Clawdeen Pov:
"Can't believe I'm doing this, I mean I thought it be possible to just come to Monster High and have the same experience like my mother. But with me becoming human, there's no point. However now with a chance of possibly staying a werewolf through Hyde's journals it's possible, the one thing that's bothering me is Frankie and Junior helping me. Which I'm grateful for but worried if they get in trouble, not to mention Junior since he is the new king of Kaiju and it could lead to trouble. Still, if there's a chance to become a full werewolf I'm taking it."
Night Time-Dorms
The full moon had come rising in the night as the students were getting into their rooms and ready for bed. Though not so much for Clawdeen and Frankie as the two ghouls were right now having a secret conversation about how she ended up becoming 'human' in the archives room. Meanwhile for Draculaura was reading a vampire novel since she had finished her studies in the last hour.
"It just, happened. I was reading up on Hyde trying to figure out the words, which thank you for figuring them out. Then suddenly I thought it was Titan trying to scare me since he and Lagoona have been doing that to the freshmen. Suddenly I end up, you know."
Clawdeen summarizing of how she changed during the incident since it was the same time when both them and Junior were in the room where the lightbulbs exploded underneath them. Taking a moment to think about it, electricity started to course threw Frankie's mind as she had a reason for the sudden change.
"It's a Fight or Flight response, it's common for most creatures with shape shifting qualities. Especially with hybrids when they reach an appropriate age when it gets triggered by emotions."
Giving a explanation behind how Clawdeen might have transformed due to her fear of the school acting up. While that would make sense, it seemed there was another reason when she was focusing on her work.
"Well I was a bit frighten, as well thinking about what happened with the 'bathroom' incident."
Trying her best to not make it sound big as Frankie took a moment to think about it for a couple seconds before snapping their fingers realizing it. However Clawdeen panicked and stopped them from overreacting since it felt embarrassing, along that Draculaura could hear them from here.
"I mean. After the class I thought it be good to freshen up since the lesson was a bit to long, then suddenly I see. Him, and then. Stuff."
Unable to think about anything since both Junior and Clawdeen were shocked about how they saw one another in a unexpected environment. While Junior merely ignored it and left the scene to allow Clawdeen to have the room to herself, she was right now thinking about how to fix things between them and try to act like friends.
"Lately I've been making a small playlist for Junior to apologize for what happen. I might give it to him later."
Offering a gift so they could try and go on throughout the semester without any kind of awkward tensions between. In the back was Draculaura who was able to hear that part she merely kept in any emotion since the Kaiju was causing more trouble in just the first week. As things seem to die down in the room, Clawdeen and Frankie noticed the door opening to which it wasn't Junior but Cleo who apparently heard the conversation threw the door.
"Sorry. But I was just passing by when I happened to hear you might have a crush on 'dog tail'. That's your Kaiju friend's online name, his still trending online on the ghostly gossip."
Responding to the conversation she listen to as Clawdeen merely showed her fangs seeing how that was personal. In which Cleo placed her hands out showing not to try anything, Frankie calmed their friend down seeing how the mummy was telling the truth.
"Either way take it from someone who's been in your shoes. It's a challenge, since for one minute you try and show them so much along try and help socialize with a ancient and proud family, to then feel like it's not enough and decide to cut it off."
Summarizing how a 'couple' works leaving Clawdeen and Frankie to think on how she was possibly describing her breakup with Deuce. To which it seemed she tried to show much her wealth and power due to being royalty, however it seemed to much that left with them breaking up. Cleo taking a breath feeling like she had to say it soon saw there was much more to say for the wolf girl.
"So just to be safe, don't do it. Cause most monsters and Kaiju are not what their cracked up to be, and for a pup like you. They'd possibly chew you up quickly."
Stating that Clawdeen should try to date which made the wolf girl's heart beat faster, which could almost leave her to change into a human right in front of them. However Draculaura who watched the display merely coughed a bit which had the three look at the vampire who was watching the scene as well showing a sly smirk upon her face.
"It's funny. Because while meeting new people and having dates is challenging, we should discuss your new friend that you just made."
The vampire bringing up which confused Cleo about what Draculaura was talking about, this also had Clawdeen and Frankie confused as the two took a moment to figure out what was happening. In which Frankie noticed first leaving them surprise what Draculaura meant by that, Cleo looked at the reanimated ghoul confused about what was with the look on their face.
"What? What's wrong?"
Questioning Frankie as they handed her a mirror as Clawdeen held in her breath feeling like she was about to laugh. Taking a look at the mirror to see what was wrong, Cleo's eyes widen at what looked like a zit on her face. Horrified at the sight as well screaming at how it was impossible for someone like her to get this type of blemish, leaving her to shatter the mirror in her hand and run out of the room. Both Clawdeen and Frankie turned to their roommate Draculaura confused of how she noticed the zit on Cleo's face.
"What? Getting angry causes the skin to break out, plus. It was getting to loud, so try to keep it down please."
Asking for peace and quite before closing her coffin to try and finish her book, while the two breathed in air for relief for that lucky break. They soon hear the door opening up which they thought it was Cleo again to continue freaking out, it was Junior who had a confused expression on his face who seem to have saw something peculiar down the hallway.
"How come I just saw Cleo running around like if they destroyed the pyramids?"
Questioning on why the mummy was crying outside in which the two ghouls didn't respond since it would be difficult to explain. What they did notice was him having a duffle bag that seemed to be from the gym as he placed it by their side.
"This is to bring the books that we might need since we're going in the graveyard, plus some snacks since we might be doing a lot of exploring. So we should start get ready soon."
Explaining how they should get ready to head to the cemetery as they soon heard the announcement that curfew was underway. Meaning it was the perfect opportunity to head out and prepare to search for Hyde's lab. Getting on the right clothing as well supplies for the trip, they carefully stepped out of the room trying to not alert Draculaura. However just as the trio left the room, the vampire's coffin opened up which had the vampire take a peak if there was anyone else left in the room. Sighing at the relief she stepped out able to enjoy the moment she had to herself.
"Finally. I can get ready."
Feeling like she could be herself as she went to the side of her coffin where she had a secret compartment where had a small book. With the addition of several vials that held ingredients that came from her home, packing them up in a small bag and getting the proper attire. She opened up the window and carefully stepped up, closing it behind Draculaura changed into the bat where she had other matters to handle on her own.
Night Time-Campus Graveyard
Outside of Monster High was the zombie center where most undead students along Kaiju would rest here due to their shared qualities of the undead. Right at the gate was Armor who was nervous about letting in three non undead monsters and Kaiju into the graveyard, so far this was the first time doing something that was 'reckless'.
"Relax Armor. Your just letting three people that you barely known in zombie territory and could get into big trouble with Bloodgood, or worst. Caesar."
Worrying about how while Bloodgood could scare the spikes off him, Caesar was another story since the two grew up as childhood friends. That was when it got complicated when they begun hanging around Cleo and Ghoulia. Meaning he got serious into his guardian duties while himself? Just trying to roll on with the moment.
"Why am I worrying? Their just here to study. Not construct a Franken monster that could tear apart the school. Right?"
Trying to not think about what the three could do as suddenly he felt a twig snapping causing him to roll up into a ball in a defensive manner. Peaking out of his shell, he saw none other than the trio who made it in time. Crawling right out he dusted himself since he didn't want to look rather frightened In front of Junior and the others.
"Thank you letting us come into the graveyard, promise not to cause any commotion. Will keep things quiet."
Clawdeen thanking the spike like Kaiju for letting them into the graveyard as he merely showed a shy smile for the compliment as he soon opened the gate. However not to loud as he had to make sure not to wake up any of the zombies in the graveyard, carefully walking inside. The trio soon made their way threw the the cemetery seeing several tombstones with names as well showing a 'occupied' sign on it.
"Maybe we can stop by one of the graves to see a piece of mine. There several that are currently occupied here."
Frankie asking since most of their original host's body parts were right now in the ground, Junior looked at several of them as he decides to look at one of the books which showed the coordinate to possibly Hyde's lab. Continuing their search, Frankie nudged to Clawdeen to offer the music playlist to Junior since the atmosphere was right. The wolf girl was nervous about the moment as it seem not the right time, however with them looking around it was best to try anyway.
"Junior?"
Calling out to him as the Kaiju soon stopped to see what Clawdeen might want as he handed Frankie the book since they had much better eyes in figuring out the map. Taking a moment to think about her words carefully, she brought out her Icoffin which she begun to text the playlist to Junior.
"Is it another video of me acting like a stooge? Cause I've already got several videos that Frankie shared with me."
Guessing since he's been noticed by numerous students by the Ghostly Gossip along laughed at. He didn't mind that much, but it was getting bothersome since it could have gotten some unfriendly Kaiju's coming after him. Except his train of thought soon changed as he saw the message from Clawdeen, he was speechless since he noticed new songs that were human based. Along that it was possibly the first ever gift he had ever received.
"It's a apology for what happened. I mean I didn't see anything, but also. It's just been a while since I've had friends and I don't want to make things weird or anything."
Clawdeen explaining her apology gift as Junior was still at shock for what she did for him. The lizard boy merely breathed in understanding her reason and thanked her, while trying to not lose his cool since no one has ever done this for him. They soon heard the footsteps in front of them stopping as Frankie had found the location.
"This should be the location, cause of the fauna and plant life cover the stone structure really scary like."
Pointing out how out of most of the mausoleum's in the cemetery, this one had a ancient appearance as well hadn't been touched by anyone. Walking over to check it out, the three tried to figure out if there was a way inside. Continuing to look, Clawdeen's nose began to twitch around as there was a strange scent filling her nose.
"Wait. Something's off."
Stating to them as both Junior and Frankie got curious about what she was talking about since the graveyard was filled with a large amount of strange smells. This one in particular made the wolf girl on edge as she turned her attention to the other side as she followed the scent. Seeing her head off, Junior and Frankie followed their friend seeing that the scent had Clawdeen's attention. Staying silent they heard a bubbling sound as well liquids being poured, taking cover behind some rocks they saw a surprising sight.
"Cool."
Clawdeen said as the three saw their roommate Draculaura near a old cauldron who had a bag with several vials and holding a book. Reading it off she poured another liquid within which turned the substance green, Junior's eyes opened knowing that same glow along stood up ruining their element of surprise.
"I knew you were cooking up something in the bathtub!"
Shouting at the vampire which scared Draculaura causing her to focus and notices her roommate along the others. Her usual expression of being calm and focused left to being surprised and nervous about what was going on.
"What are you all doing here?"
"We should ask the same thing since your here."
Clawdeen responding back to Draculaura as the vampire was unable to figure out a comeback due to how this was a shocking since she didn't expect them to be here. Meanwhile for Frankie, they were determining what Draculaura was doing to which only lasted a few seconds as they put the pieces together.
"Witchcraft! I knew there was a reason why Cleo got that zit, most mummies don't get facial blemishes due to their unique physiology, that and they practice herbal medicines on themselves."
Deducing the moment as Draculaura tried to figure out a explanation, to which the vampire had nothing as she then begun to panic feeling like it was over for her. They could tell on her to the headmistress and she'd be kicked out of school, or worst tell her father which would be a fate worst than the sun.
"Please, there has to be someway we can forget about this? My dad will kill me if he found out, even if I'm undead."
Pleading to them to not tell on her as this was a complete different than the three had seen at the beginning. Clawdeen seeing the panicked look on her face, she merely calms Draculaura down since they wouldn't try anything like that, seeing how they were already doing something they shouldn't be.
"We won't. We're just surprise about you being out here, along doing witchcraft. Which were possibly confused since we thought it was bad."
Promising her they wouldn't tell on her as the only thing looming through their minds was why she was practicing witchcraft even if it was considered bad. Draculaura, merely shows a sign of sadness seeing how it wasn't like that before.
"It's, complicated. Since in the beginning witchcraft was hailed for being incredible thanks to Pandora. However, humans soon learned how to master it and used it against vampires. Not exactly pretty, because most of humans didn't survive using witchcraft."
Giving them a brief history of how witchcraft was considered a amazing talent that could have possibly help others, only to be turned into a weapon and used at monster and vampire races. Showing them her book, it was both old along had been with her for a long time.
"I found it in my father's collection, when he once did a lot of fighting before becoming so. Count like. All I want is to try and make witchcraft known as something amazing then feared, since it's possibly the only thing that'll help me stand out from him."
Professing that she wanted to try and make it respected again, though the last part made Junior upset seeing how she believed doing this would make her different from Dracula. With what she was doing here along how he's known her for a couple of days, she didn't need to do anything.
"You already are doing that. By being yourself, as well not thinking about him when doing witchcraft. Which is something you like, meaning it's not wrong."
He said comforting her for how she shouldn't do witchcraft in order to be different, but to do it for herself and to enjoy. The vampire was surprised by his words along how Clawdeen and Frankie agreeing that she should enjoy it without thinking about trying to be better than her father. A small smile grew upon her face for the compliment, but it still made her confused on what they were doing here in the graveyard.
Later
With how they handled with Draculaura's secret in practicing witchcraft, Frankie had the job in explaining the situation to her about why they were here and what was the purpose for the trip. So far from what she was told, the vampire girl was trying her best to put the pieces all together since it was a lot to process since it was huge.
"Ok. So Clawdeen is half human and believes that a dead scientist might have the key in helping her remain a werewolf, and Junior here is the new king of Kaiju who might want to find a way to fix his situation with the research."
Putting it together as it sounded heavy for her since this was the first a human or rather a half human had made it into the realm without alerting anyone. While for Junior since it's been years since there had been a new king of Kaiju announced, so the two being in the same room with her felt like a giant stake waiting to pierce right threw the heart of Monster High.
"In a nutshell, yes. I thought I was going a bit overboard with the information but your handling it quiet well, I mean I don't think it's a big deal."
Frankie stating since they were still new to the experience as well didn't know why Draculaura was worrying about it. Taking a moment the four stared at the stone structure until Clawdeen noticed something on the wall, heading over she removed most of the vines where she saw a hand print.
"I think we found our entrance."
Offering a optimistic tone as they walked over seeing what looked like a hand print symbol upon the wall. With the hand being savage like as well scratched up, it might resembled to Junior as he took a moment to look at it.
"Of course. A biometric hand print, now that's advance. Still it would have to require the right amount of force and DNA to work. Which is kinda impossible since it's all stone, maybe that's why Hyde was a genius."
Frankie stating as it seemed Junior could be the only one that could open the door. To which he places his hand on the symbol waiting if something would happen, only for nothing to happen as he growled at that the door didn't open for him which left the others sadden by this.
"Well then, if science can't help us. Then let's try old fashion Kaiju brute force."
Suggesting to them as he cracked his knuckles feeling like this would take to long and would decide to break it. However Clawdeen and Frankie stopped him since if he brought down the structure then they'd lose any chance to find the lab or anything related to Hyde's research.
"I think I have a better solution."
Draculaura telling them as they turned around seeing what the vampire had in mind as they were curious about what that meant. Looking threw her book, she was able to find something that could help them out in this predicament.
"A resurgence spell, it allows the host to unlock a possible inner strength. Such as that weird blue thing that happens whenever something happens, meaning the spell could help unlock it and could open the door."
Suggesting of how the spell might allow Junior to unlock the door, however her face expression changed as it seemed to be a challenge since the spell was advance and dangerous to make at the same time. They walked over to check it out seeing that the spell would require many ingredients, however Frankie noticed a spell they could try out.
"How about a beginning spell? That's how I learned about putting myself together. Always start small before going to something advance, like this one. Illumination."
Expressing that they should start of simple before heading to the resurgence spell as it seem possible, since the illumination spell merely allows one to brighten anyone's inner self along whatever is deep within them. While it sound perfect, Clawdeen was curious about the sudden decision to help out.
"You want to help us? Even if you know I'm half human?"
Questioning her about that while most monsters would hate humans, she'd thought the daughter of Dracula would either drain her of blood or try something. However the ghoul merry shook her head since after how things were going along with what she was striving for, a grudge wasn't worth the effort.
"If it can help me with my witchcraft, why not. Besides, it's not often that I have monsters that are curious about my hobbies."
Slowly smiling at how this seemed like the first time anyone would be ok with her doing witchcraft. Which had the three smile at Draculaura of how confident she was with this privilege of showing them her skills, meanwhile for Junior he decided to walk over by the cauldron and sat right down on a rock observing the three ghouls.
"Well then, if you think this will work than me smashing the place? Then show me."
Offering them a challenge seeing how he still thought it would have worked in breaking the door, but it would cause commotion. So he decided to let Draculaura handle the situation, but with how he said it to the trio. They merely shared a smirk of how it seemed like a bad idea to doubt their skills, in which they soon begun to conjuring the spell.
"So I've been hiding the truth, cause I know they don't approve. But now I'm spilling my secrets around you."
Draculaura starting to sing which caught Junior off surprise as the three ghouls circled around the cauldron looking for the right ingredients for the spell. Clawdeen checked out the spell book making sure to help out.
"Felt like I didn't belong. Part of a pack, now it's on. Goodbye to living a lie, now I've found you."
Smiling to the three of them as they begun to formulate a potion for Junior to drink. Gathering the ingredients they made the cauldron change it's color into purple. Grabbing a vial they handed it to Junior as the Kaiju decided to drink it.
"Putting the pieces in place. So good to finally say.."
Stopping for a second to see what the effects would be for Junior, which resulted in the Kaiju to hiccup. Though in a rhythmic motion as he couldn't stop himself, more or less of how the singing made him move with the flow.
"It's like oh! We'll be making them believe in us! Oh, yeah we can own it just by being us! Put us all together, there's no gettin' in our way. No messing with the three of us!"
The trio singing towards Junior as the spell quickly went away leaving the lizard confused about what happened to him. Taking a moment to catch his breath, Frankie decided to do a measurement of his body to see how the next potion would work for him.
"Taking the sum of our parts using our brains and our hearts. Now finally someone is speaking my language."
Singing with a smile as they went back gathering several ingredients from the ground seeing that the spell needed a earthly resource. Stirring a couple of times, the four saw how the cauldron was acting up.
"I like not being afraid. We're gonna do it our way. Don't need permission from the world to change it!"
Clawdeen and Draculaura singing at the same time before the cauldron changed colors into orange. Junior now nervous about the second drink, he decided to drink it as well didn't feel anything as this left the three confused about no type of effect.
"Putting the pieces in place. So good to finally say.."
Taking a moment to wait they soon see how Junior begun to feel light on his feet, seeing how he begun to float he decided to mess around which surprised the ghouls of how they made him weightless.
"It's like oh! We'll be making them believe in us! Oh, yeah we can own it just by being us! Put us all together, there's no gettin' in our way. No messing with the three of us!"
Cheering of how this one might help out with Junior's illuminating, however for the Kaiju. This was the first time he was enjoying himself or with friends, in which he decided to invite the others as he lift one after the other in a weightless movement.
"It's like yeah! After everything that we've been through. Yeah, taking the power back to live our truth. Put us all together, there's no gettin' in our way No messing with the three of us!"
Singing out along having the chance to go up in mid air as Junior smiled at this new ability he had obtain. Except it went away as he smashed right into a empty hole in the ground, standing out as they saw the cauldron was green. Worried about the next potion, Draculaura didn't know if this one would work as they cautious about the potion.
"Put us all together, put us all together. Put us all together. There's no getting in our.."
Stopping for a moment as they turned to Junior to seeing how he was the only one who might with stand the taste. The Kaiju merely blows smoke out of his nose as he accepts it as he decided to try it one last time.
"Put us all together, put us all together. Put us all together."
The trio continuing their song as the lizard soon drank it one gulp. Which suddenly went right into his stomach as it didn't feel like anything, the ghouls looked sadden at how there was no effect. That was until his plates began to glow blue as this surprised Junior since he didn't feel angry, he felt calm as well happy as this was the first time he flowed blue with feeling angry.
"There's no getting in your way, way, way, yeah!"
Singing out as the trio cheered on how they managed to successfully make the potion work. The four spun around feeling like they could open the door as well find the lab, but right now they were enjoying how they were able to work together with helping Draculaura out with her first spell.
"Put us all together, there's no gettin' in our way. No messing with the three of us!"
Finishing the song as well looking to Junior who still was glowing, that was until he begun to fill his nose twitch due to him smelling the cauldron. Losing the glow he quickly lets out a sneeze as the force made him hit the ground hard and making a cracking sound.
"I think I broke something."
Asking a bit frighten like as he got up and noticed a scale of his broken, to which it was near his tail as the trio couldn't help but chuckle of how he was acting scared. Helping him up as well cleaning up the environment and making sure they didn't make that much a mess, the four made their way out while laughing how this was a success. Meaning they could figure out how to do resurgence spell, only question was what ingredients they needed to make it work.
