Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known bettter; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." Haile Selassis

"What nearly everybody in my life.. had misunderstood about Satanism was that it's not about ritual sacrifices, digging up graves and worshipping the devil. The devil doesn't exist. Satanism is about worshipping yourself, because you're responsible for your own good and evil." Marilyn Mason

Reign of Terror

Xavier POV

Ace followed me into the alleyway where we had a summit with our master; whom I have served for over four years. I had been realeased from prison a year ago today and the reason I went to prison was because I forfill every duty to the best of my ability.. Even with the police pointing their weapons at me I continued to beat the rich boy. I made to kill that stupid prep but in the end I was taken down by five L.A.P.D.s Instead of being six feet under like I had wanted he had to spent almost two weeks recuperating in the hospital. I grinned remembering that he had missed playing in the championship soccer game because of me. I was convicted for attempted murder at age fourteen and for four years I served my punishment in one of the most unspeakable penitentiaries in all the United States. The Los Angeles Juvenile Corrections for Boys. I was the reason the boys started to call it 'the pits of hell'.

The President, Keith J. Richards was too naive to see that it wasn't him that ran the all boys prison. It was me. I was ring leader and ran the place to the T. Like Keeran, I made people beg for mercy. I fondly commit to memory the many thrashings that I dished out to disobedient inmates. The guards didn't know that they feared me greater to anything they could do, legally or not. Ace was one such inmate. He got out the same time that I did. He was only in our circle for a year but he was dependable and dedicated to the cause.

I was decisive that I needed the worst of the worst after he told me want he had sought to possess. From a place where they unwisely placed the nastiest and the most shocking easily manipulated juvenile criminals, in one convenient location. I wasn't only serving my punishment… I was recruiting the day I entered the top-security prison. In the fours years I had reigned in over 70 loyal disciplines, his very own sick minded army.

One day after a whole day at school, which I had to go at least once in a while because the parents were getting suspicions about where I was going. I was leaning against the wall on the back side of the school, smoking, when I decided how to accomplish my task. When Noah, the prep of my high school walked by me with his black duffel bag hanging off his shoulder, he was alone, for once. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, but really he said something ignorant to me and had no one to back him up. The next second he was on the ground and begging for his life. Good thing for him his buddies came and called the police.

Cloak-and-Dagger

I set up sleeper cells in surrounding areas with three in Santa Carla to check up on the vampires and to set up Claire. "She's coming today. I need you three to make sure your guy makes a mistake with messing with her. I don't want her violated, just enough to have David step in and be the hero. Got it?"

Miles nodded, his sad attempts at dyeing his trademark punk mo hawk red, made me snicker at the sight of him coming to meet me. The day Miles got out of prison he was on his way to Santa Carla, on duty, watching David's movements. He was seventeen and with a long list of wrongs including assault and illegal sales of drugs. I recruited him first since he was my roommate and let him walk Santa Carla with two other loyalist.

They used to call him blue because of his hair but changed it to Dean the Destroyer because everything he touched broke. He told me once with a smile that he respected disaster. He had shot and crippled his step father when he was only thirteen years old. The fools let him out early on his 18th birthday and put him on probation to be in the custody of his mother. He didn't even get to say hi to her. The moment he was free he came to serve his new found God.

Robert was the youngest, at the age of eleven to be ever to be sent to L.A.J.C . He was the silent type but when he did speak you better had listened or could be dead. I looked at his rap sheet and found that he had killed a guy that messed with him. With few words Robert told me "I warned him to back off or he was dead. He choose the later." He stabbed the older boy in the stomach, five times. The police hauled him from home hours later after a video camera caught the act.

That week he would turn eighteen and be transferred to an adult penitentiary because he still had ten years to serve. I sent him a cryptic letter for which only disciplines would figure out.

Rob,

You are missed by your family. You father wants you to come home but we know that you have so many years to go. We wish that you would behave in a way that would get you out sooner. We are now living near an amusement park which you would love to see. California has the best waves this time of year. We are giving you money that should last to the day you are transferred.

Your Sister,

Wednesday

That Wednesday morning, he escaped and left one guard dead thanks to the knife that he was given by another loyal insider. The "murderer teen renegade" made the national news but I had manipulated ways to get him to Santa Carla without notice. He got the tattoo the first night on his head, the symbol of terror, giving the world an unspoken warning or so he told me.

The bait, Daniel, was right were I had wanted him, thinking he was the leader of my master's followers. He would be killed by the vampires and that was accepted, but I knew they try to kill these three. I had a plan to make sure they killed them and let them live to await further instructions.

The next night they were still alive but they couldn't stay around since the vampires had thought they had killed them earlier. I sent them to San Diego where another sleeper cell was located. My spell had worked after they reminded Claire that she could be evil. They spilled the potions on three random dazed punks in a empty lot and walked away without a fight. The punks failed to notice that they weren't them anymore and didn't even know what hit them when the three vampires that David led killed them.

I had meet Jacey and could have turned her to be a discipline but decided against it since I needed someone on the outside of the circle. She would be the one I swayed toward Claire since I wouldn't come off as the gentle protector type. I gave her the Black Night crystal on her birthday a week after Ace and I had meant her. I told her it was rare and she quickly took Ace and me into her arms. I had used her for her knowledge, and her abilities. Abby came to us two months later and still I kept her out of the circle.

I had her order the magic book The Shadows of Fate out of the local occult shop even though I knew we would never own it. It was for Claire when she came for it. I hoped that the non witch wouldn't suspect anything but both being clueless Abby and the girl Callie made the deal, I gave her half the money for deposit, to make sure that the book wouldn't be sold. A month later, the book was sitting in the back room waiting. I sent Abby back in to say we couldn't get it the hour before Claire would be entering the store needing the book. I let her keep the money with glee as I watched Claire leave the store the second time holding the thick volume.

All that was needed was for Claire to meet Jacey. Bloodroot, somehow misplaced, made Jacey go into the occult store to get more for the spell we would be doing that night. It wasn't until Claire placed the bloodroot into Jacey's hand did I know that the plan was going smoothly and without the chaos of so many things that could go wrong. Jacey brought up the Black Night but left with Claire instead of just getting it for her and being done with it. While Ace distracted Abby I went to my master and he wasn't pleased at all. Something about David touching his Queen that made him unable to calm down. His perceptiveness was magnificent as he found that she would be coming to him within days. He would reward me with my wish after Claire was his Goddess and Queen.

When the females of our group went to party with the vampires. Ace and I were preparing for the eclipse and Claire's ascension which would be coming to past soon. Chaos came and I rejoiced without the sun, the master was having his way. I was sleeping when he called to me Do the spell now I cannot.. The weight of failure crossed my mind once but I did as I was told calling to the eclipse, deep within the forest, away from distractions. The sun shined on my face as I returned to the factory and laid down, acting amazed when Abby woke me.

Claire was now a Goddess all that is needed now is her to be his Queen. The summit started as he came to materialize in front of us. Our heads went down in respect. "You have done well but there is a problem Claire has yet to be by my side. The vampires need to be eradicated and if your females in your group do not side with me kill them. I don't need more bodies against me.."

I hope you liked this chapter I really wanted to show how evil and depraved Xavier is. Showing who is the real culprit behind everything that has happened to Claire. Keeran was just over seeing what Xavier had put together to get her to him. As you should have guessed Xavier is Keeran's right hand man and most loyal follower.
