Yay, Chapter 4 is here! Some people had problems getting onto chapter 3, is that problem resolved now? Thanks for reading and reviewing guys!
Alec was the first to awaken, of the four. He was lying on the marble floor, his face in a puddle of his own drool. He just lay there, lying around, trying to figure out what had happened the night before, before he stood up slowly. The chicken clucking in front of him didn't even surprise him, to be honest.
Standing upright, he turned round and round, unbalanced, and looked around the room. What he was seeing, he couldn't even put into words. The room was a tip. Alec lay down on the little grey couch, closed his eyes, and let the pain of the hangover take over him.
Eric had crashed at the bar, and he awoke just as Alec sat down. He stood up, but lost his balance and fell backwards onto a champagne bucket, toppling onto the marble floor.
Alec opened his eyes immediately, and sat up and watched Eric sit back up, and walk away from the bar.
Eric walked down the corridor, tripping over the chicken, where Jace had obviously crashed. He was lying, face down on the marble, lying on a bed sheet, while wearing jeans, but no top. Eric noticed fancy black tattoos on his back, and made a mental note to ask Jace where he got them done, because he totally wanted some!
He staggered in to the bathroom, which was untouched, compared to the rest of the villa, and used the lavvy. A rumbling roar came from the right, but at first he ignored it. Once comprehending that something was growling, he turned round, to see a tiger in the middle of the bathroom. Eric didn't react as any normal human being would; instead he rotated round, still peeing, but on the floor instead of in the bowl.
The tiger let out another threatening growl, staring Eric directly in the eye. Again, Eric didn't seem affected at all, and turned back round, peeing in the bowl. The tiger snarled again, and for some reason, this made Eric realise he was in deep shit. He pressed his back against the wall and screamed like a sissy, and ran out the room, tripping over Jace as he ran.
"Control yourself, man," Jace said, sitting up and putting his hands over his eyes. "Hey dude, put on some pants!"
"Do not go in the bathroom!" Eric screamed.
"Woah, calm down."
"Jace," Eric yelled even louder. "There is a tiger, in the bathroom!"
"What's going on?" Alec looked disorientated.
"There's a jungle cat in the bathroom!"
"I'll check, I'll check," Jace said, standing up, trying to calm Eric down.
"Be careful!"
Jace opened the door with no hesitancy whatsoever, but when he took a look at what was inside the bathroom, he couldn't close the door fast enough. "Holy fuck, he's not kidding! There's a tiger in there," he laughed.
Alec, who was still not very aware of where he was said, "No…there isn't," weakly.
"It's gigantic!" Eric yelled, laughing insanely.
"You okay, buddy?" Jace sat down with Alec.
"No," he replied steadying his hands on his knees. "I am in so much pain right now."
"God, damn!" Jace exclaimed, putting his blue shirt back on. "Look at this place." He sat down, not quite believing what he was seeing.
"I know," Alec said. "Jace, they have my credit card down. Seriously, I am so screwed."
"How does a tiger get in the bathroom?" Eric was pacing up and down the corridor in excitement. "I mean, it nearly killed me!"
"Hey, bro, do you want to put on some pants? It feels a little weird having to ask twice."
"Pants at a time like this?" He said, looking frantically around him. "I don't even have any pants," he said, coincidently pulling on a pair of pants.
"What the fuck happened last night?" Jace asked Alec.
"Hey, Jace, am I missing a tooth?" Alec asked, baring his teeth at Jace.
"Holy shit!" Jace laughed, making Alec crap himself.
Alec picked up a silver platter, and looked in the mirror to see that in fact, one of his right incisors were gone. "For the love of the Angel! My lateral incisor, it's gone!"
"Okay, okay, we just need to calm down," said Jace, grinning like a maniac. "Everything is fine. Eric, go wake up Simon. Let's just go get some coffee, and get the fuck out of here before housekeeping shows."
"What am I going to tell Maia?" Alec panicked. "I have lost a tooth and have no idea how it happened."
"Quit it, you're freaking me out." Said Jace, taking a sip of a stale beer. "I've got a massive headache, just calm down."
"How am I meant to calm down?" Alec was on the verge of crying. "Look around you!"
"Hey guys," Eric came in the living space. "He's not in there."
"Did you check all the rooms?" Jace asked, looking around.
"Yeah, I looked everywhere. Plus, his mattress is gone."
"He probably went to the pool to get something to eat," Jace pulled his phone out his pocket. "I'll call him."
"I look like a nerdy hillbilly!" Alec said faintly, looking in the reflective platter.
Once the number was dialled, the sound of Simon's ring tone came from the bar. Eric picked up the phone and answered.
"Hello?" He said.
"Eric," Jace looked at him, but he was looking out the window, as people do when they are on the phone.
"Hey,"
"It's Jace,"
"Oh hey Jace," he said, hanging up. "This is Simon's phone."
"No shit?"
Out of nowhere, a baby's cry sang out for it's mother.
"What the fuck is that?" Alec looked at Jace with his serious face on.
Eric opened a cupboard door, to find a baby lying in blue sheets.
"Who's fucking baby is that?" Jace said in despair.
"Eric, are you sure you didn't see anyone else in the suite?" Alec looked from the baby to Eric.
"Yeah, I checked all the rooms! No one's here! Check it's collar or something!"
Alec hushed the baby with his best efforts as he kneeled down to inspect him. "Who's a cute baby?"
"Alec, we don't have time for this!" Jace looked away from the cupboard. "Let's just go hook up with Simon, we'll deal with the baby later."
"Jace, we're not going to leave a baby in the room! There's a fucking tiger in the bathroom!"
"It's not our baby," Jace shrugged.
"Yeah, I'm with Alec on this one." Eric said.
"Alright, fine. We'll take the baby with us. Can you at least just find some pants?"
Does this make any of your theories of the future characters any different now? Let me know!
