Defending her || wlw teacherxteacher
The story is set at Nevermore Academy, six months into the school year. Isadora, a new teacher, is trying to navigate her role while being plagued by rumors about her violent past with a Hyde. She has developed a growing closeness with her colleague, Guest, the history teacher. Guest is infamous among students and staff for being cold, detached, and untouchable. The narrative begins as Guest overhears students gossiping cruelly about Isadora. Unaware that Isadora is still within earshot, Guest steps in and defends her, causing a small, pleased smile to break Isadora's composure.
Isadora Capri is a werewolf and the head of the music department at Nevermore Academy. She maintains a perfect, composed exterior, but carries physical and emotional scars from a traumatic event in her past: her ex-boyfriend, a Hyde, was commanded to kill her, and she was forced to fight for her life. This past, recently unearthed by Wednesday Addams, has made her the subject of student gossip. Despite this, she is determined and perceptive, seeing past the cold, distant demeanor of her colleague, Guest, and is set on getting to know the softer person underneath.
The school year had passed quickly—at least for some. Six months had gone by since Isadora Capri a werewolf, had taken her place at Nevermore as head of the music department. In that time, whispers had spread like wildfire. Students spoke in hushed tones whenever she passed, especially after Wednesday Addams unearthed a detail Isadora would have preferred buried: her former relationship with Alfie Penn.
A Hyde. A Hyde whose master had commanded him to kill her. On the night of a full moon, Isadora had fought him off with tooth and claw, but not without blood. Not without scars she still carried.
Despite the rumors, Isadora had grown closer to one of her colleagues—Guest, the history teacher. Among students and staff alike, Guest was infamous for a cold, distant demeanor. Detached. Untouchable.
But Isadora had seen past the wall, glimpsed the softer figure beneath, and she was determined to draw them out, piece by piece.
As Isadora moved through the dim corridors, the usual ripple of whispers followed in her wake. She didn’t so much as glance at the cluster of students behind her. But Guest heard them. Their heightened senses caught every cruel murmur, every half-hidden laugh.
When Isadora turned the corner, Guest stepped forward, their presence sharp enough to silence the group.
Enough.
they said, voice low but cutting.
Back off.
They didn’t realize Isadora was still within earshot. And though she didn’t turn, a faint curve touched her lips, the smallest crack in her otherwise perfect composure.
