The days that followed after the party were... interesting. Something had changed between all of you. You and your friends and Camilo were closer somehow. Especially yours and Camilos friendship. So close that you all were starting to feel regret and guilt from lying. One afternoon when it was just you and your group, you asked them.
" Are... we doing the right thing?" You asked. Your friends all exchanged glances. Art sighed.
" Honestly? I don't know anymore."
Dario and Adella looked down at the ground.
" It just feels so wrong." Adella said. You all nodded. Camilo was a great friend. Him nor his family deserved to be lied to like this.
But you all had the same thought.
We have nowhere else to go. No money. No familia. No casa to run to. Only each other.
" I do hope you all aren't having any second thoughts." Gloriosa told them, making everyone jolt in fear. She emerged from the shadowy corner.
" Thought i wasn't here huh?" She told them. They all looked down.
" Dear children, you should be grateful for this job. I'm offering enough money for each of you to lead normal lives." She walked where you all sat, none of you knowing what to say.
" I forgive you. You're all just children with... cold feet." She shrugged. She patted each of your heads. Dario protectively wrapped an arm around his sister's shoulders. Not trusting their boss.
" I wish you'd all not have these second thoughts. I want you to trust me." She was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. She looked at the rising moon.
" You should all sleep. Such young minds need their beauty rest." She said in a baby voice and smiled warmly. All your friends shared a confused and even a bit frightened look. Gloriosa put her arm in the air, her sleeve pulled back to reveal a golden bracelet. A red jewel was set in the center. It looked very valuable. Music started as she slowly walked around your group. She started singing. ( READERS PLEASE LISTEN TO TRUST IN ME BY SCARLETT JOHANSSEN AS YOU READ ON.)
" Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes." She leaned and touched your eyelid, the red jewel started glowing eerily and green mist spread around the room slowly.
" Trust in me
You can sleep
Safe and sound
Knowing I
Am around." Gloriosa ran her hands affectionately through Adella's hair. Her eyelids started drooping. You and your friends started getting very sleepy.
" Slip into silent slumber,
Sail on a silver mist~
Slowly and surely
Your senses will cease to resist." You all leaned your heads on each other, falling asleep. Art layed on the bench you all were sitting on. Resting his head on your laps.
" Just relax
Be at rest
Like a bird
In a nest
Trust in me
Just in me." She stepped eerily, looking at each of you asleep. Her eyes burned with the fire.
" Shut your eyes
And trust in me..."
Gloriosas eyes glowed with the same sparkling red as the jewel as she hexed them. " This is just a little nudge in the right direction. Sleep now. You'll all wake up feeling...renewed." She chuckled.
