Something very bad

The next few days are a bit awkward between you and your friends after the events of the party, with some trying to laugh about it, while others do anything and everything they can to avoid talking about it, but once the shock of what you all did fades everything takes a more positive turn.

From what you gather Yuki and Terri had started to properly date, and had enjoyed a nice evening where they went out and saw a crappy rom com which they both hated, but very much enjoyed discussing how much they both hated it.

Amy had started to take an interest in Cosplay after spending time with Emma and discovering the after parties and after hours panels and the sort of stuff shown on the screenings once the younger crowd had gone home and the drinking started. Then when Amy was shown some of the skimpier designs that people like to try out she was hooked and begged Emma to help her pick out an outfit, which led to Emma showing Amy some fairly beginner friendly Anime to get her an idea about the character she'd be dressing as, so that the fans of the show that approach her won't scare her off by saying something from the show.

You had also been spending a good amount of time with Tanya looking into the local colleges and various aparentments that Tanya might be able to rent nearby. Currently she shared a luxury one with her mother, but was looking to move out eventually. Naturally you'd want to use the dorms so you'd get the full feel for college life, but with the prospect of somewhere you could disappear to for some peace or privacy. While you were researching this, when not enjoying Tanya's company or heading home to prove to Jamie that you were still alive, and to grab the occasional change of clothes, Tanya was using her hidden talents in editing her video into something that she seemed happy with, but wouldn't show you much beyond the odd clip.

Roughly four days after that fateful party you and all of your friends all meet up at a Coffee shop to catch up in person, but also because Tanya had finished what she referred to as her masterpiece. You had ensured to get there early enough to reserve one of the large tables with the big privacy screeens, and in an area where the Wifi signal from the shop was decent enough.

"Well ladies, it was a wild ride making it, and I certainly enjoyed editing it, so I'm proud to present our video." Tanya says in a proud manner as she holds up her laptop and shows off the fairly plain screen to a file hosting website. "Ellie if you would do the honors the password is Princess." Tanya says with a smug smile as she passes you the laptop.

"Of course it is." You say as you shake your head, and click the download link, and then imput Princess in box only to be told it was invalid. You try again this time all lowercase, and nothing.

"You didn't spell it with any numbers or anything in it, did you Tanya?" You ask as you take a sip from your coffee.

"Oh shit sorry my bad, I had to reset my password recently and it told me I needed numbers. It's Capital P then the e's are 3's and the s's are 5's." Tanya replies as you nod and input the password. You type the word Princ355 and this time you're taken to the next page. You see a folder called Party and open it, but rather than seeing the sizeable video file and some high quality stills of you all together, mixed in with some pictures from you various social media's as some strange mix of a scrabook come porno, but then again you dind't feel like questioning it then, and still don't now.

A single file sits in the folder, a simple text document labeled read me. You glance over at Tanya who grins as you look back and open the file.

'I'm sorry princess you're files are in another castle.' Followed by a url link. Leave it to Tanya to give you a breadcrumb trail to follow with a Mario reference. You click the link and it opens to an old messenger site, you vaguely remember them from when you were younger, but hadn't seen them in years.

"Any reason you made the scavenger hunt?" You ask Tanya as you turn to her, as she looks back to you, and then moves over and sits next to you and looks at the screen.

"I didn't, what is that?" Tanya asks as she points to the old messaging website.

"I dunno it was the link in that word file that was in the folder." You reply as you show her the first link and the folder called party, and the word file, and the link. You were starting to get worried when you were distracted by a sound, and you click back on the web browser and see a new messenger in the messaging site, from a user named Ph4ntom.

'I have your file, and if you don't want me to upload it to every porn site out there, as well as linking it to all of your social media's then you will do as I say.'

You look over to Tanya who reads the message and doesn't say anything, as another ping makes you look back to the screen.

'I have your number Tanya and I'll text you instructions of what to do.'

'You will do everything I ask you to. Failure to do so means I'll leak the file. Trying to trick me, means I'll Leak the file. Trying to locate me, means I'll leak the file. Going to anyone to help, I'll lack the file.'

'If you or your slutty friends value your reputations/futures you'll do everything you are asked. I'll be intouch.' With that the website closes itself and you look at Tanya who was looking more and more worried by the second.

"We're fucked." You groans as you put your head in your hands, the tone around the table suddenly shifts as everyone is focusing on you.

"What's happened?" Yuki asks with a smil as she reaches over and rubs your knee reasuringly.

"I've been hacked, fuckers got out video." Tanya groans as bangs her first on the table, leaving a long and deafening silence for a long time.

"Why did you even upload it to the internet!?!?" Terri ask in a harsh but hushed tone as the color drains from her face as panic begins to set

"So I could send you all the link, incase anyone forgot or doesn't have a memory stick with them." Tanya replies with a panicked look on her face. "I thought it'd be fine." Tanya groans as she mutters swearwords under her breath.

"So how fucked are we?" Terri says in a tone halfway between anger and fear.

"So far, we're ok, it hasn't been uploaded yet, but it seems our hacker wants us to do things for them." You reply with a heavy sigh as you can feel a throbbing headache that only a huge problem can summon.

"What sort of things?" Yuki asked sounding nervous, as Terri rests a hand on her shoulder reassuringly, as some instincts kick in for her, and her own fear and anger is ignored as she tries to comfort Yuki.

"Nothing good, thats for sure." You reply in a flat tone. In your mind you had logically concluded that given the file was a porno of all of you, that you'd likley be doing sexual things, possibly for the hackers personal financial gain, or perhaps just as a power trip for the. "They'll contact Tanya with the demands." You continue as Tanya still has her head in her hands.

"Can't we go to the cops or something?" Terri asks hopefully as she looks to you for hope.

"No, the hacker said if we tried anything like that, or even anything to try and track them down, or tried to refuse any requests that they'd leak the file. Although what would we even tell them, that someone hacked our friend and were blackmailing us with the porn we made together." You say in a defeated tone as you massaged your head.

"Maybe it might not be awful?" Amy offers in a tone she didn't quite even beleive.

"Well not like we've got the choice, but we'll just deal with it as it comes up, not like they can **** us to do anything, if we find it a worse fate than our video being leaked." Emma says in a slightly sad tone, but tries to remain her normal calm self.

"Well now what?" Terri asks as she continues to rubs Yuki's shoulder.

"I guess we head home, and wait for news. I'll take Tanya back to mine, we'll let you know when we hear anything." You say with another deep sigh as you look over at Tanya who you've never seen like this before, even when she'd fucked up in the past, she's never looked like this. One by one your friends head back to their homes as you settle the tab and hail a cab for both you and Tanya who you had managed to comfort enough to take her head out of her hands and merely sitting in silence.

Thankfully Jamie is out of the house when you get in, and you get Tanya up to your room, while you sit and wait for the first dreaded demand.
