Demons

Chapter 34- A Bad Feeling

Also, I'm in a crappy hotel at the moment because we're in a crappy hotel and the internet is bad, like seriously, so sorry if updates are late or I skip a day.

Amy's POV-

The moment I woke up to my alarm clock blaring I was about to reach over to turn it off when I saw I emerald feathered hand, the fingers hooked into jagged green claws, emerge from underneath my bed. They reached out to crush my alarm clock; the pieces bending easily between their claws. I let out a pitiful yelp and fell off the bed landing with thump only to spot a disgruntled Gertrude under the bed. Her eyes didn't have the contacts on them and irises glowed an eerie green in the dark dust.

"50 shades of fuck that is what child predators do! Hide under the bed! And now I have to buy a new alarm clock!" I glanced to the shattered pieces across the floor.

The feathered hand turned normal, the green feathers retracting back slowly, and the claws morphed back into fingers, "That's the least of your worries right now, something's wrong; I can feel it." She murmured and curled around herself under the bed. I gave the green-haired woman a worried look and didn't feel like making a sardonic comment about it obviously whatever was happening the elder women didn't like it.

"Stay home from school today." Gertrude turned over emerald eyes blazing in the dark, "Maybe I can teach you a few things instead while you miss it.... At least until this feeling goes away."

I frowned at the curled-up ball beneath my bed. Missing a few days of school actually shed light on the fact that it was boring at home most of the time and that there was nothing to do unless I could call a friend to come and hang out with me or we could go wonder around the town but then people would question why we weren't in school.

Gertrude looked to be highly upset about something; couldn't tell what though. Although she teaching me Demon things was probably beneficial. I couldn't learn those things at school and it would probably be helpful not to morph right in front of the entire class. I le out a sigh, "Alright, I'll stay home, the administration isn't going to like though.... I need some kind of accuse to stay home, a note signed by a parent, or a doctor's note, which I don't have so they think I'm playing hooky right now..." I wrinkled my nose in disapproval, I technically wasn't ditching school, I was still learning.

"Well they're going to have think you're playing 'hooky' for right now, because we don't have an excuse." Gertrude at last crawled out from beneath by bed and dusted my bed. I slouched forward and gave a groan. Gertrude took in my posture before saying "And sit up straight, you'll get a bad back if you haunch over all the time." She lightly tapped her foot to the base of my back and I straightened my spine.

"But I slouch all the time! This is the first time I've done it!" I cried.

"All it takes is one go to start a habit." She proclaimed. I just scowled at her. 'Now you're acting like a mother." To that she just smiled in return to that. "Now back to skipping school, you need to start going!" She yanked me up by the hand and pushed me towards my closet door. "You have a audience to fool!" Gertrude giggled. "OK fine but I need to text Poppy to let her now I'm skipping." I said reaching over for my phone, Gertrude intercepted my hand, "I'll do it; you get ready."

"What are you going to do?" I asked

"I'll come find you after a while." She smiled and gave me a final stronger push. I turned to look at her before searching for my clothes. "You do owe be an alarm clock."

I got my school uniform and did my daily routine, showering, brushing my hair and changing clothes. I exited the bathroom, ran down stairs and yanked open the front door to fake heading to school. The morning air tickled across my skin although it felt great a feeling of apprehension stirred in my belly.
