## Episode

### Opening Scene

Cleo de Nile wakes up in a cold, dark room, chained to a table with the kidnapper holding a voice changer.

CLEO: What the-

KILLER: Shut up, bitch!

CLEO: Oh my Ra! You-you... Killer!

KILLER: That's right, Cleo! You're one smart ghoul, aren't you?

CLEO: I mean I don't like to toot my own horn but-

KILLER: SILENCE!

CLEO: Okay... What are you going to do to me?

KILLER: Play a game!

The killer then walks over to Cleo with a butcher knife.

CLEO: What if I don't want to play your games?

KILLER: Then you lose!

The killer then plunges the knife into Cleo's abdomen.

CLEO: (screams)

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

Scarah Screams walks along the hallways as the rest of the students stare at her.

STUDENT #1 (MIND): Omg! Jailbird Scarah.

STUDENT #2 (MIND): Obviously she killed Invisi Billy!

SCARAH (V.O.): ***I know it may seem fun to others to hear what others are actually saying about you, but when you actually hear it, it's awful.***

STUDENT #3 (MIND): Fuck, it's black widow Scarah!

SCARAH (V.O.): ***I hate this place! Everyone here is a sneaky bitch!***

Scarah then walks over to a huge crowd of students who are watching a fight between Deuce Gorgon and Clawd Wolf.

SCARAH: Oh, brother... What now?

DEUCE: You are literally the worst friend ever.

CLAWD: Friend? Sorry, prick... but you burned that bridge a long-ass time ago!

Clawd throws a punch at Deuce.

Scarah looks around as the thoughts become very intense.

STUDENT (MIND): Cleo... Catacombs...

SCARAH: What the hell!?

Scarah looks around for the student in her mind, and turns around to see Invisi Billy. She walks over to him as he is impaled by the javalin spear.

SCARAH: (Banshee Scream!)

Frankie Stein walks over.

FRANKIE: Are you okay, Scarah?

Scarah looks over at Invisi Billy, but he disappears.

SCARAH: I-It's nothing, I'm fine!

Frankie stares at Scarah, before Scarah scoots away.

FRANKIE: Hmm....

### Scene 2

Lagoona Blue stands at the coach's office...

COACH: Lagoona, come in! So, has my star swimmer made her decision?

Lagoona walks into the office.

LAGOONA: Yes! And I would like to become captain... But only if Gil co-captains with me.

COACH: I mean, we don't do co-captains on the swim team.

LAGOONA: But what if I can be the captain for the saltwaters, and Gil can be captain of the freshwaters... It seems unfair that I have to tell freshwater monsters what to do!

COACH: Either you become captain, or I'll find someone else.

LAGOONA: I'm sorry... but I will feel guilty if I do this to Gil.

COACH: Fine, suit yourself. Wouldn't be the first, and it definitely wouldn't be the last.

LAGOONA: I'm sorry?

COACH: Your talent... Seems wasteful not to see you in a leadership role.

LAGOONA: But why me... I'm not exactly little miss tell em' what to do and put the lotion in the basket.

COACH: Well, how about we give you a trial day... and if it's really not for you, then you can pass the torch on to someone else.

LAGOONA: Deal!

Frankie Stein, Draculaura and Clawdeen Wolf sit in the library...

FRANKIE: I don't know... that reaction was strange.

CLAWDEEN: Well, Scarah is kinda a weird ghoul.

FRANKIE: Yeah, but this was seriously strange.

DRACULAURA: I don't understand.

FRANKIE: Like maybe she knows something she isn't telling us.

DRACULAURA: Like, maybe she's the killer?

FRANKIE: No! Robecca proved that Spectra and Scarah are innocent.

CLAWDEEN: Yeah... only of being the mystery messenger. And also they could have used a burner phone or something... they can still be guilty.

FRANKIE: True, but I feel like she knows something, and we need to find it.

Frankie then begins to walk to the exit when she gets a text and looks at her iCoffin.

The text reads:

"A ghoul is missing...
I wonder who?"

Clawdeen and Draculaura walk over to Frankie.

FRANKIE: You guys got the message, too.

CLAWDEEN: From our good old friend.

FRANKIE: Yes! But who does he have?

DRACULAURA: Lagoona?

FRANKIE: No way! I saw Lagoona this morning going to see the swim coach.

CLAWDEEN: Ghoulia?

DRACULAURA: Nah! She was in bio this morning.

FRANKIE: Then who?

DRACULAURA: Shit! Cleo.

The girls storm over to Cleo's mansion, where Ramses de Nile answers the door.

RAMSES: Hello, ghouls! What seems to be the problem?

CLAWDEEN: Is Cleo home?

RAMSES: No, she's at school where you guys should be!

Ramses slams the door.

DRACULAURA: Wow... rude! Maybe if mayor de Nile got laid once in a while, he wouldn't be such an uptight raisin.

CLAWDEEN: (awkwardly) Uh...

FRANKIE: We can't tell him about the messenger.

CLAWDEEN: What if the messenger is the killer, though, and is plotting to kill Cleo next?

FRANKIE: Then we need to find Scarah and solve this mystery by ourselves.

DRACULAURA: Let's go back to school.

The ghouls walk back to Monster High, while Cleo screams in the Catacombs.

CLEO: Help!!!!!

KILLER: Oh! You're not dead yet?

CLEO: Of course I'm not dead yet! I'm fucking immortal.

KILLER: Then this is going to be even more fun than I initially thought.

The killer then picks up a hammer.

KILLER: So, tell me... What happens to a mummy when she reaches her exhaustion point?

CLEO: I mummify until I heal.

KILLER: What fun!

The killer then breaks Cleo's hand.

CLEO: (screams)

KILLER: I've been waiting to do that since I first met you.

CLEO: Then why kill Invisi Billy?

KILLER: THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

Killer slams his fist against the wall, causing Cleo to flinch, arm on the table a few inches away, and then storms out of the room.

### Scene 3

In Headless Headmistress Bloodgood's office...

BLOODGOOD: Fighting! On school premises... I am appalled... disgusted even! Why would you boys feel the need to fight?

DEUCE: Well... I-

BLOODGOOD: I don't care for excuses, Mr. Gorgon! I want you both to apologize to each other.

CLAWD: Well, I'm sorry, Deuce... That you're so insecure about Cleo that-

DEUCE: What the hell are you talking about? Cleo's missing, and so is my iCoffin!

BLOODGOOD: Excuse me?

DEUCE: Cleo's missing, and I can't find her.

CLAWD: Like, for real missing?

DEUCE: Yes!

BLOODGOOD: I'm going to contact mayor de Nile... You boys stay here.

Meanwhile, Cleo wakes up in pain.

CLEO: (scream)

She tries to break free from the chains tying her to the table.

CLEO: C'mon, break, you stupid chain!

She then begins to pull on it instead and breaks free but the killer returns. She then removes the knife that was impeded in her rib cage.

CLEO: (scream) So have you calmed down?

KILLER: Silence, bitch!

CLEO: Oh! Soooo scary...

KILLER: Shut up!

CLEO: What are you going to do, tickle me with that knife again?

KILLER: I said "shut up!"

CLEO: Or what?

The killer walks closer towards Cleo, as she holds the knife down at her side.

KILLER: I just want to hurt you.

CLEO: Why stop at Invisi Billy, right? Also, what the hell is your deal?!

KILLER: So you want to die?

CLEO: Well, anything is better than spending another second with a boring whore like you!

Cleo then kicks the killer into the wall and breaks free from her other chain. She then continues to hold the knife and walks out of the room, discovering she is in the underground Catacombs.

CLEO: Oh my Ra! This place is a fucking maze...

### Scene 4

Frankie, Draculaura and Clawdeen finally find Scarah...

DRACULAURA: There you are!

SCARAH: What do you three want?

FRANKIE: We know that you know something... so please tell us.

SCARAH: It wouldn't matter what I tell you... Your friend seems to think I'm guilty.

Frankie and Draculaura look over at Clawdeen.

CLAWDEEN: I'm sorry, but I don't trust her.

FRANKIE: Clawdeen! This is important to finding Cleo.

SCARAH: Wait, Cleo's missing?

DRACULAURA: Yeah... She's been missing since last night, and no one's heard from her.

SCARAH: Well, you're in luck... Earlier this morning, I heard the thoughts of one of our fellow students and there was something about Cleo in the catacombs... familiar with it?

DRACULAURA: Oh, yes! There are these underground tunnels all throughout New Salem that has existed since the first settlers of the New World.

CLAWDEEN: But I thought that place was a rumor?

DRACULAURA: Only because no one knows how to enter the tunnels.

CLAWDEEN: Then where would the kidnapper have entered to put Cleo?

They look back at Scarah.

SCARAH: I wouldn't know... The killer's thoughts were void. I couldn't make out everything!

FRANKIE: Shit!

Lagoona appears.

LAGOONA: You ghouls would not believe the morning I've had... So the swim coach thinks I'm perfect for leadershi-... What's going on here?

FRANKIE: We're trying to find Cleo.

LAGOONA: So she's actually missing?

FRANKIE: Yes! Wait... Lagoona, how do you know that Cleo's missing?

LAGOONA: Haven't you heard? Deuce told Bloodgood Cleo's missing, and now they're in her office with detectives Clawrk and Dracula.

FRANKIE: Guys, we have to go now and find out who killed Invisi Billy.

LAGOONA: It's too late... There are cops already scoping around the school.

DRACULAURA: Actually, I might know of one place where the Catacombs may exist within the school.

CLAWDEEN: Oh my god... where?

DRACULAURA: Somewhere beneath the school. But there's a problem... The catacombs are an underground maze... Anyone could get lost.

Deuce and Ghoulia Yelps appear.

DEUCE: We want to help find where Cleo is!

FRANKIE: Perfect! Deuce and Ghoulia can help Scarah find Cleo's exact whereabouts while me, Draculaura, Lagoona and Clawdeen look for our mystery kidnapper.

LAGOONA: Actually, I can't help find Cleo... I'm having a trial bases as captain of swim team... But I can ask members of the swim team if they heard of anything!

FRANKIE: It's okay, Lagoona! We can handle it from here.

CLAWDEEN: I guess we're going to end this mystery once and for all.

DRACULAURA: And save Cleo!

### Scene 5

In Bloodgood's office...

RAMSES: What do you mean you don't know where my daughter is?

DRACULA: Ramses, I promise we will find Cleo.

Clawrk Wolf takes Dracula to the side.

CLAWRK: We have no way of knowing where she is.

DRACULA: Then I guess we better start with her friends.

CLAWRK: Then we better hurry up in case Cleo's kidnapper is human... and it won't take long for them to discover what she is.

Bloodgood walks over to Dracula and Clawrk.

BLOODGOOD: Dracula, I need to tell you something important...

At the school pool...

LAGOONA: So guys, I will be your temporary captain, I guess! So let's kick some ass... Go swim!

Gil Webber walks over to Lagoona.

LAGOONA: Gil, I kno-

GIL: No, no, no! I'm not mad that coach wanted you over me...

LAGOONA: Oh, really?

GIL: I'm more betrayed by the fact you lied to me about wanting the position.

LAGOONA: No! You don't understand, the coach guilt tripped me into taking the position, but only on a temporary basis.

GIL: So you don't want it?

LAGOONA: I don't know... I kinda like bossing people around. Now I see why Cleo likes it.

A boy walks past them in the pool.

LAGOONA: Hey, you! No running.

BOY: I'm not.

LAGOONA: ....Keep walking!

The boy walks away.

GIL: So let me get this straight... You don't want the position but you're taking it. Why?

LAGOONA: I don't know if I want to take it. And if I do... Please, don't be mad at me.

GIL: I won't! I just don't get why you had to lie to me.

LAGOONA: I promise it will never ever happen again.

Lagoona kisses Gil.

Back in the Catacombs...

KILLER: I know where you are... Miss de Nile! I will find you!

Cleo hides in another room.

KILLER: Come out, come out wherever you are!...

Cleo covers her mouth and holds the knife in her hand.

KILLER: I can smell your fear.

The killer breaks through the wood, and strangles Cleo from behind.

KILLER: Tag, you're it!

CLEO: (Screams)

Cleo slashes the killer on the arm and moves forward into the Catacombs.

KILLER: You're one slippery little bitch!

### Scene 6

After school, Scarah, Ghoulia and Deuce are in the library, as all three are looking for a book.

DEUCE: So what type of book am I supposed to look for?

SCARAH: It's this big old one. I remember finding it in my freshman year and reading about various Monster High locations. I'm sure the Catacombs are in there somewhere.

GHOULIA: Oh yeah, I remember that book! Though around Invisi Billy's murder, the book disappeared...

DEUCE: Hmm, maybe the killer took it?

GHOULIA: Well, it would make sense...

SCARAH: So, how are we going to find it now?

DEUCE: There must be another way to find where it is...

The three leave the library as Ghoulia notices a hooded individual leaving the Janitor's closet.

GHOULIA: Hey guys, check this out!

DEUCE: It wasn't open when we arrived...

All of them enter and find dusty decorations. Ghoulia accidentally moves one of them, revealing a secret passage.

DEUCE: What the--

GHOULIA: Something tells me this is an entrance to the Catacombs and that the person we saw leaving is the killer.

DEUCE: I'm on it!

SCARAH: No, wait! I'll go. If I get close to him, maybe I can hear his thoughts and know what he's up to.

DEUCE: Uhh, are you sure about this?

GHOULIA: Just promise you'll be safe. If he notices you he might--

SCARAH: Kill me? Yeah. I'll be fine guys...

DEUCE: We're counting on you, Scarah!

GHOULIA: I texted the girls, they're near the Cooking Club. Let's go!

Deuce and Ghoulia run to the Cooking Club, and Scarah tries to follow the killer.

### Final Scene

Meanwhile, Frankie, Clawdeen and Draculaura are waiting for Deuce and Ghoulia.

FRANKIE: Ok guys, they found the Catacombs! Deuce and Ghoulia are on their way.

DRACULAURA: What about Scarah?

CLAWDEEN: Ok, this is all I'm gonna say. Has no one considered that maybe Scarah is lying about the whole Catacombs thing and is throwing us off so she can kill Cleo and get away with her murder for good? No? Just a silly theory of mine that doesn't make sense at all? Ok.

Frankie and Draculaura stare at Clawdeen, when suddenly, Deuce and Ghoulia show up.

DEUCE: So apparently, the Janitor's closet has a secret passage and we think it leads to the Catacombs.

GHOULIA: And now I kinda remember reading about secret passages in the Janitor's closet...

FRANKIE: We have to hurry!

DRACULAURA: Yeah, for all we know Cleo is probably about to get killed right now.

Everyone stares at Draculaura.

DRACULAURA: What? It's a possibility!

CLAWDEEN: So why isn't Scarah here?

DEUCE: She followed the person we believe is the killer.

CLAWDEEN: And we believe this person is the killer because...?

GHOULIA: That person was wearing the same hoodie the killer was wearing when I saw them trying to frame Cleo.

FRANKIE: But why would you let her go by herself?

DEUCE: She insisted!

CLAWDEEN: Suspicious...

DEUCE: Look, I'm sure she'll come back safe and sound. Now can we worry about the Cata--

Suddenly, they hear a Banshee scream echoing in the hallways.

DRACULAURA: Oh god... Oh my god!

Everyone rushes to the Janitor's closet and they don't find anyone in there, when Ghoulia notices an open classroom door.

GHOULIA: Guys...?

Ghoulia points to the open classroom door. Everyone goes there and...

FRANKIE: Oh... my... GOD!

DRACULAURA: She... She's dead!

They find the body of Scarah Screams hanging on the ceiling. There is a letter in the table. Ghoulia grabs it and reads it out loud.

GHOULIA: "I'm sorry Invisi Billy... I'm sorry everyone... It was not my intention..."

DEUCE: So... this means--

CLAWDEEN: She did kill Invisi Billy.

Everyone looks at each other, both terrified and confused.

DRACULAURA: What the fuck is going on?!
