fandomhigh | The Occult | Period 1

It was the final class of the semester and while Paige could admit it had been fun, she was eager to move on and continue recovering from her ordeal at Sheol I. She'd be going back to SciLo soon after the class ended to rejoin Jax and the rest of the group. The respite had been nice but it was time to go.

"You've all been an excellent class and I hope you've learned something, whether it be large or small," she said, smiling at the class. "You've made my lack of teaching experience a little less noticeable then it would be in other places. Thank you. For your final class, we're just going to talk a bit. Nothing huge, nothing that I'm going to grade or anything like that."

She leaned against the desk. "We've talked about a variety of different things in this class. Frightening things, things that are oftentimes misjudged, and things that the average individual either doesn't believe in or has been influenced to hate. So, my question for you is this: do people have a right to fear the supernatural? Should they be educated or allowed to live with their knowledge? Do you fear things that you don't know? Feel free to answer, the floor is open."

With that, Paige stepped aside and let the students talk, if they so wished.

One last time!

Do people have a right to fear the supernatural? Should they be educated or allowed to live with their knowledge? Do you fear things that you don't know?

The floor is open so feel free to chat!

"Regardless of whether people have a 'right' to fear the supernatural or not, the mass panic that making all of this public knowledge would generate isn't worth the convenience," Alec said with certainty. "The average person would just get himself killed trying to search for a demon, and that's if he wasn't one of the millions of people huddled in their houses too scared to go outside."

"But people deserve to know what's out there," Sholeh said, biting her lip and looking down at her desk. "They deserve to know that there are things to be afraid of...or not! I mean, not all supernatural creatures are bad. Some of them just want to learn, too."

You know. Hypothetically. If there were any, oh, in the class or something.

"Otherwise, they're just sitting ducks, waiting for a hungry wolf to come by and gobble them up."

"That's a little alarmist, don't you think?" Alec countered. "The average mundane just doesn't have the skills to defend him or herself. And based on the fact that people aren't dying right and left, the threat is obviously being managed sufficiently. Very well-protected 'sitting ducks' aren't ducks at all."

"So, you're saying that not enough people die or are injured to make it worth the bother?" Sholeh asked.

She's around!

Thank you for being a great class!
