The Games of Alastor

Chapter Twentyone

As much as I wanted to start hurting him I went to my room and grabbed a box under my bed. Inside held Datura seeds and leaves. If anyone doesn't know what Datura is, it's the most fucked up drug in the world.

There's a ton of stories about people taking the drug and the side effects are wild. The most popular one is about the dude who has sex with a ghost or the Reddit user "FlipFlop" that just disappeared.

The most common effects of Datura is hallucinations, sweating, trouble breathing, and can even cause death, and other messed up shit.

We both know that I'm going to make Adron take some. I've never tried the drug nor do I want to. I had nine seeds and seven leaves.

I've had these forever and I honestly can't remember where I got them. Most people smoke the leaves or make tea out of two seeds at a time. I was just going to have Adron straight up eat the leaves. I couldn't give him too much or he'd die.

I decided on the leaves. At least four should give him hell. I walked back to where Adron was.

He chuckled. "Come on, big boy. If anything she killed herself."

I took a deep breath. As much as I didn't want to believe Saskia was really dead, I had to accept fate. And Adron had to accept where he is now.

Instead of answering him I lifted the leaves to show him. "What the hell is that?!?" he asked, sounding a little concerned.

"A little something called Datura," I responded. His eyes went full of panic.

"Heard of it?" I asked, in a taunting manner.  He slowly nodded.

"Great, great. Now eat it." I said a little louder. "What-" he trembled. "What? You don't wanna take a little trip?" I asked in a sarcastic manner tilting my head slightly to the side.

"Fuck no!" he exclaimed. "Too bad," I shrugged.

He looked me in the eye as if to challenge me but I could see right through him the fear he had. I'm guessing he's had some experience with it before.

"Take it," I said sternly, lifting the leaves up a little more. He shook his head.

"You either take the drug, or I'll Jesus-style nail you to the wall." I said louder, taking another step. He looked like he thought about it but knew he didn't have a choice.

"Fine," he sighed. "Good idea," I handed him three leaves. I had his hands in a hard to explain position but if he tried hard enough he'd be able to put them in his mouth.

He hesitated but chewed the flower. He uncomfortably swallowed all three of the leaves.

"See, not so bad," I said. He didn't say anything and just glared at me. Datura takes 30-60 minutes to take effect. I grinned slightly and said, "Welp, I'll leave you to it. Don't be banging any entities." And just left the room. I knew how mad Adron was at me for making him take a drug. But also I know it was nothing compared to the anger towards him.

The amount of Datura I gave to him won't kill him. It'll just give him a shity ride and he won't be able to fully cover from it. Ever.
