Valentine walks through the halls with a smirk as he heard every ghoul giggle or sigh as he walks by them feeling all the admiration stares along with the annoyed looks from the guys.
"I'm Toralei." A cat monster said with a smirk stopping Valentine on his walk. "Pleased to meet ya, darlin'." He said with a smirk.
"I'm-." He gets cut off by Toralei.
"Valentine, yes. I know all about you." Toralei said as she looks at her nails. "I see my reputation precedes me." He said.
"And I know you're here for Draculaura's heart." She said and that made Valentine freak out about that. "Hush, now." He said as he goes into a classroom with Toralei on toe.
"Look, she called me." Valentine said and Toralei stops him. "She didn't call you, I did." She said with a smirk.
"You did? Why?" He asked confused.
"To help you get past her guard dog." Toralei said as she forced him to look outside at the hallway where they see Clawd, Clawdius and Draculaura talking outside.
"The furry fellows?" Valentine asked watching them and he suddenly froze as a familiar girl jumps on Clawdius back. "Her boyfriend." Toralei said thinking he froze on the spot because of Draculaura and Clawd.
"Boyfriend?" Valentine said as he hides when the human girl turns around feeling being watched but shrugs it as she smiles at Clawdius. "Relax. Clawd doesn't have a romantic tuft of fur on his whole body." Toralei said.
"What about that other guy? The one where he has the human girl on his back." Valentine said as he looks back at the group.
"Oh, Clawdius definitely should be someone to look out for. But don't worry, as long as you don't do anything to Rae is all good." Toralei said with a shrug.
"He sure is big." He said talking about Clawdius but gulps as he saw Rae's neck show as she moves her hair away from her face remembering how delicious her blood had tasted when he came to pick up his mother's jewelry. "Aw... it's okay, fraidy cat."
"The big bad wolfs are leaving." Toralei said and it was true Rae waved goodbye to Draculaura as she walks between Clawd and Clawdius.
"Now, get over there and do what you do best." Toralei said and Valentine nods with a smirk.
"All right, now we're talking." Valentine said and looks at her. "Why are you doing this anyway, pretty kitty?" He asked.
"Let's just call it a birthday present from the heart." Toralei said touching her heart and before she could leave Valentine stops her. "One more thing, what do you know about that Rae girl?" He asked making Toralei look at him confused.
"Uhhh..."

"Um... Clawdius where you the one who send some flowers this morning?" Rae asked as they play with crescent who happily played with the new toy Rae got her.
"What? No." Clawdius said confused as he didn't send any surprise gifts, he likes to hand it over in person. "I thought so, beside this roses were to pink. It's been happening a lot." Rae said with a frown and Clawdius knows that she doesn't like pink roses.
"You think you have an admirer?" He asked and Rae could swear she could feel the jealousy in his voice. "I hope not, because I like guys that can be bold and at front with their feelings." Rae said with a smile seeing Clawdius sigh in relief.
"I'm glad." He said and screams as crescent had jump on his face when she saw a butterfly land on her owner's face. Rae gasps and then laughs making Clawdius huff putting his pet down and smirks.
"What?" Rae asked seeing his smirk and he stands up bringing his hands up ready to pounce his target making Rae scream with a laugh avoiding getting caught in his hands knowing what his trying to do. "No tickles!" She said as she runs around the garden.
_________
Rae smiles as she gets out of the shower looking refreshed only to frown as another dozen roses were on her nightstand.
"Again?" Rae said and sees a card on it. "That's the first time it has a card." She said and reads it.
As she reads it, her eyes widen what it said.
"Hello my little blood girl, miss me?" She read and looks at the balcony throwing the flowers outside while ripping the card into pieces.
"Who is this guy?" Rae said and heads down stairs to talk to her personal butler. "John! Can I speak to you for a moment?" She asked as she saw John preparing dinner and he nods.
"What can I do for you miss Rae?" He asked as he stops cutting onions. "Have you meet the person that keeps giving those pink roses?" She asked him and John shakes his head.
"Unfortunately not Miss Rae, is only the flowers that are brought in by the delivery guy. Should I stop them from coming in?" He asked seeing the trouble look on her face and Rae nods.
"Yes, I'll make sure that they don't come in the house." He said and Rae nods with a smile.
"Thanks, John. I'll see you later at dinner." Rae said and left the kitchen.
________ [Next day ]
Rae swings and holds her stand for a moment that's when she suddenly had a small flashback of seeing her arm cover in blood and fangs pierce it. That's what made her lose focus and flips over to land on the ground but she step on the wrong side of the ground making her drop on some rose bushes.
"Damn it." Rae said as she lay there going over what she saw, the only thing that got her attention was the sharp fangs on her arm where they once were. She gets up only to gasp as a basketball heads towards her and grabs it looking who it was that threw it.
"Clawdius? I thought you were busy with Clawd." Rae said with a smile as she passed the ball back at him.
"Well, he was getting annoying with the whole get something for Draculaura. So, I came here to get away from all that besides I wanna see what you got?" He said as he throws back the basketball at her and Rae smiles.
"One on one?" He asked and Rae smirks.
"If you can handle being a loser!" Rae said as she bounce the ball and goes around him making him chuckle going after her.
