Chapter 4

Thoughts of Cameron and curses consume my mind as Jane and I make our way back to the hot tub and climb in. I swear I can feel someone watching me, but can pinpoint where it’s coming from. The feeling is unsettling, but Cameron’s words are even more so. All that talk about curses and things getting worse before they get better. What did he mean by it? Was he just straight up crazy? Or does he know something about me that I don’t?

Or am I just going crazy?

Ten minutes later, Kara and Steph finally join us. They have shots in their hands and while I’m not a huge drinker, I decide that tonight I might need a shot or two or three…

Somewhere, I lose track of how many shots I throw back. My voice starts to sound so far away, like a faint echo, and my stomach begins to twist with nausea.

“I think I’m going to be sick,” I mumble, stumbling out of the hot tub.

Knowing I won’t make it to the bathroom, I stumble farther into the backyard and yack my guts up in the bushes. Mid vomit, I hear the town clock chime midnight.

Happy birthday to me, I mentally groan.

A hand suddenly touches my back. Figuring it’s one of my friends, I relax into their comforting touch.

“I’m so sorry,” I apologize to them through a groan. “I completely ruined the night.”

Instead of getting a reassuring answer, a low chuckle echoes through the darkness.

I tense, suddenly feeling very sober. “Who’s there?” I start to turn around when I hand clamps down on my mouth.

I throw my weight forward, but an arm snakes around my waist and drags me out the back gate. I bite and kick and scream, but it’s no use. Whoever the person is, is freakishly strong.

“Don’t worry,” the voice purrs as we descend farther and farther away from the party. “Soon, this will be over. But before it gets better, things will get worse. But that’s just how curses work.”

His words are so similar to what Cameron said to me earlier. Is that who has me? The voice doesn’t match, but maybe he’s disguising it.

I want to ask him who he is, what curse he’s talking about, and what will be over soon, but a wave of pain crashes over me.

I scream out as darkness sucks me under.
