Chapter 4 - K

I woke up with the worst hangover I have ever felt. I groaned and sat up, rubbing the side of my head. I had passed out in Karley's dorm; after we left the bedroom before Julien started fucking Emma, I had drunk a full cup of vodka, and passed out on the couch. I wasn't the only one though, several other people had passed out in the kitchen, and obviously there was Julien and Emma in one of the bedrooms.

I got up slowly and stumbled to the bathroom to wash my face. I was glad today was Saturday, I don't have any classes. I rinsed my face in the sink, groaning. I don't usually throw up when I'm hungover, but I just feel like absolute shit. I got myself feeling a little fresher before going back out to the living area. I looked at the time and noticed that it was close to nine AM, then remembered that Julien and I had an assessment due in an hour that neither of us had done.

I walked over to the door to the bedroom and opened it, walking inside. Julien was sleeping on his side on top of the sheets while Emma was under them mostly. The sheets were very clearly messed up still, so Emma had clearly gotten under the sheets during the night. Julien was fully naked still, so I walked over to him and slapped his ass.

"Wake up, we have that assessment due in an hour," I said. Julien grunted when I slapped his ass, waking up and glaring at me. I smirked at him as I grabbed his clothes from by the wall where they had been left.

"Nice ass," I added. He rolled onto his back and smirked back at me. I tossed his clothes at him.

"You have like, thirty minutes to finish the assessment," I said, then left the room.

I somehow finished the assessment in time, and slept off my hungover, which took most of the day. Since I had slept through lunch, I went out for a large lunch-dinner at around four PM.

After that, which was around seven once I had showered, I decided to go see if Julien had finished the assessment. And also to see if he remembered me inviting him to fuck tonight. I listened at the door for a second, before I walked in to make sure he was in there. I opened the unlocked door when I heard movement in there.

When I walked in I went to announce myself, but the lights were all off in the room so I didn't say anything. I got confused, shutting the door behind me and walking further into the dorm. "Julien?..."

He wasn't in the main room in front of the door, but the room looked kind of disheveled, though I'm not sure what it usually looks like because I've never been in here. I heard something fall in the bedroom and walked over there. "Julien?" I said again, and got no reaction again.

I opened the bedroom door and walked in, then stopped dead in my tracks at the doorway.

Julien was crouched on the floor, wearing only sweatpants and his back facing the door. I could see that he was crouched over someone, because I could see their legs between his on the floor. But the way their feet were positioned made it look like their body was limp. And Julien was holding a bloody knife in his right hand.

He turned his head and looked over his shoulder at me when I opened the door, his eyes widening. I was frozen in place, I couldn't even think to try to comprehend what I had just walked in on. He stared at me that way for a second before his expression hardened and his eyes seemed to start bleeding out from his irises, turning his scleras black and his irises red.

The changing of his eyes happened in a second, and in the next he had gotten up and slammed the door shut behind me, closing me in the room with him and the body. I stumbled and fell back when he had done that, landing on the floor and suddenly fear filling my body. I shook a bit, staring up at him. His eyes were fully black and red, and his expression was hard. I was too scared to register how hot he looked without a shirt on.

"God damnit," he growled a bit. "I really started to like you, it's a shame that I have to kill you now."

I shook more, and may have pissed myself. He sighed a little bit, running his hand through his hair. I realized that he had left the knife on the floor, and I grabbed it, holding it out facing Julien, but my arms were shaking. Julien just looked at the knife, then back at my face. Suddenly his entire body started to morph.

His eyes somehow got larger and more circular, and scars appeared on his body as his skin went super pale. But what terrified me more was the huge horns that grew from the sides of his head, thick and curling like a ram's. His ears elongated as well to stick out through the rings of the horns, and black lines grew out under his eyes, curling at his cheekbones and branching off. He shifted and put his arms behind his back, then a long tail whipped out around his legs. It looked like a whip, but with a huge scorpion barb on the tip. I could actually see poison sloshing around in the bulb.

Julien started walking towards me, and I started shaking again. I held the knife up again, trying to keep my hands steadier, but it wasn't working. The tail flicked around his leg, then came up and poised with the tip of the barb facing me. I finally got my senses back and lunged up at him, swinging the knife at him. He obviously didn't expect that, and the knife cut across his chest.

He made a snarling sound and stumbled back from me, the tail lashing. Blood poured out of the cut I had made in his chest, but as I watched it healed mostly. 'Is there nothing I can do to save myself?' I thought desperately. Then I saw the wall; the barb of the tail had scraped the wall when I had lashed out at Julien, and the poison that had leaked out had melted part of the wall. 'I'm fucked.'

Julien lunged at me quickly this time, shoving me down and using the side of the bulb on the tail to slap the knife out of my hand. He used his body to pin me to the floor, holding my wrists down. I made an embarrassing whine sound when he did that, wiggling and trying to get out of his grasp.

He looked genuinely sorry, then suddenly he hit my head with one of his horns and everything went dark.
