A werekid hanging on to some decorations on the ceiling swung past Cleo.

“Excuse me.” Cleo took off after him.

Frankie shuddered. More electricity was pouring into her. It was everywhere in the old power station. Her eyes widened and she twitched again. Where was Twyla?

Chapter 11

UNPLUGGED!

The very first Monster High band was preparing for their very first practice. The group gathered in the school’s courtyard. Rayth was fiddling with his electric guitar. Deuce took a seat behind his drum set. Woolee pinged her triangle. Venus shook a gourd and rocked her guitar. Skelly was on bass, and Bonesy strummed his keytar. Silvi tested out her microphone. She was going to sing backup with Venus. The band was ready to rock!

“Welcome to the very first jam session of Rayth and the Silent Screams,” announced Rayth. “And a one, and a two—”

“Wait!” Deuce interrupted, his drumsticks poised in midair. The snakes of his hair hissed. “Hold up. We’re not calling the band Rayth and the Something Something. Skelly said we were gonna be The Rolling Bones.” He let loose with a triumphant drum solo.

Skelly and Bonesy gave each other a skeletal fist bump and rattled their finger bones in a secret handshake. The Rolling Bones! Best. Name. Ever! Their skulls spun round and round on their neck bones happily.

But Venus was frowning and wrinkling her nose with distaste. “We should name the band something more powerful. What about Thunder and Frightening!” She strummed a power chord on her guitar.

“No!” exclaimed Rayth instantly. “I like Rayth and the Silent Screams. Now let’s jam.”

Deuce shook his head. No way was he ready to start practicing. “Ugggh! You can’t just name the band after yourself, Rayth.”

“One, I’m the lead singer,” explained Rayth. “Two, it’s an awesome name, and three, let’s jam!”

But nobody started playing.

Venus was thinking. “What about Ghoulish Intentions?” she suggested.

“Oooh!” squealed Rayth with mock enthusiasm. He narrowed his eyes stubbornly. “What about Rayth and the Silent Screams?”

Everyone started arguing. Woolee didn’t know what to say. Silvi was getting fed up. This was no fun.

“It’s traditional to name the band after the lead singer!” Rayth stomped his foot.

“That’s the worst name in the history of names!” Venus protested.

Silvi pouted. She didn’t like all this arguing. Without even realizing it, she transformed into a snarling wolf. Everyone stopped and stared at her.

“Whoa!” gasped Rayth.

She quickly morphed back into a ghoul and smoothed her hair. She took a big breath, trying to calm herself down. They were all taking this too seriously. “Look, I’m still the new ghoul here, but I know this isn’t what Monster High is about.”

Rayth and Deuce looked down guiltily.

“We didn’t start this band to argue over something as silly as a name,” Silvi continued. “We’re here to make awesome music together. Monster music.” She let loose with a wild jam on her guitar. She was good!

The friends bowed their heads, ashamed.

“Silvi is right,” agreed Venus. “We shouldn’t be fighting like this.”

Rayth kicked at the floor. “I’m sorry,” he admitted.

“No, my bad,” said Deuce.
