Chapter Two: Pink Mansion

I finished those end-of-year exams, calmly.

I was ready to jump into my sophomore year. I had a friend named Jasmine, and I told her I had met a nice girl who invited me to join their sorority.

Jasmine saw the card and was horrified.

"Are you crazy? Don't hang out with those girls!"

"Why not?"

Jasmine was thoughtful, something was blocking her mind, some secret she knew, but didn't want to tell me at the time, maybe because she knew I wouldn't believe her.

"I have a sister who studied History last year, she told me to be careful with this sorority..."

"But why? What's so bad about them?"

"My sister said that...she heard rumors..."

"What kind of rumors?"

She was very hesitant to say it.

"You wouldn't believe it, and I don't believe it either, but my sister told me very seriously, these girls from Gota De Sabor Rosa, they have that name because, they..."

She was interrupted at that moment by the history teacher, Scott.

"Are you Jessa's sister?"

"Yes! Did you know her, sir?"

"Yes! She was my student. I hope she became a great historian."

"She works in a museum and in the future intends to become a teacher in a public school."

While my friend was saying this, the teacher took the card and looked at it.

"Are you going to join this group?"

"Oh! No! It's from my colleague here."

He looked at me with a strange face. And said enigmatically:

"Keep this a secret, don't show it to anyone."

I nodded. The Pink Flavored Drops Sorority seemed more like a secret society than a group of preppy girls.

Now I had to join to find out what was so scary about them.

My second year of college had arrived.

I was still immersed in my studies. Now I had to find another job, which I found at a store, Gla_mour! A fancy store, whose clothes were worth more than my salary.

It was already March, I was in my room going through my books and notebooks when the pink card fell on the floor. I remembered the strange Sorority. And I decided to look them up. At the time I wondered if they would accept me, even though it had taken them a while to introduce myself?

But since no one had told me anything. There was no date, no procedures, and no location, I remembered that Solane had said about a pink mansion. I decided to look it up.

There was no website for them, not for Pink Drops, or for the pink... Mansion. Until I found a post about the mansion on Instagram. It looked more like a pink palace. Very bright and beautiful, I got the address and decided to go there for a little visit.

At eleven o'clock in the morning I took an Uber to get there. After all, there were no cars at the time. The mansion was not haunted at all. The curtains were light pink. The purple carpet at the entrance enchanted me, I almost took it to take home. I climbed on top of it and confidently rang the bell, I heard the sound of a bell, very cute echoing inside.

Then two scary creatures opened the door. A pair of twins, Tifany and Tayla.

"Hi!"

They both said to me together, not being very friendly with me.

"Is this the headquarters of Pink Flavor Drops?"

The two of them crossed their arms together and answered me:

"Who's knocking?"

I don't know if it was a password or a provocation. Then I remembered the card and presented it saying:

"A guest!"

One of them, I don't know if it was Tifany or Tayla, I never distinguished who was who between the two, looked at the card, took it from my hand and felt the texture. One looked at the other and then they looked at me and one of them asked me:

"Who gave you this?"

I tried to remember the name of the Asian girl I met in the bathroom:

"Solange? Solaria? Solene!"

Then they both answered me together:

"Wait!"

They both closed the door in my face and left me waiting. About two or three minutes passed and they reopened the door and asked me:

"Do you really want to join our Sorority?"

"Yes!" I answered with conviction.

One of them gave me back the card and said:

"Be here at midnight sharp tomorrow! We'll open the door at that time. If you're too early, we'll ignore you, and if you arrive one second after the big hour, the door will never open for you again!"

I took the card and tried to look behind their shoulders to see what it was like inside.

"Is Solane there? I wish I could see the mansion before I went in."

They both raised their palms and said to me, together in such a synchronized way that it startled me:

"Stop! Profane are not allowed here."

"Profane?"

"Yes!" one replied, to which the other added: "Go look up the meaning of the word and only come back here at midnight sharp!"

They knocked on the door in my face.

I had to go back to my house, and I looked up the meaning of the profane word: (which does not belong to the realm of the sacred). So I decided at midnight (witching hour) I would step through that door.

I wanted to try this Pink Flavor Drop and see if it was really good.
