MAFIA QUIN

"Repeat after me" the big man in suit ordered.

"I as a member of the Black Eagle Mafia do swear to serve this mafia with all I have promising never to betray".

All the new recruits, including me repeated after him.

“Repeat, mafia before family, mafia before friends and mafia before my life”.

We all kept quiet, it was now we all understood what we were getting into.

“I SAID REPEAT!!”, the big man boomed. We  all did but out of fear.

“Good, now get in line, today is the day that you joined this mafia and as evidence you shall all be branded”

At first I was confused until I felt seething hot iron touch my skin on the back of my left shoulder. I screamed in pain. I so hadn't expected that. I heard the screams of others beside me.

The man kept quiet till we had all been branded and the screams had died down, then he made his announcement.

“Since you all are still new you will be staying here in this building for three months and will be passed through a series of tests. If you pass you live and if you don't... well you die." He said that so nonchalantly that it sent shivers through me.

“Now get to your rooms".

No one moved. The man glared at us till one ef us mustered up courage to speak.

“Uh...sir we_  don't have rooms yet".

He glared harder then said “Sort that among yourselves, three people to a room”, then he walked out.

We waited till he out the door then we all scrambled up to find rooms. Apparently  there were only few good ones. After getting punched in the face a few times, I decided to go ahead and look for the not-too-bad rooms. I finally found one and placed my duffed bag  on the bed farthest away from the toilet and closer to the window. The room was bare of anything except three beds and two good chairs.

The inside was painted grey with the face of an eagle painted in the middle of the wall.

I guess this used to be their old headquarters or something. I opened my bag and brought out a large sheet and placed it on my bed, then grabbed the best looking chair and placed it behind my bed that way making my soon to be roomies know it belonged to me.

I sat on my bed and brought out a small silver dagger from my bag. It had the symbol of a cobra engraved on it. I ran my finger over it but quickly stuffed it back the moment the door opened.

A girl stepped in observed the room then put her bag on the bed opposite mine and then grabbed the other chair.

“Hi” she said when she was done arranging her things.

"Hi" I replied.

"I'm Tammy, Tammy Waters" she said.

"Quin Trevor"

"Wow, you have the same surname as the former leaders of the Cobra mafia. I heard they were assassinated couple years ago.”

"Yay" I said coldly and laid on my bed.

The door opened again and a guy stepped in. He looked around, then at the both of us and shrugged. He dropped his bag on the last available bed and laid on it, using his bag as a pillow. I did the same not having anything better to do. I slept off almost immediately.
