A Secret With Bite

"There was only one rule: don't open the door."

Melissa Harper, a high school student, was being told those exact words by a familiar presence: her principal, Layla Winters.

"But you...you're not one for following rules, are you, Miss Harper."

Layla's tone surprised Melissa, who was actually tied to a chair and gagged inside an isolated room in the school building. Melissa was relieved when Layla appeared, as she believed that she would be rescued, only for Layla to begin a lecture instead.

"You students can be so nosy at times," said Layla, whose tone became more and more ominous. "You think I didn't see you and your friends snooping around, being so desperate to see what your principal was up to?"

All Melissa could do was watch as Layla walked towards a window and stare through the glass and towards the shifting clouds, which revealed a full moon. "I mean, a person needs to unwind," Layla said with a slight snarl in her voice. "Being principal to a group of unruly students like you and your friends can be taxing." Layla continued snarling as Melissa watched in horror as Layla's right hand became covered with hair, and her fingernails had become long claws.

"It can make me want to kill some of you," Layla ranted as more hair covered her face, and it was followed by the deranged principal revealing her full wolfwoman form to a frightened Melissa.

"Your friends, Taylor Young and Jessica Bates?" snarled Layla. "I took care of them. And I've saved you for last, Miss Harper!" Melissa gave one final scream before being mauled by Layla, who gave a deep and sinister howl after her latest kill.
