Bye Bye Barney

"You kids are in so much Got-damn trouble. Heh, we'll show ya what happens when ya go think'n you can ust cut class..." The guard sneered at the two teens as he neared, doing his best to look imposing. The guard, Barney, always had been a jackass from day one. He seemed to love getting kids in trouble for even the most trivial of things, and few wanted to mess with him, as though he was old, he had also been a former U.S. Navy Seal. Derek, fortunately, did not hold that same fear.

A simple thought, and there Barney was without pants, hand stuffed into his underwear, drooling and snarling at the pair. Emily, already clutched onto Derek's arm, squealed and hid behind him, terrified by the sudden turn the situation had taken. Derek kept calm and didn't even chuckle, just glaring back at the man as his peers arrived. THe other guards were horrified, and quickly dragged the man off to the office to await the police- Barney was finished working here. Barney regained his thoughts though just as he was being pulled out of sight, and started screaming at the top of his lungs that the kids had done somethin to him, to let him go, and all the fun little shouts like that. No one would believe him, of course.

"Um, Derek?" Emily asked, snapping the cruelly smirking boy back into reality.

"Yeah Em?"

"What happened there? One minute he was...and then the next he...I-I don't know what happened." She looked startled and confused- to be expected considering what she'd just witnessed. Hugging her weakly and offering her a candy bar, Derek did his best to assure her it was all ok and that she wasn't insane. He could've just made her forget but...he didn't like to toy with the minds of those so close to him too often, or to any great degree. Well, except to get out of doing some things!
