As Elias and Jaylen are approaching Jaylen's jeep,they start talking, " Don't worry I'll make sure you're brought home before your aunt notices or comes back ok" Jay's says to Elias
"I'm not worried about that ok it's just"...sighs "leave it" Elias replies
"If it's about the looks don't worry I got you,I won't let anyone make fun of my brother ok...OK" Jay speak with a reassuring expression.
"Ok" Elias replies
Elias and Jay arrive at the bonfire in the woods.The bonfire raged like a beast of it's own,shadows dancing wildly against the trees. Laughter echoed,sharp and mean- spirited in some corners, friendly in other.
Elias stuck close to Jay feeling like a ghost in a world that already moved on without him.
People dancing, laughing and drinking, having the best time of their lives. And then came Zach captain of the basketball team,Tall, athletic,a walking stereotype of every doachebag in every movie ever made.His arm lazily draped around Ava Sinclair, the girl both Elias and Jay couldn't help noticing. I mean who wouldn't she was sharp eyed and stunning, carrying herself with an intelligence that made her stand out "Look at that Elias that right there is the future mother of my children"
"Maybe if the holy trinity allowed that it might happen but somehow I feel like if it did happen it would shatter the multiverse" Elias jokingly replies
Jay replies back" what are you trying to say me and her together would what break the world like how Miguel did in across the spider verse"
"No of course not " Elias says with a mocking expression.
As the two were talking Zach notices Elias and Elias notices Zach, the two lock eyes before Elias pulls his hoodie to hide his face in hope that Zach won't notice but what he didn't realise was that it was already too late. Zach approaches them and his voice cuts through the air like a blade "Didn't realize Make-A-wish was granting party invites."
The silence was brutal. Elias froze.
Jay,though? Jay didn't freeze. He was burned.
"Hey Zach", Jay shot back,voice laced with venomous amusement." How's that IQ? still scraping double digits or did your brain finally give up on trying?"
Ava couldn't help but let out a small chuckle
Jay notices this and smiles{YES,YES,YES,YES,YES FUCK YEAH she smiled} Jay thought while maintaining a good posture
A tense beat. Zach's jaw clenched as if debating whether Elias condition was worth breaking his golden boy reputation.
Ava stepped in before things could explode."Zach, seriously? If you start something with a cancer patient, your reputation's done."
The humiliation crawled over Elias's skin like fire ants.
He turns away,breath shallow, pushing past the crowd and disappearing into the woods.Jay tried to follow, but Elias raised a hand,Not now.
"Come on dude look I'm sorry ok but look let's go back to the party ok, there's still Hella things to do" Jay says
" Right like what huh what" Elias replies with anger in his voice."Look I just need a walk don't follow me" Elias says.
"What hell nah I'm with you till the end ,your aunt killing me is the last thing I need rn" Jay replies
Elias stands still, turns his back and looks and jay" Look I just wanna take a walk alone and I'll be back, not even going too far"
Jay contemplates but agrees" don't go far and if anything happens scream or call me ok"
"Ok" Elias replies
As Elias walks through the woods exploring every tree he could find although the cold air of the forest was a relief he couldn't help but notice the more he walked the less the noice got and that's when he realised it was time to get back
"Shit I gotta go back this how them horror characters die" Elias thought
SNAP
A shadow moved in the dark large,hulking, something wrong with it's shape.Elias couldn't run.His body froze,not from fear but from something older,primal,clawing at the edge of his instincts.
A growl rumbled through the air.Red eyes flickered between the trees.
This isn't real, Elias told himself.Just go back. It's your imagination right, right
But imagination didn't have claws.
And just like that before he could do anything the beast lunged impossibly fast, powerful jaws tearing through flesh.The pain was brief but searing,like fire lancing through his veins.Then before he knew it darkness swallowed him whole.
But even though Elias knew this was the end he didn't want it to be this way he wanted to die by his loved ones presence and to top it of to die a virgin was a pain Elias wanted to relieve at least although deep inside he knew it was impossible.
Elias screemed but sadly no one heard and "even if someone did who would dare fight a beast"Elias thought.As he tries fighting back with all his might it was not enough to even tickle the beast in the end the beast overpowered him and before he knew he had passed out in the hands of the beast.
