"Good afternoon! May I help you?" asked the receptionist behind a desk.
"Yes, I am the new-transferred student and I wanted to talk with the principal, if that is not too much trouble," said Faye smiling.
"I'm not sure if the principal is available. That's funny! I didn't know we were getting a new student."
"I just got here. I am transferring here from Canada. I am an exchange student."
"Let me check it out on my computer. It'll only take a second. Please, take a seat, Ms....?"
"Call me Jade," she lied as she took a seat in front of the woman.
"Do you have a last name, Jade?"
"Ah, yes. Jade...Fey."
On her watch a message came on. It read, "Jade Fey, that's too clever. What's next? Sakura, again? Maybe Logan as your last name, and this time for real." Jade looked at the message and scoffed.
*Very funny, Tom,* she thought. *I know you can hear my thoughts, bub. Listen to this.*
"Such a nice language you have Ms. Faye" was the next message on her watch.
*Tom, don't bother me and do your job. Did you send the fake records like I told you to?*
"What do you think?" came up on her watch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Jade Fey! I found you. I don't remember entering your records here but I guess so much has been happening that one can hardly keep track of it all," the woman said and giggled.
"Of course," Jade said, smiling politely.
"My! What wonderful records you have! I'm sure Principal Kelly will see you in no time."
"Thank you very much," said Jade as she followed the woman inside the principal's office.
Kelly looked up puzzled as the two of them entered.
"Edward, this is Jade Fey. She's an exchange student from Canada," the woman announced, sort of puzzled.
"Hello. How was I not informed that we were getting a new student, Greta?" asked Kelly.
"I wasn't either but she is on the computer. She said she wanted to talk to you. Maybe she can explain it all."
"All right. Thank you, Greta. You may come in, Ms. Fey," said Kelly as the plump woman nodded and closed the door behind her.
Jade looked after Mr. Kelly's assistance and, after she closed the door, Jade used her powers to see if the woman was still close to the door. The rim of her irises and her pupils glowed orange as she did that.
"So, Ms. Fey, you're our transferred student. Somehow, I don't believe that to be true," said Kelly, looking at Jade up and down.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You're very perceptive, Mr. Kelly," said Jade as she turned to face Kelly; her eyes still glowing, registering every bit of energy he had.
"You're one of those.....those monsters," said Kelly, jumping up. His eyes were wide open and his face grew paler and paler. He tried opening his mouth to scream but nothing came out.
"I believe the term is mutants, Mr. Kelly."
Kelly reached for the telephone, but Jade was too quick for him. She jumped up on his desk and took out her weapon. In one second, she was holding the scythe up to his neck.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.....I thought you were smarter than that, Kelly."
"Wa.....what....what do you want?"
Oh, smell that fear, said Daniel inside Faye's head. Let me out. Come on, Faye....
"Do you know who I am?" she asked Kelly, trying hard to keep Daniel under control.
"N...No....." he muttered.
"I'm The Oracle of the Realms. I was expecting someone like not to be familiar with me or my reputation, but know that I have lots of knowledge and lots of influence on people, Mr. Kelly."
She retracted her scythe and sat down on his desk.
He nervously sat down on his chair. He kept looking at the windows, the door and the phone, thinking which one was the best way to get rid of the monster that now sat on his desk.
"One of you has tried to kill me already. And I didn't have any problems getting the police to be on my side."
"Ok, I don't think you know who you're dealing with, Kelly. I need you right now to arrange some things around this little school of yours," she said getting up from the desk and pacing around the office. "However, if needed be or if I so please, I can kill you right now, without even breaking a sweat. Now..." she paused and looked at him from the other side of the desk. "Do you really think that you're capable of making challenges???? Huh???"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He stayed quiet looking at her from the top of his glasses. Sweat started breaking on his forehead. Faye knew that he was going to give her problems but she didn't know that he was going to be this bad.
"Oh, for Pete's sake, Kelly, relax. I am in need of your services, so I won't kill you. You're safe, for now. I promise that if you help me, you will be significantly rewarded."
"What can you do for me?" Kelly managed to ask.
"I might, for instance, offer you protection from the horrible mutants you hate so much. Or I could put in a good word with some very powerful people." Kelly leaned forward interested.
"Imagine," she continued, enticing him even more. "Senator Kelly. Or maybe the title of President Kelly would suit you even more? Would you like that, Kelly?"
Open-mouthed, Kelly nodded.
"Well, we can always make that happen. Are you wiling to cooperate with me now?"
"Yes, I am the new-transferred student and I wanted to talk with the principal, if that is not too much trouble," said Faye smiling.
"I'm not sure if the principal is available. That's funny! I didn't know we were getting a new student."
