"Come in."
I gently pushed open the doors of Weems's office. I was called in for an "urgent, private matter". I hoped it was nothing too serious, I would have hated seeing principal Weems angry or disappointed in me, although I was sure I didn't do anything wrong.
I was in my last year at the Nevermore academy, and I tried doing everything perfectly. I wasn't always like this, a perfectionist and a "nerd", always doing my homework on time and spending my time studying. No, at first, I was carefree and I scarcely studied. My grades went up considerably, and all because of her. At first, I just thought she was a woman like any others, so I didn't even bother looking at or listening to her. But when I started spending more of my time with her- I had to because of my grades; she offered to help me and give me private lessons to help me get a grip on the studying situation, I started falling for her.
She was an angel; sweet, caring, a motherly figure. But as time passed, all I wanted was to feel more of her touch. She often squeezed my hand or touched my shoulder, but I found myself wanting more. And I wanted to hear more of her voice, her laughter, her hums of approval. I cherished every moment I got to spend with her, which were scarce now that my grades went up.
I wanted to be the top student, just to see that spark in her eyes, to make her proud. To hear her say "good girl" with that velvety voice of her.
"Did you call for me?"
I said, walking towards her desk. She was lost in thought, I could tell. Her lips pursed, her eyes fixed on the fire that lightened the place. She nodded, looking away, moving her hand as to say to come closer.
"Yes, my darling. Please, take a seat."
I did as I was told, making myself comfortable on one of the red couches in front of her. She gave me a weak smile. She was worried about something, I couldn't bare to see her like that. I wanted to take all of her worries and stress away from her, make her calm and soothe her into a peaceful bliss, away from all the problems that plagued the world. She deserved to be happy, and I wanted to be the one to give her that.
"I suppose I owe you an explanation as to why you're here."
I looked at her, listening closely.
"An outside source told me there's an... unidentified creature, scurrying freely in the woods that surround this academy."
I nodded, making her understand that I was listening. She sighed.
"This creature is giving us problems, attacking our students and my fellow colleagues. We can't have that."
She stopped for a second, once more fixing her gaze on the only source of light in the room.
"I understand. I'm sorry to hear that, how can I help?"
She smiled softly, looking at me once again.
"I knew you would be willing to help."
I smirked, blushing a bit. I would be willing to do anything for her. She could have asked me to kill and I would have done it.
