The Accident
Merle
She walked to the doughnut shop. It had been two days since the incident. Two days of tears. Two days locked away. Two days. Getting her usual Boston crème and glazed she reached the counter, paid... remembering Dilandu... and walked outside. She breathed in deeply. "I wish Van would hurry up." Hitomi said reaching her side. Van was still inside trying to decide between two crème filled doughnuts.
"It'll be another three minutes before he realizes that he has enough money to get both." She said somewhat smiling.
"I'll go and try to hurry him up." Hitomi said smiling broadly trying to lift Merle's spirits. It helped a little. It was good to have her feelings out in the open. Merle walked around the building and leaned on the corner. Digging in the bag she pulled out the Boston crème and took a bite. It smeared a little on her lips. Reaching in the bag she tried to find a napkin. Not finding one she licked her lips as best she could.
"Here." A quite voice said, and from nowhere someone offered her a napkin. She took it without looking up and wiped her mouth.
"Thank you." she said looking up then stopped. It was Dilandu. Taking a step back she turned away from him.
"Merle..." he said to her. His voice rang through her ears and hit her heart with a force. Still she didn't look at him.
"I told you I never wanted to see you again." She said trying to make her voice sound angry, hiding her pain in false words of annoyance. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder and felt her body warm under his touch.
"Please Merle. There's something you should know. Remember that guy I told you about? Vince?"
"What about him Dilandu? Are you going to use him as an excuse for what you did?"
"No. But there is something he found about you. He's a..."
"I don't care!"
"Merle your life is in danger!" he said, his voice filled with care and concern.
"Sure." She said. Turning away from him she walked around to the back where no one was. She thought. I don't want to be like this to him but I don't want to be hurt. Following behind her he grabbed her arm.
"Merle... please. You're in danger." He said. She twisted away from him and looked over his shoulder.
"Get away from her Dilandu." Van said from behind him.
Dilandu
"I was just telling her something." Dilandu said to Van. He glared at Dilandu.
"She doesn't need you."
"Fanell... let me talk to her alone will you?"
"Not a chance!"
"Please?" Dilandu said with tears almost in his eyes. Van looked to Merle, who nodded a slow yes, and Van backed up to the wall, not at all willing to leave.
"What do you want to say?"
"Look... Merle... he want's to get to Van anyway he can."
"And why should I believe you?" she said.
"Merle... I know that it's hard to believe me...especially after what happened. But you have to believe me. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you."
"I'm so sure Dilandu." Walking away from him she looked back from a distance. "What did you really come here for? Might as well say it now." She said angrily at him tears starting in her eyes.
"What will it take to get you to see that I'm telling the truth?" she was silent, an angry and hurt look upon her face like the way she looked at me that day. He thought. She turned away and began to walk. "All I wanted to tell you was..." he never got to finish.
Vince
He couldn't believe that impossible, ungrateful Dilandu had done this. "No matter. I'll get to him and Fanell somehow." As he drove he found the doughnut shop where Dilandu liked to eat. Driving around he saw her. Merle... he had seen her before going into Dilandu's apartment. And there was Dilandu and Fanell. There was only one thought on his mind as he accelerated the car towards her. "For Lord Fulcan!"
Dilandu
The car sped towards Merle. Dilandu saw what was going to happen before Van did. Without hesitating he ran forward, hoping and praying that he could push her out of the way in time. She saw him running towards her and tried herself to run out of the way, but she was too scared and shocked to move. The car was closing in and Dilandu still ran to move her out of the way. "MERLE! MOVE!" Dilandu screamed as Van ran forward. Dilandu looked in the car briefly and saw him. Vince, driving like a madman. Reaching forward in hopes of somehow getting her out of the way. He pushed her... but...................... it was too late. The car collided with one body....... And another. Dilandu had pushed her to the left side of the car and rolled on the ground. As he looked forward he saw the car... then shooting pain forced his eyes shut. He was lucky. Merle's body hit the left side of the car. Bones cracked with the force of the blow. Muscles stretched and burned. Her whole body was on fire and in pain. Everything went black as she heard only noises fading. The sound of the car speeding away, the sound of Van and Hitomi running towards her, the sound of the ambulance... but mainly the echoing sound of Dilandu's voice calling her name.... As a whisper.
