Teenagers

Chapter 31

Scarlet's P.O.V.

Cleaning, making drugs and getting high has become a daily routine for all of us.

Until the point that we got used to all the drugs and we didn't go high anymore. And honestly, I was getting tired of working for Jabez. But I had to. If not we'd all die.

About a month later...

"Today you won't be following your routine," Angela declared.

Those words took us by surprise.

"What are we doing then?" Aloysius asked.

"You are going back to your school for the day because your parents will be visiting. And the spells I've casted on your teachers and principal are very strong so don't screw any of it," Angela replied us.

"What if we screw it?" Francis asked.

"Well... that remains to be said, right? I can give you a hint though, death," David came in smelling like alcohol and smoke from the cigarette.

"Now now, death is only the easy part," Jabez smirked.

Thea, Lynn, Aloysius, Francis, Oscar at me exchanged glances.

"There are clothes for you back on your sleeping bags. Get ready and I'll escort you there," Angela pointed to the door.

"Mum! Dad!" I rushed over to them giving them a big hug.

"Oh my darling I heard you've been doing very well at school!" My mum said.

Wow.

"Yes mum!" I beamed at her.

"Okay well we are going to meet your teachers. You go along and hang out with your friends," my dad looked at me proudly.

I went over to the rest who were enjoying cheesecake and coffee. We haven't had it in like... a month?

I sipped my coffee and tasted the rich coffee bean flavour on my tongue. I took a bite of the cheesecake and let the cake melt in my mouth.

I have never felt so good to be out. But it's only for today.

An hour later, my parents came to me and said they wanted to talk to me.

I got worried as I left the rest and went with my parents.

"So um..." I said awkwardly.

"We.. are very.. disappointed in you. Why have you been skipping classes? And why is your results still so good? Care to explain?" My dad glared at me.

"Look......" I started, "you may not believe me. But this is the truth and I am gonna start explaining."

They nodded.

"Some drug gang captured me and my friends, they gave us dark magic and made us be their servants. We have been making drugs for them everyday," I said in one breath.

After a few awkward moments, my parents brought me to an even more private place.

"How did they find you?" My mum asked.

"Its because of An-."

"Angela." My dad interrupted me.

"How....?" I was shocked.

"We'll come to help you. Just obey them first," my mum said.

"but how..."

"No. We have to go. We'll help you okay? Tell your friends and make sure you all keep this a secret," my dad kissed my forehead.

"Bye..."

They disappeared into thin air, with white light shining after they disappeared.

I turned around to go back when I saw...
