Forced into the Game

ch.5 Drunkenness... Wonderful

~Delilah~

I looked up at the door, and sighed. A few pieces of paper were now under the door. Astral growled, and let go of me. He then opened the door and left.

“Well, that moment was ruined,” I muttered to no one in particular. I could hear Astral yelling, and James scolding. That caused me to laugh before i went to pick up the papers. On them were Taylor’s plans to kill the man.

“Poison?!” I laughed,” Oh, that’ll work brilliantly! Get up close and you’re dead! Astral, get everyone in here, would you?”

~Taylor~

“Get inside. Now.”

“Well, we could also load up a tranq gun with the stuff, then we can stay way far away, completely undetected.” James suggested. I leaned into him.

“I love it when you get all smart and stuff.” I looked deeply into his eyes, seeing the love reflecting back at me.

“Hey! Lovebirds! We could cover the tip of one of my arrows with the stuff. Then we don’t have to have any other new guns and such.” Delilah suggested.

“I like it.” Astral said. I glared at him.

“Fine.” I huffed, walking out of the room. “Way to ruin the moment!”

~Delilah~

“You are so very welcome!” I called, a hint of a laugh to my voice. James was still sitting in the room with Astral and I. He just looked at us wide eyed. I smirked.

“I’ll go find her!” I volunteered.

~Astral~

I sighed as she walked out of the room. She had such a beautiful laugh.

“Why are you smiling?” James questioned, a hint of teasing in his voice.

“Oh, no reason,” I muttered, caught.

“You like her so much more than you let on.”

I could feel my face flushing, so I muttered, ”Ya, says who?!”

“Says me!” he challenged.

He came up and poked my face. “Your face says so too!”

“Ok, you win.”

“Like always.”

I sighed before looking away, thinking of the moment I almost kissed her. A small scowl appeared on my face as the girls came back in. They both had flushed faces, as if someone had said something embarrassing.

~Taylor~

“Hi boys!” I said, then giggled. Shoot, it sounded like I was drunk. I then collapsed onto the couch, tuckered out from shifting so much.

“What on earth? Are you girls drunk or something?” James jumped up and shouted.

“No silly! Why would we be -hic- drunk? We’ve been gone for -hic- five minutes!” I was angry. My boss had injected me with truth serum to build up my ‘resistance’ or something like that.

“Yeah! C’mon guys!” James imitated us.

“Shut up! Okay? Your boss or whatever came and he injected her with truth serum. She’s not drunk, but she is on drugs.” Delilah said, annoyed, then burst out laughing.

~Delilah~

I felt way giddy. My whole body was buzzing with energy, and I wanted to go run a mile, or something to that effect. Taylor looked at me, than said,”You look like your a humming bird!”

I burst out laughing, and doubled over. Then I brought rotflmao to a whole new level. I was litteraly rolling on the floor laughing. “She looks truly drunk!” Astral shouted floating over to me. He frowned at me, causing me to laugh even harder.

“Are you okay?!”

“She’ll be fine, later, her boss actually gave her a drink.”

“What?! She’s drunk?! But she’s under age!”

“So?” I asked sitting up. “I feel better than I have in ages! Except when we were about to kiss!” I turned furiously at Taylor. “That’s your fault!”

I launched myself at her, tackling her to the floor. She tried to push me off, but failed. “James, Astral! Help me!”

    I felt Astral’s arms go around my waist and I went limp, passing out.

~Astral~

    She went limp in my arms, and small breathing sounds excaped her mouth. I had never seen her like this before. It horrified me. It made me wonder: “Are all humans like this when they are drunk?”

    “No, everybody’s different when they’re drunk,” James answered.

    “Oh, okay.” I looked at Delilah’s sleeping form. She looked so peaceful when she slept. Her eyes were closed lightly, and her lips were slightly parted. Her breath reeked of alchohol. I had never seen an actual drunk person before. I’d only read about them. I sighed as I set her down on the bed on the far side of the room.

    I turned around to face the two figures behind me. “So, Taylor, how exactly did she end up like this?”
