VENOMOUS
CHAPTER 1:
BITTEN
October 31st 2010.
It was 1am on a cold Autumn night, and rain was falling from the dark sky upon Route 7. 15 drivers had gathered for a high-speed race around certain parts of the highway, but they were one man short.
The organizer of the race, a tall, muscular man named Flynn, was starting to get impatient.
Flynn: “Wheres that damn Cobra? He said he would show.”
Fellow Racer: “I don't kn- Wait a second, listen to that.”
The trembling sound of a V-8 was approaching from the distance, and before long...
Flynn: “There he is.”
]
A dark red blur was shooting towards them, and is it approached, they could make out the muscular, curvacious shape. It was an AC Cobra 427 S/C. The Driver of the Cobra, whose name was Daniel, pulled up and exited his car, carefully stepping over the boiling Exhaust Pipes.
Flynn: “You're late. I hope you have said goodbye to your car, because as of today, she's mine. I hope you know that whoever wins gets their pick of anyone’s car here?”
Daniel: “Feeling pretty confident aren't you? Lets not forget that my baby isn't even stock. She has a supercharger, a 5-Speed Transmission and a Custom Suspension setup. Lets not forget the Sports Soft tyres.”
Flynn: Well then, when I win I can enjoy the upgrades you have fitted.”
Dan turned around and slipped back into the Cobra and strapped himself into the four-point harness. Turning the key, the 7 liter engine turned over and then roared into life. He felt his heartbeat rise and he started to shake slightly. He always felt like this before a race...
Flynn: “We will initiate a rolling start. Once we are off, we turn right to exit the Highway, go around the 180 hairpin and follow the road back onto the Highway. 1st one out of the tunnel on the return run wins.”
Visibility was poor. Dan could hardly see a thing. They rolled down the Highway and started the race. Instantly, Dan stuck his right foot deep into the carpet and shot forward. The Cobra raised its nose under the acceleration and Dan dived to the right to overtake the Z06 ahead.
He overtook the Corvette with ease, and set about passing a pair of Camero Z28's.
Fellow Driver: “Holy.... That Cobra is insane! He is riding that thing up against that wall in this weather! Nutter...”
]
Staying up against the wall, Dan and his Cobra had overtaken most of the field. Only three vipers, one driven by Flynn, were stopping him from leading the pack.
Dan, who was now approaching the 1st turn, Dived into the slipstream of third position and felt an increase of speed.
Dan: “I have you now!!” he screamed in excitement. He overtook the Viper under braking for the 1st turn and had caught up with the leaders. However, at the hairpin he floored it too early and almost spun out, which allowed Flynn in his gray Viper to pass.
Dan: “Damn it”
Coming down onto the return run, Dan had pulled along side Flynn and overtook him with ease. He then dived into the leaders slipstream.
Flynn: “Noo!”
Dan had pulled into 1st, but Flynn had found extra speed due to slipstream and was now aiming straight for Dan's rear...
Flynn: “If I can't beat that Cobra without taking him out, then I will just have to kill him.”
Smack! The Vipers front had connected with the Cobra's rear bumper.
Dan yelled as his car swung violently from the crash. He slid left into the wall, and then veered right, into the paths of his opponents.
The Red Viper hit into the Cobra's side, sending Dan straight into the metal rails. Another driver in a Blue Z06 hit into it too.
]
Dan span about 5 times before coming to a stop in the middle of the road where he laid unconcious in his wrecked car.
