After We Collided Novels & Stories

I was seated in the middle watching the car in front of us. We were following them behind, which they seem to have noticed as they tried dodging us, but we managed to follow them. It worked in our favour as they took the road, which seemed to have no cars at all. "Rear-end collision!” One of my men instructed, and the one driving hit their car, causing their car to drive without control as it ended up hitting a tree. It didn’t cause any damage to us, as my men all took their guns and ran out.

Aeron It all unfolded swiftly. One moment, we were navigating the road toward Blizzard City, just minutes from the city's main gate. Suddenly, an intense force jolted us off the road, launching our vehicle into the air. The subsequent crash was abrupt and severe, leaving no room for panic, even though time seemed to warp in the midst of the chaos. The true sense of alarm only set in after the confusion subsided, and our car collided with the ground. There was no luxury of time for contemplation.

They understand and act like before. He covered the mouth of C with his one hand and jerked his neck at the one eighty degrees brutally with full force. He was dead at the time with widened eyes. He did the same with B. "W who are you?" He heard from behind. "Now." He said. He turned and found him on the ground. His men were already standing behind him. Justice stabbed him in his heart from behind continuously thrice. "Good job everyone." He smiled. All bowed their heads at once.

He fell. The virus was destroyed. The facility was collapsing. We ran. Through the flames. Through the chaos. Through the death. We reached the surface. The facility crumbled behind us. I collapsed. Adrian caught me. "Scarlett!" "I'm okay." "You're not okay." "I'm alive." "That's all that matters." I smiled. "Adrian, we did it." "Yes. We did it." I looked at the ruins. O'Malley was gone. The virus was destroyed.

The silence that followed the collision was absolute. It was not the quiet of a peaceful afternoon; it was the suffocating, atmospheric dead zone of a world that had temporarily forgotten how to breathe. When the blinding white plasma of the kinetic-gravitational shockwave finally faded, the historic center of Arusha had been permanently altered.

Dante held me as if I might vanish, but I no longer had the strength to push him away. Professor Shaw came to my side. “Aria, can you hear me?” I looked at her through the blur. “My baby…” Her expression changed, but her voice stayed steady. “We’re taking you to the institute medical center now.” As they lifted me onto the stretcher, Dante tried to follow. Professor Shaw stopped him with one look. “You had your chance to protect her.” The last thing I saw before darkness took me was Dante standing in the hall, covered in my blood, while the wedding ring box lay open at his feet.

I repeated, grunting as I sharpened my telepathic message, projecting my inner voice with every ounce of willpower I possessed. "Take cover, Ash!" Caspian’s sharp warning cut through my focus just as I caught sight of our car hurtling toward us. We leaped out of its path a split second before the vehicle crashed into the masonry above our heads. We hit the ground hard, rolling away as heavy bricks dislodged by the impact rained down. The collision had deformed the house, providing a jagged entry point where the walls had collapsed near the roof. But there was no time to exploit it; the creature was charging.

Adrian's voice surged—. Close—. Right there—. And then—. They collided—. Not physically—. But completely—. And the moment they did—. Everything went dark.

The silence lasted several seconds. Nobody trusted it. Not after everything. Not after the fake sleeping incidents. Finally I whispered. "Are they really asleep?" Order leaned forward. Studied them. Then nodded. "They appear unconscious." Good enough. We left before they could change their minds. The moment our bedroom door closed behind us, both Aella and I collapsed. Literally collapsed. Onto the bed. Neither of us even bothered changing clothes. I landed face first. Aella landed beside me. For several minutes neither of us moved.

Deliberate. I dealt with Finn. I watched Mira step forward and speak to him directly, clearly, without flinching, and I stored that away. And then everything happened at once. Finn's warriors moved. I moved. The defensive line broke and reformed and I lost track of Mira for three seconds that felt like three hours, and then I saw Finn breaking through on her side and I was already running. The collision happened at the edge of the wall where the ground dropped away. I hit Finn from the side, which meant I hit him on Mira's side, which meant all three of us went over.
