He's Cocky, He's Mean, He's My Pet Panther Chapter 1

"Mom...MOMMM." I whined, kicking the dashboard, giving her a clear show of my unhappiness. "Must we go to the mall, again?"

Anne shot me a confused look.  'But Clarke, it's going to be so much fun! I saw the most adorable dress in the shop yesterday." 

I rolled my eyes.  'What a bore." I muttered, looking out the car window.  There goes my escape plan.  Anne was my stepmother.  My mother left me and my father before I even knew what a mother was and Anne successfully filled the role of one.  Bright, caring and cheerful.  But trust me, sometimes it might be nice if she wasn't so enthusiastic about things I wasn't.  

"And then afterwards we can look for your prom dress, I saw the most adorable pink--"

"We're sorry to interrupt but there appears to be an animal escape in Charleston near--" Just as it caught my attention, Anne fumbled with the radio tuner. 

"MOM! That could have been important," I yelled at her, goddamn, why was she always so careless.

"Gosh, Clarke, why are you always so paranoid?  That boring news channel was hurting my head." She murmured, slapping my hand away from the car stereo. "They always make big news out of little things, I mean what's the most that could happen in our little town? The escape of a monkey or two? Besides the only zoo is on the other side of town. 

Well, at least she was right about that.  I settled back into my seat, trying to calm myself.  Maybe she was right, maybe I was overreacting, I mean what's the worst that could happen?

A lot worst than I thought.

The moment we arrived at the mall, Anne took my by the arm and dragged me straight for  theSugar Pink Girl's Collection.  I swear sometimes she still thinks I'm five

"This is nice,' She dumped another load of shirts into my arms.

 'Ohhhh, and this!" Another one.

I let out a deliberately loud sigh, but it was silences by the piercing screams.
