Gotta go fast

Chapter 1

The sky was dark and the only sign of light was from the full moon that situated itself high in the night sky. There were no clouds in sight as the stars twinkled, if you looked hard enough you could have sworn that they were flashing multiple colours. On a night like this you could have sworn that a cool breeze would sweep you away but it wasn't cold at all. Quite the opposite, even if the sun had set many hours ago the warmth of the air made it hard to breathe at times but people could hardly complain as they had recently experienced a lot of cold and rainy weather which had really put everyone done in Jasper. It was a beautiful night for those that wanted a little peace even if it was 1 in the morning, but for some it was the perfect night for some fun. Outside of jasper a large group of people were gathered, their chatter was quite noisy as they all seemed to be gathered around 4 cars that were parked side by side along a white line that had been painted on the dusts surface of the ground. The drivers of these vehicles leaning against the driver's side door surrounded by either their friends or girls that were in to that sort of thing, obviously they were looking for some fun as they had arrived in many other vehicles that were parked further away.

Around them was a course set out the cars to follow, of course it was one of their scheduled races that they all took part in at some point. One of the guys that was surrounded by his girlfriend and a couple of his friends, the guy had brown eyes and light brown wavy hair that waved down the sides of his face, a small smirk was on the die of his face as he looked at each of his opponents sizing them up like a meal while he drank his beer that he was holding. He kept his own car away from the others on the starting line, he didn't trust anyone near his car. It was dark blue with deep red streaks along the sides. His attention was drawn away from the others quickly by a loud rev of an engine. A red aston martin one 77 drove up slowly and stopped at the white line. Everyone's attention was now on the new car that had pulled up alongside, the rims of the wheels a golden yellow and the accents of the car were red too. The windows were tinted so no one was able to see in but that didn't stop them from trying to look. A low rumble could be heard from inside so they presumed that the driver was listening to his music.

After a couple of minutes it was obvious that the driver of the sports car wasn't going to come out and show himself. This angered the guy, he always knew what he was up against but now a red sports car turned up out of the blue and the driver was just sitting in there with his music playing. He clenched his fist the anger rising up through his body. The hand holding his beer shaking, the veins pulsing as he threw his bottle of beer on the floor. "Oi! You gotta come out of the car if you wanna race"

There was no reply. Just silence. Everyone else just watched at the guy backs stepped and picked up a piece of glass, it didn't take long before he had given up waiting for an answer to come and threw the glass shard at the aston martin scratching its paint. The car immediately revved at the action, its engine sounding much vicious. There was still no sign of the driver exiting the car, at once he kicked the door and took another glass shard from the ground, he held it tight as he approached the door again holding his arm up like he was holding a sharp knife in his hand, the engine noise mocking the young man to do it. He quickly brought his hand down but before the sharp piece of glass could make contact with the car an arm grabbed his own and restrained him from attacking the car. He turned his head to meet the gaze of his restrainer.

"ENOUGH!" His gaze met hers but she had peace of mind than he did at the current time. He tried to get his hand free from her grasp but she held on tight and wedged herself between the man and the shiny sports car. "Out of the way Birch" she shouted at her, his bulk and deep voice didn't frighten her not while other people were watching them at the same time. "You need to chill Billy, the guy doesn't have to get out of the car if he don't want to" she raised an eyebrow at him as she released his arm that now fell to his side the shard falling to floor as he let it go. His eyes searched around at the other people still staring at him, waiting for him to do something. The guy now identified as Billy walked back to his car and opened the door but before he got in he turned back to her "What you protecting him for?"
