even look around, hurrying to her dear friend to chat.

Suddenly, right under her feet spilled white mess of goo and slime.

Rina did not understand what happened looking at her brand-new dress puzzled and frustrated, and then looked up and screamed.

Female heart-rending cry filled all four floors of the school, echoes reflected in the hallways, getting into the noisy audiences through the windows.

“What's this? “ Behind the back of girl's appeared heads of curious schoolchildren, boys in jackets and girls in beautiful blouses.

Rina could not even breathe from fear, motionless she looked at creature, fluttering at the distance of arm's length from her.

Huge, covered with slime, smelly and growling - it somewhat resembled tailless fish with a very long neck, and very hungry eyes.

“What is it?“ whispered students of junior classes, watching from behind the backs of their older comrades, who did not dare to come closer and take away frightened peer.

The creature finally freed itself, opened its thin wet wings, rose on two narrow legs and stretched long neck.

It looked right, left, focused the sight on the nearest girl and opened an elongated maw full of sharp fangs.

Rina again yelled in an unnatural voice and staggered backwards, but tripped and fell on her back. “Monster? Beast! “ Voices of schoolchildren poured out of the corridor.

The most daring of them rushed to the helpless Rina, picked up her by the arms and dragged back to the exit.

“Call someone! Police!“ Wailed dyed blonde most beautiful girl of the school, who served as deputy head of the school board.

“Flee!“ Aria addressed all too curious students, but the guys who paid attention to it, only began to stick their fingers, panic and the exchange words.

A monster of absolutely ungainly forms turned his neck to her, staring with enormous dull eyes directly at Aria. Then it hissed like a snake, but much fiercer and louder.

Seemed it sensed her presence, because turned back to the school children crowding near staircase and rushed straight to Aria, clinging to the fence.

It remained a matter of moments before a dull, long snout with sharp fangs would sink into her snow- white blouse.

Aria closed her eyes, hearing the cries of classmates and other children, their cries and lamentations, the roar of a furious monster racing to her, beating of her own heart.

“No, Aria!“ Rina came to her senses after the shock and began to break out of the hands of the head of the council, who came to rescue before the rest of others on her scream, and reach hands toward her friend.

“Let go! She must be saved! Aria!“ She was crying so loudly that even the creature stopped and turned its gaze towards previous victim.

The creature was terribly hungry, and, frankly, it didn't care much, with whom to initiate its meal - a strange girl from school number 129 or a group of children of different ages crowding near the doorway. Aria understood – there was no time left to think, she had to act - desperate to save the school children and Rina.

“Hey! I'm here!“ She called, holding out her hand towards a monotonous monster. She ran, but not from him, but towards him. Aria fingers clutched the gray muck of his improvised shoulder, sticking in a single thrust, all ten claws that had grown on her graceful arm in the same moment.

Monster curved, striking the tail on the ground and roared in pain.

“What is she doing?“ amazed one of newly appeared witnesses, pointing to Aria winding and dodging feet and tail of unusual creature.

And Aria was actually fighting.

Elegant, like a whip, tail hung over her shoulders and the girl had to jump aside to avoid its stroke, part of the roof on the strength of which split and formed a crack.

“Wow!“ amazed all the the same eyewitness. Rina turned pale and became like a plaster doll, her hands clasped to white. She could not believe that it was her dear friend there, fighting with the nameless monster, her peer. And that she with every stroke became less and less similar to a human...

Aria felt suffocated for a moment, when paw of the monster crossed with sharp claws by her shirt, but she managed to get away by diving under the predator and jumping out at his back.

She ran to the opposite edge of the roof and from there began waving her hands, beckoning to the furious monster.

“Hey! Overgrown slug! Here I am! Catch me if you can!“ in a loud voice cried Aria and the monster in the liquid peel crawled to her. Its motion was too quick, as though of a spineless.

But Aria was ready - her claws had grown to the desired length, her eyes blazing invisible in bright sunlight, her hair discreetly rearing, acquiring imperceptible volume.

Amarna - was not human, she was not mortal, and blood streaming in her veins was not red.

Only up to today no one knew about it.

No one knew also about the fact that Amarna and Aria Howard are the same person, only in different visual "packaging". It is not necessary to speculate about how much makeup or right choice of clothes can change the appearance.

About that Amarna was not born in this quiet town, knew only two, and both were her blood relatives.

And now about that Aria Howard is abnormal will whisper the whole city, the entire school fraternity. “Come on, come to me! “ Smoothed folds of the checkered dress were scattered in the wind, playing waves. Hair militantly wavered behind, in a lush black wave.

If anyone from the school could look into the eyes of their "classmate" then would be horrified at what they would see there.

Pupil in them becoming narrowed similar to a serpent's, and the eye itself was shadowed by a blood- ginger shroud.

When the stinking breath of "slug" has poisoned the close air, and its crooked teeth were hanging just above the head of the girl, she jumped at the beast, pressing both hands into its chest, pushing with all her weight on the mucus-covered skin.

Slender fingers, like claws of a vulture, got to the soft tendon, and cut it.

The creature reared, desperately trying to shake off a stubborn opponent, but did not manage.

The next instant second hand of Aria dug into veined flesh to the elbow, and tore up similarity of heart pulsating inside.

The alien had no time to even make a sound, collapsing on the ground in a pile of dead flesh, dousing fountains of slime onto the gray roof of the school building.

Aria quickly gathered breath, getting up from knees and at the same time casually flicking away the remnants of mucus.

About the purity she could forget, and say goodbye to new things. All of it from head to toe was mired in foul transparent slush - that replaced blood of the jelly monster.

But the skirt she still decided to shake off.

Schoolchildren, meanwhile whispered earnestly, deciding among themselves how to relate to what they have seen there. Maybe it's a mass hallucination or a consequence of some disease? Others in terror glanced at the girl who defeated the monster, talking with friends. Third limply applauded.

Rina did not even approach.

Aria looked at the huddled together in a dense ring crowd and a heavy sigh escaped from her chest. Normal life was finished for her. She could not turn everything around.

People saw her true appearance, albeit not full, too many witnesses had this unusual school fight. Fear was literally in the air, filling the autumn air with delicate fragrance of tickling and bitter cumin. Of cumin also smelled the stranger from before, who must have brought here this creature. Only his smell was very different from the plume of the terrified crowd.

His aroma Aria could now never forget, luscious and acute, it smelled of spices and ... cumin.

From defeated monster was not was nothing left but wide puddles on the gray roof. But in the memory of all those people her triumphant battle will be captured for years to come.

You can not scroll, like film, their experiences and to cut out the bits you want.

She was discovered, and that means it's time to go.

The girl turned her back to the assembled crowd, and glanced down at her feet. On this part of the roof the protective fence has not been installed and before Aria stretched the city from a height of four and a half floors.

She, without hesitation, stepped into it, hearing behind her back alarmed cries, words and even pleading, seems, she was called by Rina.

Girl finally came to senses and ran after the desperate girl, but when she ran together with the head of the school board to the edge, she did not found smashed body of Aria on the school track below.

The girl had disappeared without a trace, as if dissolved in air.

All around was the only city with its ever vibrant and bustling streets, and in the air was scent of autumn and freshness of the wind.
