A/N: Thank you for all the reads, reviews, and alerts! Mucho thanks to my dearest darling, duskri123-she's fab and encourages me…and sometimes she evens suggests a few things because she rocks like that. I flove her…le sigh…Now, on with the show:
Legend in the Mirror
She pushed her worn out, old truck as hard as she could. Keeping the pedal flushed to the floorboard, she begged it to move faster and not to die or run out of gas anytime soon. At least not until Jake or another member of the pack could intercept her. If she could just go a little faster…please…
Bella glanced at her rear-view mirror and could no longer see the flaming red hair of her would-be executioner. She prayed that she had somehow found a way to safety, but she knew better than that. Forcing her way through the paralyzing fear that threatened to overtake her, she glanced in the side-view mirrors to make sure she didn't see Victoria anywhere else.
Both relieved and distressed by Victoria's disappearance, she caught sight of a faded warning on the mirror.
Objects in mirror are closer than they appear
Too late, she caught site of the huntress and both heard and felt the sickening twist of metal and rubber. Her body folded, broken and bleeding, as her truck was crunched and thrown into the air. She couldn't help but laugh darkly to herself, thinking of the irony of her finale…closer than they appear indeed…
