Chapter 18~ Forbidden Fruit

"I can't believe you're attending a party."

Emily said while leaning in the doorframe, eating an apple. I raised my eyebrows at her while I choose a dress from the closet.

"Hey, don't be surprised, I attended a party last summer."

Emily chuckled, "Ara, it wasn't a teenage party. It's a birthday party for kids."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, yeah whatever."

I'm really not into parties. It used to make me cringe every time I hear a party. I never really attended one and and it's a shock to me that I agreed. I've never been to a party with Adam. We just used to spend our time in his house.

Emily went to the kitchen leaving me to choose what to wear. I confess it makes me happy that I'm actually enjoying life. Voices in my head stopped but there's still a part of me that I misses them.

I smiled when I grab a black sleeveless mini dress. It's a gift from Emily a year ago, but I never wear it because it's too short for my liking. I quickly wore it and zipped it up. It landed above my knees just right in my thighs.

I brushed my blonde hair that flows down my waist and put a light make up on my face and borrowed a blood red lipstick from Emily. I also borrowed her black stilletos making me taller.

I know this transformation wasn't me but I like how it changes me. Emily was surprised to see my look and I'm glad she liked it. She also warned me not to drink a lot because I'm still a minor and something that a mother would say. I just roll my eyes and nodded.

Emily dropped me off at Chloe's "mansion" where a lot of teenagers are partying. Some are diving into the pool, throwing red cups at each other and of course making out. It made me cringe.

"Thanks, Emily. I'll be home before 12." I said and kissed her cheek saying goodbye to her.

"Okay, take care." I went out and she drove off.

When I entered the mansion, loud and deafening music welcomed me. Tiptoeing to see familiar faces, I immediately find Ava and Adam. But there are too many people, they are even dancing and the music is too loud. Red cups are scattered everywhere and many are grinding their hips with each others.

I realized I forgot my phone. I guess I have to look around.

Still looking around and bumping into some drunk students, my eyes widen in shock because there in the sofa, are two familiar people sitting while staring at me creepily.

Malum and Lilith.

I thought they were dead. They are grinning at me and I swear I saw a glint of red in their eyes and they have sharp teeth. But when I rubbed my eyes their looks became normal again.

Who are they really? What are they?

My breath became rugged and I changed my direction. Looking away from them, I walked away hoping that they wouldn't follow me. That's when I gasp when I bumped hard enough with someone's hard chest. I almost fell but he caught me in his arms and I quickly clung my arms in his neck for support.

"Shit..." I cursed and looked up at him. I sucked into my breath again and my heart beats so fast knowing it was Chase.

"You okay?" He asked, helping me to stand properly because of the heels I'm wearing.

I cleared my throat pulling down my short dress. I suddenly became shy of what I'm wearing. He probably thinks that I'm a slut.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks, Chase." I said in awkwardness. He smiles at me revealing his cute dimples.
