•So this is just something I've written on my iPad in a time of no Internet connection. It was just a random thought. "What if the car accident wasn't an accident?"•

Rose's pov

I climbed in to the backseat of the car, laughing at some joke Lissa's father had made. As we sat down, both Lissa and I smoothed out our matching white dresses. We were going to some royal party, one that I would never have been invited to, if not for my connection to the Dragomirs, a Moroi royal family. I was best friends with Lissa, their daughter and I knew I would be getting looks from the Moroi, being the only Damphir there as a guest and not as a Guardian, but it didn't really bother me.

Lissa's older brother, Andrè, looked between me and Lissa

"In those dresses, you guys could be twins!" He said.

We all laughed at this, because it was completely ridiculous; Lissa was a Royal Moroi, tall, slim and pale and I was a Damphir, tanned, athletic and short.

The laughter and happiness was interrupted by my shouts to look out, coupled with Lissa's screams. Without any warning, a large tree fell across the road, in front of the car. We suddenly veered off the road, and into a different tree. After the impact, I saw Liss leaning over me, screaming at me to wake up, that I promised I would always be there for her, and then everything went black.

Lissa's pov

I couldn't believe what was happening. Just a minute ago, we had been laughing and joking, and now we were all hanging upside down in a wrecked car covered in our own blood? At first all I saw was darkness. Then, as I blinked a few times, my vision cleared up, but only slightly.

I called out weakly, praying for an answer

"M-mom? Dad? Andrè? Anyone?"

I was answered with soft groans, and dared to hope they were ok.

We were in one of those cars with three rows of seat and my mom was in the front, with Jamie, of of our Guardians, driving. My dad and brother were in the middle and Rose and I were in the back. I couldn't see anyone in the other rows, so I slowly looked at the seat next to me.

What I saw there will haunt me for the rest of my life.

My best friend was hanging, slumped against the door in a large pool of blood. There was a large spider-webbing smash where her head had hit the window. Her head was still gushing blood and that was when I noticed that she was the only one who didn't even groan.

Hands shaking, I unbuckled my seatbelt, yelping as gravity pulled me towards the car roof that was lying flat against the snow.

I crawled towards Rose and reached upwards, pressing my ear against her chest. I listened, willing myself to hear her breathing, or heartbeat or whatever it was you were supposed to listen for. Nothing. I heard nothing. I undid her seatbelt, letting her fall to the ground.

"Rose! Rose, wake up! Please! You said you'd always be there for me! You promised! You can't leave!" I shrieked, shaking her back and forth by the shoulders.

I willed her to wake up, to come back to us. I wished with everything in my being that she would wake up. At that moment, a warmth spread through me. It was warm and happy and beautiful. I felt the warmth leave through my fingertips and enter in to Rose.

"Rose..." That was it. She was dead. I'd lost my best friend.

I leaned back against the door, sobbing. As I sobbed, i heard a low moan. Wiping my eyes, I looked up.

"R-Rose? Was that you?"

As an answer, she groaned and slowly brought her arm up to her face, covering her eyes.

"Rose!" I exclaimed,

"Wha?" She said, softly, opening her eyes.

She bolted straight upright, wacking her head on a seat in the process.

•ok, so that's it for now. I will post part two soon. Again, please ignore any spelling, grammar, etc errors, as I'm typing this on the notes app of my iPad so no spell check. Just my own flawed knowledge of spelling.•
