Luna watched Allan look at her through his rear view mirror, her breath hitched when she met his eyes. His eyes softened, however, Luna's blue eyes glared back with a decent amount of animosity. Allan looked away and from what Luna could see he seemed upset.
'Too bad for him,' Luna scoffed. 'He started this three years ago, I'm just finishing it.'
Luna looked to the left of Allan's car, the Aston sat silently next to the Supra. Luna knew that Wolf was waiting for Colin and Rog to be ready. And when there were three flashes of the floodlights from the Supra's bumper, that started the race down the canyon and into the city.
The five cars launched forward with Wolf leading, Allan in second with Luna gaining on him and the others following quickly. Luna's car roared loudly, the sound echoing off the canyon. Allan had brought his Supra to compete with three Exotics, the cars were known to be able to catch very high speeds while going downhill. Though the Supra was a Tuner, an amazing drifter, Luna had always had a talent with drifting and currently she was side by side with the Supra.
Allan looked to his side, he could see Luna was focused on her task. Narrowing his eyes he swerved his car toward Luna trying scare her. Instead, she sped up to dodge him and he barely missed her car's bumper. Cursing he shifted to catch up. Allan was frustrated that Luna was here, she was very dangerous. And through his frustration Allan realised that no matter what he did she was going to fight to stay in this race. He growled softly.
"Damn it Luna..."
Luna laughed as she passed Allan. Her car purred as it caught up to Wolf's Aston Martin. With the winding road Luna gazed at the city that glowed in the distance. It was beautiful, some of the lights flickered and danced throughout the city. Time seemed to slow down as Luna started to delve into her thoughts.
'It all came to this. It didn't have to, but we all caused this. All of us.' Luna watched the tail lights on the Aston. 'I'm the main reason for this aggression, I let my anger get the best of me and it lead to this. We may die and unfortunately I'm ready to accept that fate. As long as, Wolf, Colin and Rog get to live. I'll die for them, if that's what it takes...'
Luna felt her car jerk forward from a force behind her. Shouting in surprise Luna struggled to keep her car away from the edge of the road. Luna stepped down more on the pedal trying to give her car the most amount of gasoline to give the engine what it needed to produce more horsepower. The car roared and moved away from the one behind it. The bumper groaned and creaked from the damage. Luna swore loudly, Allan was onto her and that concerned her a bit.
"This is bloody ridiculous!" Luna shouted to no one. "Just go away or die, it doesn't matter which!"
Looking in her rearview mirror Luna tsked softly. The race was only a quarter done and she was about to do something stupid, because as she rounded another curve she slowed down to allow Allan to take the second place spot. However, she did not lag very far behind Allan she stayed almost bumper to bumper. Luna needed to apply pressure to throw him off his game and allow her to carry out her stupid plan.
She only had minutes to accomplish this. Looking at her GPS she got her exact time, she had two and a half minutes.
'Just enough time...'
Allan glanced back at Luna wondering what was wrong with her. She never raced like this, if his last encounter with her showed anything. She was a fierce racer and hated losing, so why did she let him pass her. Perhaps, she was finally backing down and leaving this fight to Wolf.
His car twisted around another canyon curve, the tires squealed in protest. The Supra's tires kicked up smoke as the car drifted. Its headlights finally shined on the back of the Silver Aston Martin. The sound of the two cars echoed throughout the canyon, it sounded like monsters stalking the massive drops and high cliffs. The cars obeyed their masters and with squealing tires and roaring engines they raced down the winding Canyon Road. The other cars followed closely like a pack of hungry wolves waiting to see who would win this battle.
Breathing deeply Allan looked ahead to see the finish line marked with green flares. Only a minute to go in the race and Allan could feel the excitement and rush that those green markers gave him already. He had to pass Wolf or knock him off the road, he needed to win.
However, fate was not on his side. Luna saw the markers and initiated her stupid plan. She rammed the back of the Supra quite forcefully causing it to hit the metal edge barrier, breaking it. Time slowed as the Supra barely hung onto the cliff edge, its tires squealing and crunching against the gravel beyond the road. The car kept its grip on the edge of the road just long enough to have the side of the car hit the concrete barrier near a tunnel entrance. The car wedged itself on the barrier stopping the car roughly. The BMW skid to a halt on the left side of the road, the front bumper bearing its battle scar. A large jagged crack where the Beamer crashed into the Supra. The Beamer's engine let out a soft hiss as Luna shut off the engine. From her vantage point she saw Wolf cross the finish line and wait.
Colin and Rog slowed their cars and stopped to see what happened. All they saw was all they knew. The Supra was wrapped partially around a concrete barrier and the airbags had deployed and the Beamer sat parallel to it with severe frontal damage. Colin immediately parked and shut of his car to go and check on Luna. He hopped out of the car and made a mad dash to the Beamer. As he did Luna stepped out of the car slowly, she admired her handiwork.
"Luna!" Colin called. "Are you okay?"
He wrapped his arms around her tightly. He held her closely and protectively.
Luna's muffled voice drifted into his ears, "I'm fine..."
Colin pulled away enough to see her face.
"I made him lose," Luna looked over to see Rog pulling out an unconscious and bloodied Allan. "I couldn't let him win, I caused all of this and I had to solve it too."
Colin nodded softly and let her go completely, the familiar growl of the Aston approached and died. Wolf had come to see where they were and found the scene. He became worried and looked to see Allan in terrible shape. His eyes quickly moved to find Luna. When they did she was unharmed and walking quickly in his direction. She looked desperately at his face for signs of his happiness, she found only worry.
"It's okay." Luna murmured as she threw herself into his arms. "He leaves with his stupid hired crew."
Rog leaned Allan against the concrete barrier next to the wrecked Supra, "I contacted the Blacklist 15 members and they round up the "friends" of Allan and they're heading this way to collect this piece of trash and leave Palmont. For Good."
Wolf nodded and held Luna against himself. They were lucky that this road was always deprived of traffic. It allowed them to hear any cars approaching. And true to Rog's words Allan's band of misfits showed up. Only one car stopped and a man that looked a lot like Allan stepped out it.
"You're all lucky," He yelled at them. "You are all lucky you didn't kill my little brother. I would've killed all of you."
He carefully grabbed Allan and put him in the back seat of the black Mercedes he was driving. He shut the back door and glared at Luna and Wolf one last time before getting into the vehicle and speeding away into the canyon and away from Palmont City.
Luna sniffed softly, "it's over, we did it. We did it."
"Yes, yes we did." Wolf whispered softly to Luna. "We need to go now, we can't be seen at the site of a car accident."
The group nodded and they all retreated to their cars. The roars of the engines echoed out into the night as the group drove towards Palmont to start their lives anew without Allan, or any of his "friends".
'January 4th, XXXX
Dear Diary?
It's been several months since Allan was defeated, Palmont has become a warzone again. Nothing new right? Well except I started a new crew with all my old teammates and the Blacklist 15. They are a merry bunch now. They love it here in Palmont. Our crew is now called the Blacklist racers and that settles very well with everyone, we took over Silverton again and now are the most powerful crew. It's amazing.
On another note, Wolf and I have decided to have our wedding in May of this year. I cannot wait! Well okay, actually, I can. I'm not exactly too keen on the idea of fretting about a dress or the colour of the wedding decorations, or whatever. I'm just happy to know he doesn't hate me for all of my mistakes. Though I do regret one thing. I regret breaking Colin's heart, I can see it in his eyes. We had something special all those years ago and now I'm with his best friend and crew leader. I regret that. I loved him, and I still do.
I've been unfair, so unfair, to both Wolf and Colin. That's partially why I started this stupid diary. I need a way to keep myself sane during the day, while Wolf works. It gets a little lonely in his monster of a house, but I have my cars and my cat to entertain me. -rest of paragraph is scratched out-
Oh, before I forget to write this down, I've finally met Rida. She is such a strong and beautiful woman. She cheered up pretty quickly after I showed her around Palmont. I got to know her very well, and it seems she wants to move here to enjoy the city. I wouldn't mind seeing her more often, it would brighten up my boring days.
One thing I don't regret is my stupid plan. However, that man who took Allan with him struck me as a person who would enact revenge. So, we've all been on high alert just in case he wants to try something. I'm not too worried, I've got my friends to back me up and that is all I need.
Until tomorrow my Diary,
Luna Watson'
"You know you spend a lot of time with that thing, Luna."
Looking up Luna shut the journal, "well Wolf it gives me something to do during the day, that is not dress searching."
"Alright, but it's time for us to go to bed," Wolf motioned to the plush bed. "We have to chose the decorations for the wedding."
Getting up and stretching Luna, already in her night time clothes, crawled into bed. Wolf followed quietly and shut off the light.
"Good night, Wolf." Luna murmured quietly curling against him.
"Sleep well, my little queen."
Luna quickly jerked away and faced Wolf, "I think after the wedding we should just go travel to another place or city and stay there a bit."
Wolf opened one eye, "how about we go see my contacts in Redview County, they can set us up with some cars and some code names."
Luna laid back down, "sounds like a plan. Sleep well my love..."
A/N: Alright for starters, I want to thank everyone that has read and even followed this story. I also want to apologise about my long absence. Lately at school, I've been feeling overwhelmed and it got to the point where trying to plan this story seemed like school work. And this was from October of last year to now. With the start of the new year I have gotten more work, however, this time around I'm keeping up with the demand and have found out that waking up at 5 in the morning (two hours before my classes start) helps me to complete my work faster and have more time for myself. So, to my dear readers, I'm announcing that I will be making a sequel to this story by the name of Blank Slate. It will take place during the time and setting of Need for Speed Rivals. Well until then, I'm glad everyone read and enjoyed the final chapter of Street Queen's Rise. You all have been the ones giving me the inspiration to create writing as a hobby next to drawing and driving. Until next time, ciao!
