Pack Mentality: A SkinWalkers Tale

Chapter 6

Jade walked around her class looking at the students as they took their test on acting. She looked over to Ruth who was working on her test paying no mind to anything else around her. She walked over to her desk and sat down her mind was racing it was the full moon and her and Tori were going to go and look for the pack of Skin Walkers. She hadn't noticed Sikowitz slip into the classroom through the window. He walked over to her and looked at her as she seemed to stare off into space.

"Jade" he said making her look up at him.

"Hey Sikowitz what can I do for you?" she asked looking at him.

"Oh nothing just thought I'd stop in for a bit and see how you were doing" he said with a smile as he sipped on a coconut.

"You know they sell bottles of coconut water and milk at the store right?" she asked looking at him.

"Oh yes I know" he replied as he took another sip of the coconut. "I like it better straight from the coconut it gives me visions."

"Vision, just one and it was when you let Trina into the school" she stated as she looked at him.

"Ah yes, Trina Vega...annoying, bitchy, and a pain in the ass, god I miss her, and her roman outfit" he said as the bell rung signifying the end of the day.

The students handed their test to Jade who took them but still didn't leave the desk. She looked as Sikowitz left leaving her to the room herself. She looked down at the test papers in front of her and began to go over them. She looked the test over grading them based on what they had done. When she was finished she placed the papers into her desk and locked it up. She then left the room only stopping long enough to lock the door. She hefted her bag onto her shoulder and started through the halls. She walked outside to her Mustang and looked at it. She stopped when she saw what looked like a parking ticket in the wiper blades. She let out an irritated sigh as she grabbed the piece of paper. The back of it was blank and so she turned it over. When she did she gasped loudly and looked at the paper. On the paper was a symbol she knew all to well. It was the symbol of the Vipers. She looked around frantically but saw no one around and so she quickly jumped into her car.

She peeled out of the parking lot of the school and sped home. Her mind was racing, the Vipers had returned and does that mean they got to Tori and the children? She looked at their house as she pulled in to see the children playing outside and Tori sitting on the porch reading a book. She parked the car and shut it off as soon as she climbed out she ran forward and up to Tori. Before she could react Jade threw her arms around Tori and pulled her close into a tight and loving hug.

"Jade *cough, cough* what is it?" Tori managed to cough out as she looked at Jade.

"They're back" Jade simply answered as she stroked Tori's cheek.

"Who's back?" Tori asked confused as Jade pulled out a piece of paper.

Jade looked at the paper and then to the children as they frolicked through the yard. Slowly she looked back to Tori and placed the paper into her hands. She looked as Tori looked at the paper and she gasped a bit as the book fell from her hands. Slowly her eyes drifted up to Jades who was looking at her. "The Vipers Tori, that's who's back."

Andrew looked out across the ocean from the roof of the warehouse he and the pack was in. They had found an abandoned one that they could use as their staging place. They could hide there for years and never be found if they kept a low profile. He looked up at the moon in the daylight and smiled because it was full. This night they were going to go and search for the fellow two Skin Walkers whom he had a fight with. The fight was just a test to see how well they could handle themselves. He knew they would do good after all they killed the last Lycanthroat as well as most of the Vipers.
