The four had made their way into the school building, collecting their things from their lockers before the bell rung for class. America and Canada were both in different classes but Australia and New Zealand were in the same one. The two went into the classroom, sitting next to each other in their own desks. NZ had been staring up at the board while Australia had been scribbling something in his book. He had been drawing the demon that the older student had described. Giving it a stick figureish body with a flower for a head, tilting his head at the fact it really didn't look that scary on paper. New Zealand had looked over at the drawing, giving his brother a confused look before the teacher had snapped for their attention.

"Is that the thing the bus kid was talking about?" New Zealand asked.
"It's supposed to be. I don't know how a flower things supposed to maul people to death" Australia replied, holding the piece of paper up.
"He said it has teeth didn't he?" NZ said, glancing at him.
"Oh yeah!" Australia quickly plopped the paper down, drawing a childish looking picture of a mouth on the middle of the flower, giving it triangle teeth as we all did while drawing monsters as children.
"That look any better?" Australia said, holding the paper up again.
"Eh still kinda looks harmless" Zealand said. Australia looked at the paper, glaring for a moment. The teacher had stared at the two, walking right up to them as they kept discussing monster.
'You two plan on sharing with the class?' The teacher said. New Zealand went quiet, staring up at them while Australia looked around the room. The entire class of ten year olds was staring at him. Australia, being the dumb kid he was, assumed the teacher was being serious and stood up, holding the paper up to show the class.
"Some kid on the bus said this is what's causing all the deaths In town. I was tryna figure out what it looked like!" He said. The teacher had pinched the bridge of their nose, about to tell him to sit down before another student piped up.
'My dad said he saw something like that a few days ago. He said it was all white and tall' the student said. Australia looked back at the drawing, tilting his head before grabbing a whiteout tape and scratching it all over the body.
"Like this?" He asked.

'Australia. Sit down and stop disrupting.' The teacher said. Australia had grumbled to himself, sitting back down in his chair and folding the drawing into his pocket.
'You aren't gonna try and find it are you?' NZ asked.
"Well duh! Who else is gonna find it?" Australia said.
"Animal control...the police...the army.." NZ suggested.
"They're all gonna try and kill it! I wanna find it and learn about it" Australia said, smiling at the drawing.
'There's no way dads gonna let you keep a pet demon" said New Zealand.
"Maybe it isn't a demon. Maybe it's some weird mutated bear" Australia suggested.
"Your a mutated bear" said New Zealand.
"Hey!" Australia shouted.
