Cruella sat a the lobby waiting to be called into the principals office. She had already prepared for what's to come. She only felt sorry her mom would have to look for another school for her this semester.
"But seriously, I don't get why she's putting me in a school now.I've been home schooled for 13 years." she thought while playing with her fingers.
"Cruella , you may come in." the principal called and almost immediately, Melissa walked out. She glared at Cruella as she walked away.
"My guess, she must have told the principal every lie that Could come out of her bitchy mouth." Cruella scoffed as she rose from her seat, going into the principals office.
"You may take a seat." the principal said the moment she entered, she could already feel hard lumps forming down her throat.
"Mr principal before you start scolding me."
"I didn't call you here to scold you". The principal cut in, "and my name is Bradson." he added .
"Oh." Cruella said a bit confused , pausing for a moment. "Principal Bradson I swear whatever Melissa said is a lie."She started again. "I never started the fight honestly. I only got mad when they insulted my mother, I."
"Cruella that's enough,"Bradson cut in. "This is your 3rd school this semester, expelling you won't do you no good and I doubt you'd be accepted into another school till next semester so I'm doing you a favor."
"Wh-what favor?" she asked tilting her head.
"I'm placing you under a guardian from now on. He will make sure you behave your best while at this school. He will also report any troubles you cause and that will only earn you nights of detention."
"But I don't get it, why not just expel me?"
"Do you want your mother to get hurt again?" he asked and she shook her head negatively.
"Good then, I'm also being kind to the fact that you're a serious students. Keep up with the straight A's miss Cruella, your mother will be so proud."
"Can I go now?" she asked not wanting to be engaged in any principal-student discussion.
"Yes you may leave." he said and she instantly left his office.
"What I'm I twelve? I don't need a baby sitter." She complained as she walked over to her locker. She angrily stuffed her books in and and headed for the library. "I might as well skip the rest of the class today. Not like I'm missing much."
She passed by the clinic on her way and saw Maggie and Linda lying helplessly on the bed. Maggie had bandages round her torso and she laid there still unconscious while Linda held an ice pack on her face.
She couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. "That actually serves them right." she smirked.

(D'VILA'S RESIDENCE)
"How was school bab?"Nila asked as Cruella came through the front door.
"Mom I don't get why you send me to schools to get bullied and expelled for defending myself." Cruella complained.
"You got expelled again?" Nila asked carrying a sad expression.
"No, I didn't, but I did get bullied."
"I'm sorry sweetie, do you need me to report to your principal?"
"No need, he already handled everything."
"Really?" Nila raised a brow.
"Yes, he assigned me to a guardian, like I need one." she said rolling her eyes while searching the fridge for her favorite juice.
"That doesn't sound so bad, it might actually help you."
"I'm not a fucking baby, I don't need a stupid guardian!" she snapped.
"Ella language!" Nila yelled.
"Sorry mom, I'll just go and freshen up".She said and immediately ran upstairs.
Nila let out a sigh of relief. She was happy Bradson didn't let her down and also wondered who he had in mind for Cruella. She worried daily that Cruella's power might start taking over but to her surprise she's almost sixteen and nothing has happened.
"Maybe sending her to a public school isn't a bad idea after all. I just pray I'd be ready to tell her everything and she'll be able to accept it when the time is right."

(Black forest)
"Please Daven, the girl needs guidience or she might be our worst nightmare." Elsa pleaded
"My father died in a war with the Irish 500 years ago. We've been enemies for centuries and your asking me to help an Irish ? All I want to do is rip her apart and avenge my father!" Daven snapped.
"But what about Palena's vision? She says if we reunite, we would be unstoppable."
"Reunite? You expect me to unite with the very creatures that took my family away!" Daven half yelled. He's obviously loosing his temper.
"She didn't take your family away, her people did, she's just an innocent creature." Elsa defended.
"If she's so innocent, then why are you coming to me for help?"
"Because of Palena's vision. Every creatures will be after her once they sense her powers. Everyone thought the Irish were extinct,if they should feel her presence, they'll hunt her down.She's only a child , please Daven."
"She should have been killed at birth, according to the law. Why did you save her? you put her in this mess so get her out yourself." Daven said and in an instant, he was gone.
After some seconds, the frozen fight scene came back to life but Cecilia sensing his presence stopped an inch before she could reach Elsa. The wolves stopped as well. Actually the wolves are a part of Cecilia. That's her power. She could transform into as many wolves as possible and still be in her human form. That was why she was made guardian of the gates, that way intruder's would be long gone before they can even say the word 'Balen'.
"I'm guessing you've gotten your audience, now leave!" she hissed at Elsa.
Lucia looked at them confused, she wondered why Cecilia suddenly withdrew her attack. She's a human amongst supernatural beings. Elsa gave a weak sigh and walked away with Lucia following behind.

(Montena High school)
"Cruella." Pedro called trying to catch up with her. "Hey slow down already." He complained, pulling her back with one arm.
"What do you want Pedro?" she asked bluntly , not sparing him a glance.
"Gee it's nice to see you too, that's no way to say hi to your bestfriend."He rolled his eyes.
"I never asked you to be my best friend, you gave yourself that title."She scoffed.
"Okay fine sorry, but what happened yesterday?, I didn't see you in class,also heard you got into a fight with the MLM'S."
"So you've heard then. Look I'm not in a good mood right now so keep your questions." she said and turned hastily to walk out but ended up bumping into something hard causing her books to fall down.
"Can't you watch where you're going!" she yelled at the guy standing while she bent to pick her books.
"Me? you're the one who bumped into me , red haired." he retorted.
"Red haired?" she paused , taking a minute to look up at the dwip who called her red haired. She froze at the sight before her, instantly regretting yelling at this perfect being before her, is he even human?.His silky black long hair gloriously placed on each side of his shoulder, those long lashes batting like the wings of a butterfly and those sky blue eye, staring at her or more like glaring because of her outburst.Their eyes locked for a brief moment. They were both shocked to see each other.On Cruella's case, she couldn't believe such a perfect being could be so annoying and on his case, he couldn't believe a beautiful lady like her could have such temper.
"Your big mouth and bad temper is gonna get you killed reddy."He scoffed and walked away.
"Hey wait up you dwip!." Cruella yelled and ran after him , leaving Pedro staring at them in shock. "You owe me an apology!" she half yelled trailing behind him.
"For what?." he asked not sparing her a glance.
"You're a rude dwip!.How can you hit a lady and not apologize?"
"Well clearly you're not a lady but a savage animal with big mouth so I don't need to apologise."He retorted causing Cruella to boil.
It seems they were both headed for the principals office so the discussion or should I say argument was cut short.They both barged into his office unknowingly and finally realized their action when Bradson frowned at them.
"I never remembered asking you two to come in!" he scolded.
"Forgive me sir, I had a loud mouth to take care of." Jason said.
"Loud mouth? Who are you calling loud mouth you oversized mouse." Cruella retorted.
"Silence you two!" Bradson yelled.
"well it's a good thing you've met each other so an introduction won't be needed anymore" he added.
They both looked at each other and then back at the principal in confusion.He sighed , talking off his glasses.
"Cruella meet Jason, your student guardian." Bradson said and Cruella's jaw dropped.
"No way!" They yelled simultaneously .
