Fanning Flames

Chapter Four - Detention

Lyra's POV

If cooking dinner was my alone time then detention was socialization time. Now I still don't have friends. That's icky business but allies in crime was okay. That describes Lynn very well. An ally. But the moment I walked into detention I was tempted to turn right around.

Lounging in a desk with all his emo jerk glory was Nico di'Angelo. His black hair as messy ass always, looking like he was some sparkly vampire or dude with no nose, and a three sizes too big aviator jacket (that I had told him was too big but I know now that he didn't care about my opinions at all). I've decided. He's Voldemort now.

I must have looked stupid just standing in the doorway gaping at him because Miss Birch was the one to bring me back.

"Sit down Ms. Silvers" Ms. Bitch points to the desk next to Voldy's (he's dumb and pale okay?) desk. I growled at my luck and took the desk next to the window, which, of course, is the farthest away from him. The bitch rolled her eyes with a slight huff but left me alone. Good. I don't know if she would be able to walk away if she tried to argue with me right now.

I tapped my foot, waiting for the person that made detention fun. Ten minutes after the bell rang she strutted in. This left enough time for us to plan our next attack in detention while also being late enough to 'establish her dominance'.

"Sup Miss Bitch", she quipped. Ms. Bitch snarled but said nothing. Lynn snickered and took her usual seat next to me. Lyra and Lynn, the dynamic duo.

"Wassup twinnie," she said, with a flip of her black hair. Lynn's hair was extraordinary but also annoying. It was long and smooth. The color was a midnight blue. Though no matter how nice her hair was I still didn't want it in my food or caught on my jacket.

"Not much. How's Ana?" I teased. She had a major crush on Ana Sweetheart, which I thought was hilarious and good blackmail material. Lynn went red and scowled.

"Don't know. I tend not to drool over people, unlike you with Mr. Has Potential" she nodded her head in the direction of Nico di' Bitch.

"What?" I hissed in surprise and anger. No way in Tartarus was I drooling over that idiot! Lynn snickered at her ability to get to me. I rolled my eyes, "For future reference sweetheart, I would just like to tell you I drool when planning murder. You drool over Ana". She rolled her dark brown eyes, blushed, and put her feet on the desk.

"Sure twinnie, whatever you say. Now, what do we have planned for Ms. Bitch and Mr. Jerk ?" I smirked and we began discussing our prank. I was for blowing up their offices. Lynn wanted to fill Ms.Bitch's desk with jelly... and possibly her room.

I was feeling better from this emotional roller coaster of a day when I noticed Nico staring directly at me. I blushed and tensed.

"You okay there, Silver?" Lynn was waving her hand in my face, attempting to gain my attention.

"Sure, why wouldn't I be?" I nodded.

"Those three kids are staring at us. We must be super popular if the new kids even know about the legendary devil twins" she laughed. I grimaced. Voldy staring at me had thrown me off so I hadn't noticed the other two in here at all!
Gritting my teeth I turned away to see Ana Sweetheart and Rin Matthews run into the classroom.

"You said you needed us, Ms. Britch?" Ana questioned, slightly out of breath. I fiddled with one of my earrings, feeling uneasy.

"Yes, I did" she smiled and flicked her hand towards the door. It closed with a bang and then locked itself tightly.

"Shit!" three voices rang out. One was mine, another was Percy, the third was Nico's.

"I am so glad to be able to get rid of you all at once," she said, slowly changing. Her hair changed to purple flames, she had a copper leg and claws. At least her demonic face stayed the same. Shit. Remus and I never finalized a plan for this. Damn. I guess it's time to improvise.

"An Empousa" Percy groaned at his luck. I was just surprised he knew what she was. I thought he was supposed to be dumb or something?

"Yes Perseus Jackson, I am the creation of Hecate, meant to scare and kill travelers" she purred, "Yet, you are not going to be my first kill, for once, it will be Lyra Silvers who will feel my utmost wrath! The rest will die quickly".

"Though I'm honored and approve your makeover you are still an ugly bitch" I muttered. I tapped my earring and suddenly in my hand lay a golden katana. I smiled slightly at them. "Good to see you".

"Lyra?" Ana squeaked in confusion. Rin and Lynn were gaping openly mouthed at me. I personally thought my katana was better than Ms. Bitch's makeover but to each their own!

"Don't worry about it " I winked at her, "It's all under control". Lynn glared at me.

"You will not be saying that soon, Silvers" Ms. Bitch screeched. I shifted and prepared to attack when I was blocked by Nico with his sword in hand.

"Motherfucker!" I snarled in surprise.

"You're not getting yourself killed" Nico snapped, "Percy and I will take care of this". I screeched in anger as Nico and Percy began to fight the bitch. Did he really think that I was so weak I couldn't defend myself? That asshole!

"Stop it!" Ms. Bitch and I yelled in annoyance. Like hell, I was going to let them take my kill. She was mine.

I ducked under Voldy's sword and ran to my old drama teacher.

"Gotta be faster than that boys" I called back.

Miss Birch (or whatever her name is) rushed toward me. I dodged and muttered a "Too slow" under my breath. She swung and nicked me under my nose, but above my lips. Blood gushed making the wound look worse than it was. I licked off the blood and dodged Ms. Bitch again.
Growling in frustration when I couldn't find an opening to strike.

"You Miss Silvers are weaker than I expected!" She howled with amusement. In response my eyes and sword began to glow gold.

"Honestly you're such a bitch". And with that I threw my katana like a spear and watched as it skewered her neck. With one last pig like squeak she exploded into gold dust.

Lynn had moved in front of Ana and Rin during the fight and all of them were looking beyond shocked. I picked up my katana and watched it disappear into a gold flame. Again becoming the gold star earring I always wore.

Ana moaned and ran from behind Lynn to me.

"Oh, sweetie, your face!" She rushed forward and used her sleeve to wipe my face off. Lynn smirked and said "Don't worry.You still look over-the-top gorgeous.". To say I was a bit surprised by there reactions would be correct. But then again the all were varying degrees of insane.

I smirked back and said, "Well no shit!" Ana finished wiping and stood by Lynn. Rin gave me a shaky thumbs up from next to Reggae.

Tears pressed behind my eyes. I didn't have friends but I had all the allies I needed to get through this crazy experience.
