Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Chaos Rising Pt 2

THIRD PERSON POV

At Catalaya's command the sins got to work on eradicating the hybrid pack starting with the group that so blatantly casted judgement upon them. They each grabbed themselves an elder using their powers granted by their sins to torture the pompous old bats, teaching them a lesson they learnt too late.

The crowd that the elders had gathered stood by looking on in horror. Its not that they were too stupid to run, they tried to, they just couldn't. The consuming fear spreading through their bodies froze them to the places they stood forcing them to watch the powerful men and women that had rallied them, get slaughtered one by one. The people watched on as the knowledge and power that the elders prided themselves on was rendered useless against the sins. It couldn't be possible. Apart from the leaders, the elders were the most powerful of the hybrid pack so the people couldn't understand how they were so easily defeated by teenagers.

The sins quickly finished the elders off then turned their sights on the so called 'army'. Some managed to snap out of their fear stricken state and ran while others attempted to fight back. Nevertheless they all received the deaths they deserved. The kids and their parents watched as the sins quickly rid the earth of the scum who had dared to summon them into battle but they soon started to worry when said sins instead of ending their onslaught of attacks only made their way towards the other pack members who had also been watching in fear.

"What are they doing?" Adam asked no one in particular

"Their doing what they were commanded to do" Sylvia answered

"But the elders and all who stood with them are dead" Evangeline points out

"Not because they hadn't confronted us doesn't mean they don't stand against us maybe their just too afraid to do so"

"We need to stop them or they'll destroy the entire pack" Cole says

"This is not a pack anymore incase you all haven't noticed Gabriel already destroyed it by sowing seeds of hatred and discord in the hearts of everyone here" Sylvia told him

"That may be true but still it is our responsibility to correct them on their mistakes, besides they are still in training i think some may be able to save" Cole argued

"They are still in training and yet on their first day back two of them disobeyed direct orders while others revelled because we punished them for their cruelty to a fellow pack member. But fine I'll help you save them. However, when this war starts and they turn against us which they will, i will not hesitate to kill them myself" Sylvia warned

"Agreed" Cole replies

"And how exactly do you guys plan on stopping them?" Alana asks

"We'll just have to use our powers and subdue them" Aiden answers

"It won't be that easy dad the sins are way more powerful than they look" Freya warns

"Well be fine" Aiden assures before he and the others shifted except renae who was cloaked in armour

"Mom don't tell me your going too" Merlin says seeing his mother gearing up

"Of course i am" Renae responds in her state of the art military grade combat suit laced with offensive and defensive magic

Before Merlin could get another word out his mother was gone along with the other parents. The seven adults soon found themselves facing the five sins and in their attempt to protect the remaining pack members an all out battle began.

"Why are you guys killing these people?" Cole asks

"Because they dared to harm the princess or stood by and watch whilst she was being ill-treated " Liam answers

"We know what they did was wrong but this isn't the answer" Aiden tried to reason

"They will all die" Lucy seethes

Before the fight could go on any further lucy quickly casted a spell teleporting their mate's parents somewhere else, before Sylvia could counter cast and stop her.

Seeing their parents being spirited away the teens knew it was up to them to get their mates under control

"Guys i have an idea. Merlin Freya and Harley lure them over here and Aquarius you wait until they've got them close enough you trap them in a barrier, the strongest one you can create" Alana says

"And what are you gonna do? You have that I've got a plan look" Merlin asks

"I'm gonna go after Cat and see if i can get her to make the sins stop. She ordered them to do all this so she must be able to make them stop"

"Ok great plan but how will we get the sins all the way over here?" Aquarius questions

"I don't know use the pack members as bait or something" Alana shrugged

"That's such a cruel strategy i love it!" Harley squeals

"Ok i'll be back as soon as i can" Alana tells them before releasing her majestic white wins taking to the sky

Merlin, Freya and Harlequin quickly teleported to the sins location like their parents had done earlier but instead of attacking they went on the defense leading the pack members away from the sins wrath which in turn resulted in the sins chasing them. When they got close enough Aquarius casted sea dragon's cradle, a water barrier used to keep the sins away from their prey.

"Aqua let us out now" Eric yells

"No, you guys already carried out your orders" aquarius yells back

"We don't care they all deserve to die not just for today's disrespect to the princess but for all the years of torture they put her through" Jace spat

"We know how you guys feel but this has to stop" harley pleaded

"Why are they so angry anyways?" Merlin asks

"It's their suppressed anger surfacing. Not only the anger they felt at the disrespect Cat was shown today by Noah and the others but also the anger they suppressed knowing what Cat had been through all these years and they couldn't do anything about it" Aquarius tells him

"Exactly that's why you need to let us out!" Brooke yells sending a powerful hit to the barrier which immediately weakened

Guys i don't think the barrier is gonna hold much longer" Aquarius yells

"What are we gonna do they're all out of control and we're not strong enough to hold them" Harley says

"Where'd Lana go?" Lucy questions still trying to break the barrier

"Yeah she'll talk sone sense into you guys" Liam added

"She went after Cat and Jasmine" Freya answers while applying pressure to the wound in her side

"Why aren't you healing?" Harley ask looking at freya's open wound that is still bleeding

"B-beacause that bitch coated the knife with nightshade" she manages to get out

"Wait that's a real thing? I thought nightshade poisoning vampires was a myth" Merlin says

"No its not, just a well guarded secret. In fact it can even kill some of the lower level vamps depending on the amount but since I'm from the original bloodline it can't kill me and i haven't fully worked up my resistance to it yet so in about a minute or so I'm gonna be paralyzed from the neck down" freya tells them

"What! Im gonna kill that bitch!" Jace seethes hearing what his mate said

"And if she's already dead?" Eric asks

"I'll send her soul over to you so you can torture her" brooke told Jace

"Isn't there like something we can do to stop the bleeding" Aquarius asks Freya

"There's no need I'm already doing something, i stuck my claws in my leg releasing my own venom into my body, it'll take sometime but it'll fight the toxin out of my body. You guys need to get those five under control"

"We can't, Cat is their leader and none of us aren't mated as yet so there isn't much we can do to stop them. So as long as she's on a war path her command over them stands" Harley tells her

"Alright guys here's what were gonna do, Merlin you come help me strengthen the barrier by adding a lightening field to it. Harley try and get in touch with Sam again or Adonis, Andreas or Dominic. Anyone, just try until you get a message out to salt springs. Half of the hybrid pack has already been damaged i don't think these people can take much more, i had no freaking idea the sins were this powerful if they weren't our friends we'd all be dead by now"Aquarius says

"Ok good idea, what do i do?" Freya asks

"You need to focus on getting that poison out your system" she answered

Taking a calming breath Aquarius channelled the powers of the sea through her before focusing it in the palm of her hands and pushing it out as the barrier strengthens. Merlin raised his hand to the sky that was filled with pitch black clouds, electricity flickered in his eyes as he brought his hands down followed by a huge bold of lightening that circled the barrier, both of them hoping that will be able to hold the Sins until reinforcements arrive.

MEANWHILE.........

Catalaya flew at high speed as she followed Jasmine's almost invisible aura that is hidden by the witch elders cloak. She could have caught up with the girl a long time ago but she wanted to give her false hope of escaping so she could enjoy the look on jasmine's face as that hope is crushed. Also Cat was enjoying the chase, if the sinister grin on her face was anything to go by. Jasmine who had shifted to her wolf form some time ago raised her head looking above her to see Cat closing in. She didn't understand why she couldn't shake Cat, after all she was completely invisible both in body and aura or so she thought.

A few more miles into the chase Cat got bored and decided to end it. Her blood boiled with anger at what that bitch had done to elder Norris. Cat had already known elder Norris would die. On her first night back she had a confusing dream which she consulted her father about. He in turn helped her see the dream more clearer and that's when Cat realized what the dream was about. At her visit to elder Norris's cabin she told her about the dream assuring her she'd protect her but the stubborn woman was having none of it. She told Catalaya that she too had known of her own demise for months and had made peace with it for now that she knows that Cat is safe she could die happily and meet her son and husband in the afterlife.

What Catalya was not expecting however, is that Jasmine would be the one to take Veronica Norris's life or that the woman would be murdered so publicly for in the dream Veronica had died in her home. That turn of events angered her to no end because once again Jasmine had manage to take something important form her unexpectedly, and no she does not mean Noah.

Cat closed her eyes as she paused her chase, she then opened them her eyes now blood red. Power flowed through her body as she stretched her hands out taking control of Jasmine's. The sprinting wolf stopped running abruptly against its will as Cat descended to the ground in front of it. With a flick of the wrist Cat forced Jasmine into a painful shift reverting her to her human form as well as ripping apart the cloak she hid beneath. Jasmine fell limp to the ground  from the change. Cat rolled her eyes at her pathetic state. Cat brought her hands up and Jasmine's body lifted off the ground, with a twist if Cat's arm jasmine's neck tilting backwards and her eyes rolling to the back of her head making her look lifeless. The veins in her body bulged underneath her skin as her blood turned to mold. Cat brought her eyes to jasmine's mouth which immediately fell open. Not because she was amazed but because i was suddenly dislocated.

Looking at Jasmine the image of her piercing that dagger into elder Norris's heart flashed through Cat's mind coupled with every bad thing the girl had ever done to her. The thought sent Cat crazy and she snapped. All that rage came out as fast as magma and just as destructive, consuming her. She lowered her hand which caused jasmine's body to touch the ground, standing above her Cat decided her rage wouldn't be pleased attacking her with her powers and decided to do it the old fashion way, with her fists, and so she began the onslaught of attacks on Jasmine as she punched and kicked her repeatedly, the girl's pleads only encouraging her to go on.

Taking a step back Cat looks at her handy work to see blood flowing from every inch of Jasmine's face

"Maybe i should stop her heart" Cat thinks to herself

"Nah not yet"

Cat once again took control of Jasmine's body. Moving her hand in a grab motion jasmine's neck turned purple her veins becoming visible and pounding against her flesh. Her low whimpers fueled Cat as she clenched her fists, the purple marks spread through jasmine's body like a disease. Jasmine shriveled before her but Cat kept on going, it amazed her how brave and bold jasmine was before when she had back up but now she is powerless, literally. She chuckled unclenching her fist deciding not to kill her, yet. Oxygen entered jasmine's body as the marks disappeared as fast as they came. Jasmine clutched her stomach coughing, trying to take air into her lungs. Thick red blood shot out of her mouth the harder she coughed.

"Jasmine Jasmine Jasmine" Cat tsks

"Did i not warn you of this day?" She asked rhetorically

Jasmine wheezed due to her short supply of air as she looked up at Cat with hatred.

"I can see from the hatred in your eyes that you want to kill me don't you. Well, here's what I'll do for you my dare 'sister,' I'll give you the chance to kill me" Cat tells her

"What?" Jasmine barely managed to ask

"I'm giving you the chance to come at me i promise i wont attack you and i won't defend myself. In fact I'll even supply the weapon" Cat says placing a dagger in her hand.

The second her grip was firm enough on the dagger jasmine planted in Cat's chest

"Argh" Cat screamed backing away from jasmine

"Take that you bitch" Jasmine shouts barely standing on her feet as her body heals slowly

"I'm gonna kill you just like i killed that old useless pathetic bitch of an elder"

"Ah ah ah ha ha hahahaha" Cats scream turned into laughter

"You useless slut. I bet you thought you stabbed me in the heart didn't you?" Cat asks as she removed the dagger from her chest, the wound instantly closing

"Bu... But i stabbed you in the heart" Jasmine stutters in disbelief

"You think I'd be stupid enough to let you stab me in the heart? Of course not I'm not you." Cat jeered

"That's impossible i know my aim was spot on"

"Little handy skill i picked up from a certain dragon back home. i can move my heart around my body or rearrange my bones to protect it"

"You bitch you tricked me" Jasmine sneered

"Oh come now jazz didn't your bastard of a father teach you better than to get tricked by a demon i mean deceiving is what we do. If only emerson could see you now he'd be so disappointed" Cat mocked

"I'm gonna kill you" Jasmine says

"No jasmine I'm gonna kill you" cat tells her

"Now, look into my eyes" Cat commanded

Jasmine fought to keep her head down as an invisible force seemed to be lifting her head up to look into Cats blood red eyes. She let out an ungodly shriek as she found herself staring into Cats eyes despite her resistance, she tried to look away but cat's vengeful stare held her fast. Immediately all the wrongs jasmine had done flashed before her and Catalaya's eyes. All the times she had wronged Cat, playing the role of the helpless victim after she'd done something wrong to her and other members of the pack. All the injustice she watched Cat go through by the hands of her parents and did nothing to stop it. All the lies, theft, blackmail, hatred, greed, cruelty, lust, deceit, adultery and murder flashed before both girls eyes at dizzying speed.

While looking into jasmine's soul Cat saw something unexpected and completely shocking something she did not expect even from Jasmine. Cat stared in shock for a few moments watching as Jasmine not only rejected but killed her own mate who was human. The poor unfortunate boy who had no idea what his unshakable attraction to this girl meant was murdered all because Jasmine wanted to be with Noah. A tear fell from Cat's eyes due to the loss of an innocent life that was taken out of lust for another that did not belong to her.

"You are stained in the blood of the innocent, their souls cry out for justice and today i shall give it to them" Cat tells her

"Now feel their pain. . . . a hundred fold!"

Jasmine screamed unable to avert her gaze from the unending parade of horrors reflecting in Cats eyes. She found herself trapped in the center of the hellish visions as she felt the pain of her Sins. She was brought back to all the torture Cat went through at Emerson and Nora's hands.

She felt the pain of a barbed whip cruelly lashing Cat's back, flaying skin to the bone.

Cruel fists colliding with her jaw splitting her lips

Poison burning its way down her throat, only receiving the antidote when she was a step away from deaths door

A branding iron seared her skin

Being forced to cook whilst starving for days

Acid scald her thighs and stomach

Glass shattered sticking into her skin as she was thrown through a window

Nora holding her head beneath water

On and on it went, a ceaseless pageant of suffering.

Hell fire surrounded Jasmine burning into her skin as her soul is ripped to shreds in penance for justice of the innocent.

"Nooooooo" she screamed as blood runs from her eyes ears and mouth

The fire trapped her in place slowly incinerating her body bit by bit as the ground she stood on turned to fire and brimstone and ghost like arms reached up out of the dirt pulling her in. Cat released her grip on her as she screamed and begged for the torture to end but their was no salvation for her as her torture had only just began.

When Jasmine had been swallowed up by the ground Cat sat on the ground finally reverting back to her human form. Before she could let out a sigh of relief she heard a loud omf behind her. As fast as a spreading bush fire Cat got up, shifted and got into attack mode.

However before she could make another move she saw an unconscious Alana on the ground who had been behind her the whole time watching the horrifying occurrence.
