Chapter 2: Goodbye...
"Oh fuck, " Hunter cursed under his lips when he saw Dove starting her car and leaving at a frantic speed. He drove his own car to chase after her but there was no stopping her. He knew that she was not thinking anything at this moment and in a fit of anger, she was going to commit the gravest mistake of her life. Until this day, he had never seen Dove so angry. Perhaps, angry was the wrong word. Crestfallen– it was the appropriate word to describe the current her.
Nevertheless, he understood that he had to stop her as driving the car at such a dangerous speed was in no way a good decision. Anything could happen to her.
Soon, his thoughts were turned true as another sports car from the opposite direction appeared and collided right with Dove's car, causing it to flip in the air and hit the dividers of the road. His heart came out of his chest for a moment as he pressed the brake and ran out of the car before his car could even stop.
As he scanned, he found that the car was in a bad situation and she was stuck inside. Shards of glass were pierced into her skin and blood was oozing from everywhere staining her clothes and car seats. It was such an horrifying and terrifying picture even for someone as stone-hearted as him.
"Raven, " Hunter said, frantically. He attempted to open the car door but it was stuck. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn't open it or he had to help her get out of the car or she might die there. Pushing these negative thoughts to the back of his head, he began focusing on the most important thing here.
"Knightson, it's Dove, " Dove said in a hushed tone. Her eyes were closing on their own and she saw his blurry face and another wrecked sports car behind him.
"You still have the courage to fight with me over your name, huh?" Hunter asked. He appeared miserable at this moment and she had never been so happier than this moment while peering at him. "You are named after the wrong bird."
"My father named me Dove, "She whispered. Then, something changed inside her and she added with eyes full of remorse and pain, " My dad… he… take care of him please…."
"Raven, he is your father. So, you better come out alive and take care of your old man. Do I look like a good man to you?" He said in a menacing tone just like him. She knew that he was an asshole and he proved it to her by acting like one. Perhaps, she was dying yet he didn't believe that he should be gentle to a person like her.
Suddenly, he was able to open the car door and soon he helped her out of the car. In a few minutes, the ambulance was there and he had successfully saved her. He was holding her hands, pleading with her not to close her eyes and keep fighting with him while she was staring at everything blurry.
She watched in silence and blur how another car appeared and crashed right into him. His body flung in the air and when it fell on the ground back, his head hit the divider and the car crushed his body. One moment, he was fighting with her for her life and the other moment he was lying there dead in cold blood.
This was life…. Unexpectedly Cruel…
The nurses and doctors ran to him frantically, leaving her alone there on the stretcher and she counted until her last breath.
"Sixteen years of rivalry was not worth this embarrassing death, Knightson. I forgive you not because you saved my life but because I want to be free of hatred for you and everything. I want to be free and happy again. If there is a turn back in time, I will change my path so I will never meet you…."
"Goodbye, Hunter."
The hushed whisper flew with the wind and she understood that her time had come to an end. A tear escaped from the corner of her eye mingling with the crimson hue marring her skin.
A small tugged at her lips while tears leaked from the corner of her eyes but she swore that she felt her bruised heart healing at this moment of her death, "Goodbye, Jacob. You were my Achilles heel all along and I wish, I fervently wish that nobody loves a man like you. Especially a woman like me."
....
A/N: Sometimes, death is liberation. We crave to get this liberation. But it always comes at the price of something or someone.
