There, it's updated now lol

Chapter 4: Facing Off Against El Demonio

"G-GET OFF! WEIRDO!" shouted Aria as she pushed Dashie away.

Sunny was confused but decided to get class started.

"Okay, well, class is starting. Let's start by showing you guys how a little bit of music can be fun, alright?"

"Yeah, whatever," muttered Aria, still eyeing Dashie.

Dashie slumped in a chair and started to cry and repeat how she needed to die. Aria was beginning to regret telling her that she was going to kill her, but she wasn't going to give up on that idea.

"Okay, before we start, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sunny Shimeren, and I will be your cool and awesome music teacher for the whole school year."

Sunny gave them a cool rocker pose as she held her red guitar, and she could see everyone looking at her, not cheering. Hell, she heard a single cough. She started to worry a little since the other classes were like this, and she decided to keep going.

"O-okay, so why don't I get things started? First, let's start with an easy song to learn. I want all of you to grab your instruments and-"

"We don't have our own," stated one of the students.

"FUCK!" screamed Sunny within her mind, as she remembered that she had the last class put the instruments in the storage room that was at the end of the hall. "Well, let's go get them."

As everyone left the class with her, Aria stopped Dashie from leaving.

"So, what's wrong, puta? Why are you so desperate for me to kill you?"

"B-because..."

"Because, why?"

"I just did something terrible and horrible," cried Dashie.

"Oh, what, like what you did to my sister?"

Dashie was about to apologize again, but Aria raised her hand and stopped.

"Look, I don't want you to apologize, and I don't think you are sorry for what you did. So, don't waste your breath. Anyway, you want me to kill you? Well, I can't do that."

"W-Why not?! Please!"

"Because..." Aria sighed. "It's no fun if you want me to kill you. Takes all the damn fun out of it. It would help if you were strong. Show no fear. Be proud, and then you can die."

"Be...proud?"

"Yes, and then I'll kill you. I promise."

"T-thank you. I will make sure to be...stronger, " Dashie slowly said, trying her hardest to understand the advice.

Aria nodded her head.

"Good. Now, hold still."

"Huh? What do you-WHOA!" Dashie dodged in time as Aria threw a punch at her. "WHY?!"

"What? You want me to kill you, but you won't let me punch you. Make up your damn mind, and don't dodge next time!"

"WHAT?! I DON'T WANT TO BE PUNCHED! I JUST WANT TO BE KILLED!"

Dashie dodged another punch and stepped back, trying to keep her distance. Aria spit on the floor, as she hated when her meal dodged her attacks.

"So, you do know how to move. I like that." Aria smiled.

"Oh no," Dashie started to cry, not wanting this. She needed to think of something to get out of this. She picked up a chair and pointed it at her. "Stay back! Or I'll hurt you!"

"Hurt me? Yeah, right, you aren't going to-OOF!"

Aria didn't expect her to throw the chair and hit her. She fell to the floor, holding her head, and Dashie ran out of the classroom.

"Oh, I'm so dead, and why did I do that?!" screamed Dashie in her thoughts.

"Oh, so you can fight after all," said Aria, cracking her neck. "This is going to be fun."

Meanwhile, Sunny discovered the storage door was locked and pulled out a key ring with a lot of keys on it.

"Okay, I'm going to need to label the Storage key. Now, I remember it's this one?" Sunny tried a key, but nothing. She tried the second one, but it still didn't open. She sighed and slowly used each key, not noticing what was happening behind them as Dashie ran into another empty classroom with Aria following her. "Maybe this key?" She said. As she tried it, desks, chairs, and a chalkboard were being tossed out of the room that the two were in as the two girls fought. None of the students seemed to notice as everyone was on their phones and listening to whatever was in their headphones. While Sunny was too focused on finding the correct key to notice what was being tossed out into the hallway.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," muttered Dashie as she jumped out of the way of a table. "I'm actually fighting! I'm fighting!"

Aria pulled Dashie by her jacket's back collar and raised her up like a kitten.

"You aren't fighting if you don't throw a damn punch, dumbass," she spat.

"Then...I will! I'll fight you! I won't lose!"

"Good, now-"

Aria was punched in the nose and was forced to let go of her. Dashie dropped to the ground and quickly felt terrible for what she did.

"Oh, crap! I'm so sorry!"

"You bitch! You made me bleed!"

"I-I didn't mean to. It's just that I-"

Dashie was grabbed and thrown into a desk, landing on her stomach. Aria wasn't going to let her get away with what she did. She punched her back and continued to kick her. Dashie cried and screamed for her to stop, but she wouldn't, not until she knocked her out. She kept going, but soon, Aria started to feel tired. She stopped to catch her breath and was impressed.

"Wow, you can take a beating."

Dashie couldn't hear her as she was still crying out in pain.

"PLEASE STOP!"

Aira blinked. "...I'm not hitting you!"

Dashie continued to cry and begged for her to stop.

"Oh, shut the fuck up, puta!" shouted Aria as she was finally over it. She grabbed her and forced her to look at her. "Are you pretending that my punches hurt? If so, cut it out."

Dashie stopped crying.

"B-but, they do. You are hurting me."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not!"

"I'm bleeding! Don't you see?"

Aria became pissed off. She grabbed Dashie by her shirt and pulled her face closer.

"I'm telling you that I'm not. Stop lying to me. You are scared, but I can tell when someone is faking it. Now, I'm going to ask you again. Are you faking it?"

"I-I..."

"Well?"

"N-no."

"No, what?"

"No, I'm not..." Dashie slowly looked away as if she were indeed faking it. She couldn't tell her how Sol, her half-sister, would overdo it when she wanted to wrestle with her. Sol would hurt her a lot, but she was used to it...there was another reason that Dashie hated remembering why it was hard for her to feel pain. "...I'm sorry."

"So, you were, huh? You have the guts to lie to me?" She pushed Dashie to the floor and pinned her down. "If you are going to lie, then maybe I should beat the truth out of you, you lying little slut."

"P-please no," begged Dashie.

"I can do whatever the hell I want, bitch, and you can't stop me!" She pulled Dashie's shirt up. She whistles at the sight. "Nice abs, bitch. Maybe I'll rip them open, yeah? That'll show you."

"N-no!"

"Or, better yet, I'll break your fucking legs? Or..." Aria looked around at the drummer sticks and smiled. "I'll shove those sticks up your-" She started to pull Dashie's pants down.

"NO! DON'T!"

"H-HUH?"

Aria couldn't react or process what had happened to her. One minute, she was on top of Dashie, but the next, she was pinned.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you do that to me."

"WHAT THE HELL, PUTA?! GET OFF OF ME!"

"NO!"

Aria tried her hardest to free herself but was shocked that she couldn't. A weakling was pinning her.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!"

"NO! Stop fighting, and let's talk this out! Like my mom always says, violence is never the answer!"

"I'm going to kick your ass, and then, I'll-"

"SHUT UP!"

"..." Aira flinched in how mighty that yell was. She froze up in...fear?

"I didn't mean to shout. Sorry. It's just that I don't want us to keep fighting and hurting each other."

"T-then, let go, bitch!"

"No."

"LET GO, NOW!"

"NO!" shouted Dashie, shaking and having her eyes closed.

"YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF-"

"SHUT UP!"

Aria flinched again, but she could kick Dashie in her leg, causing her to fall forward and got closer to Aria's face as she fell until they...kissed.

"...!?"

"...!"

Both girls froze up and couldn't move. They didn't know what to do and even started to blush.

"Oh god," thought Dashie, "I'm kissing her! This is my first kiss!"

"This is my first kiss?" thought Aria, "and it's with her? Oh, how embarrassing." She used her knee to knee kick Dashie in between her legs, breaking the kiss, but what happened next was something she never saw coming.

"AH!" screamed Dashie as she was forced to break the kiss, and her face landed between Aria's chest. She felt an explosion of pain. "O-Oh...Oh god..." which was completely replaced with a blast of softness.

Aria blushed but was confused.

"What the hell, puta?"

Dashie wasn't moving and seemed like she was dead, but that wasn't the case. She was just...lost in the feeling.

"So...soft and...squishy."

"Hey, what are you doing, you freak? Get off of me, now!"

"N-no. Can I stay here a little longer? This feels really nice."

"N-no!" Aria gritted her teeth, not liking what was happening. "Please. Get off... stop..." her voice sounded scared.

Dashie quickly snapped out of it and darted up, seeing Aria looking away and crying a bit.

"Oh no, what have I done?" Dashie glared at her lower half. "STUPID THING KEEPS TAKING OVER!" She looked back at Aria, feeling so sorry in how she acted just now.

"I-I hate you," muttered Aria.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. Please, I'm sorry." Dashie quickly got off of her. "Are you okay?"

Aria covered her eyes with her arm. "Fucking laugh! Go ahead! I can't believe someone like you beat me...LIKE THIS! Laugh, damn it, laugh!"

"But, I don't want to laugh at you. I'm not going to laugh at your pain. What I just did was wrong, so pl-"

"I can't protect my little sister now...because of you," muttered Aria.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Does Sonata need protection? Why?"

Aria looked away, not answering.

"Why would she need protection?"

"..."

Dashie started to get mad and worried. Why did her new friend need protection, and from who?

"Is she in danger?"

"..."

"If she is, then you have to tell me!"

"SHUT UP!" shouted Aria as she stood up. She glared at her and punched her back to the ground. "It's none of your business. Got it, bitch?"

"B-but-"

"Shut up, puta. I'm going back to class. Come back if you dare." Aria was about to leave, but she felt her hand being grabbed. She looked back and suddenly felt scared again, but for another reason, as Dashie was giving off a weird, sinister vibe.

"...break..."

"Huh?"

"...Breaker...BREAKER!" screamed Dashie, squeezing Aria's wrist hard, to the point that Aria could feel her wrist was going to break. "WHO'S GOING TO HURT SONATA!? TELL ME!"

"G-GAH! PLEASE LET GO!" screamed Aria as her arm felt like it was about to be ripped off.

"TELL ME NOW!"

"ITS ME! OKAY!? I COULDN'T PROTECT HER BACK THEN WHEN WE WERE STILL YOUNG!" Aria started to cry. "I thought she died...and when we found her, she went to our big sister, then to me. I'm the middle child, and my job is to protect my younger sibling, but I failed her. I didn't protect her when she needed me, and now..." Aria dropped to her knees. "She became scarred for life. Never wanting to be alone...ever."

Suddenly, Aria could feel her wrist being let go, but it was held again with care. She looked up and saw Dashie smiling sadly at her.

"I'm sure you did the best you could. I mean, it isn't easy taking care of a little sister. I should know. I have two of them. I love them, but they are really annoying because of how much they love me. To the point, I ignore them or outright don't want to be around them..." Dashie huffed at the thought. "But even then, they still love me. Just like you, Sonata will probably still love you, even if you can't protect her from everything."

"That's not the point," muttered Aria. "I couldn't protect her, and now, I'm not strong enough to do so."

"Then, you are going to have to get stronger, and that includes working on your anger issues. I'm sorry, but I'm not letting you go until you stop crying."

"Tch, I'm not going to-"

Aria couldn't finish her sentence as she felt her head being pushed into Dashie's chest.

"You aren't leaving until you stop crying," whispered Dashie.

"...why are you doing this?"

"Because it's the right thing to do. My grandmother always told me that hugs are good for the soul. So, take your time, and I'll stay here all day if I have to."

"You are a weird girl, you know that?"

"Yeah, so I've been told..." whispered Dashie, slightly sad.

"Thanks, puta."

"You're welcome, but please stop calling me whore."

Aria laughed. "...you understand Spanish?"

"Yes, and French, German, Italian, Japanese, and many more."

"Wow, you are a freaking loser."

"Hey!"

"Hehe, I'm kidding. Thanks, and I promise I'll try not to call you names...maybe..."

"I would prefer you not to do that, but thanks." Dashie could feel Aria's tears landing on her clothes. "Just take your time."

Meanwhile, Sunny opened the door and smiled. The instruments were all there, that she did a cute little dance, unaware of Dashie and Aria sneaky going into the hall and grabbing and tossing the things that Aria tossed out into the hall, back into the destroyed classroom. As Sunny was done with her dance, she turned to the class, who were now listening to music on their phones. "Hey now! If you want to listen to music, then grab an instrument. We will learn a few songs and have some fun."

The kids groaned, not wanting to do this, Aria and Dashie were sweating from putting everything into the classroom and closing it. They joined the class and went on to play a few songs and even sing a bit.

Sunny was about to play her next song when the bell rang, signaling that the school day had ended. "Looks like it's music time is over. There is no homework today, so enjoy your weekend. You kids are lucky that school started on a Friday!" Sunny turned around to place her red guitar in her case and pack her things. She didn't see the class leave, but Aria, Dashie, and the sleeping goth girl were still there. Sunny turned back. "Okay, just put the...oh..." She could see everyone was gone, only leaving the three girls before her.

"What me to put the instruments away, Sunny?" asked Dashie, putting away the keyboard.

"Yes, please, and thank you Dashie." She gave her step-daughter a warm smile. "I swear Dashie, you can be your one woman band in how you keep mastering all these instruments! You know, Twilah and Dashiell will be proud in you." Dashie felt so happy in hearing that, that Sunny remembered something from the past. "They told us stories of how they started a band with their friends in their last year of high school. I think they named it Rainboom Comets. After Blitz and her sister!" She remembered Twilah was a mean drummer and speaking of drumming, she turned to Aria. "And what about you, Aria? I can tell by how you played your drums that you are a pro."

Sunny remember Aria was playing the drums when the other students did the bare minimum. Only her and Dashie was truly rocking out.

"It's nothing."

"Well, it was excellent. You have a real talent there, Aria. I hope to see more of it."

"Thanks, teach." She got up and started to help Dashie put the instruments away.

Sunny eyed them, noticing something had happened between them, and they acted more...friendly.

"...this reminds me of how I acted around Blitz when we became friends. Like, Aria seemed she wanted to kick Dashie's ass when she threatened her, and Dashie seemed she was ready to cry, and yet, here they are, helping each other out." Sunny couldn't help but smile even more as she could see her younger self and Blitz in the two girls.

Sunny was going to help them, but she heard the goth girl's snoring. Sunny sighed. She needed to wake her up and tell her not to sleep through the whole class again.

As Sunny was dealing with that, Aria and Dashie put the instruments away in the storage room. As Aria put away the drum set, Dashie asked her if she was okay after their whole thing between them.

"Somewhat. Like, I feel better about the Sonata thing, but..."

"But what?"

Aria grabbed Dashie and pushed her into the far back of the room, then shut the door, leaving the two alone.

"Aria?" Dashie asked confusedly and worriedly as she stood back up but was quickly pinned to the wall.

"Listen, I have been thinking about this and will say it now."

"About what?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You know what I'm talking about."

"N-no. I don't know. What are you talking about?"

"..." Aria stared at Dashie, trying to read her expression. Dashie didn't seem to know. She sighed and smiled. "How the hell are you so...strong? Like, I beat a ton of strong people, but you? It's like you are something else, and that threatened aura you had..." She started to blush and let her go. "Shit, this is confusing! I don't like girls, but yet..." She turned slightly to Dashie and felt her heart skip a beat. "You look so cute and hot simultaneously, and it makes me want to smack and kiss your face."

"O-oh..." Dashie blushed as well but also felt weird about what Aria was saying. "M-Maybe you are BI? Or maybe-"

"Stop talking! I don't need this right now!" Aria grabbed Dashie by her shirt, pulled her close, and kissed her.

"!?"

Dashie was frozen in place. She had no idea what was happening. Why was Aria kissing her? She was free, and she could see Aria even more confused as if she couldn't understand her weird feelings.

"This...feels...weird. But..." Aria sighed and said sorry. "I'm just...trying to figure this out is all. Still, getting beat by another girl is so fucking embarrassing, but then the first kiss..." Aria let Dashie go. "It's whatever. You aren't going to say anything to anyone, right?"

"Uh, no. Your secret is safe with me." Dashie awkwardly smiled, really hoping this would end soon.

"Good. Well, thanks for the kiss. It helped me a lot, but don't get any ideas, okay? You aren't my type."

"Y-yeah."

Aria slowly scanned Dashie and laughed. "You look so damn weak, but underneath that, you are strong as fuck. I wish I were that strong, but it looks like you are one in a million." She got closer, closed her eyes, and had a smug smile as she forcibly lowered Dashie's pants and, somehow, her underwear. She opened her eyes, really to joke how Dashie was really a... "...w-what!?"

Dashie pushed her away and pulled her pants back up, feeling ashamed of herself. "Please, don't tell anyone! I'm really a girl, honest! I wasn't born like this, and please don't judge me." She was really close to crying, but what she heard Aria say super confused her.

"THANK GOD!"

"Huh?"

Aria walked closer and kissed Dashie again, this time with less confusion. Hell; her kiss was much more potent. She stopped kissing but was still close to Dashie's red face. "I'm not going to judge you, nor tell anyone, because of what I saw. If you see yourself as a girl, then that's okay. It's your body, after all. My sweet Lobo."

"W-Why!? Wolf!?"

Aria looked away, blushing more. "B-Because I follow what I saw my late mother do." She looked back at Dashie, feeling more in love with her. "The strong rule over the weak. Those who are weaker are meant to serve and submit to the stronger. Like in a Lobo pack!"

Dashie wasn't still getting it until she saw Aria looking...

"W-Wait...HOLD ON!"

Dashie started to lose it, as she felt something within her as she saw Aria, a brute of a woman...becoming cute as she looked so submissive. She could feel her lower trying to take over again.

"What's wrong, Dashie?" asked Aria, not realizing she called Dashie by her name for the first time.

"H-How? How did this happen!?"

"Hmm?" Aria got closer, her eyes becoming a lot more darker and lustful. "I'm sorry, Lobo. But the strong must always win. Now, please, take charge and make me yours. Show me!"

"..."

"..."

Dashie had a quick flash of a naughty vision of she and Aria but she pushed it out of her mind before it could finish taking shape. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" screamed Dashie as she ran past Aria, out of the room and out the door, leaving the confused and shocked Aria behind.

Aria snapped her fingers as she wanted Dashie to show off more of her strength like she did before. "Oh, come on, Lobo! You are the alpha, not me! Come back and show me more of your strength!" But she suddenly went red, realizing that what she said before could be taken out of context. "O-OH, NOT THAT KIND OF STRENGTH OR TAKING IN CHARGE, YOU STUPID MUTT! COME BACK! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT! I MEANT YOUR STRENGTH! SHOW ME MORE OF THAT!"

Aria ran out of the storage room, only to find Sunny waving goodbye to the sleepy goth girl. Sunny noticed Aria and walked over.

"Hey, Aria, remember what I said about you being great at the drums? Well, I wanted to ask if-"

"WHERE'S THAT MUTT!?"

"Huh? Who are you calling a mutt?" asked Sunny, taking the insult to heart.

"Not you! That...that..."

"That?"

Aria blushed as she looked away. "Dashie! Okay? I need to talk to her!"

Sunny tipped her head in confusion. Until she noticed how Aria was behaving, like she was in... "Oh....OH!" She cheerfully smiled. "Dashie has someone who loves her! This is so sweet! But wait, why was it one-sided, then? Dashie is like Blitz..." She had quick flashes of her own one-sided love with Blitz when they were younger until Blitz realized she loved her. Sunny shook her head. "No! I won't let Dashie pull a Blitz on this poor girl! Plus, Blitz showed us that photo of that girl who was with Dashie in gym class. Blitz might think it's just friendship, but since I know better... it's not. This poor girl has a rival!" Thought Sunny, crossing her arms and nodding at herself.

"Hello? Are you done thinking about yourself?" asked Aria, tapping her foot in annoyance as Sunny stood and thought about something.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry!" Sunny smiled at her and became blunt. "You love Dashie, right?"

Aria jumped, hearing her secret being revealed. She glared at her teacher and raised her fists. "Are you going to blackmail me!? I won't hesitate to-"

"To what?" Sunny glared back as she, too, raised her fist. Her old self emerged but quickly faded as she remembered she could be fired for fist-fighting a student. "Look, why would I blackmail a student with feelings for another student? Besides, I want to help you and Dashie get together!"

That took aback Aria.

"What?"

"You heard me. Look, I've been in the same boat as you! And I will tell you this now: someone else has eyes on Dashie right now, so you had better stop hiding your feelings because Dashie is like her stupid mother. Do you want a one-sided love story that the other person never sees? Because I won't let Dashie repeat the mistakes her mother did to me at the sam-"

"STOP!" Aria couldn't handle it anymore and covered her ears, as this was too embarrassing for her. "Stop talking, you crazy bitch! I get it, but what can I do? I don't even know what to do!" But she suddenly looked at Sunny. "Wait, someone else has eyes on that mutt?"

"Yeah, a girl in the same gym class as Dashie."

"WHAT!?" Aria grabbed Sunny's arm. "TELL ME WHO! BECAUSE THAT LOBO BELONGS TO ME!"

"What? No! Look, the best thing you can do is." Sunny placed her hands on Aria's shoulders, giving her a sweet and motherly smile. "Drop the tough act and let your feelings in when you are around her. Don't think too hard about it; go with the flow. Okay?"

"Uh..." Aria couldn't answer because she was overwhelmed with what was happening.

"I know, but I want you to know this. There is an old saying among us types that goes, 'If you are not the predator, then you are the prey.' Do you get it? If you don't attack, that girl will attack you. You need to be-"

"A prey for them to devour and claim as theirs, I got it. Thanks for the advice, teach."

"Oh, no problem. See you Monday, and I hope we can discuss what I really wanted to discuss with you, but I won't take any more of your time. Have a nice weekend!"

Sunny waved goodbye to Aria, who stood there, confused yet determined.

"I'm a prey for the mutt, huh? The way they acted makes sense. Fine, if that's how you want it, I'll be your prey." She started to walk down the hall, blushing and smiling as she remembered how powerful Dashie was. "But you must work for this prey because I won't go down easily." She started thinking of Dashie pinning her down, making her more happy. "...or maybe I will...if it's you..."

She left, not knowing Sunny was watching her go.

"You are a good kid, and I'm happy Dashie is in good hands." She stopped waving, took out her phone, and texted Wallflower. "Wallflower is going to love this!" She walked back into the wrong classroom and looked, seeing it in ruin. "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

As Aria was leaving and still in her thoughts, she bumped into someone as she turned a corner.

"Watch where you are going, assh-huh!?" said Aria and Sol in unison. "YOU!"

Sol took a stance, ready to take her on since their little fight was cut short, but she was surprised to see Aria walk by her and Dahlia.

"Hey!? Where are you going!? I thought we were going to fight it out?"

Aria waved her off. "I don't have time for you! But.." She stopped, turned, and pointed at the sisters. "TELL THAT MUTT I'M GOING TO CLAIM HER AS MINE ALPHA! BEFORE THAT GIRL IN HER CLASS DOES!"

Sol blinked a few times. "W-what?"

Aria smirked and walked off, leaving the two girls confused. Sunny left the classroom when she heard yelling down the hall and sighed when she saw her daughter and Dahlia.

"You better not be picking fights with one of my students, young lady."

Sol crossed her arms and looked away.

"I wasn't mom, we just know her." Sol could see the big, happy smile on her mom's face. "What are you smiling about?"

"Well, I have a surprise for you and your sister!"

"Really? What?" asked Dahlia.

"Your big sister, Dashie, has someone who loves her! They might be dating soon! It's the girl you saw walk by!"
Dahlia's body was shaken with shock and fear. "What!?"

Sol's mouth dropped as well.

"What?"

"Yup and there's another girl too I believe. Your mother, Blitz, believes it's just friendship, but you know her. Too blind to see what's there. But don't worry, I told the girl not to let Dashie pull the same crap your mother pulled on me when we were younger. But don't tell Blitz that I told you. She might make things complicated. Same with your big sister."

Sol's heart dropped.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no." Sol couldn't believe it. She looked at Dahlia, who was reacting the same.

Two sisters nodded at each other. Both became as threatening-looking as they could.

"We are not losing our big sister to some stupid girls," said Sol, her see-through magical horn becoming slightly solid.

"Right, only we can make our big sister happy in life. She doesn't need anyone else to love her! Big sister isn't like others; only we can bring her happiness!" Dahlia said as her bangs slightly moved, revealing her dark eyes and pure green iris.

"Huh?" Sunny wasn't sure what was going on, but she suddenly remembered her fear of her own daughter and Wallflower's daughter being 'too close' to Dashie in that way. "Oh, no, I should have kept my mouth shut..."

Sunna and Arev were outside waving goodbye to the students when they were surprised by a sudden purple blur that ran past them.

Dashie kept running as fast as her legs could carry her.

"I'M A GIRL!" she screamed in her head. "I'M A GIRL!"

She had to make it home to her safe space within her home. She kept running, not caring if she passed any traffic or people.

"I'M A GIRL! SHE CAN'T LOVE ME! I'M NOT WHAT SHE THINKS I AM! I'M A GIRL! NOT A-A-A..."

Dashie couldn't finish it because she felt so disgusted by what she was. She could hear people talking, but she couldn't hear them. It was a sea of murmurs and sounds, nothing else. She needed to go home, and home she did go.

Dashie reached her house, unlocked the door, and slammed it behind her as she breathed heavily.

"Welcome back sweetie! How was your-huh?" said Lucy, seeing her daughter on the floor, rocking back and forth, crying.

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

"I'm a girl! I'M A GIRL!" cried Dashie as her tears fell.

Lucy quickly knew what was wrong and hurried over to her. "You are sweetie! What happened!?" She started to worry and fear someone saw 'it' as she didn't want her daughter to go to school in the first place and be homeschooled instead.

Dashie couldn't respond, but Lucy understood why and held her.

"It's okay, sweetie. I'm here for you."

Dashie screamed as she pushed her mother off.

"YOU AREN'T! WHY DID YOU AND MOM LOVE EACH OTHER, KNOWING WHAT KIND OF CHILD YOU WILL BE CARRYING!?" she ran up the stairs. "I HATE YOU!" she ran down the hall and slammed a door.

Lucy felt so heartbroken. She took out her phone and called Blitz, who picked up.

"Get home right now! Our daughter is having another identity crisis! It's getting worse! Just hurry!" Lucy hung up. She stepped back from the door, and within seconds, a sonic boom could be heard; soon, Blitz was bursting down the door.

"I'M HERE! WHERE IS SHE!?"

End of chapter 4
