A/N: It's Draculaura's junior year at Monster High, and with the new senior girl on the Fear squad dating her brother(Both of which are my OCs), how will she keep her relationship with Clawd a secret from Dragomir? She knows she better, because she'd much rather her brother didn't kill her boyfriend. Please keep in mind that this is my first time writing anything for Monster High, which my sister has gotten me absolutely addicted to.
"Ready for halftime, ghouls?", Cleo de Nile asked her fearleading squad.
"I wonder what the other school will think when they see the casketball team fearleading with us?", Draculaura remarked, dissolving into giggles.
"Who knows, but what will our school do? I mean, they've never seen this routine before. We've kept all of our practices one was allowed to know when our practice times were. Not even our parents were allowed inside the gym!", Frankie Stine replied excitedly.
"Let's just remember to thank Jackson later. He did get us the music. At least he's a normie on the outside. Well, on most days.", Clawdeen Wolf said with a laugh.
"Yeah, and Headmistress Bloodgood for approving of all of it. She's nowhere near stupid, and she'd definitely smart enough to know what that normie song talks about.", Toralei Stripe said seriously, but still filing her claws to a point.
"Remind me why I let you back on the squad?", Cleo asked jokingly, her attempts at not laughing failing miserably.
"Aw, Cleo, you know you love me.", Toralei joked back, just proving how much their relationship improved since freshman year.
The fearleaders, aside from Jade, laughed as the buzzer sounded for half time.
"Let's just get this over with. I hate this routine anyway.", Jade said in her low, bored voice.
"And now, for the half time show, we present the Monster High Fearleading squad with the casketball team.", C.A. Cupid told the crowd.
The music started, only making Draculaura and Cleo more nervous than they were. Both felt as if they had butterflies in their stomachs, one of their reasons far different from the other by more than just pure nervousness.
(A/N: The routine is the Shets' final routine from Bring It On: In It to Win It, and the song is "Domino" by Jessie J. I was shocked to find how well they worked together. In fact, I was so shocked, I honestly scared myself at how perfect it was. If you don't believe me, go to YouTube and look into it yourself. Draculaura is Carson, Cleo is Brooke, and ect.)To say the other school was shocked would be an understatement
The same could be said about the Monster High student body. They had never seen anything so risque in the Fearleaders routines, nor had they expected the casketball team to join in. The only ones who looked uncomfortable were the new girl, Jade Nocturnal, and Heath Burns. The blue-black haired vampire seemed to detest the fire-elemental, who kept looking at a certain Yeti's Daughter.
The part of the routine that confused the all vampire school they were playing, one of the few all anything schools left, was the part the Monster High students understood best. Whenever Draculaura was being lifted into the air, it was Clawd who made sure she didn't fall. All of the Monster High students were smart enough to know you don't mess with Clawd Wolf's "Little Lala",especially when he was actually there.
When the time came for the final flip, one look between Duce and Clawd showed their mutual agreement to be careful with each other's girlfriends. The swing was flawless, as was the twist the two fearleaders did in mid-air. Clawd and Duce caught their girlfriends and they, along with Frankie and Jackson, finished the routine.
The music stopped and each of the three fearleaders dropped into the arms of the boy holding her up.
"Whose idea was that routine again?", Clawd asked in a slight whisper, still holding Draculaura in his arms.
"Mine!", Draculaura cheered, giggling as she spoke.
Clawd just laughed at his giggling, smiling girlfriend.
"Who's job is it to win for me?", she asked him.
"Last time I checked, it's my job.", he told her, smiling even wider, if at all possible.
"As long as you remember.", she said flirtatiously as Clawd set her down.
As Draculaura began to walk away, Clawd called out to her.
"Lala!"
She turned back, smiling as she saw the smile in his face face.
"I forgot to tell you something. I love you.", he told her.
"I love you too, you silly puppy.", she replied, jumping back into his arms and giving him a quick kiss.
Once she was sitting back on the bleachers, Draculaura found something in her fearleading bag that wasn't hers. It was Clawd's turquoise hat that he always wore. Smiling to herself, the young vampire put the hat on her head and turned back to the court where Clawd was looking her way.
He winked and smiled, his attention going back to the game when the ball was tossed in the air.
Giggling to herself, Draculaura saw one of the vampires on the other team smile and wave at her. She rolled her eyes and went back to watching Clawd. The boy seemed shocked when Clawd let out a low growl.
"I think the wolf saw that Sanguine Academy boy looking at you.", Jade whispered to Draculaura.
The Count's daughter held her tongue and tried to tune the other vampire out. One wrong move and Jade would tell Draculaura's brother, Dragomir, all about Clawd. Jade had the ability to, as there was an arranged marriage between the blue-black haired vampire and the son of the Count. It had taken nearly two years for Dracula himself to approve of Clawd, and her brother was, if anything, worse than her father.
After the game, which Monster High won, Draculaura went home with Clawdeen and Clawd, whom she was spending the night with.
"Lala, are you okay?", Clawd asked, seeing the look on his girlfriend's face.
"It's just Jade. She was trying to make me get angry today. She wants an excuse to tell my brother about us. If he finds out, Dragomir will kill you, no joke!", Draculaura replied as they walked through the parking lot, or rather, Clawd and Clawdeen walked, while Clawd carried Draculaura on his back.
"Um, Ula D, who's that with Jade?", Clawdeen asked, sounding a bit paranoid.
"Oh no! No, it can't be! It's him. He wasn't supposed to be back yet. Dragomir told me he'd be home next week, and I asked him two days ago!", Draculaura said in a panicky voice.
"It's dark, so maybe he won't see us.", Clawdeen reasoned, but her suggestion was put down a moment later.
"Laura?", he called.
"Or maybe he will.", Clawdeen winced, not wanting to see the angry and sad look on her best friend's face.
"Should Claws and I go?", Clawd asked.
"No, you shouldn't. If I have to put up with that bit-, I mean, Jade, then he can put up with you. I love you, and there is no changing that.", Draculaura replied, kissing Clawd on the lips, not caring that her overprotective brother was coming closer.
When they broke apart, Clawd set Draculaura down, but held onto her hand.
"I thought you weren't getting home until next week!", she said in a fake cheeriness.
"I heard you had a brand new, never before seen, fearleading routine. I had to see it. You were amazing out there, but why did that wolf always have a hold of you?", the newcomer replied, his Romanian accent thick.
"That 'wolf' is my boyfriend, Clawd Wolf, my best friend's older brother. You remember Clawdeen, right?", Draculaura answered, her grip on Clawd's hand getting tighter.
"Does Dad know about this?", Dragomir asked.
"Yes, and he approves. It took two years, but he could see I truly am happy. He left well enough alone and he has grown to accept the fact that I love Clawd and that Clawd loves me.", Draculaura snapped, causing Clawd to pick her up and hold her close.
"Lala, calm down. If not for your own health, than for me. I can tell you're already sad. I don't like seeing my little Lala sad.", he whispered to her soothingly.
"Let go of my sister.", Dragomir growled.
"Don't listen to him. Don't let go.", Draculaura said, surprising her brother yet again.
Clawd listened to Draculaura, and he began to walk towards his car, Clawdeen on his heels. Dragomir was fast though, and ran in front of Clawd.
"Get out of my way.", the werewolf growled.
"I will, but not until you release my sis-", but Dragomir was cut off by a shout from behind him.
"Hey, Dragomir! Guys, don't look."
It was Duce, and he had his glasses off. Dragomir turned to stone, along with Jade.
"Thanks, Duce.", the three chorused as the son of Medusa put his sunglasses back in place.
"It's only temporary, so you better get going.", Duce said in reply, running off.
The ride back to the Wolf home was silent and panicky. Duce never really said how long "temporary" was when he turned someone to stone. Dragomir could be chasing them that very moment.
"I'm sorry about him. Dragomir is stuck on following and honoring tradition. Where as I-", Draculaura began.
"Said 'To hell with tradition' and started dating my brother behind all of our backs?", Clawdeen offered.
"Yeah, I guess I did.", Draculaura said laughing.
"As did I, Claws.", Clawd added.
"Yeah, and you saw how no one in our house had a mental breakdown like Dragomir did.", Clawdeen threw back.
"It just shows that as far as siblings go, you and Howleen are better than Dragomir. And by the way, you did freak out and try to break us up.", Draculaura replied, smirking at her best friends.
"That was mostly Toralei's fault. She and the twins started psyching me out.", Clawdeen stated firmly.
"We know, but we also like psyching you out.", Clawd said with a laugh.
"Jeeze, I love you too, big brother.", Clawdeen said sarcastically.
"I know.", was all Clawd had left to say.
Back in the Monster High student parking lot, two stone figures began to return to normal. The vampires broke free of their stone casings, looking around for some sign of the four teens they had been fighting.
"Who was the kid that turned us to stone?", Dragomir asked.
"Duce Gorgon, son of Medusa. Unlike his mother, he can only turn people to stone temporarily. He's in your sister's grade, and he's one of Clawd Wolf's best friends, whether or not either will admit it. Duce is his co-captain on the casketball team, so they trust each other more than any other guy on the team.", Jade answered.
"Darling, I did not need the entire back-story behind him.
"You asked, and I answered.", Jade said bluntly.
"Do you have any idea where the Wolf family lives?", Dragomir asked.
"No, not exactly, but your sister has it written down on an envelope in her room. It was from a letter Clawd sent her when she went to Gloom Beach. I saw it in her room once and asked.", Jade responded.
Dragomir did not ask any other questions. The two got into his car and drove to the Dracula Mansion. Inside, he went through his sister's room until he found said envelope.
For most of the night, Draculaura could not sleep. She found herself sitting in a darkened living room at three o' clock in the morning. At about that time, she heard footsteps. Clawd was in the doorway, looking like he'd had about as much sleep as she's had.
"This won't work. We need to get to sleep.", he told her, sitting down beside her.
"I just keep thinking he's going to show up any minute now.", Draculaura replied.
"You want to stay in my room tonight?", he asked, worried about her.
Draculaura just nodded, allowing him to pick her up and carry her upstairs.
It wasn't the first time she'd spent the night in Clawd's room. The first time had been after the Monster High homecoming football game a few months prior, which Monster High won. That night was special for the two of them. The house was empty, Clawdeen, Howleen, and their parents had been at Clawd, Clawdeen, and Howleen's grumpparents house for the weekend.
"Goodnight, my little Lala.", Clawd whispered to her as she drifted off to sleep.
"Goodnight, my silly puppy.", she mumbled, falling asleep with her head on his chest.
"This is it, 99 Hunter Lane, Howlywood.", Dragomir said quietly.
"We had a fearleading meeting here once, but your sister drives like a bat out of hell, no pun intended. I never saw exactly how we got here.", Jade whispered back.
"Which one is the girl's room?", he asked.
"It's girls'. She shares it with her little sister. It's that one right over there.", she replied, pointing to the left side of the house.
"Let's go.", Dragomir whispered, hurrying across the lawn.
Jade followed, hoping the werewolf siblings would stay asleep, or else the plan would be ruined. They were supposed to get in, get Draculaura, and get out.
"She's not in here!", Dragomir hissed once they entered Clawdeen and Howleen's room.
Meanwhile, down the hall...
The small vampire sat straight up. She knew the sound of a window opening when she heard it.
"Clawd, I heard something.", Draculaura said, her panicky tone waking the male werewolf at once.
"It was probably just Howleen. You know as well as I that there is never a moment of peace in this house. At least tomorrow we'll have some alone time.", Clawd replied, smiling at his girlfriend.
"We will?", she asked.
"My parents are going to see my dad's cousin, and Clawdeen and Howleen are going to Toralei's for a meeting Cleo called. That's what the call Claws got earlier was about.", Clawd replied.
"Why is Howleen going?", Draculaura asked, smirking.
"Cleo asked for her to be there. Was there something else on your mind?", he replied with a wolfish grin. (A/A hint as to why Cleo asked Howleen to go to the meeting was mentioned earlier!)
"Maybe, but you know, anyone who heard that would think that is the only reason I keep you around.", Draculaura joked as Clawd .
"It isn't?", Clawd joked back.
"It's one reason.", Draculaura said, gently pressing her lips to Clawd's.
Dragomir stood in the hall, rooted to the spot. He heard his sister, and she was in the wolf's room. At first, he just heard them talking quietly, but then, the room fell silent. The door was slightly ajar, allowing Dragomir a slight view into the room. What he saw made his blood boil.
Draculaura was leaning over Clawd, her hair down, they were kissing, and the straps of her pajama top had fallen off of her shoulders. Dragomir narrowed his eyes and left so swiftly, he missed what Draculaura said next.
"No, Clawd, not tonight.", she whispered, pulling the straps on her top back up.
"Okay, we need to get to sleep anyway.", he replied, helping her pull her hair back up.
"Good night, Clawd.", she whispered, snuggling closer to him.
"Good night, Lala.", Clawd whispered, falling asleep easily with Draculaura in his arms.
"Are you sure that they...", Jade trailed off, not believing that smiling, laughing, innocent Draculaura would do such a thing.
"Her hair was down, as were the straps on her shirt. I know my sister, so he must be forcing her to-", but Jade cut him off.
"To do what? I've seen the way she looks at him. She really does love him, and even your dad figured that much out. I think you're just paranoid, dear.", she told him, her eyes soft.
"But it is against our ways for them to be together. You know that as well as I.", Dragomir snapped.
"Yes, but you father has allowed this. You have no grounds to do anything, well, legal.", Jade threw back, her yells almost as loud as his.
"Then I guess we'll have to get a little illegal.", he cackled evilly.
A/N: How was it? Like I said, this was my first shot at a MH story, so keep that in mind. I own nothing except for Dragomir and Jade. R&R, please!
