The Ultimate Punishment

by TrueZero

 

To their parents, Martin and his four friends were as troublesome as could possibly be. They were only sixteen, and they already were on the road to prison. They drank, did drugs, constantly defied and challenged their parents, and recently were released from Police custody after breaking in to an old man's house and damaging several items on his property, and stealing others. Their parents were at their wits' end. How would they make their sons into more upstanding members of society? Well, after several meeting on the weekends after letting their kids go out to get some time away from them, they came up with the perfect idea.

It wasn't until a month later that their plans were done, and a further month and a half until the results were ready to be put into effect, but today the waiting was over, it was time for the five boys to receive their punishment, and to finally take it to heart, because they knew that after today, their teenagers would be a lot easier to handle, and actualy worth something for once in their lives.

The first weekend of their Easter Holidays was a welcome time for the boys, they had arranged to meet up at Martin's house and then play some video games up in his room. Their mothers had gone with them aswell, they had told their sons that they were meeting up with each other in Martin's house for Coffee. As soon as all four of Martin's friends were up in his room, and busy playing games, the plan was put into motion.

It was about Eleven O'Clock, two hours since they had arrived, before Martin's mum, Mrs. Andrews, called the five down to give them a quick announcement. The five boys came down and into the dining room, where the four mothers were sat at the table, and five spare chairs were set out for each boy. Mrs Andrews motioned to the chairs.

"Take a seat." She said bluntly. The boys sat down and waited. The mothers looked at their sons.

Martin was a smallish boy, with messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes, his clothes were usually a black pair of jeans with several rips and tears and a red T-Shirt with one sleeve torn off and the other torn off just before the shoulder. You usually never saw him without a toothpick in his mouth, as he insisted it make him look cool.

His friends looked like they came from all kinds of backgrounds.

Louis Fisher was a large kid in terms of height, and he looked more like he was 18 instead of only 16, he had deep green eyes and incredibly short jet black hair, he wore a basketball shirt and a long pair of blue jeans. Like Martin, he and the others all had toothpicks in their mouths, as it was also a way to identify who was in their group as well as a fashion statement.

Marco Hopkins was a boy with a similar build to Martin, he was small and had pretty much the same muscle density. He wore a Green and Blue version of Martin's outfit, only with the sleeves kept on, unlike the others, he also had a bandana around his neck. He had deep brown eyes and dark brown hair with a hint of blond.

Sam Barker had a medium build and a decent muscle density, he had a black T-Shirt and black jeans on, and also a wristband on his right wrist. His eyes were a shocking blue and his hair was black with crimson streaks, his hair was long enough to pass his eyes, however he kept it gelled back.

Leon Hopkins, Marco's brother, was a larger boy, more bulky than the others, he originally wasn't intended to be accepted into the group, but after he brutally beat up a kid who had begun mocking him, the other four began to see some chance in him, and let him into the group to act as some muscle. He had the same colour eyes as Marco, but slightly lighter hair. He wore a torn black pair of jeans and an electric blue T-Shirt.

The four mothers continued,

"As you obviously know, you were recently released from Police custody, at our expense, we were planning to use the money we shelled out at the station to get you boys College dorm rooms when the five of you leave high school, now however we aren't even sure you'll get into college, and as a result, years of saving has gone down the drain in an afternoon, well, our punishment for you has taken all this time to prepare, and now it's time for the months of work to be rewarded." Mrs. Andrews explained, Martin looked at her and smirked.

"What's our punishment then?" He said mockingly, as if challenging the mothers.

"Well, over the past month and a half you were listening to your favourite songs during the time you were in the house, and during that time your brain has had hypnotic suggestions implanted within your subconcious, for example," Mrs. Fisher explained, taking a small item out of her purse and holding it up for the boys to see. It was a tube of bright red lipstick. "Louis, take this lipstick and put it on."

"Yeah right, like I'd... do..." Louis replied, trailing off, as soon as he had stopped talking, he had gotten up and was walking over to his mother. He took the lipstick, put it on, and passed it back to his mother. "What the hell did I just do?"

"That demonstrates our power over you. The five of you have been hypnotised with a trance so strong that only we can break it. You will be forced to obey every command we give, and as a way to kee yourself safe from accidental triggering, you will only obey the commands of your mother." Mrs Hopkins said, smiling. "And when we do give you a command, you will be forced to obey it without fail, now boys, we're going home to continue your punishment, come along. Oh, and thanks for the coffee Lisa." She added, getting up and thanking Mrs. Andrews. As she left the room Marco and Leon were unable to stop themselves from following her. Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Fisher got up and left too to continue their sons' punishments, they had arranged to meet up again later on, after the boys had been given the 'proper attire'.

Their payback had begun...
