Prologue: The Ending
The tires wailed; lights flashed, painfully bright. I turned the wheel as far as I was able, but it did no good.
I felt hands clamp onto my shoulder and nails dig into my flesh desperately for support as the car shook and weaved.
I avoided crashing into in oncoming car just barely; but the front of their vehicle hit our bumper, sending us into a short spiral. Deidara yelped, grasping my shoulder tighter.
When the world had come to a stand-still again, and I could see straight, I shakingly took a glance down towards the blond to see if he was all right.
Deidara seemed to be in perfect condition, if not horribly shaken. He was clutching onto my arm like it was his last lifeline and was staring up at me with shocked blue eyes that were already on the verge of pooling over with tears.
I had just started to reach out to pet his head and reassure him that we were both going to be fine when the silence was broken by another set of screeching wheels against pavement.
I had no time to grab the wheel; no time to react at all. We were in the wrong lane, and I wouldn't have had time to get us out of the way even if I had been prepared.
Soon enough, the screams of the tires were drowned out by the cries that Deidara was making besides me. I might have been screaming too, but if I was, it didn't last long.
As soon as our car was struck, my head slammed against the steering wheel with a sickening crack. And I was being sucked down into the empty blackness of unconsciousness.
Songstone: Yes, I know. Brutally short. DX Also, WTF at the title. XD But the word itself means "never fading" or "eternally beatiful" so I thought it would fit. And yeah, I've got tons of other stories to finish. I know. DX I need to get back to all of them. But I've had this idea in my head for...God knows how long. XD And I finally wrote this all out. I've got chapter 1 started and I can probably have it finished soon, if you guys bug me about it. 8D So...who is in the car with Deidara? Hmm... Please R&R.
