A school that's not like the rest in town.
This story is all about a young girl named Brenda Niles. She's a 16 year old girl who lived in Cincinnati, Ohio with her parents. However, things change when her parents are suddenly fired from their jobs. Now with no job, the family began searching for a new job, until they both receive a phone call offering a new better job in Watertown, Northern Heresy. This meant they'd have to move, but they accepted anyways, not bothering to tell Brenda. They pack up and move. Because they moved, Brenda is going to have to attend a new school, called Scarsdale High and Academy. She didn't care that out of the 15 different high schools, her parents chose Scarsdale. She didn't care that much, so she got ready. She decided to take a city bus to Scarsdale. When she got off, the school seemed normal, until she walked into the building. She did see teenagers and teachers......except they were monsters; people dressed in different clothes, that looked more like costumes, and just people with strange abilities. When she turned to look behind her she saw a banner:
Welcome to Scarsdale High, where Monsters roam and come to earn their powers.
Brenda makes plenty of friends and soon learns that there's a little monster in everybody.
