INITIATION
SIN
LOYALTY
FRESHMAN YEAR AT BARRINGTON UNIVERSITY
I SIT STRAIGHT up as I hear my bedroom door bang against the wall. The
lights are flipped on, making me squint at the harsh brightness. Men’s
voices are screaming at the top of their lungs, but the words they’re saying
don’t register in my foggy mind.
Hands grab at my body, and my adrenaline immediately kicks in. I punch
aimlessly, my body now wide awake and aware that men are in my room. I
hit a face, making one of them grunt. I hit another body part, making
another curse.
But there are too many of them. I’m yanked off my bed and fall face-first
onto the floor. A knee is shoved into my back, and my arms are yanked
behind me. “Get the fuck off me,” I shout before something is shoved over
my head, effectively taking away my sight.
My heavy breathing fills the hot and heavy hood.
I roll over onto my back. Kicking my feet aimlessly, I try to make contact
with anything I can. But something heavy presses down on my chest, and I
feel a prick in my neck. My body instantly betrays me as it goes limp on my
floor. The last thing I feel is something being wrapped around my ankles
when my eyes roll into the back of my head.
_______________
I OPEN MY heavy eyes, having to blink several times before they focus.
My head is foggy, my body sluggish. They drugged me. It takes me a few
seconds to see I’m in a room with other men—fellow Lords who are being
initiated.
I only count three. The rest must have been taken somewhere else for a
different type of initiation. Rumors are, they like to break us up. That way
we’re not all aware of what goes on. What we’re expected to do. Some are
challenged more than others. It’s to weed out the weak from the strong.
This is a part of our journey to rule the world. If you want to be a man,
then you take one’s life. My father once told me that when he came home
covered in blood, pistol in hand.
Growing up, I always thought we were different. But that night solidified
my suspicions. I was twelve when I found out he was a Lord, and I’d one
day get the chance to be one as well.
You’d be surprised what a man will do to survive, Easton, he added when
I questioned how he could take a man’s life and then go about his day like it
didn’t happen.
“Welcome, brothers,” Lincoln calls out from behind me. “This is the
beginning of your journey. Your first assignment, gentlemen. If you do not
complete it, you will not receive another.”
Translation—if we don’t kill our target, we’re out. And you don’t want to
be stripped of your Lord title. They won’t kill you, but you’ll always be
looking over your shoulder with the possibility.
