Chapter 2: You Knew!
When Rory got back to her dorm she walked into her room and noticed there was a manila envelope on her window, which said 'RORY' on the front in black capital letters. Rory opened the window and untapped the enveloped from the outside, she closed the window and walked across the room to sit at her desk. She opened it up and read the letter inside, it said.
'Ms. Gilmore-Hayden
Be outside your room at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon.
Wear the blindfold provided for you. Please don't be late.
-LBD'
Rory reached into the envelope and pulled out a black blindfold that was it that's all that was in there. "They can be serious," she said out lout to herself.
'Well this should be interesting' she thought to herself as she quickly changed and then got ready to go to sleep after a long day, and she had a feeling tomorrow was going to be even longer.
Rory woke up the next morning to the sound of her alarm clock going off. 'Quack quack' "no gmo arwaay" she mumbled into her pillow as her arm flailed around trying to find the alarm clock and shut it off. "Stupid quacking animal alarm clock that mom gave me" she grumbled and looked over at it the clock that read 10:30 when she finally found the thing on the night stand that had woken her up from her peaceful sleep she just pushed it off.
As Rory was getting out of bed she remembered the LBD letter had said to be outside and ready at 4:00 PM wearing the blindfold that was provided for her. 'Ahhh great it's wonderful being me' she thought sarcastically. She went out to the common room and started the coffee maker, making a very strong pot of coffee.
A few hours later Rory was getting ready for the LBD event. "I can't believe dad never told me about this." She said out loud to herself. She knew things would probably go differently now that they knew she was a Hayden. She thought back to the look on Logan's face when she walked into her dads living room and chuckled while she finished getting ready she pondered, what was going to happen what these people did and just basically the reporter in her was working over time.
Rory took out her phone to call her mom whom she felt like she hadn't talked to in days.
'Ring ring ring'
"House of Lorelai's how can I be of assistance today?" her mom answered the phone
Rory laughed "Hey mom."
"Hey Hun what's up?"
"I just wanted to let you know you might or might not be able to get in touch with me for the next day or two." Rory said
"Why sweets?" Lorelai asked concern evident in her voice
"I'm going to this Yale group secret society thing and I don't know how long it's going to be or if I'll have cell reception and what not."
"Is this perhaps an LBD type outing?" she knew that would get her daughter riled up
"Are you kidding me you knew too, and dad knew? How come I didn't know? I'm the one that goes to Yale. I mean seriously everyone else in my family seems to know all about this but you don't tell me… I thought we told each other everything…" Rory ranted, she definitely didn't like to be kept out of the loop on things
Lorelai laughed on the other end of the phone "Honey calm down, we figured you'd get invited to this shindig eventually, people just had to figure out you were a Hayden first, we didn't want to be the ones to tell you about it."
Rory sighed "Alright, I got to go and get ready I'll talk to you as soon as I can, I love you bye."
"Bye sweets." Lorelai said and hung up
Rory hung up her phone after ending the call with her mother and went to take a shower.
It was now 3:55 and Rory was making her way to the hallway in front of her room to wait. She slipped the blindfold over her eyes at 3:59 and could feel people giving her questioning looks. She felt Logan's presence and knew he was there. He grabbed her arm and said "Ready Ace?" as he started pulling her toward the parking lot.
She gotten into the car Logan led her to and slid down the seat.
"Is the blindfold secure?" she heard Colin ask.
"Secure and in place" Logan answered him.
They were in the car for quite a while before they stopped. Finn got out yelling and Steph went after him. Logan helped her out of the car and pulled the blindfold off her head.
"We're in the woods." Rory said dryly
Logan let out a throaty laugh that shot sparks up her spine "Very observant Ace."
Rory shot him a glare "Okay the rules of the game have changed a little bit since the whole she's a Hayden thing, we want to invite you to be inducted at this gathering." He sad looking her straight in the eyes.
"What does that mean?" she asked getting a little worried
"Well you would have to perform the stunt tomorrow after that we would have your induction ceremony and tonight your sponsor would tell you all about the brigade its lineage and history, the main founders, what we do and so on..." He explained to her.
Rory looked skeptical at first but then said "Okay."
"Okay you'll join okay?" Logan questioned and she just nodded her head "Well then okay, umm… well I'm your sponsor, so lets go up to your tent and I'll tell you all about it." He grabbed her hand and led her down the path trying to ignore the spark he felt when he grabbed her hand.
He led her to a clearing that was filled with nice cloth tents and tables and chairs set up everywhere with candles on top of them for lighting.
"Oh My…" Rory gasped, although she shouldn't have expected anything less this was the Hartford elite they were talking about here.
Logan led her to one of the tents and opened the flap on the front "This ones yours, it's not very big but the view is decent." He grinned
"It's cozy." she said walking in and sitting down on the cot Logan followed her in and sat down next to her.
"The LBD originally was founded by the current students by the names of Morgan, McCray, Gilmore, Hayden, Vanderbilt, Dugrey and Huntzberger…" he jumped right into the story and told her all about its history and the founders of the group. He explained what the group was about and since she already knew there motto he didn't need to tell her that.
"… They wanted to leave a legacy behind, and so they created the Life and Death Brigade… they wanted there children and children's, children to have that legacy when they got here, and that's about it" he finished his tale of the group that spanned back ages.
"Wow… that was quite a story." She smiled at him
"So ace are you sure you want to do this because it's not to late to back out, you know." He said, he didn't want to push her into something she didn't want to do even if she was a founding legacy.
Rory looked up at him and smirked "In Omnia Paratus." She said.
Logan laughed and replied "I think you'll fit right in ace." He got up and stretched "Well you better get some sleep, big day tomorrow, night ace."
"Night Logan" and with that he left.
Rory laid down and sighed there was no way she was going to fall for Logan Huntzberger playboy extraordinaire, she couldn't he didn't do commitment and she needed it, it would never work out. Right?
At the same time Logan was walking to his tent thinking, I cant be falling for ace, she's a committed type of girl and I have never been in a real relationship before, it would just end in heartache and I can't do that to her, besides she doesn't like me like that. Right?
