Chapter 27 : Brainwashed

As Joniesha made her down the street, she saw nothing in her path. Her eyes kept clouding up with tears she didn't have patience for. When an image flashed through her head of Tiffany and Vann having sex, she closed her eyes tight, and popped them open. She stopped walking when she saw two big, ass buff men standing in front of her. They had stopped walking about 10 feet from her. They stared at her as she stared back. Then Joniesha drew the two guns she had had hidden.

"Whoa! Whoa!" One of them said, putting his hands up in the air. "We come in peace."

Joniesha raised an eyebrow. "Who are you? And what do you want?"

"I'm Bubba and that's Joker."

Joniesha would have laughed at the names if she hadn't been in such a fucked up mood.

"Ok can I help you?"

"Ace sent us he has a proposition for you."

"Does he now?"

Bubba nodded. "If you please come with us."

"To where exactly? Is Ace on the island now?"

"Yes."

Joniesha smiled. This would be perfect..all she had to do was kill Ace when she got there, and anyone that got in her way, then she can get off this bitch ass island, and dip out.

"Alright lead the way."

Tiffany was sitting on her bed in the dark, she was angry that Joniesha had just left without letting her explain. She was angry that she didn't put that she been sexin Professor Troy out there for everyone to know. She was angry at Darryl for saying shit. As she stared at the wall, she felt arms come around her. She sighed.

"You okay?" Keon asked, rubbing his hands up and down her arms.

"I don't know what just happened." Tiffany said.

Keon shook his head. "Yea that was outta control."

Tiffany sighed again.

"Me and Joniesha have been friends since we were 5 years old. We meet at a play ground actually. A group of girls had been picking on me. I could handle one or two of them but five girls not a chance. Joniesha was tall for a 5 year old, so when she came running over, the girls ran scared. We've been best friends since. We both been raised in some jacked up backgrounds. My father was never around, he came back one night to kill my mother..that was the first time I used a gun."

Tiffany paused..remembering the night she had killed her on father at the age of 11. Joniesha had been there to convince her that it was self defense.

"Joniesha father was an actual drug dealer, he taught her how to use weapons at a young age. When her parents were killed in a gang war, Joniesha seeked revenge. She asked me to join her, and I did. We killed a good 20 people all together at the age of 16. We never got caught."

"Wow." Keon said. "So what happened that night?"

Tiffany didn't have to ask what night he was referring to.

"Joniesha and Vann made a big deal about each other's birthdays and anniversaries. It was mad cute what they use to do for each other. I was envious because at the time I didn't have a man. So Vann's birthday is on Valentine's Day."

"Word?" Keon asked.

"Yea..weird..but true. So Vann and Joniesha had a huge fight the night before about some petty shit. Joniesha had went driving to cool off, and her car had ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere with no reception. Of course, I didn't know this until she told me the day after Vann's birthday when she had returned. Vann had just turned 19, and he was pissed at Joniesha for letting a fight get in between them, even though that's not what happened. I was at home getting drunk off Rose, singing "Broken-hearted" by Brandy and Boyz II Men over and over. Vann had came over to see if Joniesha was there. I had told him no. He walked in my house in a rage. He was going on and on about how pissed he was. I just stared and watched him. When he cooled down he sat next to me, and I rubbed his back, and asked him was he okay. It was meant to be friendly..really it was. But the liquor..Vann's anger..my depression..it kind of all got scrambled up, and lead us to a place we've both regretted."

Keon nodded. "So no feelings are there?"

"Hell no! Vann is not my type! I like my men chocolate!"

Keon smiled, and hugged Tiffany to him. Tiffany hugged him back extremely tight.

"Where is she now?" Keon asked.

"I don't know. But I have a feeling she's gonna run into trouble.

Chicki was in her room, pacing back and forth. She felt so used, so betrayed. She had thought Jordy really liked her. Now he done went up, and hurt her feelings, broke one of her best friends hearts, and broke up a friendship in one stupid move.

"Hey Chicki."

Chicki looked up, and saw Jemi walking in the room. Chicki just stared at Jemi. Chicki couldn't read Jemi's face.

"Are you judging me too?"

Jemi sighed. "No..I mean you didn't know he was with Natasha.....right?"

"NO! I didn't know or else I would have stayed far away from him! Why didn't she tell me!" Chicki yelled.

"Well Jordy was a teacher at the time..even though he was undercover. She didn't want to put his job in jeopardy. So she kept her mouth shut."

Chick plopped herself down on her bed, and covered her hands with her face. "This is a big fuckin mess."

Jemi normally would have been appalled at Chicki's language, but it was a big fuckin mess.

Sabrina was crying hysterically, and yelling at Darryl and Dre to stop trying to kill each other. Najja and Trey were having a hard time keeping away from each other.

"You knew what the hell you were doing, nigga! She was mine!" Darryl said, lurching at him again. Trey pushed him back again.

"Obviously she wasn't yours if I had her screaming my name into the night." Dre said. "You wouldn't know what to do with a woman like Sabrina."

"You don't even know her!"

"Oh I know her very well now."

That did it. Darryl broke out of Trey's grip, and hoped over Najja. He landed right on top of Dre, and hit Dre three times in the face.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Sabrina said, covering her eyes, and pacing back and forth. She hated this. She had John to blame for this! How had he known what had happened! Sabrina ran up the backstairs into the house. She went into her room, and grabbed her lighter, and her small bottle of gasoline she kept with her just in case. She stormed toward John's room. When she bursted the door open, Ariel and John were in there yelling at each other. They both looked at Sabrina when the door flew open.

Ariel glanced at Sabrina's hands. "Sabrina? What are you doing?"

Sabrina said nothing, as she took the top of the gasoline.

"Sabrina! What the hell?" John said.

Sabrina just smiled, let's see him suffer for putting Ariel, Vivie, his son, and Sabrina in this shit. Dre and Darryl could kill each other because of him. Sabrina sprinkled gasoline right out in front of her.

John got ready to dodge for the door. When Sabrina clicked her lighter. "Take another step, and you burn." John froze, Sabrina's voice sound so cold, Ariel knew she was beyond reason. But Ariel had to do something.

"Sabrina?" No reaction. Sabrina continued to toss gasoline around the room. "Sabrina!"

"Ariel...Imma need you to leave the room now."

"Sabrina I can't sit here at let you kill my husband the father of my child."

Sabrina stared at Ariel. "He's hurt you countless times. He's caused me emotional pain." Sabrina said in monotone.

John didn't move, he just stared at Ariel. Ariel stared at Sabrina. "I know that. I do. I'm sorry he did that. He did it out of anger though because of Dre."

"And you still stand up for the bastard after he done flaunted Vivie in front of you. I know Dre was wrong, two wrongs don't make a right!"

"You're right. But Sabrina I love John. Unconditionally. Yes he's fucked up, but we get through our problems."

"You're a stupid bitch then."

Sabrina said, and clicked her lighter. John's eyes widened. Sabrina smiled, and shrugged as she threw the lighted. Flames ignited everywhere. Ariel screamed, as the alarms started to go off. Sabrina stood there watching the flames dance around the room. The flames were so high now she couldn't see John.

"What the hell?!" Vann said. Trey, Najja, Dre,Keon,Miles and Darryl followed behind him.

"Trey get all the females out NOW!" Vann yelled.

Trey grabbed Sabrina and Ariel's arms first since they were the closest to him.

"Najja, and Miles help Trey." Vann said, as Najja ran off to get all the females out the house.

"Keon there's two fire extinguisher's to the left of the fridge, go get them."

Keon took off running. The flames were slithering out of the room, and making its way to the living room. Keon came back with the fire extinguisher, and tossed one to Vann.

"Darryl go bring in the hose." Vann yelled, while spraying the flames. Vann heard the sirens coming, he tossed the fire extinguisher to Dre. Dre continued to try to fight the flames.

Vann ran outside, just as the fire trucks pulled up. Vann glanced around, and saw Ariel screaming, and crying trying to run back in the house. But Najja was holding her back. Vann ran over to her.

"What's wrong, Ariel?" Vann asked.

"John was in that room!" Ariel yelled.

Vann glanced back at the house, as Dre, Darryl, and Keon ran out as the fire men ran into to finish extiguishing the fire.

Tori was sitting in the living room watching America's Best Dance Crew, when she heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Franee yelled. When she opened the door, Joniesha was standing there. She had a helmet like device on her head, and her eyes were so black and dilated you couldn't see any white. She had eight other huge dudes behind her.

Frank came running into the living room "Who's at the-Holy shit!" Frank said, Joniesha snapped her head in his direction. Frank started to back away slowly, Joniesha was yet again covered head to toe in weapons as she walked into the house slowly. The eight men followed.

Vin ran into the living room, as did the others.

Vin had his gun out, he cocked it. Next thing he knew he had a whole in his chest. Screams rang through out the room. Joniesha twirled th shotgun she had just used to shoot Vin, and pointed it at Tah.

Tahneisha gasped. When Joniesha cocked back the gun to fire, one of the eight men stepped forward, and touched her shoulder. He looked the biggest. He was covered in tattoos..and had the most evil looking eyes.

"That's enough Joniesha, I think you got their attention." He said. Joniesha bowed, and moved right in row with the other seven men.

"Hello there. Where are my manners, name's Ace, and I've came to take you with us."

Everyone stared at the man that they were running for their lives from.

"Take us where?" Gloria asked.

"It's a secret, I need you as bait to bring in the others. Joniesha was the only one who knew how to use my secret weapons, she was raised around them. She made it so much easier to brainwash her since she let her anger control her. Her anger triggered the device you see on her head. She's very dangerous when put into the wrong hands don't you think."

Everyone stared at Joniesha, who stood perfectly still like a robot.

"Now everyone move quietly, and quickly. Follow all my directions, or Joniesha here will kill you." Ace said. The seven men seperate to round up everyone, and Joniesha let the way to the two vans waiting outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The firemen came out running out. Ariel gazed up, as she saw John coming down the stairs. His clothes were all scorched, and he had a gash across his leg,that caused him to limp. Ariel ran to him, and wrapped her arms around him. Sabrina blinked, and stared at theh house.

"What happened?" Sabrina said.

Ariel turned to look at her. "You is what happened."

Sabrina looked confused for a minute, and then realization shined in her eyes. "I did that."

Ariel glared at her. "Yes..you did."

Sabrina brought her hands to her head. " I don't remember it."

"Because you're a crazy bitch!" Ariel yelled.

Sabrina didn't respond, as Trey's cell phone went off.

"Hello?"

As Trey listened his eyes widened. "Joniesha is that you?"

Everyone turned to look at Trey. As he listened his mouth dropped open, he stared at his phone when the dial tone came.

"What?!" Brittbrat asked. "What,Joniesha, say?"

"She said,they have captured the others from Italy, and if we didn't get there in 15 hours. She would torture them all....to death."

Everyone gasped. "That doesn't make sense!" Tiffany said. "Why would she go after them?!"

"I mean it sounded like Joniesha, but it didn't. She sounded...kind of like a robot." Trey said frowning.

"What?! What do you mean?" Natasha asked.

"Ok enough with the questions..S.U. students are in danger, and Joniesha defintely is because this is not like her. All this drama that just happened need to drop for ours and their lives sake. We have to fight now." Vann said glanced around.

Natasha stepped forward. "Let's go beat some ass!"

Everyone stared at each other. Then stepped forward, and agreed with Natasha.

Brandon pulled up in an Escalade, and Jordy pulled up in a Navigator. They ran towards the car, and went took off into the night. Not knowing if they would all live through this.
