“If you feel much regret then call him and tell you will attend. Else we will do our routine works.” 

Kathleen bit her lower lip and thought for a while. From the day he said he won’t disturb her anymore, he didn’t even attempt to talk to her. He just asked to attend a single party. Thinking everything, Kathleen decided to attend the party. But before that, she asked Nina “Nina! What’s your opinion on attending the party?” 

Nina thought for a moment and replied “I think attending a single party won’t change anything.” 

After an hour of discussion, they decided to go to the party. Nina called Jack and informed they would attend. Jack thanked them and cut the call. 

Jack smiled in an evil way looking at Aaron. Aaron said “Finally! You are going to get her.” 

“Waiting for her.” 

"What if she again decide to not come?" 

"Then I'll plan some other thing."

The next day at evening everyone attended the party at Jack's guest house. Though he was talking to them, his mind kept thinking about Kathleen and the things he's going to do to her tonight. 

After few minutes, Kathleen and Nina reached the guest house. It looked so colourful with lights, decoration and all of her classmates were enjoying. Kathleen and Nina entered in with a small gift box. Jack smiled looking at them. They gave him the gift and wished him. 

Soon the party started and everyone was enjoying while dancing, playing and kissing their companions. Nina and Kathleen went to top floor where their classmates were talking. Looking around, Nina and Kathleen sat on the sofa. 

“This building is so big and beautiful, Kat.” Nina said while looking at the ceiling. 

“Yes it is. When will we build a house like this?”

“If you are planning to build a house like this, I request you to not build it in the woods, nearby a forest, far away from all the neighbourhood like this house. Forgot how much we struggled to reach here?” Nina said rolling her eyes. 

Their conversation was interrupted when Jack went there.

“Thanks for coming.” 

They both just smiled looking at him. 

“Drinks?” he asked. 

“No. We won’t drink.” Nina replied. 

“Cool! At least enjoy with soft drinks. I’ll send them for you.” He said and strolled away. He poured the juice in two glasses and mixed a good dose of sleeping pills in the juice. He told the server to give the glasses to Nina and Kathleen. 

“I feel like Jack is changed.” Kathleen said looking at Nina.

“I feel the same.” 

They again continued talking. The server came to them and gave two glasses of orange juices. They took them and started drinking. 

Jack took a mic and announced “Thank you everyone for attending the party. There is a music system arranged at the backyard. I request you to come there and enjoy.” 

Listening to him, everyone shouted excitedly and started walking to the backyard. 

“Come on! Let’s go.” Nina said and caught Kathleen’s hand. Suddenly Kathleen’s vision blurred and she put her hand on her head. Within few minutes, she shut her eyes and fell asleep. Nina too felt the same and she fell asleep. 

Everyone in the party went backyard and started dancing except Nina and Kathleen. They were on sofa sleeping. Within few minutes, Jack and Aaron entered the house again. Jack threw Kathleen on his shoulder and took her to a room where as Aaron took Nina to another room. They both threw them on beds and came out locking the doors. 

“After everyone left, no one can stop us.” Jack said looking at Aaron. Aaron smiled and again they went to backyard. 

********* 

The next morning Kathleen woke up when the rays of sun that penetrated the window fell on her face. She stretched her arms and yawned. She suddenly sat on the bed and started thinking about last night. She looked around and to her surprise she was on her bed, in her bedroom. She saw Nina sleeping beside her. She patted Nina and made her wake from the sleep. 

Rubbing her knuckles onto her eyes, Nina said “Good morning.” 

“Nina! We are in our house. What happened last night?” 

Listening to her, Nina sat on the bed. She too felt surprised. Above all, they both were scared. 

“W-What happened last night?” Nina asked. 

“I don’t know. The last thing I remembered was Jack announcing everyone to go to backyard.” 

“Kat! That’s the last thing I too remembered.” 

Their hearts pounded and sweat trickled down their brows. Their legs started trembling in fear. Kathleen thought for a moment and held Nina’s hand. 

“Nina! I think nothing happened. We might have drank unknowingly, after that we came here.” 

“Assumptions are very easy Kat.” 

Kathleen gulped listening to her. She walked out to see Nina's car. After seeing her car, Kathleen felt her assumption was true. She entered in and saw Nina sat on the sofa in living room. She told Nina “Your car is here. Nothing happened. We might have drank and came or someone dropped us. But I’m sure nothing happened to us.” 

Nina looked at Kathleen in utter shock and fear. Shivering, Nina told “Jack and Aaron are dead.” 

Kathleen widened her eyes and looked at TV. The news was about Jack and Aaron’s death. 

Kathleen ran her fingers through her hair and muttered “What the hell!”
