Vampire 5th edition pre-alpha

Oh god I'm so scared I can't think straight. What have they done to us? Why can't I move? Who are these guys anyway and what do they want with these people? What do they want with us? All these chains, weapons, are they fighting? Are they making them fi- OH GOD THEY KILLED JAKUB!

„Jorga. Jorga wait! Nico!“ Only after Jakub called her by her nickname she noticed him.
The practice was over, and he didn't feel like letting her carry all the stuff by herself. „Come on I'll give you a ride. Later we're going for a drink with the gang, nothing major. Wanna come?“
She gave him one of her bright smiles. So disarming it almost made his knees tremble. „Nah, I gotta study. But thanks.“ Jakub couldn't help but feel disappointed. Jorga actually had plans of her own, but they did not include him. „Let's go get the car then. Do you want to stay
for a cuppa so you won't leave empty handed?“

This could have been a different encounter if they haven't gotten into the crosshairs
of shady looking men lurking in the shadows nearby. „Yeah, these two will do.“ A sentence that changed their world.

Suddenly the pain from my chest is gone and I'm lifted on my feet. A wild looking man
with hands covered in scars and tatoos is roughly pulling the chain around my neck. „Your turn, sweetheart,“ he growls.
I'm trembling, but I can move. „What do you want? Where are you taking me?“
„You'll know soon enough,“ he grins. There something inhuman, evil about him. He's draging me towards a circle in the middle of the room. Is that blood?
My chain is tied to a pole, I feel like an animal before the slaughter. They're bringing someone else to the pole. He's holding a polished sword. „What's going on?“
„Shut up.“ Another one of those men starts speaking. „It's come time for you to prove yourself to us, David.“ Who's David? „Do as you're supposed to and you will join our ranks. And you girl,“ he looks at me and scoffs. „Just stand still and it'll be over soon.“
„She gets a weapon.“
„The fuck you care?! It's a formality!“
„She gets a weapon.“ The wild one insists.
„Fuck!“ The angry one pulls an old sword out of a rack and throws it to my feet. „This is
the only thing you'll ever get from me,“ he says between his teeth.
That David screams and attacks me. I scream in fear. He's hacking at me fiercely, he's strong, he's fast, the chain makes it impossible to run away. I'm bleeding so much I'm amazed I'm still alive... It doesn't take long and I'm on the ground and he managed to stomp on my weapon. 'David' is raising his arm to deliver the final blow. As I'm trying to yank the sword from under his foot, the blade breaks.
Then it gets weird. It seems the time slows down and I watch the scene outside of my body, impartial. I hear screaming. I think it's mine. I watch me swing the stump upwards with so much power as never before. The enemy falls.
I'm sucked back into my body, looking down at my opponents torn torso. What just happened? Oh god what have I done?
„What the fuck.“
„Looks like your protege did not make it,“ teases the wild one.
„No fucking way. I tear that fucking bitch into pieces!“ yells at me the angry one. I raise
the broken sword in my shaking hands, scared out of my mind.
„You know the rules. She's one of us now.“ Before I turn around to face the croaky voice, something heavy hits my head and everything goes dark.

„Jakub, do you have more booze somewhere?“ He was preparing some apetizers as the party was reaching it's peak. Everybody  was getting drunk, except him. He was an excellent host, though he more often than not forgets to have fun.
„Yeah sure, there's more in the cellar outside.“
Jorga looked at him with a straight face: „If I find out you're lying, I'll come back and kill you in your own kitchen.“
That made him chuckle. „Oh, wow, you're such a badass, Nico.“ The nickname was born. She left the kitchen laughing. He's a good company, she thought.

She came to her senses on some sort of a gathering.*

The secret would be that he starts to see Sabbat high ups as oppressive authority...
