"I'll be honest out of all my years of knowing the Addams, I have never seen Thing that mad." Mayhem said as she brushed paint on the canoe.

"Tell me about it, when he was signing I could barely keep up." Enid said.

The two girl had just spent an hour with Thing, giving each other manis, and Thing had many emotions to share.

"I have to get back to the woods, but Weems has been watching me like a vulture circling a carcass." Wednesday as she walked up to the two girls.

"Maybe cause you're appearing and disappearing more than usual." Mayhem stated, earning a glare from Wednesday.

"Let me guess you want me to cover so that you and May can return to the scene of a crime that didn't happen?" Enid sarcastically asked.

"I have beekeeping club this afternoon. I need you as decoy."

"Sorry, three strikes. I'm busy, bees totally creep me out, and Mayhem and I have joined PACTT." Enid stated, Wednesday furrowing her brows in confusion.

"PACTT, People Against Cruelty Towards Thing. Enid came up with the acronym." Mayhem explained, a slight smirk on her face.

"Maybe you should think before upsetting Thing." Enid states, causing Wednesday's confusion to grow.

"Why's he mad? He's the one who screwed up."

"All I know is that we spent an hour giving each other manis, and he really opened up. He feels like you don't respect him as a person."

"Technically, he's only a hand."

"Wednesday! He's your family. And he would do anything for you. Go apologize and we'll reconsider helping you." Enid ordered.

 Wednesday stood still before eventually leaving.

The three roomies were currently in the forest in the Bee Keeping Club Shed alongside Eugene, a small little nerd that ran the club.
" If Weems comes sniffing around, keep your distance, look grim, and don't say a word." Wednesday instructed as Enid placed the bee keeper hat on.
"Payback is going to be a bitch."
"Well if it makes you feel better, you are rocking the outfit." Mayhem said, a bright supportive smile on her face.
"It's not." Enid mumbled.
"Well I tried. Addams ready to go?"
"Yes. Eugene blab and I will squeeze you like a honeycomb." Wednesday threatened.
"Snitches get stung. It's hive code. Besides, I should be thanking you. This is the most girls I've ever had in the shed. Other than bees."
"Really, I would have never believed you." Mayhem said, sarcasm noted in her tone.
"I've always had a thing for werewolf chicks." Eugene said, looking over his shoulder to get a view of Enid.
"The chance that Enid ever becomes romantically interested in you is less than 1%."
"So I've still got a shot?" Eugene said happily, as Wednesday began walking out the shed.
"Addams lies - you have no chance with enid, sorry hun." Mayhem said patting his shoulder before following Wednesday deeper into the forest.
30 minutes had past, the girls were far from the school. Mayhem was already bored but Wednesday was hyper focused on finding any clues.
Walking past a tree, Mayhem was about to speak when both her and Wednesday mouths were covered and pulled back.
Not knowing who it was, Mayhem used her powers to tase the person.
"Ouch. Gee, some thanks I get." Tyler said as he brushed off the non-existent dirt on his clothes.
"What kind of Idiot, covers a girls mouth and pulls her back with consent." Mayhem responds.
"I'm sorry next time I'm saving you from my dad finding you, I'll be sure to ask first."
Mayhem rolled her eyes as Wednesday began talking to Tyler.
Soon Wednesday and Tyler began walking together leaving Mayhem to follow. She didn't know what, but there was something off putting about the boy.
"I came here to find something that can prove he was murdered and that I haven't lost my mind. Yet." Wednesday froze, kneeling down to pick up a pair of glasses. "These are Rowans."
As Wednesday picked them, her head tilted back and she froze.
"Wednesday?" Tyler asked, slightly scared.
"It's a vision. Give her a moment." Mayhem said.
Wednesday inhaled, " We need to go."
Mayhem didn't argue, she said farewell to Tyler and the two girls headed back to the school.

"God those vampires were ghastly." Mayhem laughed as she searched for the watermark Wednesday had sketch.
" keep seeing that same purple book." Wednesday said, as she showed thing the sketch again.
"Well I'm not really seeing that here." Mayhem said searching the back rows of the library.
"I don't usually find students in here looking for actual books. Most sneak in to make out. " Ms. Thornhill said as she walked down the staircase.
Mayhem stayed hidden, unsure if to approach. Wednesday is best dealing with authority, Mayhem better with teens.
"I accidentally walked in on two vampires fanging. I can't unsee that."
Mayhem listened to the discussion between Wednesday and Thornhill. She smirked when Wednesday said she enjoyed the feeling of people disliking her.
"You can come out now." Wednesday said as soon as Thornhill was out of sight.
" Mayhem who's Xaviers other roommate?"
"Well there was Rowan, but he's dead. And Xavier's other roommate left after Rowan, so pretty sure it's just him in the room. Why?"
"Just covering the bases." Wednesday said.
"Well I couldn't find anything. I can help you search tomorrow but right now I've got to help Enid study. That girl is lost in outcast history." Mayhem said as she looked at her watch.
"It's fine. Thing and I can handle." Wednesday said.
"Okay then, bye Thing. Later Addams." Mayhem said before leaving.

Wednesday and Thing had snuck into Xaviers dorm while he took a shower. "That purple book has got to be around here somewhere. Start investigating." Wednesday ordered as she walked over to the desk.
As Thing searched the book case, Wednesday started to go through his sketchbook. She quickly passed over each page but stopped when she noticed a familiar face. There in Xaviers sketchbook was a drawing of Mayhem. A simple portrait that held immense detail.
Wednesday left the sketchbook open as she went to turn off the lights. Taking the blue light out Wednesday searched till she found finger prints. Crawling under the bed, she found a loose piece of wood, lifting it up Wednesday found a feathered mask.
Just as Wednesday and Thing were about to leave when a knock came from the door. They hid under the floor listening.
"You're not supposed to be up here." Xavier said as he pulled Bianca into the room.
"Good to see you too." Bianca replied.

"How'd you get past the Housemaster? Use your siren powers?" Xavier asked, annoyed.

"Not while wearing this. Would it kill you to not think the worst of me for once?"

"What do you want, Bianca?"

"To see how you're doing. I'm sorry about Rowan. I know you guys used to be close."

"Since when did you give a damn about Rowan?"

"You were the one afraid he'd do something to Wednesday. Isn't that why you've been following her like an eager-eyed puppy? Or is it because of a certain redheaded friend of hers." Bianca asked.

Xavier noted his sketchbook open on his desk, he quickly closed it before Bianca could see.

"Maybe it's because she hasn't tried to manipulate me."

Bianca rolled her eyes, "Those two think they're better than everyone else. I can't wait to crush Ophelia Hall tomorrow and watch their werewolf roommate crumble. It's gonna be a Poe Cup finale to remember."

"I hate to think what you've got planned." Xavier mumbled.

"My game's already started. I like to win. Is that so wrong?"

Wednesday turned to Thing at Bianca's words. What had she done.

"And you wonder why I broke up with you."

"You used to love my killer instinct. We were good together, Xavier."

"Were we? Is that just how you wanted me to feel?"

"Trust me, Mayhem Dugrey is not the girl of your dreams. She's the stuff of your nightmares."

Xavier rolled his eyes, not liking what Bianca had said about Mayhem.

"Well good to know what you think, though I don't remember asking for your advise."

Using the opportunity that both Bianca and Xavier had their backs turned, Wednesday and Thing snuck out.
