Sorry for the A/N last chapters. I'm extremely superstistius… and to have this chapter be on the 13th spot would bug me to no end. But trust me this chapter is worth it. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: No I don't own.
*Nicole*
Her and her gang had just escaped that insane guy on the hog just barely… And she was still kicking herself in the ass for it.
That was just cowardly! She and everyone else might as well be dogs with tails right in between all of their legs. Just humiliating. And in front of that bitch Stevie Rae too!
'Just who the hell was that guy? And why the fuck would he rescue that bimbo?' Nicole thought, with absolute hatred and anger.
"We alright?" Nicole said outward, trying to catch her breath, but not making it turn to panting.
"All accounted for 'cept for Greg. Think he got knocked out back there. Hasn't run with us anyway." Kurtis said, obviously trying to catch his breath too, but doing a better job not panting.
'Damn. Oh well Greg, you fall behind you die behind.' Nicole thought grimly, but with a feral smile crossing her lips.
"What about Starr?" Nicole asked, and as if right on cue, she called out.
"Right here Nicole. I guess I had the head start." She explained sorta rudely, like that should've been the plan from the moment that guy had arrived.
"Right, well what were we supposed to? We were prepared to take out Stevie Rae, not some psycho on a hog!" Nicole practically screamed, releasing all of her anger out along with her disappointment and frustration.
"Next time we gotta pack harder just in case any crap like that ever happens again." It seemed to Nicole that she was speaking more to herself then the other two.
"What heavier stuff? We practically got jack squat, Nicole!" Starr yelled back at her. "All we have is some guns and knives. I doubt that any of that could be considered "heavy" next time one of that bitch's goon, or who-ever the hell that guy was, comes to her rescue!"
"As much as I hate to admit defeat to that pathetic hen, Starr has a point. Can't deny that Nicole." Kurtis said which both stunned and angered Nicole.
Nicole was about ready to open her mouth and tell them both off when they were all interrupted by someone else's words.
"Pathetic, utterly pathetic." The strange voice said, with what sounded like a disappointment disguised in a utterly reptilian hiss.
"I truly expected much, much more. Though on the whole I don't know why, for the longest time I had my doubts, but never like this." The strange, obviously a guy's voice said.
Nicole looked around and finally found the silhouette of a some skinny bastard leaning against the wall. But before either Nicole or the other could make any snarky remark he just continued.
"And because of a girl. That's said, just really, really, pathetically sad. I killed better excuses of existence and the reason for their ignorance's… But this tops the cake." He just kept talking and talking. Until he pulled a bright, shined, obviously sharpened knife out, letting glim in the little light to be seen in the alley way.
"And you three were just as bad too." He said finally standing up off of the wall.
'Wait what? Too? Then who the hell was he insulting?' Nicole thought to herself.
"So you telling us you know that guy?" Nicole said, trying her best to be unimpressed.
"Sort of. I mean I kind of have to. He's kind of my brother." The guy said finally stepping away from the shadows, making Nicole, Starr, and Kurtis all gasp in shock. This guy was a Raven Mocker!
It wasn't really obvious; Raven Mockers were famous for having tan skin and longish hair, and was also extremely built. This guy was exactly the opposite of that description. Being really pale, half shaven hair, leaving a whole mess on the top of his head, and looked sickly skinny. But he did have the raven birthmark right on the right side of his neck or at least a half of a raven on that part of his neck. Because what most people didn't know about these guys was that every member of the Raven Mocker gang had a raven birthmark, and there was no mistaking this guy's mark.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that my appearance would frighten you kids." He said with a positively manic smile.
"You're a Raven Mocker! Anyone in their right mind would be scared, you ass-hole!" Nicole shouted at him.
Unbelievably, he laughed. Like he had just heard the most satisfying fact in the world.
"Good. At least you smart in some small measure." He said sarcastically while grinning like the Joker.
"Look what do you want Raven Mocker?" Nicole snapped.
"At first it was to see what that pathetic coward was up to during all of this time, now I guess I could say I want the same thing you want and then some." He said in an almost bored tone.
"What we want? You trying to say that you want Stevie Rae dead too?" Nicole asked.
"I really wish you hadn't told me her name. I prefer to not know people names when I start their end. Like I'm out for them persssonaly, it makessss it sssssound." He said, hissing like he was part reptile or monster, but what the hell was with the backwards talking at the end?
"Well who was that guy?" Nicole asked.
"My brother, he isssss. The leader, you know him asssssss." He said, still giving hissing emphasis and talking backwards. But looking at his face and into his eyes, Nicole could that this guy was effed up. He looked as if he was totally lost on his own craziness, and was super happy about it. Like he was in his own effed up world. It was scary just trying to form another retort at him.
"You mean that guy was the leader of your gang? So what the hell? Why did he save her? And why were you stalking him?" Nicole asked him, swallowing the fear he was so obviously good at projecting at people.
"Yessss, he issss. Why he did, I don't know. Feeling that he betrayed us, I had." He explained, but man was this guy creeping Nicole out.
"So what do you want from us?" Kurtis shouted out.
His response was to throw his knife right at Kurtis. It missed his head by on centimeter, and then it was jammed into the wall behind him.
"I wasssss getting to that." He said his arm still outstretched. "So shut up and let me explain."
Nicole was afraid to say 'Okay' so she just nodded her head trying to look un-amused and disapproving, and singled Starr to do the same.
"I want Rephiam to pay for doing what he did. Turning his back on his own brothers, for shame. And for a girl. Truly pathetic if you think about it. Right?" He monologue as he went to retrieve his knife. But it seemed that he was escalading from explaining things to them, to talking to himself, then to someone else. Who that was, she couldn't say, but she dared not ask.
"And now that I know who she is, and that you are obviously associated with her, I want to know more about her. That way I can deal with her, so as to not only eliminate the desecration from my elder brother's sights, but if he actually cares," He said the word like a curse. "About that little creature, then it will hurt him hard, and if he tries to betray us all again, then I can kill him." He explained briefly.
Nicole was fuming. In what inane world did this guy think that she would divulge that kind of info of Stevie Rae (what little she had against her) just so he could kill her. She was there prize and no one else's.
"I'm guessing you all are going to be difficult with such information right? Because from what I saw in that pathetic scene I just witnessed, you all have your own personal vendetta against her. Just think of it, that you're pushing her into a cruel fate by working with me." He said smiling wide, extending his hand out to Nicole.
"Alright, but this is just a deal made by mutual hate for the same person. There will be no trust among this whole deal." Nicole said grasping his hand.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." He said slowly, like he was savoring the words.
"By the way," He said after he release his hand from the hand shake, looking like he wanted it cleaned. "I never told you my name." He said with a alien gleam in his eyes.
"Right. So what is your name?" Nicole mocked asked.
"It's Nisroc. It's a pleasure to meet you all." He said as he unbelievably bowed down. But what they didn't know that he was smiling even more manically. The same smile when he finds his newest toy to destroy.
*Stevie Rae*
The ride back to her dorm was more than uneventful, and if it wasn't for the super load engine from the bike, and from traffic, pretty dang quiet.
Neither she nor Rephiam had said anything ever since he agreed to take her back to her apartment. She didn't think it smart to start up conversation while competing over the sound over dozens of New Yorkers in traffic.
Faster then she thought it would be, she arrived at the entrance at her apartment building.
She removed the helmet Rephiam had handy on hand(she decided it would be best not to question why) and gave it back while trying to figure out how to dismount from the bike.
"If it'll help, it's like dismounting a horse." He offered when he figured she was having problems getting off.
"Are you saying that because of my twang? Just because I'm not from around here, doesn't automatically mean I've ridden horses. I don't even like them." She huffed.
"I only just assumed. I apologize. You swing your leg over one side and step off." He said, and as if to demonstrate, he got off of his bike to help her off.
Well pick her off was more like it, since she didn't get a chance to follow his instructions before his hands were around her waist lifting her, and then landing her down on the ground. She noted that even though she was securely on the ground his grip still held where they were. Not that the majority of her mind cared though.
"Soo…" Stevie Rae trailed on. "I guess this is bye for real huh?" She said awkwardly.
"Perhaps." He said, but she knew the real context, hell her words held the same; "It's better that way."
"C-ca… Can I see your face? Just one last time?" Stevie Rae managed to ask after a moment of silence, and instantly regretted it feeling the heat rise up to her cheeks.
He didn't say anything, but he did remove his helmet. And Stevie Rae's words and breath was caught dead stuck in her throat.
His eyes were trained especially on her, and she could see longing in them, but she also saw some sadness in them. Though the why she couldn't explain.
Then the scent was wrapped around her like a curtain, and she knew what it was the moment she first smelled it.
It was Rephiam's scent. That dark, powerful, scent that had entrapped her, the night where she discovered him shot and bleeding in the alley way, with his blood staining her dress.
She couldn't help herself, she really couldn't. The sight of him, the scent of him, the feel of his hands still wrapped around her, it was driving her to madness.
She stood on her toes and kissed him. Her lips connecting to his with an intense spark that should couldn't help moving her body closer to him.
Stevie Rae felt a moments, surprise and hesitation from him, but that was quickly passed as she felt him kiss her back, wrapping his arms entirely around her waist, with his hands reaching upward. Moving slowly, oh so slowly.
She could feel his tongue teasing her lips, as if to ask for permission, which she obliged without question. Soon his tongue completely took control of her entire mouth, ravaging it completely, leaving her tongue completely defenseless. A kiss she never thought she would ever like, but coming from him, it was bliss, and she wouldn't want it any other way. And his taste was ten times better than the scent of him and she couldn't get enough of it.
His arms wrapped tighter around her bringer her closer, to deepen the kiss. She, in turn, raised her hands to dangle around his neck.
The kiss lasted for what seemed like an eternity. Until it was ended for the two of them to break apart for a breath, but both of their faces still lingered close to the others.
Then Rephiam bent down further and kissed her neck sensuality, making Stevie Rae exhale any breathe she had out of her throat in a deep gasp and a moan. Then he started back up to meet her lips yet again.
It was Stevie Rae's turn to break the kiss as she trailed down to his neck. She kissed his neck of course, but she had this strange urge to bit him. She couldn't explain it; all she could do was react by it. She nipped him lightly on his neck, and heard him hiss, but she knew it wasn't from pain, by the way his grip tightened. And after she had her taste she went back to meet lip to lip again.
This moment was too perfect for Stevie Rae to imagine, but with anything perfect, it must ultimately end. As the thoughts of how wrong this scene was came crashing over her.
'Are you CRAZY! This guy is dangerous. He leads a deadly biker gang that is feared by everyone in this city, and probably for good reason. Don't kid yourself you know he probably only wants that one thing. And besides, you already have someone, what are you doing macking on someone else? Don't be a cheater Stevie Rae.' He mind yelled at her, giving her some control back to break away from Rephiam completely.
But it was okay, because he did the same. As if they both had the thoughts that they shouldn't have been doing what they just did, but they were both still panting.
"So, uh…" She couldn't meet his gaze this time, fearing that if she did she wouldn't be able to keep her control anymore. Again.
"Good-bye." She said as she rushed back to her escape to her dorm room.
"Good-bye Stevie Rae." She heard Rephiam's voice that sounded like it was carried by an unusual breeze that drifted its way towards her.
Told you that this chapter was worth it didn't I? Hehehehe YAY! I FINALLYY MADE THEM KISS! And don't worry, that good-bye really isn't legit. They'll see each other again. R&R. PEACE!
