Chapter 8: Drawn blood.

Reilly woke up earlier than usual on the next day, eager to do what she planned. Keyla pushed herself off the bed and looked at Reilly through sleepy eyes. "What's the deal? Why so early?" Reilly just gave her a smug smile and went back to sifting through her wardrobe for the right clothes She changed quickly and was back in practically no time at all.

Her T-shirt was a regular blue-and-purple. She had put on black jeans and then a black jacket with metal spikes, then came her shoes. Since she did not have any boots that matched, she picked heeled purple-and-black shoes. She glanced in the mirror and grinned at her reflection. Then she put on black lipstick and drew her eyes darkly, then put on some glittering blue eye-shadow.

She boldly bared her fangs at her reflection and shot out her claws. Perfect. She looked so different from her normal self that it surprised her. When Keyla woke up she was shock as well, and covered her mouth, gasping and laughing at the same time. "You show 'em girl! You doing this to the max?"

"I'm going all out. They won't know what hit them."

Reilly and Keyla walked till the gates of the dormitory, imagining the looks on people's faces and laughing all the way, and then they parted to get to their classes. While she walked, monsters began to turn and look, then chatter away about her. More than anything else though, right now, she wanted to run into ROR.

And she got her wish. Somewhere near the Scaring School building, she noticed the red-clad monsters standing around and talking. Randy was scowling at the ground, like he was in great pain. Reilly decided not to bother him about it just now, and instead walked over to the group, knocking off Chet's hat as she approached Johnny.

"Hey Worthington, found anyone to put down lately?" She said in a mock suave voice, looking him directly in the eyes with an evil smirk on her face. "Wh-Wha..Reilly?!" His expression was priceless. Luckily, someone clicked a photo from behind her but she didn't turn to see for the monster was gone as soon as he got the shot.

Reilly chuckled darkly, "Who did you think, bigshot?" Johnny looked around apprehensively at his fraternity brothers, Chet was giving her an annoyed expression for knocking off his hat, Chip and Reggie didn't really catch on and Javier's expression was completely stricken, yet he smiled a bit. Randy alone was smiling at her like he knew what was going on.

"Uh..hey, Reilly…"Johnny said, drawing out her name like poison. She liked that. "So…uh….what's with the….outifit change?...It, uh….doesn't flaunt your figure." She scowled at him and flicked her tail in annoyance, "Don't try it, Worthington." He swallowed thickly and tried to come up with something to say.

Reilly skimmed around her, and noticed Randy clutching his tail. The tip was covered in bloody gashes that could only have been made by one thing. Crab claws. She whipped her head back towards Johnny and hissed, flicking her tongue at him and shot out her long claws. Coming closer to Johnny and pointing them at his neck (or what would be his neck), just touching the fur.

"Chet Alexander hurt Randy. What's your deal with him?"

Johnny's eyes flicked to Randy for a split second then back again to her unforgiving gaze, "Nothing! He didn't do anything! I don't know about Chet, really, I had nothing to do with it." Reilly gave him a cold glare, "I don't care. You didn't stop him you stupid, pathetic waste. You'd better stay away from Randy or I'll tear out your heart. And I mean it." She gave a sharp but slight dig into his fur and he yelped.

"Good job, Senorita." Javier's voice caught Reilly's attention and she turned to see him smiling at her. "I agree, Nice move Reilly", Randy grinned at her. Reilly gave them a smug look and removed her claws from Johnny's throat. "Hey Javier, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were-", Chet was cut off by Reilly, "Can it, crab!" "Reilly, may I speak with you for a moment?" Came Javier's voice, and she could see the slight tinge of a blush on his face

"What...Oh sure."She turned away, but not before turning and giving a final slash at Johnny's arm, light enough not to be fatal, hard enough to hurt. A deep red liquid slid down his arm in a thin line. Javier led her away from ROR to a nearby tree, "Well, I hope this new attitude of yours isn't permanent, anyway, I just wanted to tell you about what happened to Randy's tail. See, after you left yesterday, Johnny got really mad at him because you were cold to him and not Randy. And also because Randy stood up to him, when you came in.

See, Johnny Worthington is a stupid pathetic waste just like you said, and when he was shouting at Randy, Chet came in and we all know how much Chet always wants to impress Johnny so he mauled Randy's tail with his claw. Randy didn't take it lightly, look at Chet's claw. But he had the sanity to stop it and go to his room." Reilly pursed her lips. "Then why the hell should I leave him alone?"

Javier shook his head and smiled, and then his look turned grave, "I don't mind, but you'll get punished for it! It's not worth the risk. I say, go ahead and talk to him the way you want but if you hurt him then its curtains for us." Reilly felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Randy, "Javier's right. It's not worth the risk." Reilly nodded, "I get the picture. I won't hurt him then. But I'll scare him half to death", she smirked, spitting fire into the air.

Randy grinned at her, "And while this lasts, I wouldn't mind seeing him humiliated again. Really, he's so scared!" Reilly smiled again. Then she remembered her classes. She frantically glanced around and saw Johnny and ROR had gone. She looked at Javier and Randy with a worried expression, and the three of them ran for the Scaring school. It wasn't far and luckily, by the time they got there, they weren't too late.

Dean Hardscrabble glared down at them from her usual perch up top. Professor Knight frowned. Reilly came up with an explanation, "We're sorry Professor, we got caught up in the initiation tour of some freshman." Professor Knight sighed, "That's alright, but since you missed almost half of my class, I think you should attend a make-up class on Saturday."Dean Hardscrabble swooped down, "I expect all three of you here on Saturday at noon. Not a minute later. And Miss Blaze, don't think I'm taking it easy on you just because you're my niece. Now go take your seats." The students around her gasped and chattered, motioning towards the three of them

After class, Reilly spoke to the Dean, who simply shook her head and said, "Saturday, you, Mr. Ross and Mr. Boggs shall attend the class because you were late and you have to catch up. By the way, this is a nice idea to scare that over-confident Mr. Worthington. You should do this more often." Reilly just smiled. She couldn't wait to tell this to Keyla, anyways she had to introduce her to Javier just then. Reilly's expression was quite smug, today so far, had been amazing, inspite of her make-up class on Saturday.
