they caught sight of me and ran in front of moving traffic." Heidi slowly turned her gaze to Demetri. "I'm so sorry, Demetri. They're gone."
Demetri shifted. "What do you mean?"
"(Y/N) died."

Two days passed before Demetri was willing to speak about what happened. He mentioned it after some time of silence with Felix. "You know, many of our kind think mates are people who were made to be with one another. It's laughable that mine ended up being born centuries upon centuries after me and do you know what makes it worse?" Demetri cracked a bitter smile, despite the pain in his eyes. "They'd have rather have died than be with me."
"Demetri, friend, you can't think like that." Felix said solemnly. "They would have come around, it was a terrible accident. You did everything asked of you. You did everything right."
"It wasn't enough." Demetri said flatly. "They weren't happy. I hoped maybe they could be with time but...it's too late." Demetri slowly shook his head before another bitter laugh escaped his throat. "I just saw them this morning. I thought I had finally gotten through to them why I kept them here. I thought they had finally understood what I was trying to do- what I had to do. They didn't. They knew they were going to try to run today. That's why they were so kind this morning."
Felix out a hand on Demetri's shoulder. "It is not your fault. They made that decision."
"I'm so angry with them." Demetri mumbled. "I wish I could tell them that. Tell them what an idiot they are but I can't. I'm so angry that they chose to me to be alone forever."
"There could be another." Felix said softly.
"Felix, I understand you want to comfort me but at least be realistic. You know how uncommon that is. It's beyond even deeming it rare." Demetri swallowed. Little did Demetri know that conversation was only the beginning.
