"You guys are being so silent, you must know something about what happened in the band room yesterday." Dr Carlos interrupted our fear again, his voice was like a knife hitting my throat.
"Um.." I didn't have any idea of what to say, and I was on high hopes that Tori would somehow cook up a story.
"Actually sir," I heard Tori finally speak. "The truth is, we were at the band room yesterday, but we didn't see anybody there except for this young girl." She gestured at the girl we rescued.
"Oh really? But Gema here told me that there were two female monsters in that room." Dr Carlos added.
"Th..they must have probably escaped when they heard us incoming." I immediately added, all I wanted to do at that point was to leave that room of discomfort.
"Oh, that should explain why the windows were shattered. So, I'm guessing the two sisters Lauren and Sandra, were the monsters right?" Carlos asked again.
The three of us then chorused in reply, "Yes sir."
The principal stared at us in a finicky manner, then he took his pen and grabbed his pad, and began scribbling. "Well, it's a miracle Tyl'l is still fertile. Gema, what kind of monsters were they?"
"I don't know what they were." Gema replied, shyly.
"But you must've gotten a good look at them, can you describe their features?"
"Huh... Um.. They had--"
As Gema was about to blow our covers, there was an instant knock on the door.
"You may come in." Dr Carlos gestured.
The woman who made an entrance into the principal's office was a beauty indeed. She had a face without any flaws and a soothing body shape. Her hair was blonde but yet as bright as the morning sun, she had emerald green eyes and they shone with all the power of a damsel. She wore a moderate dress, a wine-colored V-neck gown with floral design all around it, but the dress was not enough to conceal her beautiful body, she looked like one who was dressed with milk and furnished with gold. Surprisingly, since my schooling at Tyl'l High, I had never seen this staff around, was she an exchange teacher?
"Good day Dr Carlosss, I just came by to ask for the names of the ss-students whom I would be receiving the ss-statements from." Judging from the manner by which she spoke, it was easy to tell that she was a stammerer.
"Oh, it's such a coincidence, they are the ones sitting right beside you, I had to call them in for a few questions." Dr Carlos pointed at us. "I think I'm gonna have to release them over to you."
"You could give me a further notice if you're still busssy with them." The woman quickly suggested, but that only meant us being in more trouble.
"No, don't worry, you can go with them," The principal's gaze landed on us next. "I'll be addressing the three of you to Ms Ella, she'll take your statements as regards yesterday's accident."
Gema, Tori and I walked together in a file, as we followed Ms Ella to wherever she was taking us to. Suddenly, I felt like this issue was more of a jail offense than a simple case of vandalism. The school was now looking for two students, and that bounty could have been supposedly placed on our heads already. Additionally, we were about to confess our statements, like real criminals do.
"What are we gonna say." I asked Tori, who didn't seem fazed since the beginning.
"Exactly what we told Dr Carlos." She said, her stare focused hard on Ms Ella.
"Well, what if we were asked what kind of monsters again?"
"Werewolves, we'll simply tell her we saw werewolves, no description." She was still looking glaringly at Ms Ella.
"Why do keep staring at her in that manner?" I had to ask, though it wasn't supposed to be any of my business.
"I can sense something on her, smells like evil, we can't trust her."
Oh great, Tori was at it again, she had gotten so good at discerning humans from non-humans that she was now mistaking a human for evil. Ms Ella didn't seem like a person who would just turn evil all of a sudden, she was a beautiful teacher with a sweet smile and a super-fragrant cologne scent, super-fragrant.
"Just admit that you have a beef against her and stop judging her." I told her with lined up sterns on my face.
"A beef? Why the hell would I be keeping a malice with a staff I just met 5 minutes ago?"
I stared Northway, trying to ignore Tori's next expression. "I don't know, maybe that question is for you to answer!"
We were lead to the detention room, where I later realized that she was the detention staff. I didn't know why such a beautiful, light hearted woman could be obligated to watch over the bad kids, even the students under detention seemed happy to be in that class and they were strangely maximum in number. When we entered the class and the students beheld Ms Ella, they were all ranting about how much they had missed her since she left. And another odd thing was that there were only boys in that class, and there were about 20 of them.
Ms Ella returned their rantings with a smile and that smile alone made me want to be under detention, the class smelled like her perfume and the students couldn't be more free, there had the willpower to do anything they wanted supposedly because the beautiful teacher was their jailer.
"The three of you, come over here." She said to Gema, Tori and I when she adjusted herself comfortably on her chair.
She gave each of us a pen and a paper and told us to write our statements there, so I wrote exactly what we had explained to Dr Carlos. As I wrote, I could hear majority of the student as they complimented Ms Ella's beauty.
"She's tots like a fictional princess, so charming." They weren't wrong, the teacher was just like a picture, one that was created with time and focus. Her emerald green eyes was the spotlight of her natural charming physique and it made me want to write the truth in my statement.
Coincidentally, the three of us submitted our statements at the same time, but when we were about to leave, Ms Ella called Gema back. "Gema?" The little girl, as scared as she should've been, approached Ms Ella, for some reason, Tori didn't want to leave without this girl by her side. And for another unexplainable reason, I also didn't move.
"I thought you saw empusassss, why did you write werewolves?" Ms Ella asked Gema to my full surprise.
"H...how did sh..she--" It was at that moment that I realized why Tori had been scowling at her. I was about to exclaim when Tori slapped my arm.
"Don't."
I should've realized it also but I was too dumb and overshadowed by bizzare beauty, but this was no detention teacher.
Ms Ella was either a half blood or a monster.
