The next morning when they arrived at the clinic to get Eric before school they found him just finishing up sweeping the clinic office. The doctor loved that spirit of his and gave him two breakfast biscuits with cheese.
When the arrived at school Eric had to be tested to see which class he should start in so they went their separate ways. The testing was very simply and would be done in just a few minutes, he thought for sure nothing bad could happen in that short of time surely.
As she entered her class all the students were in the back of the class by where the bunny was placed whispering. She went towards her desk quietly hoping they wouldn't be mean to her today. However that was not destined to happen, because she heard her name being yelled out loud by Melissa the biggest girl in class.
"Evil one you did it you put a curse on the school bunny and now it's dead. Last night when I took it home and brought it back, it was fine. Now as you walk in it has died because of your evilness. Your beast possessed and should be stoned my mommy told me so. Die evil one die."
Then she grabbed some of the display stones and started to throw them at her and of coarse her multiple friends joined in. One large one hit her near her brow and blood begain to gush out luckily most hit lower and she curled into a ball on the ground to protect herself.
Just as the students begin to kick and hit her the teacher brought in Eric to join her class upon entering she stopped in shock at her students. Eric didn't he let out a roar of anger and scattered the student back away from her like a bowling ball hitting pins. They all went flying.
The teacher finally snapped out of it as Eric was hunched over Goldy like a protective shield. He screamed at them to never touch or hurt her again or he would kill them all. The teacher grabbed hold of Eric and ask the class what had happened. Almost all looked towards Melissa to help them out. Some were hiding in the far corners.
Melissa came forward and told the teacher that Goldy had killed the class bunny and threatened to curse them all next. Melissa family was kin to the capital royalty so she was use to threatening and twisting words to favor her. The teacher knew a little about it from gossip but was still afraid of her family.
Goldy got up and said," I did no such thing, Melissa just said that and told th class to stone me cause her momma said I was beast possessed." This was of coarse was one of the worst remarks one could accuse a person of being. If proven it meant a public execution by stoning and fire.
"Eric can you take Goldy to her father to get checked out and Melissa you go to the office and wait till I get there. Your accusation is very dire and can not be stated without definitive evidence, if you are lying you will receive a horse penalty as well," stated the teacher whose name was Penny.
Penny pulled student outside the door one by one but most just stated what Melissa had said. Some said they were,to scared to talk and wanted to go home. Two broke down crying and told what had happened but she knew that under pressure that they probably just turn into crying messes.
The principal arrived with Melissa in tow with a mad look in his eye and a frawn. Penny could see he was exstreamly angry and tryed to steal herself for the storm coming.
"Mis. Penny what is going in on in your classroom this student claims that she saw another student kill the school bunny with a curse and threatened the rest to do the same. Why did you send this child to my office instead of the student that killed the bunny and made such threats to your students."
Principal Zerniak that is not exactly what happened and the one that supposively threatened the others had to be sent to the doctors office because Melissa told them to stone her and they did so.
When I came in about half the class were in the process of hitting and kicking the poor child. Eric my new student that just arrive splits them apart and stopped the beating thankfully." "Yes, Melissa told me she was bruised by some kind of brute because he shoved her for no reason.
I expect you, Mis.Penny to tell those two students that they are suspended until we have fully investigated this incident. So in addition dismiss class for the day so their parents can get them checked out for injuries.
Tonight I expect you to write a apology to all the parents for your inability to manage your class responsibly. Melissa you may go home as well and please apologize on my behalf to your parents please.
By the time Goldy and Eric had arrived at the doctors office she was mostly healed by her innate ability. However she couldn't help but to start crying when she saw her father. He looked her over carefully but only found rapidly fading bruises. Even that cut on her head was fading away to flawless skin.
He had her wear a coat hood up and so it partly covered her face and told Eric to take her home quickly and to try to keep her healed wounds covered if they could. So the hurried home to Amelia her momma who upon hearing the story wanted to go to the school and defend her honor.
Goldy said," no I need you here Goldy suddenly was afraid to be alone." She feared for some reason that her new momma would never come back and broke into uncontrollable sobs. Eric climbed onto the bed and pulled her tight hugging her tight as the sobbing seemed to tear at he's heart.
Amelia in turn hugged them both until finally her sobbing stopped and when she looked she saw her baby girl and Eric were sleeping soundly. She got up to get Some comfort food ready for when they woke and decided what to do.
That night the teacher came to tell them what had happened and to apologize for having to suspend them from coming to school pending a investigations. "That's fine here is a letter to the principle please deliver it to him with my regards."
Letter delivered the principle had a smug look upon his face as he opened it, It read as follows: Hello Principle Zerniak, today my daughter was brutally attacked by her fellow students due to the instigation of one Melissa Zorn. Now.
I know Melissa is a second cousin of the royal family and part of our small community controlling family but this does not allow her to harm my child without fair punishments to both sides. I expect you to suspend all involved in if you do not do your duty I will have to remind you of the following.
My husband was once the king personal physician and I am the king niece as well so who's side do you think could pull more weight from the king. So to finalize I expect you to do your job the right way and fairly, Thank You, Amelia Trueborn
P.S. I will homeschool my child because it's appearant that your school can not do its job.
