It was about 10 PM, and my friend Jack turned 21, so we decided to go to a bar a few miles out of town. This girl walked up to us and was flirting for free drinks. Jack didn't know this and just said that he was almost out of money. I knew that she was flirting. The girl introduced herself as Candace. During her introduction, some eerie background music played in the bar. I clenched my muscles since it started to get to me. Jack didn't care and dismissed it. Candace did the same, and since she was getting bored, she ordered a few shots for us. Jack immediately took them, and I chuckled. It was now 10:58, as I read on the clock behind me. Since Jack was most likely drunk, I tugged his shirt and said we should leave. Candace chuckled and agreed. I set down my drink, and we headed out.
I asked Jack if he was feeling well since this was the first time he drank. He was very much out of it, so he could barely speak. I chuckled and Candace said that we should get in her car. I asked her why, since I thought I was sober enough to drive. She ignored the question like I never answered it. Jack said he wasn't feeling well at all and I told him to get a taxi to his house. Jack said he was okay with it and he did. Candace offered to take me to her house and since she didn't drink much, and while driving she said if I wanted to grab a little more liquor at the drug shop. I didn't want to, but I didn't want to be lame in front of her. So I said yes, and she came back with much more. I didn't want to be lame in front of her so I drank a little however I did find a small empty bottle that I could spit out the liquor behind the liquor bottle in the bag. I threw out the bottle full of liquor and pretended that I was drunk.
We arrived at her house, and I pretended to trip as if I could barely walk. When we arrived at the house, something felt...off, like something was lurking. She locked the door, but I didn't think too much of it. I walked into the bathroom to sober up and make myself vomit and drink some tap water. I flushed the toilet and went back into her main room. There, she was standing in this dark room. I noticed it, and I could only see her backside. I said I needed to go to the bathroom again and she turned just saying that she wanted me to hurry up. She turned, and it was a different face. Inside I freaked out, but I tried pretending that I didn't notice it. I locked the door and tried thinking, what the girl was saying to...someone? I was honestly confused. I heard a door open and a male-like voice saying, "the boy...is flaking". I knew something was up, and I needed to get out of there. I saw a bathroom window and tried to open it up and escape. Since the window was loud, Candace or the other lady heard me and tried busting the door. I ran as fast as I could to the nearest shop. It wasn't too far, but I could hear a car behind me. I luckily got away from her and called a taxi to get out of there. Something just felt strange. Strange. That's the keyword here. I texted Jack that we weren't going to that bar every again. I logged off of social media for a month. I tried thinking about what happened that night. Why did she try getting me to drink so much? Why was there another lady with a wig? And what was in that dark room behind her?
