The cool night air rustled through the debris filled hedges as I passed by on my way home from yet another late shift at the bar. I hate the late shift, but if I wanted to keep this job I had to pick up a few of them now and then.
The journey from the bar to my flat share isn't awfully long, maybe a 10 minute walk.
I get a hustle on as the wind starts to pick up. Specs of rain start to scatter my bare shoulders. Silly me, of course I'd forgotten to take a jacket on my way to work, because in typical British weather fashion, earlier the sun was out and shining. Now the rain is beginning to fall. Picking up my pace I soon arrive at my flat.
It's nothing special, just a ground floor 2 bedroom flat with a small garden in the rear, something to get me out of my mums house and into my own little space. My friend from collage and I decided to rent together in an attempt to help with living costs.
I place my key in the door and turn. Surprisingly the lock opens on the first click. Normally Sasha would be asleep by this time, so the door should be double locked.
Cautiously I step into the flat closing the door ever so quietly behind me. I can hear whispers in the living room. Has someone broken in? Is Sasha hurt?
Slowly I creep further into the building, I can see dimmed lights in the living room and the lights flickering from the commotion on the TV. She's probably just fallen asleep in front of the TV.
"Sasha I'm home, are you awake? The door wasn't locked"
A loud thud makes me jump as I step into the living room. Two naked bodies scramble off of each other into a standing position. My jaw drops!
"Wait! Penny I can explain!"
"Are you, fucking kidding me!" I bark viciously.
Stood in front of me. Completely stark naked. My roommate, my friend of 3 years, and my boyfriend Stephen.
Soon to be ex-boyfriend!
"You piece of shit assholes!" I scream as I march toward them.
Sasha quickly steps back, hastily grabbing the throw from the sofa to cover herself.
"Penny, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened," she stutters, visibly nervous at my presence.
I see red! Literally. My vision glows blood red as I zone in on them both, like a marksman closing in on its target. I can feel my blood boiling under my skin, almost as though a fire was burning beneath it. But that doesn't stop me.
Fist clenched I step into my swing, not breaking stride my hand connects with Sasha's face sending her straight to the floor. Blood instantly pours from her nose as her eyes well up.
"And you!"
My attention turns quickly to Stephen, who at this point is stood, frozen on the spot.
"Did you think you'd get away with it? Did you think I wouldn't find out?" I spit through gritted teeth.
I can feel the anger inside of me building as my rage increases. Never have I felt so betrayed. 2 years of my life I'd spent with Stephen, for him to sleep with one of my closest friends.
"Penny please calm down," he begs, "Let's talk about this"
"Talk. You want to talk. About how you've come into my home," I step closer to him, my cheeks flushed, my heartbeat clapping in my chest, my eyes burning. "Slept with my friend, on our sofa, in our living room. How fucking dare you!"
At this point I'm in a blind rage. I don't blink or take my eyes off of Stephen, I can feel them burning as I stare up at him.
"I didn't mean for it to happen, it just, kinda did, and well after last time.." he paused, he knew he'd fucked up.
"Last time!" I screamed.
Without realising my hand swung up already clenched, connecting with his jaw. The anger took over. I have no control.
Stephen reached up and cupped his jaw, clearly shocked that I'd hit him, but aware he deserved it. I didn't give him the chance to speak again.
I reached out grabbing his cock and balls tightly in my hand. He doubled over in pain as I forcefully pulled him by his genitals passed Sasha and toward the front door. He yelped in pain, hobbling with my pull. Upon reaching the front door I swung it open with one hand, pulling Stephen outside with the other.
"Don't you ever come near me ever again!" I screamed tossing him into the street.
Stephen flopped to the floor cupping his shrivelled manhood embarrassingly.
"Penny plea" I didn't let him finish.
"I said ever!" I growled through gritted teeth.
His face dropped. He looked scared, like he'd seen something. I turn my back, slamming the door closed behind me, leaving Stephen naked and cold on the street outside. By this point Sasha had retreated to her room, for her own good if you ask me, I am raging.
With my heart pounding in my chest I retreat to my own room.
My ears are ringing, my heart is racing, my skins on fire. Trying to catch my breath and calm down I lean over my dresser. Deep breath, in and out, in and out. Its not working!
Suddenly an intense lightening like pain engulfs my head. Its like my brains on fire, I scream reaching my hands up to cover my head hoping to release the pressure, but instead of a screaming it comes out more like a roar.
Shocked by the own noise my body just made I lift my head up swiftly, catching a slight glimpse of myself in the mirror above the dresser.
My eyes usually a sky blue changed quickly to a golden brown, as veins streamed down my eyes like snakes on the run. I widen my eyes in an attempt to focus, that's not right! In the same moment they're quickly blue again.
My jaw cracks from one side to the other. Unexplainable pain soaks my gums, as my mouth opens unintentionally fang like teeth materialise in my mouth.
I feel weird. A loud hum fills my head as the intense burning engulfs my body, then everything goes black!
