Synopsis
Cruellla D'vila is a child brought and raised in the human world, living an ordinary life, unaware of her origin and abilities. To everyone, she is destruction. Her existence feared. She wasn't supposed to be born and so her mother had to cast a spell on her. Putting her to sleep for 500 years to protect her from other clans. SheΒ  grew up in a small town called Greenville. An average teenager who hated her simple yet complicated life; always getting into trouble, always being bullied in school and expelled whenever she defended herself from the bullies. She wished for a different life and indeedΒ  she got her wish granted the moment she discovered the truth. The simple life she once had was gone and now she faced an even bigger challenge. Now she's at the center of a new foreseen war between the four powerful clans , each fighting for dominance but with Cruella in their way, they must get rid of her to accomplish their agenda. This new life is even worse than her previous normal human lifestyle because now she's struggling to get use to these new powers, this new personality, falling in love with her guardian which is forbidden in their clan and preparing for a war which began even before her birth. But little did she know those are the least of her problems, little did she know her greatest threat hides in the shadows, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Who or what could possibly be her greatest threat? Will she be able to handle all these responsibilities? Or will she run back to the human world to seek refuge?

Chapter 1 - You can't run anymore

500 years ago

"Push Nila, push!" Palena, the oldest midwife and visionary shouted.

Nila tried as hard as her little strength could let her and finally she heard the cry of her baby.

"it's a girl." palena said , placing the baby in Nila's arms. She felt so relieved carrying her baby weakly in her arms. Palena came closer to the mother and child and almost immediately, the baby stopped crying and opened her eyes causing both the mother and palena to gasp.

"Grey!" Palena exclaimed, referring to the baby's eyes and carrying a sad expression.

Nila looked at the baby heartbroken. She knew what this means, she had given birth to an Irish. Her husband was the last living Irish, even her first son isn't an Irish.Β They called them Irish because they didn't have a definite description of their kind. They were more powerful than any hybrid , possessing both vampire, werewolf, witch and necromancer powers but the males weren't as powerful as the females. The female Irish were feared and killed at birth because they loose themselves to their powers and turn evil but even with the full knowledge of these, of the trouble that would surface if this child should live, Nila couldn't possibly kill her baby girl.

"Nila, give her to me." Palena said , stretching her arms

"I-how can I kill such an innocent creature?" Nila asked with tears running down her cheeks.

"This innocent creature is very dangerous, we need to get rid of her now before it's too late."

"She's my daughter! She won't cause any trouble."

"How do you know that?, Palena cut in , you've seen countless women kill their children, why should yours be different?"

"Cause I'm the queen!"

(PRESENT TIME)

Black forest is the home of the Balen's, the second most powerful creatures that exit.Β 

They got their name from their powers, possessing both witch and werewolf powers.

"Elsa are you sure about this? What if the plan doesn't work?" A scared Lucia askedΒ 

"What other choice do we have? Our queen needs our help and Balen's are our only choice. "

The two friends slowly entered the forest and not long after they entered, they were surrounded by Balen wolves.Β 

"What do you want ? I thought I warned you never to come back here!" Cecilia half yelled

"This is our home too!" Elsa retorted

"This stopped being your home when you betrayed us!"

"I had to help her, she's my sister!"

"You helped her break a law that's been ongoing for ages. Leave this place at once!" Cecilia yelled.

"I can't , not until I speak to Daven."

"And what makes you think he will agree to an audience with you?"

"He's the only one who can help. Palena had a vision about the last Irish.She saw Daven in."

"I don't care about your visions! leave now before I loose my temper!" Cecilia yelled showing off her fangs.

"Elsa please let's just go, I told you coming here was of no good,"Lucia begged but Elsa shook her head.

"No! We are not leaving till we see Daven."

"Well dear cousin, if it's a fight you want,then a fight you'll get!" Cecilia snapped and pounced on her but then everything froze except Elsa .She smiled victoriously as she knew whose doings this is

"What do you want Elsa?" Daven asked in a low tone.

(Montena's High school)

"Cruella!" Maggie yelled walking through the hallway.

"You can't hide forever, just come out already!" she yelled angrily.

Cruella hid quietly in the restroom, silently praying she won't be found.The restroom door flung open and she could here angry footsteps approaching her door.

"Cruella you can't run anymore, get out here now!" Maggie half yelled.

Cruella slowly opened the toilet door and walked out.

"Look who finally decided to join us."Linda scoffed.

"Look Maggie, I don't want any trouble, just leave me alone already." Cruella said in a low tone .

"Well you're in luck, cause we also don't want any trouble." Melissa pitched in.

Maggie, Linda and Melissa, also called the MLM's are known as the number one girl bullies in Montena high school. They usually pick on girls who are prettier, smarter, taller or just girls who gets more attention from the boys. And in Cruella's case, she's all of the above.She's also a freshman at Montena which makes it more fun to pick on herΒ 

"What do you want Maggie?" She asked calmly but shaking within. She's trying her best not to get into trouble in this new school or should I say 3rd new school this semester. She knew fighting these girls would only get her expelled as she was sure she would do them lots of damage and so she choose to run and hid like a coward. Anything to please her mom.

"You got an A in your English test again!" Maggie yelled.

"How is that a problem? Or do you want me to fail?"

"You're trying to make us look dumb right? Look freshman , in this school, we rule. So next time you try to play nerd with us,you'll regret it!" Maggie yelled and they all turned to Walk away.

"It's not like you're smart or anything." Cruella muttered but unfortunately they heard her.

"What did you just say?" Linda asked glaring at her.

Cruella shook her head taking backward steps as she knew what would happen next.

"Get her!" Maggie yelled while Melissa and Linda grabbed her. They draged her back into the toilet and shoved her head into it repeatedly.Cruella struggled, trying to break free and also avoid taking in any of the water into her system.They finally let her go and she coughed non stop , trying to catch her breath.They walked out of the toilet still dragging her along.

"Next time you try to act all tough, think twice princess!" Linda hissed.

"You and your retched mother don't belong in this town!" Maggie yelled.

Cruella felt a new level of anger rushed through her and in an instant, Maggie went flying and crashed on a wall, loosing consciousness immediately. She could tolerate anything else as long as it doesn't involve her mother and Maggie just crossed that line.Linda and Melissa stood frozen on the spot , not able to process what just happened.Cruella stood up still raging and grabbed Linda by the hair causing her to wince in pain.

"Don't you ever talk about my mother that way!" she screamed and slapped Linda hard several times , taking out her anger on her.She didn't notice Melissa running out of the toilet and in a minute she was back with a school teacher.

The school teacher also known as Mr Gibson gasped at the scene that welcomed him.

Linda was already crying like a baby with her red and swollen face while Cruella kept sending her endless slaps.

"Cruella!" Mr Gibson yelled causing her to halt. Yep she's definitely getting expelled again, she thought as she got off Linda.
