I froze in place, my legs unable to move.
Then my instincts kicked in and I screamed, diving to the side just as the bike reached me, collapsing onto the tarmac. The wheels came so close that I felt the whoosh of air as they passed me, the smell of burning rubber filling my nostrils.
What the actual fuck?
The bike skidded to a stop and slowly circled back towards me. I rose to my feet, my legs trembling, shuffling backwards into a small gap between two cars where the bike couldn’t reach me.
The rider lifted the visor on his helmet, and a pair of icy, soulless eyes met mine.
“What do you think you’re doing? You could have killed me, you absolute fucking lunatic!” My whole body was shaking. I’d never been so furious, or scared, in my life. Closing my eyes, I counted to ten, desperately trying not to fall apart in front of Zayde. Threats and being followed, I could handle. But endangering my life? What would have happened if I hadn’t jumped out of the way?
“Consider it a warning.” His voice was devoid of emotion, as he trapped me with his gaze.
I gaped at him. “What?”
“You should be very careful about who you make friends with.”
Almost the same thing Caiden had said to me earlier. “Have you been talking to Caiden?” My voice rose to a hysterical screech. “And I’ll ask you again, what do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to kill me?”
He ignored my questions. “Why are you here?”
“None of your business. I don’t owe you an explanation. And that goes for your friends, too.”
Curling his lips into a snarl, he spoke, low and threatening. “If you do anything to fuck with any of us, you’ll wish I had run you down. Your life won’t be worth living.”
With that, he snapped his visor back down and roared off, leaving me staring after him in shock.
