They were drinking. I smelled alcohol on their breath, but they didn't look twenty one. They looked nineteen. They were stalking two fifteen year old girls, in a carnival, at nineteen. They shoved the glasses to us. The drinks weren't alcoholic, but I didn't trust these two at all. We just sat there, staring straight ahead.
"You know, it's rude to decline an invitation, ladies. We bought these for you out of our own kindness, so the polite thing to do would be to drink it." Red polo commented.
We didn't answer, we didn't even look at them.
"It doesn't have alcohol. Just give it a try. It's apple juice."
Sure it is. With something extra? We didn't move a muscle.
Red got angry. Slamming his fist on the table, he yelled, "Drink it, God dammit!"
We flinched, but didn't move.
Irritated, they took their drinks and got up. My muscles relaxed. They were gone. We didn't acknowledge them, and now they were gone! Harmony let out a breath of relief. Suddenly, I saw a hand move onto Harmony's nose and plug it, and another one go to me. I saw the drinks get held up to our mouths. They were going to make us drink them once we needed air! I knew there was something in those drinks! I saw Harmony gasped for air, and then Blue shove the drink down her throat, laughing. I elbowed Red as hard as I could. He crumpled a little, but when I tried to get away, he grabbed me and held me down. I kicked at him and screamed.
"Hey, help me!" Red.
Blue came over and held my feet. Red stepped on my arms and covered my mouth with his hand. "Shhhh. Listen, you two are pretty, and you're gonna be treated right."
I wanted to barf. The alcohol smell was burning my nostrils, it was so strong. He moved his hand away, and poured the drink....
"Get off of her!" I heard Corey yell, then I saw Red suddenly jerk to one side, Corey taking his place. I was drugged a little bit, so it felt like a dream. I looked over at Harmony. They had forced every last ounce down her throat. She was hallucinating, and didn't remember anything. Feldman took on Blue. He was doing good, and then Blue got him in the stomach. He took a little time to recover, but ended up punching Blue in the temple, knocking him unconscious. I looked over at Harmony again. She was passed out, the drugs taking full effect. I saw Corey punching Red. Red blocked one of his punches, and hit him in the eye.
"No!" I screamed as Corey staggered back, and saw Red wind up for another punch. My yelling got his attention.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not done with you yet!" He went over to me and picked me up. I slapped him. "You bitch! Oh ho ho ho! You're gonna pay for that! Why don't we just get started right here?" He practically tore my top, taking it off.
"No! Get away from me!" I tried to run away, but the drug was taking effect, slowly me down and making me tired.
Red grabbed onto me. "Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon...."
"You bitch!" Corey rammed into Red, knocking me over, but out of Red's grip. Corey punched and punched and punched Red, until Red finally gave up and slipped into unconsciousness. Corey ran to me.
"Ana! Ana, are you okay?" I was ready to fall asleep.
"I... I don't have a shirt... anymore."
"Here." Corey took off his jacket hastily and put it in me. "We're getting out of here." He picked me up and carried me to the bike. I looked over at Feldman, who had Harmony in his arms.
That's the last thing I remember.
