Hatred.

That's what dominated over anything else in my heart.

Hate for them.For what they did.For what they stood for.

I let Granna drag me inside.I passed them all.Their gazes trying to burn me just like last time.

Yes,last time.

Oh how stupid I had been?!Craving their trust,their respect,their support, their love.Ready to do anything for them so that they could accept me,welcome me in their fold.Give me the family that I had always dreamed about.Not once did I ever even wish any harm to befall them despite their ill treatment towards me.I gave my all,never expecting anything in return.

And how did they repay me.?

By taking away the only one who mattered.

I haven't forgotten their part in it and I won't let them forget it as well.

It filled me with disgust to see their faces again. I didn't let it show out. I burned inside to show them exactly what I felt.

Patience.

I have to be patient.I have to find that one.The one who is responsible the most in ruining my life.

"Zairi I cannot imagine the pain you are going through but please know that I am here for you." Granna's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I looked at her.She seemed to have lost weight.Her cough erupted whatever next she was supposed to say.I got out of her hold to offer her some water.We had reached her room.

After she had gulped enough water I helped her sit down on the chair she always occupied, like the good old days.She waited for me to say anything.I really didn't have anything to offer.

I turned back to go out.

"Zairi..I know you are ang.."

I interrupted her before she could say something to break my resolve.I didn't want her sympathy.Her love anymore.She was as responsible as the rest of them.She let my Ma die.Not once but twice.Her place in my heart crumbled to pieces when I broke down.I had no more to give to anyone.

I was done.

"Elder Kurona, I think you should rest now."

I walked out, not seeing the flinch and not hearing the sharp intake of breath she took.Not paying heed to the small voice calling me to come back.

It didn't matter anymore.

I took my steps to the living hall where many of the members were still standing,no doubt discussing their next plan of action. Sarah and Leann being two of them.Alpha was nowhere to be seen.

It all stopped as the first pair of eyes swung to me.

I continued my steps not stopping to greet them,not waiting for their reactions.I continued on,not letting my eyes drop to ground this time.I stared back at them blatantly.My hatred visible clearly to all.Daring even one of them to come out and call me out for my rudeness.Eager for it,actually.

My eyes must have been flashing red because I heard several gasps.I smirked.Satisfied to see that hint of fear in many of them.

"Listen child,I don't know what you wan't but I'll warn you right now.I won't tolerate you threatening our Pack." One of the elders I guess.I had seen him in meetings with Alpha Zed once or twice.

I stopped before I could climb the first stair.So it has started.

"If you want to stay here.Fine.But you better be in your limits.If you ever cross your lines,I will not hesitate to.."

A deep chuckle erupted inside and I let it flow out.The silent room was filled with my laughter.

I turned to him slowly.My chuckled subsiding slowly."Yes..?What would you do .?Please enlighten me what won't you hesitate to do exactly..?" I asked crudely.My voice loud and clear.

"This bitch..she.." I didn't let Leann continue.

Anger like never before erupted the volcano inside me.My senses sharpened more.The scene before me turned red.Everything washed in blood red color. I could see the smallest dust particle in the air.Hear the sound of them sucking in the air.My skin sensitive to the red aura around me.I could make out their body heat from the distance.My body thrummed with a new power.I relished it.Enjoyed it.A new magic started coursing through my veins.My fingers emitting a red radiance.I could feel it flowing within me.This red radiance gathering in my heart and then pulsing out.So much of it.I directed it at the woman who had ignited this fire inside me.

My eyes zoned on her.

How dare she speak a word..?

She fell down to ground clutching her throat.Her feet landing with a thud.Sarah rushed to help her.

"Leann.."Her worried eyes shifting from me to her friend lying on ground.

"Fuck.!" The Elder reached to her faster ,seeing as he was standing the farthest from Leann.

I saw surprise and then anger change their eyes.I raised a brow at the group.

Did they really think I'll care..?

Unrepentant I continued towards the now fallen woman.Ironic.

Several other Elders emerged out of the group to block my path.All the humor from my face evaporated as I saw one of them rushing towards me with something in his hand.

I raised my hand.

Stop.

Red tendrils floated around my fingers like small ribbons.He sagged down to the ground.His eyes closed.Still breathing.

They froze as a whole.Eyes riveting from the one on the ground back to me and again.My fingers tingled with the need to crush them down.I refrained myself and pushed this energy inside.

I shook my index finger at the others, shaking my head slightly.

I could sense their fear.Their hesitation.

I sniggered at their cowardly self's.

Very easily they cleared my path and let me continue.

Weaklings..The lot of them.

I would have surely enjoyed the exercise ,if only they had the guts to continue.

The Elder bowing along with Leann shouted at me to stop.I could see his fingers trembling "What the fuck did you do to her..?Tell me.."

Really..?

"" My voice had deepened.But sharp enough to cut .I saw him flinch.I continued on until I reached the trio.

I looked down on them.The sight bringing a cruel smile on my face.

I knelt down before Leann.I looked at the frightened expression on Elder's face who supported Leann.I turned my eyes to the other side ,to look at Sarah's nervous and scared face.

Yes that's right.You do need to fear me.

My eyes found the ones I was seeking.She hadn't let go of the grip around her throat.Still gasping for breath.Her eyes widened more.Her body shaking with the effort to break itself from the magic that held her immobile.My eyes moved over her prone body still jerking frantically.

" I enunciated each word as her eyes widened even more.I narrowed my eyes.Her's shrink-ed further.

Her hands started to claw at her throat.Her nose started bleeding.I kept my narrowed eyes on her.

Despite his apparent fear,the Elder blocked my view.I won't lie.He did. Try,that is.

I didn't like that intrusion.

I was making a point here.

Go away.

With a small swipe of my hands he flew through the air and crashed on the wall breaking the mirror of the table that was placed there.I looked at the broken body.

Pity.

Turning my gaze back I said coldly in a few words."Don't ever interfere me,got it..?" I got no response.I tilted my head to the side,waiting.Understanding my demand she tried nodding her head a little.

I smiled at that.Hmm,good girl.

Letting my hold on her loose, I got up. The red vision vanished as soon.I felt it inside, the power that pulsed only a few moments ago dimming slowly.I came back to myself.

Leann sagged down further onto Sarah's side as she coughed and sputtered continuous;y.Eagerly sucking in huge amounts of air into her lungs.

Satisfied my point was clear across,I turned to go back my way.Without any interference this time.I think they got the message.

It's just beginning.
