Forces Beyond The Grave

4.6

After the long week of hazing, the girls were finally members of Delta Psi. The sisters had a huge party to celebrate the joining ceremonies of not just the sorority, but the fraternity Sigma Alpha Nu too, so the girls were all sent away to change and prepare to get wasted. That's what college was all about, right? For Lennox, since surviving the manor, she'd noticed that it didn't matter how much she drank, she couldn't get drunk, so although she couldn't exactly experience the best partying that college had to offer, she was free to consume as much as she wanted with no consequence. For the rest of the girls, they were all drinking enough alcohol to land them in the hospital the next day. But what they didn't know was that Brittany had one last haze planned for a pledge, and Skye was the unlucky victim. About half way through the night Lennox realised that she'd lost sight of Skye, and after ten minutes of looking around for her she went over to Kaila, who was busy dancing to the deafening music. She tapped her friend, who turned around and smiled when she saw Lennox. 

"Hi! I wondered where you were! Come dance with me!" She yelled over the music. 

"Maybe later! Have you seen Skye?!" She yelled back. 

"What?!" 

"Skye! Where is she?!" 

"Oh! I think I saw someone take her upstairs!" Kaila pointed to the stairs. 

Lennox fought her way upstairs, forcing her way through drunk students and various individuals making out on the stairs, and it wasn't any less crowded on the landing. One of the bathrooms was at the top of the stairs, the door next to it was locked, and the rest were bedrooms that were either empty or occupied by people who couldn't keep their hands off each other long enough to lock the doors behind them. As she turned to go up the second staircase she clocked one of the frat pledges coming out of the locked door at the other end of the hall. She wouldn't have taken any notice, but he had the universal look of just getting laid on his face, and it the only room on the floor that had a locked door. She stepped off the staircase and pushed her way through the students again to get to him, and as she got closer she made eye contact with him. He wiped blood from his lip, his silver ring gleaming red when the light reflected from it. More blood. After just a few seconds his attention settled on his friends. 

"Dude, she was so gone!" He said to them. 

Lennox shoved someone out of her way to clear a path to the once locked door, and as she ducked inside she recognised Skye, passed out on the bed with ripped stockings and her dress half way up her waist.
