Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

We arrived at school with five minutes to spare. We got our books and made it to class with two minutes to spare and Ms. Peterson does another presentational update on things we've learned during the year before finals. We continued our books, some paid attention, and others were doing stuff on their phones under their desk. Ms. Peterson never notices because she's always gets engaged with her presentations. She doesn't pay attention to what we're doing. One time she was doing a presentations and some of the class were making out because there were a lot of couples in first period and she didn't notice anything because she always had her back to us. There was a knock at the door when Ms. Peterson opened the door Alice decided to peek in the room. "Yes ma'am what can I help you with." Ms. Peterson asked before Alice can answer I got to the door "What do you want now Alice?" Ms. Peterson turned towards me "Ms. Black do you know this woman?" I looked at Ms. Peterson before turning back to Alice "Ms. Davenport here has claimed to be my grandmother even though I've never seen nor have I ever met her before." after telling Ms. Peterson about Alice I close the door on Alice. Ms. Black explain yourself. Why would you close the door on your grandmother?" I heard Damian sigh then he came over to me "Tell me Ms. Peterson would you believe it everytime someone said they were related to you? Especially when they arrive the same day your parents die. Only an hour after your parents are killed in an explosion after the collide with a drunken Tanker Truck driver. Oh sorry did we forget to mention that." I said pissed before we put our stuff away. Just as we finished putting our stuff in our bags the bell rings signaling the end of class. When we exit not only was Alice and Arthur there they had friends with them. I walked with Damian and Emily. We all walked to Damian's history class since its on the way to the gym. Me and Emily enter the gym and head into the locker room and got changed. When we left the locker room there she was I clenched and unclenched my fist. Emily got close "What's with the old lady that claims to be your grandma?" I look towards her and away from Alice "Do you know her Emily?" I asked all she did was shake her head. "She said her name was Alice Davenport. What about her name?" I asked and again Emily shakes her head. "Line up." Coach said as everyone walked over. "Alright we didn't get everyone on the rope climb yesterday. We got a few of you close to ringing the bell except for one of you. Iris Black step up." Coach Evans called out so I stood and walked over to him. "You were the only one so far in second period to do the rope climb and ring the bell." Evans said lowering to my ear "Your brother rang the bell too." Evans whispering ing my ear. I laughed at what he said "Coach if you think I could do it have you seen my brother's physique? So of course he's gonna be able to ring that bell." I said Coach Evans could stop his laugh from coming. "Well being the only one so far to ring the bell you're gonna decide what the activity you'll all be doing today." Coach Evans said getting a few boos from a group of boys. "Hey Troy I don't know why you're booing you didn't even get... what would you say six feet off the ground before cowering like a little bitch." I said coach put a hand on my shoulder "School isn't a place for that language." coach said but I noticed he's trying to hide his smile. "Isn't cussing cause for a write up." Troy tried to point out "Oh like you're the one to talk. Cussing in damn near every class you're in?" I asked with a smirk. "If you want since you're on the school's basketball team with my brother why don't you and I have a one-on-one right now since you want to complain so much right now how about about I make you whine like a little bitch when I kick you ass." I said getting in Troy's face. "Your on just don't go crying to your dear twin brother of how you lost." Troy said making me smirk before giving my comeback "Just don't go crying to dear old daddy how you lost to a girl." I said and sure enough I won with a score of twenty to six. I walk up to Troy on his hands and knees. "I told you what was going to happen." I turned towards the class sitting in the bleachers "Didn't I? I warned him he was going to lose to me." I noticed Alice and Arthur was also in the bleacher smiling. I'm not sure why but seeing them smiling at me made me feel good. Actually it made me feel great. I don't know why but I smiled back at them. I heard the gym doors bust open and didn't know not who but what it was. Alice and Arthur turn just in time to see whatever it was blast something at me and sends me flying into and knocking Troy over and back onto the ground before I crash into the concrete brick wall and cough up blood after sliding to the ground. That thing came right in front of me. I saw Alice stand up and Arthur grab her before whispering something in her ear. She squeezes his hand which tells me that I'm on my own. I look at whatever this thing is as it slowly comes closer and I start to remember what I've been through in the past twenty four hours then a wave of anger started to flow through me and it went from anger to rage. All of a sudden I felt like my body was on fire but I was too busy staring this thing down with my rage to care. It took a step back when I used the wall for support as I start to get to my feet. When I got up I turn towards the thing that attacked me. My body started to go from feeling like it was on fire to like I was the fire. I heard pops and cracks then they stopped but I don't care where they came from. When I took a step forwards I stumbled before finally noticing I wasn't on two feet anymore. I noticed I was on four white paws I inspected my body. My body is covered completely in white fur and wonder what exactly am I? I don't know then I remember the think was still in front of me. I turn towards it and then I heard a growl. The growl made me look to see where it came from then I had the realization it came from me. I took a step toward the thing that decided to attack the wrong girl while in the wrong mood. When it turned to ditch it gave me the opening to pounce and sink my claws in its back. When it landed on the gym floor the weight of my current form made it let a horride screech. I scooted back shaking my head unable to stand the noise. I jumped back onto it and sank my fangs in its neck and unable to stop myself. I ripping out it's throat before spitting out the cartlage I ripped out. For some reason I howled in the air with one of my front paws on its head. "Iris!" I hear my name called out causing my ears to pop up. I see Damian coming close. "Damian get away from her." Arthur called out but Damian walked right up to me. I nuzzled the side of Damian's head. "Come on Iris lets go get you cleaned up." Damian said with a hand on my neck before leading me into the girls locker room shower. He grabbed a washrag before he got it wet and washed my muzzle and parts of my neck while he did that all I did was watch him clean my fur. After Damian was done he took me to my bags. "Ok Iris you're so cool. I love your white fur." Damian said while running a soothing hand through my fur making me lightly wag my tail and calmimg me down. I hear the sound of pops and cracks again but this time I found out where it came from earlier expectly since I could feel them this time. I squeezled my eyes closed as I screamed out in pain. When I opened my eyes I look down to see my human hands before feeling a jacket get drapped over my shoulders and realized it's Damian's too large for me jacket but at this time its perfect because it covers up my entire body. "Thanks Damian." I said I look up to see him grabbing my gym bag and pulled out the outfit I wore to school before he started to help me get dressed by passing me an artical of my clothes when I'm done putting on the prior piece of clothing until I'm fully dressed. Damian helps me walk out of the locker room because I still hurt from the changing of forms.
