The new school year had started, and all the fraternities and sororities had accepted their pledges and were in the midst of performing whatever humiliating rituals they normally did; one such sorority was getting ready for their final initiation ritual.
Five young freshmen were gathering in the common room on a Friday afternoon, waiting for further instructions. There was Tracy, a tall, skinny, Spanish girl with long straight black hair, perky little tits, and a tight little ass, majoring in music; Felicia, her best friend, a black girl of average height, with short black hair, averaged sized tits, and a nice round ass, majoring in education; Quynh Mi, a short, Vietnamese girl, with straight brown hair, and monster tits, majoring in photography; Oxana, a tall, skinny, Russian girl with shoulder length blond hair, medium sized tits, and a tight little ass, majoring in finance; and Claudia, an Italian girl of average height, with long wavy brown hair, and grapefruit sized tits, majoring in marketing. The five of them sat there in silence, knowing that if they were caught talking, they would be forced to bare their ass and receive 10 whacks with the sorority's paddle; which hung, menacingly next to the doorway.
They could hear the other sorority sisters upstairs, making a lot of noise. After a while, the noise died down and they could be heard coming down the stairs. All fifteen sorority sisters marched into the room, the five sophomore sisters holding large duffle bags, obviously full. Once everyone was in the room, and there was silence, the head girl Mandy, a short, Greek girl, with long blond hair, large tits, and a round ass, who was in her last year of accounting, stepped forward to address the pledges.
"You five little girls are about to perform the traditional final ritual, that will turn you from mere pledges, in full-fledged sisters. Behind me you will see last year's pledges, who had to perform the same ritual as you. They are each holding a bag that contains what you will need for this great honor." She paused while each of the sophomores handed each one of the pledges a bag. Once the girls were all back in place, she continued, "Now, tied to each bag is a blindfold; you will remove it and put it on." Without a word, all five girls did as they were told.
"Now each of you will be guided by your sister to the minivan outside. You will sit there in silence, not touching your blindfold, for the duration of the trip." The girls all felt someone take their hands, and lead them out the front door. When they reached the driveway, they were helped one by one, into the minivan with their bags in their laps. One of the sisters got in the driver's seat and started the engine. The remaining girls, got into the remaining cars, and started them. Then they were off.
The girls sat there in silence, waiting to reach their destination. What seemed like an awfully long time later, the minivan finally stopped. The other cars could be heard pulling up just behind it. The girls were then helped out of the minivan and up a set of four stairs. They could hear someone unlocking a door, then the door creak open. They were lead inside, and up a flight of stairs. They were stopped at the landing, and their blindfolds were removed. The girls could see that they were in a very large, very old house. Mandy started speaking again. "You five will now prove yourselves with the final test. You will all spend the entire weekend here, without leaving the house; all the doors and windows are locked from the outside. There will be no contact with the outside world, as there are no phones, and you will each be required to spend four hours, alone, and naked in the basement, where there are no lights. On Sunday, you will be released, and will attend your elevation ceremony at the sorority Halloween party. Now some of you may have questions, feel free to ask them now, there will be no punishments,"
The girls all looked at each other, then Quynh Mi asked "What if there's an emergency?"
"There will be one phone left in the house, but all the buttons have been covered over, and the only button that isn't is the speed dial to the sorority house where we will have a sister by the phone at all times this weekend."
Felicia asked, "What about food?"
"You'll find that everything you need is in the kitchen."
There was a minute of silence before Mandy said "You may be wondering about why you must each spend four hours alone and naked in the basement; and as to how exactly we will monitor this. Will if you look down at the door on the left of the entrance, you'll notice that just above it is a camera. That camera will be monitored by the same sister monitoring the phone. The door is also controlled by remote, by that same girl. She will let you in, and four hours later, she will let you out. We will call you with the order of girls."
"As to why you shall be spending the weekend here, and more specifically, four hours alone and naked in the basement. Well it's quite simple, you see, this is Hawthorn Manor. Those of you, who know your sorority history, will know that this was the original sorority house, before it was moved to its present location. Now the history, behind why it was moved is not widely known. The story most people believe is that a sister died here; the truth, however, is a lot more disturbing."
"Thirty years ago, on Halloween night, when there were only three pledges entered per year, the twelve sisters had all just gone to bed after performing the old final ritual, feeling happy that it was over, and anxious for the party that would take place the following evening. Little did they know that for most of them, this was not going to be a restful night, and for six of them, it would be their last. You see, back then, no one really thought much about security, so when someone wanted to break into an old house like this one, they didn't really have to try hard; and that night someone did want to break into the house, only he had no interest in robbing the place, he had other things in mind."
"It's suspected that he made his way upstairs to the head girls room first, where he raped her at knife point, and then slit her throat. He then made his way to the next room, which contained the other two seniors. It's believed he used chlorophyll to render one of the girls unconscious, and then forced the other girl to have sex with her before killing them both. They think that next he caught one of the freshmen returning from the washroom, where he forced her back in, tied her arms to the pole with the shower curtain and gagged her with a towel. He left her there, probably intending to come back for her later; but you'll see. He then went into the room containing the other two freshmen where it's believed he did the same thing that he had done to the seniors."
"He had now believed that he had killed five girls, and had one tied up in the washroom. His next move was to sneak into the room with the sophomores, and render one of them unconscious, and then carry her out and down to the basement. He repeated this with the other two sophomores. When they awoke they were all tied to various pieces of furniture, which that had been deposited down there, and were gagged. He then proceeded to rape each one of them in turn, killing the first two when he was done with them. Just as he was about to kill the last girl her was attacked from behind."
"It turns out that the head girl had actually survived his attack and had managed to crawl to the one room he had yet to disturb, the room with the three juniors. Together they had found the freshmen tied up, released her and made their way downstairs, where they came in just as he was about to kill again. As one they tackled him. A struggle ensued and he was overpowered. The head girl managed to grab his knife, and then, while the other girls were holding him down, straddled him and plunged the knife into his chest repeatedly. She was so enraged that the four girls had to physically remove her from the room, to wait for and ambulance."
"When the authorities came, they found six dead girls, and one dead assailant. The remaining girls were all taken to the hospital for treatment. When the head girl was finally released from the hospital two weeks later, she was fully expecting to be arrested for killing the assailant; however, she was surprised to find out that the police report said that the assailant had tripped trying to run away, and fell onto his own knife. Everyone knew the truth, but not a single person would ever come forward and blame her for what she had done."
"Many believe that this place is haunted by the spirits of the six girls who died that night and that the spirit of the assailant haunts the basement alone. It is also believed that every year, around Halloween, the spirits become stronger, and can actually affect the real world. Many pledges have said that weird things happen here; that they feel sad. What do they say about their time in the basement?" she paused and let the silence hang for a minute "You'll only hear those stories when we pick you up Sunday night. Goodbye." And without another word the fifteen girls turned, marched out the door, and locked it; leaving the five pledges standing there in silence.
"Well, that was a load of B.S." said Quynh Mi finally. The four other girls looked at her. "Come on, you can't tell me that you guys believe any of that do you? It was just a story to scare us."
"I don't know." said Claudia. "My cousin Maria, who graduated last year, was in this sorority, and she told me that the story was true. After the weekend, new sisters meet the survivors, and see all the newspaper clippings. She wouldn't tell me more, only that it changed her life."
"Even if the story is true, ghosts don't exist. They probably have this whole place rigged to seem like its haunted." The other four girls noticeably relaxed at this thought.
