Author's Note: First off I'd like to thank prowriter12 for giving me a boost of confidence. As always, I don't own monster high, but I do own my oc's.
After finding themselves in the school courtyard, they were quickly surrounded by students turned soldiers. The group was then guided into the school and saw that it had turned into war zone. All the lockers were spray painted and the classroom doors are broken. As they're walking, Armen approached the monster group.
"Well it seems that some lost troops have returned to home base" Armen said smugly
Haku responded "We are not your troops"
"Just because you've strayed, doesn't mean you can't earn their way back into the fold" said Armen
"What the spark, makes you think we'll join you" cried Frankie
Heath and Toralei walked out and were gestured by Armen "I find ways to be convincing"
"Take Heath for example" The god-like teen said "At first he was defiant, but I used one of my powers to influence him"
"You changed into the slave?" asked Abbey
"I'm no one's slave frosty" Heath said harshly
Armen laughed "As you can see, I've had to use it quite a few times"
"And I guess it was used on her, or did Toralei tell you on her own?" asked Clawdeen
"Only half right. This power works on most but a few" Armen responded "She gave us a general direction"
After hearing this, the group became enraged. They were courted down to the catacombs, which have been modified into prison cells. They were pushed in the largest cell they had. Their captors were about to turn away, but then they shoved Toralei with the others. Everyone was shocked at this.
"What are you doing?" questioned Toralei
"Did you think I would not know about your treachery with the pack leader" answered Armen
"Okay, okay, but this is on me and no one else" the orange cat tried to reason
"Perhaps I should've used a stronger incentive" Armen said while turning away
And with that the cell was slammed shut. Everyone was curious as to was just happened. There were murmurs among the group. Then Toralei crawled into a ball and started to cry silently. A few minutes passed before Brenda approached her and tried to be of comfort to her.
"What's the matter love?" questioned Brenda
"He's gonna hurt them" replied Toralei
"Who is he going to hurt?" asked the banshee girl
"Can I be honest?"Toralei said while wiping away tears "Because his power didn't work, he took monsters from my life"
Cleo realized "You mean Meowlody and Purrsephone" Toralei only nodded
Draculaura then asked "Then who is this pack leader?"
"Romulus, he was going to help me located them and smuggle them out" she answered
"Why didn't you tell us?" Clawdeen asked with concern
"I wasn't about to risk their lives on you, no offense"Toralei replied
"How were we not suppose to take offense"said Scroop
"It matters not, what matters is Armen made a fatal mistake" stated Haku
"What's that?"asked Deuce
"He locked us all together"he replied
Meanwhile, Armen was taking Heath into the headmistress' office. When they entered, they were greeted by Bruce and Neeko. The two felt at ease knowing that that the small uprising was crushed. Bruce was patting Heath on his back for tracking the group to Scarettle, while Neeko was excited about the newest member.
"Greetings all to our newest predator"Armen said about Heath
"Good on ya mate"said Bruce
"Yes, felicitations on your promotion" explained Neeko
Heath replied "Yeah thanks"
"Now he will help us destroy the traitors" Armen proclaimed
"Wait, their my friends. And Abbey-" Heath was interrupted
The young titian press a glowing hand to Heath's head "Everyone is an enemy, especially Abbey"
"Right, of course" The flame-headed teen said
Armen knew that for whatever reason his powers over him was fading. The attack on the facility had to be done soon, and he need many more predators to lead the charge. This was also a way to sort the strong from the weak of the student body. Little did he suspect that his new prisoners were plotting his downfall.
So that's all for now, I have to put some serious thought about the next chapter.
