Chaquet- (noun) A small gathering of persons with a malicious intent, such as to inflict physical or mental harm, vandalize property, spread lies, etc.

Examples: The Prince slept, blissfully unaware of the chaquet of assassins scaling the wall outside his bedroom.

The monsters inside the child's closet are a chaquet driven on terrorizing the poor boy.

Liam pulled the trigger, killing he who was once his best friend and thus earning him acceptance into the chaquet of gangsters who lived on his street.

When I clicked on this link I was surprised to find an entry like this, but it grew on me. It was clever of you to write short little stories as your example. They gave little glances as to the meaning, but also showed creativity.

Other than the correction on the last line, it's perfect! Keep Writing! -Tori
