The Mark Of The Beast

4. Behind Blue Eye's POV:Shannon Alexis Chandler

He stood around 6ft at least. The hoodie fit but was snug and just a tad stretched in the shoulder area. I guess he was the one that had his pressed all up against mine just a little bit ago. Breathing me in. Preceding to put the moves on me right here, like we weren't total strangers.

His sharp jawline doing its part for that intense look of seriousness. His nose was pierced on the right. A diamond stud twinkling when the spinning lights from the disco ball catch it.

His right ear was gauged with a stainless still loop, you know the gauges that have tiny balls or tiny spikes that screw on. He has 12 or 14 at least. Spikey dirty blond bedhead just looking a mess like he towel dried it and didn't brush it. His hair wasn't long, just long enough to be everywhere if you just towel dry it and don't do anything the tame it afterward. It went well with the very well kept, short dirty blonde goatee, sleekly trimmed. He has some lush full lips for a guy. He got lips for making out passionately. I wonder what kissing them would be like. I'd bet money he got abb's that I'd sure love to pet.

Which is not ok Shannon Alexis don't even go there, thinking thought's about some rando that was weirdly sniffing and putting the moves on me at the same time.

Plus the low rumbling growling noises I'm still picking up now and then are coming from him. I am pretty damn sure he's the source of the growls that sound four-legged and furry.

I've already entertained enough of this weird behavior. I should have stopped him when he was turning me on because we are complete strangers and that brashness isn't for our public display in front of God knows who all.

Keeping our gaze's locked on each other. My mind wandered off lost and trudging through all my thoughts in my head. I was suddenly jerked from a state of daydreaming to the harsh reality of right here and right f*****g now. I took a moment or so for me to realize or wrap my mind around what was happening and who's mercy I am at now.

Someone roughly grabbed me by my arm Jerking me in their direction. My train of thought being snatched back into reality. I was taken aback as it became clear that James was the one grabbing and jerking on me. My body collides with James real hard. James tightens his hold on my arm and yells in my face "b***h! I know you heard me talking to you. You think you are just gonna ignore me like you don't know me?!!"

It sank into my mind and all I said was "James!" With widened eyes from being taken by surprise and a raised tone of voice littered with disgust and embarrassment for the way, he had his vice grip on my arm, snatching and jerking me while he ranted his curses and accusations along with his not so idle threats. Promises of punishments for all my disobedience spewed from him venomously as he yelled all his psychotic babel tantrum bullshit in my face.

The crowd's attention was on him and as I tried to free my arm from his grasp. Which was out of character for me. I don't usually try to engage in struggling and fighting with James. It just makes him act 10 time's worse. But damn it, I didn't have time for this s**t. I got other weird crazy as s**t things I'm trying to deal with at the moment. I'm just not in the mood for this s**t either.

I guess that is what resulted in the impulsive action that is unlike me to try to free myself from his hold and call him by his name in a raised voice because we are in public among other reasons why this isn't the time or place for him to act up and bully me about.

My struggle to free my arm was short-lived as he spared no time with my efforts to make him let go and just right then & there backhanded me in the mouth really hard. My head snapped to the side and the inside of my mouth felt numb and my lip's stung and tingled like a foot does when it has been asleep. I felt the slight swelling starting in my lips.

I'm sure they are red and chapped looking from him backhanding me with a smack that made my ear's start ringing. I swear I heard vicious growls and snapping jaws like an attack dog trying to bite an intruder. If anyone heard the motherfucker going off like Cujo after he went crazy then it's not going to be acknowledged.

I don't know what happened right then in that very second. I think I exploded. Well, burst into flames like spontaneous combustion. I didn't have any burns or anything. It's like I burst into flames and James with flying with singed hair, no eyebrows and probably only blistered like a really bad sunburn.

He landed over there somewhere on some things or people, maybe both. I screamed from startling myself when I burst into flames. Then everybody ran screaming for the exits. I noticed the bar was ablaze, And chaos erupted all around me.

Oh no! What the f**k was that. What did I do? How did I do it? That never happened b4. I got mad and it happened too fast before I had time to think or react. Then my mind burst with thoughts of Oh my God the place is on fire and I set it on fire.

I have to get out of here. I turned to run toward the stairs to the entrance I came in. but I didn't make it anywhere cause I hit an invisible wall or barrier or something. In every direction, I turned to head in. Some invisible something was blocking me. WTF?

I yelled and stomped my foot. The answer I got was silent because of the presence I felt yet again and the feeling of the eye's on me. I slowly turned around to face the blue glow of his intense electric baby blue's. He half smirked as he held up one finger and waved it from side to side while shaking his head no and making "Tsk Tsk" noises with his mouth.

The puzzled confusion must have been written all over my face. He fully smirked this time as he averted his eyes down to the floor and my feet. I looked to see what he cut his toward at my feet.

I noticed a white powdery looking line that my eye's followed the lines complete circle shape and I appear to be inside the circle. I don't seem to be able to leave the inside of this circle. I looked up at him still confused with lack of understanding be the expression that is becoming me for the moment. The place was mostly clearing out by now and there were sirens from fire trucks but the place is still going up in smoke we are inhaling.

Then I notice there are others like him, they are big and intimidating with the same intense expressions on their faces. There were wearing primarily all black or like the one with the electric baby blue's who wore a solid black hoodie and dark ripped jeans and black combat boots. There were 3 other guys and one chick but she looks rough and like she can mop the floor with my scrappy ass. Their eyes all glowing different shades of colors like the glowing electrified baby blues I'm so lost in the glowing blue orb's, I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. So I remained quiet and still for the most part as I waited quietly darting my eyes back and forth between him and the people that are with him I guess. He waved in hand in the air and they all froze in place. None of them daring to take another step or move another inch. The rough & ready looking chick keeps giving glances in my direction. Quickly turning her stern expression back to the big guy with the glowing baby blues. He keeps shifting his electrified stare from me to the tough-looking chick. They are having some kind of conversation with each other. I just have no clue what they are discussing with their eyes.

Finally, he stepped forward and crossed his arm's looking me up and down. When he finally spoke his tone was cocky and his aura resonated some kind of power radiating from inside him and demanded respect filled the air in the room.

He seems to be the ring leader and the others appear to the follower whatever he says. His voice was authoritative and verging a commanding tone. "Thanks, Mad, I will keep that in mind. Now if that will be all at this moment, I'd like to address the more pressing matters at this time. The chick just gave him a confused look before he gave her a hard cold glare in return and she quit testing at once. Then both the big guy with glowing baby blues and the tough-looking chick masked their expressions back to blank and unreadable not giving anything away as to what they may be thinking or silently discussing. I have no idea what they have in mind not do I know what that was about a second ago. The big guy that must be the boss huffed then clapped his hands together loudly. "Now that's better!". He said popping his knuckles. Everyone stayed silent. Everyone's seriously intense gaze was altogether void and in speaking on any matter now. Mr. Glowing baby blues stepped forward in Im in charge kind of stance. Keeping enough distance between us, he stayed back far enough to be just out of arms reach. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. When his eyes opened they were solid black for a split second returned to the electrified glowing baby blues that trapped my speechless undivided attention so effectively since I met them a few moments ago.

"W-Who are...you?!" I stared into his unblinking. He starts circling like a tiger with its prey trapped. It made me instinctively follow his movement, instinct to keep my eyes on him and keep from turning my back on him. Im slightly more comfortable with being able to see him coming at this point.

"That is for you to know in due time...But first things first..." Still circling me with such intensity in his glowing eyes. Raking them over my body from head to toe more than once. Flowing currents of something wild and electrifying with this look like he could just eat me alive right now. I shuddered from the chills that rocked me when the thought entered my mind that he might be a serial killer or something. Then I shivered as shivers ran down my spine as the serial killer thought was instantly replaced with lewd thoughts of being in a compromising position with this strange man, whose name I don't even know. The shivers seemed to travel down my spine and turn into a tingling sensation as it traveled lower into my core. He inhaled deeply again, playing a cocky smirk on his lips he continued speaking "So, here is the deal. If you want out of that circle and out of here. Then you will play nice and come with us. To somewhere more suited...and more private. Away from the prying eyes and listening ears of nosey humans and without interruptions. We need to...talk." He said in all seriousness.

What could he possibly need to talk to me about?
