Chapter Three - The Death
1028 Words
Alice's POV
As I drew closer to Jake's lake house, the smell of booze became stronger, and I could already hear the sound of music even though the taxi was still a few streets away.
I furrowed my brows in confusion. Something weird is going on with me. I was able to jump through the window, which did not sound possible. Now, how can I hear the music from the party when I am only a few streets away? Does this have anything to do with the transformation that Gran Gran and Rowan were talking about? Should I have listened to them and stayed at home?
I shake off such a thought. A little voice in my head reminds me that it is time to party! Rowan and Gran Gran have never liked the idea of me partying late at night. I guess they were just trying to stop me. That must be why they mentioned the whole werewolf crap. I doubt any of that is true.
The taxi eventually pulls to a stop in front of Jake's lake house. I slowly got out, got out of the car and adjusted the hem of my dress. I caught the taxi driver gazing at my thighs and licking his lips seductively. I mutter a cuss under my breath and feel the urge to punch him in the face until he bleeds.
Wait, where did such intrusive thoughts come from? I groan in frustration and run a hand through my hair. Am I going crazy? What is wrong with me, and why am I suddenly irritated by everything?
"Come on baby, you have not paid me yet." The taxi driver says. I ignored him and began to walk towards the entrance of the lake house. There is a large pool outside where half naked adults are.
"Hey you! Pay me my money you crazy b***h!" The taxi driver continually yells from a distance. I gritted my teeth in anger and turned to gaze at him with wide eyes. I attempt to lash at him, but I suddenly feel someone grab me by the wrist.
I turn around to gaze at Jake, I release a heavy sigh, I suddenly feel calm by his familiar face. "What is going on and why are you late for your own birthday party?" Jake yells, his voice struggles to overshadow the Latino music now playing loud.
"This taxi driver is a f*****g pervert. You should have let me kill me." I sneered and eyed the taxi driver in disdain. Jake chuckles and rolls his eyes at me. "Kill him? Are you drunk already? Calm down baby girl. I will handle him." Jake says, he pushes me to stand behind him while Jake slowly reasons with the taxi driver.
The driver eventually leaves. I take it as a hint to gaze at the outside decorations. Jake really did put in so much effort. I clap my hands and smiled. "You actually outdid yourself Jake, I am so proud of you." I grinned excitedly.
"Wait till you see the inside." Jake pauses to grab my hand. "Come on." He leads me towards the entrance door. Jake pushes the door open and everyone suddenly yells "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALICE!"
I staggered backward and placed both of my hands on my ears. I have felt that same sharp pain since this morning. I grit my teeth as I feel electricity course through my veins. A drop of tear falls from my eyes at the pain I feel inside. What is going on with me?
"Alice?" Jake's soft voice jolts me out of my thoughts. I snap my head up to gaze at him. "Are you okay?" He asks. I nodded my head in agreement and forced a smile on my face.
"Yeah, I just need a drink." I turned around and walked towards the bar where the music was lower and not too crowded.
I settled down on one of the stools and ordered a bottle of tequila. I gulp the liquid as my eyes roam the dance floor. My jaw drops when my eyes catch my boyfriend, Alex, making out with some random girl at my party? I clutched the bottle tight, and I suddenly felt anger rise in me. How could he do that to me? On my birthday? At my own party?
I feel tears prick at the corner of my eyes. I rose to my feet and attempted to walk towards them, but Jake suddenly appeared in my way. "Just leave them to have fun for the night. You can have your own fun as well." He says, winking at me.
I scoffed. "He is kissing another girl at my own party? I do not care if it is fun or whatever you call it. That is still cheating to me." I snapped at Jake.
Jake rolls his eyes at me and raises his hand in mock surrender. "Give yourself a break Alice. You look stressed out. Just have the night to yourself, and then you can confront him tomorrow at school." He says.
Jake is right. I am not going to let anyone ruin my birthday. Jake offers me another bottle of alcohol, which I gladly. I drink to the point that my eyesight becomes blurry and my head feels light. I staggered back and forth. "I wanna dance!" I squealed excitedly. Jake nods his head and leads me towards the staircase.
We halt at our steps at the staircase. All of a sudden, Jake's hands begin to roam around my body. He grabs me by the waist and plants kisses on my neck.
"Let g-o off me! What a-re y-ou doing?" I stuttered, pushing Jake off me.
"Come on, you wench, kiss me!" Jake yells at me. My ears started ringing, and I felt this sudden anger rise in me.
I grab Jake by the neck and lift him up. A frightened look appeared on his face. Without wasting any more time, I s***h Jake's throat and I watch in satisfaction as his blood slowly drips from my fingers.
I dump Jake's lifeless body on the floor until I eventually succumb to the darkness.
