Crimson Moon: Chapter 2- right place, wrongs time

Angel stepped out of her car as her crew members laughed, "Late to the pre-party like always Angel!" Angel smirks a bit "you know I love to make an entrance. Alright boys, let's get them." Angel walks out of her hidden car port and to the main building where you could hear music and people. Angel smirks as she stares at the doors, her crew behind her. "Uh ma'am? What's going to happen when we walk in?" Angel glances back then laughs "whatever you want to happen." The 5 '2 female pushes the doors open and in a flash a pair of wings are at Angel's back, brown from the shoulder to white at the tip.

     All eyes turned to see the interruption of the party. The music stopped and Angel bows a bit, "I hope I didn't miss too much~ it's never a party without me here." Angel's wings went away and she winced a bit then saw Yosuki walking to her. "Thank god you are here! We need to talk about the race today with Chase." Angel's eyes squinted at Yosuki 'since when did Chase like this guy..' "Well if it's Chase then I guess it's important." Yosuki nodded and motioned for her to follow him into the crowd he had just come out of. Angel hesitates for a second then follows him.

     She was led to the VIP section of the party and she could already see some of the other racers and some new faces she had never seen before. Angel followed Yosuki until they came upon a booth that had one male and a female clinging to the male in the booth. "Ah Mistress! There you are." Angel sighs and smiles a bit at. "Hey Chase~ so since when you start doing deals with posers like mr red over here." Angel's hands lean on to the table and she looks at Chase with a smile. Yosuki gasped to her left and went to rebuttal but was shut down by Chase.

     "Oh I don't, I just wanted him to find you dear." Angle tries not to laugh as she hears Yosuki grumble some curses under his breath. "But I'm not here for games Angel." Angel blinked a bit at the now actually serious Chase, 'in all my years- damn.' Chase motioned off his paid escort. The girl got up and walked past Angel smiling at her. Angel just bites the inside of her cheek as she sits down and looks at Chase. "Okay so you know I care about you and what happens to you right?" Angel nods a bit and Chase takes three stacks of 100 dollar bills. Angel blinked a bit as she looked at the money. "Holy shit.. that's a lot of money."

     Chase nods as Angel runs her hands down the side of the money. "It's all betting money, but only for a thing." Angel looked at Chase confused.

"It's all bets from the new people, that you'll flip."

     That made Angel's heart drop to the floor. Every single new face she had seen now had a target on her from the moment they saw her name on the roster for the races. She should have known better than to put her name in early for the racing ballets. Angel sighs and looks at Chase. "What do you want me to do?"

"Win."

     Angel looked at Chase like he was crazy. "What-" Chase put his hand up to hush the smaller demon. "I know it may sound crazy but someone has bet all the other winnings on you winning big." Angel blinked and looked at Yosuki who just shrugged at her. "Who even has that much betting money?" Chase got out an envelope and showed it to Angel. The envelope had no name on it, just instructions for the bet and what to do. Angel took the envelope and tried to see if she could tell the hand writing at all but it didn't ring a bell in her head at all.

     The lightly tan female groaned and ran a hand down her face. "So- I have to win, what do I get in return?" "From what was said you get the winnings at the end of the race." Angel blinked at Chase in pure confusion. Angel went to say something then feed back from a mic hushed the entire party. "Alright everyone we will begin announcing racers so racers get ready to comeback stage." Angel looked at Yosuki and the red demon nodded a bit to the stage. The small demon sighed then looked at Chase. "I'll see you after the race."

     Chase nodded, "I'll be here. you be safe out there Mistress." Angel nods a bit then walks away with Yosuki. The taller red demon looked at the shorter light olive demon, "Angel.. Are you okay?" she sighed and looked at Yosuki. "This is about to be a hell of a race.." Yosuki nodded a bit looking in front of him again, "Have any clue who might have done the bets?" Angel rolled her eyes at the question, "Who do you think? There are so many new faces you couldn't figure it out before he even said anything?" Yosuki just rounded his mouth and went quiet.

     They both walked backstage and the line was already starting to form as people were ready to be called up to the stage. Music started to play from the stage and that hushed right about everyone in the crowd and behind the curtains. Angel stood to the side as she knew her name was in the middle of the list.  Angel sighed as she looked at the crowd of racers new and old, some trying to get ready, some not. She heard her name called behind her which made her turn and lock eyes with two deep purple orbs in the darkness.
