We made it to the auditorium. It was fairly large for an auditorium, but my fridge is bigger than this. What can I say? My family likes to eat. My favorite is Hendaff necks. Hendaffs are like giraffes but bigger, with longer necks, and another neck on their backside with an actual head instead of the top of a tail. They taste like ribs but after they've been seasoned and smoked. Also the necks are a lot longer so more meat for you. Right, anyways, back to the situation. Petunia and I were walking in when we saw signs in front of the sections divided by velvet ropes. The good seats were under the signs that said 'HUMANS'. The seats got worse as it went humans to monsters. We found the signs that said 'HALFMEN', it was pretty bad but Im used to it. The seats were sticky and there was food and trash everywhere. I was pretty revolted by it but this how things are.
I guess Petunia was upset by it too but she had something up her sleeve. Literally. She pulled out a little ghost thingy that looked like a fish. She set it down and within second the seats we wanted to sit in were clean, same with a few rows down. All of the stuff it picked up just dissolved in it's stomach and Petunia picked it up again and it 'swam' back up her sleeve. She smiled at me and then sat down. I was impressed and so I sat down too.I guess it was a seminar or something. There was a lot of information I wasn't paying attention to because I was eating a sucker and drawing random lines in my notebook. At one point I felt as though someone was staring at me, or in my direction at the very least. I was right, more or less. The lady who was holding the microphone was staring directly at Petunia. I could tell she was nervous as she sank down in her seat and tried to avoid eye contact. The lady was wearing a pantsuit and had her hair in a bun. The bun didn't look right because of how short her hair was. Who was she again? She said it at the beginning but I didn't exactly catch it. Heiress, marvelous, actress? Something like that.
"Young Lady." the woman had said. Petunia jumped and then cursed under her breath. She look at me with a Shit-shit-shit-shit-shit look on her face. She slid back up and had a nervous smile on.
"Yes?" Petunia asked.
"I'm not sure if you read the signs correctly or saw them at all. For all I know, you could be blind, but I must say that humans go over there." The woman said in an awfully rude tone. She was pointing to an area where there were definitely all humans, snobby looking ones at that. Specifically a blonde who looked the snobbiest of all, chin up, arms and legs folded, a small yet very disapproving frown, and cold vicious eyes. It pissed me off.
"I'm fine here actually...." Petunia whimpered looking at her feet. I was glaring at the blonde and started to hiss. Petunia nudged me as the mic lady was now looking at me.
"Young lady-"
"Petunia. My name is Petunia." she snapped, I could tell she doesn't like being called that for whatever reason.
"Petunia," the woman said accenting the name with a hint of disrespect and distaste, "I don't care if you're fine there, I don't care if your name is Petunia, I don't CARE if you and your little friend next to you cant read a sign! You will do as your headmistress says, and you will do it NOW!! NOW GO TO YOUR PROPER PLACES!!!" She shouted, stamping her foot and aggressively pointing to the human section. I snarled and snatched Petunia up, she was so surprised she forgot she was mad. I grabbed her arm, marched up to the headmistress and let go of Petunia. I nodded and she took a deep breath.
"no." Petunia remarked, trying her best to stay calm.
"You hear that?!" I barked at her "We aren't going to do that got it? " What right did she have to tell us where we can and can't go? We were in our 'proper places'!
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO, GIRL?!" the woman yelled snatching me up. She was holding me by the collar of my sweater. I started squirming around and so she grabbed my neck. All the students gasp, some even covered their eyes.
"I mean NO!" I managed to choke out. She was rattling me now, the room was getting dark, I couldn't breathe, so I did the only thing I could think of. I opened my mouth, snapping back my jaw like an anaconda and let my fangs and nails extend. She was too upset to pay attention to it.
"LISTEN TO YOUR HEADMISTRESS DAMN IT!!!" She screamed. She gasped noticing my fangs, but it was too late. By this time, my fangs had grown to three inches and my nails were now like three inch claws. I snapped my jaw shut and but right through her left hand. She let go of me. Blood spattered everywhere, she shrieked and fell backwards onto Petunia who was trying to get help. She grabbed Petunia's neck with one hand letting her injured on lay limp, and I bared my fangs.
"Get back or I'll-"
"You'll what?" Petunia said tensing up. She fell right through the grip and floated above the floor then placing her hands on her hips. "Let me guess, you'll choke me?" she mocked.
"No! No I am Headmistress Canavar! I control all!" She glared at me and charged. I got on all fours, leaned back, and lunged. I bit her left shoulder and began thrashing and slashing. Flesh and blood went everywhere. I was acting like a wolf attacking it's prey, or a gator wrestling an elk or a young wildebeest. Really, it was kind of like a nature show, except it was happening, and I was in it. Canavar swung to punch me with her right hand, but at this time Petunia was solid again and had caught her arm. She then threw a punch and hit Canavar in the face, causing her to double over. I released her and stood up, blood staining my teeth, lips, and nails. I wiped my face and stood back. She twitched and I snarled. Then she lay there, limp and injured. I relaxed and looked at Petunia, she smiled at me then gasped and pointed to my head. I felt along my hair till I hit something soft and fluffy. They were ears, wolf ears. I turned and looked behind me, and there was a tail. White and bushy.
"Oh no..." Petunia whined
"What's wrong?! What is it?!" I barked, my eyes darting across the auditorium.
"Your beautiful white ears. Oh foo! Now they're stained." She pouted. Then it came back to me... WE WERE STILL IN THE SEMINAR!!! The students were staring at us, some with relief, some with fear, and others with hatred. A human boy jumped out of his seat, he was the one from my bus stop.
"Oh My God are you two okay?!" he cried. He pushed his way through to the stage and grabbed both my arms. The shear terror in his eyes was odd, who was he afraid of, what was he afraid of, and who was he afraid for? He pulled me into a very tight hug. I was uncomfortable and looked to Petunia for help, but she was busy telling the small crowd of students that we were okay. The boy holding me pulled out of the hug but still held my arms. He then started checking my face, arms, and neck for any cuts, bruises, scratches, anything that said I was hurt, like a mom does while repeatedly saying crap. My neck was bruised from the choking but other than that I was fine
He said something to the girl next to him, I couldn't hear them. Actually, it was getting hard to see. Everything was becoming dark and fuzzy. Voices were muffled and some kids started gathering around me. I was loosing my balance, Petunia and crazy mom boy caught me and then-
