Free * Purely Invisible Angel

What do I not know?

You could of heard a pin drop, as everyone stared at me in silence, but my eyes were locked on the disheveled dark haired guy behind Luce, his gray eyes seemed to search mine for an answer.

But the words had slipped from my mouth without direction, I looked down at the floor confused, then looking back up I asked.

"You are Morax aren't you? That's what Rax its short for?" I pressed, he nodded, though he looked unnerved by my question.

"Why aren't I-" He cleared his throat. "supposed to be here?" He asked, I wracked my brain, I wasn't sure, but an answer spilt out anyway.

"Raphael? Do you know a Rahael? That's all I know."  I answer, a ninja turtle, that's who he needed to worry about?

Everyone nodded at my words, they all bowed deeply at the waist as they passed, I felt awkward, all then slipped out the front door, as my eyes followed their exit, I noticed the older men at the poker table also left.

I turned to Luce and Rach the only other 2 in the bar.

"Who is Raphael?" As I asked, both their jaws dropped.

"You're warning us but you don't know why?" Rach mutters clearly taken aback.

"Umm yep?" I answer, she tops up my drink, Luce on the other hand drains his, then I follow suit as he heads for the front door, this had been a weird night, full of weird people, why had I known that guys name?

What the hell sort of name was Morax?

I slipped onto the bike behind Luce, tightening my helmet, he'd put my coat in the saddle bag, and shoved his own helmet on but didn't wait for the bike to warm, pulling out of there, the bike dug deep spitting gravel, he gave it a gut full, streaking down the road, we roared out of there.

I wondered who we were avoiding.

I knew we were doing more then the speed limit, still Luce pushed the bike harder, everything blurred past, my heart thumped against my chest, I grabbed at my chest.

My vision flashed, between now and my dream, the wind bit into my face the same, was I flying or falling? I told myself I was with Luce, I was safe but fear coiled in my gut again.

Suddenly Luce gasped and the bike swerved violently, he hit the breaks throwing me into his back.

Everything went black.

"Cassie! Cassie!.." The voice was urgent but faint as it reached my ears.

I opened my eyes, my vision cleared, Luce was above me, blood leaked from his hairline, I reached to touch it.

"Hey, you ok?" He asked, I dropped my arm, nodding, sending pain through my body, winching I ignored it.

"Yeah I'm fine, just bruised." my voice sounds hoarse, Luce help me to sit up.

"What happened?" I asked, Luce's eye look away, as he swallows before answering.

"I felt you were distressed, when looked over my shoulders the bike jerked in front of a truck so I swerved to miss it, but the brakes locked on and we went flying over the front." He swallowed. "I am so sorry, I thought I'd killed you." 

I smiled, winching at the pain.

"You're not that lucky, I'm fine." I reply as Luce offers his phone.

I use it to see my reflection, my helmet is shaved down to inside casing, and the front has broken off exposing my jaw though it only has a gravel rash, and bloods clotting as a deep gash across my exposed collar bone.

"Holy shit." I breath, looking up he nods.

"We hit a guard rail, the steel sliced your collar bone as you hit it. I'm so sorry." He shoves his hands in his pocket, I look around for the bike, it was about 10 meters away on the side of the road, Luce must of turned it off and stood it up at some point.

"Will it get us home?" I ask, Luce looks shocked but nods.

"Yeah it should as long as it starts." he says.

"Good, we aren't telling anyone what happened, including my parents, I'll never be able see you again and technically it was my fault." I felt like Luce was hiding something else but didn't push.

I threw my helmet away, wasn't much it could do for me now, and my head throbbed at it's pressure now, it was out of shape.

"Take me to your and we'll go from there." I said, as I took out my phone, it was smashed, but it still showed the time, 5.30am, s**t, this would be complicated.

Luce headed over to the bike, it took 3 attempts but she started, I slid in behind him, everything screamed in pain, but I didn't want anyone finding us and telling my parents, so off we went at a lot slower pace.

Turns out we had been a lot closer than I'd thought, after about 30 mins we arrived out the front of what I assumed was Luce's house, easing myself off the bike, a door slammed, I tensed looking up.

Mr East stood there blinking at me, he looked at Luce and finally the mangled bike, he turned heading back inside he held the door, whilst Luce limped towards him, I followed, now that the adrenaline had worn off, I suspected I had more injuries then I first realised.

How was I going to hide this from mum and dad, more importantly Jasper?

Tonight had been a series of major f**k ups and now I had Mr East, eyeing me suspiciously, I'd barely spoken to him since he'd proposed we should date.

Kill me now.
