The next morning, Anna woke up. She immediately noticed that every joint and limb of her ached. It wasn't like the pain you got the day after a lot of exercise, it was far worse. Anna couldn't even bring herself to wake up.
She peeked out of a minuscule gap in her blinds, and she saw that it was night time. She turned her neck, that was burning in pain, and saw that it was midnight. She had went to bed at about eight last night. Surely, she needed more sleep than this, right? She was in far too much agony to get back to sleep. It felt like two painful lumps were emerging from her back, determined to tear through her skin.
Through all of the pain, she did notice, oddly enough, that she didn't feel the least bit tired. It was as though she had gotten a good eight hours of sleep. Anna just stayed in her bed for the next five hours, with her face clenched and watery eyes. The pain wasn't as bad once it was about three in the morning. It was still painful though, she could only limp out of her bed. She pretty much crawled down to the kitchen.
She heard footsteps in the hall at about five. Bloodgood walked down the stairs in her slippers and thought to herself. She remembered how hard it was for Abbey to control her powers. Abbey was so powerful, she could freeze things that couldn't be frozen. She remembered coming home and when she found the frozen vodka bottle laying around outside of the house, she knew exactly who was responsible. Abbey had finally learned to control them though, with a few occasional slip-ups here and there.
Having Abbey learn to control her powers was hard enough, Bloodgood could not even begin to imagine how hard having a demon around would be. Some of the most powerful monsters out there, and Anna was unusually powerful. Bloodgood recalled being called up by the principal, begging Bloodgood and another normie principal from Lorvale to help her formulate a plan to safely get Anna out of her school. She remembered the principal speaking of how out of control she was, how desperate she was to get Anna out of the school. Anna was originally supposed to go to the normie high school in Lorvale, but she was far too dangerous to be put there. Bloodgood had to take her in.
Now Anna was going through the transformation, she would be back to her demon self in about a week. Bloodgood was terrified just by the thought of it. She called up a woman by the name of Stella Goblin, one of the best monster trainers known to monster high.
"Grace? Is that you?" the voice answered.
"Yes"
"Grace! Darling! Long time, no see! It's been what? A century?"
"Listen Stella, we can talk about this later. Listen you need to help me with something, you are the only person I trust with this..."
Bloodgood could hear a sense of apprehension in fear in her old classmate's voice as she explained the situation with Anna to her. The woman accepted the offer though, always willing to take on a new challenge. After 478 years of working with monsters, this would be her greatest challenge yet. She spent the week researching and preparing for it. Still, at the end of the week, she still wasn't quite so sure she could take on Anna's case...
Bloodgood hung up the phone and was just about to get out her favorite cereal when she suddenly remembered, she needed to check up on Anna! Poor girl must be in agony by now. She hurriedly ran up the stairs and into Anna's room. She opened the door to see a still Anna laying on her bed, her face showed that she was in a foul torture.
"Bloodgood, I'm in so much pain. Whats going on?" she said.
"You're just going through the transformation dear. It's painful," Bloodgood replied, feeling very sorry for the young woman. She could not even begin to imagine what she was going through.
Bloodgood brought up a few ice packs and Anna's breakfast. Bloodgood was planning to stay in there, but Anna requested her to leave. Anna just wanted some time alone. That was all she needed right now.
