The Canadian at Monster High

Chapter 21: Toralei vs. Howleen

The next morning Cody was rummaging through his locker before first period. After shoving his books into his backpack he swung it around toward his shoulders. Unfortunately he hadn't been paying enough attention and the backpack hit Ghoulia who was walking past. It didn't hurt her or knock her down, but it did push all the stuff she was carrying out of her hands.

"I'm sorry Ghoulia!" Cody put away his backpack and dropped to his knees. He began to pick up the zombie girl's books and things. She bent down next to him to do the same, but being a zombie she was much slower. "I should've been paying more attention. Here you go," having picked it all up he got to his feet. It was then that he noticed the book on the top was not a textbook.

It was a comic book about a superhero named "Dead Fast". He appeared to be some sort of zombie in a black cape-less costume. "Dead fast?" Cody read. "Hey is this a comic book?" He held the graphic novel up toward Ghoulia. The zombie-girl quickly (for a zombie) snatched it out of his hands.

"Gaaaa!" she moaned angrily at the human.

"Huh? Oh, no." Cody shook his head. "I meant no offense, really!" Ghoulia glared at him suspiciously. "It's true, I just had no idea that anyone at this school liked that kind of thing. I like the same kind of stuff…hold on a second." He turned back to his locker and quickly looked through it before pulling something out. "Here we go. See?" he held out an old Batman graphic novel.

Ghoulia's eyes widened. She slowly grabbed it from him and flipped through the pages. "Yeah that's one of my favorite superheroes. He's pretty cool," he said seeing the reaction on her face. "You can borrow that if you want." Cody then pulled out another, smaller book from his locker. "Here's the first volume of a manga I like to read; you can borrow this too."

"Raaa…" Ghoulia took it and then looked from the manga to Cody. She smiled at him which looked strange for a zombie, but not bad. Ghoulia moaned something Cody didn't understand, but it sounded like thank you to him. Then she took the two books and walked off to class.

Cody closed his locker and was about to walk off when his ghoulfriends Clawdeen, Frankie and Lagoona showed up. "Hey Cody…" they all looked surprisingly somber.

"Hi girls," he frowned when he saw how downcast and uncomfortable they appeared. "Is something wrong?"

"You don't have to put on a strong face for us mate," Lagoona said. "We know."

"We all know," Frankie nodded. She gave him a tight hug. "Just cry it out big guy."

"What?" Cody pulled away. "You all know what?"

"About Spectra," Clawdeen explained. "How it didn't work out. But don't worry, there's always the next ghoul…"

Now Cody was really confused. Why would they think that? "Spectra? But no she-didn't you know I…"

"Psych!" Spectra appeared right in front of Cody's face. The human jumped back a few feet and all four ghouls started laughing.

"Aha haha! We got you good Cody!" Clawdeen laughed.

"What the-was that some kind of joke?"

"We're sorry Cody, but we couldn't help it." Frankie put a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Yeah, we know Spectra joined the harem," Lagoona smiled. "We can sense it remember?"

The human frowned. "Sorry Cody, they made me," Spectra apologized. "I just wanted to be part of the group!"

"It's fine," he shrugged. "So I'm guessing you three are happy about Spectra joining?"

"I'm fine with it," Clawdeen answered.

"Definitely," Lagoona nodded.

"Of course!" Frankie raised her hands up in an exaggerated fashion.

"Hey did she tell you about the cool ghost powers I absorbed off her last night?" Cody asked excitedly. "I got to fly!"

"Really? That's voltageous!" Frankie smiled.

"I wish I could fly," Clawdeen mentioned wistfully. "Maybe sometime you can fly me up somewhere romantic Cody, and we could have a date."

"Sure, but is Spectra coming on this date too?" he asked. "Because you know I have to fuck her first to get the power right?"

"Oh I don't mind," Spectra blushed. "Whenever you need to fly just let me know. We can find an empty room…" The thought reminded her of something. "Oh I almost forgot, I never told you ghouls the best part of last night!"

"Well what is it?" Lagoona asked. "Come on love, don't keep us in suspense!"

The ghost-girl pulled out her icoffin. "I got the whole thing recorded on my phone!" The three ghouls awwed in surprise. "You want to watch?"

"Spectra!" Cody blushed. "Don't show them that now! We're in school!" he tried to grab the phone out of her hand but missed. Every time he jumped for it Spectra pulled the phone further back.

"Aww come on Cody! Just real quick," she begged. But he just reached for it again. Spectra was about to give up and agree not to show it in school when all of a sudden the icoffin was snatched out of her hand.

The ghost-ghoul turned around to see Clawd Wolf standing above her holding her phone between two hairy fingers. The werewolf then turned to Cody and held it out for him to take. "You wanted this Cody?"

"Umm…yeah," Cody quickly took the phone from Clawd. "Thanks Clawd, but we were just having fun. Spectra didn't mean anything by it."

"Yeah," the ghoul nodded nervously.

"No problem," Clawd shrugged. "Just trying to help out."

"Uhh, my brother…" Clawdeen looked ready to slap herself. "Always acting without consulting his brain first."

"Hey don't be like that sis," Clawd scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "You know I'm not good at this kind of thing. Sorry Cody, I know I owe you from saving me. I'm just no good at talking about that kind of thing…"

"Oh…" Cody got the picture. "Hey don't worry about it Clawd. It's water under the bridge. I'm sure you'd have done the same for me."

A strange look appeared on the werewolf's face for the briefest of moments, but it quickly disappeared. "Of course!" he laughed awkwardly. "And hey if you ever need some muscle, let me know. I'll help you out!"

"Well thanks," Cody nodded. "I'll remember that."

"Well I gotta get to class. Bye!" Clawd gave a brief wave before walking off. Cody and the ghouls waved back before turning back. Once he was far enough away Clawd's face took on an entirely different look. His eyebrows pushed together and his teeth clenched together in an angry smile.

He held up his hand and unclenched it to show Cody's wallet lying squashed in his paw. "Come to your aid huh?" he muttered to himself. "Fat chance of that, fucker." After pulling out the cash he walked outside and flung the wallet as far as he could into the street. "This is only the start…"

Meanwhile when Clawd walked away Cody and the girls were still talking. "See?" Clawdeen poked her boyfriend in a self-satisfied sort of way. "What'd I tell you? Do I know my brick-for-brains brother or what?"

"Well it wasn't exactly like you said," Cody pointed out.

The werewolf-girl scoffed. "Whatever! Close enough."

Lagoona chuckled, "now don't fight you two." Just then the bell rang signaling class was going to start.

"Oh shit, we're gonna be late!" Clawdeen broke into a run down the hallway with the others coming up behind. "Hurry!"

The five teens raced for class along with other students who had spent too long out in the hall. What none of them realized however was that their conversation hadn't been private. Two werecats, both with grey skin, one with black hair and the other white, had been privy to every word. Neither needed to speak, merely a look and a nod was enough to convey to their twin what they should do. One quick meow later and they both scampered off to find their boss.

Toralei was drinking a cup of hot coffee on the school roof-one of her favorite places to skip class. No one was technically allowed on the school roof, but a locked door meant nothing to her when she could pick the lock with her claw. Seeing her friends-slash-henchmen approaching she could tell they had news for her.

Unfortunately it wasn't what she'd call good news. She'd nearly choked on her hot drink when they told her and then angrily dumped the rest of it on the roof pavement. "What the fuck? Is this true?" The twins nodded. "Shit!" she kicked a pipe sticking out of the roof ceiling. "I leave that nerd alone for a month to deal with business and he finds other ghouls to fuck?"

Toralei started kicking more things. The twins looked at each other worried. They had seen their boss like this before and it was never good. Best to stay out of her way lest they become a target. "Well FUCK THAT!" she screamed loudly. "I don't know why it matters to me, it shouldn't matter one little bit. But dammit it does! I'm taking him back and those bitches can get bent for all I care. I'll show them who's top kitty at this school!" she glanced down at her paw and unsheathed her sharp claws. "Let's do this."

A week later Cody and the ghouls were eating lunch in the creepateria the same as any other day. Lagoona, Frankie, Spectra and even Cleo and Draculaura were listening to Clawdeen tell a story. Further down the table Howleen and Twyla were also listening in.

"…and then Cody just falls through the bed!" Clawdeen hit the punch line of her story. All five ghouls started laughing at once; some shaking their heads while others hitting the table with their fists.

Cody looked embarrassed. "Come on, it wasn't that funny. I didn't realize Spectra's powers were going to do that…"

"Come Cody," Cleo smiled. "You must see the humor in it. You and your weird powers-it's just amusing for them to backfire."

"Hey my powers are cool," he told her. "I'm like megaman or kirby; absorbing different powers one after another."

"Mega-what?" Draculaura said confused. "Who are they?"

"Uhh never mind," Cody shook his head. "Just video game characters."

Just then Robecca Steam walked over to their table. She didn't sit down, instead she quietly stood behind Cody. It felt strange to have her looming over him so he immediately turned to her. "Hey Robecca, how's it going?" Hearing his greeting the other teens seated at the table turned to look.

"Cody, I have bad news." Her voice was still lackluster and dull-or as she called it, "professional". "I continued looking into the matter of your stolen wallet, but I haven't found any leads. I think it's probably gone for good by now."

Draculaura leaned in closer. "Your wallet was stolen Cody?"

"Well we don't know it was stolen," he shrugged. "I might've dropped it or something, but yeah, I lost it a week ago."

"Oh come on Cody," Clawdeen scowled. "You know some creep probably pick-pocketed it off you."

"You should get a chain," Frankie suggested. "Then no one can take it off your pants. You can have one of mine. I've got lots of chains."

Cody thanked her for the offer. Then he turned back to Robecca. "And thanks for looking Robecca, but you can stop now. I only lost twenty bucks-I had to ask my parents to loan me some money, they were pissed, but it was fine."

The robot-girl nodded curtly. "Alright then." She lingered for a moment before walking away quietly.

The second she was far enough away Cody's ghoulfriends began whispering to each other. "Poor Robecca," Frankie frowned. "We should do something."

"Maybe we could find a way to make her feel better," Lagoona suggested. "Take her mind off things."

"No, no," Clawdeen shook her head. "We need to confront the problem. We need to find out what the deal is with her."

Spectra appeared confused. "But I thought you told me she's that way because she didn't get the mark."

"But why didn't she get the mark?" Clawdeen asked. "That's what we need to figure out. I mean, I just find it howling ridiculous that Robecca wouldn't be chosen…"

"What if we asked her dad?" Frankie suggested. "Mr. Steam would surely know!"

"Oh but we can't contact him," Lagoona bit her lip. "Even Robecca doesn't know where he is, and we couldn't ask her about it."

"We'll have to think of something…" Clawdeen said more to herself than anyone else at the table. Cody listened in with a sad expression. He too wanted to help, but like his ghouls he didn't know how to contact Robecca's creator.

As he was lost in thought Ghoulia came over and tugged on his sleeve. The human looked up to see she was trying to hand him back the third volume of the manga he had been lending her. She moaned something indistinct as he took it. "Thanks Ghoulia," he shoved it in his backpack after taking out the fourth volume. "Here you go. If you keep reading them at this pace you'll be finished before me," he joked.

"Gaahh…" she nodded her thanks.

Cleo watched this exchange take place as her eyebrows narrowed. "Ghoulia are you still reading those silly normie books? I thought you were going to get started on our project for class."

"Drahhh…"

"I know I'm supposed to help!" the Egyptian princess scoffed loudly as her zombie helper trudged away slowly. She crossed her arms and pouted "Stupid Cody…"

Her attention was pulled back to the group by Draculaura. "Aren't you ghouls excited? Only two more days till the carnival on Friday! And I heard they got Casta Fierce to perform. Eeek!" she let out the girliest shriek possible. "Isn't that just fangtastic?"

"Oh yes," Spectra nodded. "I'm going to take lots of pictures! Expect my next blog post to have a shot of Casta front and center!"

"Who's Casta Fierce?" Cody asked.

Everyone looked at him like he had just asked what color the sky was. "How do you not know how Casta Fierce is?" Cleo asked in mock outrage. "She's only the biggest rock star in the monster world! Everyone knows her name."

"Come on ghouls, give Cody a break." Frankie looked right at the Egyptian. "We all know he doesn't know as much about our world as we do. He's still learning."

"Well this is the kind of thing he should be learning about," Draculaura spoke up. "I mean, Casta is big news!"

"Can you not talk about me like I'm not at the table?" Cody asked with an annoyed glance. "But despite my ignorance of your celebrities, I am going to the carnival. It sounds like fun."

"I would love to, but I can't," Frankie frowned. "I'm busy babysitting that night."

"I'll be busy too," Lagoona said. "Helping Frankie out."

Clawdeen rested her hand on top of Cody's. "Not me, I got nothing planned. I'm going." Cody smiled up at her. After that no one had much else to say.

The teens finished eating and got up from the table. They went to get rid of their garbage and get ready for class. Howleen and Twyla however were still seated at the now empty table. "Wow," the younger werewolf turned to her best friend. "Did you hear that?"

"Which part?" Twyla asked. "I'm pretty sure I heard all of it."

"The part about the carnival! Cody's gonna be there!" her eyes lit up. "This is my chance Twyla. If we play our cards right I could hook up with the hottest guy in school!"

"I don't know Howleen…" the shadow-ghoul shuffled her feet awkwardly. "Cody already has multiple ghoulfriends. Maybe this isn't such a good idea…"

"Hey don't be like that," Howleen put her arm on her friend's shoulder. "I know you like Cody too, don't you?"

Twyla blushed a dark blue. "…yes," she whispered. "But I'm not sure if I like your plan; it sounds devious. Maybe we'd be better off approaching Cody some other time and being honest about it."

Howleen gave her a weird look. "Sometimes I just don't get what's going on in your head Twyla," she messed up the other girl's hair by rubbing the top with her hand. "But don't worry, once I'm done with Cody I'll let you have a turn with him. What are BFF's for? Now come on," she stood up. "We gotta plan!"

Twyla sighed, but stood up anyway and walked after her best friend. She wasn't sure this was a good idea, but she did like Cody. Perhaps it would work out after all…

It was six p.m. on Friday at the Wolf household. Numerous werewolf cubs were running amok around the house with no adults anywhere in sight. It was business as usual. Howleen was holed up in the bathroom getting dressed and trying to make herself look pretty.

Once she finished combing all the knots out of her long pink hair the werewolf grabbed her signature black beanie and carefully placed it on top. Just as she was about to start on her nails there came a knock on the bathroom door. "Hey Howleen!" it was her older sister. "Open the door!"

"I already told you Clawdeen, you're gonna have to wait!" Howleen shouted through the door without taking her eyes off the mirror. "I'm busy! Just hold it."

"It's not that you brat!" her sister shouted back. "I have to tell you something so let me in." After letting out a dramatic sigh Howleen let her sister in. Clawdeen walked inside the bathroom and let out a loud sneeze. It was then that Howleen realized her older sister was dressed in her robe and her nose was bright red.

"Are you sick? I thought you said you were feeling better."

Clawdeen sniffed. "I was-until it got worse. Now I have a cold. I can't go to the carnival, I'm too sick. Which also means I can't drive you and Twyla."

"Damn," Howleen frowned. "I guess we'll have to walk. Okay thanks for letting me know."

Clawdeen rolled her eyes, "don't worry about me. I'm sure I'll be just fine."

"Sorry Clawdeen," Howleen apologized. "I didn't mean it like that. I truly hope you feel better." She put on her most apologetic face and hoped her sister would buy it. The truth was inside she was jumping for joy. If Clawdeen wasn't going then Cody would be all alone and MUCH easier to win over; especially without her older sister talking to her like she was a toddler.

Clawdeen snorted; whether because she was sick or a natural reaction was unclear. "Who taught you to bullshit? Whatever, I don't have the energy tonight. I'm heading back to my room to sleep this off. You can go to the carnival but don't give Cody too much trouble."

"Whaa….ttt," Howleen tried to sound natural. "I dunno what you're talking about. I'm just going to hang out with Twyla and the other ghouls."

Clawdeen rolled her eyes. "I know you sis, and I know you've wanted Cody to fuck you ever since I went on a date with him way back when. Now he may fuck you, or he may not. Remember he's my boyfriend so don't give him shit about it."

Howleen sighed and rolled her eyes. They were only a year apart and yet sometimes Clawdeen just had to act like the mom. "Okay, okay, stop riding my ass." Just then an idea came to her. "So hey, can I borrow your lucky panties?"

Clawdeen turned and walked out of the bathroom. "Hell no, I gave those things to Cody. Get your own lucky panties, and then maybe you can give them to Cody, if you catch my drift."

Howleen did, and she found the idea to her liking.

Cody didn't get Clawdeen's text until he was already prepared to leave. When he realized he'd be walking to school he put on his jacket and gloves and headed outside. The wind was cold. Cold enough to remind him that it was November after all. He decided to take the bus.

When he got to school he was glad to see the carnival was indoors, not outside. The gym, auditorium and some hallways had been cleared off and filled with carnival games and food stands. The stage had been left clear for the show later on. Various monster teens were already wandering around enjoying themselves.

As Cody stood there feeling alone yet surrounded by people, he wondered who he should hang out with. When he remembered Spectra was coming he sent her a text asking to meet up with her. Unfortunately she replied less than a minute later saying: sorry Cody, busy getting pics + info for blog, love you!

Sighing, Cody put his phone away and looked around again. He was about to walk over to one of the food booths when Cody felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around to see Toralei of all people standing behind him with her arms behind her back smiling. Or was she smirking? He could never tell. "Hey little kitty." She then pulled her arms out from behind her back and wrapped them around his neck before giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "Hey baby, you miss me?"

"T-Toralei?" Cody attempted to free himself from her hold. "What are you doing?"

"Aww what's the matter baby? Can't I say hi to my boy-toy without all the fuss?"

Cody blushed. "I'm not your-ughh!" he shook his head. "I'm not your boyfriend Toralei. I've told you this before."

"And I've told you before, I want a boy-toy not a boyfriend," she smirked. "That's why I let you play house with all those other ghouls. But at the end of the day you belong to me."

Cody could see there was no reasoning with her. He could try, but Toralei tended to scare him and he didn't want to risk agitating her enough to the point that she brought out her claws. "Just tell me what you want. Where are those two werecats that follow you around anyway?"

"Purrsephone and Meowlody?" she guessed. "They don't follow me around everywhere; I'm sure they're having fun somewhere else." The truth of it was however, that both werecats were twenty feet away watching their leader while keeping an eye out at the same time to alert her of any interference. They had been instructed to text her if Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona or Spectra tried to approach.

"I just thought we could hang out," she said. "Enjoy the carnival together. What'd you say?"

"Well I don't know, I mean…"

"Great!" she cut him off. "First you can buy me something to eat." Grabbing his arm and locking it into hers, Toralei dragged him over to the stands.

After standing in line for a few minutes Cody bought Toralei a giant pretzel but decided to buy nothing for himself. He planned to save his money for some of the games instead. As they walked around and Toralei ate, Cody decided he needed to escape the werecat somehow. A girl like Toralei would empty my wallet if I hung around her long enough, he thought to himself.

"Hey Toralei, I umm…have to go to the bathroom." He lied. "Be real quick."

Cody was already turning to leave so Toralei didn't stop him. "Alright," she said after taking a bite of her pretzel. "But you better be back here before I finish eating this thing."

After a quick nod he walked towards the bathrooms at a normal pace until he was sure the crowd blocked him from her view. Then he ran in the opposite direction trying to put as much space between them as he could. When he finally stopped running and looked around he realized he was back near the entrance.

"Hey Cody! Over here!" A ghoul's voice called out. Turning toward the door he saw Howleen waving her right arm at him. Standing right next to her trying to look invisible was her best friend Twyla.

"Oh hey Howleen," Cody greeted her after she walked over. "Didn't think you'd be here-with your sister sick and all."

"Oh no worries, I'm perfectly healthy," she assured him. "And big sis can take care of herself; you know her."

"Right," Cody nodded. Subtly his eyes glanced back at the other door checking if Toralei had come after him. So far so good. "How are you Twyla?"

"I'm okay," the quiet girl gave him the faintest of smiles. "You look nice Cody."

"You must be lonely," Howleen got right up to the human on his left side. "Without my sister or any of your other ghoulfriends, right?"

"Well I…certainly wish they were here," he chuckled. After dealing with Toralei Cody could hardly say he was 'lonely'. In fact, he kind of wished he was alone.

"Well don't worry," the werewolf wrapped one of her arms around Cody's. "We'll hang out with you tonight. It'll be a howling good time! Right Twyla?"

"Of course, that is, if Cody wants to…"

"I was just going to play some of the games," Cody told them.

"Awesome! We can all play!"

Cody liked both Howleen and Twyla so he decided to go with it for now. He thought the werewolf-girl was being more forceful than usual-and he had come here to have fun, not sex-but it wasn't a big deal. He was more worried about Toralei finding them.

They walked over to a dart booth and Cody tried to keep his head down when they passed the crowds. It didn't seem to be working. Deciding he'd rather play the game than worry Cody put down a dollar on the counter and the monster working there snatched it up.

"Hi Gigi," Twyla waved at the person in the booth. Cody blinked and then realized it was the genie-girl. He hadn't even noticed her.

"Hi Twyla," she waved politely. "Hi Howleen, Cody. You want to play?"

"Yes." Cody of course knew the rules. He had to throw darts at the backboard filled with water balloons. If he scored enough points he'd win a prize. The harder to hit balloons were worth more points giving bigger prizes. Cody had three darts. His first shot hit a yellow balloon on the left. Howleen and Twyla cheered. His second hit an orange balloon on the upper right corner. They cheered again. He took his third and last dart and aimed right for a green balloon in the lower left corner.

"Cody!"

The sudden distraction caused him to turn slightly as he threw. His dart went off course and ended up popping a normal red balloon in the center. Gulping in fear he turned around to see Toralei had caught him. She looked unhappy. "Hey!" Howleen glared at the werecat. "You made him miss!"

"Sorry Cody, but this is all I can give you." Gigi said apologetically as she handed him a purple bear that was small enough to hold in one hand. "Better luck next time."

Toralei ignored the werewolf. "You ditched me you creep! Rawr you know I don't like that." She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him along. "Come on, you're buying me three more treats to make up for it!"

"Hey hey, what's your deal?" Howleen said slapping Toralei's paw off of Cody. "Cody's hanging out with me!"

"Don't you mean us?" Twyla tried to say but couldn't be heard over the sound of the other two ghouls.

"Really? You ditched me to hang out with Clawdeen's baby sister?" Toralei scoffed before turning to the werewolf. "Cody's with me, he already promised to spend all night with me. So go run along and go play with your dollies little ghoul."

Howleen's eye twitched at being called 'baby' and 'little ghoul'. "That's bullshit Toralei and you know it!"

"Oh yeah? Well why don't we let Cody decide?" she motioned to the boy standing between them. Cody suddenly realized the spot he was in and froze.

"Fine with me!" she turned to the human. "Go ahead Cody, give that bear to whichever ghoul you're here with."

"In other words: me!" Toralei pushed Howleen aside and held out her hand. Howleen pushed her back and did the same.

Cody glanced down at the small bear in his hands. He wasn't sure which to do. Whichever girl he picked the other would be very upset. For the most part he'd rather hang out with Howleen, however she was being very clingy at the moment. On the other hand a small part of him actually wondered if he'd have more fun with Toralei. Unable to choose between the two he picked…neither.

He tossed the doll over to Twyla who just barley caught it. The look of surprise on her face was enough to make her almost drop it again. Of course neither Howleen nor Toralei appeared happy with his choice.

"Cody you were supposed to throw it to one of us!" Howleen frowned.

"Ughh she doesn't even count you pussy," Toralei sighed. "Fine, we'll just have to decide it a different way." She pointed to the nearest carnival game. "First one to beat that game gets Cody the whole night!"

"You're on!"

Both girls rushed over and took a seat in front of the booth. Twyla and Cody walked over behind them and watched. Cody recognized the game-or at least he recognized the human version. It was similar to that game where you shoot a water gun into a clown's mouth to make the balloon explode, only instead of a clown it was a blob monster that exploded.

"You're going down you mangy cat!"

"Rawr! Just try it you mutt!"

Both were so focused on competing that neither was paying any attention to their prey. Cody decided now would be a good time to split. "I'm getting out of here Twyla. If you could give me some time to escape I'd appreciate it." The daughter of the boogey-man nodded.

Cody ran off wondering where to hide. He considered just leaving the carnival altogether, but something held him back. Part of him wanted to see this 'Casta Fierce' perform and see if she was as great as all the ghouls said. Checking the clock he saw there wasn't much time left before she was scheduled to sing. He decided to wait it out.

Unfortunately Toralei and Howleen noticed Cody's absence before they even finished their game. Twyla did her best to distract them but they didn't pay her any attention and just ran off after Cody. "I'll check this side of the school, you check the other half." Toralei instructed her rival.

"Hey you can't tell me what to do!" Howleen pouted, but Toralei was already leaving so she turned to Twyla. "I'll do what she says for now, but Twyla I want you to guard the entrance to the auditorium where Casta will perform; he might come there."

"But Howleen, I think we should stop…"

The werewolf-girl sighed. "I know this hasn't worked out so far, but let's try one more time okay?" The other ghoul nodded reluctantly. "Thanks!"

So Twyla went to stand guard. Dozens of people passed her by eager to see the show, but none of them human. When it was only a few minutes till the show started she thought he must've gone a different way until she spotted Cody heading right for her door, but he couldn't see her because she was hiding in the shadows. When she finally revealed herself he nearly jumped.

"Twyla! Are they still looking for me?"

"Yes," she sighed. "But I'm not going to stop you Cody. Please go ahead."

"Really?" he had assumed the shadow-girl would help her BFF out no matter what. But it looks like Twyla's loyalty only went so far. "Thanks Twyla, I owe you one." He then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Twyla's face burned a dark purple. Her gloved hand reached up and touched the spot where he kissed her, but by then he had already disappeared into the crowd.

The excitement in the crowd was palpable as Cody tried to swim through the sea of excited teens. He found somewhere to stand where he wasn't standing on someone's toes or being elbowed in the face just in time. Casta Fierce took the stage and the excitement in the room tripled as everyone started cheering or screaming.

Cody looked through the sea of arms to get a glance at the monster-woman herself. Casta was taller than most of the ghouls at Monster High (she was nineteen after all) with green skin and long raven hair with a purple and orange hair strand running down the middle. She wore an orange dress that looked like someone had poured a ridiculous amount of purple glitter on the lower half and then attached a sparkly bottom with a belt. Her boots were a matching purple.

Cody realized she must be a witch judging by how her microphone stand was shaped like a broom. After smiling at the crowd and waiting for them to quiet down she put her well-decorated face up to the microphone and spoke. "Hello Monster High! We are Casta and the Spells! Are you guys ready to rock?"

The following screams answered her question easily enough. She began to sing a song about witches and spells as her band backed her up. As Cody listened along with the crowd he found himself enjoying it. The songs had a good beat and Casta was a hell of a singer-pretty too.

They were three songs in when Cody spotted Toralei and Howleen searching the crowd for him. Those girls did not know when to give up! He waded through the crowd as best he could moving in the opposite direction. By the fifth song the ghouls had spotted him and chased after. Cody soon found himself with nowhere to go.

The song ended and everyone started clapping. Casta bowed and Cody realized the show was over; the band had finished playing. As the curtain began to fall Cody took a chance and jumped on stage and slid under the curtain. At first he thought he was going to be in trouble, but no one even noticed him. The band was packing up and leaving. Casta was already gone.

Trying to appear casual, Cody stuck his hands in his pocket and whistled quietly as he walked across the stage toward the back. He hoped there was a backdoor he could use, but instead he found himself in a dim hallway with only a few doors. Examining the one closest to him the human found a paper star taped to it with "Casta" written in permanent marker.

"Cody!" The boy's head swerved to the side. Toralei and Howleen had found him! He was about to make another break for it when the door suddenly slammed open and hit him on the side of the head. Cody hit the floor with a thud.

"Whoops," Casta said. It turned out that was Casta's room, and she had accidentally hit Cody with the door. Seeing Casta Fierce suddenly appear and Cody hit the ground like that both Toralei and Howleen stopped in their tracks. "Are you okay?" she grabbed Cody's hand and helped pull him to his feet.

"Yeah…" the boy wobbled to his feet. "Just got a bump on my head."

"I'm sorry about that," she said in her silky, sexy voice. She got a good look at him. "Wow are you a fan of mine? You're so cute." Cody looked embarrassed as he rubbed the side of his head. "I think I have some ice for your head in the room they set up for me. Would you like to come in?"

Toralei and Howleen's jaws hit the floor when Cody walked into Casta Fierce's backstage room. There was just the briefest moment right before she closed the door when the rock star looked right at the two teen ghouls and winked. She knew.

"What the fuck? Did she just-?"

"Did we just get-? By Casta Fierce?"

"I can't believe this! That fucking slut!"

"I'm never illegally downloading another song of hers ever!"

They both went home disappointed.

After handing Cody some ice to rest against the side of his head Casta sat on the edge of the dresser in her fitting room and smiled. "So Cody, tell me about yourself. I've never met a normie at a monster school before."

So of course Cody was only too happy to answer any questions she had. He told her all she wanted to know and even got to ask her a few questions including the ever popular "do you have a boyfriend" that always seemed to end with "no". The length of the conversation lasted at least fifteen minutes but there's no need to go into all the details. Suffice to say it ended when Casta took off her shiny dress.

Cody had never imagined how beautiful green skin could be until an incredibly sexy witch stood in front of him in nothing but her lacy black bra and thong. It wasn't until she unhooked her bra that he realized how huge her tits were. Those are D's, he thought as her boobs were set free. They plopped out of the bra and bounced for a second in front of him as his dick went from soft to hard.

Casta had big, thick lips that enveloped his own when they kissed. She was leaning up against the wall with her eyes closed while his hands went to work on her tits. He even broke the kiss just so he could run his tongue up and down the length of both boobs. The witch didn't mind; she giggled in a horny voice as he sucked in her overly large nipples.

"You like those titties huh?" she got down on her knees and smushed them together. Cody plunged his hard cock under and up until only the tip was visible between her melons. She then gave him the greatest tit-fuck he'd ever had. Her boobs were like two giant sexy marshmallows working his dick till he couldn't take it any longer. He came like a geyser shooting straight up. When gravity hit, his cum landed back on her tits and face. She licked it off.

But Cody wasn't done yet. By the time she slipped out of her thong and tossed it to him as a souvenir his dick was hard again. It soon found its way into the folds of her pussy. Casta gasped at how deep his well-endowed member penetrated in one go and the sound turned Cody on more.

He fucked her with her back up against the large mirror and drove his cock into her again and again. "Oh Cody! Oh Cody!" She moaned erotically. Her tits bounced for him so he buried his face in them while her pussy tightened around his dick. "Deeper! Deeper! Oh I'm cumming! Cumming like a whore!" Casta let out one last loud gasp as her orgasm hit.

"Me too! I'm cumming!" Cody gave one final thrust as his orgasm hit and the floodgates were opened. Wave after wave of semen flooded her pussy and womb till it spilled out down the human's balls. He pulled out and it seeped out of her all at once.

"That was so…fucking excellent," Casta gasped. "You really filled me up with your baby-batter huh cutie?" She scooped up some cum from her pussy with her finger. Holding it up to her mouth she licked it off. Then Casta turned over to the side and pulled her butt back with her hands exposing her asshole. "Think you can do the same with this hole?"

It was late at night when Cody wandered back home, cold and very worn out. He hadn't expected Casta to ask him to fuck her in the ass right after fucking her pussy, but he was up for it. Anal was still new for him so he imagined it was worth how sore he would feel tomorrow morning.

When he arrived at his apartment he realized someone was already standing outside the door. It was Ghoulia, and she was freezing. Her arms were crossed to keep warm and her teeth were chattering. Realizing he needed to get her inside where it was warm Cody quickly opened the door and let her in.

Once she was inside and the door closed he turned to her. "Ghoulia what are you doing here?" In response she held up a shaking hand grasping the last volume of manga he had let her borrow the day before.

"Gaa…"

Cody sighed. "You're crazy." He took the book from her and led her over to his room. He showed her his bookcase where he kept all his graphic novels. Though he couldn't understand anything she was saying he could tell she was excited. The human told the zombie-girl she could read whatever she wanted, but she better stay here for the night because of how late it was.

He made them both warm cups of hot chocolate. Ghoulia took it and gave him a quick nod before returning to her reading. Cody decided to join her and read something else. After about an hour Ghoulia's reading was disturbed by the sound of light snoring. She looked up from her current book to see Cody had fallen asleep sitting up in bed and the book had fallen to the floor.

The zombie girl yawned and put down her book on the desk. Using her considerable strength she turned Cody over-being careful not to wake him-and pulled the blanket over him. She then climbed in bed with him after taking off her glasses. Turning toward his sleeping face she lightly kissed his cheek before falling into her own deep slumber.
