Matthew

"I hit." Khan smiled, "That's good, my boy." Matthew laughed as he drank a sip of some alcohol, "I have a story to tell to the group." Khan laughed, "They probably won't believe you."

They sat down on some chairs in the kitchen and looked over the field, a white van and a couple of trees. Khan looked over the field and sipped some alcohol.

"It's like 11 pm, luckily my parents are going for the weekend so we can party all night." The khan smiled as he spoke drunk, "Remember what I told you, don't get too drunk. I don't want you getting jumped or attacked."

Matthew nodded drunk but at this time people had gathered in the living room and were snotting white powder. Matthew walked over a bit tipsy, and looked at the table, "Matthew, snort it, man."

Matthew sat down rolled up a sheet of paper and started gunning it up his nose, Matthew wooed as it went right into his system. He stood up high and tipsy when Itzel stopped him.

"Matthew, hold on, you are taking everything in too fast." Matthew scoffed as he tried to walk past her but Itzel stopped him. "Matthew, sit down for a bit, take it slow, you don't want to die from an overdose man."

Matthew shot back, "I am too strong to die." She looked annoyed as she grabbed him, revealing her massive muscles which shocked Matthew and forced him onto a chair, "Take it slow." Matthew sat there brooding as she spoke to her friend. She kept holding his hand so Matthew didn't run off to kill himself.

After an hour, Matthew slobbered up more to the point where he could think logically, "I think you were right. Any more and I would have killed myself." She smiled at this, "Good." Matthew then spoke, "Why and how are your muscles so big?"

She thought about it before she spoke, "In year 10, I started working out a lot like I would look twice my size if I flexed all my muscles. Then I just kept going, that's how I was able to force you into the seat without trying."

Matthew thought about, it a lot more, "Do you do any sports?" Itzel thought, "Back when I was 13, I did a bunch of martial arts: Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, Judo, Karate but as a sport now, I do American Football. With all the muscle, I thought might as well do a sport where I would be underestimated."

Matthew was amazed and somewhat impressed, "That's a lot, I do basketball now." Itzel had a sadistic smile as spoke to Matthew, "I could dunk on you." Matthew was intimidated but she laughed before saying it was just a joke.

The time rolled to 1 a.m. and the party was ending, Matthew left late, way later than Itzel. He looked over at the field and the white van wasn't there anymore, 'odd' he thought as he made a trek to the bus stop.

He started to walk when a white van pulled up behind him and as soon as the window rolled down, Matthew broke into a dash. The van followed, and 3 girls in latex and bunny masks jumped out in front of him. He got ready to fight but he was beaten down with a baseball bat.

They pulled him into the van and soon Matthew woke up in a room, with a push tray and a girl sitting in the corner, "Finally awake, Matthew." He looked at the girl weakly, she was wearing a bunny mask.

"Where are we?" She shushed him, a feminine-sounding shush, "That's for me to know." Matthew then spoke calmly, trying to be complaint of anything, "Why did you kidnap me?" The girl laughed with her voice changer.

"Because you are the biggest threat to my plan but if you try to escape in any way, I will kill you." He nodded, "Anything, you want of me, I will comply." She smiled but through the mask, Matthew could not tell "Good."

Matthew sat there, "Tell me everything about John." She said, "John, he's quiet, timid, he lives on-"
