How the fuck did I geti n this position. One minute !"m talking to my friend and the next I'm dangling 10 meters off the ground by a fucking dragon, being held by my calve it's claws had dug in just deep enough to make me bleed. At this point I should be screaming from the pain or even just the sight of the ivory teeth glistenina with saliva however with my adrenaline kicking into overdrive all I could do was stare at my impending doom. All I could think before I was dropped into its mouth is ""Well... Damn I was so close..."
Maybe I should give a little context to why I might be in the precarious position, Its all started two days ago with her..
"earth to Alex, hey man, wake up" Jack was shouting over the music and waving his hands in front of my face. As his hand past my vision I lost sight of the lady I had been watching long enough to lose her in mv sight. "Jesus. man! Stop, what are you even doing?" I say while swinging my hands out to get Jack to stop. "I have been talking to you for like five minutes now, while you stare off into space' Jack said with a knowing smile as he spoke. "Jack, why did you even bring me here you know I hate crowds and 1 would rather be at the apartment either immersed in a book or catching up on work?" "man, its your birthday, and look where we are vou"' I iinterrupted That'swhat I mean this is not my thing, its yours" Jack looked dumbfounded like I was speaking in a foreign language. I think I'll just get a taxi and go back to the apartment I said sounding Tired.
Typical Jack, he's always trying to get me out of my comfort zone, and
I get it this place has Jack's name all over it, loud and flashy. Just looking at
us you would never even think we were friends, hell the only reason he even
associates with me these days are because he knows me better than any one
since we grew up together. Jack was wearing one of his custom fit white suits
exposing just a little chest hair under his unbuttoned black undershirt, his
short black hair slicked back. On the other hand 1 was wearing my trusty
hoody with blue jeans and my brown hair was wavu and always in my face.
Jack grinned at me which made it apparent I wasn't going anywhere yet.
"you need to grow a pair and stop being a Pussy and go find one of the
plethora of hot girls in here to hook up, all they want is to step out of their
nine to five job grind and get fucked, so ngo... et some? Jack looked over at
a table of women that looked like a bacherlote party, winked at one of the
girls and smiled "tell you what Ljust found my fun for tonight if you strike
out come join me I am sure we can get you straight, and remember the drinks
are on me tonight just give the bartender my name and she will put it on my
tab"' and just like that he was already sauntering over to the table with the
overly happy females and they looked hungry. I shook my head and shivered
at the prospect of sloppy seconds.
Fuck it I thought I will get one drink and then I will sneak out it's not
like he will even notice once he starts making his moves. I walk to the bar
and waited for the bartender to come by, there was no where to sit so I just
leaned over the counter and stared at all the bottles of liquor. "what can I get
you?" the pretty bartender said she looked a little meek but I knew better she
had a glint in her eyes that said there is more under the surface.
"you serve anything to make all this go away and stop my friend from
being an ass?" I laughed. She smiled but clearly not amused at all "depends
who's your friend?" She asked while making a drink for the server that had
just walked up, I looked back at Jack and of coarse he had made it to the table
and was not sitting in the middle acting as host to the ladies. "See that
playboy over there I say thumbing over my sholder where Jack was. She
glances up in the direction I just pointed out and there is a noticable shift in
her eyes almost like fear but looking back she looks the same as before
maybe a trick of the light I thought but she seemed a little more interested in
me and less blasé "Jack?" She say's curiously "yeah, so I take it you know
him?" I say genuinely curious now. She fidgets for a second then she smiles
"not really he is just a regular so I guess your on his tab huh?" she says while
making a drink and placing it in front of me. "tell me how you like it, this one
is special iust for friends of iack" I look at the violet drink and notice it
almost seems to glow. "um, what is this?" I ask lifting the glass to get a better
look at it and can see a little cloud of silver running through the heavy violet
liquid. She snorts the first honest thing that I think I have heard from her so
farand I notice her name tag says Sil"its not poison, you'l like it and its
quite expensive so don't waist it She laughs as she walks away. I mean what
the hell I guess you only live once right?
Immediately after placing the now empty glass down I notice a change in the
world like an illusion hiding the truth behind the veil and I felt more free than
I had ever been. Like an invisible wall that had held me back since birth was
lifted and everything seems natural and I could do anything. As I am staring
at my hands my vision notices the lady from earlier however this time she is
looking right at me and I am caught with my eyes locked on hers and she is
smiling as if knowing something and she ignores the people around her who
are trying to get her attention and starts walking straight towards me. "Holy
shit she is hot, what..., why is the walking this way?" I look around and
notice for once the club has gone silent and I stand alone. Her eyes bore into
me as if she is going to swallow me. She is wearing a tight green dress with a
slit that goes to her waist, her dark red hair in braids and tied back with some
kind of ortmental comb or pin, and her skin was tan and smooth and with the
flickering lights dancing off her she looked liked she was glowing. Oh my
god she is totally coming over here what the hell do I do now. I start to panic.
Play it col A lex pretend you don't even notice her as I turn away to look at
the bar again.
