Mr West's office is as good a place to begin as any. Or as bad a place. Mr West is the principal of the school that I go to. You could guess that I'm not found of Mr.West. Matter of fact,no one was. Mr west was a bald,thin,scarecrow of a man with a poochy stomach. Think of a pregnant George Washington,with no hair or teeth and you get the picture. He also looks like he's three hundred years old. At least. It was the second time this month I'd been called into his office for something someone else had done to me. He's big on punishing both,offender and victim. "This is the second time this month youv'e been called into my office",he asked looking at me with his half closed eyes,"Is that right Mr.Allen?" The other thing about West was that he liked to ask questions he already knew the answer to. I was never sure weather or not to answer. He knew the answer and I knew the answer,so really,what was the point? Bottom line,this was the second time I'd been locked in my locker by Trent Morgan and his posse,George and Tim. The had put me in upside down and I'd nearly past out before the custodian had found me and taken me here. Trent was like a year older than Tristan. He'd been held back so many times that he had a mustache,license and his own car,a sweet 1992 Toyota Supra GT with a slick flame decal. He sometimes called himself the "Jackal",since both he and the animal prey on smaller mammals(or in my case,reptiles). Trent had biceps the size of Florida oranges and was not afraid to use them. Actually he loved to use them. His dream is to fight in the Octagon,where he can pound people and get paid for it. "Is that right Mr Allen?" I bit my forked tougne,thought for a minute and then said,"But sir,it's not my fault,there were three of them and there a lot bigger than me,a lot bigger." Now I know what your thinking,"Your a dragon,you have fangs,claws and can breathe fire,why do you put up with them? Because I'm in hiding. If your now wondering,how d you go to school with out getting caught,four words,Tristan is a genius. He'd somehow rigged an old cell phone to work as a kind of cloaking device. I can't really explain how it works. My hope for sympathy had been met by West's infamous stare of death,really,it was like it was pricing my soul. You've got to see it before you understand. Last quarter,we were studding Greek Mythology and we got to the part about Medusa,you know,creepy woman with snakes for hair that can turn people to stone by looking into their eyes? Maybe it had something to do with being a dragon,but I blurted out"Must be West's great grandmother." Everyone had gone nuts with laughter,except for west,who'd picked that exact moment to walk into class. I'd spent a four weeks in after school detention for that. But it wasn't all bad,because I was safe from Trent and his posse,who somehow never got sent to detention,no matter how many kids they shoved into their lockers or lunchroom garbage cans. Anyway,that had officially landed me on Mr.West's trouble maker list. "Mr.Allen,you can not be stuffed into your locker without your consent,you should have resisted." "But I tried sir,I said still biting my tougne a bit. "Not hard enough,West said. "Now,what are the names of these boys who allegedly shoved you into your locker?" West wagged his pen impatiently infornt of me. "I'm waiting Mr.Allen,he said,their names?" There was absolutely no way I was going to tell him. One,he already knew who had done it. Everyone knew that Trent put more kids than books into lockers. Second,ratting out Trent was the quickest way to death,no matter what you were. I just looked at Mr.West,biting on my tongue. "Stop biting your tongue and answer my question." "I can't tell you,I finally said. "Can't or won't?" Pick one,I thought. "Won't." Mr.West continued to stare at me through those half closed eyes of his. After a while,he stopped wagging his pen. "I'm sorry to hear that,that means you'll have to take their punishment as well,the week in after school detention." Like I said,big on punishing all involved. He signed a tardy excuse note and handed it to me. "Give that to your teacher,you can go back to class now." I didn't answer as I turned and left. I walked slowly down the long vacant halls. The hall way was lined with posters for the football team,booster clubs and that sort of thing. I got my backpack from my locker and went to class. Last period for me was biology. My teacher,Mr.Smith,was a huge pumped up guy with short,spiky black hair was in the middle of lecturing and stopped mid sentence at my entrance. "Glad you could join us Seth,he said sounding only the least bit annoyed. One good thing about him was that he knew your name and it took a lot to get on his bad side,which is why he was one of the few teachers that I actually liked. "Sorry,I said,I was at the office. Mr.West said to give this to you." I handed him the note. he took it without looking and said,"Sit Seth,were reviewing for tommorw's test." Every eye in the class followed me back as I walked to my desk. I sat in the back row behind Josh. "How did it go,Josh whispered. "Brutal",i said as a frown crossed my muzzle. As I sat down,Shelby West,who sat in the desk to my left,turned and smiled at me. Shelby was one of the prettiest girls at school. Heck,she's one of the prettiest girls in any high school anywhere. She has a face that could be on the cover of beauty magazine,long,bright blond hair and bright,sky blue eyes. Since I'm being completely honest here,I'll admit that I had a crush on her from the very beginning. It took me less than a day to realize that so did every other boy at school. Shelby was always nice to me. At first,I had hoped it was because she liked me,but really she's just one of those people whose nice to everyone. Nice or not,it doesn't matter. She's way out of my league,like a million miles out of my league. I've never told anyone about that crush,not even Tristan,Jack,DJ or Josh,who I told everything. After a half hour of complete boredom,the final bell rang. "Ya'll can go,Mr.Smith said,remember to study." Josh and I walked out of the classroom. "What happened with the office business,Josh asked,did Trent get nailed?" "No I replied shaking my head,I did." Josh raised his eyebrow,"For getting shoved into your own locker?" "Yeah",I replied "West is a tool." "No kidding,I replied. "Want to come over and play Forza Motorsports,Josh asked. 'Can't,I said,got detention."I'll knock on your door when I get home." "See you then man,Josh said as he went for his car. The hallways were filled with kids as i walked with my pack down to the lunch room. Ms.Johnson,my new English teacher had just been assigned to supervise detention,she was really nice,which I hoped meant she might let us go early. I walked up to her,she saw me coming and marked my name off the roll,motioning for me to go ahead and pick a table. The smell of lunch still lingered in the air,which for me,was a punishment of it's own. I was holding my paw over my nose and trying to rid my snout of the hideous odor. I could also hear the workers behind the meat screens preparing for tommorow's disaster. There were three other kids in detention,two boys and a girl. Even without my cloaker up,I'd be the only one who didn't look like a homicidal psychopath. I was not about to get near any of them,so I sat in the table in the corner that always seemed to be empty. I hated being in detention,but at least today it wouldn't be a total waste of time because I needed to study for the biology test. As I got my books from my pack,I noticed that my shoulder still hurt a bit. I tugged on my shirt to reveal a dark red scrape right above my left wing. Fortunately,I'd gotten my paws out of the way just as they'd slammed the locker shut. They were cracked and sore from working on the GTO as it was. I wondered if anyone would call my parents about what happened,I hoped not because it'd only make things worse. I try to keep my snout out of places it doesn't belong and telling on Trent and his gang is one of those places. Just twenty minutes into detention,Ms.Johnson said,"All right,that's enough. Time to go." I scooped my books into my bag and left before anyone could ask questions. Outside the cafeteria,the halls were empty expect for the janitorial crew that were pushing the large brooms through the tiled corridors. I stopped at my locker to grab the beef jerky I'd stowed after lunch and been looking forward to all day. I peeled back it's wrapper and took a delicious bite. Whoever had invented the stuff was a genius,I started to purr just a little bit as I chewed on it. I loved it just as much as I loved cars. I slung my pack over my shoulder,lad to finally be going home. I had just come around the corner of the school when Trent and his gang emerged from behind two dumpsters. Jack grabbed me by the shirt and my jerky fell into the dirt. "You ratted us out to West didn't you." Trent commanded. He locked his gaze with mine,"I didn't tel him anything,I said. "yeah right you little chicken,Trent barked as he shoved me backwards into a rose bush. It's thorns poked holes into my wings and it hurt like crazy,the only reason I didn't end up looking like a sponge was because of the harder than diamond scales that covered most of my body. "Your going to pay",Trent said pointing at me,"big time." Trent turned to George,who was just as tall and beefy as he was,but a lot more sane. "Show him what we do to snitches". "I didn't tell on you,I said,"I'm not lying!" Before I could climb up,George pulled me out of the bush and threw his fist into my eye. I saw a bright flash and could feel it start to swell. I put my paw over it,trying not to lose my balance. "Hit him again,Trent barked. The next fist landed on the end of my snout. It hurt like crazy and I could feel the blood start to run down my muzzle. Then Trent walked up,placed both hands on my shoulders and kneed me right in the chest,expelling every bit of air I had. I fell to my knees,trying to get a breath. My eyes were watering. "He's crying like a baby,George said joyfully,cry baby cry." Then came Tim. He was the smallest of the bunch at only six two,and it seemed to me that he thought his height left him with the most to prove. "Let's pants him,Tim said. By pants he meant to pull off my pants,the ultimate act of humiliation. Last year,Tim had pantsed a friend of Joshes and Tristan had beat the crap out of him. Something both Josh's friend and Tim had never been able to live down. "Yeah,George said,that'll teach him to mess with us!" "No,I shouted standing up,I didn't tell on you!" "Leave him alone,a voice called. Shelby was standing alone near the school door,dressed in her blue and gold cheer leading outfit. 'Hey check out the cheerleader,George said. "Your just in time to watch us pants this guy,Tim said. "Yeah shake those palm-palms,Trent said laughing like a maniac,"GRAB HIM!" Before I could even try to get away,all three of them grabbed me. Despite the fact that my nose was bleeding and I could barely see out of one eye,I had to resist or they'd kill me. I swung at Trent's head,my sore paw landing only a dull thud. Trent respond by thumping me on my snout. "Come on you whimps,he screamed at his goons,"you can't hold this runt?" They pinned me face down,the weight of all three of them crushing me into the grass. "Stupid little nerd,Tim said,you think you can rat on us and not pay?" I tried to curl up so they couldn't take my clothes,but they were a lot stronger than I was,Trent pulled on my shirt untill it began to tear. "You leave him alone,Shelby shouted,or I'll go get Mr.Smith,he's right inside!" I think we all knew that he wasn't,or she would have just gotten him in the first place. "Shut your damn mouth",Trent barked,"or you'll be next." Hearing him talk to Shelby that way made me very angry. "Shut your mouth thug,I said,trying my best not to snarl and give myself away. "You need manners runt,Trent replied. "And you need mouthwash." Trent responded by throwing his fist onto my snout,sending a wave of pain through my body. Something inside my body snapped,the dragon underneath the hologram wanted so badly to bring out his claws and defend himself,I knew I couldn't hold back much longer. "Let me go,I shouted,I'm warning you." "OH,Tim said,he's warning us!" "Whatca gonna do,George sneered,cry on us?" "No,Trent said laughing like a maniac,he's gonna wipe his nose on us!"Tim laughed. He pulled off my sneakers while George began tugging at my shorts,I was still trying to curl up. "Stop struggling",Trent barked,"or were gonna take everything you got and make you streak home!" "Leave him alone!" Shelby shouted stepping forward. "Tim",George said,hurry up and pull his pants off!" As I once again tried to curl up,Trent kicked me in the waist. I could feel my cloaker shatter from his kick. At the exact moment it gave out and my Anthro Dragon form was revealed,a surge ran through me that was so powerful,I broke,and spit a ball of fire into them. The crackling sound filled the air,Trent and his gang fell to their backs as I rolled on to my back and wiped the blood from my muzzle with the back of my paw and pulled my self up. I looked at them,laying in the dirt with looks of pure fear on their faces. I hissed and snarled at them as my claws came out and I bared my fangs,also spreading my wings a bit to make myself look bigger than I was and ingrain the fear as deeply into them as I could. "Whh..whh..WHAT ARE YOU!" Trent stuttered. "I AM A DRAGON",I roared,spitting a jet of flame into the air. I stood over Trent,who had a look of pure fear in his eyes. "That was only a small one,I roared at him,"I CAN DO SO MUCH WORSE!" "NO PLEASE",Trent begged. "If you ever touch me again,I'll do much worse,or would you like more?" I raised my paw,ready to deliver a kill blow. "NO PLEASE,"Trent begged,terror was evident in his eyes. I looked around at his gang,they' were staring at me with wide eyes,I could tell they feared for their lives,and they had good reason. "The next time you bully anyone,I snarled,I'll do worse than you can even imagine." As they got up and ran off,I walked over to my shattered cloaker,"Hopefully Tristan can fix it,I muttered under my breath. Then I remembered Shelby,I looked back at the door,hoping she'd gone in,she hadn't. The look on her face told me she'd seen everything. Bad news,very bad news,my parents were going to kill me. I scooped up my pack and ran for home. By the time I got back home,my eye was nearly swollen shut. I set my pack on the table,took out my bottle of fire starter and went into the bathroom. I threw off my shirt,witch was covered in my blue blood,and inspected my wings and head. My wings looked lik I'd lost a fight with a hole puncher and my eye looked like a plum. There was no hiding my injuries from my parents. I got into the shower and cleaned the blood off my snout and wings as well as my eye. My parents wouldn't be home til six,and it was four now,so I had two hours to myself. I warped my sore paws and then got some of the leftover steak out of the fridge,throwing it into my mouth and eating it without even bothering to heat it up. I sat down on the couch and held my wing over my eye as I played Forza Motorsports 3. I should have been studding for my test,but after a day like this,I just didn't have it in me. I really didn't want to talk to Mom and Dad about my day. So when I heard the key in the door,I quickly shut off my Xbox and ran to my room,shutting the door,tuning out the lights and crawling into bed. "Seth",I heard my Dad call. Twenty seconds later,I heard my Dad yell. "What the?" I knew he'd found my blood stained shirt. There was a soft knock on my door. "Seth,My Dad asked as he and Mom entered. "Son,are you okay?" I pretended to be asleep,but they didn't buy it. Dad turned on my bedroom light and I quickly hid my snout under my paws. "Seth",Mom asked softly,"what are you doing in bed?" "I don't feel well,I said curling up."What's worng son?" Dad asked. I didn't answer,I only wished I could curl up further. "Son,Dad said,his voice was soft,but firm,"look at me." "I don't want to,I replied with a whimper. "Son",Dad said softly,"look at me." Reluctantly,I turned to face my parents. My Mom's eyes went wide when wide when she saw my condition. "What happened my Dad asked as he and Mom sat beside me. I put my head on Mom's lap and let my ears flop back,a sign of pain.A lump came into my throat,"Trent and his freinds jumped me." "Oh honey",Mom said beging to stroke my neck. The lump in my throat grew bigger,"They..smashed my cloaker." Nither of my parents said anything,I felt like I betrayed them. "What did you do son",Dad asked stroking my back,"did it,happen?". "I...I...I couldn't crontrol myself Dad,I said strarting to cry,"I fought back,I tried not to,but they were trying to pull my shorts off." There was another pause. "Stupid boys",Mom said to herself. "They had it coming son,Dad said. I began to cry even harder,as much form the pain as it was from the feeling that I'd betrayed my parents by exposing myself,"Why won't they just leave me alone,I sobbed,the tears running down my muzzle. Mom kissed my forehead as Dad continued to stroke my back. "I wish I knew Seth,Mom said,I wish I knew."
