Turn the lights down low, if you wanna.

Heading to his classroom, Jack couldn't help but think he had picked the wrong subject to even teach. Sure, he knew the human body and different styles of fighting and such; but oh he knew... he knew that his classroom would probably be full of smart-asses. Just like that... that woman. Sighing lightly he rubbed some sleep from his eyes and continued to walk down the hallway, his boots pretty much warning everyone that he was coming. No matter what he did, for some strange reason he just couldn't get her out of his head. An obnoxious woman who accused him of being a pathetic beast and Jack just couldn't stop thinking about her. Life just really wasn't that fair.

Turning the corner he stopped momentarily to adjust the bag that had been falling of off his shoulder. It was filled with various daggers, and a few swords stuck out of the top of it. Oh, what a day this would be.

It was almost like she saw him coming.
Wait-
Of course she saw him coming, that's the only thing her power can do. Ever since that night she was picked up simply by some student who had been taking a midnight stroll, she had improved but needless to say she had a hard time holding anything. Her hands were useless as a lot of the nerves in her wrists her shot. This was nothing in comparison to how she had been shaken up then left for dead.
Despite this though, she was was anything but depressed.
Lian doesn't get depressed or wounded. Lian is no wounded animal; however she never forgets.

So when she picked herself up this morning, and when the nurse wanted to keep her down, she had none of it. Perhaps naturally- this simply wouldn't do. Lian not only kicked a chair at the poor nurse, but she also threatened to have the poor nurse fired if she wouldn't let Lian out of the local hospital. Needless to say she was discharged only thirty minutes afterwards- Lian is no one to mess with. It's school, she wasn't necessarily excited to be going to her classroom and mostly just prepping but she wanted people to know that she was stronger than some stupid beast.

Perhaps this was because she was given far too much time to think on what happened. The more she thought of it, the more her blood boiled and the more sensitive her powers got. It was getting so bad that people were actually noticing a sort of strange aura about Lian- needless to say she was completely screwing up the Aether around her. To most people it just made them suddenly feel a little unpleasant but for no apparent reason. To Lian, this annoyance as well as her ever present fury, was simply fueling her feelings of deep hatred for that beast.

It was no surprise then when Lian turned to corner to her classroom. Her arms were bandaged heavily and wrapped all way to her mid-palm up to her elbows. Her hair was put up with extra care and dedication, as though this neat bun would somehow make up for the fact that she almost just the other night. Blood transfusions were apparently nothing for this girl. She was wearing no kind of makeup however her skin looked mildly flushed- as though her body was still getting used to actually having blood after nearly being drained. She was wearing neatly ironed gray pinstripe dress pants, boring looking unassuming black flats, and nice blouse- obviously this girl wanted to make a statement as though the cold death glare wasn't enough. Instead of carrying anything, as she literally couldn't, Lian had a backpack for her papers and such.

This didn't distract her from that menace. Knowing exactly where she was going, she took the backpack off her back- she estimated it weight a little over ten pounds simply because of the several water bottles she was ordered to carry around with her, and risked breaking the stitches by storming up the Beast himself and dropped the backpack to the floor. Instantly Aether froze- not that it really matters- and she sucker punched right on the nose. "FUCK YOU!"

Mildly surprised by the attack, Jack blinked and rubbed his nose slightly as if a fly had landed on it. "Well, that might have straightened my nose back up," he commented sarcastically. It was almost as if he had forgotten what had happened and in truth he sort of did. Jack's memory was always a little foggy for the time he's a wolf... so as a human Jack doesn't realize that he eats ALL those people. Looking down at Lian, the corners of his lips dipped down slightly as he realized it was her. Jack didn't say anything though about it, he just assumed she worked here like he did.

By some miracle she didn't reopen her fresh wounds- this is probably why she was supposed to be in the hospital. Oh that didn't really stop her. "You're pathetic, you eat children and attack women. Might I ask what you wouldn't do to get just ONE more second to live your pathetic life?" She asked leaning on her tip toes so she was as close eye level as she could manage. "I'm not one of them, you can chop me up and throw me in a stew but you will never have power over me. I don't fear you, I've met sniveling dogs with more power than you have." She laughed, her face paled a little in a sort of creepy way as she laughed. She wasn't going to have this guy near her until she had her say.

It was then that she realized that he worked as a teacher. That wouldn't do. That really just wouldn't do. "First I'm going to have you fired," She nearly spat at him, picking up her backpack and slinging it over her shoulder gracefully as she took a few robotic steps toward the administration building.

Jack stared blankly at Lian as she rambled, you see as a human he really wasn't that effected by her taunting as he was when he was a wolf. Shrugging lightly as she walked by him, Jack didn't even realize that the principle herself was coming upon both of them.


With almost the exact same stride as Lian, Cleo was walking toward the angry Lian and the indifferent Jack with a stiff sort of expression on her face. She had her hair up in a loose bun and had the appropriate attire that any woman principle would have. As she walked toward the two though, Cleo seemed to shrink into herself and she immediately dreaded coming this way. Why hadn't she just said she was sick today? Already Cleo was fretting over Lian's angry look, was she going to quit? Did something terrible happen? Cleo's face tightened even more in worry.

Lian stopped directly in front of her. She was nearly shaking in fury that was obvious to anyone who had eyes. For a few seconds Lian just glared at this woman. "Are you mentally retarded?" Lian asked intensely, she had a horrible glare that could drive emo kids to kill themselves instantly. She was a sort of cold, calm furious- as though at any one moment she would snap and turn into some kind of fire monster. Lian probably could honestly become a fire monster on demand.

"You do realize that he's a werewolf who eats children right?" She said nearly slapping this woman. "How many ways do you have to be incompetent to possibly allow this mutant to teacher kids he's more likely to eat than treat fairly?" She was never so pissed off as she was right then. It was like this whole school was just completely senile. No one knew what they were doing- whoever thought hiring a senile werewolf who eats human flesh to be a teacher obviously had one sick sense of humor. "I'm sure you enjoy instilling fear and dark hatred at this school but for the love of God, I will not condone you throwing these civilians into the flames of hell. What does he teach? How to Eat Orphans 101?!" She asked before moving on. "Do you know what these are?" Lian suddenly asked as she held up her healing, bandaged arms. With that same cold glare she undid the button on the bandages of her left arm and unwrapped it to show a pretty gruesome sight. "Count them, I dare you. Unless you can't count in which case there are 64 of them. 64 stitches. Do you know how I got these nasty gashes? It's because that monster decided to try to bleed my dry." Lian was furious, that much was obvious, but now she was getting downright mean.

"There is no possible excuse you can give me to rationalize that thing even being alive. For the sake of everyone involved, he needs to disappear." Lian finally said as she shot an especially intense cold glare at Jack.

As Jack spotted Cleo, his whole demeanor seemed to change and he smiled easily at the nervous looking principle. Everything about him seemed to scream polite gentleman, whereas early he was just man-beast... or something of the sort.

Cleo blinked stupidly at Lian as the woman yelled at her, who on earth could she be talking about? Frowning slightly she looked at Jack then back at Lian with a puzzled and nervous look on her face all at once. Of course no one really enjoyed being yelled at, but this... this was just downright degraded. Taking a deep breath and fighting the urge to pass out right there, unconsciously she folded her arms infront of her chest. "You mean Jack?" Cleo said still with a puzzled frown. She was a little horrified at the sight of her arm, but other than that Cleo was mostly scared and confused. "You couldn't possibly mean that pleasant man over there," Cleo said nodding at Jack. She then turned her whole body to Lian, a serious expression on her face. She had trained herself not to crumble under moments like these, that's how she got to be at the head of this school... because she worked hard at what she wanted. Taking another deep breath she shook her head slightly as she spoke, "I would prefer it though if you wouldn't talk to me like that Ms. Wang," she said in a soft serious tone. "I hired you because I thought you would be a good teacher, but it would be just as easy as to fire you and find someone else to take your place," with a small frown she glanced back at Jack then at Lian again trying her hardest not to breakdown right there. In attempt to calm herself she then added, "Jack teaches Combat... I picked him because he's a very intelligent man and can teach children how to defend themselves."
