The school hallways light up with a warm yellow aura, as it follows the thud footsteps of Wednesday Addams. Thing was perched on her shoulder as the both of them went looking for Enid and Tia. Wednesday had come back to her room to find Enid wasn't there and even though Wednesday  tried to busy herself with her type-writer, she felt that something wasn't right. She even sensed that Thing was hiding something from her, but due to lack of evidence, she couldn't interrogate him.

As the two scour the empty hallways, Wednesday couldn't help but feel a sense of dread rushing up her spine. The feeling of something or someone was watching you, stalking your every move. Even Thing is starting to feel uneasy, which is unusual for the mighty hand. She continues to walk but the sound of a swift wind rushing past her forces her to turn around, only to find the place empty. 

"I don't like this," she whispers to Thing who nods in agreement.

She takes a breath and continues to walk but the window to her right starts to open and shut. Back and forth, even though there was barely any wind. Wednesday approaches it and hesitantly shuts it. Wednesday stands there, still and silent. She closes her eyes as she senses someone near, and the sound of approaching footsteps get her ready to swing-

"Hey!" Xavier yells and dodges Wednesday's swing.

The two stand there awkwardly and Wednesday apologizes. She tries to stand up straight and re-fix her posture but the awkward tension between them forces her to look away.

"You alright?" Xavier asks, concerned but also cautious to Wednesday swinging at him. 

Wednesday nods but doesn't say anything. She senses something eerie about the wind that constantly swooshes by. The possibility of a ghost trying to haunt her isn't entirely low but trying to figure out who would haunt her is difficult. 

Before Xavier could say anything to lighten the mood, a door swings open and slams shut making the pair jump in fright. Thing becomes frightened and hides in Wednesdays front blazer -pocket. Usually, Wednesday would say something but this time she doesn't blame him.

The two look at one another with worry but decide to slowly approach the door. Before they could get close, multiple objects come flying at them. They manage to  dodge them and the both of them make a run for it. 

Vases, glasses and all sorts come flying at them, breaking and shattering onto the walls. A door swings open and two arms grab onto Wednesday and Xavier, pulling them inside the room. To their surprise, it was Tia and Enid. The happiness and relief showed up on their faces but immediately turned to concern when they realised what Wednesday and Xavier were running from.

Before Tia could explain, Wednesday butts in, "I know exactly who you are."

An awkward silence came right after it but Wednesday continued, "you were an ex-student of this school who was clearly expelled due to the severity of your powers. You're a sorceress, a druid-witchcraft is your thing. I see now why Principal Weems let you go."

Tia is stunned, speechless and so Bianca decides to intervene, "Wednesday, we got a bigger problem right now."

Wednesday turns to Bianca, and she realises Bianca's mother was sitting in the corner afraid. 

"What's the bigger problem?"

"The one you faced outside in those hallways. It's the ghost of my dad."

Wednesday and Xavier are completely baffled but Bianca goes on to explain it all to them.  Their faces turn from baffled to shock but both agree to help.

"It won't be easy," Tia explains, "first, we have to find a way to see him, then Bianca has to corner him and blow the horn."

"So, only Bianca can blow the horn?" Wednesday asks.
