Monster High: Haunted Page #2

It's a secret because most ghosts

are pretty nervous around outsiders.

You're what we ghosts

refer to as "solids."

Solids?

Her story checks out.

Most ghosts have never even seen

outsiders from the Monster World.

They'd probably be pretty scared

if they saw you.

My family left Ghost World

a long time ago.

They thought Monster High

would be a good place for me.

This boat will take us back

to my old school,

Haunted High.

Unbelievable.

A whole other school sitting

right next to Monster High.

So, what brings you back

to the Ghost World, Spectra?

Draculaura is being haunted.

That's impossible.

Ghosts don't haunt the Monster World.

There hasn't been a haunting since...

...the Red Lady.

What is the Red Lady?

The legend of the Red Lady

is a story that every ghost learns

when they're very young.

Hundreds of years ago,

the Red Lady was the scariest,

most notorious ghost

in the Monster World.

No one was safe from her hauntings.

They say the Red Lady figured out

a way to quickly travel

between the Ghost World

and the Monster World.

The Red Lady became more infamous

with every ghostly crime.

Nothing delighted her more

than hiding in the shadows,

waiting for just the right moment

to jump out...

and scare unsuspecting outsiders.

But one day, her scaring spree

finally came to an end

when the Red Lady was captured

and locked away.

They say the weight of her crimes

was so heavy

that it will take her centuries

to pay her debt to society.

Sorry, I just love a good ghost story.

Yeah.

Me, too.

That's why there aren't

hauntings anymore.

No ghost ever wants to face

the same fate as the Red Lady.

What was that?

Whoa! Hang on!

Prepare to be boarded,

you unseaworthy brine shrimp.

And time.

Thirty-seven seconds.

A new record.

New record! New record!

Would you be so kind as to sign this

for my ghost pirate class?

I am Vandala Doubloons!

Captain of the Salty Spectre,

fiercest ghost pirate on the haunted seas!

And I'm...

Very seasick!

Come on Vandala, get it together.

Nobody likes a seasick pirate.

Solids! Solids!

You have solids on your boat!

Vandala, it's okay.

They're... nice solids.

You're sure they're not here

to haunt me?

'Cause I have been handling

a lot of cursed treasure lately.

Spectra, if this is how ghosts

at Haunted High are going to react to us...

No, it should be fine,

as long as you're with me.

But it wouldn't be a bad idea

to disguise you ghouls

so you don't attract too much attention.

River Styxx has got you covered.

You're sure you don't have

something a little less...

grim?

Perhaps in a pink?

We're here.

Little help?

Oops. Sorry.

Oh, my ghoul, it's boo-tiful!

I can't believe my parents

never told me about this place.

I like your...

Squid thingie.

He's a cuttlefish. His name is Aye.

- Aye?

- Aye, Aye.

Aye, Aye!

It's as if nothing changed since I left.

Well, almost nothing.

That's a strange fashion statement.

Those are detention chains,

courtesy of Principal Revenant.

Detention? They're being punished?

If you get caught breaking the rules,

you get chains

that you have to work off.

Sometimes with extra homework,

sometimes you get chores.

I had to swab the floors for months

to work off my last detention.

There are lots of

different types of chains,

but they all work the same way.

As long as you're in detention,

you can't leave Haunted High.

Ghouls, somebody here has to know

something about Draculaura's haunting.

I say we hit the creepateria

and ask around.

Aye, aye!

Wow! Incredible!

Are you sure this is the creepateria?

It's the creepateria.

- Hi, Kiyomi!

- Oh! How are you?

Love the shoes, Kiyomi.

Good outfit, Kiyomi.

- Hi, Kiyomi.

- Wow.

- Who's the popular ghoul?

- Wait.

That's Kiyomi?

I'd recognize that face anywhere.

Well, you know what I mean.

Kiyomi!

Spectra!

You're back!

And you're different!

You used to be the shyest ghost

at Haunted High.

Now look at you,

all fashionable and popular.

Hey, change is good, right?

Kiyomi, these are my friends,

Sirena, Twyla, Rochelle, Clawdeen

and Draculaura.

Hello!

Kiyomi, you seem familiar to me.

- Have we met before?

- No!

I don't think so.

Are you okay, Kiyomi?

You're turning green.

Yes. I'm fine.

I'm sorry, I've got to fly,

but let's catch up before you leave.

Nice to meet you all.

Your friend is so colorful.

That's how Kiyomi shows her emotions.

- How she expresses herself.

- Well, she didn't stick around very long.

It's fine. We're not here

for classmate reunions.

We're here to help Draculaura.

So, did anyone hear about somebody

haunting the Monster World?

Who do I look like? The Red Lady?

That's against the rules.

Oh, I know.

I just heard a rumor, that's all.

Hey, check it!

What's going on?

Oh, it's just Porter.

- Freedom for all!

- Freedom for all!

No more detention chains!

Fight the power!

- Break the chains, man!

- No more detention chains!

He is kind of cute, though.

Cute or not, is he allowed to paint

on the walls like that?

He is not.

And here come the Hall Moanitors.

The Hall Moanitors?

The ghosts of hauntings Past,

Present and Future.

They're Principal Revenant's eyes

and ears around the school.

Present, the leader,

is always on the lookout

for someone breaking the rules.

That one is Past.

She keeps track of every

student infraction at Haunted High.

Give him the chains!

And the ghost of Future,

he has a way of predicting

what you're gonna do before you do it.

It's chains for you.

No!

Just the sight of those

scalawags shivers my timbers.

Principal Revenant.

We have a 1424 in the creepateria.

It's that paintergeist again, isn't it?

Oh, come on.

It's ghost paint, it's not permanent.

Give him the chains.

You're gonna have to catch me first.

A bad boy artist

on the run from the law.

I might have just found my first story.

Whoa! Hey!

Whoa!

Ha-ha! Yeah!

Look out!

Hello, students.

Hello, Principal Revenant.

Porter Geiss.

Treating us to another one

of your little art projects?

That's the fourth time

this month, Ms. Revenant.

I knew she was gonna say that.

Another detention, Principal Revenant?

Oh, yes. He'll never learn his lesson

if he doesn't pay the price.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, you crashed into me.

You, I don't recognize.

Are you one of my students?

No, ma'am. I'm Spectra Vondergeist.

I'm just visiting from Monster High.

Maybe should've left that part out.

Really?

So there are ghost students that go

to school in the Monster World?

How interesting.

And your little reaper friends there?

They attend Monster High as well?

Awfully shy, aren't they?

Check it out!

- They're really solids!

- What are they doing here?

Well I guess the werecat's

out of the bag.

Moanitors?

What is the punishment for bringing

non-ghosts to Haunted High?

Whoa! Punishment?

Technically there has been no rule

that says you can't bring in non-ghosts.

It's never happened before.

Present, make a rule.

I have business to attend to.
