Chapter five: Snap Twice

The next morning, Morwenna found herself walking with the sheriff and her principle along with her sister. Wednesday ranted off questions while the older sister stayed back and silently listened. But when the sheriff made a comment about the monster being a Nevermore student that set of Principle Weems.

Morwenna quietly sighed through her nose, tired of following them around and answering their questions. "Why haven't you said anything? Since you Addams seem to have a mind of your own." Spoke the older man with a hint of an attitude. "I know what I saw and no matter what I say you won't believe me. It won't make any difference if I do or don't." She simply spoke and turned to walk away.

Morwenna let out a huff as soon as she was out of sight. Students around her watching her and whispering, guaranteeing Bianca Barclay had something to do with it since she and Wednesday told her to get help after running out of the woods.

Bianca was then spotted by the raven haired girl. "I heard our little friend Rowan is alive." Said the siren in a snarky tone as her siren minions giggled. "I heard that you've been knocked down from fencing captain and a certain someone's taking your place." Morwenna sent a cold glare her way as her mouth hung and she quickly took off.

Sighing out, Morwenna slipped into a shadowed hallway and came out behind the Edgar Allen Poe statue. "Xavier." She spoke from the dark. He jumped and whirled around, seeing her in the shadow as if she were a part of it. "Jesus christ. You scared the fuck outta me. Again." He held his hand over his heart and closed his red sketchbook.

Coming out of the shadows she sat next to him on the ground. "How are you doing? Ya know after seeing a murder." It was said in a tone that didn't hold much belief. "I did see him be killed. No one believes me or my sister." She sighed and crossed her arms.

"Alright, alright. It's just his things were packed and I heard he's quite well and alive." Xavier shrugged and opened his sketchbook again. Looking down Morwenna saw a very detailed dragon on the page.

A feeling of intuition ran up her spine and her thoughts began to swirl. "Whatever." She grumbled and used her magic to rip out the page in his book. "Hey! What's wrong with you?" He asked and tried to reach for the drawing. "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with everyone not believing that I saw someone be killed right in front of me?" She swiftly turned to face him.

"Give me that back." He glared with a frown. "Believe me when I say that your roommate is dead!" She leaned forward just as he did to grab his picture that floated behind her head. He stopped with a small gasp at their closeness. Their noses nearly touching as they felt each other's breaths on their cheeks.

Xavier cleared his throat as he was stuck to look into the dark eyes of Morwenna. She stayed stoic, but deep down felt a small flutter. He was quick to grab his picture and slowly lean away from her, breathing out as he did.

"I've gotta go." Morwenna then quickly stood as Xavier tried to stop her. "No. Just stay." He tried to grab her hand but she had already slipped into the shadows once more.

Now, Morwenna and Wednesday were sat at the therapist's office. The younger Addams girl trying to get Dr. Kinbott to believe them. Morwenna had given up after the hours she herself had spent trying to get anyone to believe her.

Dr. Kinbott believes she isn't trying to get them into one of her many psychological traps. But to them she's putting thoughts into their brains.

Her sickly sweet voice was making Morwenna annoyed, she could hardly stand to sit there any longer. Unfortunately, they were only twenty minutes into their session and still had a long ways to go.
