It was now a few days later and Rose sighed as she walked into school. Spirit Week was here and there was a new guidance councilor lady that seemed off to her. She couldn't focus on that right now. She had to focus on her main bully, star football quarterback Dash Baxter, standing in front of her and glaring at her. Oh yeah…the school still thought she was a boy…which meant she still had to deal with this idiot.
"Hey Fen-Turd. What's with the awesome guitar?" Dash asked blocking the girls path as he looked jealously at the green and black guitar strapped to Rose's back. Rose managed to avoid Dash in the halls this morning and in between classes thanks to some of her powers…but now she was on the way to lunch…and she didn't think to turn invisible.
"It's mine. A friend gave to me as a gift. I bought it for the assignment in music class today." Rose said boredly as she looked up at him blankly.
"Don't take that tone with me Fentina! I'm taking that guitar!" Dash said taking the guitar off of Rose's back and throwing her back first into a locker.
"Give it back Dash. It was a gift." Rose said glaring as she stood up and frowned at the Jock that was now admiring the guitar.
"Don't tell me what to do Fentonio. I'm the king of Casper High. I do what I want, when I want, to who I want. Learn your place loser." Dash said punching Rose in the stomach before throwing her into an open locker. Rose hacked and spluttered into her hand for a minute before glaring up at Dash with glowing green eyes, which honestly freaked him out. He slammed the locker door shut and spun the lock on it randomly just as she lunged for him, causing her to hit the solid metal hard enough to leave a dent.
"See you later Fentina and thanks for the guitar!" Dash said smirking as he heard his target coughing and hacking from within the locker.
"Do try not to be late for your next class Danny. I'll have to put you in detention again if you are." Mr. Lancer said walking by behind Dash, not making a move to stop the bully or help the coughing girl out of the locker.
"A-assholes." Rose muttered as she coughed harshly into her hand, that punch to her stomach hurt…and all this coughing…shit…another attack. There was no way she'd be able to get out of the locker with her ghost powers then. She couldn't concentrate enough.
No one bothered to help Rose out of the locker even as her coughing weakened and a small trickle of blood dribbled from underneath the door of the locker. It was ten minutes later when someone noticed the blood…that someone was Roses' older sister Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton.
"Why is there blood in the locker?!" Jazz asked herself aloud as she looked wide eyed at the slowly growing puddle of blood by the locker door before a coughing and wheezing noise hit her ears.
"Danny? Is that you?" Jazz asked getting close to the locker and peering through the slits in the top of it. Her eyes widened at what she saw. Her precious baby sister was curled up on the floor of the locker, occasionally coughing, wheezing, and hacking as blood drippled from her mouth. There was a splattering of blood on her white shirt and a small pool of it on the bottom of the locker underneath her.
"DANNY!" Jazz shouted as she grabbed the locker handle and tried to force it open. She wasn't strong enough though. It only rattled not opened.
"J-Jazz?" Rose slurred, weakly glancing up at Jazz with eyes blurry and glazed over from pain and blood loss.
"Hang on Danny. I'll go find someone to help get this locker open. I'll be right back little sister!" Jazz said through the slits at the top of the door, running off quickly while Rose coughed harshly again.
Rushing down the hall Jazz made it to the principal's office, hoping the older woman would be able to help her get the locker door open.
"Principal Ishiyama! Co-Come quick. It'-It's Danny." Jazz panted bursting into the office, startling Ishiyama and the new guidance councilor Penelope Spectra as she did so.
"Pl-Please you have to help me! D-Danny's in major danger." Jazz said grabbing the principals arm and hoisting her out of the chair and the office.
"Ms. Fenton! Calm down and tell me what happened!" Ishiyama ordered trying to tug her arm free from the red heads grip.
"No time! Danny's lost a lot of blood and if we don't help her soon she could…sh..she could…" Jazz couldn't bring herself to say it as she choked out a sob, causing Ishiyama's eyes to widen slightly while Penelope stood up and followed after them quickly in confusion and slight worry.
"Take me to her." Ishiyama ordered Jasmine, causing the girl to nod as she ran back down the hallway to the locker her little sister was trapped in. Ishiyama seemed to be the only teacher or faculty member in the school who knew or at least acknowledged the fact that Danny Fenton was really a girl named Rose. She was also one of the only ones who knew about Rose's tuberculosis, the other one being the school nurse.
"She's in there!" Jazz said shakily pointing to the locker with the blood puddle in front of it.
"…shit…" Ishiyama breathed out softly as she glanced through the slits in the door and saw Rose's condition. The girl was barely conscious and surrounded by blood. They had to do something quick.
"Jazz go find the custodian and tell him to bring some hedge clippers or something! We need to get her out of there." Ishiyama ordered before Penelope glanced through the locker and went wide eyed at the girls condition.
"There's no time for that! Move!" Penelope said pushing Jazz and Ishiyama away from the locker, taking up a small stance in front of it.
"Hi-yah!" Penelope said spinning around on one foot and using her other to kick the lock clean off of the locker much to the other two females surprise. Penelope quickly rushed forward, not minding the blood on her heels as she threw open the locker door and gently reached in.
"Child. My name is Penelope Spectra. I'm the new guidance counselor here at Casper High. I'm going to pick you up and get you out of there okay?" Penelope asked softly earning a small pained moan she took as an affirmative as she slowly reached in and gently picked up the blood covered teen who looked smaller than she really was right now.
"We have to get her to the hospital immediately. She lost a lot of blood. Jazz call 911." Ishiyama ordered the younger girl who nodded and dug out her cell phone.
"Until they get here we have to try and keep her awake. Rose…can you tell me who put you in the locker?" Ishiyama told Spectra seriously, causing her to nod as she held the child closer almost protectively, before gently asking Rose.
"…D-Dash…" Rose murmured out causing Ishiyama's eyes to flare. That arrogant bully might get away with a lot from teachers like Lancer but she despised him…and she sure wasn't going to let him get away with this. Star football player or not!
"That bastard is mine." Jazz growled angrily after she hung up with the dispatcher who told her an ambulance would be here soon.
"Jazz go find a teacher and tell them to pull the security camera footage from hallway three, within the last half an hour. I want to know what exactly happened." Ishiyama ordered causing Jazz to nod and rush off to find a teacher.
"Here child. Let's get you onto the floor." Penelope said softly as she gently sat down on the floor, setting Rose down beside her as the girls breath came out in an icy blue mist.
"C-cold…so…cold…y-you…you're…warm…" Rose weakly murmured as she snuggled close to Spectra who glanced up at Ishiyama almost helplessly before pulling the girl close and letting the blood covered teen rest her head on the councilor's chest and shoulder.
"Don't worry Rose. You'll be nice and warm again soon. As much as I hate to move her…she'll be more comfortable on the couch in my office until the ambulance gets here and then we'll be able to view the video of what happened as well." Ishiyama said glancing at Spectra who nodded and slowly picked the child up again. Rose didn't make a move to resist and instead actually snuggled closer to the red clad woman.
"Good it's already set up. Set her down on the couch, and see if you can't find a blanket or something to cover her with." Ishiyama said spotting the laptop on her desk already having the footage bought up and Jazz standing nearby fretting worriedly over her baby sister. Spectra nodded and laid the tiny girl down on the couch, beginning to move away when Rose gripped her sleeve with a surprisingly tight grip.
"…D…don't….l…leave…p…ple..please." Rose struggled to get out, hacking and slightly between words, causing blood to stain her cloths again.
"I won't. I promise." Penelope said glancing helplessly at the other two women, before sitting down on the couch beside Rose's head. Gently Spectra moved the child so that her head was in the older woman's lap where Spectra gently brushed some hair from her face. Ishiyama and Jazz glanced at the two before looking at the footage together…both of their expressions turning furious when they saw in detail what had happened. Ishiyama finally spoke up her voice calm, eerily so given the murderous look on her face, when she heard the ambulance sirens outside.
"Penelope kindly take Rose out to the paramedics that just pulled up. I…need to have a little…word…with some of my students and one of my teachers." The other woman nodded as she gingerly picked Rose up again and walked from the office, the other two females following her. Jazz walked forward and stopped Spectra for a second as she kissed Rose's forehead.
"Don't worry lil sis. Big sister will make sure they know not to ever so much as look at you funny again, and I'll get your new guitar back too." Jazz said softly before stepping aside to let the older red head pass her, Rose safely snuggled into the red clad woman's arms, and waited until the two were out of sight before she turned her head towards Ishiyama.
"If you'll excuse me…I have some…unfinished business with one Dash Baxter." Jazz said her voice dead and cold, causing Ishiyama to nod slightly. Jazz smirked slightly at the older woman's response before the two stormed off towards the cafeteria together.
"I'll join you…I need to have a bit of a…talk about bullying and favoritism."
