Robecca’s Between Classes Diary - 20 October - Now
I remember everything that happened to me right up until the last time I skated in the maze. It has been all I could do to daily resist the urge to let my life go to rust. The most difficulty has come from my father not being here. The team of explorers that he joined never returned from the catacombs. It has been a hundred years since any monster has seen them, but I know they are still trying to find their way home because Ghoulia Yelps, as amazing and intelligent a ghoul as ever was, has been following any and all news about the team since before I was discovered and reassembled. She says that it is a great mystery and that there have been many books written about their mysterious disappearance. She also told me that six months ago, a message was found written on the wall of a previously undiscovered cavern. It read simply, "Forward to our families. Onward to our hope." It was signed by my father and dated three months prior to the cavern's discovery. Ghoulia also helped me find my father's old lab, where I was delighted to find Captain Penny, the mechanical penguin father built for me. Poor thing's fire had completely gone out, and when I got him restarted, he was so excited that he almost blew a heart gasket. I am still living at Miss Kindergrubber's, who is now a teacher at Monster High, and it was she who convinced me to enroll. Even though I feel rather old-fashioned and I am unfamiliar with much of the current technology, my new friends have been very accepting and are... scary sweet.
