The Sacred Six

The Poison

All the guests were enjoying themselves thoroughly. Listening to the old Music brought up nostalgic memories that had Amethyst and Areson telling stories of when they were younger with Callum. It was getting late and everyone was starting to feel drained. The siblings were exceptionally drained, they watched their mother on occasion and was wondering how she kept up her continuous energetic mood. “I’m going to bed!” Amethyst announced finally, It was 10pm, time flew by between the drinking and the laughing and pure enjoyment. “But I’m going to take the last bottle with me…” Amethyst said, pointing to the last bottle that was still sealed and sat on the table near to the group of people. “Will you be alright? Are you going to finish that bottle by yourself?” Pagan asked, surprised. It surprised her because her mother was never the drinking type but Maybe it was just because of her dad, she thought. “My darling Pagan, I’m fine! I’ve been drinking for as long as I can remember, don’t you worry dear…” Amethyst responded nonchalantly, “Besides, Areson will be accompanying me to my room and myself and him will share memories of your father, that none of you would understand…” She added. With a nod and a goodbye Amethyst took the last bottle of whiskey and was escorted out of her classroom by Areson. Next to leave was Cato, bidding his most sincerest farewells to his friend Demetria, he had no choice but to go back to their home to ‘man it down’ or so he said. He would return the next day for Callum’s Funeral but he always said the rest of the familiars at home were irresponsible and feared that they would find a way to accidentally burn down the house. “Sooooo! I’m drained… Nix… Seen as you’re the oldest, oh and Row, I feel it is your duties to clean up…” Stone slurred extending the ‘o in so’ and infuriating Rowen. “You are just as responsible to clean up this mess as much as any of the siblings.” Rowan muttered out angrily, but then felt a hand on his shoulder, “I honestly think the rest of them should get to bed, They are not as sober as we are and it has been a draining day…” Phoenix said sweetly to her brother looking around at her siblings. Who were obviously legless. She couldn’t be angry with Stone even if someone paid her a million Dollars. She had a soft spot for her siblings, which made her a doormat, easily walked over. Rowan Just nodded, it didn’t take away his anger but he thought the clean up would go Quick, with Phoenix, so they should start now just so that they too could get some well-deserved rest.

Adawulf grabbed Stones hand, “Stay with me tonight…” He whimpered. Stone was melted by his touch immediately, and just nodded excitedly. Waving goodbye to the other siblings and leaving. “Can I walk you to your dorm?” Calypso asked Demetria, “Sure…” She responded also feeling the sudden wave of tiredness that had overcome her too. They proceeded to leave, and Valkyrie soon followed. Being the youngest of the clan, Valkyrie was told to leave, and to not hang around, so she followed her sister and Calypso to the dorm, ultimately ‘c**k blocking’ Demetria from going any further with Calypso - Sexually. “Go back to the dorm Page… We’ve got this covered…” Phoenix assured Pagan, as she started to collect the empty glasses from the tables. Pagan didn’t look drained, she was used to staying up late at the bakery, sometimes making her desserts and cakes for display for the following day. She could handle her alcohol and seem sober. Pagan just nodded her head at her sister. She wasn’t in the mood to clean up anyway. So she packed up her things and proceeded to the doorway.

Not long after she left, as she made her way towards the dorms, she felt a tug at her hand, and instantly turned and was face to face with Mannix. “Mr. Conan?” She said in surprise. “Cut the formality Miss Grove, Call me Mannix…” He responded, a smile growing on his face. It was a sexy smile, one that would make Pagans hormones race and think of the dirtiest things that she had ever thought of before. “Mr. Conan… With all due respect, I would still prefer to address you as my teacher.  We are on school grounds after all…” She responded in a nonchalant way but still respectful. “I had fun tonight…” Mannix said after a awkward few seconds of silence, that was  accompanied by a strong and handsome stare. “I’m Glad you did…” Pagan responded, suddenly feeling a rush of air surround her, causing her to get cold. “Are you cold?” He asked, offering her his jacket but before she could respond, he had already taken his jacket off, and draped it over her shoulders. He touched her face and sparks flew, through his touch. She could feel the heat and the connection instantly. “Why am I doing this?” He asked pulling away from her suddenly, “Are you asking yourself the question??” She responded, “I can't understand why I so desperately want to touch you. If I’m not around you I ache. I need to be with you. I need to touch you, but this is so wrong, you are a student, and I can get fired, I think we may be twin flames and I Know, I know with every inch of my body, That you feel it too…”  Pagan looked at him stunned, at his confession. She thought he would be more reserved about it, but he was standing in front of her, almost begging her to be with him. Begging Her to be with him, but in secret. “Mr. Conan…” She responded but before she could continue, she was abruptly interrupted with a kiss, the kiss was so strong that it almost made her pass out. She wanted to kiss him and she was enjoying every minute of it. He pulled away, out of breath, “Come with me…” He whispered huskily. Her body was moving at its own accord because it followed him. Following him to the teachers quarters, she couldn’t believe that her body was moving willingly to this man's demands, but she loved it. He opened his door and ushered her in, switching on the lights and then staring at her hungrily. “Remove your clothes and Get on the bed.” He demanded, making her whimper and do as she was told. It was the first time anyone had ever spoken to her in that way, sexually and she loved it. She became submissive and started to remove her clothes, she pushed back her fiery hair and climbed on the bed. He had taken a seat on a stool that faced the bed, observing the ‘Show’ that she was putting on, by removing all of her clothes. “Good girl…” He said now standing and stalking towards the bed where she had now resided. She licked her lips because it suddenly went dry, feeling the cold breeze coming from a nearby window, on her naked body. He reached down towards her body roaming it with his large hands, as he hovered over her. He examined every inch of her body, looking it over like it was the first time he had ever seen a naked woman. “Beautiful…” He mumbled under a heavy sigh, showing how mesmerised he was by her beauty. He quickly regained his composure getting undressed and lifting her from the bed. They uttered nothing to each other, and Pagan felt comfortable being in his presence. She sat on his lap as he took a seat on the bed. They stared at each other for a moment, He took her in as he roamed her body with his hands, the ecstasy that surrounded them was as if the Gods had created it. “You can't tell anyone about this…” He breathed out as he was looking into her eyes and she was looking into his. A frown grew on her face, and she suddenly lifted her naked body off of him. Putting her clothes back on. Mannix tugged at her arm like he did earlier, “Hey, You do know why I’m saying this?” “Yes, I know why You said it… I just think that we should wait until I’m done here at the academy. Then we can pursue something...” She responded as she pulled her trousers back up and started buttoning them. Not looking at him whatsoever, but not showing any sign of anger. He searched her face for any emotions, “Are you angry?” He asked his voice almost sounded like a whimper, “Why would I be Mr. Conan? We shouldn’t be doing this… This is so wrong…” She said sitting on a chair and zipping her leather boots up, making no eye contact. “It feels wrong but it feels right?” He stated, suddenly kneeling down between her legs and looking up at her, catching her off guard. “Yes… It feels wrong and right at the same time… I shouldn’t have come…” She smiled sweetly at him, He shook his head, and smiled back. “I will Love you from afar… Just for the time being, I was so busy being caught up in your beauty and the attraction between us, I know it's wrong, and we can’t…” He responded and she just nodded and smiled at him, as they were put into a trance once again, staring into each other’s eyes. “Don’t go…” He said after a few moments, breaking eye contact. “Please…” He added with a sweet smile that she couldn’t resist. She nodded. “Don’t try anything funny Mr. Conan…” She casually joked with him, He let out a soft chuckle, “Your just hard to resist…” He responded. She took her boots back off and he put some boxer shorts on, ‘Finally!’ she thought, she wouldn’t have been able to control herself if he hadn't covered himself. She climbed on the bed and he climbed on it next to her. He pulled her close. “I’m sorry if I offended you earlier…” he said kissing her head, “It's fine… I won't tell anyone our secret…” She smiled lovingly at the kisses he was giving her. He Gripped her in a tight embrace, and eventually they both slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

“Row, can you and Mason pack the rest of the chairs?” Phoenix asked as she started taking the glasses to the small wash room at the back of the classroom. He nodded and she disappeared into the washroom, running the hot water in the sink and sinking the glasses in the water, then adding some soap. Gaia started drying the dishes as soon as Phoenix placed them on the drying rack. They were chatting in between about random things, when they felt they were not alone. Phoenix turned back to the door thinking it was Mason or Rowan, She had a smile on her face but it dropped, when she saw who was leaning against the door frame. “I forgot you were here…” Phoenix said disappointed, “Oh don’t look too happy, I’ve come to help the ladies with the cleaning…?”, “No thanks, I think We’ve got this covered Trinity Thanks…” Gaia Responded. Phoenix and Gaia went  back to business, cleaning the Glasses and snack plates. Totally ignoring Trinity’s Presence. Trinity didn’t like that she was being ignored and was going to make herself known. “I’ve Got a secret…” Trinity said, Trying to get a rise out of them. “What’s your Secret Trinity?” Gaia huffed giving into the ignorance Trinity showed. “Mason has a really Big… A Really big… You know what…” She said, Gaia stopped drying mid air and looked at Phoenix who Nonchalantly continued with the dishes. “Ha! That’s not a secret… I thought everyone knew that…” Phoenix said, she was certainly hurt, but she was not going to show it, not in front of Trinity though. Her hurt stemmed from the fact that, How Trinity would know this, where as Mason assured her that there was nothing between them. She couldn’t speculate though because she knew that Trinity was trying to get a rise out of her. It was working. Gaia smirked at Phoenix’s ‘well played’ comment. “I Especially like his Tattoo, Just below his… Stomach… You know the Pentagram…” Trinity giggled out. ‘Now how in Hell's name would she know that!’ Phoenix Thought, shaking her head but not looking at Trinity who was still Casually leaning on the door frame. “I Think you should go now Trinity…” Gaia said Angrily, seeing Phoenix’s look of hurt, as she washed the same plate for the umpteenth time. Phoenix bit her lip when Trinity started again, “He is using you… Do you know he has told me he loves me… we Made love all night long, and He didn’t think of you once… He screamed my name! He is Mine…” Trinity said Nastily. “GO NOW!” Gaia shouted, Making sure Rowan could hear. Which indeed he did and so did Mason. “What’s going on?” Rowan shouted, looking between Trinity and Gaia, and his sisters back. “Nothing…” Phoenix mumbled continuing to clean. “No, Not nothing, Trinity needs to leave… Now!” Gaia Responded. “You are a bastard for doing that to Phoenix! Is she not your Twin Flame?!” Gaia continued, pointing an accusing finger at Mason. “What the hell did I do?” Mason defended. Gaia Grabbed Phoenix’s arm pulling her from the sink and through the door of the washroom pushing everyone out of their way. “Let's get you back to the dorm girl…I will clean up in the morning! You don’t need foolish people in your life.” She said, pulling her and walking to the door. Suddenly they both are stopped in their tracks, with an urgent Banging. “HELP! HELP!” Gaia and phoenix looked at each other then back to the door. “Rune?” Phoenix asked in surprise when she opened the door and saw a sweaty, out of breath Rune. “Phoenix, Thank God you are still here! I took a chance to come and find you! I saw the lights were still on! It’s your Mother! She’s in the Academy hospital!” “My Mother?
