Frankie and Clawdeen were walking to school. The girls had been chatting about what had happened yesterday with my necklace, but above all, about the camp.
"So. What are we going to do with Cleo? We have to find a way to get her to let Benja join the team." Frankie said with concern causing Clawdeen to shrug.
"I don't know. But what worries me the most is Draculaura. How do you think she's doing with the Benja necklace thing?" The werewolf girl asked curiously but then they saw Draculaura arriving in her car with a worried and nervous expression.
"Draculaura, is everything alright?" Frankie asked curiously but the vampire girl wasn't entirely happy.
"Guys please be honest. Will Benja notice?" Draculaura asked fearfully before showing her the necklace. Frankie and Clawdeen were suddenly surrounded by a depressing aura at the sight of my nearly torn and glue-filled necklace.
"Umm, I think Benja might notice a little bit." Frankie said with a nervous smile but that made Draculaura bow her head sadly.
"It's official. Benja is going to hate me forever." Said the vampire girl sadly making the girl Stein and Clawdeen hug her.
"Relax Draculaura. Everything will be fine, we'll talk to Ghoulia and maybe she'll make it as good as new." The werewolf girl said with a smile before entering the school with her friends.
"It's true, too. Remember, if something's broken, Ghoulia can fix it no problem." Frankie said with a smile. The zombie girl was not only smart, Ghoulia was also very good at finding solutions.
"That's true. That reminds me, did anyone see Benja? I tried to call him but he doesn't answer." Draculaura said with concern causing the girls to look at each other.
"Benja must be training or patrolling. Ever since Waps and those Gotham villains attacked, Bloodgood gave Benja a special pass." Frankie said looking at his friends. The principal was very kind to give me a special card that allowed me to get to school after a patrol, however, I cannot miss two classes in a row or I will be punished.
"Okay. Now we have to talk to Cleo, it's not too late to go to dark beach yet." Clawdeen said with a smile but when the girls entered the gym they were surprised that Cleo was in her cheerleader uniform just like me.
"Very good Benja, keep your balance. Remember, a cheerleader must be delicate but also have great strength to avoid being knocked down." Cleo said with a smile as I was walking on a small rope before starting to do little acrobatic tricks but delicately before landing at the end.
"As I did?." I asked curiously looking at the Egyptian girl.
"Not bad. However, remember, in many of our choreographies we will need your help so the important thing is not to delay your tricks. Remember, alone we can be simple cheerleaders, but together we are a powerful team." Cleo said with a smile making me smile.
"Yes captain." I said smiling before jumping and landing near Cleo. We both turned around only to see the girls standing in the doorway with faces full of surprise.
"I see it and I don't believe it. Benja, you did it!!" Draculaura yelled before hugging me tight making me laugh.
"But how is that possible? Cleo, you said that was a bad idea." Frankie said with surprise looking at the Egyptian girl.
"I realized that Benja and I are not as different as I thought before. You were all right, he is cheerleader material, he just needed a little push." Cleo said with a smile watching Draculaura and I were practicing.
"I'm so glad you trust Benja now. So, all this means that." Frankie smiled brightly making Cleo laugh.
"Yes, Benja will be the first male member on our team." Cleo said which made all the girls scream with excitement making me laugh.
"Okay girls, go to the locker room and change. Benja, you'd better get out of Frankie's outfit and put yours on." Cleo said before looking at me. My face turned red and the Stein girl was shocked before she saw that I was wearing her cheerleader outfit, Frankie didn't understand, but suddenly she started laughing with a cheeky smile.
"Come on Frankie to move, then you can fantasize about Benja wearing a skirt." Cleo said with a mocking tone. The Stein girl turned red before running to the locker room with me but then the girl left the room with a sheepish giggle.
"Wow Frankie, relax. You and Benja can have your honeymoon soon." Draculaura said in a mocking tone making Cleo laugh, that made the Stein girl redder while Clawdeen looked at everything with confusion but also with humor.
In the depths of the Gotham City jail. Waps and Mr.Freeze were working on a machine while Killer Croc and Bane were reluctantly training.
"Concentrate well, you walking leather bag. If we want to catch that boy you have to concentrate." Bane said angrily holding up a punching bag. Killer Croc clenched his fists before delivering a heavy blow that sent Bane and the punching bag flying and crashing into a wall.
"What's wrong, you steroid bag? Does the thought of that helpless little fox scare you after Van Hellscream said that the wizard can master whatever magic there is now?" Killer Croc asked with a giggle. But then the villain had to dodge the punching bag.
"Fuck the alliance, I'm going to remove that scaly skin!!." Bane yelled before launching himself at Killer Croc. They were both going to start fighting but then they noticed a navy blue gas on the ground before they started coughing and fell to their knees on the ground.
"Thank you very much, Scarecrow. Tell me, how did it go with our colleague in Gotham hospital?" Waps asked with a smile while Van Hellscream and Scarecrow arrived at the place.
"Great, we managed to get as much medicine, painkillers, but we also managed to steal some tanks of anesthesia, laughing gas and a few sedatives." Van Hellscream said with a smile before showing off a large number of gas bottles and tanks.
"Great, with all this Scarecrow will be able to improve his fear gas and he will be able to create more variants like that mage does." Waps said with a smile but then he noticed Mr.Freeze approaching.
"Waps, the machine is ready." Said the icy villain with a smile making Waps laugh.
"Wonderful, it's time to try it." The villain said before removing his time machine from his chest. They all got closer before Waps puts his invention into a slot in the machine.
"Bane, pull the lever." Van Hellscream said with a smile. The villain said nothing and pulled the main power switch. Suddenly the machine seemed to start generating electricity which made Mr.Freeze and Waps smile.
"It works, it works!!" Waps yelled with an evil laugh as a portal seemed to appear in the machine but suddenly Bane and Scarecrow had to take cover as the main generator in the place began to release sparks.
"Waps, turn off the machine right now!!." Killer Croc yelled earnestly as the spotlights in the place began to fail and slowly exploded.
"Shit no!!" Waps tried to run to turn off the machine but suddenly an electric field made him and all the villains fall to the ground, the electric wave had been so powerful that much of Gotham had been affected.
"Damn piece of tin, we were so close!!" Waps yelled before hitting the machine but then he felt Van Hellscream's hand on his shoulder which got his attention.
"Keep calm, my dear friend. You don't have to blame yourself for this catastrophic failure, Hexiciah Steam's inventions and mechanics are extremely complex and very difficult to execute. Even he was a monster with intelligence greater than any monster I met before. " Said the monster hunter, that calmed down Waps a bit.
"We're going to need a bigger brain for this, but where are we going to get one bigger than the two of you?" Bane asked seriously before crossing his arms.
"There is a person, he is in Metropolis, but getting there will be very dangerous considering that we are the most wanted villains in the world." Waps said seriously but then they noticed Van Hellscream raise his hand.
"I can take care of this myself, I just need Moanica to accompany me, however I will have to convince her to leave her pets behind or we will draw a lot of people's attention, you said that the monsters here are giant colossi, the zombies will bring more chaos than any other monster I've ever seen." Said the monster hunter looking at everyone.
"Alright, Moanica is in Arkham Asylum right now. Killer Croc, take Van Hellscream to the asylum, believe me the radius of the electrical blast will make the asylum infested with lunatics, and believe me, they're not going to want to run into the they." Bane said seriously making the villain nod.
"Alright, let's go. We'd better get going before someone mauls that zombie girl." Killer Croc said before leaving with Van Hellscream.
The girls and I were ready. We all now had our cheerleading uniforms ready as Cleo was now ahead of us pacing back and forth.
"Alright guys. We're against time, we only have one attempt to get that trip to dark beach. I just want you to know this, even if we don't make it. I want you to know that I'm proud of all of you, and I don't care if we go or not. What matters to me is that everyone has made an effort." Cleo said with a smile making us smile.
"Don't worry, Cleo. We're going to make it, let's do our best!!" I yelled with a smile causing everyone to scream loudly causing the Egyptian girl to shed a tear of hope.
"Very good my friends. It's time for the show!!." Cleo yelled before putting on a song.
Fright Song
Monster High
Ghoulia smiled before dimming the lighting a bit as a storm began to rumble through the place.
Ooh, you give me the chills
The girls and I started dancing and moving in sync with our pompoms while the zombie girl recorded everything with a smile.
( Frankie, Cleo, Clawdeen and Draculaura.)
Walkin' down a darkened hallway
Everybody turns to look at you
It's not because you're different
It's just because you're so scary cool
Draculaura and Clawdeen started performing tricks while Frankie and I picked Cleo up before tossing her into the air to catch her. The Egyptian girl smiled before running off to perform a few flips and flips before landing on Draculaura and Clawdeen's shoulders.
A sinister style, mystery with a smile
You're drop-dead gorgeous
Drop-dead gorgeous
Frankie and I smiled before starting to do the same trick as Cleo but instead of landing on the girls shoulders, we landed spread legged before getting up without a hitch before the rest of the team joined us to continue with the choreography.
High school gives me the creeps
But when I'm with my peeps
You can't ignore us
This is where the ghoul kids rule
Suddenly lightning made all the lights go out, Ghoulia kept recording with the little light that was entering the gym but our eyes were shining just like our smiles.
Monster, Monster High
Monster High, Monster, Monster High
Come on, don't be shy, Monster High
The party never dies
Monster, Monster High
Monster High, Monster, Monster High
Freaky, chic 'n' fly, Monster High
Where student bodies lie
My hair started to catch fire as did my tails before I approached Frankie.
(Me.)
Ay, Frankie's got me fallin' apart, uh
Frankie and I dance together before giving each other a quick kiss, we both break away with a blush before I launch Draculaura while the girl lands on my shoulders before catching her like a princess making us both laugh.
Uhh, Draculaura's stealin' my heart, heart
The girl and I gave each other a quick hug before quickly going over to Clawdeen to start dancing together. The vampire girl seeing me smile happily made her heart ache as she remembered my necklace.
(Me.)
Clawdeen Wolf ya make me howl at the Moon
(Clawdeen.)
(Awooooo!)
The girl blushed in embarrassment as she couldn't contain her howl but then she saw that I smiled before hugging her before starting to do a marine dance.
Lagoona, you're the finest fish in this lagoon, ah
Without realizing it, Lagoona, Gil, Manny, Heath, Clawd, Deuce and Spectra were watching with a smile. They had arrived when I began to sing.
Cleo de Nile, you're so beguile
Even though you act so vile (Oh!)
Cleo and I performed an Egyptian dance with one before pulling away with a smile as my eyes glowed a minty green.
And Deuce has stone cold style
I started to dance to my rhythm while the girls followed me.
These are my boos, my skeleton crew
A little strange, but so are you
Don't you wanna be a Monster too?
Quickly Draculaura, Clawdeen and I started performing tricks leaving Cleo and Frankie dancing in front of the camera.
(Cleo and Frankie.)
Ohh, freaky just got fabulous
Everybody wants a piece of you
Best eyes, best smile, let's be realistic
Most characteristic, most hip horrific
Clawdeen and I started to do a trick until we were next to the Stein girl and the Egyptian girl, however Draculaura started to do a trick until taking a big leap to land in Cleo and Frankie's arms.
A sinister style, mystery with a smile
You're drop-dead gorgeous
Drop-dead gorgeous
Draculaura jumped down with a somersault before being caught by me and Clawdeen, by accident we both hadn't prepared ourselves enough and from the sudden weight we were both close to each other almost as if we were going to kiss. That caused both of us to turn red before coming to our senses and continuing with the routine.
High school gives me the creeps
But when I'm with my peeps
You can't ignore us
This is where the ghoul kids rule
Frankie didn't understand why, she had clearly seen that it was an accident but, seeing me so close to kissing Clawdeen. Because it caused the girl discomfort and an impulse to want to separate me from the werewolf girl? Frankie ignored him believing that it was nothing before we all started to sing and keep dancing.
(Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Cleo, and Me.)
Monster, Monster High
Monster High, Monster, Monster High
Come on, don't be shy, Monster High
The party never dies
Ghoulia had a huge smile, just like our friends when they saw us dance, but there were two people who saw everything differently.
Monster, Monster High
Monster High, Monster, Monster High
Freaky, chic 'n' fly, Monster High
Where student bodies lie
At that point, Clawdeen started running to perform a trick followed by Frankie.
(Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Cleo, and Me.)
M-O-N-S-T-E-R
Monsters, monsters so bizarre
M-O-N-S-T-E-R
Monsters, monsters yes we are!
Draculaura and I were next before landing on the girl's shoulders, I had to use my air magic to land and stay in the air to avoid damage from my weight.
M-O-N-S-T-E-R
Monsters, monsters so bizarre
M-O-N-S-T-E-R
Monsters, monsters yes we are!
Cleo closed her eyes letting her body break free. Slowly the girl began to perform her trick while Ghoulia recorded everything. The Egyptian girl's choreography was refined and delicate as she continued to perform tricks.
(Monster, Monster high)
(Monster High, Monster, Monster High)
(Come on, don't be shy, Monster High)
(The party never dies)
Cleo thought of all of us, of Frankie, of me, of Clawdeen, of Draculaura. Slowly the girl's heart began to beat faster before she took a big leap. In slow motion the girl was doing quick pirouettes and spins before falling delicately onto Draculaura's and mine shoulders.
Monster, Monster High
Monster High, Monster, Monster High
Freaky, chic 'n' fly, Monster High
Where student bodies lie
The vampire girl, Cleo, and I somersaulted before beginning to dance in sync with Frankie and Clawdeen before performing one last trick in sync.
We've got spirits, yes we do
We've got spirits, how 'bout you?
We've got spirits, yes we do
We've got spirits, how 'bout you?
The girls and I landed in front of Ghoulia before looking at the girl directly into the camera while our eyes glowed as lightning struck the spot making us grin and show our fangs.
Knock 'em dead!
When Ghoulia turned off the camera, suddenly the lights came back while the girls and I were tired but also worried.
"Ghoulia, did you record everything?" Cleo asked with concern. Suddenly we heard the zombie girl speak before typing something on her computer, although I didn't understand it, I could see that the girls were happy.
"What, what did he say?" I asked with concern but then I saw Draculaura scream with happiness.
"She said that he recorded everything and is already uploading it to the web!!." The girl yelled making us all squeal in happiness before hugging each other but then we heard cheers and cheers before seeing our friends approach.
"Congratulations guys. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to go to dark beach." Clawd said with a smile while Draculaura was very surprised.
"Clawd, how long have you been seeing us?" The vampire girl asked with surprise, making her boyfriend laugh.
"Since Benja started singing. By the way, dude that was amazing, you're definitely a very good cheerleader." Clawd said with a smile but then we heard laughter before we saw Heath and Manny.
"Yes Benja, you look very good in that suit. Why don't you wear a skirt?" Heath asked laughing but that annoyed my friends.
"Yeah Benja, maybe you should even do some makeup and paint your nails, you'd look good when you try to save the city soon, if your cheerleading practice doesn't stop you." Manny said with a smile making Heath laugh even more. Cleo was going to speak but then we saw Clawdeen walk over before grabbing Manny's shirt tight.
"You think making fun of my friend just because he's rehearsing with us is funny, huh? Well, if you make fun of him then you're messing with someone in my family, and no one messes with my family." Clawdeen said seriously before giving Manny a venomous look. That scared the Minotaur boy a lot.
"Clawdeen, we're just kidding because we think Benja looks funny." Heath said fearfully but that made Clawdeen even angrier.
"Oh yeah? Well, what does it matter if Benja wears a skirt, or what does it matter if he's with us. He helps us get to where we want to be and works hard to get there, too. If he's going to wear a suit like mine, the It would look just as cute as the outfit I made for her." the girl said with her but she shook her head realizing what she said before looking coldly at the two monsters.
"I won't do it again. If I ever see Benja laughed at in front of me again, I'm going to make sure you two have to eat your soup meal after I break both of your jaws." Clawdeen said coldly causing the two monsters to freak out.
"Yes, we're very sorry. We're leaving now." Manny said before quickly running off with Heath. The girl turned only to see that I was slightly blushing, Clawd and Draculaura had a smile just like the others and Frankie was somewhat worried.
"Umm, sorry guys, I have things to do. I'll see you later." Clawdeen said before running off to the bathroom before looking at her reflection in the mirror.
"What's wrong with me? I mean, yes, they had the right to talk about Benja that way, I worked hard on that suit that he wore. It made him look cute, cute." Clawdeen realized what he said and started throwing water in his face.
"Meow, it seems the wolf girl has a crush." Clawdeen got angry hearing that voice and turned around only to see Toralei coming out of one of the bathrooms.
"Don't you have a litter box to go dirty now, Toralei?" Clawdeen asked angrily while the catgirl pretended to be offended.
"Oh Clawdeen. I'm just stating the obvious, I mean, didn't you hear yourself? You kept saying how cute Benja is, not to mention how nervous you are. Am I lying when you say you like him?" Toralei asked with a smile, quieting the werewolf girl.
"We're just friends, besides. He's already with Frankie." Said the girl with some nerves. Clawdeen didn't understand, but mentioning my relationship with the Stein girl caused a little uneasy feeling in her heart.
"Oh sure, they're friends. Let's see how long you can last that lie." Toralei said with a smile before walking off leaving Clawdeen alone.
Clawdeen looked at her reflection in the mirror for a moment. The girl couldn't understand what was happening, she was aware that our friendship was all she could feel but. What if Toralei was right? Internally the girl was angry thinking that for the first time the catgirl was right but this also worried her.
"Ugh, she's just playing with you, Clawdeen. Calm down already." The werewolf girl said with annoyance before taking her bag to go to the locker room before going to class.
Multiple police cars were outside a jewelry store in Metropolis. There were a large number of reporters and citizens watching the scene while the officers tried to break some roots that covered the place. Inside the jewelry store, someone would normally expect a robbery or robbery, but it was completely different.
Selina was pacing up and down, Doris was playing with Leslie and Carol, Pam was sitting playing on a computer, and Harleen was trying on the place's necklaces and earrings.
"I don't get it. This doesn't make sense. Everything is connected, we steal, they come, we laugh and fight, then we go to jail and then we have a date with our boyfriend. Where is my magician?" Selina asked with concern as Carol sighed.
"I asked the same thing. Benja and I had a date this Sunday, he and I were going to the woods to have a picnic before going to see a movie together." the girl said with concern but then they saw Doris stand up.
"That nerd owes me an explanation when I find him. We were both going to go train and have ice cream together and that idiot never showed up, ugh. He owes me a good one when I see him again." Doris said angrily making Harleen laugh.
"Wow, Doris calm down. Benja must have had something to do, I hope you don't think of crushing my pudding with your thighs as the last date you two went on." Harleen said in a mocking tone causing the redheaded girl to turn red as a tomato.
"That only happened by accident when we were at the beach and I got scared!!." The girl yelled with a completely red face but that made Harleen laugh harder.
"Benja also has problems with me. He's already missing his guitar lessons a lot, he's my boyfriend but that doesn't mean he'll get a discount for missing so much." Leslie said seriously. But deep down, the girl was also worried.
"Benja promised me that Kazuko, Yukie, he and I would go to the mountains to see the scenery for our anniversary but he never made it to the forest." Pam said with concern making Selina serious.
"I think certain people owe us an explanation. Leave the little jewels, there's no point in stealing them if those heroes won't come." Selina said making Harleen drop the jewelry before getting into a car with all her gear before driving off but Pam was feeling nervous.
"Umm, Momoyo knows that Benja isn't here right?" The girl asked fearfully. That made all the girls feel a chill.
"No, she, Kazuko, and Yakie went on a trip to visit Yamato and the others in Japan. But if she ever finds out about this, God help us." Selina said fearfully as they all went to a building.
The girls were very worried. Zatanna barely had the strength to hold a fork to eat her breakfast. Giovanni had gone to the trouble of making the girls breakfast before he left because the man had a show in Ontario and the man didn't want to be late.
"Diana. Did you communicate with Tatsu and Barbi?" Jessica asked worriedly looking at the Amazon warrior.
"Yes. They say they'll be here soon, and I asked them not to talk about this situation to Momoyo, Kazuko and Yakie, I don't want them to be scared. By the way, zatanna, where is the mystical object that your father told us to give us?" Will you be able to help find Benja?" The amazon warrior asked curiously looking at the magical girl.
"He said we should go to his room after breakfast. I just hope it works out." The magical girl said but then they heard the door crash before seeing Doris walk in with the rest of her team.
"Doris, I hope you have money to pay for that door!!." The magical girl yelled but then everyone froze as the redheaded girl split the door in half while Pam grew roots to block the exit.
"Very good girls. Talk, where is Benja?" Selina asked coldly causing the girls to tense up.
"He is training." Barbara said with a nervous smile but then they saw Leslie bang on the table in anger.
"I don't think so, babs. We cross the school soccer field and Benja isn't there, neither in the rec club nor in the gym. Where's my cupcake?" Harleen asked seriously making Diana sigh in defeat.
"We'll tell you everything. Please take a seat, this will be long." The Amazon warrior said as the villainesses took their seats.
Frankie was distraught and uncomfortable. Throughout the day, the words Clawdeen spoke made her feel strange at every turn. At lunch, in class, at recess. There was not a single moment of the day that she did not stop thinking about the words of her best friend.
Now it was time to go home. Ghoulia was on the stairs as usual with her computer while the girls and I gathered around her.
"Okay Ghoulia, can you show us how many views our video already has, probably half a million." Cleo said confidently but when we saw the video we were petrified. We only had five visits.
"Five views!? But, I thought the video was going to be perfect." I said surprised but then Cleo noticed something.
"Well at least the whole team watched the video to see that there are no bugs." Cleo said with relief but then Draculaura noticed something.
"Oh wait, I haven't seen it yet." That statement made us all look at the girl in surprise, making Draculaura nervous.
"What? These claws are not going to paint themselves." Said the vampire girl with some nerves making us sigh.
"Come on team, there's no need to get depressed. Tomorrow we will surely have more visitors to go to the dark beach." I said smiling making the girls smile.
"It's true. Don't give up girls, we can do it, we have fought to get here and all our efforts will pay off." Said the Egyptian girl with a smile making us smile.
"Alright, let's go home and rest. Tomorrow will be another day and it will surely be an amazing day as well." Draculaura said with a smile as we all left. We were about to go to the vampire girl's car since she normally took us home but Frankie stopped me.
"Benja, do you mind if we walk today? I want to talk about something with you." Said the girl making her look at everything with concern.
"Umm yes, okay. I'll see you tomorrow Draculaura." I said looking at the vampire girl.
"Okay, see you tomorrow little brother." the girl said before leaving as Frankie and I walked away.
"Frankie, what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask fearfully. The girl clenched her fists before sighing to relax as the girl thought through her question.
"Benja. How much do you love me?" That question took me by surprise as we both stopped before staring at each other.
"How much do you love me? I want to know how much love you feel for me." Said the girl looking into my eyes.
"Frankie. I love you very much, you are a monster that I love very much." I said in surprise but Frankie squeezed his arms tightly.
"I want you to be completely honest. Promise me that you will never leave me and you will always love me." The girl said nervously making me hug the girl.
"I promise Frankie. I will never abandon you, I will always love you no matter what happens and I will never stop doing it. You are an incredible monster, you were always there for me supporting me and you never abandoned me even in difficult moments. I love you Frankie, I will never leave you." I said with a smile making the girl hug me with a smile as she felt her heart much better now.
"I love you too, Benja. And I promise that I will never leave you either and I will always love you." The girl said with a smile as we both left the place. But we never noticed that Clawdeen had heard everything. The wolf girl started to walk away but she didn't understand why, but hearing me and Frankie made her heart feel strange.
The night arrives. Everyone was sleeping peacefully except me, I was right now tossing and turning on Frankie's chair while breaking into a cold sweat.
In my dreams.
Everything around me was chaos. The school was destroyed, on the floor were all my friends in hero costumes but the most heartbreaking thing for me was that Draculaura was in my arms completely badly injured with blood on her head.
I looked ahead only to see some shadows in front of me that didn't move at all. But I couldn't recognize any of those people because they were shadows, and their sizes and shapes weren't like Waps's friends or some villain that I could recognize.
"What do you want from me!!." I screamed desperately but then I saw a sword in the hand of one of the people.
"Home." Suddenly the person lunged at me and I screamed in pain as one of my tails was severed.
Slowly the shadows advanced to where I am while I tried to get up. I tried to throw a fireball but it could only create sparks, I could clearly feel my magic going away.
I tried to defend myself but was quickly knocked down before being pinned while one of the people held my tails tightly.
"Normal." said one of the shadows before looking me square in the eye.
I screamed heartbreakingly as my tails were ripped off. I felt all my magic, energy and blood leave my entire body before falling to the ground in agony.
I woke up screaming before touching my whole body and looking at my tails. I was relieved that he was okay. At that moment I saw the lights come on and saw Viktor, Viveka and Frankie coming down worriedly, even Frankie's father was holding a shotgun.
"Benja. Are you okay?" The girl asked fearfully before approaching to take my hands while my breathing was still not fully controlled.
"Voltage, young man, what happened?" Viveka asked with concern but then they saw me rush out of the house.
"Benja wait!!" Frankie yelled but then everyone saw me fly at high speed into the city. Everyone saw this with concern but the most worried was the Stein girl.
I started to fly all over the city looking for something that was happening but nothing happened, I quickly flew to Draculaura's house to see if the girl was okay, my body felt much better seeing the girl completely fine, then I flew to Cleo's case and everything was normal. After flying around I decided to stop at the Monster High bell.
"There's no way. That can't be a dream." I said in horror touching my kitsune tails. The dream had been so real that I could even feel my tails being brutally ripped off.
"I need help." I whispered in fear before calling someone.
"Hello who speaks?." Isi asked curiously from the other end but I could hear that her voice seemed exhausted.
"Isi, it's me. I need to see you, please. It's urgent." I said afraid. That made the girl worry seeing me so tense.
"Benja, is everything okay? I notice you're very tense, is everything okay?" The girl asked with concern as I got up before starting to pace back and forth.
"Please, I need to talk to you. I'm begging you, it's very important." I said afraid. That worried the girl even more.
"Okay, I'll send you the location of my house." The girl said as we both ended the call.
The minutes passed and I arrived at Isi's house, luckily the house was very close to Frankie's house but I didn't want to scare the Stein girl with my vision so I decided to go quickly to the monster girl's house.
"Benja, come in. I was waiting for you." Isi said with concern as I entered. The house I could notice that it was decorated in an exotic and extravagant way with multiple portraits, dream catchers and family photos. I noticed that in the living room there was a fire pit and a couple of sofas surrounding the fire.
"Isi, forgive me but. I had a horrible nightmare, I dreamed that Monster High was in ruins, all my friends were on the ground but, Draculaura was in my arms, and I. I didn't feel her pulse, she was dead in my arms. Then some shadows appeared and ripped off my tails. I felt that everything was real, it was not a simple dream." I said with tears that surprised the girl.
"If you say that wasn't a dream then it must have been something else. Come with me." Isi said before we went to a ledge. The girl took some jars and a large feather before taking me to the campfire that was in the place.
"To find out what is happening, we must first cast a spell to open your mind and see the dream together. First, we must remain calm or the spell will disappear and the dream will be lost, the feather will determine everything. If it is golden, it is a dream If it's silver then it's a nightmare, but if it turns emerald green then it's a vision." Said Isi as the girl made a circle of salt on the ground around me.
"Very good Benja. Stay calm, I need you to open your mind and keep it blank. I know you don't want to experience that dream again, but you have nothing to fear. Once we know what is happening, everything will end." the girl said before taking my hands to calm me down.
"Okay. I'll try." I said fearfully as the girl got behind me.
"Okay, Benja. Relax your mind and body, think about that dream." Isi said before smearing bone powder on her hand. The girl put her hand on my head while her palm began to glow a turquoise green. I closed my eyes to remember the dream.
Slowly everything around us began to change as a strong breeze hit the place causing some things to fall, the fire in the campfire began to change to a turquoise color. Isi looked at everything and slowly the room disappeared as if reality was being distorted.
"You can Benja, I'm with you. Keep calm." Isi said with concern looking at me. I slowly began to calm down and reality began to settle but now the girl was disturbed seeing all the chaos in my nightmare but especially now in the shadows.
"Who are they? What do they want from me?" I asked with fear but then I felt that Isi hugged me to relax.
"I'll try to improve the shadows. Don't move." Isi said with concern. I slowly opened my eyes to see and noticed that one of the shadows seemed to change.
Blue hair that I recognized, caramel skin, beautiful blue eyes, armor that covered his body. I was horrified what was now in front of me, holding a sword and one of my tails, Diana was looking at me coldly as she bled me to death.
"Diana!!." I screamed in horror causing everything to suddenly return to normal as the circle of salt broke completely and the fire went out.
"She. Perhaps." My heart was on the verge of breaking. My eyes hadn't deceived me, the Amazon warrior had cut off one of my tails but I didn't know who the other shadows were.
"Benja relax. Everything is fine, it was just a nightmare, the feather is still normal so we can't tell if it was a dream, nightmare or vision. But what you saw might not be true." Isi said worriedly holding my hand while I felt my heart break.
"How are you so sure, Isi?" I asked fearfully making the girl smile.
"This is an old ritual in my family. We stopped using it because we thought it was an obsolete and complicated method to perform. I can see the future, remember? And none of my visions have seen anything like this until now." Isi said with a smile making me sigh before getting up slowly.
"Maybe you're right and this was nothing more than a horrible nightmare but. With or without that nightmare, I must sit on protecting the people I love. Forgive me for bothering you with this." I said embarrassed making the girl laugh.
"Don't worry Benja, I like to help my friends. Come, I'll walk you to the door." The girl said before walking me to the door. After I left the girl she turned around only to see a turquoise glow.
"Impossible." The girl ran into the living room only to be horrified. On the ground where the feather was, she noticed that the feather was now emerald green.
"It was. A vision, I have to tell Benja soon." Said the girl with fear looking at the feather on the ground.
"And then Benja flew away, I didn't know what he was going to do but when he came back he was even calmer, but I could see that clearly he was very scared." Frankie said with concern looking at his friends.
The day began. Frankie had gotten up early to meet Cleo, Draculaura, Abbey, Clawdeen, Rochelle, and Lagoona at my locker to talk.
"How horrible. He must have been very scared, what do you think he dreamed of?" Lagoona asked with concern, looking at her friends.
"It must have been something horrible for him to have flown off and been checking out the town and even coming to see us." Cleo said with concern but Frankie shook her head.
"I don't know exactly what he was dreaming. When he came back he only told me that he had a nightmare and went to see if the city was safe. He worries me a lot." Frankie said with concern but then they noticed Abbey crossing her arms over her.
"Benja has an excess of responsibility, like my cousin Christopher. He is constantly taking care of the herds in the mountains. That Kitsune is going through the same situation, he spends his time taking care of us, the city and trying to lead a life as a teenager normal." Abbey said seriously looking at my friends.
"Abbey is right. Benja has many responsibilities due to the life he has in Metropolis, I know he is a responsible person and loves to help people but even things have limits. Maybe he had that nightmare thinking that the city was destroyed." The gargoyle girl said seriously looking at Frankie.
"By the way, where is Benja?" Draculaura asked with concern but then everyone noticed that Frankie was very tense.
"He got up early, my mom said that he woke up and directly went to the city to protect the streets." The Stein girl said with concern seeing that all the girls became serious.
"That's what Rochelle and Abbey are talking about, Frankie. Benja is so focused on protecting us that in the end everyone is going to depend on him for even minor things. He's not even enjoying his monster life like we are." Clawdeen said with concern making Frankie nervous.
"It's decided. The life of a hero and a teenager is over, it's time to give Benja a break and give him a life as a monster like us." Draculaura said seriously making everyone look at each other.
"But, Benja is fine." Frankie was going to continue talking but the girls became serious.
"Frankie, darling let me tell you this. Benja would you like breakfast today?" Cleo asked with a raised eyebrow making Frankie even more nervous.
"Well, not because he left in a hurry." The girl said nervously but that annoyed Draculaura.
"That's what we're talking about, Frankie. Think about it, Benja spends all his days training and saving the city, I'm proud that he does those things because it's the right thing to do. But it sucks not enjoying life." The vampire girl said seriously making Clawdeen nod.
"That's right, Frankie. Just think about it, Christmas, Benja will be saving the town from thieves, New Year's, Benja will most likely be rescuing people from a fire, your birthday, Benja will possibly be saving the life of a silly cat. Sis, He is our hero but also our friend, and what he does is not right." Clawdeen said with concern.
"He is constantly saving lives and fighting crime that he doesn't even have time for himself. When he least realizes it, he may be too weak to enjoy life and the last thing he will remember is his days saving people, and although it pains me to say it, then no one will remember it." Lagoona said touching his arm.
"He is our hero. But he can't save himself, and we can. We must make him change and think that his life is not only to save the world, but also to live life, to experience, to love, to hate, to cry, to laugh He must live." Rochelle said with a smile looking at Frankie.
Frankie felt a sting in her heart. The words of the girls had resonated strongly in her head and memories came to her mind, there were no memories in which she and I were having fun doing something, only battles and difficult moments.
"I am a horror girlfriend. I am neglecting Benja, one day I will lose him and. I will not be able to live my life together with him." said the girl with tears but then she was hugged by all her friends.
"It's not your fault friend. We are going to change Benja's life from now on, when he comes back maybe he will help me create clothes." Clawdeen said with a smile making Draculaura laugh.
"And I'll take Benja to the mall for clothes, he's cute and all, but those clothes are very old-fashioned, they must look fashionable and we'll also have a lot of fun, eat, play games and watch all the movies from Elissabat ad nauseam. " Said the vampire girl with a giggle making everyone laugh.
"Benja maybe she can start coming to my French club, you never know when you'll need to learn a new language." Rochelle said with a smile making lagoona nod.
"The swimming club will be entering a championship soon, we could use a hand and nine tails to complete the team." The girl said with a smile looking at the girls.
"I can teach Benja how to fight a Yak. They get aggressive when it comes to getting some fur." Abbey said with a smile. That petrified the girls but then they all noticed Cleo laughing.
"Girls these are beautiful ideas but remember this. The dark beach camp has everything and I need it to relax a stressed heroic monster, if we take Benja there he will be calm. Not to mention he is part of our team so he won't be able to stand against." Said the Egyptian girl with a smile making everyone smile.
"That's right, we can take Benja to the dark beach camp so he can relax. By the way, how many views do you think our video will get?" Draculaura asked with a smile. Everyone looked at their cell phones and my team was petrified to see that the video only had 18 views.
"Ugh, at this rate we'll have a million hits in, a million years." Clawdeen said sadly before lowering her arms.
"Come on girls, don't be discouraged, this is not the time to be sad, maybe you still have a chance." Lagoona said with a smile catching the attention of the girls.
"How? Registration ends in three hours and getting a million hits in that time is impossible." Draculaura said sadly but then they saw Rochelle smile.
"All is not lost. They still have an ace up their sleeve. And she is the best and fastest student in this school in coming up with solutions." The girl said with a smile but that confused Frankie.
"I don't think Gigi can grant that wish, isn't that at her spell limit?" asked the Stein girl but that made the girls fall to the ground like in an anime.
"No girls, I mean Ghoulia. She can help us, she's a master of technology." the gargoyle girl making Frankie laugh sheepishly.
"Excellent, she should be in the dining room, come on girls, time is running out." Cleo said before everyone quickly went to the dining room.
My team and Selina's team were now in front of the door to Giovanni's room. Zatanna slowly opened the door and the girls were amazed by the large number of magical items in the place.
"Don't touch anything. Many of these items are cursed, Selina, get your hands off that jade ring." The magical girl said seriously while Selina rolled her eyes before placing the ring in her place.
"It must be this. I wonder what it is." Diana said curiously as they all looked at a box on Giovanni's bed. Zatanna using magic opened the box and inside, there was a silver skull with a ribbon on its head.
"What could this be?." Kara asked as zatanna took the item. When the magical girl took the item suddenly the box opened and a hologram appeared in the room, a hologram of her father.
"Zatanna, if you're looking at this, it's because you found perhaps one of the strangest and most unique objects I've ever seen in my life. Years ago, on our trip to Egypt, the person who hired us offered a camel tour of the desert to enjoy the scenery. But I never thought I would find something like this in my life."
"I decided to check what was in front of me, and it turned out to be that silver skull. At first I didn't understand and when I was about to ask about it, I could feel a strange sensation from that skull. As if it were not from this world. After our concert, I decided to study the object to understand where it originated from."
"I spent days locked up but I never managed to find the answer. So I met at the magic congress to talk to the greatest magicians in the universe. And what they told me was shocking. It turns out that this object is actually a device from another dimension very different from ours."
"When I asked why this object was in our world. The wizards from the council told me about an inexplicable event, an event that happened years ago. They talked about a strange magic that had momentarily torn the worlds apart, but it was sudden because no one noticed it. but they do."
"They told me that this object was part of that anomaly and that it fell on our earth, they thought it was lost and would never be found until I found it and brought it before them. They told me that this object was bathed in the disturbance of our realities and now has enough power that if manipulated correctly it can easily allow crossing from one dimension to another."
"In the box you will find what you need for the trip. But I advise you this, zatanna. The object now in your hands can only make two trips, dimensional magic is very delicate but at the same time devastating, capable of deteriorating any object with ease, The only reason this item hasn't been destroyed is because of a magic that posed inside."
"Forgive me for not telling you this sooner, zatanna. But now you know, be very careful. Good luck finding Benja, darling. I love you." Giovanni said when the hologram disappeared.
Everyone was petrified by the statement. Zatanna looked at the item in her hands before closing her eyes and opening them determinedly.
"We are going to get Benja back, whatever the cost." Zatanna said seriously. They all nodded silently before leaving the room. Zatanna looked at his father's room before closing it.
The girls were now in the dining room. Fortunately Ghoulia was in the place with her computer, after telling her what happened the zombie girl started to write something. Unfortunately the girls were worried because an hour had already passed and Ghoulia was still writing.
"Ghoulia, are you missing a lot?" Clawdeen asked with concern but then they all saw the girl press one last button before speaking and smiling. What the girl said surprised everyone.
"You're saying that you just posted our video on the main Frighttube screen for everyone to see but why did you take so long?" Frankie asked in surprise but then they were shocked by what Ghoulia was saying now.
"You were modifying the video so that each person who saw it would automatically be sent to more people. Ghoulia, you are a genius!!." Lagoona yelled with a smile while the zombie girl beamed with pride.
Slowly, all the cell phones in the school began to receive our video. Computers, Icoffin, tablets, it didn't matter what it was, the video of it was spreading all over Monster High even in New Salem. No monster was missing from the video and they liked it.
"Look at the visitors. We're going to make it!!" Draculaura yelled with a smile. The visitors were rapidly increasing and slowly the monsters from the school were entering the dining room to watch while the girls were amazed at how the visitors were increasing.
"We're almost there. Just a little more." Frankie said with a smile. Visits had reached nine hundred and ninety-nine and counting. Everyone was about to scream with excitement thinking they were going to make it but suddenly my friends froze, feeling their hearts stop when suddenly a skull appeared on Ghoulia's computer.
"Why did it stop?" Clawdeen asked fearfully as Ghoulia spoke. What the zombie girl said horrified everyone.
"You don't know!! Ghoulia please do something!!." Cleo screamed in fear. The zombie girl nodded before starting to type on her computer to try to solve the problem.
"Guys. This is shocking!!" The girls turned to see Spectra.
"Spectra, now is not the time. We are about to hit a million views on Frighttube but we don't know what happened and it suddenly froze." Clawdeen said with concern as Ghoulia continued to work.
"That's what I want to talk to you about. The Frighttube page collapsed." Spectra said looking at the girls. That disturbed everyone.
"That means no one will be able to see the video. Quick Ghoulia, do something!!." Clawdeen yelled in fear as the zombie girl struggled to repair the web page.
"Go, go, go Ghoulia!!" Everyone started supporting the zombie girl as she struggled to repair the website as fast as possible.
"Ten minutes. Come on Ghoulia, quick!!" Cleo yelled in fear as the girl struggled to fix the problem. But suddenly the zombie girl screamed before grabbing her hand, that scared everyone.
"A sprain!!." Draculaura yelled but then they all watched as Ghoulia continued to fix the mistake as best she could.
The zombie girl began to sweat from her nerves. Everyone continued to support the zombie girl while Ghoulia did her best to finish fixing the mistake. But to everyone's terror, the three o'clock bell rang throughout the school causing Ghoulia to freeze up seeing that she failed.
"The three o'clock bell. We missed." Clawdeen said sadly as Abbey touched Ghoulia's hand to give it some ice for the sprain.
"Girls, Ghoulia. I want you to know that it doesn't matter if we don't go to dark beach this year, there will always be next year. Also, I'm so proud of all of you, you showed me that I can keep going and never give up, no matter if we don't go , It was worth the effort." Cleo said with a smile looking at the girls.
"Cleo, look at this!!." They all turned to see Deuce.
"They are all over the news. Frighttube collapsed because of a video that was flooded with views very quickly, it's your video!!." Cleo's boyfriend yelled causing everyone to be petrified. Ghoulia quickly typed on the computer, and the girls were amazed to see the video hit ten million views.
"Ten million views!!. That breaks the record in Frighttube history." Draculaura said with a huge smile while Cleo was now hyperventilating with nerves.
"That means, we go in?" The girl asked fearfully. At that moment a notification came to her cell phone, Cleo decided not to look and give the cell phone to Frankie.
"Dear Cleo The Nile. I am pleased to announce that you and Monster High School have been accepted to attend the Dark Beach Cheerleading Camp!!." Everyone squealed with happiness at what Frankie read.
"Nothing. I found nothing." I said quietly. Throughout the day I was looking at every part of the city in search of a threat or even something from Bane or Waps but nothing. The city was completely safe.
"Benja." I turned only to see Clawdeen. The werewolf girl and I looked at each other for a moment but I was nervous, in my mind there was still the image of her on the ground.
"Where were you? What were you doing?" Clawdeen asked with seriousness but concern at the same time.
"It's a long story, can we talk about it later?" I asked with my head down. Clawdeen got upset hearing that and took a whistle out of her pocket, the girl blew it causing me to scream in pain when I heard a loud squeal.
"No. We'll talk about it right now, tell me what's wrong with you? Why are you so scared, what's making you so nervous?" The girl asked with concern making me sigh in defeat.
"Last night. I dreamed that Monster High was destroyed, I dreamed of all of you on the ground dead, Draculaura was dead in my arms. Some shadows attacked me, and one of those shadows was Diana." I said through tears which shocked Clawdeen.
"I dreamed that she cut off my tail and another shadow ripped off all my tails. I went to look for Isi that night to please help me, she told me that it was just a nightmare but it's not true. That was not a nightmare, so I was looking all over the city for some Gotham villain or Waps. Because I am afraid, I am afraid of failing, and that everyone will die because of me." I said with a broken voice.
Clawdeen didn't hesitate and hugged me tightly causing me to accept the gesture before starting to cry out of fear. The girl only hugged me tighter before gently stroking my back.
"Benja. You can't continue with this anymore." That statement caught my attention and made me look at the girl.
"What? But what are you talking about?" I asked with tears while the girl wiped my tears.
"I'm talking about this. Benja, we appreciate what you do for us, we can't be more than grateful for everything you do and have done for every monster and human. But this can't go on like this anymore, look at you. You're so scared by a nightmare , so much so that you flew all over the city thinking that something or someone is hiding waiting for a moment to attack."
"You've been so involved in this that you can't tell a dream from a nightmare anymore. I know you love being a hero and Draculaura is proud of what you do but there must be a brake on this. Tell me, in Metropolis. Have you been to a party before? ?. Go shopping or have fun?." Clawdeen asked with concern causing me to stay silent.
"Well. There are times when I'm with zatanna in magic shows, I go with Kara to concerts when there's nothing to do. Then I train with Diana and Tatsu, study with Karen and Barbara." I slowly fell silent as I saw Clawdeen serious.
"And tell me, there are moments. When do they occur?" The girl asked with her arms crossed making me nervous.
"Once every two or three weeks." I said nervously making the girl sigh.
"Benja, now you see? It's okay to lead a quiet teenage life like you're doing, but what about the fun? The laughs and the good times? I know you've had good times in Metropolis but I feel like you haven't. there are many and that you spend all your time saving the world."
"When you get old. Tell me, have you lived a good life? Have you done things you've always wanted? I saw you at Tash's concert and you were very happy, even when you sang here you said you've never felt so happy before. It may have good memories of your life as a hero, but what about your life as a teenager? Your current life? Clawdeen asked looking into my eyes.
"Benja. You are my friend, part of my family. And like all my friends, I care about you, I don't want you to waste your life being nothing more than a hero helping people at every moment for every tiny crime. I want you to be happy If not, you can do it for yourself. Do it for me, please." the girl said before taking my hands.
Everything went silent, now he was lost in Clawdeen's gaze. His eyes showed clear concern and fear when he saw me. I slowly started to think about my whole life and the things I did. I could only remember my adventures, my battles, but there were almost no memories of happy days. It was all training and fighting crime.
"Clawdeen me. I had no idea about this." I said surprised looking at the girl.
"Every change has a first step, Benja. I'm not asking you to stop being a hero, I want you to be happy and live your life to the fullest. And we will be your heroes now." The girl said before taking my mask before putting it away.
"But how will they help me?" I asked curiously making the girl smile even more.
"Don't you know? We were accepted on the dark beach, our video reached ten million views, didn't you know?" The girl asked with a smile. That statement surprised me a lot and I looked at my Icoffin with shock. The video right now had a total of fifteen million views.
"See what I mean. It's time to change your life for something even better. And I know where to start, let's go to the mall. Let's go get your clothes to go to the beach, I heard that the weather is spectacular there and wonderful." Clawdeen said with a smile looking at me.
"But, I already have clothes." I said looking at the girl but was surprised when Clawdeen took me by the hand and dragged me out of the school.
"I'm not talking about common and ordinary clothes. Benja, it's time to give a new color to your way of dressing, come on!!." The girl yelled as we both went to the mall. But we never noticed that some monsters had seen everything.
"Clawdeen. She took Benja?" Frankie asked in a daze. The Stein girl had gone looking for Clawdeen to tell her that everyone was going to celebrate but she was petrified to see her best friend leave her.
"Maybe they went looking for something. Relax Frankie, everything will be fine. You have to stay calm." The girl said before leaving back to the dining room. She didn't know why, but just imagine seeing me leaving with Clawdeen caused a great pang in Frankie's heart but above all it made her feel a very strange sensation. Maybe soon she should talk to Cupid.
"Benja needs to turn the page in her story." Said Isi, the girl was on the stairs with the pen from last night. The monster girl looked at her feather for a moment before putting it away.
"I'm going to talk to him another time. Maybe it's best to give him a break and get him out of these troubles." Isi said with a small smile before leaving the place to go to the dining room.
