I was paralyzed in fear. 'Shit, what to do, what to do' I thought. I kicked him in the stomach as hard as I could. He let out a low growl and stumbled backwards. I fell to the ground and ran to the door. I twisted and turned the handle. Locked. I turned and he was standing there, heaving and hissing. His eyes were no longer the suspicious green that they had been in class. They were red. Every breath he took made them grow redder and brighter. I backed up against the wall and began frantically looking for something to fight with. I finally found something and picked it up. A ruler… seriously? I fricken ruler! Of all things I had to pick up a ruler! He lunged and me and I moved out of the way, slapping him with the ruler as I turned. We stood on opposite sides of the room. There was a large red mark on his cheek. I looked at the ruler, impressed that it actually did any damage. Suddenly he slapped the ruler out of my hand and hissed at me. "Tell me where Avalon is and I will let you go." I looked at him clueless. "What the heck is an Avalon?" I said. He just growled and large claws grew out of where his fingernails used to be. I backed away and started screaming for help. He laughed and said "No one can hear you." Suddenly the door fell down and Dexter ran in with a knife. He stabbed him in the back and ran over to me. "Is anything wrong?" he asked worriedly. I looked at him. "Is anything wrong? I was locked in an office with my 'teacher', he grew claws and then you stabbed him! Oh, and did I mention he tried to KILL me!" I shrieked. Dexter just looked at me. "You need to calm down." He said nonchalantly. My eye twitched and I walked out of the room. Dexter ran after me, grabbing my wrist. "You can't leave, there are others." He said cautiously. I ripped my wrist away and continued walking down the hall. He walked after me saying some garbage I didn't want to hear. I just wanted my day to go back to normal. I walked into my Social Studies classroom and he followed. I pulled out a textbook, he pulled out the textbook next to mine. I sat down, and he sat next to me. I glared at him and growled " Can you stop following me!" He shook his head. "They're after you. I can't leave you alone." He whispered. I shook my head. I didn't want to know who {or what} was following me. My teacher quieted us down and told us to turn to page 234 in our textbooks. I flipped through the pages and found the page on myths and fables. I sighed and threw my head back. Great. "Robin, would you like to read the paragraph on fairies?" My teacher asked. I nodded and began reading.
" Fairies are told in many tales. In many stories they are depicted as mischievous, tricky characters. But most myths from Ireland tell that fairies are wise and keep the world in balance with night and day, dawn and dusk, light and dark. The stories claim that fairies are broken into the seasons. Winter fairies being able to control ice, darkness and anything in nature mostly. The winter fairies are extremely rare so that's why they are trusted with the most power. Fall fairies and rare, but not as rare as winter fairies. They are the doctors of the fairy world and can control wind and earth. Summer fairies are common but impressive. They control fire, light and water. They are the happiest of the fairies and the most free spirited. Spring fairies are very common and do not control any elements. They are taught to use weapons and they guard the gate to Avalon. Avalon is a fairy kingdom where everything is pure and safe. Many humans have ventured to try to find Avalon, but have all failed. Monsters also have tried to take over Avalon and make it their own. None have succeeded "The bell rang and Dexter pulled me over in the hallway. "Don't you understand why that monster was after you." I looked at him. " You're a winter fairy Robin. Not just any winter fairy. You have the power to save the world."
