What a beautiful sunset. I was sitting at a table alone, watching everyone have fun at the Harvest Festival. I was there with all of my classmates from Nevermore. I saw my twin sister Wednesday talking to a guy I recognised as the boy from the Weathervane. Even if she was a new student, she made more friends in a week than I did since the beginning of the year. I was at Nevermore before her and she joined the Academy recently.

The guy handed her a police file. What could that be about ? But the two of them started to run away. I followed them through the crowd. It's not that I didn't trust that Tyler guy, he was just not very clever and I don't want my sister to have problems because of him. Wednesday suddenly threw her head back. Gosh she was having one of her vision again. Not the right moment at all.

"Wednesday, we need to go. Wednesday come on !" I heard Tyler said, confused as hell.

My sister started to run towards the forest. I saw that she was running after someone, a tall guy with glasses. Isn't his name Rowan or something like that ? I think he's the Nevermore student with telekinesis. I followed them, something was wrong and I needed to discover what. I hid behind a tree. Not the best hideout but not the case.

"Rowan come back ! Rowan wait !" Wednesday shouted.

"What do you want ? Why are you following me ?" He answered, with a anxious tone.

"I don't have time to explain, but you're in danger."

Did my sister saw something happening to Rowan in her vision ? But then he began to laugh :

"I think you got it backwards."

He threw my sister against a tree with his telekinesis. I don't understand what's happening at all.

"You're the one who's in danger." Rowan hissed.

"What are you doing ?"

"Saving everyone from you. I have to kill you."

"The gargoyle, that was you ?"

"Yeah."

"It's always the quiet one." I heard my sister mutter.

Rowan showed Wednesday a drawing. I couldn't see it from where I was. He then spoke :

"Girl in the picture. That's you."

"You want to kill me because of some picture ?"

"My mother drew this 25 years ago when she was a student at Nevermore. She was a powerful seer. Told me about it before she died."

"Rowan put me down." Wednesday ordered.

"No ! My mother said it was my destiny to stop this girl if she ever came to Nevermore because she will destroy the school and everyone in it."

A unknown scream was heard and a gigantic creature with massive eyes jumped on Rowan. My eyes widened. Did Wednesday saw this in her vision ? The boy was now screaming, the beast scratching his skin, his blood splashing everywhere. Then everything stopped. The creature looked at my sister and ran away. After checking if it was really gone, I hurried to Wednesday and to Rowan.

"Y/N ! Nice timing. I'm fine don't worry now go and heal him before it's too late."

Rowan was really in a horrible state. But he was still breathing, there was still a chance to save him. I began to heal the wound on his stomach, the one who were bleeding the most.

After a while, all his wounds were closed, and the blood cleaned. But he was not going to wake up soon. I looked at my sister, sitting by my side :

"What are we supposed to do with him ? Do we need to get him to the nurse or to tell someone about it ?"

"No. No one needs to know what happened. We just need to find out what was that creature and why did it hurts Rowan."

"Okay but where is he gonna stay ?"

"In your dorm, I don't think Enid would understand anyway and you have no roommates for now."

"Yes no problem. But how are going to tell the Principal Weems he disappeared ?"

"We can just tell her he decided to run away because he didn't want to stay in Nevermore anymore."

"Wow. It looks like we're back in our childhood, planning fake murders. Remember that ?

"One of the greatest time of my life." My twin sister answered, almost smiling.

The next day, Rowan was settled in my dorm. I didn't have a roommate so there was enough space for him. Because of my healing powers, I needed books with spells and plants and I kept them in a separate room. And I made Rowan stay there, on a mattress. He didn't woke up yet but I knew he would be awake soon.

Wednesday came to check on him one time today and she told me she didn't discover anything about the monster. I was glad the boy's disappearance didn't worry anyone. We handled the whole thing like professionals.

In the afternoon as I was reading, not far from where Rowan was lying, I heard him moving. I looked up from my book and saw him opening his eyes.

"Good ! You're finally awake !" I exclaimed.

He turned, facing me, not understanding why he was here.

"What- What happened ? And who are you ? Why am I not dead ?"

"I'm Wednesday's twin sister, you know the one you tried to kill yesterday ? I saved your life by healing your wounds as you were bleeding to death, you're welcome."

"You're Y/N Addams ? The healer ?"

I nodded, my eyes studying him. He didn't seem too bad, except all of the bandages and wounds on his body.

"Thank you I suppose, for keeping me alive."

"No problem. But there's something you need to know. We made believe to everyone you ran away because we couldn't tell them you were attacked by a monster. So you need to hide here until you're able to come back to the Academy or to your house."

The boy blinked a few time, staring at me.

"Don't worry I will get you food and everything you need, I just need to be sure your wounds are healed. You almost died so-"

"Okay thank you Y/N for all this. It's very nice of you."

I smiled to him. He wasn't that bad after all.

The next months, I got to know Rowan. We were now friends and he was almost completely healed. He still has those nasty scratches but  they seemed less hurtful. I knew he was getting better and it was time to say goodbye. And oh god how hard it is to say goodbye to someone you're in love with. Because Rowan wouldn't stay at Nevermore, so I knew it'll be one of the last time I see him.   

We had great times together. Even if he was still tortured by nightmares about the monster. Once, he woke up in the middle of the night, sweating, and he couldn't breathe. Even with his medicine, he wasn't really better. So we spent the rest of the night, sitting here, doing breath exercises as I was trying to make him feel less stressed out. That night, he gave me a hug and that's when I realized what the butterflies in my stomach meant.   

But now's the time to say goodbye. It was dark and Rowan was taking the train to come back to his family. We were in each others arms. When I finally let go of him, tears in my eyes, he took my hand : 

"Wait don't go." 

"But I need to go back to the Academy before the curfew-" 

"I don't want to let you go." 

"Rowan..." 

"Fine then I just need one more thing." 

"Hm ?" 

He moved closer and gently leans in. His soft lips were on mine and I couldn't deny that he was a great kisser. 

"Feeling better ?" 

I smiled. Gosh that boy really is amazing.
