A Wrong Turn

Elina was more than happy. Dressed in a black leather mini skirt reaching mid-thigh high with a matching strapless crop shirt. The black ankle boots went with the outfit. The small crop shirt showed off her toned belly, her blonde hair falling to her waist in waves.

“Woah!” various screams erupted in the room even though the music was loud. Elina shyly made her way inside the club. The club in particular had an attached hotel. Hazel told her it had rooms where most lovers took shelter whenever they drank more than they should have. She had no idea that Andy was throwing her birthday bash in such a place.

“What's up baby girl… looking hot” one of the guys passed commented when she walked right past them.

“Hey, Elina… how about a dance” one of them blocked her way. With ease, Elina brushed her hair off her face and looked at the boy busy trying to flirt with her.

“Melvin… are you seriously trying,” she said, arching her brows at him. The music was too loud and the many boys dancing with girls half naked surprised her. Such as high school. The boys and girls went crazy at such parties.

“Come on sweetie… loosen up a little… how about… you know… we…” Melvin said, biting his lower lip seductively. Melvin was friends with Andy. He was a jerk and a flirt. He thought every girl would blush at his cheesy words and end up in his bed.

“I'm not interested… Where's Andy?” she asked instead and shifted her gaze around. Because of the flashing lights. She didn't see Andy or Hazel anywhere.

“That's enough Melvin… buzz off” came Hazel, and she joined them. “She said no… go and make use of your dick somewhere else” Hazel spat out bitterly and Melvin's expression morphed into a deadly one

“I wasn't talking to you bitch” Melvin spat out and walked away. Turning to Hazel, she had to say Hazel rocked her outfit…she was wearing a black spaghetti-strapped short dress with knee-high boots. Her gorgeous hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her makeup was on point.

“Hey, girl… I'm so happy you came” They both squealed and hugged as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

“Wow, future wife… you look beautiful” Hazel squealed and dragged Elina to the bar counter. The birthday boy was yet to show up. Elina was feeling goosebumps all over

“So the text… are you certain?” Hazel whispered, leaning close to her. They both sat down at the bar counter and the man serving drinks gave them two glasses of soda. 

“Yeah… I think it will solve my problem” Elina whispered back and took a sip of the cola given to her. At least it soothed her dry throat. The thought of doing something she hadn't done before gave her chills, and so was the look Hazel was giving her

“What… but are you ready… Do you know about this… oh my gosh Elina… this is incredible” Hazel whispered cheerfully. She couldn't believe it. Finally, her shy friend was ready to give her little V-card to a man and become a woman.

“Shh… this is serious… Now I don't know how to go about this,” Elina remarked and slammed the glass on the counter. She already made up her mind. Unfortunately, who was going to be the target?

“Listen here sweetie…just have a strong drink or two…” Hazel said mischievously. This was what she had been waiting for. The girl before her was stuck in ancient times waiting to get married and then give her virginity to her husband.

“But… Who will…”

“Hey ladies” before Elina could say anything. Someone joined them and it was Andy. Tucking her hair behind her ears. Elina smiled as she lowered her gaze from Andy. He was wearing black ripped jeans. A black shirt inside and a black leather jacket with black boots. He glowed under those flashing lights.

“Hey, birthday boy… nice party” Hazel spoke at the top of her voice, lifting her glass of soda and waving it in the air. Andy smiled and turned to Elina

“I'm so happy you came, Elina… truly, “Andy said softly…he was a little shy, and Hazel noticed. The man only blushed when Elina was around

“Happy birthday Andy,” Elina said, handing him a small box wrapped in red ribbons. Andy looked shocked as he extended his hands with lightning speed.

"A present… thanks, Lina… you look gorgeous, “Andy remarked hesitantly. He didn't know what to do but Elina nodded, feeling her cheeks turning red. This feeling didn't leave her alone…what a shame

“Okay… so… I'll walk around… Do you have cake? I mean some strong liquor… tonight, I'm feeling crazy,” Hazel said, stretching herself and getting off the stool. Andy chuckled lightly and shoved the box in his pockets.

“Well… help yourself out… the bar has a lot to offer, “Andy said, showing her around hazel squealed and grabbed Elina by the shoulders

“He's the target… order something strong” Hazel whispered with a smile and moved back…by now Elina was feeling like she was under a burning furnace. She didn't know what to do when Hazel just said something silly in front of Andy. What if he heard her?

“So… umm…” Elina started, not sure what to do. Maybe Hazel was right. She liked Andy, and he seemed to like her too. What if she let him have her

“Come with me… it's a bit noisy in here” Andy said and took her by the arm. Elina grabbed her purse and carefully got off the stool

It turned out Andy had taken her outside the club. The noise from the music and people shouting faded away as they used the back door. Elina exhaled the beautiful night breeze caressing her exposed shoulders

“Lina… I'm glad you are here… you don't know what this means to me” Andy started as they walked around. The north part was all trees. The forest was dark and tranquil. Elina nodded as she held her purse with both hands. It was quiet outside. The sky was dark blue with stars twinkling beautifully. The moon was full and shining

“Andy… it's your birthday. I wouldn't…” Elina was about to say when suddenly she was interrupted by screams

“What?” Andy muttered when they heard the voice of two boys screaming… the voices were coming from the forest

“Stay here… let me check it out,” Andy said in alertness.

“I'll go with you,” Elina said, feeling agitated. What if something happened to him

“No… I'll be back… it must be the guys pulling stupid stunts with girls” Andy said, and he was already walking towards the forest. She nodded and stood there waiting for him. He knew his friends liked fucking girls. They must have dragged the girls to the woods to have sex.

Elina didn't like how the breeze was changing. Hugging herself, Elina scanned the area and it was dark. She would wait for Andy if not. She would charge in. Occupied with thoughts. Elina accidentally glanced back to the back door and spotted something.

“Who's there?” she asked, turning around. Narrowing her eyes, she spotted a dark shadow of a man. He was limping

“Ahh!” a loud growl came from the same shadow, startling Elina as she slowly took small steps towards the door.

Her heart was racing as more groans came from there. Suddenly there was a throwing of heavy things.

Elina's knees were already weakened with each step she took. Her heart was telling her to go, but her brain was screaming RUN

“W-who's there… what's…” She didn't even finish her sentence when there was a strong wind. She spotted a dark figure stumbling around. He entered the building from the back.

"Who is it?" out of curiosity,  Elina followed the man. What made her even more curious was the blood trails she found. Hence she hurried after the man, he was hurt.

"Wait, where did he go?" She stopped when she reached the hotel rooms and the man was not there. "Ahh, what are you doing Elina…leave," she scolded herself and prepared to leave when she heard something break.

"Who's there?" She followed the sound and found the room open. Hesitantly. She walked in. It was dark. "Is anyone here?" She asked only to see a man gasping for air. Elina rushed to see what was wrong with him, but she got the shock of her life.
