Torturous [Fillie]

Gas

"So you spread a rumor about me doing cocaine because I wouldn't do all of those sinful things with you!?" Millie screams, anger burning deep within her at the outrageous story that completely ruined her. Gaten rolls his eyes, guilt still nowhere to be found in him. "Well maybe next time take my offer and we wouldn't be in this position." He says. Sadie felt that something about the druggie's story didn't sound right. What was it? Her. Caleb. Noah. It didn't explain why they were there. That had nothing to do with the coke rumors. "Wait so we're all here because you didn't let Finn keep his coke? That makes no sense."

"No, he's here because he created rumors about Millie." The red head tells the creepy young boy sitting to the right of Caleb. Millie scrunched up her eyebrows as she turns to look at the mean girl sitting beside her. "What? Why would Finn kidnap him for rumors about me?" She questioned, feeling a little nervous for talking to the girl. The red head looked at the teary eyes brunette before quickly looking away and trying to explain everything to everyone in the room. "Finn said that Gaten created a snowstorm during freshman year, meaning that he started rumors about Millie that turned everything into a total shit storm for her. Millie couldn't even leave her house without having her backpack checked by authorities and taking drug tests."

Everyone had understood Sadie's theory, but still didn't understand why they were there. They aren't the ones who started the rumor. "So we all have been kidnapped because I started a rumor that caused Millie to be monitored and watched for over a month?" Gaten had asked, confusion laced in his voice. Millie kept tugging on her wrists, thinking that would weaken them and set her free. It's all she has been doing for the past hour now. "You're not gonna break out of those things. We're all strapped in tight with no way out, now stop doing that." Caleb spoke up suddenly.

The big door creaked open and everyone turned their head towards the loud noise. Gaten would be lying if he said he wasn't panicking. He was up first, of course he would be scared. Finn came in with someone right behind him. A boy that no one had ever seen before. He was tall and skinny, kind of like Finn, and he had really short light brown hair. "Great, another scary ass lookin' white boy." Caleb stated. The other boy was wearing blue surgical gloves and dragged some metal gas tank behind him with a breathing mask attached to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my dear friend Jaeden, the one that I was talking about earlier. He's helped me with so much in my life, I like to think of him as a brother sometimes." The curly haired boy announced. Gaten was trying to seem chill and unbothered with this whole situation. In his head, he was screaming for help and plotting an escape. Finn turns to look at his first victim with a smirk. "Ah, mister Matarazzo," He starts, the boy in the chair wishing he could punch him in the face for calling him that. He hates when people call him that, it was weird to him.

"I assume that you're a man who knows a lot about illegal substances due to your history of distribution and abuse, yes?" "I never abused drugs." He stated as Finn paces towards him and around him with his hands behind his back like some villain. "The legal definition of drug abuse in the United States is 'the use of psychoactive substance for other than which impairs the physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being of the user'...so you are, indeed, a drug abuser." Gaten just exhales deeply through his nose as he rubs his nail over the wood of the chair he was strapped to. "Well we have a more legal substance and we think that you are the perfect candidate to try it out."

The skinny boy named Jaeden steps forward and that's when he puts the mask over Gaten's face. "No. Stop! What's going on!?" "Don't worry, it won't kill...I don't think." Finn stated as Jaeden made sure the mask was on right. Gaten was screaming as the other teens around him were shaking and quaking with fear. They all question everything about what's going on. Are they next? What's going on? Why are they here. Jaeden turns the valve on the gas tank and the clear breathing mask on covering the victims mouth and nose began to fog up. Gaten was screaming as the gas was burning his skin. The more he screamed, the more he would inhale, causing the gas to attack his respiratory system. Finn's plan was working.

"It burns! It burns! Help!" Gaten screams as he thrashes in his chair. Everyone in the room was struggling to tune out his screams and look away from the horror show that was taking place. Finn bends down with a look of anger and intimidation as he spoke to the screaming boy. "You should have never hurt a girl like that, all because you wanted sex and friends. Didn't your parents ever teach you how to make friends?" Gaten kept screaming his head off and eventually the skin around his mouth started to turn red and looked chapped. The inside of his mouth looked kind of red as well. He was dissolving. "No, I guess they didn't. But they did teach you how to make money, how to run a business, and how to turn your son into a puppet that makes money for them so they would never have to work ever again." Finn finished before standing up straight and facing Jaeden. "Give him more."

The boy nods before turning the valve a little more. The gas was now overwhelming Gaten. He couldn't breathe without inhaling it. It made his lungs feel like they were on fire, as well as his throat. "Have fun huffing acid. We'll be back soon to check up on you and see how everything turns out." The two boys make their way towards the exit. When Finn passed Millie, he glanced at her which was unknown to everyone else in the room as they were shutting their eyes and trying to hold in their tears.

Finn and Jaeden were now in the kitchen and away from the screaming down in the basement. The boy with dark hair rests his face in the palms of his hands. "I'm conducting a murder." He sighed out as the other teenage boy was sitting beside him with a hand on his back. "Technically you didn't conduct Gaten's murder. The acid in the gas tank was my idea, remember?" Finn removed his hands from his face and sat up straight, leaving Jaeden to remove his hand from his back. "Remember what you told me when we started this project? 'This isn't murder, this is justice. We aren't killing, we are simply punishing people for their horrible crimes towards that girl. We are torturing them.'" Jaeden quotes to try and make his friend feel better. It works as Finn nods and stood up from his stool at the counter. "Alright, well then let's go prepare a slideshow."

-----------------------

I finally updated. I actually have a reason for why I haven't updated this book in a while so just read the paragraph below.

So I actually have a couple of reasons but the main one was that I was stuck on writing this chapter. I had an idea of what I wanted to write but I didn't know how to finish this chapter and for some reason I couldn't put what I was seeing in my head into words it was just so difficult so that's why I kept putting this off and avoiding this book. Another reason why I haven't updated in weeks (probably even months) was because I was so focused on finishing other books. I'm not sure if you all have heard or not but my two books Princess Millie and Gangster are ending pretty soon and I've just been trying to finish it up and pre write the last few chapters so I wouldn't have to worry about them and so I could just get them out of the way and only go look at them when it was time to update.
tl;dr I had writers block and I was working on other books.

I'm gonna try to update again next week since I plan on finishing some books this weekend. Then I'll publish more books and I think you all will really like them.💉
