Grace's voice crackled into kings her ear alexia. "Gina. I need for you to meet me ahryan astyn reality kings." She sounded tired. The poor kid was probably worn ahryan astyn reality kings out from the roll and ahryan astyn reality kings all alexia that peace, love, unity and respect.

"Where the fuck are you then?" Gina asked alexia, irritation levels on the rise. "I astyn'm not reality very thrilled about driving all over town looking for you. This wasn't alexia part of image the deal. And who's 'we'?"

"Sullivan's, huh? Gimme astyn ten minutes." Gina frowned as she put the phone down. She was pissed about having to turn around and head back the way alexia she'd come, but Grace sounded weird. Familiar weird. Her thoughts took an unpleasant turn alexiarealitykings, but she shook it off and decided she was being paranoid.

"Uh-huh," Grace alexia responded. She was still tingling alexia with alexia the effects of the latest substance Erik had given her. She alexiarealitykings felt lightheaded, dirty. She'd obviously slept in this chair alexia for several hours, and alexia a gamy alexia tang wafted up from image her raver regalia. They were in an empty room, and the large window in front of her was covered with a paper alexia blind: it let sunlight in, but afforded no view from outside. The walls and floor were covered in alexia plastic. She silently cursed the day Gina had made her watch The Silence of reality the Lambs.

"You okay?" Gina asked.

"That fucker." Gina alexiarealitykings strained at alexia their bonds. Then she stopped wiggling around. "Don't be sorry, there was nothing kings you could do. I've been in a jam like this before alexia. So chin up. Let kings's try to figure out how alexia we're getting out of here."

"Don't reality you have astyn like, a girlfriend?" Grace asked. "Is this the only alexia way you get reality any ahryan action?" she continued, with the astyn raw impoliteness only a teenager alexiarealitykings could muster. An unfamiliar wave of hot confusion rippled astyn through reality her alexia as the new substance alexia traversed her bloodstream.

"That's it. Just look at ahryan astyn reality kings the lights ahryan astyn reality kings," Erik prompted alexia. "I've got lots of stuff to keep you girls entertained. Enough drugs for every day in the week. I picked this one up kings in Haiti, and alexia I think you'll love it. Just look at the pretty lights."

The lights whizzed around her, so alexia she tried alexia to keep her eyes on her knees, which image peeked out from under her big nightshirt alexia. The drug alexia moved like hot molasses kings through her bloodstream, making Gina lose her tenuous grip on her fear, but she alexiarealitykings knew she wouldn't slip image completely out of control if she didn't look at the lights.

A hand cupped her chin and gently raised her head. Held alexiarealitykings it up. "That's better," Erik told her. "Look alexia at alexiarealitykings all the colors."

"What a pretty disco ball," Gina remarked. "Can you play "Dancing alexia Queen" too reality? Do alexia you alexiarealitykings have roller alexia skates for us?" She shook astyn out of Erik's grasp kings, bit down hard on his finger and returned to looking at her reality knees.

Erik continued his quietly insistent verbal assault on her sister's will. In her head, Gina alexia went through the vocals to some songs alexia in her band ahryan astyn reality kings's current alexia set list, eyes squeezed shut, trying to picture the crowd at her last show. Through the reality ropes, she continued to gauge Grace's condition. Not too good. She was astyn starting to kings squirm less image and less against alexia his steady rubbing alexia and pawing, starting to inch toward his hands before they landed alexia on her astyn. Periodically alexiarealitykings Grace kings would alexiarealitykings whisper insults alexiarealitykings at him, but Gina knew she'd only alexiarealitykings lose kings control of her emotions astyn if astyn she paid too much attention.

"Uh-huh," Grace answered, her head knocking against Gina alexia's.

There has alexia to be a way to fight alexiarealitykings this...

Now it was Erik's turn alexiarealitykings to straddle Gina, but kings he didn't sit down kings on her tiny lap; just stroked her blonde pixie hair and murmured to her alexia. Her eyes had closed again. He seemed to be trying to get her to stand up, but it looked like she astyn had passed out. He took reality Gina's limp alexia arms in each hand and gave an experimental ahryan tug. Nothing. Although the lights image paralyzed kings her, Grace wanted desperately alexia to check to see if her alexia sister was breathing. Erik pulled her arms again kings, lifting her head up off the back of reality the chair, then lowered her alexiarealitykings. No kings response. Frowning, he knelt down and whispered something alexiarealitykings in her alexia ear.

Gina heard groaning from upstairs. She alexiarealitykings jumped, completely hysterical now, and looked around alexiarealitykings the room. There was a chair in front of the desk. And alexia a window next to alexia the door. Brushing by Grace, she kings grabbed the chair and ran with all her alexiarealitykings might toward the window alexia. Threw the chair at the panes, through the paper alexiarealitykings blinds. The sound of shattering reality glass was the alexiarealitykings most beautiful alexia thing she'd ever heard.

Gina grabbed ahryan him tightly and pressed her face into his neck. Breathed for alexia a moment. Then looked up at him through alexiarealitykings her bangs. "Call the fucking cops."

The police alexiarealitykings were alexia surprisingly alexia fast. Mom showed up reality soon after, predictably hysterical. After awhile, Gina sent Grace home with Mom astyn, then talked to the cops a alexia bit longer. Before long everyone astyn was gone, and alexia she took a shower alexia and changed into some things she kept in Seth reality's astyn closet. Seth kings had pulled her into his lap and pressed a bourbon kings into her alexia shaking fingers. He alexiarealitykings held alexia her silently for awhile, and she didn't cry. Just clung to alexiarealitykings him and sipped slowly. Then she asked him to take alexia her to Sullivan's ahryan to get alexia her car. He alexiarealitykings'd protested alexia, saying he could take a friend and do it for alexiarealitykings her later, but she had insisted on it. The quicker she got her life alexia as alexiarealitykings close as kings possible ahryan astyn reality kings to the way it was kings before kings last alexiarealitykings night, the better.

"They want both of you downtown for an interview tomorrow."
