Pledges Ch. 06

"Hey Tamryn," Kara said as she set her tray down and took a seat across from her. "How are you?"

Tamryn smiled at the radiant beauty. "Good. I'm good. Well, thanks for coming."

"Thanks for inviting me."

"You look great," Tamryn admitted.

"Lots of workouts in the gym," Kara said. "It's kind of my second home." Then she went quiet and focused all of her attention on her food.

Tamryn wondered how bad she'd hurt Kara's feelings as she watched the girl begin to eat. As she watched Kara silently take tiny bites of the fruits and vegetables on her plate, Tamryn noticed that Kara didn't look at her once.

After waiting for Kara to speak, and finally realizing that she wasn't going to just yet, Tamryn cleared her throat. "So...I think we may have got off on the wrong foot a while back."

Kara looked up from her plate. "Really?"

"Yes. And I wanted to say...that...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I thought that you were just getting close to me in order to get into the sorority."

Kara raised an eyebrow, but remained silent.

"I'm an honest girl," Tamryn pleaded. "And I'm serious. And sincere. You can trust me. I promise I won't do you wrong."

Finally Kara cracked a smile. "I'll take that under advisement," she chuckled as she took another bite of a chunk of a ripe, juicy peach.

Tamryn, smiling, glanced up when a movement to the right of her caught her eye. Her mouth nearly dropped open as she saw Luci staring right at her, standing not even five feet away.

~~~

Luci hadn't even planned to eat that day. Actually, she hadn't eaten in days. A wreck ever since she got her rejection from Rho Sigma Tau, she was even more depressed with being ostracized from Jade and the other sorority members of Mu Lambda.

As a result, she'd been skipping classes. Plus, her grades were slipping, and they were slipping fast. She was able to pull herself together enough to start attending some of her classes again, however, her rumbling stomach couldn't be ignored any longer.

Finally deciding to eat something, she went to the cafeteria after her eleven o'clock class ended. She quickly grabbed a few snacks from one of the food lines, then paid for them at the cashier. Unfortunately, as she turned to leave, her gaze fell right smack on Tamryn.

~~~

Suddenly annoyed, Tamryn turned back to Kara. Forgetting all of her newfound resolutions, Tamryn spoke in a loud voice. "Yeah, well, anyway, Kara, I think you'd make a great addition to Rho Sigma Tau. We only take the best of the best. You have to be a very special person to even make it out of the application process. And, believe me: No one, and I mean no one, who's unworthy gets into our organization."

When Tamryn sat back in her chair, a sick smile on her face, she glanced back in Luci's direction. All she saw was the back of Luci's jacket fluttering as she ran out of the room.

~~~

That night, Brandi sat at her desk, pouring over her accounting course notes. The announced quiz the next afternoon sent her into a studying frenzy, and she'd been working in her room in the Sorority House for hours. However, the tension in her neck and lower back made continuing almost impossible.

Finally at about two in the morning, she put her pen down. "I need a drink," she said as she stood up and stretched. As she did so, her silky white, thigh-length camisole fluttered down over her creamy, café au lait skin.

She then released her golden mass of curls from her rubber band and shook her hair out, her wild ringlets going everywhere.

She wrapped herself in a pink fluffy robe and went downstairs, taking note of the silence throughout the House. Once in the kitchen, she searched the refrigerator for her favorite brand of apple juice, ordered especially for her by Miss Mona herself. When she found the bottle, Brandi grinned at how lucky they were that Miss Mona always paid special attention to their needs.

She grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured herself a tall glass of juice and took a long swallow. "Mmmm," she whispered as the light, fruity taste tickled her tongue.

"Hey Brandi!"

Brandi jumped at the sound of Miko's voice. "Damn. I didn't know anyone was still up. Whatcha need, Soror?"

"Sorry to scare you," Miko smiled as she moved closer. "While you're standing there, can you get a diet soda for me, please?"

As Brandi got a cold can and handed it to Miko, she couldn't help but notice Miko's outfit. The exotic Asian beauty wore a tight, pink tank top with a pair of matching satin hot pants. Brandi licked her lips at Miko's long, luscious, honey brown legs.

"You're looking kinda nice in those hot pants, Miko. So if you ask me? You don't need a diet anything."

Miko roared with laughter. "Honey, I work out twice a day and I barely eat. I better look good!"

Brandi sneaked another peek at Miko's legs. "Damn good, I think."

Miko laughed again, tossed her jet-black curly hair back and took a long swig of the soda. Then she set the can on the counter, put her hands on her hips and stood to her full, six-foot tall height. "I look good? Ya really think so, Bran?"

Brandi grinned. "And what if I do?"

Miko stared the golden beauty down. "Then you might wanna do more than just look."

Brandi stepped right up to the sexy, towering glamazon. "Well...everyone else is asleep, it seems like."

Miko slid her thumbs into the waistband of her hot pants. "Seems like it."

Brandi put her glass on the counter and slid to her knees. "Come on, honey. Pull 'em down!"

Miko slid the silky material down to the floor, then leaned against the counter. She spread her legs wide. "Now whatcha gonna do?" Miko teased.

Brandi admired the creamy skin between Miko's legs. "Looks good, Miko. As usual!" she said as she leaned forward and, without any further words, buried her face, lips and tongue into Miko's wet pussy.

"Oh my god," Miko whispered as she threw her head back. "Do it, Bran!"

Brandi used her tongue to trace small, quick circles around Miko's stiff clit. She worked the tiny digit between her lips until she felt Miko begin to tremble.

"Bran!" Miko moaned. "Oh, Brandi, please!"

Brandi licked even faster. Miko's hot, sweet honey flowed all over her tongue and Brandi sucked harder for even more. She took long laps of Miko's jewel, loving the candied stickiness all over her face.

Miko rolled her hips as she grabbed the back of Brandi's head. "Ooooh, Bran! Faster, faster, baby!"

Brandi doubled her tongue strokes, pushing her face even deeper in Miko's sugary wetness. She liked and sucked the sugary nectar as it flowed out of Miko and down her thighs.

Wanting to feel Miko's tight pussy, Brandi licked her fingers. She started with one finger, slowly sliding it into Miko's heated depths. Feeling Miko squirm against her, she added a second finger. When Miko howled, Brandi began to gently pump her fingers in and out.

"Brandi!" Miko whined. "Oh my God, honey! Do that! Keep doing that!"

Brandi worked a wicked rhythm both on Miko's clit and inside her tight pussy. She licked and pumped in tandem, trying to bring the Glamazon to a roaring climax. When she felt Miko's hands pull her head tightly to her core, Brandi knew that Miko was close.

Miko hunched tightly to Brandi's face, straining to reach her peak. She gripped Brandi's wild mass of curls and thrust her pussy to Brandi's mouth. "Come on, Brandi! Get my spot!"

Brandi pumped even deeper, keeping a gentle rhythm as not to hurt her dear friend, but reaching deeper to find that sweet spot. Suddenly, Brandi felt deep within Miko and reached the soft, spongy mass of highly sensitive inner flesh.

Brandi finally hit the Glamazon's G-Spot.

Suddenly, Miko stiffened. "I'm cumming, Bran! I'm cumming now!"

Miko howled and shook violently as Brandi held on tightly to her hips. Miko rocked against the counter, barely able to stand as the luscious feelings raced though her. Her first orgasm quickly segued into her second, then her third, and then, as Brandi continued stimulating her sweet spot, Miko eventually lost count. Her sizzling-hot, passionate climaxes seemingly lasted forever, and she enjoyed every single second.

Finally, Miko's passion began to wane. Then she looked at the clock. "Oh, honey. It's late!"

"Wow," Brandi said, wiping her mouth. Then she licked the sweet wetness from her fingers. "You taste good. As usual."

Miko laughed. "We do have a history, don't we?"

"Once a week. Every Tuesday, like clockwork." Then Brandi frowned. "And by the way," she said, "what are you doing up anyway? I was studying for my accounting quiz this afternoon. What about you?"

"I was in the living room, lying on the couch watching TV. I heard somebody come downstairs and I just came in to investigate."

"Lucky for you. Anyway, my neck and back are sore. I could use some...some more therapy, please?"

Miko sighed. "Now you know we gotta be up early in the morning! You know that tomorrow's the Big Day."

Brandi frowned. "When has that ever stopped you before?"

Miko laughed. "Ok! I promise to work out all the kinks, Mama!"

The girls laughed as they walked arm in arm back up to Brandi's room.

~~~

Early the next morning, the day before Thanksgiving, at 5:30am sharp, the phone rang in Roxie and Mickie's dorm room. The shrill noise woke Roxie up immediately. Sleepily, she rolled over and picked up the cordless handset.

"Hello?" she whispered

A stern voice came over the line. "Whom am I speaking to?"

"This is Roxanne," she said, wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "Who's calling?"

"This is your worst nightmare. You and Michelle have exactly fifteen minutes to make it over to the campus athletic field. Your membership in Rho Sigma Tau Sorority, Incorporated depends on it."

"Oh my God!" Roxie exclaimed. The phone still in her hand, she ran over to Mickie's bed and shook the girl hard. "Mickie! Mickie!"

"Huh?" Mickie murmured. "Roxie? What the hell --"

"Mickie, wake up!" Roxie shook Mickie even harder. "Come on! It's time! We're on line! We get to pledge!"

"Huh?"

"That was the sorority! We have to go over to the athletic field. We have fifteen minutes to get there!"

All of a sudden, Roxie realized that she still had the phone in her hand.

"Oh my God!" she shrieked into the receiver. "I'm so, so sorry! Was there anything else? Do we need to bring anything?" Roxie's voice shook nervously at the thought of leaving one of the Big Sisters holding on the phone.

There was a long pause, then a soft chuckle. "Don't worry, pledge. Just bring your bodies for now. But I promise: You'll pay for disrespecting me. You'll pay dearly, you worm!"

Roxie's mouth dropped open as the phone went dead in her hand. She looked over at Mickie with a terrified look on her face. Then she got herself together, ran to her closet and started pulling on random clothes. "Come on, Mickie!" she shouted. "We've got to go!"

~~~

Tamryn smiled as she hung up her end of the phone. "Ahhh. The melodious sound of scared pledges. Like music to my ears," she chuckled. "This year's pledging is gonna be fun!"

She glanced at Sierra, who was standing next to her with the pledge phone list.

Sierra just rolled her eyes. "Easy, Killer," she said. "Let's get though the calls first. Then you can torment and terrorize."

Sierra scanned down the list and moved to the next name. "Ok. On to the next girl."

~~~

At that exact same moment, Luci slowly awoke from a restless night's sleep. Her body ached and her head throbbed. The disappointments she'd suffered in the past few weeks, not to mention seeing Tamryn just the day before, were nearly unbearable.

As she opened her eyes, she glanced at the clock. "Oh hell," she whispered. "I have class in a few hours."

Then she paused. "And I have Organic Chemistry later on today." She collapsed back onto her pillow. "That means I have to see Monica."

She grimaced as her stomach tightened. "I don't want to see anyone from that sorority. In fact, I don't want to see anyone."

She looked over at her desk and noticed that her textbooks had barely been opened over the past few days. "I've skipped how many classes lately? And I've been slacking off from studying and it shows. I've flunked two tests and four quizzes last week alone."

She struggled to sit up. "But I finally went back to class yesterday. And what happened? I run into Tamryn! Some damn luck!"

However, she resolved that due to her grades falling recently, she would continue going to her classes and try to get back on track. As such, she slowly rose out of bed, her pillow still damp with her tears from the night before, and lumbered off to the shower.

~~~

At exactly 5:45am, four girls stood silently on the Walter J. Mathis Athletic Field. The trembling quartet had been lined up against the railing just in front of the stadium bleachers.

The sun had not yet risen, and a cold, thick, moist haze descended upon the field. However, the stark chill in the air didn't make the girls shiver as much as the sight in front of them.

In their direct line of vision, sat twenty-two scowling faces perched on cold, hard steel benches.

For the next fifteen minutes, the Sisters evaluated the pledges. Some of the Sisters made notes while the rest spoke in hushed tones to each other. Finally, at exactly 6am, Lina stood and cleared her throat.

"Ladies. Allow me to introduce myself. You used to know me as Lina Jones. However, from now on, my name is Dean Terminator. Which means that anyone that I don't like? Is gone!"

The quartet was frozen in place.

"I take your silence to mean that realize know I'm dead serious." Lina said as she paced back and forth in front of the terrified young women.

"First things first," she announced. "From now on, until we say otherwise, each and every one of you must wear all black when in our presence. Black hoodies, black sweatpants, black gym shoes and black socks. That's your new pledge uniform."

"And get some black draws too," Tamryn cracked from the bleachers. The Sisters laughed.

Lina chuckled as she nodded. "Actually, yeah. You'll need that too. Black bras and black panties."

She paused to look at the frightened looks on their faces. "And you will always refer to me as Dean Terminator, meaning that you will never call me by my first name."

She continued to pace back and forth. "And these ladies," she said as she pointed to the Sisters on the bleachers, "these are your Big Sisters. Each one of them has a specific Big Sister name. It's your responsibility to find out what it is."

Lina looked around. "And you will also be meeting some of our Alumni Chapter members. You will call them by 'Your Ladyship.' Again, you'll have to find out on your own what their individual names are."

She paused. "Got that? Undergraduates are Big Sisters. Alumni are Your Ladyship. Is that clear?"

The pledges nodded.

"Good." Then Candace stepped up and handed Lina four large, sealed manila envelopes. Lina held the envelopes up. "Come and get these, but don't open them yet." The girls rushed to take their envelopes.

"Inside you'll find everything you need for your first few days of Hell." Lina looked around. "First you'll find a list of all the items you'll need to purchase by the time we see you next. Items like your black pledge uniform, your pledge diary and your pledge bookbag. I expect you to carefully check the list and get each and every one of those items."

Lina paused to let everything sink in before she continued. "In those envelopes, you'll also find our Sorority history and the rest of the pledging information. You'll need to learn everything on those pages as soon as possible. Study every single piece of paper and know it all by heart because you'll be required to attend nightly pledging sessions where we'll test your knowledge of our Sorority."

"And we'll test you hard," Brandi laughed.

"All right, pledges," Lina said. "Go ahead and open your envelopes and pull out the pencil and pad of paper." She waited while the pledges fumbled with the envelopes. "Make sure you take careful notes," Lina ordered, "because I'm going to let each of the Sisters explain just what they expect out of you."

The quartet stood silently but wrote furiously as each of the Sorors took turns pacing in front of them and barking various orders and instructions. Each Sister was quite particular about what she wanted from the pledges. Most wanted the pledges to give them gifts such as cute trinkets, candies and other treats. However, every single Sister wanted the pledges to know the Sorority History inside and out and show the utmost respect for their organization.

After the last Sister was done, Lina again took her place in front of the pledges. Then she stepped right up to Nadia and stared her in the eye until the girl lowered her gaze. Then she walked past the other three girls, glaring at them as she passed by. Then she took her place directly in front of them. "But let me say this now," Lina said. "If anyone doesn't think they're ready for this, speak now or forever hold your peace."

The four stood silent.

"One last chance," Sierra chided. "We don't have time for any bullshitters. If you're not serious, then just bounce now."

No one moved.

"Good," Lina said. "Now. As you all know, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And fortunately for you, the Sisters have been gracious enough to let you spend the weekend with your families. However, first thing Monday morning, you need to report to the House at exactly 7am. And you will have all of the required items on your list. And you will be dressed in your black pledge uniforms. And you will not be late," she scowled as she took one last look at the new pledges. "Now. You're dismissed. Now go!"

The quartet scrambled off the bleachers and off the field. Once they were out of sight, all the Sisters broke out into laughter.

"Dean Terminator? What in the hell was that?" Candace joked. "You know you don't have a mean bone in your body!"

Lina grinned. "I know, right? But I always wanted to be a bad girl. I'm tired of being nice!"

Sierra smiled at her friend. "Nice is good. Nice is...you know, nice."

Lina cut a glance at Sierra and rolled her eyes. "Anyway ladies, you've all got the updated pledge schedule. I want to have a quick House meeting tonight at 6 so we can discuss Monday's events. After that, everyone's free for the Thanksgiving weekend, ok?"

All the Sisters nodded.

"Good," Lina said as she checked her watch. "Ok. Now it's almost 7am. I have to get to dance rehearsal, then I have class at 8. I'll catch y'all later." She quickly strode away.

Sierra sighed as she watched Lina walk quickly away. "When am I going to get my girl back?" she whispered.

~~~

Later that afternoon, Luci sat in Organic Chemistry, her chin resting in her hand, barely paying attention to the professor.

Monica Knight, sitting a couple of seats away, stared at her curiously. Ever since Luci had been turned down by the sorority, her attendance in class was sporadic at best. "I'm going to talk to her after class," Monica whispered. "If I can get through to her, then maybe she'll get back on track after the holiday."

Thirty minutes later, the professor dismissed the class and all of the students filed out of the room. Monica quickly gathered her books and stopped Luci as she was walking out.

"Hey Luci? What's going on? I've notices you've been spaced out in class lately. That is, when you've been in class. What's wrong?"

Luci stared at her incredulously. "What do you think's been wrong?"

Monica shrugged. "Fine. I deserved that. But for real, you've been skipping class. And you're on scholarship, right?"

"Yeah."

"Now I know you're disappointed. But can you really afford to wreck your grades?"

Luci sniffed. "No..."

"Well, pull it together, girl." Then she grabbed Luci's hand. "Come on. Let's talk for a minute."
