A Smile is Your Best Scream

Chapter 7

Victoria P.O.V

I contacted Payne and got the address of the head office of "Confidant" so I could sign up. I wore grey sweater and scarf and jeans with a red beanie, since it was cold outside. I was a bus ride away from the office. I told my mom I would be gone for the day surprised that she was even home but she was buried in case files so I'm guessing she won't be home when I get back.

Now I am standing in front of a brownstone building.

I knocked on the door before a cloth was put over my mouth and nose and arms snaked tightly around my waist I thrashed in the persons arms trying to hold my breathe so I wouldn't breathe in whatever was on the cloth but I was no use and pretty soon everything went black.

I woke up in a darkened room.

"Hello, is anyone there?" I shouted and of course I got no response.

I stood up from the bed and observed my surroundings. There was door which was locked obviously there were no windows and the place didn't even seem to have a bathroom.

I noticed something move from the corner of my eye. I took a fighting stance in the middle of the room.

I stayed perfectly still until it was right behind me. I swerved and kicked it and it tumbled backwards.

I punched it again and it fell to the floor I straddled the person and I was about to throw another punch when the lights turned on revealing...

"Cole" I ask flabbergasted as I got off him.

The door flew open and Mrs.Blake stepped inside.

"Congratulations Victoria you have passed the test and you are now a freshman member of Confidant " she stated calmly.

"What?" I asked stupidly

"Would someone please tell what's going on?" I asked Mrs. Blake as I followed behind her and Cole.

We entered what looked like a conference room, inside there was Xavier, Jake,Cole, Mrs.Blake and I .

"Victoria please sit down" she said

"We have a lot of explaining to do"

Cole P.O.V

They told me that I had to get Victoria.

Payne gave her the fake address and she was there right on time when she knocked on the door and I put a cloth with chloroform over her nose and she was out cold.

I brought her to headquarters where I put her in the initiation room.

I locked the door and hid in the corner of the room. For a girl she packs quite a punch.

I saw stars when she hit me in the face and I swear I almost passed out when she hit me a second time now I know.

Never volunteer to initiate anymore.
