chapter 4

The music could be heard even from two blocks away . I shuddered at the thought of how loud the music would get when we were inside the house. I was nervous as hell, so was Scar by the looks of it. Sam being the jerk he was just laughed at us. 

"You know the party is inside a house, not here on the road . "Sam smirked.  

Before me or Scar could come up with a comeback he was already on his way . 

Glancing at each other and mentally assuring ourselves that we could do it , we reluctantly followed Sam. I looked around at our surroundings. The place was like an alley but better than one. There was no one around. Just cars everywhere, probably belonging to people who were attending the party. It looked like anything could happen here and no one would realise it . On the whole it looked creepy . 

After walking around for another 3 minutes we could finally saw the house. It was filled with teenagers, plastic cups were thrown around . The music was so loud that it made me cringe . 

Before getting into the house I stopped Scar which eventually led Sam to join in . 

"Don't ever leave me . Keep your phone with you and don't talk to anyone you don't know in darkened corners or non crowded places " I advised Scar like a mother . She just rolled her eyes and agreed. 

The girl who moments ago looked scared was rocking back and forth on her heels, in anticipation to get in already . While I was still hesitant to go in . 

"What are we waiting for. Let's go in already " Sam's voice interrupted my thoughts . Scar followed Sam with an eager face . I quickly followed them, fearing that i will get lost. 

The host of the party greeted Sam and us, while subtly trying to flirt with Scar but was stopped short by Sam's glare. The music inside the house made me cringe so bad. Even if we shouted we wouldn't be able to hear each other . I scanned the place. The house was huge, with two storeys. The furniture in the living room was pushed aside and made into a dance floor. There was a long table filled with drinks , most of them were alcoholic beverages. 

Scarlet dragged me to the dance floor as soon as Sam left in search of his friends. We danced for a while . Agreeing on getting a drink we made our way to the drinks section. I poured myself some coke from a sealed bottle while Scar settled for a glass of beer. Just then a tall guy with golden brown hair, hazel eyes and a muscular built approached us. I had to say he was very hot . As soon as he approached us he kissed Scarlet's hand with a twinkle in his eyes. 

"What good did i do to be blessed with the presence of this beauty?" He asked to which Scarlet blushed red. To save her from further embarrassment and also because of my curiosity I cleared my throat . The action seemed to have brought them out of their bubble because they both turned their attention to me at once . 

"Th- this is Landon . Samuel's friend- whom I told u about . Landon this is Fayth my best friend" she introduced quickly. Her actions made me put on a wicked smile. Feigning innocence I asked her 

"I don't remember a Landon....ohhhh Landon the guy u have a cru.... "Scarlet quickly covered my mouth before I could carry out my plan of embarrassing her. Shooting me an angry glare and a silent warning , telling me to shut my mouth she let go of me . A slow song played in the background and Landon dragged Scarlet away for a dance; apologising for having to leave me alone. I waved them off telling that I would be fine and that they should enjoy . 

I was kind of disappointed that I was left alone. I decided that I would go and explore the house for a while. I went upstairs right away and found an empty room with a big television , a few books . Quickly surveying it once and locking it behind me , I decided to stay here for the rest of the night, until Scar texted me when it was time to go home . I started watching the first movie I could find and got comfy in the bean bag .

Not even 30 minutes had passed when I heard a girl scream for help. I quickly got up and made my way towards the source of the sound. I saw that people around were too drunk to hear the cries of protest . Even though the logical part of my brain told me to get some help; a bigger part of me pushed me to walk faster as though it knew that I didn't have the time to call some one. 

I burst into the room to find a guy two years older or so , groping a girl whom he had pinned up against the wall . The girl was trying her best to get out of his hold but she couldn't. Without wasting a minute and without further thought I marched over to him and pulled him off from her .The girl slid down to the floor, while the guy stumbled due to the unexpected force. He looked quite sober.  

"What the heck do you think you are doing?" I shouted at him. To that he just smirked "Mind your own business or you can join us" saying that he turned back to the girl and shoved her onto the wall again . I pushed him once more and this time he got angry and slapped me . 

"You better get out from here and forget this ever happened or I am going to make your state worse than hers" he said with nostrils flarred with anger . 

The stinging in my cheeks would make a normal person run out of the room but this just angered me further . 

"How dare you molest or hit a girl " saying that I slapped him . He was shocked at my response as he stumbled back. Taking this as my advantage I punched his face and stomach . He doubled over in pain and fell on the ground. I took the purse which was lying next to the girl and hit him where the sun did not shine . He gave a howl of pain while I replied him by twisting his ankles with my boots .

" tell me Will you sexually abuse a girl again ?"I asked him increasing the pressure on his twisted ankles . 

"NO" he managed to croak out . I released the pressure to which he quickly got up and bolted out of the door as fast as his limping legs could allow him. I quickly turned to the girl who was looking at me with awe and gratitude from her place on the floor . "Are you ok?" I asked her, concern lacing my voice, to which she feebly nooded. 

"Thank you " she managed to say. I gave her a warm smile and helping her to stand up while all the while checking her for any injuries or damage. She looked pretty fine to me and I was greatful that I was not late. 

"I am Fayth. What's your name ?" I asked her, trying to make a conversation. 

"Emma" she replied . 

"Did you come with someone or did u come alone?"

"I accompanied my best friend " As soon as she said this a girl and a guy burst into the room with frantic eyes. "Where were you Emma. We were looking for you" The girl asked whom I suppose was her best friend. I quickly gave them a brief account on what happened.  Hearing this the girl's eyes widened and the boy fisted his hand that his knuckles turned white . He went out of the room perhaps in search of that asshole,While the girl took Emma out of the place after thanking me profusely.  

I made my way downstairs in search of Scarlet. Well to my surprise I found her sooner than I thought , with her already on her way to greet me.

One flaw was she didn't look normal at all. But by the way she kept giggling, wobbling on her legs and having a scared Landon hot on her heels; she looked 'not normal'. Well she looked drunk and was drunk.  

I sighed, the night was full of unexpected stuff and it looked like Scarlet also agreed to it by the look of her creepy smile .
