The Irangel | Prequel Story |

Chapter 34 ~ Obsession and Decision

Camdren was chatty during the car ride back to the glass building. They were in the Hyundai Genesis, the car that stayed near the glass building, while the Bugatti stayed at Tori's mansion. It was a sunny day, the air fresh and flowery. It smelled delightful, like a floral arrangement. Tori caught notes of peony and wisteria in the air, and Camdren could smell sunflowers from afar.

Camdren convinced Tori to stop at a store to pick up party items. At first Tori raised an eyebrow in question, repeating, "Party items?" Then Camdren went on about celebrating the revival of the raccoon. Tori relented, thinking, Why not celebrate? This is a major science breakthrough.

German electropop music played in the car as Camdren rambled on about the stuff they bought and how he wanted to set everything up. Tori patiently listened to him, thinking it was definitely not a quiet car ride with Camdren around.

When they returned to the glass building, Camdren exclaimed, "It's party time, yo!" He turned on a music boombox Tori had purchased for him and began jamming dance music, acting as DJ for the irangels. He tossed a few shopping bags at Keith and Eamon, proceeding to open a bag himself. Tori watched the irangels curiously as they began decorating the glass building with lights, streamers, banners, and sparkles.

Elisa tossed glitter confetti everywhere while Eamon set up a device that rained glitter. Camdren handed out snacks and chocolate while Justin distributed drinks. They played German electropop music, a song called "Ich hol dich hier raus" by Glasperlenspiel, as they partied and had fun for the second time in captivity.

Cole and Justin were caught up in the excitement, Eamon's happy cheerful mood reaching out to everyone. Even Tori succumbed to the wonderful feeling after Eamon approached her, saying, "C'mon, let's dance!"

Justin smiled as Tori let down her hair, literally, by taking it out of her ponytail holder and shaking it free. She danced along with everyone else, accepting dances from Justin, Eamon, and Camdren. Velo breakdanced on the smooth glittery glass-like floor, stunning everyone with his slick moves. Elisa was not a good dancer, but she and Camdren had fun regardless. Keith sang along with the music, Elisa and Camdren enthusiastically singing with him.

Tori closed her eyes as she leaned against Justin, his arms around her as they soaked in the amazing evening. Eamon caught them heading to Tori's bedroom not long after. He grinned, knowing exactly what was to transpire behind those walls.

Erotic sex continued for a while until Justin got off of Tori, his bare chest sparkling while gleaming with sweat. He kissed her diamond body, his own diamond body making their sparkles twice as sparkly. Tori kissed him eagerly, enjoying the way he made love.

It would be the last night the irangels got to truly enjoy themselves, the last night Tori would let any of the irangels have any real joy in their imprisoned lives.

Not long after their fun night transpired, Tori lay awake in bed, the wonderful feeling drifting into pleasant dreams as she slept. Weeks passed with extremely happy irangels and zero secret irangelexperimentation, Tori taking a break from it while allowing the irangels to flyoutside within range of the glass building. Though Tori was caught up in thegood feeling, she found the darkness reaching out to her again. Visions ofa better future for mankind fueled the small hope within as she watched theirangels interact with one another. She missed Nate and wanted so much for himto be here with her. The others noticed she started going in the lab room moreoften and that she always had a thoughtful look on her face.

Tori stared at the vial that held Nate's DNA, contemplating what she wanted to accomplish and willing herself to do so. Her heels spun out of the lab room, taking her towards the irangels. Tori's secret irangel experimentation resumed, forever changing the irangels' lives and even their personalities, driving out the good in them and darkening them to a lack of compassion, building a hate for humans who were lucky they weren't going through what the irangels were going through. Tori continued to torture the irangels, ending their brief time of contentment. Instead of being chained up against the wall, they were either confined to the bed room or led to her unsavory doings.
