Let The Games Begin...

As the event in the main dining room began to wind down, a few of the patrons began parting ways as they either headed off for the night or headed on to other things.
"Don't get him drunk again!" Zoey joked with her brother as he and several of the other young men in her entourage went to see Ollie in the west wing.
"We'll call it time before midnight. At least it's an afternoon wedding" he replied.

'That gives me a little time at least' Jonny thought to himself. The bar had closed and the other staff were cleaning up as he sipped a soft drink. One of them shot him a look as to say 'get to work' but he casually ignored it as his party trick was ready to activate.

'Any second now...'

Hayley was casually participating in a conversation her and her cousins were having with someone. As she listened in on someone else speak however, her cheerful demeanour suddenly changed. She couldn't describe it, but it was like somebody snapped their fingers in her ear. From there on in, she entered into a bit of a trance like state, with one thing on her mind.

"I think I'm going to head upstairs" she stated, slightly more monotonic than usual.

"Wow, that's early for you" Holly joked. She, like her sister though, was surprised at her cousins sudden change in mood.

"Everything OK Hayley?" Sarah asked.

"Fine Sarah. Just a little tired" Hayley replied in the same tone. Was she tired though? She didn't really know. All she knew was that she had to head somewhere upstairs.

"Well, I guess you down sound tired..." Sarah began. However, before she could make any more assumptions, she heard a click in her ear.
"I guess I'm tired too. Maybe I'll head upstairs".

"But Sarah we..." Holly began before, she too, froze up.

"...have been out all day I guess. I guess we should head upstairs".
All three left their seats, casually said goodbye to who they were talking to and departed, much to the confusion of some on the table.

"They left earlier than I thought" Emily noted to Lynette as she watched the girls depart hastily.

"Yeah, what do you thinks eating them huh...Emily?"
Lynette looked at the other girl, who had been her usual sprightly self earlier, but now sported a more stoney expression.

"Maybe they have the right idea. Maybe I should call it a night" Emily said.

*click*
"Yeah, me too I guess" Lynette suddenly occurred. Zoey was too caught up talking to her parents to notice her friends leave. Tara was more observant however.

"Psst, Zoey. Why is everyone suddenly leaving?" She asked her best friend. Once Zoey had her attention on Tara again, only then did she notice her bridesmaids abscesses.
"Did we really exhaust them that much earlier?" She half joked, half questioned. The two had little time to come up with an answer however. By the time Zoey's mother spoke up, the spell had already taken hold.

"Well if your friends are headed off dear, we don't mind if you want to" she suggested, not wanting to go against her daughter's wishes on the night before been wedding.

"Yeah, maybe I'll get an early night" Zoey told her, thought not quite sure of herself why.

"You sure everything's OK?" Her Dad asked, playing the concerned parent role.

"Oh stop it Alex" her Aunt intervened. "The girl is obviously excited to be getting married tomorrow". Her joke got a rise out of the other doting female relatives.

"Well yeah, just...I'm up at any time if you need me sweetie, OK?" He said, taking Zoey's hand. This elicited a smile from Zoey, who seemed to pause on her actions for a moment. Jonny watched on curiously, wondering if these act if parental affection had somehow broken through on his powers. It only took a moment for her to revert back however, much to his [relief.

As](http://relief.As) she and Tara bid them goodnight, he knew that was his que.
"Ok, showtime" he told himself, leaping out of the young waiter, leaving him confused and shaken as he propelled up through the ceiling. Reaching the top floor, he saw the fruits of his labour at work.

The bridesmaids now stood outside the door to his apparent, all blank faced in their trance like state. They seemed to form a circle, almost making it look like a séance of some kind.

'Maybe these powers inspired horror stories in the past' Jonny pondered to himself.
'And there's the last 2 pieces of the puzzle'.

Zoey and Tara appeared at the foot of the hall way, walking down and taking their places in the circle as they seemed almost oblivious to their friends presence.

'Ok, here we go' Jonny told himself as he projected himself down towards the circles sacrificial lamb in the centre. Zoey nearly rocketed back as Jonny **** his way down his former love interests throat, taking full control of her body for himself. Brushing a few stray locks from his eyes with her manicured fingers, he looked around at her hypnotised friends.

"This'll probably hurt" he nervously joked to himself as he set off clones in all directions. One by one the girls were taking over once more by essences of himself. As he fired off the final wisp he almost felt himself go feint and fall at the exertion. It was only another set of arms catching him that stopped him falling to the floor.

"I've got you 'boss'" he heard 'Tara' say as she helped straightening him back up. Regaining his composure, Jonny looked around at his waiting minions, all plastered with a knowing grin as they knew what was about to happen. He wouldn't keep them waiting any longer. Retrieving the door key from his stash point behind a painting, he turned it slowly in the lock and let the door to his luxury sweet open.

"Ok then girls... let's have some fun"
