''Is everything alright?'' Kayden asked him.
''Except one sprained ankle and few scratches, everything is fine. Luckily, when she fell, her head wasn't hit so she didn't have a concussion. You're free to go whenever you want.'' Doctor said.
''Thank you.'' Harper said. Doctor smiled at them and left. Kayden was relieved that she was fine afterall. So he didn't have any business with her anymore.

He helped her to walk out of the hospital with one crutch.
''Since you're fine, you can go with cab home. Here.'' He gave her 50 dollars out of his pocket. She accepted it because there was no way that she could go home like this.
''Thank you. For taking taking care of me and giving me money for the cab.'' She smiled appreciately.
''It's nothing. Next time look up when you walk.'' He said and walked to his motorcycle.

It was Sunday when Harper usually stayed at home. She enjoyed spending time that day because she knew her parents didn't have much time over the week. Being a daughter of the neurosurgeon and the head nurse wasn't that good. She rarley had time to spend with her parents and being an only child was a total disaster.

Her parents both had night shift at Sunday so she just had half of the day with them. At 8 p.m. her mom was getting ready to leave and her dad already left because of a surgery. So she was left alone again.
''Bye, sweetheart. Call me if something happens and eat your dinner.'' Her mom kissed her forehead and got out of the house.

Sighing, Harper took a banana and ate it. She wasn't that hungry so she didn't bother making something. Her phone rang suddenly. She saw it's her friend Nasie.
''Hello?'' Harper answered the call. She heard loud roars of engines in the background.
''Hey, Harper. Do you want to come here? I'm with my boyfriend. We are watching races.'' Nasie suggested. Harper felt uneasy with the sudden call. Her inner rebel wanted to go, but her innocent mind was scared.

''I don't know, Nasie. It can be dangerous.'' She said.
''It's not. Just come here and see. Please, I want you to meet my boyfriend Walter too. Please.'' Her friend insisted. Harper sighed in defeat.
''But if something happens, I'm coming back home. I'll be there just because of you.'' Harper firmly said. And it created reassurance in her heart.
''Thank you. I'll send you the address.'' Nasie squealed and hung down. Soon the message with the address came on Harper's phone.

She went to get dressed and called the cab. She told the address to the driver. When they arrived at the place, driver immediately sped off. This place was full of the racing bikes and scary looking people. Harper slowly walked through the people and found her friend leaned on the wall.
''Harper! Hey!'' Nasie shouted excitedly and hugged her.
''Hey.'' Harper said smiling a little.

''This is my boyfriend Walter. And Walter this is Harper, my best friend.'' Nasie looked at her boyfriend who dropped the cigarette and shook Harper's hand.
''Nice to meet you. I consider you as my friend too from now on.'' Walter smiled at her and put his arm around Nasie's waist.
''What is this place?'' Harper asked curiously.

''We have races here. Just now, one is finishing.'' Walter said.
''You don't race?'' She asked Walter.
''No, I'm just a watcher.'' He chuckled. She nodded in understanding and stood next to Nasie. She got startled when people there started to cheer and whistle. She concluded that riders were coming back and one of them was already winning.

''And the winner is Boss.'' Man who was on the car, yelled over the group. Kayden won the race and stopped with the smoke coming from his tires. Harper's eyes widened when she recognized him. She nudged Nasie in the shoulder.
''That's the man who almost hit me then brought me in the hospital.'' She said to her. Nasie widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked at Harper like she did some crime.

''That's their Boss.'' Nasie said.
''That's my boss Kayden. He is the leader of our gang. He usually wins when he participates in races so it's not that big of a surprise.'' Walter chuckled. Harper was stunned with his sudden appearance. She didn't expect to find him here.
''Where is the bathroom here?'' Harper asked Nasie.
''Go by this stairs. The house is open and the bathroom is on the left.'' Nasie said to her. Harper looked at the stairs that led to some kind of a house. She walked up the stairs and entered that house.

She opened the door to the bathroom and was slightly disgusted. It wasn't that clean just how she is used to, but it was an emergency. After finishing, she washed her hands and got out. But she bumped into some girl. Ready to apologize, Harper saw it was a girl from school. And she didn't like her.
''Oh my God!'' She squealed dramatically.
''Is this Two Color Witch? What is she doing in such a dangerous place? You better hurry home to your mommy and daddy.'' The girl mocked her and pushed her back.

Harper supressed her tears back and lowered her gaze. She flinched when she felt hands around her waist. The person pushed her back to its hard chest. She felt breath right on her neck then a kiss.
''Hey, babygirl! What are you doing here without me?'' Kayden said out loud. That girl's eyes bulged out of her head. She could feel her hands already trembling. He gave a deadly look to the girl who looked at the floor.

''Has this girl been bothering you?'' He squeezed her hands gently. Harper nodded her head which made Kayden smirk. Why he felt protective over this girl, he didn't know, but he for sure didn't like that someone was upsetting her.
''I'll take care of her later. Now come here.'' He said, pulling her towards one of the free bedrooms. He turned the light on and closed the door.

''Tell me why the f*ck are you here?'' He seethed. Kayden thought she didn't know about these things. By her demanour that day, he thought that she is innocent.
''My friend called me here. I didn't know about this place.'' She said and sat on the bed. She at least felt comfortable with the person she already met before, even if it was once.
''This is a dangerous place. I don't want to see you here ever again.'' He said.

''Why?'' She said sadly. She kind of liked the adrenaline and the company of her friend.
''What why? People like you don't belong here.'' He snapped.
''People like me? You mean Two Color Witch? Just say that you too, think lowly of me.'' She said disappointed at his words.
''What are you talking about? Who is that Two...something?'' Kayden asked confused.

''That's me. I'm Two Color Witch. Stupid nickname just because of this awful eyes. Just say that I look like a monster. I hate them.'' She yelled. He looked at her in disbelief. Her eyes were the most beautiful thing he saw in his 23 years. He took her hand and sat on the other side of a bed in front of the mirror. He sat her between his legs and pulled the big mirror in front of her.

''Look at your eyes.'' He said. She brought her face towards the mirror and looked at her eyes.
''Do you know why people bully you? Because this face is beautiful.'' He took her face between his fingers. She blushed at his words as she was looking at his reflection in the mirror.
''So you think they are jealous?'' She asked confused.
''Yes. Your eyes are beautiful. They are jealous because they have only one color and it's not even pretty like yours.'' He said amused wanting to make her smile.

''Why are you nice to me, Kayden?'' She asked him.
''You have that something, but to be honest, I don't know.'' He confessed.
''Don't worry. There are many people who still have to find an answer to their questions.'' She reassured him. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek.
''Will you help me find out?'' He whipered in her ear. Her face heated and she nodded shyly.
''I will if you want.'' She answered.

He laughed at her cuteness. He leaned his head on her shoulder and looked at both of them in the mirror. They looked good together. He buried his nose deeper in her neck to inhale her scent.
''Kayden, it tickles me.'' She giggled, pushing him. He smiled teasing her some more.
''You smell so good, baby.'' He said, flipping them on the bed. Laughter filled the room when he gave her a tickle attack.
