My Six Mates

MSS: The Presence Of Evil

Skaitra's POV
We all sat at the dinner table later that evening, my mates were keeping close to me as possible ever since I told them about my dream. Leon, especially have been watching a Drake, marking and noting every slight change in him, even down to the type of clothes he has been starting to wear. Even though it may be a bit much but Drake has given us all the reasons to suspect him of evil doing, but to think of it wanting to put your own family and pack in danger, it is not the best way to be thought of.

The Mother Leader sat at the center of the table, Drake sat at the end near her and Leon infront of him on the other side. Chayce and Sean sat next to Drake, while JaCole and Jacob sat next to me, with Jacob being the farthest away. The  tension in the air was thick and heavy, it was a suffocating atmosphere and everyone was stuck in their own world.
Every now and then, someone would tap their fingers on the table, or you would hear a fork clink on the plate  when someone put it down, it was awkward. It was making me a little anxious, specialy when I felt Drakes's eyes on me ever so often. He would tilt his head to the side and glare at me from the corner of his grey swirling eyes. The look was deadly, it was assuming, it was dangerous. Drake has been on my tail since I got to this place. His efforts have not been very welcoming and he has proven time and time again that he is not to be trusted.

A part of me feels guilty because I feel that whatever is about to happen is going to more than likely break up his family and I would likely to be blamed. But the more logical side of my brain thinks this will all be Drake's doing because whatever he is planning is definitely going to be death of us.

Not me though, that most I can tell you.

I take up my champagne glass and emptied out the rest of its contents and set my glass down, letting the warm, golden liquid clear my head as I catch Drake glaring at me again. This time though I glare back letting my medallion-like eyes bore into his, he smirks and the swilrs in his eyes fade away. The whole table watches this little interaction with amsuement, except The Mother Leader who held a stoic expression while continuing to eat and Leon, who scoffs at Drake and moves to stand. Everyone watches as he does, he pushed back ihs cahir and walked away in silence. The atmosphere grew awkward again. 

Drake got up seconds later and went in the same direction as Leon and as soon as he does Chayce, Sean, Jacob and JaCole followed after them and I was left alone with The Mother Leader. Immediately I began to feel uncomfortable, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I felt a harsh chill sweep over my body, I shivered a little. Still, I could not to turn my head to face her, my entire body felt stiff. My eyes wandered around the area, looking for nothing in particular but a silver tray caught my attention. I don't know why but the surface of the tray was shiny, I smiled a little at my reflection. I also noticed a pair of glowing red eyes looking back at me and my body grew cold again. The room got darker and I could swear on my life, the temperature dropped like 20 degrees. I still could not move my neck no matter how much I strained to, it was like soemthing was forcing it to the side.

'Or trying to break it.' I heard Lani state.

'WHAT?!!' 

'Skaitra, The Mother Leader is trying to snap your neck.' She said again.

My eyes widened in fear and my vision became a little blurry. The force on my neck became stronger and panic started when I felt my neck being twisted a little more. From my view, the red eyes glowed and became bigger and I felt my airways closing up. The room became darker and colder, my neck was seconds away from being snapped, I closed my eyes and gripped the end of my dress.

'Remember who you are....' A voice rang into my head. 'You will not succumb to any form of evil.'

Tears slipped from my eyes. Lani crying out in anger. My blood started to boil and I gathered all the strength I had to force my neck around. I gripped the table and let my anger flow through me and fought against the force. My eyes glowed and focused on the red eyes that was fading, I smirked and broke through the hold and forced my neck to turn the other way. It did not surprise me to see the bitch had disappeared, the lights were back and the room was normal again. I breathed out and tried to relax.

'Relax?! You almost had your neck snapped in half!'

'Yeah, what does it look like I'm trying to do?!'

I laid my head on the table and groaned feeling a headache coming. 

"Skaitra." I heard Leon's voice say. I sighed in relief. 

I stood up and turned to face him, he took a slight step back when he saw how much of a mess I was.

I looked past him. "Seems like I have to be alot more careful in and around this house from now on."

I stepped away from him. He gave me a confused look. "What do you mean?"

I turned my back on him, nosrils flaring in anger. 

"I do not think its that bad." He says.

I turn to face him again and scoffed. "Not bad except when they try to kill you in the kitchen."

The look on his face said it all and this time I was able to walk away.

Looks like another bitch has been added to my kill list.
