Chapter 5: Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? Part 3

Conner's POV:
Clawdeen, Cleo, and I are currently going down into the catacombs below Monster High. We were trying to search for an abandoned concert hall but were having trouble finding it. "Remind me why I'm here again?" I asked. 

"Because you promised to help us make Draculaura's party a reality." Clawdeen said in response. I sighed and watched as she walked down the stairs. I can't help but see the sway of her hips. "You gonna ask her to the party or not?" Cleo asked me. "It's not easy for me Cleo. I'm not like all you other monsters. I'm different." I said.

"You're a shapeshifter, that's kind of your thing." Cleo commented. "It's more than that. It doesn't matter. There's no way she'd go out with a guy like me. Not with the things I've done in the past." I said. 

"Doesn't she know about your past already?" Cleo asked, "Not everything. There are somethings that I haven't told her. My time in the human world, showed me things that I'd rather keep away from her." I said as a faint glow of hellfire can be seen in my eyes.

"I'll take your word for it then." Cleo said not wanting to know about the human world. We continued following Clawdeen. "The map says there should be an old concert hall somewhere around here." Clawdeen said while looking at the map. 

"Ugh, hasn't anyone ever heard of GPS?" Cleo asked with a judgmental look. "GPS didn't exist back when people used paper maps." I said making Clawdeen chuckle a bit at the comment I made.

I looked around and saw were were getting deeper into the catacombs. We eventually walked into a creepy looking room. I looked around and had a feeling that someone was watching us. "I feel like someone's following us." I said. "That's just the feeling everyone gets when walking through the catacombs." Clawdeen said. She then turned and saw a door. "Look, a door." Clawdeen said but she noticed that it was locked.

"There must be a key around here to unlock it." I said as we began looking around the room. I secretly used both Venom's senses and my Rider powers to scan the whole room. I then turned to a skeleton and saw it holding a key. "Hey guys. I think I found it." I said as they turned and saw the skeleton holding a key. "A skelet key. Those open everything." Clawdeen commented. She grabbed the key from the skeleton's hand and walked back to the door.

She inserted the key and unlocked the door. Once it opened we were met with a foul odor. Unfortunately it was worse for me and Clawdeen since our senses were stronger than other monsters or humans. "Whoa! That smells like rotten eggs left in someone's gym bag with a gallon of spoiled milk and brimstone." I said holding my nose. "Not sure about that. But it definitely stinks." Clawdeen said as we walked deeper inside the room.

"Totally. What died in here?" Cleo asked, trying to fan away the smell. Just then a ghost popped out of nowhere and scared the ghouls but I just smirked before my sixth sense went off.

I turned around and saw Clawdeen and Cleo heading towards a pit of green sludge. I unwrapped the chains around my arms and threw them as they wrapped around their waists stopping them from falling into whatever that stuff was.

They turned around and saw the pit and gasped when they noticed the pit with green sludge. And the smell was coming from it. "That was too close." I said as I flicked the chains and they unwrapped from their waists and I rewrapped them around my arms. "Thanks for the save." Cleo said impressed with my work with chains. "At least those chains I added to your new jacket came in handy." Clawdeen said.

"Ha! Well that was a close shave." Someone commented. We looked up and saw none other than Operetta. "Yeah, if Conner wasn't so good with chains, we'd be in... whatever that is." Cleo said. "Y'all nearly fell into the cauldron of eternal body odor." Operetta explained. Which made us back away from the pit. But Clawdeen ended up backing up into my chest. I smiled at her as she blushed sheepishly and stepped away quickly.
