"So it was stupid when you did it to that Sticks kid?"

Okay, where'd she hear about that?

She composes herself. "I hereby accept your challenge."

It's a punker tradition! Even the more housebroken punkers don't really object to the trial by combat. They're just not calling for it as loudly.

The whole crowd seems to have decided this is a good idea by now, and will be an excellent show. An empty space, a big one, quickly starts clearing for them.

There are jeers and cheers for both candidates. They mostly don't seem to care that Angie's still naked.

Tabby steps forward and bows. 

To which Angie responds by pulling her opponent to the ground by her hair, before pinning her down by the knees and wailing on her.

Which actually hurts. She's not used to that. She manages to push the cub off her. 

The crowd hushes.

Sneak-attacking as an opening blow doesn't sit well with some of them.

Well, luckily for Angie, she's not going to get an opportunity for that again.

The cub is clearly more powerful physically than Tabitha, but she's nimbler, and faster in any direction other than a straight line.

Angie, on the other hand, has had a lot of experience fighting similarly superhuman children. 

(Bets are being taken furtively. It seems Tabby is getting slightly better than even odds against the interloper.)

Angie proceeds to even the odds by assuming her wolf form.

Tabby's critter shape is a kitten. She will not be doing this. 

The wolf manages to sink her teeth into Tabby's hand, drawing blood.

She then takes advantage of her opponent's screaming to resume human form and headbutt her.

Tabby throws her hands up to cover her broken nose.

"Okay, okay, I concede."

Wow. The punkers are really quite divided on how to react to this.

Angie won the fight! ...But she cheated on the first blow. But cheating is a punker tradition too! No it's not you idiot!

The end result is a lot of muttering and glancing at each other.

"If you follow me, you shall be allowed to be as wild and free as you please! And I can't make you werewolves, but I will get you what your so called queen denied you for so long! A set of fangs for every punker!"

The more violent and outspoken punkers rally to her cause! They cheer and push through the crowd toward her.

Some of the rest look like they want to join them, but feel a strange sense of loyalty to the defeated queen... Or simply think that vampirism needs to be earned.

"Traitors!"

Tabby glances appreciatively around at the loyalists, before turning back to Angie and her....double punkers? 

"Guys, this is getting really dumb. Even if you do get to be vampires, my mum will drown you all like kittens. Wait, literally drown you as kittens!"

"Please, my dad could so beat up your mom."

"You keep promising us things'll get better! Well, they haven't yet. Maybe Queen Angie keeps promises!"

"I promise fun! I promise adventure! I promise superpowers! And all you have to do is follow me back to my den."

She starts to walk off.

The punker-traitors follow, every one.

Tabitha looks around her remaining followers, which to be fair is most of them.

"And to you all I promise my mum won't rip your heads off for pest control....thanks for being good friends."
