“I don’t think it’s a good idea, Frank,” Lois said when he offered her his hand.

“Of course it is. Come on, it’ll be fun,” Frank chuckled, pulled Lois to him when she finally took his hand. He pressed a quick kiss on her lips before leading her through the dark, desert corridors of their high school. It was late at night, and was true they weren’t supposed to be in here. They had to enter through a window. Lois chuckled at that, it was the first time she actually was doing something to disobey her parents.

Since she started dating Frank, she was seeing more of the life around. She was evolving for the best, with him at her side, and she believed, even at her young age, that she loved him. He was so kind with her, always a charming gentleman. He was making her discover places, food, and parts of herself she wouldn’t have on her own.

“Where are we going?” She asked, a smile on her lips.

“Follow me, and you’ll know soon enough. You’ll like it.”

“Are we gonna make things explode in the chemistry lab?” She always dreamt of doing that. He laughed.

“No, even better, little demon.”

She followed him to a lone door, a closet with the renown to hold many make out sessions between the students. This time it was locked, and Frank produced a lock pick kit.

“How come you have that?”

“It always can come in handy, like now,” he winked at her, and she hmmphed and knew it was a lie, Frank was sometimes being mysterious, giving her half answers, but she’d came to deal with it, so whatever.

He seemed quite skilled with the lock pick, for it only took him a few minutes before the door was opened.

“I still don’t understand why you brought me here…”

“Hush, and look.” He pointed something. A trap.

“I never saw that thing before.” She frowned.

“You were a bit too busy to care about the floor.” That earned him a light slap on the arm, and he laughed. He went to the trap and, after a bit of struggle, opened it. There was light down there.

“Go down. I’m right behind you.”

Too curious to learn about knowing what was down there, she didn’t notice the glint in Frank’s eyes.

“Yuck, it’s so stuffy down here,” she complained. There wasn’t much to look at, the torch on the wall was only lighting the ladder surroundings, and Lois couldn’t see much far.

“Frank, are you- Hey, what the-!”

Men suddenly surrounded her, and one painfully grabbed her arm.

“Lois,” one barked.

“Who are you?” How did they know her? Behind her, Frank was climbing down the ladder.

“Frank didn’t tell you?”

“Tell me what? You’re hurting me.” She was now scared, and the guy wouldn’t loosen his grip on her.

“You’ve been chosen, sweetheart.”

“Chosen for what? I don’t understand, Frank, you said it’d be fun, what’s happening?”

“Come on, babe, I’ll show you where the fun begins,” darkly chuckled the one beside her. They were six in all, including Frank, and they escorted her through badly lit corridors. It was frightening, but she kept repeating to herself to stay calm and to observe. Frank wouldn’t even look at her. They finally emerged into a low ceiling cave, with an altar and a table in the center. Chains were attached to it. She began to struggle.

“What is happening?”

“Hush, hun,” said Frank, taking the place of the other man who let go of her. He took her hand, but his firm grip confirmed her he didn’t want her to escape. He dragged her on the table and forced her on her back on it. She tried to make a run for it, but one beefcake stopped her and brought her back. They strapped her on the table and all six circled her, one holding an old-looking book and a curved knife. 

She was openly sobbing at that point.

He gave the knife to Frank.

“Let your initiation begins, Frank.”
