ACCIDENT

"Nora, we shouldn't do this. A storm is approaching," my mom claimed.

"Mum, you know that's not possible... in summer?" I asked as I opened the door, slightly pushing her as she sat down.

"Where are we going?" 

"I don't know mum" 

I started the engine and drove off, I couldn't imagine how miserable my life will turn out if I don't leave. 

The air began to feel thick and heavy, maybe they were feeling bad for me as well, hot tears ran down my cheek as I whimpered.

All my life I never imagined I was going to be rejected.

Suddenly it began to rain heavily, just as my mum had said.... the storm.

It was unusual.

"We are been followed, Nora!" I heard my mum scream behind me.

"What??!" I asked rhetorically as I glanced at the side mirror, fear grasped me immediately I saw a pack of wolves howling behind us.

I stepped on the brake and increased my speed.

Still running for our lives, I looked up, staring directly into the eyes of a fierce-looking wolf standing in the middle of the road.

I tried reducing my speed and stepped on the brake, but it was futile.

"Nora, stop the car" my mum panicked.

"I'm trying, but it's not working" 

"Jesus" I called, as I was a few meters near the wolf, quickly I turned the steering wheel to stop my car from hitting the angry-looking wolf, my instincts told me it was Gavner. 

At full speed, my car veered off the road and into the woods. I hit the brake repeatedly, but nothing happened.

My car drove by itself. Panic took control of me. I inhaled and exhaled heavily and tried to think of a way out, but I couldn't think of anything. 

I began regretting why I didn't run over that damn wolf.

I looked behind me, my mum had passed out.

Looking back to the road, my eyes widened when I saw a huge tree in front.

"Fuck no! Jesus Christ!" I cried, stepping on the brake and turning the steering. "Helppp!" I screamed and yelped in pain, my car was driving itself, but what happened? 

I was having a panic attack and my wolf wasn't making things easier, she kept on whimpering in fear.

Just then my car ran into the tree, instantly it caught fire.

With everything happening, I couldn't stop thinking about my mum. 

We are going to die, a terrible one at that. 

I began to regret my actions, maybe I should have listened to my mum ... I should have waited as she said.

My stubbornness led to our demise.

I was already choking, the thick flames burned my eyes and blocked my nostrils.

Climbing to the back, I tried to feel my mum's pulse, it was hard but then I felt it... she needed help.

I couldn't imagine how terrified she felt to lose me after all she went through after my dad's death.

I tried opening the door but it wasn't working, the flames increased as my skin began to burn. I became weak as I felt like my life was slowly passing me by for the first few seconds, I struggled and fought for my dear life but in the end, I gave up and let it go to dusk.

Closing my eyes to accept my fate.

'Lenora, open your eye and fight for yourself, your life lies in your palms … your destiny.'

'Nora, wake up … wake up, your lineage can't be wiped out like this!'

'LENORA SILVERBERG!!!!'

I took a deep breath as I opened my lids, allowing the flames to pierce through my eyes.

I pushed the car door open and sped through the forest floor. The crisp summer air revealed my panicked breathing. 

I continued to run despite feeling the chill on my skin, then I tripped and fell over a log.

Their paws on the ground rang out to me. While they pursued me, I could hear their rapid breathing and I wondered why they were still chasing after me.

I growled in pain as I crawled and hid behind a tree and subconsciously observed them. I raised my hands to them and observed their movements. They stopped moving when I mumbled something I had never said in my entire life. 

Three of them shifted back and my eyes didn't leave them.

They cursed, and I could hear it. 

One of them growled, "who are you and why are you controlling us?" 

Grumbling, I helped myself up, quickly two were behind me as they grabbed my arm.

"Why are you after my life?" I asked calmly but intense pain filled my heart.

I had no idea what my mum's condition was.

She must have gotten roasted, suddenly my eyes turned blue as I grabbed their necks and slammed them against the tree I was standing close to. 

I made sure there was no life left in them.

I respond, "I really hate to do this, but it is not on my list to have anyone recognize me . . . Not now . . . Not ever." 

The strength overwhelming me ... where is it coming from.

As their dead bodies fell to the ground, I exhaled. 

I have never killed anyone in my entire life but why did I feel like I have been doing this?

I fell to the ground, I was so weak. I felt empty.

I could hear my wolf pleading to let her out but I had only let her out once and since then I never let her out again because I was scared that the demon.... the vampire in me would also want to be let out.

I can't take that risk.

I have to find out about what happened tonight if I survived this . . . what was that power? And spell.

Did I somehow agitate my demon?

It seems like it was going to be harder to hide my true self. 

I should just give up and die, I have no one in this world anymore.

My mum was inside a flaming car, lying lifeless and I won't survive anymore.
