*Wednesday POV*
The last three days have been very boring, I couldn't see Tyler on the weekend because he had to work. Someone else was supposed to be working, but he got sick and Tyler had to fill in. I was just at school and watching Xavier. He really didn't seem to notice that we had his cell phones. Luckily. Today is the outreach day again, just like last year I had absolutely no desire to do it. But I have to go through this.

*Tyler Pov*
I was really longing for Wednesday, we haven't seen each other for so long and I miss her a lot. But I was hoping that she would work in the café today, because it's their day of outreach, or whatever it's called. As I was filling in for someone else over the weekend, I've already got Thursday and Friday off this week and I'm looking forward to be able to spend the time with Wednesday.
Sara wrote to me several times, but I never replied. Either she doesn't understand that I'm not interested or she just likes to annoy people. It was now 12 noon and the Nevermore students should be coming in any minute. I stared at the door hoping for Wednesday but, just like last year, Xavier walked in. That can't be true, I thought to myself. But at least I don't have to explain so much to him since he's done it before. Sara gave him the work clothes and he started. He boiled water first and called me over, I thought he might need help. But I guess I was wrong, he pushed the button to open the kettle, walked away and before I could do anything and before I realized what was happening I was getting the boiling water all over me. I was so shocked at first that I didn't feel any pain. I heard Sara laugh and she said, "That's what you get if you never answer me. You can't just ignore me, it hurts my little heart."
Ugh, how can you be so caustic. And which person says little heart? And her voice, she speaks in such high artificial tones, it's exhausting to listen to her. Suddenly I felt how it started to burn very, very much. My father came in and asked what happened. I looked down at myself for the first time and saw that my whole arms are bright red. Everything burned. My father wanted to call an ambulance, but I thought water should do the trick. He said it wasn't enough because it's definitely a second degree burn and should have a doctor look at it, but I declined and went into the bathroom and ran lukewarm water over it. I heard my father talking to Xavier outside, he asked him if he had anything to do with it. Xavier said it was an accident. Of course. An accident. After a while my father came to check on me and asked me how I was doing. I said it's a bit better, but I didn't want to talk about it either. I asked him why he was here and he said he was here to meet Wednesday and Enid to discuss the results of Xavier's cell phone data. I've actually completely forgotten about that. We heard the door open and Wednesday and Enid came in. My father quietly told her what happened, she came to check on me, but I told her I was fine and just needed to cool it down a bit. She nodded but looked at me worried and kissed my cheek and then sat down at a table with my father and Enid.

*Wednesday POV*
I couldn't believe Xavier actually did that. Well, I can. I glared at him and saw that he was talking to this new girl. I saw her name tag, it said Sara. Now I know her name. The two whispered something and when Xavier noticed that I was looking at them both, he quickly left the café. I also threw a dirty look at Sara, and then she left the café too. Strange. She said goodbye to Tyler, but he didn't answer her. Seems like he really does find her as annoying as I do.
His dad started showing us the pics and chats. And sure enough, those were the deleted messages and pictures that were always sent to me or Tyler. We now had the proof. Tyler's dad said we could sue Xavier, but I didn't think the punishment was severe enough for the things he did. He just nodded and said that we would have to take matters into our own hands. "Don't fuck ir up," he said, laughing but with a serious look. Tyler then came over to us, his arms looked very bad.

Sheriff Galpin: "Okay no Tyler, we're going to the hospital. I'm going to drive Wednesday and Enid to Nevermore and you're coming with me. A doctor needs to check you're arm."

You could tell Tyler didn't feel like it had to be seen by a doctor, but he knew that a discussion with his father does not end well. We all got in his car and he drove us to the Academy. We thanked him and then we got out. We saw Sara coming out of the school, we exchanged a questioning look and when she saw us, she seemed uncomfortable. Enid and I went to Ajax, Bianca and Thing because we wanted to go back to the cabin and we wanted to check out the cave once again. On the way there, we told them everything and they seemed visibly shocked.

Ajax: "But I never expected anything like that from Yoko, from Xavier yes, but from Yoko?"

In the hut were new pictures. Xavier seemed to be watching Sara because he was painting her. He often painted her, very often in a disturbing way. But not only that, he painted her, on one half she looked normal, on the other half she was a Hyde. We all immediately felt sick. What is he planning to do with Sara? Bianca took pictures and sent them to our group since Tyler can't be there. He wrote: "What a fucked up shit.."
He described it very well. A fucked up shit is going on. When we saw enough, we went to the cave. Light came out of the cave and suddenly two people came out. Xavier and Sara. They were talking.

Xavier: "You see, I said we have to go out separately. If the two had seen us together, then we would have a problem."
Sara: "Yes, you're right. And you're sure that what you intend to do will work? I'm scared."
Xavier: "It will work as long as you trust me. I'll do it just like she did back then, nothing will happen to you. You just have to trust me.
Sara: "Okay, then we can start soon."

We prayed they wouldn't see us. And thank god they didn't. When they were gone, we all just stood there quietly. We were all too shocked to say anything. I texted Tyler what we saw and we ventured to check the cave. There were more syringes lying there, and there are pictures of people who were unknown to us all. They did look like Sara though, maybe her parents? We all knew what that looked like. But no one had dared to address it. Thornhill was manipulating Tyler back then, with the help of his dead mother. Does Sara perhaps have a similar stroke of fate and Xavier wants to manipulate her as well? Or is Sara really that sick that she just puts up with it? But then why are there the pictures? Maybe to make her aggressive. We all walked back to Nevermore in silence. Everyone ran to their room and it was still totally silent. We were all afraid of what was to come if the two really planned what we thought.
