Tyler POV

I woke up in agony! My mind was swimming with questions as the memory of the crash came trickling back and Cory – oh Cory looks in a bad state! I could smell the stench of blood even if I was on the other side of the world! There's just so much of it, I clench my hands into fists and give out a huge sigh as the black veins slowly disappeared.

I look down at myself and see a gargantuan, thick tree branch speared through my chest coming from the smashed back window screen and was barely 5 centimetres from my heart. I cry out in anguish. It wouldn't do any use; no help was coming. By the looks of it, the car was wrapped around a tree in the middle of a forest– I'm not sure which. Dismay fills me as I feel minuscule wooden splinters gradually moving towards my heart. They must've got there when the tree branch ripped into my chest due to the force and direction of the crash. What am I gonna do? Wooden stakes are lethal to vampires. If I'm dead then I can't save Cory. He looks battered and bruised, with my supernatural hearing I can hear his small intakes of breath as he barely grasps onto a single thread of life. I could tell it wouldn't be long before he slipped into a peaceful oblivion, but I couldn't let him die he's my best friend. A part of me would die too, if he did. And that's saying something because technically I'm classed as one of the undead.  I didn't know how to help him because the splinters were edging closer and closer as I knew my time was running out.

Then I realised my phone! It was in my pocket, I prayed that it was relatively intact to make a call to Cassie. She'd be the only one who'd understand my secret- I had to tell her because my friend's life was at stake.

I couldn't take the branch out by myself as I needed to get the splinters out, but I couldn't take them out either because they were lodged inside of me. I pulled my phone out of my pocket. Its glass screen protector was cracked in places, but I clicked the button on, it was my last chance of me and Cory making it out of this alive.

The lock screen came up, I frantically typed my passcode in, clicked the phone icon and Cassie's phone number. It was ringing-pick up Cassie pick up-every minute is precious! At roughly the 6th ring Cassie answered in her sleepy voice, "Hello? Who is it?" I replied, "It's me, Ty, Cassie. Look I need you to urgently come to a forest I think off the M6 and can you bring a change of clothes and a pair of tweezers. This is case of life and death Cassie! Me and Cory are in trouble!"

Cassie POV

Ty, "It's me Cassie. Look I need you to urgently come to a forest I think off of the M6 and can you bring a change of clothes and a pair of tweezers. This is case of life and death Cassie! Me and Cory are in trouble!" My eyes felt as if they grew the size of the moon with worry. A case of life and death- something must be seriously wrong, Ty sounds so scared. "Ty I think the forest off the M6 is Wickery Forest. I'm coming as quick as I can, okay! Hang in there both of you!"

I don't know what I'd do without both of my best friends. Besides my family they are the two people most important to me. I put on a mint green t-shirt, blue denim jeans and black and white striped Adidas sneakers. Lastly I tied my golden blonde locks into a loose messy bun. It would have to do- though I'd die of embarrassment if someone from my university saw me at 2am in the morning out and about with no make-up on!

Now I focused on what to put in for Ty. Ty is much taller than me, but I fling in my longest pair of trousers- which is my grey joggers and an oversized white t-shirt. Hopefully they will do. Next I grabbed a pair of tweezers out of the bathroom and swiped my car keys off the dresser.

In order to not wake my whole family up I climbed down the ivory, growing about 3 metres from the floor up to my balcony. I flung myself off the bottom of the vine, but I landed badly and twisted my ankle. I winced with the pain. Yet I ignored it, clicked my car open and practically leaped inside. I slammed my one good right foot on the accelerator and headed to Wickery forest off the M6 highway. I don't think I could survive the death of my two best friends. Will I make it in time?...
