Chapter two.

  "How did you miss a dead body?" My sister asked walking with the sheriff, "Cause it wasn't there, No footprints no sign of trouble. My search party looked all night " He replied "well, your search party must have left their seeing-eye dogs at home I saw that monster kill Rowan right in front of me" 

last night was possibly the best sleep I've gotten, but sadly I was dragged here by my sister.

"Get a good look at this monster thing?" he said walking up the stairs "It didn't stick around for a chat" my sister snapped at him "Maybe it was one of your classmates?" 

"Sheriff, I find that question offensive" The principal looked back "Well, I don't care cause I got three other dead bodies in the morgue hikers just ripped apart in the woods" 

He fought back, "The mayor said those were bear attacks"

"Well, the Mayor and I disagree on that" He replied back "So you automatically assume a  Nevermore student is the murderer? even if there's no evidence a crime was even committed" 

He took a step back from the principal "I'm sorry, You only teach the good outcasts here"

"My guess is Rowan ran away," She said before entering the office "State troopers put out an alert and I've contacted his family. they haven't heard from him either"

"Dead people are notoriously bad at returning calls" I smiled at her.

"What were you doing out in the woods Addams?" The sheriff asked my sister "Simple, Heard and noise and went to investigate that's when I stumbled upon the attack" 

"Then?"

"Then I ran into Bianca Barclay and told her to go for help, and next thing I knew I was awakened in the affirmatory" "And just to be clear, this monster wasn't a bear or some other wild animal?" He sat down comfortably on the chair "I've hibernated with grizzlies, I know the difference"

"Thank you, Sheriff, I think they're done now" principal Weems got up from her chair "Actually I would like to speak to sheriff Galpin. Alone" 

He turned to my sister with a cheeky smile on his face "I'm not sure if I can allow that"

"I'm sure I can take her down to the station and get a formal statement" the sheriff cut in having a stare-down with her before he got up "Fine, You have five minutes and everything is off the records...Play nice or I will call the mayor"

she said before she walked out, I turned around but was stopped by someone's hand "Stay" It was funny how I was born a few minutes earlier, makes me older yet I'm taller

"Somebody is trying to cover up Rowan's murder it's the only reason to scrub the crime scene" Wednesday claimed

"Is that your professional opinion as the daughter of a murderer?" I rolled my eyes "Our father is twice the man you are, and the only thing he murders is the occasional opera in the shower"

"Addams it has been a long night I'm tired of your games" He shook his head "I'm not playing games, I'm telling the truth you want to reject my claims but you can't cause we both know there's a monster out there and Rowan was it's the  latest victim"

"Sheriff" The door opened "What?" "you're going to want to see this" Opening the door wider I could see my sister's eyes expand, I was as shocked as she was. There he was, In the flesh and clearly alive.

....

"help me understand why you would claim you've witnessed a murder. Was it for attention?" It was starting to get annoying at this point "why should she bother telling you anything if you already decided she was lying, She knows what she saw"
