Chapter 5

It was late at night. The guys told me they wanted me to do an initiation. I wasn't sure what to expect. I opened the back window in great grampa Carl's bedroom.

"Justice?"

I jumped when I heard Jesse's voice.

"Oh it's just you, what are you doing go back to bed!" I whispered.

"Me? What are you doing?"

"Mind your own business."

"Justice...with Bryan being kidnapped...you really think it's a good idea to sneak out of the house, what if something happens to you."

"Look... I'll be back, you know those soccer guys from the 10th grade: Adrian, Tyson, Bentley, and Sean?"

"Yeah I know them...they tease me everyday..."

"That doesn't matter...you'll get over it...what matters is that they want me to be apart of their gang. I'm in."

"Justice..."

"Look I want this Jesse...It would make me happy. You want me to be happy right?"

Jesse didn't say anything he just stood there with his arms folded.

"Good...I'll be back in an hour."

"And if you're not?"

"Call my phone... Don't tell grandma and grandpa."

He let me go. Without a fight or without another word. I guess he knew he couldn't stop me. Jesse was smart that way.

Tyson picked me up and took me to the meet the guys in the middle of Bellwood forest.

"This is gonna be so great man." I told him.

"You bet it is." Ty replied back.

We walked further into the brush. The highway and the grounds parking lot kept getting farther and farther away. Soon it was too dark to see. They each took out their phones and turned on the flashlight setting.

"So...what's the initiation guys?"

"You'll see." Sean said after.

They lead me over to what looked like a big metal dome. It was demolished and I had no idea what it was. I had never seen anything like it before.

"What is it?"

"What is it? What do you think? It's freaking UFO man." Tyson blurted out. He came across very stern and strong. I knew he was their self appointed leader.

"The guys and I found this a few days ago...Who knows when it crashed landed...the point is all the crew on the inside are dead."

"Dead?"

"You deaf Tennyson, yeah dead. They must have died on impact..."

"So what do you want me to do with it?"

"Aren't you curious as to how we've been able to play so well on the field." Adrian asked.

"And how fast?" Bentley questioned after.

"We've really won a lot since last week...you guys have really bulked up...you're just good at practice and at the game." I replied.

Tyson put his arm around me.

"That might be Tennyson, but me and the boys here...we want to be great at the game without all that practice stuff...we want to do more than just rule the school...we want to be powerful, know what I mean?"

"I think so."

"You better know so; because we think you want the same as us."

He snapped his fingers. The other guys unzipped their jackets. They had some sort of suit on underneath.

"We each took one of the suits off one of the aliens in there...there were five of them...just like now there's the five of us...we want you to wear the 5th suit."

"What will happen if I do?"

"Put it on and find out."

Tyson smirked at me. Adrian fist bumped Sean. Bentley folded his arms.

"Come on... you want to be our brother don't you?"

"Of course I do but-"

"One more thing." Tyson blurted out. He then took out a switch blade from his pocket. I gulped when I heard the click. He grabbed my hand and pulled my wrist toward him.

"Hey! What are you- ahh!"

He slit my the center of my hand.

"We're not just brother's we're blood brothers Tennyson." Tyson explained.

They each held up their hands. I saw a scar on each of their palms.

"Whatever it is through sweat, tears, or even blood we're there for each other." Tyson then cut his on hand. He cut in the same place the scar was healing. I watched the other guys take out their own switch blades and recut themselves. Tyson grabbed my injured hand tightly. I grunted. Whereas to the guys it's was like they couldn't even feel pain.

We all clasped hands in a circle. The blood in my hand mixed with Tyson's.

"He today that sheds and shares his blood with me shall be my brother from this today forward." They chanted.

I could feel the blood running between my fingers.

"And we brothers make this oath. One that can never be broken. We will always keep our brothers back and are sworn to secrecy."

We unclasped hands. I watched as if like magic their blood vanished and their cuts healed up. I gasped.

"It's the suits Justice...you're now officially a blood brother but if you really want in our group, you'll go in there and put on the last suit...then the real fun begins." Tyson remarked with a smirk.

I nodded slowly and entered the ship. It was made of some sort of metal alloy that was almost smooth in texture. It had several broken switches along the wall. Deep inside its hull was an undergrowth of weeds and grass. It had been there a while. Sitting up right in a chair was a tall alien creature. It looked to be half dinosaur and half fish. I saw the others. They were naked and stripped of their uniforms. I looked back at the clothed deceased alien. He had on a black suit. Whereas Tyson had on a red suit. Adrien had on an orange suit. Sean had on a blue suit and Bentley had on a green suit. I wasn't sure what the colors meant. I didn't know if it was for rank or just to tell one alien from another. I really didn't know what was so special about this suit.

I slowly took it off the alien. I then took off my jacket and began to strip myself. I put the suit on as they said. The very moment it touched my skin I felt my entire body relax. My cut miraculously healed. The hairs on my arms stood up. I had chillbumps. I then felt a strength building of energy. I had a new found strength I didn't know I had. It was enhancing both my physical and emotional energies. My mind felt open to vast knowledge. Once the suit was on I felt a shockwave tingle my entire being. There was no pain. It was just pleasurable. It was unlike anything I had ever felt before. It was even better than masturbation. I smiled and stepped outside.

"I like it." I said with a smile. They cheered for me. I put my other clothes back on, on top of the suit. I was overcome with power. My brain went mad. I wanted to do tons of things I had never done before.

The guys and I went out for a late bite to eat. We entered a pub even though we weren't old enough. Nothing could stop us. Our strength was outmatched. It wasn't human, but of course it wasn't. It was some sort of alien tech in the suit. It drove us to drink. It then drove us to see how many tables we could pick up over our heads. The confidence it gave us was unreal. We were agile and free.

Tyson was right. At this rate we could do anything we wanted. Finding alien tech was mom and dad's thing. I should have told them about it from day one but I couldn't. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I was too caught up in it to stop. The power felt too good to give up.
