"Maybe we should skip school," Hellion, Audrey's familiar, suggested. It didn't sound like a bad idea. She wasn't in the mood to deal with teachers and other people. Currently, Audrey was lying on her bed, stroking her cheetah's back side. Audrey had shown up yesterday and was already unpacked. She didn't want to be around when all the fresh meat arrive today. "We can't. Head Mistress would come and find us," she said sadly. It has happened before. Although it was worth getting in trouble for, she wasn't in the mood to see the head mistresses face either. A sigh escaped the young girls lips and the familiar grunted. "Then get up Audrey. You are late" Hellion rose and walked off Audrey and jumped onto the floor. She looked at him with disbelief. He actually cared whether or not she went to school. That was kind of hard to believe, but she wasn't going to question it. Audrey threw her legs over and felt the rough carpet of her floor.
She sauntered over to the mirror in her room to check for any imperfections. She caught sight of her hair in all different directions and a complete mess. Audrey could hear Hellion snickering at her and she turned to glare. The large cat did not fear this caster so all she could do was throw a measly pillow at him. Hellion pounced onto the bed and watched as the young women attempted to fix the mess on her head. A frustrated groan escaped her. Her hair wouldn't cooperate with her and she didn't have time or patience to get it work with her. Her decision was to braid it to the side. Simple and pretty. Turning to face Hellion, she gestured to herself as if to ask if she looked okay. He barely glanced at her before nodding his head. "You didn't even look!" she scolds him. "Because I'm a cat. We don't wear clothes. So I don't care" he responded. She just gave up on him and straightened out her outfit. Then she checked for any damages from last nights dream. And she found on. It started around her collar. A scratch that went down into her shirt. She didn't even was to see how far down it went. Hellion growled at the scar. He couldn't protect her in the dream. No one good. She didn't even address it. Finally the face paint. It took her a while, but she transformed her face Hellion approved and she put on her black robe.
Grabbing the keys to the room, her phone to contact people, and the hex book for practice Audrey opened the door and Hellion appeared by her side. He was hungry for some meat. She always found that strange. A cat who wants meat, but he gave her the whole lesson on cheetahs. How they eat zebra, bison, antelope, and all that good stuff. It was still weird, but who was she to question what he wants for breakfast. Walking down the hall, Hellion gave off the aura of not wanting to be messed with. People steer clear of the both of them and she didn't mind. The scar was starting to burn and it was really annoying. Flipping through her hex book, she was trying to find something to help. Nothing. Time for reinforcements. She handed Hellion the hex book and he took it in his jaw. Audrey pulled out her phone and first went to Div's number.
To:Div
From:Audrey
Hey. Where are you?
After that message she scrolled down to Lucian.
To:Lucian
From:Audrey
I need some help. I'm headed to the cafeteria. Where are you?
When the message went through, she pocketed the phone. Taking hold of the hex book from Hellion's mouth, he looked very upset. "What?" she questioned her familiar. "I hate them" he responded. Audrey rolled her eyes. "You hate everyone" she said.
