Dragon's Curse

Sudden Death Mode

I was inside my stall, door locked, sobbing my heart out.

I was tired of this crap already. I wanted to go home and sob on the floor, chew on my food, cuddle in a blanket with a nice person, and just fall asleep. But nope. Everybody hated me. Somebody knocked on my door.

"Mitch? You in there?" It was Kalie. I opened the door a crack, let her in, then slammed it. It was tight, but we were in it together. "What's wrong?" She asked gently.

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?!" I shouted. "You saw what they did to me! You were there!" I screamed. I didn't care if her feelings were hurt. I was just so mad. I needed to kill those bullies. As I screamed at her in rage, a huge cone of blue-black fire erupted out of my mouth. I stopped abruptly. Although I missed her, the toilet water was now boiling, and I clamped my hand over my sewn mouth.

"Mitch? What was that?" She asked gently and nicely. I shrugged eyes the size of dollar coins. "Can you open your mouth, please?" She asked, putting her face close. Even though I just screamed out my rage in her face, she seemed unaffected. But I saw the pain I caused her in her eyes. It looked like something in her died, but she tried not to show it. The door was locked. I opened my mouth slowly, cracking it at first, then soon open all the way. She looked inside. "Well, there's the problem." She said finally. I shut my maw. "Your tongue reverted to its normal form."

"By that you mean....?" But I could tell she didn't understand. I roared in rage.

"Well, yeah, like that. Try to keep quiet and calm. It's time for Gym, we have been in here for half an hour. Thanks, we missed Science." She didn't sound like she was kidding. She led me to the P.E room, although I already knew where it was, and we faced the teacher together. 

"Today," Her voice boomed. For a small woman, Mrs Keet was strong and had a loud, booming voice like snow melting. "We are playing dodgeball." She grouped us, and I was with Kalie and against the horde of bullies, including Kevin and Fred. Great. Just great. This is gonna suck. My hood was wrapped around my neck tightly, and I picked up a ball. It was a big green one. "START!" She blew her whistle. I spun my arm around and hurled it. It slammed into Kevin's gut and he fell backwards. I grinned and picked up a blue one. 

"Take him down!" Fred pointed at me. Three balls, green, black, and white, came spiking at me. I lept over the first one, swished sideways for another, and caught the last one, making that kid lose. I smiled and threw the white one I caught. CRASH! Smashed into a kids stomach. I felt anger that everybody was coming at me.

"Hit the freak! Hit the weirdo!" People laughed and threw balls at me. I dodged each one.

"STOP!" The teacher yelled. Everybody did so. "Quicklink mode!" She hollered. That meant you can attack anybody. Anybody. All of the jailed ones came out, and I hoarded my purple ball. Mine. "GO!" All eyes turned to me. I gulped.

"GET HIM!" About thirty balls came flying at me. I lept, dodging all of them with a complicated dive and parry. I hurled mine at Fred. Suddenly, he tackled me and held my face to the floor. 

"This is where you belong, freak!" He pushed my face deeper in the floor. No balls came near us. I felt extreme anger. With a roar, I smashed him off and jumped upwards. Somehow, I didn't land on the ground. I released a guttural cry of anger and shot dodgeballs everywhere. Most were covered in fire. I dove at Fred and Kevin and lifted both of them up. I flew up and up, soon smashing through the roof. My hood fell as I slammed them into the roof, dropping them. The roof was at an angle, and soon they would slip off. Bwahaha.

"This is where you belong, freak!" I mocked. I held out my foot, and Kevin tripped and almost fell off the side. I grabbed his shirt and peeked down the hole I made. Everybody had stopped and was watching us.

"Mitch!" Keet screamed. "Bring them back or I will get out the crossbow!"

"You would shoot me?" I yelled. I was furious. I dropped Kevin through the hole, and he hit the ground with a satisfying SPLAT! All of his bones broke, and his organs popped. He was gone. Blood was everywhere. But the worst part was Kalie giving me a look of pure horror, watching my horrid acts.  She ran out the side door and was soon outside near me below.

"Mitch! Stop this, please!" She hollered at me.

"They would've done this to you! So why can't I stop them before they get you?!" I picked up the jerk by the collar, holding him three feet off the roof. He gasped and choked.

"No, they wouldn't!" She protested. I glared.

"Oh yes, they would!" I screeched, raising the kid. Kalie started to climb up the wall. There were rungs in case of emergency. Anyway, she stood beside me, then she charged. I grinned wickedly. I hurled the snotbag in my arms as far away as possible, about fifty feet, and shot into the air. The wail of sirens below echoed around as she grasped my ankles and hung on for dear life. I watched Fred splat on top of a police car. I smiled, then frowned. I saw the girl hang from below. I looked down. "Let go!" I cried, kicking my legs around, but that girl had a grip.

"Why did you kill them, you monster?" She said up to me. I looked into her eyes, which were wide with terror and tears.

"Monster?" I whispered. I kicked her off, and she fell, screaming. I dove for her and carried her so her eyes were level with mine. (Kind of, I mean, her eyes were weird.)

"Yes! You killed two people!" She spat in my face. I grimaced and glared.

"Actually, it was four." She gasped.

"FOUR?!"

"Yep." She slapped at me.

"YOU MURDEROUS MONSTER!" She cried out and hit me. I flew to the top of a tree and sat with her seventy feet up.

"Yes, I am. A monster. Nobody loves a monster, so I should just leave."

"I LOVED YOU!" She screamed.

"What?" I whispered. My heart beat wildly.

"I did, but I can't love a killer!" My heart shattered. I looked down, then took flight.

"Then I'll just leave." I flew far away, as far away as possible. I felt rage. But I took off to my cave. All I saw when I faced her was her bloody tears and upset face which would haunt me forever.
