Living The Dream, Malissa's Academy, 1 free porn video

Living the Dream, Malissa's Academy, 1 By Malissa Madison Walking around the campus, I spoke to as many students and faculty as possible. Whenever I spotted a good secluded place I would go to it, take out my notebook and jot it down before setting the next location in the time saver setting. I toured the Dorms, making sure that everyone was getting settled in. Then I spotted someone backed into a corner, and hurried to find out what was going on. "Look you shouldn't be here, you're not fit to learn with people of our class," said a ninth grade girl to the Sixth grade Centaur who was backed into the corner. "Lita, what happened to your uniform?" I asked startling the rest. "She tripped over her own clumsy feet," said the girl who was taunting her. Lifting my tablet I tapped the identity key. Then smiling I said, "Ah there you are. Desrita Felloni, this is not your Dorm. I believe you've already had one warning before we got here. You will report to your Dorm mother and wait for me. And your friends will go with you, I'll be there shortly." They didn't move. "I said now!" "Why, why are you letting the likes of them into our school?" she demanded. "First this is My School, not yours. Second any of you not assigned to this dorm, who are still in this dorm in the next five seconds will be expelled." The other girls scampered to abandon Desrita who chose to defy my authority. When the others had gone I said, "Very well have it your way." reaching out I grabbed her by the ear. You will apologize to Lita now." I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm s, s, sorry,"she finally said. "Now you will go to my office and wait for me," I told her as I let her go. "Lita are you hurt?" "No Ma'am," she answered. "They were just mad because I was assigned to her sister's room." "Lita, I'm sorry my sister was mean to you," said a young girl who looked like Desrita. "Minoli, it's not your fault," she said. "Still I'm sorry my sister's such a bitch," the growing crowd gasped at her statement. "Minoli, in light of the circumstances I'll forgive the use of that word. But in the future I will not ignore it," I said. "Sorry Ma'am," she said. "What's going to happen to Desrita?" "That's nothing that you need be concerned about," I assured her. Then I saw the condition of the books Lita was busy picking up off the floor. "Lita, take those to the dining hall and tell Miss Myra that I said she was to replace them," I was really upset now that Desrita had destroyed new text books as well as picked on another student. "Ma'am," Minoli was crying now. "If, if she gets expelled my, my parents won't let me stay here." "Where is your Dorm mother?" I ask curiously. The woman should have been here to stop the pack of older girls. Suddenly the girls remembered. "Des, Desrita told her that you needed to see her," Lita responded. "She went to Admin." I gathered the two girls to me and set my watch for 1:00. There was still a bit of disorientation as I reappeared in the center of my office. In the outer office I heard my personal Assistant Nona saying, "I'm sorry Miss Clair, she didn't say anything to me about expecting you, and she's taking a tour of the grounds." Opening the door I stepped out. "Clair, I'm sorry you were given false information. Please come into my office and let Lita and Minoli fill you in on what has happened." I turned to Nona, "Please have Desrita wait out here until I call for her. In the meantime try to reach her mother. I believe she is still on planet." In dealing with young girls I preferred to deal with their mothers. It was my experience that most young girls knew how to wrap their daddies around their little fingers. Minoli and Lita had just finished recanting the details to Miss Clair when my phone rang. "Ma'am, Miss Felloni's parents are here." "Send them, and Miss Felloni in please." As they entered Desrita was still trying to tell them that Lita was lying about her. "She's a filthy Centaur, you know how they are," she blurted out before seeing who was in the office. "Desrita," I said calmly, "You will stand in the corner, and not open your mouth again until you are asked to speak." "Daddy, please don't listen to her," Desrita began. "Martin, if you truly love me, you will allow me to deal with your eldest daughter," said the woman who looked more like Minoli than Desrita. Then as I watched I noticed something I hadn't seen on the first day. Laurina Felloni stood nervously, her right foot cocked toe down, a classic Centaur trait. I'd dismissed it before because she only had two legs, but I knew she wasn't a shifter. She stepped forward and asked me, "Which bar would you suggest for a foul mouthed spoiled brat?" I felt the corners of my mouth tilt up in a grin. "I'll let you choose," I said as I pulled open the drawer with the soap. She snorted as she reached for an unmarked bar. Her back still to Desrita she said, "Desi, I have loved you as if you were my own. I have held my tongue while you were spoiled by your father. But I will no longer allow you to degrade 'My' kind, as it also degrades your sister." She turned unwrapping the white bar of Ivory soap. "Open wide now." Desrita stood eyes bulging in shock. "Daddy do," she never got to finish as the bar was stuffed into her mouth. "Laurina please is this really necessary?" asked her husband, Desrita's father. Laurina ignored him for the time being. "My mother was a Centaur, my father was half Centaur and your little sister whom you claim to cherish is one quarter Centaur. Let us see if you have even a smidgeon of our strength of character. You will remain silent while we discuss your future here." she turned her to face the corner. "Laurina, Daughter of Dredge and Corrinna?" asked Clair. "I, I was told that you left but not where to. Does Fire know that you are here, that Minoli is your child?" "No she doesn't. I was afraid for Minoli if her sister were to find out about her maternal ancestry." I tapped my spoon on the side of my tea cup to get their attention. "Ladies, may we discuss this after we deal with Desrita?" "Oh, yes," they both blushed remembering why we were all here in my office. "If Desrita is to remain here she will need to learn respect for other races," "What do you suggest?" asked her step mother. "Perhaps rooming with Crista, Leonora and my daughter Denise might help her to learn more quickly." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Desrita stiffen, a moment later she whimpered around the bar of soap. Crista was the Transgendered daughter of the First Dragon, Leonora a Lycan and daughter of one of their Planetary Ambassadors. "I agree, and if she continues to have trouble we'll just have to pull her from school here, and send her to the other one, again." said Laurina. The bar of soap thudded to the floor and Desrita spun around dropping to her knees. Tears streaming from her eyes, "Please, please don't send me there." her face was covered in soapy slobber as it drooled down the front of her blouse, her eyes streaming tears. Her father was fighting his urge to go to her. But Laurina's hand on his arm held him fast. "Desrita," I helped her up. "Go into my bathroom and get cleaned up please." "Y, yes Ma'am," she responded sounding more like a four year old from the soapy slobbery drool. "Nona, please have Miss Trudy come to my office," I asked my secretary. "She's here already," Nona said. "Thank you Nona, are you sure your name isn't really Karen?" She giggled in response. "No Miss Karen is my cousin." "Malissa," Trudy greeted entering the office. "Am I losing a student already? My dorm is buzzing about what happened in Clair's dorm." "Trudy, we are reassigning some rooms." I filled her in the changes to Desrita's dorm assignment. "I'll let you decide on the others involved. But I would like be sure they have at least one roommate that is not of the same race. But I do not want any violence." "There won't be any, my other dorm mothers will be vigilant." Each dorm had five adults assigned as dorm Mothers. Trudy was the senior Dorm mother for her Dorm, and as such had Weekends off. I wasn't sure where the other school was that Laurina had mentioned that had caused such fear in Desrita, but I wanted to know everything about it. I should know where some of my students might have come from or might be going to. After the girls had left with their dorm mothers Laurina told me the name. The Helix Academy of Creameria Two. Desrita had actually had to do a summer school session there after being caught joy riding in a stolen hover car. It was a mixed school run by a group of planetary governments to contain juvenile delinquents. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After the incident with Desrita things began to really settle down. The new students falling into the routine of getting to classes on time. The old students falling back into the old routines. I was walking the grounds chatting with Tessie, my Arachnid teacher about how I'd come to really like Spiders in my early youth, studying them and seeing them for how complex and beautiful they were, when the sky was suddenly lit with an explosion that filled it with flaming debris. We'd been watching the two little ships as they raced for the stars when one had suddenly erupted in a ball of fire. "Miss Malissa, we need to return to your office now," her voice held a note of urgency. "Tessie what is it? What just happened?" I asked knowing that people had just been killed. "We need to gather the Terrellian girls. But especially Shasstine," her words suddenly hit me like a sledge hammer between the eyes. That ship, the one that just exploded was the Tigress, Queen Tarriana's personal ship. "Oh gods." We raced together for the Dormitory as girls poured out of their Dorms to see what was happening. "Myra, Trudy, gather the Terrellian girls in the Gym, now!" I suddenly remembered the time saver and set the hands to 3:15 and pushed in the adjusting knob. I was still running as I appeared in front of the dorm. Rushing past the other little girls I found the room. Pushing open the door I found Shasstine in the floor. Her roommate holding her as she shrieked in grief. 'Oh gods she was watching it, she saw her mother die.' As I pulled her into my arms her older adopted sister, tears streaking her face rushed in. Cressida carried her little sister as we walked toward the Gym, other Terrellian students slowly falling into step beside us or rushing ahead to join the group. All looked devastated. "Who? Who could do something like this?" demanded Tatty Demure. "Someone who is pure evil," said Cressida. I guided them to a waiting bench near the front and watched as all the other Royal students were ushered in along with their bodyguards. "Please everyone, try to remain calm. We do not have any official word on what has happened. Or whose ship it was. I wanted you all here for safety sake. And so that when we get the information we can inform all of you at once," I said. "It was the Mirwiel scum," spat a student near the front. "They've always hated us." "We do not have any confirmation as yet as to whose ship it was," I started. "Nor who committed the act, it might have been a tragic accident for all we know," I tried to calm the situation. "Oh please, everyone knows the only two ships scheduled to leave were Tigress and the Blade," said one of the older girls. "Someone killed our Queen and the only successor is squalling her eyes out right in front of you." "Yeah it was the second ship that blew up. Everyone knows the Blade always precedes the Tigress on takeoff." The words only hit Shasstine harder. "Ladies you will all wait here while I try to get confirmation. But for now I would like for Cressida and Shasstine to join me in my office." I helped them to their feet, Cressida beginning to recover some as she walked on the other side of Shasstine helping to support her. As soon as we were outside I stopped and reset my watch for 1:00, and we were in my office. "Ma'am, the Blade wishes permission to set down in the parking lot," Nona informed me as she poked her head into my office. Shasstine began crying again as I nodded my consent. "Shassti, it is ok to cry here behind closed doors. But when Darius gets here you will need to be strong. I'll help you, our people will need to see how strong you are," Cressida told her. The events that took place once commander Darius arrived seemed unbelievable. I stepped out into the outer office to talk to him in private. They had known of the plot to kill the queen but she wanted to flush out all those who were involved, not just those responsible for the actual act. But I found myself agreeing to go along as we talked quickly in the outer office before going inside. "Cressida," Tarriana held her hands. "I know that this will be difficult for you, but you need to go and take the reins of the government. Remember that you are still grief stricken, and use that as an excuse if there is anything that gives you any difficulties. If you have anything you need help with consult with Darius, or get a message to me here. But for now you need to go and make a speech to the girls gathered in the gym." "But I don't know anything about being a Governess, or ruling our people." She was frightened. "Yes you do, you have been with me, and helped me with my speeches before, seen how I deal with difficult situations and how I deal with my daily routines. But I think the only real decisions you will be pressed to make will concern the Star Drivers Guild. And I already know your feelings mirror my own. I'll be here with Shasstine, maybe teaching a class on Terrellian policy and governmental changes over the last decade." She finally removed her guardian helmet and her fur had been died an Auburn color. No one would recognize her as the Queen. At least not right away. The other girls hadn't been close enough to her to really recognize her facial features or her scent the way Shasstine and Cressida had. "I want to go with you." Shasstine wiped away her tears. The crowd fell silent as Darius and the four Guardians escorted Cressida and Shasstine into the gym. "It's true," were a few of the gasps that followed as the group followed me to the podium. "Ladies, Commander Darius is here to deliver news of the incident. So please listen to what he has to say." I stepped back. "Our Queen, Tarriana, the first of her name, was cruelly assassinated only an hour ago." He paused holding up his hands for silence. Karen was there, her cameras recording the events. "Six days ago, in the great hall she appointed Lady Cressida, whom she has formally adopted, to be Governess, and rule in Shasstine's place until she has completed her schooling here, should anything befall her. At which time Shasstine will be sworn in as Queen." "Ladies," Cressida began. "This is a time of great sorrow to us all. But I swear I will not rest until I know who was involved, and all of them have been brought to justice." She had to pause while the commotion died down. "In my place Guardian Tarria, will be teaching Terrellian Government, and Customs. Guardian Lieutenant Triss and her detail will be here to assist in her protection and to teach the Vershang to any of you who wish to learn it." A murmur went through the auditorium. At first I was shocked that she would do or say such a thing. But then I saw it for what it was, a deflection away from the shock and grief. "Even if our parents don't want us to learn it, and won't pay for us to have our own Vershang to practice with?" I saw a look in both Darius and Tarriana's eyes of surprise. "Yes, as your Royal Governess I am giving permission for the school here to teach you self-defense." There was a roar of gratitude from every Terrellian girl in the gym. I just smiled at her, I'd been hearing from other students, the Chop Sticks in particular that the Terrellian girls all wished they could get permission, but their fathers had forbidden it. "I will establish a fund from my own personal accounts to provide each of you with the needed blades and practice equipment. But I am also going to provide an arms vault for them to be kept in when not being used for training or practice. The only exceptions are for those who are actively on the team here." We dismissed the girls to return to their dorms. A view screen had been set up in the main chow hall at Donnie's Military Academy to inform the young Terrellian boys there at the same time as well as the Kitten Academy. "Cressida, May I ask what that was about?" Tarriana asked. "You and I agree that they should be allowed to learn it. Besides it gives our opposition another thing to focus on besides the fact there are no remains in the wreckage. Something I learned from you, misdirect your opponents to where you want them to focus." She grinned. "And you were afraid you couldn't do it," Tarriana laughed. "If you will excuse us, I should go play my part. Please let it be short, we really need you on the throne Momma." As we walked back toward my office she asked if there was a room in one of the faculty dorms that she could use. "Ma'am wouldn't you be more comfortable in guest housing?" asked Lt Triss, who was going to be the senior guardian. "No, I plan to stay in a dorm room with my three roommates and relive part of my youth. Didn't you ever live in a dorm?" she asked. Then I remembered her high school education had been spent at the Kitten Academy. Tarriana had had three older sisters, and wasn't in line for the throne until her sisters had all abdicated their rights to it upon her mother's death. "No, not until I went through the Academy. Then it was twenty of us in a long barracks room," answered Triss, remembering her own academy experience with a grin. "So tell me what time, and where, we are to meet for the morning Exercises?" "Excuse me," I interrupted. "The Chop Sticks will be meeting on the North Quad at five AM if you would like to practice with them." I was walking them toward the Faculty Housing. But most of the other classes have their own Gym class schedules. Two shadows caught my attention as they sprinted between buildings. And then I realized that Milly and Nilly were no longer with us. that must be them scouting ahead in the shadows. They soon appeared ahead of us walking behind a small group of girls carrying Vershang of their own. I eyed Rachel standing at the forefront. "We wanted to offer our help in protecting her Highness," Rachel said. "We were hoping that you might also join us for practice in the morning." no one wanted to really ask which 'Her Highness' they meant. "You are not battle trained, and I doubt those pretty practice blades would do you much good if you needed them," began Triss. "We are not without skills," stated Linessa as she stepped forward and drew her Vershang. Rachel, Terra, Brandi and Brittany fanning out in a traditional Defensive front. Triss began to speak only to be stopped by the upraised hand of Tarria/Tarriana. "Alright Girls, show me what you've got to offer," she said as she drew her own Vershang one handed, going into a crouch defensive position of her own. Her Vershang sweeping in a backhanded arc before her for space. Linessa assumed her own position, then suddenly lowered her blade in submission. "Forgive me Your Highness, I had no idea." A glimmer of real hope as well as fear in her eyes. "How did you know." Tarria held her position. "Your eyes, and that crouching backhanded sweep. I've seen the recordings of your early matches," she told her Queen. "Then you know that you are committed to this match," she was told. "Ma'am?" Triss stepped forward again. "You three will stay out of this, they're only five young girls. I wish to see how much they've learned since their wonderful performance. To the first point?" she stipulated the rules. "To the first point," they all agreed. I stood there, shocked that a Queen would engage five young girls in a match outside of a practice ring. The fact that only two of them were Terrellian, never crossed my mind. The Lycan twins and my own daughter were in it as well. Something I was sure had Triss and the others a bit nervous. The Vershang rang out as they met, time and again. The first one to be eliminated was Brandi, one of the Lycan's. The next was Rachel, then suddenly both the Terrellian's. It came down to a draw between Tarria and Brittany and then Triss called a halt. They had drawn a crowd of watchers, young, eager girls from every society. Tarria said, "Come, we'll discuss things in private." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Blade set down inside the secure landing field of the royal palace, there were guardians everywhere. The walls which had usually only been manned by two squads now bristled with no less than six full squads. As Cressida stepped off the Ship she saw the waiting Council members. "I will meet with them in the Media Room," she told Darius. "After I freshen up." He grinned, Tarriana had always done the same thing, make them wait, establish who is in charge. The throng of councilors and press were escorted to the Media room of the palace, while Cressida made her way to the royal suite. She looked and saw the grief stricken faces of her Queens four remaining Kittens. She wished that she could tell them the truth but she would not risk giving away the secret. She took her time as she showered and then changed into a long silk dress. The hem sweeping the floor about her feet as she moved. She entered the Media room almost two hours later to see who was left. Her eyes swept over the faces, it was as Tarriana had predicted. Every leading member of the Star Drivers Guild was there, but also a few of the Education board awaited her. The scribes sat ready to record the session. Chaos broke out as she stepped to the podium. "Sit down, and shut up," she growled with anger. And the room fell silent. "Cressida, you must rescind, the last royal decree of Tarriana," demanded Hob of the Guild. The six members of the driver's guild dominated the room, not letting anyone else speak. Cressida lifted her arms above her head, wiggling her fingers as she swept her hands inward, just as she had seen Tarriana do a hundred times in the past. Two full squads of Royal Guards swept into the room, and order was restored. "The next person who decides to tell me what I must do, or not do will be escorted out of this room to await my pleasure in an interrogation room," there were loud gasps. This little upstart of a Royal Governess was going to be difficult to control. "Our Queen, Tarriana gave her blessing on a new method for recovering our trucks stranded along the Intergalactic Freeway. I intend to fully support that decision. Those trucks that she gave her approval to will not be harassed or hindered in their efforts." She swept the entire room with a glare. "Next order of business?" "We have always handled the recovery of our own trucks, that is never going to change," spat the head of the recovery section of the guild moments before two hands lifted him from his spot and removed him from the room. "Lady Cressida?" the Education Council member got her attention. "Yes? You have a question?" she asked. "No Ma'am I just wanted to say thank you for your decree made at Miss Malissa's Academy for Exceptional Young Girls." The male sitting beside her glared at her. "Thank you, I know that you were one of the silenced supporters of our Queen, when this council decreed that our young girls would only be taught the basics, and only then at our own schools. But since this is not being funded by the Terrellian Government the Council of Education has no say in the matter," stated Cressida. The male beside the young woman stood. "You are no longer a member of the education council," he growled her. "You would risk our own Competitors to face some upstart of an Academy in competition. And allow our traditional weapon to be taught to outsiders." Cressida roared, something she had seldom done, but now everyone fell silent looking at her display of anger. "That is why we no longer have a viable female team to compete in the Intergalactic tournaments. Why there are so few Female Guardians." Now everyone was poised to hear her next words. "Either you take the education of our young female population seriously and begin treating them as equals, or you will be replaced. Zassie, join me after this meeting," she directed the young councilor. When no one else raised a question she continued. "I will be contacting Queen Natani of Lyconia to see if she has the same views on education that I have." She stepped back from the podium and the meeting was ended on her terms. "That girls got fangs," someone muttered. "About time we saw some new changes," said another. "But she needs to learn to use her advisors before she pisses off the wrong people," said a member of the Star Drivers Guild. "Just like Tarriana." "Yes, she's pushing forward the two biggest issues that Tarriana was trying to," said Zassie as Cressida was given a royal escort to the private wing of the palace. Four very uncertain young girls cringed in the receiving chamber, Tarriana's current Kittens, her closest friends. Bree the youngest was really taking it hard, a pile of soiled hankies testified to her grief. Lorre, her tears still wetting her face, she was pacing, her Vershang slung across her back. Zinnia sat her Vershang across her knees, the wet stone grating along its length. It had been three days since her return and they only seemed to be growing angrier toward whoever had killed their queen. Deenelle suddenly stood up her view tablet in her hands where she had been researching news footage and photos to put together a Trubute to Tarriana's Memory. "Cressida, oh my gods they, they killed her," she was shaking. "The Drivers Guild murdered her." Lorre grabbed the tablet and began scanning it. "This was when she sanctioned those Tow Trucks." "Where did you get this?" from Bree. "I was hacking into that reporter girls cameras trying to get as many pictures of her as possible," she explained. Deenelle and Zinnia grabbed up their Vershang and headed for the doors. I had to do something quick, they were going to go after the Guild on their own. "Darius," I said near panic. "Cressida, please. We can confront them." Suddenly the fifth squad of Guardians rushed into the room, Darius at head. "Ladies, please follow the guards they'll take you to the Blade," he said. "We'll go along with you." "Yes!" Lorre purred happily. "Lorre, I'm not taking you to the guild," he said. "You bastard," she screamed and launched herself at him. He side stepped her blade grabbing a hand hold, spinning her into a bear hug. "We are taking you to Iridani, to the Academy." "Why? We won't stay there," they all agreed. Young kittens were usually returned to the Academy if they had not been given their freedom upon their cougars death. "I'm taking you to her, she's not dead, but you can't tell anyone." Darius revealed the secret. "She is with Shasstine. But you have to keep the secret until all the traitors have been found. Not just those three who placed the explosives." "I'll stay here," Bree said. "I'm the youngest, it's my duty to please the next Queen." "Bree, honey she's not really dead. All of this is to find out who all of the rebels are," I said. "I know that, but if I leave with the rest, someone will wonder why the youngest Kitten didn't remain as is tradition," she said. "She's right love, she needs to stay. And she needs to be seen with you." Of the four, Bree was always my favorite to play with. I looked deep into her eyes and could see that she had missed it herself. It wouldn't be as if she was being unfaithful to the Queen. She is also the only one besides myself who hadn't snuck off with a guardian. She was pure in her Kittenhood as was I. The planetary news crew was on hand as Darius and I escorted them to the Blade. "Lady Cressida, where are they going?" the reporter Marietta asked me. "The Kittens are being returned to the Academy. They will be given a teaching position as is custom," I said. "Also in keeping with custom, I am keeping the youngest with me." My cell phone began to ring as we stepped aboard the Blade for the private farewell. "Hello?" I answered it. "Cressida Merkuri?" said a strange voice. "Yes, who is this?" "Is the space in front of you open?" "Yes but," I heard three beeps. And then the air shimmered a moment, and five people appeared out of thin air. "My name is-" "Stephanie Wolfe," I finished. "I have someone here who wishes to give you a message." She stepped aside and Tarriana stepped forward. "Cressida, you are doing a wonderful job," she said. "Kittens, I will be waiting for you when you get there." she took Bree's hand, "Bree, you are very brave. And so that you may keep up the ruse and remain guilt free I am giving you to Cressida." "Ma'am I, I-" "I know that you love me, I also know that you have missed Cressida. Your heart hasn't been in everything that you do." "But I do love you," Bree cried. "Yes but you are happier with Cressida. And Darius is a noble provider." She smiled. "Be happy, and don't worry about your future." She turned next to Lorre. "How would you like to practice with the Chop Sticks?" And just like that she had set things right. Before she left she said, "This is a gift from me to you, for the good that you are doing for our people." She handed me a little box. Opening it I found a silver leash, and collar. Tarriana stepped forward and removed her collar from Bree's neck. "Kitten Bree, I set you free to choose a new path to follow." Stepping forward I fastened the collar around her neck. "Kitten Bree, I will cherish you, provide for you, and protect you all the days and nights that you are under my care." "I will follow you, and trust in you, surrender my wellbeing unto your care." Said Bree. As I led her along with us, Darius at my side for my afternoon stroll of the Palace grounds, I noticed how the crowd had increased. I caught a few comments as we passed. ?You would think at her age she?d be happy with her husband.? ?Who does she think she?s fooling carrying a Vershang, like she?d even have a clue which edge to hold onto?? ?She?s right to carry it, no telling how soon it will be before someone ends her little charade.? ?Keep watching, and just shut up,? that one sent shivers up my spine. We were near the public entrance, just ascending the steps when it happened. Darius was quick to react to the sound of a whoosh. As he threw himself across Bree and I, pressing us to the steps I felt the heat as the rocket raced over us to explode against the statue of Queen Tarriana. I hadn?t seen the other two launched from Guild Shuttles landed in the mix of curious onlookers. One rocket sealed off the Guardian doors at the base of the steps. The other collapsed the entrance at the top. As chaos broke out the three shuttles hopped the crowd barrier, Guild Elite guards leaping to the ground around us. The guild was making a bold move, an attempt to over throw the Matriarchal Rule that had started with Tarriana?s Great, Great Grandmother. Nine Guardians survived the blasts, and now ringed myself and Bree. We were outnumbered five to one, and the guardians were shrinking inward as they suffered losses. Bree and I held our Vershang ready to join in, but Darius and the guardians insisted on staying between us and danger. Then as Brynn faltered, Bree took up his Vershang in her other hand. I grabbed up another as we pulled both Guardians to the middle and joined in the fray. We were down to five of us and then the sound of shuttles overhead drew my attention. ?Darius,? I yelled over the din of battle. ?Not ours,? he yelled back. ?I love you, I love you both,? he said as Vershang wielding armed figures began dropping into the fray. Suddenly the tide turned, as the new arrivals began attacking our adversaries from the rear. It gave us a boost of adrenaline as we kicked into overdrive. Then the howling began as the attackers dropped their Vershang in surrender. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We were sitting in the Ninth and Tenth grade Dining Hall when someone yelled excitedly and the wall lit up into the viewing screen, a live broadcast of the Terrellian Royal Palace. A major attack was happening, and it looked like the Royal Guardians were losing badly. I was watching Cressida as she and a kitten joined in the fray. My heart was in my throat beating so hard. Then an unmarked shuttle craft sped in, dozens of Vershang wielding figures leaping into the battle as it skimmed in an arc, behind the attackers. They weren?t Terrellian Guardians. Suddenly Tarriana, Triss, and the other two rushed in. ?What is it? What?s happening?? and then she saw the battle on the wall screen. They?d left only minutes before the news report had begun. The shuttle set down and more armed individuals poured out to surround the palace grounds. Queen Natani of Lyconia stepped off amid her three Kittens, each brandishing a Vershang. ?Secure the Palace, help the Guardians round up the traitors,? she ordered. ?Lady Cressida, are you alright? Is Kitten Bree safe?? ?Yes, yes your highness,? the camera zoomed in on her. She was covered in blood. It ran from small cuts on her forearms as well as splashed from her adversaries onto her. ?I have to get back there,? said Tarriana. Every face in the dining hall turned to look at her when Triss said, ?Your Highness, let them gather the traitors first.? ?I should have been there. I need to be there, those are my people who died defending my throne.? ?Momma, oh god they tried to kill Cressida,? Shasstine was shaking. ?Shhh, I?m right here. Cressida and Bree are safe.? The rest of the afternoon was a loss as far as school went. Everyone was on edge not wanting to miss anything. The news kept replaying the view of Cressida and Bree, shoulder to shoulder with the guardians fighting for their lives. Finally there was an interview with Cressida and Queen Natani. ?I am grateful to Queen Natani for her timely intervention. And I am hoping that they will accept my invitation to stay for a week until we can give an honor banquet to her Honor Guards who helped to turn the tide of the battle,? said Cressida. The camera cut to a shot of the helmeted guardians standing in a single file across from the Terrellian Royal Guardians. Natani made a motion with her hand and one by one they removed their helmets, their long flowing hair falling down about their shoulders. We heard gasps of shock and murmurs of surprise. No one had ever seen the Lycan Honor Guards without their helmets before. Now dozens of girls turned to look at Tarriana. ?Ladies, I do not advocate violence. And if any of you abuse this new privilege that Mistress Malissa is allowing you, I will be greatly disappointed,? she said. Someone raised their hand respectfully. ?Yes?? ?What if, what if we want to get into competitions?? Everyone now looked at me expectantly. ?Team competitions and selections will begin when school resumes at the end of the summer break,? I said. ?But that doesn?t mean that you should put off learning. Or that you should limit yourself to only the Vershang.? ?Miss Malissa,? interrupted Nona. ?There is a priority call for you from Lady Cressida.? I answered it when she transferred it to my table. ?Yes?? ?Ahh, Miss Malissa. A pleasure.? I recognized her voice from the news video. ?Your Highness,? I replied. ?I am told that Tarriana is with you. Might I speak with her?? I handed the phone to the Queen. ?Natani, you got my message.? Tarriana was smiling. ?Yes, thank you for letting me know your plan. Do you think perhaps it would be permitted if I were to come and teach a class as well?? asked Natani. ?And is it really true that young ladies like myself are welcomed there openly?? ?How soon can you come?? ?Just as soon as your survival is announced,? she said. ?Then let me call my favorite journalist and I?ll meet you in the receiving chamber within the hour,? she said. After she hung up she called Karen Lighthorse. ?Karen it?s time to return. Yes the traitors have all been found.? Her cell phone began ringing and when she opened it up Karen Lighthorse stepped out of nowhere. Triss stepped forward to join them and was told to stay where she was. Then she gave a number to Karen who dialed it. A moment later the two were gone. ?Commander, she.? ?Yes sir, we will be here.? If Cressida thought she was free from her duties as Tarriana?s stand in, she soon found out otherwise. When news that the Queen was alive. And it had been a plot to expose the traitors of the Star Drivers Guild was revealed, she and Cressida?s popularity sky rocketed. Tarriana announced that she was taking her first ever vacation, and that Cressida would be standing in in her place. Simultaneously, Natani announced that her eldest daughter would be standing in while she joined Tarriana on her vacation. Her youngest daughter Natira would be joining her.? Now the rest of the known universes knew that one the most formidable guard forces was made up of all Females. One of the first things that Cressida put before the Terrellian Government and got passed was the mandate that over turned the law stating that only Males could own their trucks. The second was the appointment of Female Drivers to the Guild Board of directors replacing those who were involved in the treason. Tarriana and Natani arrived in time to begin the last full week of school. ?Natira, do you wish to ask Miss Malissa a question?? Natani asked. ?Ma?am may I please attend your school this next year?? ?Yes you may, I would be delighted for you to come here.? There was a Lycan woman, obviously Kitten trained, but much too old to still be a Kitten with them. ?Dorri, she will be fine here, but if you are worried I?m sure we can find you a place nearby. Your youngest will not be in danger,? said the Lycan Queen. Now I was confused. A grin on her face Tarriana leaned forward. ?Natani is the only Transgendered Queen in history. She is Natira?s Paternal Mother, Dorri is her birth mother. No one has ever seen Natani or Dorri when she was supposed to be pregnant.? ?Don?t worry, it will not be entered into any Documents.? I took hold of Natira?s hands in my own. ?So you have two Mothers who love you, you are truly special.? ?Can, can I room with Shasstine?? she asked. ?I think that can be arranged,? I told her. We sat and made plans for not just those two, but other planetary System leaders to come to teach a brief history class as well during the next school term. As they went back to their room together, I stood and went to the closet in my office. Reaching out I turned the door knob at the back saying ?Home?, then stepped through into our bedroom where Donnie and Sophie lay waiting on the bed. ?I?ll be with you two in a minute,? I said. ?I want to tuck the little ones in.? I leaned over Cora?s crib and kissed her forehead as I tucked the blankets around her. Then moved on to Dotty and David, and finally to Becca. Of course Corra had a crib in my office, and one in Donnie?s as well for the times she wanted to be there. As I crawled into bed between Donnie and Sophie I asked, ?How?s Tiffany getting along?? ?You mean Jr Corporal Pierce?? asked Sophie. ?She?s doing fine Lovey, now let us relieve all the stress from this last week,? Donnie said as they began peeling me out of my clothes.
