Between Life & Death

-Yn Pov-

My hand slips off the clutch, and the bike bucks, and falls on top of me.

R-ᴅαмη.

Rui quickly lifts it off me as the apparition of Bill disappears.

R-You okay? Bruises, breaks?

He said checking, on me and I told him I was good.

Y-I'm going again.

R-I'm not sure that's a good-

I quickly rise, and hop back on.

R-Guess we're going again. Now what are you going to do with the clutch?

Y-Release it. Slowly.

Rui nods. Then kick-starts the bike again. I release the clutch and move forward ʀιᴅιηg slowly at first-

Bill then reappears at my side, glowering, and I look at him, for a second before going back to the road.

I keep going, a little faster. And he appears on my left, and I pass him again. He reappears ahead, and I pass him for the third time.

I'm gathering speed like crazy, and for a moment, I experiences pure freedom, exhilaration...

I then sees Bill standing at the curve in the road ahead, and realize I don't know how to ᴛυʀη.

I ραηι¢ and the bike wiggles out of ¢σηтяσℓ.

Y-RUI!!...how do I turn!?

R-Bank it! Bank- hit the brake!

He raced toward me on his bike, but it was too late.

I reach the turn, not banking it, curving, and flying right into a bolder.

I couldn't get up. I lied down on the ground dazed, and Rui hurries over. But by then I seen black.

-Between Life & Death-

-Yn Pov-

I wake up, and see Rui over me, and I groan sitting up.

Y-I wanna go again.

R-What, are you training for the X-games?

I look around for Bill, but he's gone.

Y-I want to go again.

R-No. Forget it. I'm revoking your motorcycle privileges. Man, look at your head.

I finally feel the blood dripping down my forehead, and тσυ¢н where it нυятѕ only to ƒєєℓ the immediate sting.

Y-Ow.

I look down at my нαηᴅ, and gasp at the вℓσσ∂, remembering what happened last time I вℓє∂.

Y-Ugh, I'm sorry.
