Prologue - Gone

The Accident - Rosalie Xavier's p.o.v ( pack member):

"Noah shut up!" I said all frustrated about how I found Noah tonight.

"But why? Why do you have to be such a party popper? What's wrong with you?" My drunk idiotic supposedly big brother groaned loudly.

"Noah, you're being so immature right now and pissing me off. Now shut it before I lose my temper." I was more frustrated than before when I found my oh-so-good brother drunk and doing some shots in the table I considered the 'cringe table'.

He was so wasted and totally out of his stupid mind. It was reckless to go out of town just because he broke up with his girlfriend of what? Two weeks? I swear he's only getting reasons to get drunk.

Wanting to rip out my hair while I'm driving isn't a good thing to do simultaneously, I'm sure.

Replaying the way I found him in the bar I turned towards my annoying big mouthed brother just to share a piece of my huge ass brain. "You're such a pain in my ass Noah!"

"Well, you're such a - WATCH OUT!"

I turned my attention back to the front to hear a loud horn from a huge truck coming towards us because I think I unconsciously tilted the steering wheel slightly to the right which turned out to land in the wrong track whilst screaming my head off to my big brother.

With ungodly amount of adrenaline in my system, I meant to twist the steering wheel to the left a little but twisted it completely in God-awful panic to avoid colliding into the incoming truck as Noah swears his brains , or rather his pants off with a wide variety of familiar yet foreign words leaving his mouth that begin to drill my brain.

Trying to avoid his vivid colourfulness, I tried to absorb my victory of not hitting that truck, that was again short-lived, when I realized that we were going to collide with a huge ass tree that was approaching in a speed that I did not appreciate.

"Hit the brake! Hit the darn bloody brake!" Noah shrieks. I hit the pedal and the car zooms faster. Oops, wrong one I guess. "Rose!"

My breath gets faster and shorter. 'Do NOT panic!' I remind myself. 'Repeat, do NOT panic!'. Aannd my blood level goes high. "Sorry!"

Well...

I press on the other pedal hoping that it is the bloody brake. And thankfully it is. But I just knew that the distance between the car and the tree was too short for the car to come to a halt quick enough. So I lowered the handbrake painfully slow just to slow down the car at a faster rate while I tried to twist the wheel to get away from the tree, which to my awesome luck, got stuck. I know that I'm taking a greater risk but I have to do something to not die.

I swore.

The car slowed down, of course it did, but was still fast enough to take lives rather than just cause a scratch or a fracture.

"I love you. You know that right, Noah? Tell dad and mom that I love them. Tell Rey-"

"Shut up Rose we're going to be fine!" Noah snapped.

Tears started to well and started to blurry my vision while my heart started to swallow up in sadness and guilt. "I'm so sorry Noah!" I chide away hoping that my brother can hear me and pass on my message. If I'm gonna die, might as well say my last true words, and hope that Noah survives and lives on happily ever after finding the most beautiful and kind mate.

Of course after mourning for me, or else I'll stab him with ghost scissors in his sleep.

"I'm so sorry that I wasn't the best daughter to mom and dad, and the best sister to you, or the best friend that Carol, Genesis and Jade got. I love you all so much and that's true no matter what." Now I'm in a full set of tears as my brother wails my name again and again.

"I love you all" I whisper. My eyes close awaiting the no ending pain as the car collides quiet violently with the huge tree smashing me onto the steering wheel as the airbag pops. I feel my neck snap and my fingers smash. My chest burns with intense pain and my head burns as blood drips from my forehead onto my pink shirt.

The pain only intensifies as the adrenaline wears off, and I seem to recognize that my arms were twisted in weird shapes.

I want to scream but air seems to be stuck in my larynx. Breathing becomes difficult and now it hurts to try.

I try to open my eyes which seem to have stuck together with super glue. And when I finally do, my vision is covered with black spots.

The metallic smell of blood invades my senses as my wolf howls in grief. And I hear it my my soul. Larry.

She's my gal. She's been with me since birth but only awakened when I turned 16. She's helped me navigate my way with me through my toughest times and through my happiest. She's the reason I was alive till today, and I'm the reason she's gonna die today.

I feel my ribs pierce inside my lungs. I'm in agony. I can't move even to wet my dry lips. It hurt too damn much to try. I hear a ringing voice in my ears which I try to ignore. I open my eyes to adjust my vision but the black spots just grow bigger and bigger.

I feel so tired and I want to give into the darkness, but something is telling me not to. Don't give in. Don't give up. It's telling me to fight the drowsiness and pain. I realize that it's Larry. She's telling me to hold on even as I feel her drift off into a bleak blackness.

After all, we were just just vessels for wolves to reside in. Only a mere pot to hold water in. And when the pot cracks, what's my use anymore? It can't hold the water anymore, and I can't hold this great power within me any longer. I'll miss you Larry. I will.

Guess I'm done for. My short time in this world is over and I don't regret a single thing. Except for the fact that I should have stolen that chocolate bar today and that my end could be different. but it's what it is and I can't do anything about it anymore.

Of course I'm not gonna experience a lot of things or visit the world anymore, but it's okay. I did enough. A lot of people my age didn't get the opportunities I got I appreciate everything everyone's done for me.

I hear someone shouting my name again and again. My head hurts. It's a familiar voice. "Rose! Rosalie!" I heard my brother screaming with my bloody ears. I wanted so badly to respond, but my body refused. It wouldn't move.

I'm so tired.

I'm so sleepy, my body is so numb. I feel nothing. Let me just close my eyes for a while.

I feel like I'm floating away. Away from the pain. Away from the light and into the awaiting darkness that looks so bleak yet comforting. Away from the thin strand that holds me here as it slowly tears and breaks away.

I feel so weightless, so free, so alone.

So cold...
