Ch. 1: Stacey Jeered
It's another typical day in Magus High. Drago, Ice, Cody, and Stacey are sharing a history class along with Rose and Sara's adopted sister Maria. Their teacher, Mrs. McCollum, is lecturing about the Transcontinental Railroad.
"The Transcontinental Railroad was being built by which group?" she asks the students for an answer.
Maria raises her hand.
"Yes, Maria," Mrs. McCollum calls.
"Immigrants, mostly the Chinese and the Irish," Maria replies.
"Very good, Maria, "Mrs. McCollum complimented, "In fact all Immigrants were responsible for the Industrial Revolution."
"Including Maria," Stacey sneered, "Ever thought about manual labor for a career?"
All the kids, except Drago, Ice, and Cody as they are angrily silent, laughed.
"So wet yourself from a mouse lately?"
"Cut it out, Stacey!" Drago commanded, "At least she shops less and studies more, unlike you."
"At least I don't go more," Stacey rudely replied.
"Ms. Valmont!" Mrs. McCollum called angrily, "See me after class!"
Maria lowers her head down in embarrassment while Cody comforts her as he leers at Stacey.
Later after school, Stacey is at her locker when Drago, Cody and Ice surround her.
"What you did to Maria in History 101 was totally uncoolsome, Sis!" Ice angrily yells at her.
"You know that Maria suffered some severe trauma!" Drago yells also, "You didn't have to humiliate her in front of the class!"
"Oh please!" Stacey snuffs, "I got enough from Mrs. McCollum. Can we move onto a topic more important than poor Maria?"
"NO!" all three angrily scream.
"You know something, Stacey?" Cody points at her, "The problem with you is that "Daddy Dearest" spoiled you so much, you've become high maintenance! You want attention so badly; you'll even hurt other kids to get it! You also complain about living a poor life while other kids are living homeless on the streets without anyone like your mom!"
"Cody's right," Drago agreed, "You couldn't last five minutes on the streets by yourself."
"I could too if I wanted to!" Stacey said while feeling insulted, "Why I bet I can last twenty-four hours on the streets!"
"Well in that case, I dare you, Sista, to spend the night in the Tenderloin District in San Fran," Ice dares her, "If you can survive the street life for twenty-four hours, the three of us will wait on you for two weeks, but if you get scared and call home, you have to do chores for Rose and Sara at their penthouse, which includes trash duty. Deal, Stace?"
Stacey thought about it. She knew the Tenderloin District is dangerous, but she also wants to make her brother and his friends suffer for saying she is high maintenance, realizing it is worth the risk, so she shakes her brother's hand.
"It's a deal!" Stacey agreed to it.
Outside of San Fran's city limits, a biker gang rolls into town, but it's not just any biker gang; it's a gang of were-jackals in leather. The head is a big, muscular, orange jackal in leather pants, a sleeveless vest, and a red scarf. Nest to him is his omega brother, who is wearing denim.
"This is where we will set up our turf, Boys!" the leader said.
"But we can't transform into humans, Kaine!" his brother worriedly said, "What if we're discovered."
"All the more humans will fear us, Jacko," Kaine says, "Now let's go to town."
They ride into San Fran laughing.
