Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6

Remus expected to be made the heir to his parents’ throne.

After all, he was the elder of the twins by ten minutes. The first born was always the heir.

So Remus thinks it’s very unfair when his brother is made the heir instead, and all he’s made is a Duke.

So, he does the only thing he thinks he can do: raise an army to invade and kill his brother.

When he comes face to face with his twin, the other tries to convince him to stop, tries to talk him down.

But Remus has none of it. His kingdom was taken from him, and he’ll do anything to get it back.

The two battle, until Remus finally brings his morning star on the other’s head...

Just as his brother stabs him.

He watches his brother die before him, and grins in victory.

However, he knows he won’t last long, bleeding out and all, so he gets up, and wanders off, finding his most powerful ally: the Dragon Witch.

She gifts him a potion that she says will revive him after death.

Remus drinks it, dies, but then rises again as a zombie.

What he doesn’t account for is his brother coming back as a ghost and trapping him in his own tomb for centuries.

And that’s where he stays, until a werewolf arrives and lifts the lid of his tomb slightly, freeing him.

Unsurprisingly, when he sees his dear brother, Cain instinct takes over, and he tries to smash his head with his morning star.

“Oh darn... I forgot you were incorporeal...”

Roman turns to him, glaring. “Get back in your coffin and stay there.”

“Now why would I do that?” Remus hops out. “So, who are these two lovely people, who I thank greatly for freeing me? And what year is it?”

The werewolf answers “Um, I’m Logan and this is Ethan... It’s 2019.”

“2019! I have been in there too long! I have so much to catch up on!”

Remus continues talking to Logan and Ethan about what life is like in modern times, while Roman desperately tries to get him to go back to his coffin.

When Remus finds out about the castle becoming a home for lost monsters, he immediately decides he’s going to move in, ignoring Roman’s demands he doesn’t.

Virgil is very unsettled by the zombie, with his gory and explicit talks and tendencies.

If Patton thought Ethan might be a bad person, he’s nothing compared to Remus. Patton tries to avoid him as much as he can.

Logan and Ethan, however, are pretty good with him. Logan is able to understand that Remus’ impulses are down to just intrusive thoughts, and if he talks about it with others instead of repressing them, it’ll get better.

Ethan, on the other hand, sees how Roman, Patton and Virgil avoid him, and takes pity on him, knowing what it’s like to be alienated, and so hangs out with him so he’s not alone.

Whether Roman, Patton and Virgil like it or not, Remus is part of the monster fam.

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5

“Babe, you sure we’re at the right place?”

“Yup!”

Emile and his boyfriend, Remy, pull up to the castle in the van they’d borrowed from Remy’s brother, Nate.

Emile hops out, runs up to the door, and knocks.

A few moments later, it doesn’t open, but someone’s head phases through.

“Who are you?”

“Oh, hello. You must be the ghost Logan was telling me about. Roman, right? I’m Emile. I’m a close friend of Logan’s!”

Roman looks him over, before pulling his head back through the door. “LOGAN, A FRIEND OF YOURS IS AT THE DOOR!”

“What the fuck...?” Remy mutters, eyes wide.

There’s footsteps, before the door is opened, this time by Logan.

“What the fuck?” Remy repeats louder upon seeing Logan’s wolf parts.

Emile quickly explains the situation to Remy and reassures none of the monsters will hurt him.

Logan asks Emile what he’s doing there, and Emile explains he and Remy went out and bought him some things he might need or had been missing out on.

Logan thinks he means a few books of his or other small things, but nope!

Remy’s family is loaded, and so he and Emile went out and bought them a TV, DVD player, dvds, a couple laptops and tablets, a wifi router, and they say they’ve got some people coming to install electrics into the place so all the stuff works.

Logan is blown away, and refuses to take any of it, it’s too much.

Unfortunately, Emile insists. Also, Roman comes back in and is like “I CAN FINALLY WATCH THESE DISNEYS PATTON HAS BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT! WE ARE TAKING IT!”

As they’re bringing stuff in, Emile and Remy get to meet all the other monsters.

Emile gets on really well with Patton, bonding over their love of cartoons, while Remy just gets more and more shook with everyone he meets.

The two stay the night, and the next day, usher the monsters out.

It’s only logical they deal with the electric employees. The monsters would just scare them.

So, Patton takes the monster fam to the graveyard to show them his grave while they’re out. (And see if any of his family have visited it since he left.)

After seeing Patton’s grave, Roman excitedly takes them to the mausoleum where his tomb lays.

However, something catches Logan’s eye. He points it out to Ethan as well.

There is a mausoleum identical to Roman’s not too far from it.

Curious, the two go inside.

The interior is like Roman’s, only the dead flowers are green, not red, and a morning star is leant on the wall beside the tomb.

Logan steps forward, going to open the tomb, when Roman suddenly flies in front of him.

“Get away from there! You must never open this, okay?! It’s extremely important, never ever! You will unleash horrible dark forces!”

He continues to rant, but Logan and Ethan’s focus doesn’t stay on him very long.

The lid of the tomb is slid off. The decayed corpse inside sits up, leaning on the side of the tomb and listening to Roman ramble on.

The corpse - the zombie - looks a lot like Roman, except it has a moustache and it’s outfit is black and green instead of white and red.

The zombie stops watching Roman, reaching over and picking up the morning star. It raises it up, before bringing it down through Roman.

“Oh darn... I forgot you were incorporeal...”
