Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7 : Smoke And Alarms

I didn't expect this to happen in our little ride home.

Halfway through our journey; a boy rushed to the middle of the street without looking. Our driver in that wicked moment tried to turn the car.

And guess what? It did.

It sent us swerving to the right; Edward's side.
The car toppled till it lay on the road; wrong way up.

A tormenting ringing started in my ears. Some hot thick moisture was drilling down my face from somewhere on my forehead. I placed the back of my palm over my mouth to wipe it from entering my body; and when I saw it, I almost shrieked.

It was blood. In all it's dark red glory.

'Elena?', I hear Edward shouting from outside ,' Elena!'

I couldn't reply. I felt a sudden urge to close my eyes. To sleep. It felt right to just doze off for a little while.... just a little while....

And I was out.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*Edward's View*

I had crawled out of the misshapen transport that was my limo; thinking that Elena was coming out right behind me.

When I realized she wasn't; I was already outside. I began calling out her name,' Elena?' No reply. I decide to shout a little louder ,'Elena!'

My head started to hurt with worry. I noticed a hand coming out a crushed window.

Elena.

I could have pulled the hand but it was all bloody and scraped and I knew it would hurt her. I began hacking at the remaining glass that was the window.

Soon as I broke all of it; I pulled her out gently just before the car explodes. I put my back over her; to shield her from the burns.

Why did I put my risk for this simple girl?

I could feel the burns on my back; but Elena was not scorched in the bit. My pain subsides at the accomplishment I've just achieved.

I've saved a life before my own. It felt really exhilarating. I wanted to have that feeling more; that's when I understood the clear purpose of being a prince and heir to the throne.

I get up; cradling Elena in my arms. She was fully unconscious. I look out for the driver; to notice him still in the vehicle.

Burning.

His flesh melting; revealing a red muscly skin layer. His head had no hair now and there were angry red blotches on it.

I turn away and look down the road

It would be a tiring journey, I thought. But I'd have to take it.

And with that; I began walking to the town, carrying Elena's limp body in my arms.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*Billy's View*

I had heard the news only when she arrived; in the arms of a stranger.

My hatred for her vanished the moment I saw her limp body. Her hand dangling as the stranger placed her in the ground on a bed of grass.

Her mother had told me only minutes ago that she had been working for the Prince and was paying the town a small visit.
