The first day back at school, everybody is hanging out until a werecat named Toralei Stripe makes an unexpected return after studying abroad in Scaris, France for a year. She opposes both half-monsters and witchcraft at the school and dosen't approve them, then she show her scars on her right arm from and made the witches who'd attacked her in Scaris. Clawdeen stands up to Toralei, but she smirks and leaves.
Clawdeen, Draculaura and Frankie are outside the school when a group of monsters led by Demi Boovais approach Clawdeen. Demi tells her she is also half-monster and Clawdeen is why she came to Monster High. As Draculaura and Frankie walk to class, another new student bumps into Draculaura. He introduces himself as Ellis, another vampire like her. They seem to be mutually interested and enjoy each other's company.
At assembly, the school welcomes the new students, and Headmistress Bloodgood announces that Clawdeen and Toralei are the two candidates running for prefect. Clawdeen wants the post to follow in her mother Selena's footsteps because she once prefect and wants to ensure that witchcraft and half-humans will continue to attend and be included to stay at Monster High.
Later that night, Draculaura is practicing magic in the courtyard when Ellis sees her and tells her not to hide it. He also practices witchcraft which is why he came to the school, so they bond over being the only vampires there who practice it at Monster high.
Later, Clawdeen is alone with Frankie and tells her about her stress from Cleo questioning her about being chosen as prefect when two witches suddenly appear in the room as Draculaura arrives. Clawdeen scares them away with her super werewolf roar.
After, in Bloodgood's office, Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura tell her what happened in their room. Toralei and her pack arrive and tell her they must have come because Draculaura attracted the witches since she's the one. Clawdeen and her friends confront Toralei to clarify that Draculaura is innocent, but Bloodgood announces she is putting a school wide ban on all witchcraft.
Ellis reveals himself as a human witch and not a vampire witch to Draculaura and convinces her to go with him to meet his mother Zamara, head of the Salem witch coven, to possibly help end the centuries-old feud between them and vampires. As she left a far-from-perfect body double behind, Clawdeen, although jeopardizing the prefect elections, goes to find her in Seattle on a hunch. Heath, Deuce, and Frankie show up to help her bring her back.
Draculaura meets Zamara, the head of the coven, who convinces her to speak at the huge witch conclave the next day. Meanwhile, Clawdeen's father, Apollo, whose security company is in charge of the company's security, manages to guide her to Draculaura. They talk, but she won't leave as she believes she must fight for peace.
Clawdeen and her friends return to Monster High without Draculaura in time for the closing speeches for prefect. While Toralei spews hate speech, she calls for inclusion. Back in Seattle, after Draculaura sees Clawdeen's speech, as she prepares to head back.
However, Zamara appears and explains that Draculaura is actually her prisoner. As its comes to age at midnight, they are going to use her to cast a mortality curse, destroying all vampires. Draculaura is kept in a monster-repulsing cage and put under a spell to damn all vampires.
