"Heheh, well that explains it. Crimson's never been good at keeping track of the time. Have to remind her about the little things. Oh don't worry about the desk either, if nothing else one of our staff can turn it into a good woodworking project. Not the first time it's happened." He smiled, laughing as he saw the mark and guessed what had happened to cause it. At least he knew one thing about Bella beyond any shadow of a doubt, he didn't want to get on her bad side when those claws could come out.

*Well I just have a problem whit guys try to flirt whit me. I hate it. Who dose they think I am? A princes? Or a gift or a trophy? NO way!* Her claws begin to come out as he get a little bit more angry. She look at it and take some deep breath to come down. *Sorry about it. I just got so angry. And yes but I did have a great time making food whit her and meeting all her children. Guss one of the children was really impressive by my passport*

"Oh I completely understand, definitely not cool when they think they can own you. Heh, told you it'd be a good stop to make and glad the kids like you too. It's hard to get all of them to like a stranger at first but sounds like you made a good impression." And that alone was enough to reduce his worries. Crimson might have a bit of a problem history with the "bad boy" type but her kids not so much. If they were fine with Bella then he should relax more and just keep the same sort of attention on her that he gave to everyone else.

Bella smiled at him good thing that he was more relax over for her and now were she got a good friend in Crimson he might think she is not so bad after all. * that is the great thing about Italy all the boys like blond Scandinavian girls.* She smiled at him thinking it was nice that he could understand. Her phone start to ring. She take a short look it was from on of the Mafia bosses. She take some steps away back in the class room and starts to speak as she pack her things together. She was talking Italian. Or more like yelling at the person in the phone and make one more mark in the desk.

Now the snake professor didn't speak much Italian, in fact he spoke very little... about seven words. Yes, No, "Whack" "Neatly" and "Payment In Advance" basically rounded out his comprehension but he could still recognize the language when he heard it. Well she was Italian so it stood to reason that her family would speak it right? He waited patiently in case she needed anything else, knowing how those family calls could sometimes go.

Bella close the phone and was about to smash the phone in the wall. *I hate this family sometimes.* She look at him and smiled a little bit and see the limo out the window holding at the front gate.* well I guess I have to go for a Short trip.* she know that if she was in trouble she could always hide at the restaurant and work to the troubels have left the town. But he might ask her what she hat done after she comm back to the school but she could always find a way out

"Well if you need an excuse to get out of it, tell them an exaggeration that this project's going to be worth a big chunk of your grade and you have to focus on it instead. Or if you need an excuse later on, it would still probably be nice to meet the headmaster I guess. Of course, if you don't need an excuse and you want to go deal with family or whatever, by all means go ahead." Class was already out so she didn't have to worry about missing anything else, he was just hanging around waiting to see what was going on with her really, she seemed to be in a good mood one moment then a sour one the next.

* Well I will think of that but I think it is best to go now. I guess I see you latter to class.* She smiled at him a little bit and walk out of the class room and out the window he could see her walking over to the car.

A big fat rat(Don Milow) comes out of the limo and take a big step against her and pull her up in her shirt.*Do you know how many stupid things you have done today? You are lucky you dad is not here right now.* He shout really loud. He gave her some big smack on the side of her head.*Do you want to go to prision you stupid bitch?*

Bella try to get loss of his hand by biting him* Let go of me. I have done nothing wrong.* She pull out her claws and starts to scratch him.

Don Milow let go of her and give her a kick to get her away.* Now you go in the car and we gonna have a little talk* Tow men walks out of the limo and pule her up and sit her in the limo.

Athos only by chance happened to be looking out the window when he saw her being dragged into the limo, dashing down to try and catch up with it or find some way to keep up with it. She might be up to something while she was here but she certainly wasn't volunteering to be dragged off like that, and at the very least they should know how to treat a lady. If he was lucky they'd still be parked there, if not he'd have to chase them on his bike.

Don Milow did see Artho come running out of the school and pull out a small pocket gun* Don't come any closer if you know what is good for you and the bitch* he point the gun against a open window in the limo and was slowly trying to opened the door still have his eyes on the dragon.

Bella scream in side the limo they were trying to put hand cuffs on her paws and give her a lot of hits.* Let me go. I don't want to do this* She saw one of them find a razor. * no don't do it. I promise to do as you say* She did know it hurts like hell to get her fur cut of. Most of the time she heard about people getting fur save of they dump them of in the wild sometimes whit cloth sometimes whit out.

* The best thing you can do is to turn around and forget all about us. Do you understand me* He still hold the gun in side the limo

"Let. Her. Go. Now. Or Else." A gun, yeah, like the snake was really that bothered by someone waving it at him. This was either a really foolish local boss or just headstrong hired muscle, the boss was always smart enough to know even getting their prints on something was a bad idea. Well on the positive side Athos never left himself unarmed, the question running through his mind right now was knife or gun, and knife would probably look better for him. "Alright, I don't have time for you and all this, so now you're gonna feel some pain." He'd never missed a throw. Athos made it one quick, fluid movement pulling the dagger out of its hiding place and letting it fly right at the hand holding the firearm. And at the same time, hit a little pager button with his other hand so he could have some emergency backup in the form of a massive black dragon on his way. If the limo got out of here it wouldn't hurt to have Blake land on it and rip her free.

Don Milow scream as the knife was stuck in his arm and let go of the pistol * Quick you Losers let go of the bitch we can always pic her up later* he opened the door and Bella got throw out of the limo and the fat rat jumped in the limo and they start to drive away.

Bella was really hurt and a large piece of her tail fur was shaved of. Her cloth was ripes of she only have her skirt and bra left. She look really nervous up at Athos she was felling so humiliated but a little bit happy to be safe but was not sure what was going on after the rat have left. Could she go back and visit her mother again whit out getting to meet his farther? She felt a little pain of the tight handcuffs around her paws.

"Right, let's get you inside before they actually get their nerve back and try something stupid. Damn shame that knife's still in his arm, guess I'll have to get it back from him the hard way sooner or later. Well, now you know one of the reasons I'm school security too." Hopefully she didn't figure it all out but he had a feeling she was too worried about her appearance and what this all meant for her than any details about him. The snake looked down and carefully took the gun with a plastic bag. And what would he do with this thing, not like he'd be able to use it, not his style or his favorite make.

Bella looked at him:* pleas just let me go. I am not really safe whit a knife throwing guy. Come back later when you want to tell me the truth.* She take one of her sharp claws and try to opened the keyhole to her handcuffs. She know she could do it and she was not going to ask him to help her. Not until she was sure she could make it on her own. She look up at the windows and see some of the students looking down at her she really fled like she was like some kind of beast. She try to get up on her feet but she was really hurt in her legs.* would you be kind to carry me up to my room sir?* she whisper to him. She was not happy to say that to another person. She has always learn by her mother than it is really bad if you can't help you self

"Safer than if you had been left with them I bet. Come on, I'll get you inside and take care of this." Blake came down to a heavy landing beside him, turning and glaring at the windows where all the students suddenly vanished from to avoid his accusing looks. "Okay Blake, there's a few guys that have been going around in a limo. If they get near this school again, send them packing by any means necessary. Heheh, even if it means picking up the limo and tossing it in the lake." It sounded like something out of a super hero cartoon or comic book but actually depending on the size and weight of the occupants Blake probably could lift a limo. Maybe not throw it into a lake, more like slowly walk it to one and dump it in, but the image was still something Athos liked to picture. Good thing the towering black dragon was on their side, as he helped Bella into the school and quickly up toward her room.
