Chapter Ten

I rev my bike, the powerful roar of the engine mingling with the other bikes to create a deafening cacophony. Lucas is lined up next to me on my right, while Archer flanks me on the left. Romy is next to him, with Declan on the other side of Archer. Just like the last few races, none of them have a girl riding behind them.

Taylor volunteers to start the race tonight and she slowly walks up and down in front of the bikers, a loudhailer in her hands.

“You all know the rules,” she says. “There aren’t any! Just ride your fastest and your hardest, first across the finish line wins. If you want to team up with another rider to take someone out…” She glares at me. “Feel free, but remember-–there’s still only one winner. You have Lucas and Ivy to thank for tonight’s route, so if you’ve got any problems with it, take it up with them. Now rev your engine if you’re ready to race!”

I flip down the visor on my helmet and rev my bike. Adrenaline courses through me as Taylor makes her way to the side, safely out of the way of the bikes.

“Ready… Set… Go!”

The second she gives the word, I release the brakes and slam on the gas. My bike lurches forward, quickly picking up speed. I’d chosen my bike for its powerful acceleration, knowing that once I was out front, it would be easier for me to maintain my lead than try to take it from someone else.

I come up to the first bend, a sharp turn which takes me into the grounds of the Archaic estate. With my father being away for the foreseeable future, Lucas and I decided to make the race partly off road, knowing we had bikes in the garage which could cope with the difficult terrain better than most of our competitors. When we heard the groans as the others saw the course, we’d both grinned, knowing our decision had the impact we wanted it to have.

I take my bike across the grass, following the route which Lucas spent all afternoon marking out. Heading up a slope, my bike takes off when it reaches the top and I fly through the air for a few feet before coming back down to earth. I can hear the sound of bikes following me and there is a scream as someone crashes. I didn’t dare risk looking back to see who it is. I have a race to win!

I lean into the next bend, my bike so close to the ground I almost fall, but I grip the handlebars tightly, determined to show the boys who’s boss. The next bit of the race involves weaving through the trees in the small forest on the estate, requiring lightning fast reflexes. I’m forced to slow down a little, which allows Lucas to shoot past me. He raises his hand in salute and I narrow my eyes. There is no way I am going to let Lucas beat me.
