About ten minutes later I manage to clean the tacky drink stains off my skin, hair, and parts of the dress, while Riley blew up my phone with calls and texts threatening that she would murder me if she had the chance. I scoff at how quickly she could lose her temper, I walk to the door and as I tilt the metallic handle to leave, I hear a faint weeping noise coming from one of the toilet stalls, I slowly turn around as I scan the navy stalls in front of me.

The weeping was coming from the stall on the far right of the bathroom. Two thoughts pop into mind, either I'd ignore the person weeping their heart out in a bathroom stall and go back to rubbing against drunk horny guys, and be scolded like a 3 year old by Riley, or I'd stay in the bathroom for a little while and have a lil chit chat with the poor girl.

    My heels click-clack on the black marble floor of the bathroom, "um.. You need any help?" I gently press my ear to the surface of the stool. The weeping stops and is replaced with a constant sniffling sound.

"You ok back there?" I bite my lip.

    I could hear her adjust herself on the ceramic toilet, "I-I'm fine," her faint voice replies.

    I frown, "hope everything's ok," I didn't know what to tell her so I just turn and walk back to exit the bathroom, Riley's probably throwing tantrums at everyone in the club hunting me down.

    I hear the click of the lock from behind the stall, "wait.. C-can you help me with something?" Part of the girl's face peeked from the ajar door.

I smile and walk closer to the stall she stood behind, "sure,"

    Her face shifts away from my view and she opens the door a bit wider, allowing me to enter. A cold shiver trails down my spine, I hesitate slightly but enter anyway. I carefully step inside to find a petite girl around my age slouched in the corner of the stool, her shoulder length dark hair covered part of her face. She had smudged mascara around her emerald eyes. She crossed her arms over her petite body as we both stood there awkwardly in the tiny bathroom stall.

"Break up?" I press my back against the cold black tiles of the wall.

She shakes her head, her eyes glued to the floor.

"Dead family member?" I frown. She kept shaking her head after every question I ask her. I grew impatient the more I stood there in front of her without actually getting something out of her. I don't know why, but I kept getting this weird tingly feeling in my head, and the quick skip of my heart beat made me feel uneasy.

"What is it then?"

    She straightens her back and motions with her hand for me to come closer, I slowly move towards her while she leans close to my ear.

"I'm.. Hungry," she whispers, her voice instantly changed to a crackling hissing tone.

    I push her away from me and let out a shriek when I began to see her face slowly transform. Her eyes glowed and became more cat like, her lips spread into a grin revealing crooked teeth, and her skin turned a weird shade of green while disgusting scales formed in parts of her face and arms.

"What the-" she pins me to the wall, opens her mouth that stretched to about the size of my head, and it lets out a terrifying screech that left my ears ringing. I could feel some it's saliva splatter on my face, it's breath smelled like dead flesh and smoke, and it's tongue was quivering towards my cheek.

     The first thing I thought of doing was to bend my knees, drop to the floor, and crawl my way out of the stall. With all my strength I drop myself releasing its claws from my shoulders and I craw as fast as I could from under it to the farthest stall. I pull out my phone as I dial Riley's number, I hold my breath and push my body to the corner of the stool.

"Oh pretty little girl," the thing slowly walks towards the other stalls nearby, "come out, come out wherever you are" its voice made me shiver, I bite my lower lip to prevent myself from sobbing.

SLAM!

It opens one of the stalls near mine.

SLAM!
SLAM!
SLAM!

    I cover my mouth as I let out small cries in my palm. Don't see me. Don't see me. Don't see me. I think to myself.

SLAM!

    The door's stool I was in slammed open, I open my eyes to see this thing transformed into a disgusting scaly snakelike creature. Its legs were replaced with a huge snake tail and its yellow eyes scanned the stool with its tongue hissing at my direction. At that moment, the creature turns around slamming its huge tale of one of the stools and it disappears.

"Hello? Hello!" Riley's faint voice screams from my phone that was now on the floor.

    I slowly bend down and pick up the phone, my eyes never leaving the mirror in front of me in case that thing comes back.

    I slowly press the phone to my ear, "Riley" I choke on a sob.

"What the actual fuck Clair!" She shouts from the other end. A sigh of relief escapes my lips, but I could still feel that thing's presence around me.
Why didn't it attack me? It was literally a few feet away.

    Without wasting anymore time I sprint to the bathroom door, open it, and run. When all of a sudden I slam into a tall figure just when I was leaving the bathroom.
I grunt and rub my cheek, my eyes trailed up the tall figure who was standing in front of the girl's bathroom, and at that moment I freeze.

"You.." I whisper. Black hair, pale skin, dark piercing eyes. It was that guy in the Blake community.

    He looks down at me in a way that showed surprise and confusion.
A hand viciously grabs my shoulder and turns me around, I was face to face with a really pissed off Riley, her eyes looked so deadly they were ready to shoot laser beams at me at any second.

"We're leaving," she grabs my arm.

"But-" I look behind me to see if that guy was still there. He wasn't.

"Now!" Riley pulls me so hard my neck snaps from the forceful pull.

***

    The cold breeze rushes over us, I slightly duck my head between my bare shoulders and use both my hands to rub my upper arms.
We both scan for Riley's car, but oddly it was as if the ground had a mouth and swallowed it.
Riley continues to march around the lot searching for her car in an awkward silence. I try to keep up with her, but my body was going through a process of turning into a human-sickle.

    We've been searching for 10 minutes, yet we still didn't find the car, two drunk guys sway towards us with a bottle of Jack Daniels, "hey sweet cheeks, want some?" The guy holding the liqueur shoves the bottle to the Riley's face.

"Not interested," she replies calmly, I knew she was trying so hard to maintain what was left of her child, which was running out quicker than I thought.

"Oh C'mon, one sip won't hurt," he giggles, his bloodshot eyes slowly scanning our bodies.

    I hug myself tighter and shift behind Riley as we continue walking. I keep my distance, but my eyes were glued on both of them,

"I said I wasn't interested!" Riley's voice began to rise.

We turn a corner and the two drunk guys keep following us,

"Listen bitch!" The other drunk guy shoves Riley to the brick wall.

"Let her go, asshole!" I swing at his landing a punch on his shoulder that sent tingles up my arm, but the punch didn't seem to faze him as much as it did to me.

    Cold hands grab my hips firmly and the guy pins me to the wall next to Riley. I turn my head to the Riley's direction and see that she's really putting up a fight as the guy pinning her digs his face through her hair kissing her neck. The guy pinning me to the brick wall started to creepily inhale my scent as he brushed his nose across my neck and down my shoulder.

    I ball my hand into a fist and start punching him while my other free hand pushes his shoulder forcefully. He just laughs in my ear and starts to trace a line from my neck to my collarbone using his tongue.

"Help!" I scream so hard my voice starts to crack.

    I look at Riley's body that was completely lifeless in the guy's hands, he still had his face in her neck.

"Riley! Let us go!" I hit the guy who was leaving wet kisses up and down my neck so lustfully it made me sick.

    I stretch my left arm as far as I could towards the guy who was holding Riley and I begin to scratch his face. He quickly turns his head towards my direction and hisses in a non-human sound. His red eyes glowing in the dark parking lot, I squint my eyes to see blood trickle down his chin. Is that Riley's blood? It growls at me then goes back to sucking Riley's blood.

    Sharp teeth sink into the skin between my neck and shoulder, I scream and begin to kick and punch the thing that was sucking my blood erratically, though he didn't  even flinch. I feel pressure on the area his lips were, my breathing slows as I start to feel extremely light-headed. After a few more seconds of silence and the rapid blood suckling noises, black spots begin to form around my vision, as everything started to fade away into nothingness.
