Chapter 6

Class ended, I watched everyone leave. I began gathering my things, hoping that he would somehow forget about me and I could slip out with everyone.

“Ms. Fawns” he said my name like it was a sweet candy caressing his mouth. I tried not to shutter.

“It is almost summertime" I sighed and wished for it to come sooner.

"Yes, it is, why did you ask me to stay after? Did I do something wrong?" he smiled

"Not at all, I just wanted to see you before you left. I will be gone the rest of this week, I have a person filling in for me, and I wanted a chance to talk to you” I nodded thankful he will not be here to harass me.

“I will miss being able to have in my class since you will be in college next year," he said with a frown.

I did not miss the way he said "have you" as his eyes slowly roamed my body. If I had proof of indecency, I would report him but, he leaves no way to prove it. I had previously tried to speak with the faculty about him, but they said he has a modest school record, he is clean and has never been accused of anything suspicious. They said they would investigate but I never heard any news of any reports handled. 

"Yes, I am excited to start Cambridge in the fall. I am hoping to become a journalist" his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"I see you were referred to have Mr. Collin's French language class?" he said, I almost detected a growl. What is wrong with this man?

"Yes sir, I just needed this class to fulfill some extra language requirements for college." He looked at me, again raking his eyes over me.

"I see" he said, I was becoming uncomfortable.

 "Is there anything else that you need?" I asked him.

He smiled "Yes, you" I heard him faintly say.

He straightened up, walked over to me, placing both of his hands on either side of me, and leaned in. If I am not mistaken, he deeply inhaled the scent of my hair as he spoke.

"I need you to see me after the school hours about college reference". I stared at him with a look of confusion.

"couldn't you just pass that to my counselor?" He looked disappointed and said.

"I suppose I can but, how can I give you your reward for being such a stellar student?" I tried to move around him, but he cornered me against the wall. I look around, hoping that someone may come in and be alerted to the traumatic scenario I was no facing. He continued to talk about what a stellar student I have been, and how fond he has grown of me. My inner self and everything in my corer was screaming for help. I felt a part of me screaming to be set free. I wasn’t sure what she meant or why she was telling me to incinerate him. Her eyes were purple, she kept on throwing her hands out like she was reaching for something. I tried my best to scoot away from him along the wall. Tried to get closer to the door. I was hoping to open it like I was leaving and give someone a cue about what he was doing. I was too scared to scream. What if he physically hurt me? He suddenly gripped my arm and jerked me toward him. He buried his nose in my neck and breathed me in. It was so weird and repulsive. I felt his hand starting to caress my thigh, as it slid upwards then, I felt it starting to stroke my panties. I was becoming scared and felt disgusted at his gesture. I tried to remove his hand, but he dug in harder. I felt myself becoming moist against my will. I bit my lip not to say a word. I saw his eyes sparkle with lust and excitement before I could say another word, he kissed me and started trying to kiss my neck. Everything happened so fast, I felt a strength I had never known fill me. I growled at him and shoved him backward.

“I knew it!” He growled in a deep voice.

Shocked at my own actions, I straightened myself. As I began to walk away, he attempted to grab me again. Something inside of me reacted, moved faster than I thought possible, I grabbed his hand twisted it and grabbed him by his throat. I growled at him; my eyes blazed with fury. I saw the reflection of my eyes in his own and saw the purple haze beginning to shine. I pulled him closer to me and growled in his ear.

"Do. Not. Dare. Grab. Me. Again!" I spat. I threw him backwards into the bookshelves. I felt a surge of energy in me, I was in full attack mode. He stupidly attempted to grab me again, and I reacted again, I punched him hard, knocking him into the wall. I walked out of the classroom trying not to run, I walked down the hallway. I looked around to be sure that no one was in sight. I do not know where that power came from but, I hope that was the end of it. As I reached the door to my next class, I heard him say.

"I will see you this summer". I turned around, and I noticed him staring at me with an intense expression. I ran away from him down the hall. I will make sure I never see him again after I finish school.

As I finish my last class, and walk towards my car, I again get the feeling as if I am being watched. A sudden screeching noise has me turning around, I feel like my life is about to end as I see a car take a turn to sharp and flip itself over.

Everything happens so fast, there is a car that begins to turn into the parking lot at incredible speed. It is not slowing down. It is like I can see everything that is about to happen in slow motion, it makes the turn at an impossible angle. I can see the car flip on its side before it corrects itself. bad part is, it's just thrown itself into a spin! I watch as within seconds it crashes into a bus, and the bus which was pulling into the school from a different direction, is knocked into an awkward drive as it spins straight towards me. Suddenly, I hear a terrifying scream or roar in fury. I brace myself for death. I close my eyes awaiting my demise, until I feel something throw me to the ground, I open my eyes, I feel the world is spinning. My head hits the pavement, I feel like something is dragging me across the ground. I close my eyes again in fright, as I feel like I am flying through the air. I land with a light thud on the ground. I hear the sound of multiple collisions. I sit in a daze, I open my eyes, I immediately feel a stinging pain on my head. I wipe my brow and I see blood smeared across my head. Fuck! This is all I need! anyone sees me, they are going to freak out. I grab an antiseptic from my purse and apply it to the wound while no one is here. I find my scarf from my purse and wrap it around my head to block the bleeding. Hopefully, it will act as a bandage. I looked around at the chaos. The offending car looks like a disaster out of a horror movie, I nearly scream as I see the driver bloody and hanging outside of the windshield clearly dead. The bus is twenty feet in a different direction, flipped upside down. The driver is on the pavement barely moving. I notice that I am ten feet away from my car close to the trees. It is as if some invisible force pulled me from harm’s way and destroyed the vehicles that almost claimed my life. I feel a presence behind me. I look at the trees but there is no one there. 

I stand up and walk to my car to leave. Unfortunately, at this moment the entire school is coming over to investigate, the headmaster and several faculty members are checking my wellbeing to be certain I am alright. I just want to go home and forget this nightmare. I continue to tell them that I do not need a hospital trip, but the medics are already on their way. This day just got longer.

I sit here, trying to contemplate with just happened! I cannot get that spying boy in the woods out of my mind. The roar of fury, the carnage that just happened, someone saved my life. Do I have an avenging angel?
