Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Ava's POV

I paced the room in perplexity wondering what was going on with Dahviel. He wasn't like this and he sure doesn't tell lies about his sister.

Skye and I had returned back to our bedroom after making sure Dahviel was asleep.

Skye watched me pace around without a word and then finally unable to take it anymore,he broke the silence. "What is it, Ava? Are you still worried about what Dahviel said?" He asked me.

I nodded. "Dahviel cannot just come up with a story that his sister was holding a knife." I said to him.

"Does that really say anything?" He asked.

I stopped pacing. "Of course it does Skye. Did you not see how terrified he was?" I said to him.

He stared at the wall. "What point are you trying to make then?" He asked.

"Either something is wrong with Davina or Dahviel himself." I said.

He stood to his feet. "Natasha did send thugs to abduct them remember? Dahviel might be suffering from the impact of the incident." He said.

I sighed. "You think so?" I asked him. He held me,giving me comfort. "I know so. He might not have had the fear then but maybe seeing his sister hold a knife must have brought back the memory." He said.

I placed my head on his chest. "I hope you're right." I said in worry.

Dahviel's POV

I opened my eyes as I felt the covers being taken away from my body slowly.

Just then,Davina stood in front of me with those eyes that frightened me again. "Do you want to play?" She asked sweetly.

"No," I shook my head trembling. "I do not want to play Davina." I said in fear.

"Oh Davie, you must play. You must play with me tonight." She said and stretched out her hands towards me. She grabbed my neck and she had the strength of many people in her little hands. I managed to scream.

Skye's POV

The scream came again. This time not as loud as before and Ava and I hastened to his room.

He was visibly shaking on his bed. "Dahviel,my dear,what happened uh? Tell me." Ava urged him as she rushed to his bed checking all parts of his body.

"Tell us Dahviel. What happened?" I asked him, holding his hand. Tears slipped from his eyes.

"Davina." He said sobbing hard. "She came here..with her hands stretched scaring me." He managed to say amidst tears.

Ava and I looked over at Davina's bed. There she was sleeping soundly.

Maybe Ava was right. Was something wrong with Dahviel? I still did believe he was traumatized by the kidnapping he faced.

"Now,now son. Your sister is sleeping. How can she scare you?" I asked him.

"I don't want to sleep here. I want to go away from here." He said still crying.

"Alright. You'll sleep in our bedroom tonight so stop crying." Ava said and he nodded sniffing.

I took him into my arms and he immediately buried his head on my chest.

We got back to the room and laid down,Dahviel laying in between us. What was wrong with the twins?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning at breakfast,Dahviel shrinked away from his sister. She stared at him in surprise. Her little brother was running away from her.

Robin hit the cutlery together to get everyone's attention.

"Now that I have everyone of you attention, I have an important announcement." He said with a smile as everyone paid rapt attention.

"Camila and I have decided to get married." He said and the screams of joy that followed were deafening. Ava left her seat and gave Camila a big hug and Anna did the same.

Congratulations filled everywhere.

I relaxed in my seat and waited for it all to die down. "Finally obeyed my orders of five years ago I see." I said teasingly.

He chuckled and shook his head. "No alpha. I finally decided to do what my heart has always told me." He said.

I smiled at them both. "Congratulations." I said.

"Thank you." They both unisoned with smiles on their faces.

"Have you perhaps picked a wedding date yet?" Ava asked.

"We're working on it. We do not know when but it will be this fall." Camila said and Terra nodded smiling and congratulating her again.

"Why don't we celebrate this later this evening?" Anna suggested and I nodded in agreement.

"That's a good suggestion Anna. Let's celebrate the newest couples in the whole of Glasgow." I said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ria." I called out and she walked out of the kitchen. "Inform everyone that there shall be a feast tonight for Robin and Camila'sdecision to finally tie the knot and let the preparation begin." I said to her and she nodded with a smile and walked away.

"Tonight,we shall be full of joy and..." I began but was cut short the dungeon guard towards the dinning hall.

"Alpha," he said breathlessly.

"Speak." I said to him.

"Come at once alpha. Natasha has hanged herself in the cell room." He said and everyone had a little shock on their faces.

"Let's go." I said to him and Robin, Ava, Camila and Anna followed behind.

Truly to behold,on getting to the cell room,Natasha dangled in mid air. A rope around her neck. Her eyes popped out. She'd rather commit suicide than let the elders of council condemn her and then kill her.

"I told her someday she'd regret her actions." Robin said.

"End of evil I say." Anna said.

I still had a bit of sympathy for her. She was my companion for twenty years despite all her atrocities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you okay?" Ava asked me. I was standing at the balcony of the pack house and I nodded.

"I still feel somewhat sorry for her." I said.

She relaxed herself on my back. Her arms encircling me. "I did too when I slayed Fernandez. That makes us human Skye,not the cold heartless people they were." She said and I sighed. She was right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natasha was laid on a floating plank covered in white and I spoke before the pack gathered.

"Natasha is being buried like this because she's a traitor and an enemy of this pack. She shall be set ablaze on lake and her ashes scattered without a place of rest. This is what is done to traitors. This is the tradition ." I said holding a torch lit with fire. Everyone agreed to it. That was the punishment of traitors in the pack.

Just then,the wind blew the cover off her face to her shoulder. I bent over to lit her with the fire when Ava stopped me.

"This tattoo," she said lowering on her knees close to Natasha and observing her neck. "This tattoo Skye, do have a look." She said and I lowered myself to Natasha.

I was shocked by what I saw. "It's a mark of the serpent." I said.

"Belonging to the demon king." Ava said and I immediately sensed her anxiety.

"I noticed a tattoo on her neck but I never knew it was a mark of the serpent." Robin said equally shocked.

Ava covered Natasha's face. "He was manipulating her but how? He's dead." She said.

I lit Natasha up and the flames licked on her clothes. The rest of the pack members pushed the plank into the lake and it sailed away. Burning.

Ava's POV

I became more worried than before. Was he also manipulating Fernandez? I wondered. No. I do not see a mark of the serpent on him.

But how was this possible? How did Natasha get the mark? Was Clark not dead? Different thoughts spread through my mind like wildfire.

We walked back to the pack house. "Let this event not ruin our plans for tonight." Skye said the moment we stepped in.

"But we cannot ignore what we saw and the fact that Anna saw Fernandez feeding on a crescent. I'm not very comfortable with these facts Skye." I said to him.

"She's right Skye. We cannot play ignorant to this. Remember Michaelis came with a complain of dead animals in the forest?" Robin said and Skye nodded. "What if all these is linked?" He asked.

"We shall sit and review on this tomorrow but tonight,I won't let it be ruined for you. Finally we're about to have happy moments,let's not ruin it with talks of enemies." He said and looking it from an angle, he had a point.

We all agreed the celebration shall still take place.

The pack house had already been arranged for the celebration. There were lots of dishes in trays on the table. Ranging from grilled salmon,rice and peas,grits and gravy,grilled turkey and others. Even pastries had been made too.

"You look lovely tonight." Skye whispered in my ears. I turned around and found him with an irresistible grin on his face.

"Why,thank you. You look irresistible." I said with a smile.

He stood beside me and placed a kiss on my cheek. He gestured towards Robin and Camila who were smiling and receiving lots of congratulations.

"Look how happy they are." He said and I nodded in agreement.

"They are a match made in heaven." I said smiling.

He hugged me close to his side. "So are we my love. So are we." He said. I smiled at her.

I looked back to the crowd and noticed Davina had slipped from Luna's watchful eye and was heading up the stairs. Dahviel was upstairs in the bedroom Skye and I shared.

"May I be excused love? I'll be back shortly." I said to him. He gave me a puzzled look and then nodded.

I walked out of his arms and up the stairs. I saw Davina walking down the hall and into the bedroom. I slowly crept along the hallway to avoid being caught by her. Who would have known,one day I'll be creeping around my daughter.

The door was slightly opened. She did not close it properly. I looked through the door and saw her flashing a knife in front of an already awake and terrified Dahviel.

"I'll make sure I end you before anyone comes up." She said in a voice I didn't recognize as my daughter. She placed a finger on her lips and raised the knife high.

Terrified,I barged in before she could kill her own brother. The knife fell from her hand as she stared at me in shock. A look that shouldn't be on a young girl's face. I didn't miss the flash of red in her eyes before it returned normal. Could my daughter be possessed?
