Chapter Two: Shedu

Mandy sat in class later that afternoon. So far it hadn't been too bad but
she was now acutely aware of how close people were to her and got a few
strange looks when she would leap out of someone's way to avoid contact in
the hallway. She also refused to take off her gloves and coat which
probably earned her a reputation as the 'weird girl' and 'troublemaker'
among the faculty.

Sadly there was a moment when she simply had to dress down. Gym class. The
eleven-year-old found a corner in the back of the girls changing room and
stripped down to her panties, not really needing a bra and she was warm
enough without a vest.

"Look at all that flesh," Mandy sighed as The Demon had appeared out of
thin air again. She was sitting directly in front of a girl who wasn't
wearing a vest either, staring directly at her chest, "I love little
girls," she cooed as she tugged on one of her nipples, "I bet she's going
to grow a fine rack one day, maybe you can be her friend?"

Mandy ignored The Demon, knowing full well that she would seem insane for
effectively talking to herself. "You can speak to me in your head Kavorka,"
Mandy shivered, it was like someone was whispering directly into her ear.

"I can?" Mandy thought and was a little surprised to get a reply.

"We're linked," The Demon reminded Mandy, still watching that same girl who
had now turned and bent over to put on her gym shorts, "You also have power
else telepathy wouldn't work on you." The Demon leaned in to get a good
look at the girl's little butt.

"You mean I have magic powers?"

"You're still just a child," she was reminded, "So it's not great yet."

The Demon was startled by the yell of the Gym teacher. "New girl, stop
standing there in your panties and change, we're waiting on you," she
grumbled something under her breath as she walked away. Mandy realized that
she had stopped changing to speak to The Demon.

"I say don't change and go as you are," The Demon had disappeared again,
"Or you could ditch the panties and get naked?" She was like some perverted
Jiminy Cricket whispering into her ear as her conscience.

"Yeah that'd make you happy right?" She felt immense satisfaction but she
somehow knew it wasn't her own.

"I can make you naked whenever I want too," The Demon told her, "But I know
that'll only get you in trouble and that's only fun if they spank you," She
felt a pang of longing, "I miss the fifties."

"I miss my mom," Mandy growled but received no retort.

Gym class was nerve racking. It was volleyball today and that meant a lot
of jumping, bouncing and unintentional impacts. The Demon had gone again
which was fine, Mandy needed to focus on not accidentally colliding any of
the other girls.

"Why do gym clothes have to be so loose?" she thought to herself as she
watched one girl's shirts ride up, showing off her stomach. Everything
seemed to be going fine though she participated but from a safe distance
and no one really seemed to notice, or care.

Towards the end of the game though she made a particularly good shot and
scored the winning point. Cheers erupted on her side and the girls
approached her, arms outstretched. She almost let them, she been on the
baseball team back at her old school so she was used to victory hugs.

Then her mind snapped back to her new reality. She was Kavorka now and
these girls didn't deserve to have their lives ruined because of one
hug. She was surrounded on all sides and had only a second to think before
the mass of friendly tweens made contact. It was like an adorable horde of
zombies.

She clenched her fist, turned and smashed one girl in the face. Blood
spurted from the girl's nose as she fell back onto the floor. She may have
made skin on skin contact but the girl was unconscious before she could do
anything though Mandy did feel immensely guilty.

"New girl!" shouted the gym teacher who began to walk up to her, "What in
blue blazes was that about!" The teacher made to grab her bare arm but
Mandy saw it coming and elbowed her right in the groin area. The teacher
doubled over in pain and Mandy made a run for it.

She grabbed her things from the changing rooms and made her escape off
campus. "How mean" she heard The Demon say beside her. She kept pace with
Mandy who was a good runner though it took a second for Mandy to notice
that her naked companion was floating, "That girl was just trying to be
nice."

Mandy glared at the Demon, "I didn't want them to get in trouble because of
me."

"You could have just let her touch you, imagine all those pretty little
girls naked on the floor," The Demon made a sound of happiness, "I love
naked little girls."

"No, people just hurt me," Mandy indicated to her shoulder which was
slightly better than before.

"Oh yeah I decided to speed up the healing process on that," The Demon was
now floating backwards, "I felt a little guilty for that one."

Mandy had cleared the campus so she ducked into an alleyway and stopped to
catch her breath. "Do you feel guilty for my Mom?" she asked The Demon,
looking at the naked thing angrily. The Demon was now walking again. She
gave her girl an uncaring look and simply shrugged.

"Human lives don't bother me unless I claim them." she walked with her
hands behind her back, "I acted in my nature, just like you humans do."

"You ruined my life you know," Mandy shouted angrily, "My Mom was the best,
she was everything to me!"

"Now I'm your everything," The Demon stated, "Unless you don't want my
protection?"

Mandy was angry now. "You know what," she walked up to The Demon and simply
squared up to her. The Demon only smiled, slightly baring her fangs, "Why
don't you go away and leave me alone, you're the reason my mother died, why
my Uncle is going to spend the rest of his life in prison and why my Auntie
Mavis hates me." Her emotions got the better of her and she made a swing
for The Demon but her fist only met thin air.

The Demon was gone, both in the real world and from her mind. That empty
feeling came back but she blocked it out and sighed. "Good," Mandy said
under her breath.

Mandy turned to leave the alleyway but stopped, something didn't feel
right. She reached her hand out and felt resistance even though nothing was
there, like an invisible barrier. How did she know it was even there?

"Kavorka," a booming voice resounded behind Mandy, deep and challenging,
"Turn to face me." Mandy turned around and screamed loudly at what she
saw. "It is honorable to introduce oneself before combat so know that I am
Drakk of the Shedu," the beast announced as it walked towards her. She
noted his human face but was more startled because it had the body of what
looked like a cow, no, a bull.

The beast known as Drakk stopped just short of her, towering high over the
young girl. Drakk had no arms, not like one of those Centaur that Mandy had
read about in Harry Potter and instead it was simply a human head and neck
on the body of a bull. A long, magnificent, beard fell almost to the floor
and a golden ring adorned his nose which lay upon a scarred and rugged
face.

"I come to end your life Kavorka," Drakk said bluntly as he looked at Mandy
with a scary expression, "Forgive me child but your kind are of the Dark!"

"What?"

The bull lowered his head, large horns stuck out at either side and were
pointed directly at Mandy. "Stand still child and I shall make this quick
and painless."

Mandy froze in terror as the Bull Man prepared to charge by kicking his
back leg. Mandy turned to run but only hit his invisible barrier, the
sounds of thundering hooves caused her to turn back around and she dived
out of the way in a nick of time. She ran for the other end of the alleyway
but hit another barrier. She bounced off of it and landed on the floor, her
head swimming.

"Enough," the beast stood over her now with a heavy hoof on her chest, "You
will be die child, accept this and pass on." Mandy closed her eyes, waiting
for her life to end.

"Hello Drakk," Mandy heard a voice she hadn't expected, "Hey Bull, don't be
such a bully!" The Demon hovered just out of his reach, laughing at her own
terrible pun as she did a series of aerial somersaults.

"I should have known this human belonged to you," the bull looked up at
her, "I have no time for your games, Jew, fight or begone!"

"Let go of my girl and I'll let you go free," The Demon's eyes glowed a
violent shade of red now, her smooth features turned rough and her toned
figure became muscular. Her voice had also deepened menacingly. Mandy
gawped, awe inspired.

"Come and save her!" The bull raised his gigantic leg but before he could
cave in Mandy's chest the little girl was covered in blood. The bull fell
back, screaming in agony. Mandy looked to her right and found that his leg
had been severed. She looked up, The Demon wasn't in the sky now but
standing by one of the invisible barriers.

"Such a shitty barrier Shedu," she licked her finger and touched the
barrier. Mandy could now see cracks forming in thin air and then it broke,
shattering like glass. The one behind her disappeared as well.

"Curse you, you Jew Witch!" the bull limped on three legs, "If you keep the
Kavorka alive she'll only be eaten-" his last words were cut short as his
throat suddenly split open. Blood gushed from the massive open wound and
the bull fell on his back, dead, with his blood spurting like a
fountain. The Demon was now at his side with blood on her claws. Mandy
hadn't even seen her move.

"Sorry Drakk," The Demon apologized quietly as she licked the blood on her
nails.

Mandy sat up, shivering as she looked at herself. So much blood. Her eyes
went wide in fear and then her emotions boiled over. She cried out, tears
rolling down her cheeks. The Demon watched as the corpse of the bull faded
away, his blood included, and then turned to face Mandy who was still
bawling loudly.

"Oh my what a child," she cooed and crouched down beside the girl, "Don't
worry, the bad Shedu is gone now."

Mandy turned to look at The Demon. The blood was gone but her shirt was
still damp with sweat and tears. She dove into The Demon's chest, face
buried in between her ample breasts as she wrapped her arms around her.
The Demon sighed, "Come now my pet," she stroked the girl's hair gently,
"He wasn't even that scary."

"He said I had to die," Mandy sobbed, "Why do I have to die?"

"Oh dear that old thing," The Demon sighed, "Well you see, we're born of
the Dark and some Demons are born of the Light so naturally we're in an
eternal war." The Demon shrugged as if it meant nothing.

Mandy looked up pleadingly into The Demon's eyes. "Am I evil?"

"No, not inherently," she continued to comfort her girl, "Shedu just have a
very black and white temperament, if it's Dark it's bad and all that, but
don't worry because I'm not leaving you to die so easily."

She helped the girl to her feet. "Now stop pressing your face into my tits,
I'm already horny enough from that fight," she squeezed her legs together
and Mandy couldn't help laughing. "What are you going to do now then?"

"What can I do?" Mandy realized she was still in trouble at school, big
trouble, she had assaulted a teacher and fellow student quite badly.

"Hmm, I think you'll be sent to one of those kiddy prisons I like so much,"
she cackled menacingly, "The idea of kids locked up like animals makes me
wet."

"I don't want to go to Juvie!" Mandy looked ready to cry again.

The Demon stopped to think. "I could, if you like, make the teacher forget
about you hitting her?"

"What good will that do, I still assaulted a student?"

"I've been spying on kids for a long time, especially when they get in
trouble," she waved her hand as if wiping away Mandy's doubt, "I've seen it
before, student fights are nothing compared to elbowing your teacher,
you'll probably just get a slap on the wrist if they think only a student
got hurt."

Mandy took a few seconds to think. "Okay, do it," Mandy agreed but The
Demon raised a finger.

"Oh it won't be free, are you prepared to pay me back?"

"Pay you back how?"

"Doesn't matter right now, it's this or Juvie, so what will it be?"

Mandy glared at The Demon but offered her hand. "Ooooh a handshake, how
formal," The Demon wrapped her fingers around the little girls small hand
and shook it, "Okay, be right back!"

The Demon was gone in the blink of an eye. Mandy didn't know what else to
do other than go back to school but first she decided to put her day
clothes back on. She settled for wearing them over her gym clothes instead
of stripping in an alleyway and went back to the campus building. Sure
enough, during math class, the school intercom called her name. The girls
in her class weren't impressed, apparently she had knocked out one of the
nicest girls in her class.

"Freak," one girl hissed as she got out of her seat, "I'll see you after
school."

Mandy pretended to ignore the girl and found her way to the principals'
office. Mandy was told to enter and stood there with him was her gym
teacher. She gave Mandy an irritated look, not one that suggested she had
just been elbowed in the groin but more of a 'Damn kids' look. It was then
that Mandy noticed The Demon sitting on the principals' desk. She gave a
small wave and winked. Mandy smiled stupidly.

"You haven't got much to smile about young lady," the principal snapped,
making her remember where she actually was, "Sit down." Mandy took a seat
and looked at her knees. "You knocked out a girl in Gym class, am I right?"
Mandy nodded wordlessly, "And why did you do it?"

Mandy took her time answering, "I-" she stammered, "I don't like to be
touched."

"Liar," The Demon made a crude tongue motion then grinned wickedly,
reminding Mandy of how her vagina was healed.

"Well I had a look at your record and," he cleared his throat, "It's indeed
a good indication as to why." He sighed loudly and clasped his hands
together, "I notice that you're also wearing thick layers, is this also
because you don't like being touched?" Mandy just nodded, knowing she
couldn't tell the truth. "Very well then," he stood up, "Young lady I will
let it slide this once but I expect you to go to the nurse's office and
apologies to the girl you hurt."

The Principal spied the thick gloves Mandy was wearing, "These can't be
very good for writing," he suggested and Mandy was afraid he would make her
take them off but instead he opened a drawer labeled 'lost and
found'. "These have been sitting in here for about a year, no one seems to
miss them," he offered her a pair of gloves, still leather, but much
thinner and more flexible. Mandy took them and quickly put them on, she
deposited her grandmothers gloves into her backpack. The new ones were
perfect.

"Now off you go, anymore violent outbursts and I won't be so lenient,
understand?" Mandy nodded and the Principal let her go back to class.

"You're welcome," The Demon said, following her out, "You owe me."

"Thanks," Mandy faced the Demon, "What do you want me to do?"

"All in good time," Mandy didn't like the look she was given.

For the rest of the day Mandy kept her head down, she had been labeled as
violent and unstable by other students but this worked in her favor since
people now gave her a wide birth outside of class. School finally ended but
as Mandy was leaving the building she suddenly she felt a painful blow to
the back of the head...
