My Gorgon

Prefect speeches and saving Draculaura and Alex

Bloodgood: "Good afternoon, monsters. Who is most worthy to lead Monster High? Final prefect speeches are about to begin. Don't be late. I mean it."

Clawdeen's pov:

My phone goes off with texts from Cleo. 

'Prep meeting in 5min backstage.'

'Clawditorium is packed!'

'WHERE ARE YOU?'

I text her back. 'On my way!'

She texts back. 'You said that 10 minutes ago!'

She then tells me to start running. 

***Time skip to the end of Toralei's speech***

all: Hey-hey, ho-ho, every witch has got to go.

Hey-hey, ho-ho, every witch has got to go.

Hey-hey, ho-ho...

Cleo says, "Oh, my Ra. Listen to them, Clawdeen. You have to tell them what they want to hear, or else they will eat you alive. Sorry. That--that was a little scary sounding. Pep talks are new for me. But seriously, they will eat you alive."

all: Ho-ho, every witch has got to go.

T: "Thank you, fellow monsters."

BG: "Toralei Stipe. Thank you, Toralei. Now, please welcome our second prefect candidate, Clawdeen Wolf."

Demi says, "Go, Clawdeen."

I start my speech by telling them what they want to hear. "Witches are the enemy. Witches are evil. The only good witch is a dead witch, right? Humans said that about witches too. They feared and hunted them, just like they feared and hunted monsters. If anyone understands what it is like to be hated, to be persecuted, it's us. That's why we need to stand against ignorance, against fear and stand up for the marginalized and misunderstood. My best friend practices witchcraft, and I'm proud of them. They are one of us, and they are good.  The triplets are half witch and I'm proud of them for owning all of themselves. So I'm standing up for them and for anyone, monster, human, witch, who believes that ancient prejudices are less important than who we are now. Who's with me?"

Draculaura's pov:

I'm watching Clawdeen's speech. "My best friend practices witchcraft, and I'm proud of her."

I hear a knock. "Come in."

Clawdeen's speech. "She is one of us..."

Ellis walks in. "Hey." I start packing my things.

He continues, "I got your text. What's up?"

I tell him, "Listen, I'm sorry. I have to go. I believe in peace. I do. But right now, I have to get back to school."

E: "But why?"

D: "My friends, they need me. And I need them."
