After We Collided Novels & Stories

The tension in the room extinguished, they returned to painting in a companionable silence for a long while each lost in their own thoughts of the other. Then, Howie Day’s Collide started playing over the speakers. Dani’s arm seemed to stop painting of its own accord. This had been one of the songs they had both loved and listened to in the bed of Levi’s truck many times, looking at the stars. The memories flooded her as she listened to the haunting chorus about people making mistakes, falling down but finding the person you are meant to be with anyway. Love conquering all.

Gemma said. "Yes, why?" "Thank goodness I thought something bad happened to you, I wanted to call you last night but I was so tired and fell asleep" Gemma said. "It's okay, I got home safely, the proof is I'm here right?" Cara said. When they left, Noah was already waiting in front of the cashier, he smiled at Cara and Gemma who came out of the crew room. "What's wrong with him?" Gemma whispered but Cara just shrugged her shoulders indicating that she also didn't know what was wrong with Noah.

Icaan let out a string of expletives and I found myself doing the same as we came clear but our ship shuddered anyway, attached to my ship, still being towed behind. It was clear my ship had also collided, but I'd not thought to check the shields the last time I'd been on it. Had something worse happened to my ship? There was no way to tell for now, but we finally came clear as a whole and Icaan got us back up to speed so we could head out of the last area of dust cloud. We were near the edge when another ship loomed to our left and the one behind appeared on the radar again as well.

They took the front in an attempt to minimize the impact of the collision. But, they were wrong about one thing. “Now!” Samuel smirked. Baby opened her mouth, vomiting a strong gust of wind out of her mouth. SWOOOOOOSH! Maxim’s big eyes became even rounder. “DEFEND!!!” The shield griffins were nearly scooted to the back. They had moved a few inches. BOOOM! The collision with Baby echoed through the sky. “Shit! I’ve overlooked this- akh!” His eyes became even rounder.

And so, we embarked on a new chapter, our hearts filled with hope and the knowledge that no matter what trials lay ahead, we would face them together, united in love and bound by the strength of our shared journey. ***************************** The aftermath of our confrontation left us both physically and emotionally drained. The weight of the battle lingered in the air, a reminder of the dangers we had faced and the sacrifices we had made. But as the days turned into weeks, we began to heal, to rebuild what was broken. Victor and I found solace in each other's arms, our love serving as a balm for the wounds that had been inflicted upon us. We cherished every moment, every touch, knowing th

Every ounce of power I could muster surged forward. Auren stumbled backward, unable to withstand the combined force of our attack. His remaining followers either fled or knelt, trembling, realizing that the fight was over. Axel's claws dug into the ground, shielding me as I fell to my knees, exhausted, still humming with power. He knelt beside me, breathing heavy, his hand landing on my shoulder. Our eyes met, and for that second, we didn't need words. We had survived. Together. Against all odds.

I snorted when they snapped off their glasses, their eyes widening when they realized that I wasn't one of their colleagues. “It's too late to be smart, boys,” I cackled, smashing the gas pedal down as hard as I could. My sedan collided with the road block, metal on metal screeching in an earsplitting sound, raising enough dust to make them temporarily blind for a millisecond. The momentum enabled me to blast past the two cars. Throwing a careless glance back, the vampires were gone. Out of sight. Vanished into thin air, perhaps. I didn't dare hope. It seemed highly unlikely that my small collision had successfully killed them.

The collision had been violent. It was a miracle that neither of them walked away with anything more than superficial wounds. Willow had escaped with a minor graze on her shin, but Roman’s sacrifice had cost him. The whiplash of the impact, combined with the way he had surged across the console to anchor her in place, had resulted in a severe tear in his shoulder muscle.

She argued back. When the door handle moved behind us, both Elyse and I sprang into action. We lunged toward the glass casket together. Our bodies collided mid-air, but we pressed on, extending our hands simultaneously. Our fingers touched the cold glass at the same moment. I saw a crack form before the glass exploded like a bomb.The force slammed us back, against the wall with a hard whack. But the glass didn't explode into a thousand pieces of glass. No, it was much worse.
