Within 90 minutes, the group finally had the black salt necklaces done and in possession for each person.
"This can give you just a chance, not a victory. Use it wisely, if the time is forcing you", Hubert explained while the they were slightly relieved.
"I hope we must not use it.", thanked Samantha while placing some on her handabag. "Once I feel the fear sensation you said, I'll be using it".
"I'll be kissing you, gramps, but my lips are only for one girl", Renata exclaimed, watching certain girl getting blushed.
"Renata, please! Is there something I can do to stop your flirt...teasing...this?!", the girl with glasses replied.
"Won't stop until you answer my romantic call", the bleached haired stated, with a flirtatious tone.
Samantha just gave each girl 4 jars. She then took 4 more
"I suppose Rob can use some...if this works, of course...", she said while seeing her friends with Rehagan included, and her grandpa. "I still doubt it has magic propierties, but I guess it's worth the shot..."
"Wanna go there and give it to him?", Leandra suggested. "I can take you there. Or you want him come here? I don't care either, just want to drink something tho..."
"Can we all go to this place that has arcade games?!", exclaimed Ayaka while waving her hand. "It has games, and hamburguers and a big screen..."
"And a cardboard crown? Girl, I want adult's drinks...booze, beers...any type of alcohol!", the punk haired artist yelled. "Samantha, Renata, somebody! Please, say something!"
"What can I say? I just drank a beer today...", Samantha said
"I drank a beer and poured another on Rob's couch...", stated Renata.
"I don't drink. I don't like it.", replied Rheagan.
"May I finish? The place has no cardboard crown...yet I want one now...the place is inspired on arcade stuff...but it's public is mostly adult gamers, not children. Even has weird shots with colors and things related to-", Ayaka continued until she got interupted by Leandra.
"You bought me with shots. I can go there...you really want a cardboard crown?"
All the girls headed then to the car. Just Samantha was taking her time to go there. She went to see her grandpa before leaving.
"Pretty sure I'm influenced but, thanks for all. And I hope not to feel that fear you said.", she expressed.
"Once the creature its satiated, the sensation must go...but I really hope I'm just influencing you", Hubert noted, while placing his hand on her shoulder. "Be careful, and don't drink too much."
She noded while passing close to Renata, who simply teased her once more.
"Bye, gramps, gonna take care of my future wife, AKA your granddaughter from here."
"For fuck sake! Renata!", Samantha scolded, with a red face.
In less than 20 minutes, the girls gave Rob some jars, yet he didn't want to join them. Not until Renata apologize. And 'til hell freezes wasn't a good answer for the tattoed girl. A few later, the place was there. With a 'grand opening' sign almost covering the name, Ayaka immediately pointed the place, and hurried all to enter.
Close to the sunset, Ayaka guided all to an specific are in the place, and sat there, hoping impatiently on the same spot.
"You've won the bet, Ayaka. Made all your friends to come here...drinks on me", the waitress said while sighing.
"Thank you, Val. They're Samantha, Leandra, Renata and...Rheagan, that I've just met, but I think she's pretty", the green haired on said while presenting each girl. Then she presented the waittress. "She's Val, and she works here despite the fact she's dressing without uniform. She and her family opened this place 3 weeks ago, and made a bet that she will meet you before finishing my prescription pills".
"And she won. Full name's Valentina Aguilar by the way. Nice lobe expansions, Samantha", she pointed.
"Wow...thanks. Yours are...wait a minute! Ayaka is on meds?", Samantha shout. Faced the pink sweater girl immediately. "Since when?"
"Like three days ago? Also, don't worry, the doctor told me I'll be getting the resilience they need so I'll be feeling all normally. I'm being kinda high these days. Must see me the first day. Barely able to move.", Ayaka explained.
"That explains your latest behavior, as well as...you might not be able to feel the stare sensation...", Sam suggested while playing with her hat.
"Stare? Like stalkers or something? I do have a lot of that...Or is something like supernatural?", Val asked, curious.
"It's not like that, but...yeah", Renata replied while looking the girl.
"I see. In that case, I'll tell you what: Since my brother's turn starts in 5 minutes, I can sign off and be here with you...weird...just felt something odd...nevermind. Be with you at 5. Stay pretty!", she said after trying not to flinch while moving.
"What a weirdo, but seems friendly. "Renata said while she left. "Anyways, saturday evening...a..."
"A what...? Renata...?", Samantha barely said while the feeling became highly intense.
She was feeling her heart pumping strong. Started to feel cold sweat on her head. She looked then her friends, and watched all having that sensation. Ayaka, on the other side, was nervous and trying to calm them down. Then a scream was heard from the kitchen, making the green haired girl to scream the waittress' name while looking for her. A few seconds passed, and all the girls we're getting as calm as they can. She reached for her phone, and tried to call her grandpa.
"There's no signal...", she gasped. "Why...?"
"Girl, lemme try", Renata tried to calm her while having the same luck with her phone. "Fuck...how's this...possible?"
Same fate was for Leandra and Rheagan. After bringing Val with her, Ayaka was concerned.
"I tried to call otousan but...can't. There's no signal...I'm just receiving some texts from you and other numbers...", the green haired lady stated while looking to Samantha.
Samantha took a deep breath before answering her.
"I'm not sending anything, Ayaka. I just...it is me...or this place was a bit more crowded...?"
