Part 4: No More
Bright, harsh sunlight hit my face.
As I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed I was
not that comfortable. Plus, things did not smell
the greatest. I freaked out once I realized I was outside.
I had slept out there all night. That means, I am miles away
from the house, I lost control and I have got to get
to school. I leaped from the tree and ran as fast
as I could. I was already five minutes late to school.
I shot a text to my parents saying I was okay, threw
on fresh clothes, a hat and headed out the door. Dad's truck
was still here. He probably figured I stayed out all night.
He probably also knew I would be a little late.
I love my parents.
I cranked the old vehicle and skidded out the drive.
I am surprised I did not get a ticket. I whipped the truck
into a parking spot and ran to the door. Once I got to
the door, it was locked. I then saw a small sticky note that
said, "You should have been here on time
Constantine," it read.
It looked like Rebecca's writing. I was not in the mood.
Especially after my night. I felt my heart began to race.
According to time, everyone was in the middle of 1st period.
It would be a while till the bell rang. It would also be a while before
anyone saw me at the door.
I had to get in. I slowly backed up and ensured nobody
was looking. I ran towards the door and kicked one in.
I then picked up the door and put it back. Whoever came in
next, would be blamed for breaking it. I headed straight to first period.
I quietly opened the door and sat in the back.
It was dead silent. Rebecca and Elizabeth already glared at me.
"Crap," I thought to myself. I completely forget about
my history final. With it being the end of the year, it was time for finals.
Luckily, I am an intelligent student. Especially the fact I have over a
thousand different molecules and pieces of DNA in me.
I never failed a quiz or a test.
I finished my exam right before the bell rang.
It was lunch time. I went to the line to fix my tray.
I could smell someone coming up behind me. It was Mason.
He bumped into me and said, "What happened CONSTANTINE,
did someone miss there little alarm this morning," he mockingly asked.
I ignored him; I did not even look. He got mad and then
stamped on my foot, this made me trip. I tripped and
spilt all my food all over me. My heart began to race so fast,
I got up and ran to the bathroom. I needed to calm down.
Out of all places, I could not have an episode here.
There was only one person that knew how to calm
me down. I left the bathroom and was headed to Mr. Connors
building. I sensed again, someone coming. Mason.
I kept on my way and Mason yelled behind me, "Hey, you
might want to invest in some perfume cause you smell and look
like a wet dog," he angrily said.
That was it. My heart began to
pound out of my chest. I felt my veins begin
to pop out. I began to tell myself, red eyes, no
change. Red eyes, no change.
When I turned around, his mouth dropped open.
His face turned white. As I walked fast toward him,
he said nothing nor moved. I had seen this a thousand
times. It is when your prey gets so terrified, they are unable
to move. I saw it the most in deer, but never a person.
As I got closer, I grabbed him by his collared shirt
and picked him up off the ground. I carried him to
a corner and slammed him up against the wall. I stared
into his eyes harder than I do with my prey.
I then dropped him to the floor and left.
All i could think of was, I need Mr. Connor.
I had no idea what I looked like nor what Mason saw.
I reached for the entrance of Mr. Connor's door and
as I opened it, I accidentally broke the door off.
"Great, I thought to myself." I began to frantically knock-on
Mr. Connor's office door. When he opened the door,
he looked at me and automatically pointed to the track.
He knew if anything would calm me down, it had to
involve movement. I was already in sweats, so I began to run.
As I ran, he asked what happened. "I just couldn't take any
more harassments. Mason tripped me in the cafeteria
and told me I smelt like wet dog," I yelled.
Mr. Connor then asked, "So what did you do, "I ensured he saw
the wet dog and got a good whiff of me," I said. He shook his head,
rubbed his large hand threw his hair. "Well, I am sure he will never
mess with you again because your eyes were red. At that point I was
so fed up I could care less. "How am I supposed to protect you now CC?
You know the school can call authority and lock you up and not
in a humanely way," he said. "Then let them lock me up," I said.
After I calmed down, my eyes were back to
normal color. Mr./ Connor gave me hug and fresh
clean clothes. He firmly grabbed my arm and
said, "Limit eye contact and don't say a word," He never
hurt me. Sometimes he or my parents would grab me, but it
was to get my attention. Plus, like I said before, nobody could hurt me.
I headed for my locker and a note fell out. It read, "Principal’s
office." I thought to myself, "Great."
I headed to the principal’s office. I opened the door
and headed for a seat. The chair spun around, and my
heart dropped. It was Rebecca in the chair. The principle must
had gone out to lunch. Then Elizabeth entered the room and so did Mason.
The other kids joined in too. Of course, Mason now stayed far away.
"You must be punished for harming a student," Rebecca said. Mason's friends surrounded me and began to hit and kick me.
"NO MORE," I thought to myself. I allowed my heart to
beat faster and faster. I felt my hair rise. I let my body changed.
It changed super-fast. Right after I changed, the increase of my
body size and height threw all the boys off. The guys went flying
left and right. I leaped onto the principle's desk and got in
Rebecca's face. I roared louder than ever. I felt my eyes turn bloodshot red. Rebecca screamed in horror. I then turned around and did the same thing/ Everyone began to scream and head for the door.
I headed for the door, cut the lights, and pulled
the fire alarm. I then escaped by breaking through the window.
I wanted to hurt them, but I knew deep down it would not have
been right.
I was so boiled at that point I would not have
been able to stop. I made my way home. I leaped from the school
into the road right infront of a car. The car's horn almost deafened my
ears. I then made a dash in the woods to limit the amount of people who saw me. I finally made it home and headed to my special spot.
My heart began to slow down. My veins went down.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe in. My body
changed back into my human form. I did not worry about
getting in trouble because I was free. nobody would ever
mess with me again.
Besides if worst came to worse, we could
move. As i opened my blue eyes as a human I looked out at the
beautiful nature.
I no longer doubted who I was or what I
was. "I am human," I said.
