Triplets (girlxgirl)

21- Revelation

I was sleeping peacefully beside Jimmy when I felt her bolt out of bed. I sat up in alarm as I looked franticly at my friend. She was staring at the door when I heard the commotion down stairs. I stood up before following Jimhaya out of her room and through the corridor. We had barely made it down the stairs when some strong arms grabbed me from behind and dragged me into the living room. I struggled from its hold but the arms only tighten around me.

 From the corner of my eye, I saw Jimhaya fighting against three men who were holding her captive. One of them had a syringe and stuck the needle into her neck and she fell limp into their arms. I screamed her name before they dragged me to where the others were and put me in a chair. They tied me up in chains and put a collar around my neck. I couldn’t feel my magic anymore. It had been subdued by the object. They put Jimhaya in another chair beside me and tied her up. She did not look good: her head was hanging from her shoulders and her eyes were glazed.

I looked around and saw everyone else tied up in their own chairs, including Ren. He and Raymond had bruises on their faces from trying to protect themselves. If Jessica and Jasmine fought it didn’t show. They must have healed too fast to be any markings.

There were about a dozen men dressed in black army suits standing around the room with weapons in their hands. It was like déjà vu from back when my family was still alive.

I tried to escape the chains when I heard man’s voice from the doorway. “It’s no use to struggle child, you can’t escape the chains”

“What have you done with Jimhaya?” I asked angrily.

“I sedated her with wolfs bane, vervain, quercus and hemlock. A fascinating mix of poison don’t you think?” He said “While, her body is trying to fight the first three deadly toxins, the hemlock causes paralysis so she won’t be a bother to anyone this way” the man spoke again.

M and Mrs. Hundale gasped as they saw an Asian man walking into the light. He had a lean body, with black hair nicely gelled to the side. He was wearing a suit and tie and his black shiny shoes did not make a single noise as he made his way to us.

“John” Raymond spat in anger.

“Raymond, how nice to see you again.” He said “And Kelly, as much as I would have loved if my brother had killed you, it is always a pleasure to see you. But if he had, then I would never have met your beautiful children” He grinned with fangs popping out of his gums. He was a vampire.

“Jessica” he turned to her “You are more beautiful than I remember but it might be just me. After all, I only saw you when you were addicted to my product”

“You’re John Chen, the drug dealer.” Ren said in wonder.

  “The one and only boy”

Shocked, I looked at Jessica “You took drugs?” I couldn’t believe my ears. This was what Jimmy said when she told her sister she could destroy her with the past. ‘I can ruin your perfect image to your petty boy with one sentence’ she had said the day of the tryouts.

“I was young and stupid. I had anger issues that I couldn’t control, so I went into drugs” Jess tried to reason with sadness in her voice.

“Ah, but not just any drug right Jessica?” the vampire smiled “Normal drugs didn’t work on you so you had black magic and supernatural blood mixed together. My most expensive and best product I have ever created”

John came closer to us until he was hovering over Jessica. “I would have let you go if you had not tried to scam me at my own game little girl. Don’t worry though; I’m not here for you”
