Sabine found herself hanging around school more and more. Kanan and Ashoka were with Sathkan and Ezra so often, she felt all alone. So that meant more artwork to unleash her feelings, and she'd rather do it in the school's art center with the emo kids wearing earbuds than alone at home, listening to sessions of meditation, where the boys were supposedly 'becoming One with the Force.'
Today was one of those days. Kanan would be dropping the boys off, so she decided to come to school early, and she was sitting out in the car listening to Taylor Swift and doing her art in her sketchbook in the backseat. Yeah, it was girly, but so what? It was one of the few moments she could listen to her music, not the boys, because she certainly wouldn't share her secret love for TSwift with those little traitors. They'd make fun of her.
Yep, she enjoyed mornings like this. She glanced at the rear-view mirror, and saw a truck, heading into her car, or exactly where that shiny new toy, Bella Swan, was standing. There was no time to act. She saw a flash, and the truck come towards her all too fast in horror. Her vision went red, and pain shot through her body.
When she opened her eyes again, there was a hunk of metal hanging only a few centimeters from her face. Am I dying? She wondered dazedly. Her forehead felt wet. And there was something embedded in her scalp, yes, it was rather uncomfortable. Her stomach hurt.
Voices, very faint, were buzzing about outside.
"Get her out of there!"
"Are you alright, Bella? I think you hit your head hard."
"Ow."
"We've got two teens trapped in the wreckage, and there's another car, we don't know if someone's inside or not."
They were almost annoying to Sabine. She wished they would just shut up. They were giving her a headache. Her eyes were slowly closing in attempt to block it all out. Maybe it would all hurt less if she just closed her eyes...
"Sabine!" She heard the cry from the parking lot.
"Sathkan?" She mumbled sleepily.
"We've got another in the backseat of the other car! Has a head wound, looks like she's about to go unconscious- get her out of there, now!"
Sabine wondered why there was such bright light. She half-heartedly tried to block it away, but her wrist was tied down, and she was lying on something else.
"'Bine!" She heard Kanan cry out. Why's he so scared? What happened? I'm fine right? I just...hurt.
"We need to keep her awake. Get her talking," a paramedic ordered.
"What's your name, kid?" The golden eyes of Edward Cullen locked onto hers, and she started squirming. Something had kick-started inside of her. This is vampire. I can't trust it.
"Come on, talk to me," he said, almost pleading. It was uncanny, how pretty his voice sounded. It put all of her hair on end.
"Sabine," she murmured.
"That's right, you're with that quiet blond kid in Biology," he chuckled. Sabine frowned at him. Something in her felt like she should defend the poor boy who'd been taken in by his kind, and had witnessed so many horrors at the hands of those imperial monsters.
"Sathkan," she said.
"Is it true that he lives with your family?" He asked.
"So? Who are you to judge, Cullen?" She snarled.
"Whoa, easy," he chuckled. "Why do you hate me?"
Sabine made an attempt to open her eyes a little wider. "Something's weird with you," she allowed herself to say. "You're too pretty, too nice-smelling, too smart, too close to perfect to be natural. You're uncanny."
"You have no idea," he replied.
"Doc, her heart's going a bit quick!"
"Get her in! Page Dr. Cullen! Now!"
And then suddenly she was moving. "We've got to get her into a cat-scan, and then we've got to put her under, get that metal out."
It's soon after that that Sabine couldn't remember anything else.
