Under The Bed (Horror/Thriller)

Chocolate Cake

We got to Jayla's house and I helped her put all of her new buys away in her tidy bedroom. It was about 4:30pm when we finally finished; she had bought more things than me. We went down the sprilaling staircase and sat on the sofa, looking down. The atmosphere was very tense because we didn't know if we would survive the night.

I tried to lighten the mood a bit. "Hey, Jayla. Why don't we bake something?" I asked. I remembered that, when I was little, my mum and I used to bake all of the time. Now that I think about it, we mostly made brownies and chocolate cake.

"Hmm, okay" she replied. "What do you want to bake?" she asked, looking up at me.
"What about a chocolate cake?" I suggested.
"Okay then." she said, smiling at the change of atmosphere.

We walked over to her big kitchen and got the ingredients out to make the cake. We put all of the ingredients in the bowl and mixed them up with her electric whisk. After adding a few more things in, we got a cake tin out of one of her cupboards and slowly poured the chocolate mixture into it.
We put it into the oven and set the timer for an hour. Jayla and I high-fived each other and sat down, giggling.

Beep beep! Beep beep! The timer went off. We rushed into the kitchen and I took the cake carefully out of the oven whilst Jayla swiftly turned timer off and helped me with the large cake. She poked it with a metal skewer and it came out clean, which meant it was ready.

"Yay!" I said excitedly, looking at the perfect cake we had made together. The mouthwatering scent of chocolate cake filled the room
"Hehe, it looks great!" said Jayla.
We took the cake quickly out of the tin and left it to cool for a few minutes. After a while, we cut the cake in half and filled it with raspberry jam. Straight after we put it together again, we decorated the cool cake with icing, sweets, and of course, sprinkles!

We stepped back to admire the beautiful cake. "Wow!" I said, amazed.
"Amazing!" Jayla said with a huge grin on her face.
"Shall we eat a bit?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure." she replied, taking a knife out of the draw and cutting two slices of cake out. She gave me a slice and we took them both into the dining room. Sitting down at the table, we took a knife and a fork out each and took a bite... It was so nice! "This is the best cake ever!" I stated.
"I know, right?" Jayla said, taking another big bite.

We finished up and washed the dishes. After drying them, we went back into the front room and lay down on the sofa. I heard Jayla snoring after about ten minutes, and before I knew it, my eyelids drooped and everything went black...
