TYSON
INITIATION
LOYALTY
FRESHMAN YEAR AT BARRINGTON UNIVERSITY
“A s a Lord, one must prove to us that we can count on you. No matter
the situation. No matter the cost.” Lincoln paces in front of me and
the other Lords. He’s our leader I guess you could say.
We’re all required to live at the house of Lords for the next four years of
our lives, and he runs it. I’ve heard rumors that some call the HoL a fraternity
on crack. But no one really knows what happens inside that mansion, other
than the bad ass parties we throw. Only the Lords who attend Barrington and
are going through their initiations know what we really do.
It’s freshman year. Our first time to show just how far we’re willing to go
in order to be the best.
“You will not be punished for your actions, only rewarded,” Lincoln goes
on. “A Lord is willing to take a life without any questions asked.” He comes
to a stop and opens his arms out wide. “You will be given an assignment each
year to show just how far you are willing to go for us.” He crosses his arms
over his chest. “Not all of you will make it, gentlemen, but those of you who
succeed will know a life that others can only dream of.”
My father’s voice echoes in my head. “Joining the Lords is not an option
—it’s an honor. And you want to honor the Crawfords, right, Son?”
“Yes, Father.”
He has prepared me the best he could for this day. For this life. And I will
do whatever I can to be the son he raised me to be—ruthless.
“Tyson, you’re up.” Lincoln’s words have my head snapping up to look
at him.
I stand from the spot where I was kneeling and see a guy enter the
makeshift ring. He’s got to be in his late thirties and have at least six inches
of height on me and who knows how long of a reach. He’s wearing a hoodie
and jeans with black combat boots.
Reaching up, I yank on the top of my shirt and pull it over my head
before throwing it to the side, knowing the fewer restrictions I have, the
better. I’ve also got jeans on but am wearing tennis shoes. They won’t help
me in a fight. But technically I’m not supposed to win. They want us to fail.
It’s their way of weeding out the weak ones as quickly as possible.
The guy shoves his hand into his back pocket and removes a pocketknife,
flipping it open. I see dried blood on the blade and my eyes meet his as he
smiles, showing off his crooked teeth. “You’re dead,” he states.
