the monster within

school full of crazy people

Sara' s P.O.V.

I woke up and found myself in a field surrounded by people, most of them were unconscious on the ground, had we been drugged and kidnapped? I asked myself. Some people started groaning and waking. Up looking as confused as I was, the last thing I remember was I had gone in the kitchen to cook.

" Wake up imbeciles it's time to gather around, welcome to ROWS bitches." A girl with pale blue skin shouted and signaled us to follow her.

When we reached the assembly ground, a girl who looked 18 stood on the podium with a scowl on her face, beside her, a boy who looked like a shadow dragon stood, his shadow kept moving and changing shapes, it formed a hand like shape and tried to grab the girl's hair but she turned and caught the arm which solidified and squeezed it making the boy groan in pain, the she opened her mouth to speak

"Someone told me I had to give a speech to make the newbies feel better, well here goes... if you are here, it's because you have been rejected by the world or been deemed unfit to be with others, maybe you have control issues, or maybe you are a monster or a weirdo, maybe you were betrayed or maybe your parents just wanted to get rid of you" she paused for a second as her eyes scanned through the people gathered.

" There is joy in knowing that you are not alone. Here you can find people who are just as weird. Well, if you need someone to talk to you can...... talk to the counselors, that's what they are here for. I would like to introduce to you King, he is our counselor, he is a good one at that, but guess what else he is good at? She asked as one side of her lips tilted into a smirk. The young man besides the woman who I guessed was King glared at the woman. But when the woman turned to look at him, he gave her a cheeky grin.

" Stealing!" A voice was heard from the back answering the question the unknown woman had asked earlier. The crowd burst out laughing, a chuckle left my mouth, it was ironic, there is no way a person who is supposed to guide people to be better versions of themselves could be a thief. Unless this was a school full of crazy people.

" Well, I have always told him to see someone about his itchy hands but he didn't listen, he said he was a therapist himself, I told him a surgeon can't operate his own head" the woman said with a shrug. The crowd burst out laughing again.

" King is a shadow dragon so he understands most of your troubles, feel free to visit his office, he may steal your things but at least he will understand you. I am Black, your strength and control teacher" the woman finished her speech and turned her back to us trying to walk away. Gasps were heard throughout the crowd and before she could walk down the podium. A pretty blonde girl raised her hand eagerly as she jumped up and down shouting " I have a question; I have a question!"

Black turned around and stepped forward again with a bored look on her face. Her hands crossed her chest, and one of her eyebrows rose to her hairline. There was silence until King told the girl to ask her question.

" Do you mean you are black thee black dragon?"

"Yes” Black answered, there were several gasps in the group. Some people turned to their neighbors and started discussing this new discovery.

"Why do you look so normal?" The girl asked

I applauded her for her courage, I would never ask such a question to someone so dangerous. There was no guarantee that she would not open her mouth and burn you to crisp or tear you to pieces for provoking her.

"Was I supposed to look like a cow?"

That shut up the girl, she didn't ask any more questions.

" Anyway, welcome to the party “she said as they both walked away but not without king adding

"Or prison " under his breath

Everyone started talking at once.

"She doesn't look scary "

" She looks like your normal teenager "

"She looks like a 16-year-old "

" A snappy one"

"I can definitely beat her in a fight"

" I can't believe people are so scared of her"

"She seems sweet " at that everyone stopped talking and turned to look at who had said that. The culprit was a lanky boy with scales on the left side of his neck, he was either of mermaid race or the snake clan. He hid his face between his hands when he noticed everyone looking at him.

"How old is she again?" The girl from earlier saved the boy from further embarrassment.

"100 maybe?"

"No, I hear she has been around for more than 500 years"

"That's old, doesn't she age?"

"I hear she is immortal"

"Wow she is lucky"

"I still think she isn't that dangerous " the boy who claimed he could to beat black on a fight said

Suddenly everyone stopped talking and I turned around to look at them wondering why they had stopped. My heart skipped a beat and my stomach was filled with dread,

This is bad. I thought.

" That’s until you commit a sin and I tear your ass into pieces." A voice was heard in my mind. It was a low growl and it didn't sound human at all, it sounded something out of the pits of hell. I almost couldn't recognize Black' s voice. There was even a trace of humor behind the voice as if the thought of killing someone excited her. I felt a chill pass through my body and I couldn't prevent myself from shivering. I felt a sudden urge to fall on my knees to beg for forgiveness for a sin I hadn't committed and beg for my life. I bit my lip to prevent myself from doing so.

This is the black dragon I had heard about; the stories weren't exaggerated. Her voice could really make you pee your pants.

The boy who had claimed he could beat the black dragon in a fight gulped loudly and couldn't stop his hands from trembling as he hurriedly walked away. The group went silent and I thought my nose picked up a scent of urine in the air. I could have laughed if I wasn't scared shitless myself.

Not so far from where I was were two couples kissing, their top half was bare and the boy's hand reached the girl's skirt zipper trying to remove it. " Are they really going to have s*x in the open? " The chatty girl asked. The couple just turned and gave us a cheeky smile then continued with their business. When black said welcome to the party, she really meant welcome to the s*x party.

" s*x helps prevent their urges to kill", the scaly boy from earlier explained.

" Look at that! Look at that! " Mary the chatty girl shouted. We turned to look at what she was pointing at, there was a giant black creature, it had four arms but it had a humanoid figure, one second it was 50 meters away and the next second it had picked Mary up and thrown her into the distance.

" Rude!" The creature grunted
