Gracie Rose | tracy beaker returns {on hiatus}

"Right. Who wants to be an official member?" Elektra asked us.

"Oh, erm..I thought we were all official members already?" Tee questioned. Elektra shook her head.

"No. Not until you've done your initiation." Elektra said. I looked at Frank, who subtly took my hand to calm me down. We all knew we were about to fall into a deep trap.

"Frank, I've got an idea." she said. Elektra began explaining what Frank needed to do for his 'initiation' before explaining to Johnny what his was. All of these little tests seemed to be things that would annoy Mike and Gina, and I had no idea where it would end up. My head was spinning, worrying about what my initiation would be, when I'd be doing it, and who it would cause problems towards.

This wasn't me.

I wouldn't dare cause problems on purpose.

Was I going to get sanctioned?

Is everyone going to hate me?

Is Tracy ever going to forgive me for what Elektra plans for me to do?

I can't lose Tracy. Even if everyone else hated me, the only person I needed was Tracy. If I lost her, I'd be no one.

I could end up stealing, or running away, or hurting those I love.

I don't want to do this.

I know I shouldn't have trusted Elektra.

But it's too late to turn back now...

"Gracie!" I heard Elektra shout. She'd clapped in my face because I was daydreaming. Well, overthinking, but it looked like I was daydreaming.

"Sorry." I said. "What's happening?"

"Johnny and Frank are about to go off and do their initiations." Carmen said. Johnny and Frank stood up and went to complete then, and we all followed behind. Tee and I were the last out of the attic.

"What if we get stuck doing something really bad?" she asked me.

"I know. I thought that too. That's what I was 'daydreaming' about." I replied. I held her hand and we gave each other nervous smiles, reminding each other we wouldn't leave one another and we'd stick together no matter what.

Watching Gina's reactions to both of the tests were pretty funny, but I knew they wouldn't stay funny for long. I had worked out what Elektra was capable of, and I didn't want to have to do anything that would get me into serious trouble.

We cleaned up the floor when Gina got soaked, while Elektra just stood there watching, which I thought was a little weird, but it was fun cleaning up the water as we were all laughing whilst doing it.

TWO HOURS LATER

"Okay, Tee. You're next. What are you going to do?" Elektra said.

"I don't know. I can't think of anything!" Tee complained. She was so worried, like me, about getting into trouble.

"Ooo, how about a lock of Gina's hair?" Elektra suggested.

"That's a good one!" Carmen agreed.

"But how am I supposed to get that?" Tee said. She looked at me with a confused look on her face.

"A true member of SETA would always find a way." Elektra smirked.

"Guys I don't wanna get in trouble.." Tee said to me and Johnny.

"You won't if you don't get caught." Johnny replied.

*****

"I told you to cut off a lock of her hair!" Elektra moaned.
