Excerpt
Anna shook her head. “I’m glad it’s
over.” She slowly closed her eyes and took the deepest breath possible. “But
I’m proud of myself. I hate the sight of blood, but it was worth it.” She
lifted her left hand to examine the cut. Blood trailed down her finger.
Lucinda also raised her left hand.
Her middle finger dripped with blood. “Then let’s get started.” She lit a tall
taper candle on the table. The flame flickered slightly giving the darkened
room a mystical glow. “On this day of January the twenty-fourth …” She stretched
out her arm toward Anna. “I, Lucinda Ann Walker, being of sound mind and body,
make you my blood sister.”
Anna giggled. “You make it sound so
formal.” She could tell Lucinda fought back a smile, but her face stayed
solemn. “Alright, then.” Anna cleared her throat. “I, Anna Grace Douglass, also
being of sound mind and body, make you my blood sister in the year of our Lord,
1923.”
They positioned their hands
together, fingertip-to-fingertip, mixing the blood. Anna’s finger throbbed with
pain, but she felt happy. She was thrilled she decided to come to this very
exclusive private boarding school on scholarship. When she met her roommate she
never dreamed they’d become best friends. Lucinda’s personality was bigger than
life, quite the opposite of Anna. Now five months later, they were a sorority
of two.
