☠️POSChap3: Monster Teacher☠️

(First Person POV)

"Erik! Where are you Erik!" I yelled across the playground. It was almost time to go inside class and Erik would have usually returned by that time. He didnt really like socializing with the others. He was very smart and he was secretly my favorite student, tho I won't admit to others. Erik has had it very rough through his so far childhood so I opted to take care of him.

"ERIK WHERE ARE YOU-" I paused when I heard a sob. I froze. I suddenly felt a bad feeling. Like something was wrong. I followed the sound to behind a large tree across the playground. I went around the other side to see a sniffling Erik. He was sobbing into his long sleeved hoodie I had given him this morning to keep him warm. I kneeled down in front of him and gently petted his soft hair. He looked up with red puffy eyes. The deformed side of his face peeking out as he looked up slightly at me through his tears. He had very long lashes and was smaller than the others.

"M-Ms-" I stopped him with a gentle shh. He silenced but he had hicoughs now from crying and he still was crying, tears flowing down his cheeks. I opened my arms for him. He quickly lunged into my arms and pushed his face into my shirt. My eye brows are arched in worry and sadness to see Erik cry like that. I picked him up and held him close to my chest. I looked down at him as he sniffled and sobbed into my shirt. I kept one hand on his back and one on his bottom to keep him up.

"What are you crying about, Erik?" I asked gently, in a low whisper to the young child. His classmates were still all playing. I don't now what could have caused Erik to cry...

"..." He tugged my shirt and I returned my gaze to him. He pulled the sleeves of his new hoodie and showed marks! Cuts that were bleeding and many bruises. I felt an anger bubble in me. My face darkened and I felt the beast in me tug at my heart.

"Who did it?" I asked, sounding sharp even to my own ears. He pointed weakly at the boys near the corner. They had sticks in their hands and were giggling about something. I moved to put Erik down but he held on tight, pulling up his sleeves and hanging onto me.

"I will show them a lesson...." I growled lowly, glaring at the boys. They seemed to notice and drop their sticks. I motioned them over.

"You can hide behind me, Erik." I said confidently to him. He nodded hesitantly and I let him down. He hid behind my legs, peeking out as the boys made their ways over with scowls on their faces. The beast in me broke when Erik started to cry again. I bared my fangs and grabbed the first boy closest to me. I ate him whole. Then I killed off the other boys. Erik was still cowering behind me. I wiped the spot of blood off of his deformed cheek. He looked at me with sweet and pained blue eyes. I had blood splattered all over me.

"You don't have to let me pick you up, I'm covered in blood." I said to him. I kneeled before him, matching his eye level. He shuffled to me and got into my arms, he didnt seem to mind the blood. I picked him up and walked back to class, my other children following behind me obediently.
