Toralei had never thought that four words could make her world stop spinning. Never thought that just hearing a name would make her heart sink into an abyss inside her.

Yet hearing her mother's words did just that.

"Although I don't know why she would want to leave La Mōna academy! I mean, she proved herself smart enough to get in."

Toralei tuned her mother out after that. Her mind reeling as it repeated the words:

Katthryn is coming home. Katthryn is coming to monster high.

She hadn't seen Katthryn in years, not really. Not even while living under the same roof as her during the summers. No, Katthryn was too busy learning the ropes to take on Romulus for the title were-leader.

Toralei hung up as soon as she could, turning toward Purrsephone and Meowlody who had been eyeing her worriedly this whole time.

"Katthryn is coming to Monster High."

She could see the way they glanced at each other, the way they refrained from showing their excitement. Katthryn was, after all, the family favorite.

"Wait… Isn't she in that fancy school in New York? Why is she coming here?" Meowlody finally spoke up, earning a shrug.

" Don't know, don't care." Toralei retorted " but I think we should have her a little… welcome party."


" Are you sure this is a good idea Ryn? Your whole reason for going to the monster side of New York was to escape your mother. Besides, she's going to be furious when she sees you."

"Rachel, relax. I can handle my mum and her idiotic ideals. Besides, I'm just worried that if I don't at least fake being interested in besting Romulus that Mother dearest will start putting more pressure on my sister. I can only imagine she is already a control freak." A werecat said into a very normal smartphone, sighing as she added "A year and a half and I'm out of school and can do whatever the fang I want."

A silence passed over the room as both the human on the screen and the werecat went quiet, the latter working to pack.

"Is that school better? I mean…the bullying…" Rachel finally spoke up, earning a slight smile.

"It's a semi-public school founded on the idea of acceptance. Dates back to just after the witch trails… and from the rare calls from my cousins sharing gossip…it's a whole hell of a lot better than where I'm at." Katthryn responded, brow furrowing slightly as she added " and I'll be closer to you. Might actually sneak out to meet up somewhere."


Toralei tried not to think about what Katthryn being there could mean. She already had enough competition the way it was and if she was going to impress her mother she had to come up with something to get her attention.

Or she could find something to make Katthryn into a disgrace or at least look like one in their mother's eyes. Why embarrass Katthryn when she could make her fall from grace? Her mother would have to notice her efforts then!
