The bags are removed off your and Wednesdays head revealing a group of people in purple cloaks and masks standing around the two of you. You try to move your hands to only realize that they are tied with rope.

"Who dares breach our inner sanctum?" One of the figures questions sounding oddly like Bianca.

"You can take the mask off, Bianca." Wednesday tells Bianca.

Bianca and the rest of the group then take off the masks and hoods.

"Wait, I preferred you with it on." Wednesday then says as you let out a small laugh.

"How did the two of you get down here?" Xavier asks.

"Rowan showed me." Wednesday answers as she looks from Xavier to her left pocket. "Left pocket."

Xavier then walks over to Wednesday and reaches into her left pocket pulling out a piece of paper. Xavier then unfolds the paper revealing the drawing of Wednesday and The Beast surrounded by fire.

"I tracked the watermark to the Poe statue." Wednesday says

"Then we solved the riddle." You say as you secretly cut through the ropes.

"Wait, there's a riddle?" The siren that you slapped in the Poe Cup asks. "I thought we just snapped twice." He continues as the Nightshades all sigh in disappointment.

"Well, aren't you the brightest in the bunch?" Wednesday tells the siren.

"The Nightshades are an elite social club, emphasis on elite." Bianca tells you and Wednesday.

"We have roof parties, campouts, the occasional midnight skinny-dip." Yoko adds looking over at another girl.

"And Yoko's an amateur mixologist." The girl continues.

"She makes a killer virgin mojito. It can get pretty wild." Ajax then continues after the girl.

"Wow. D you guys even have a bedtime?" Wednesday asks uninterested." Last I heard, the Nightshades had been disbanded."

"Yeah, the group kind of lost its charter 30 years ago after some normie kid died' Xavier answers.

"But we have alot of wealthy alumni so Weems looks the other way as long as nobody makes any waves."

"Someone like Rowan?" Wednesday questions as she seems more interested in what they are saying.

"We booted that loser last semester." Bianca answers "Question is, what are we going to do with them?" Bianca asks looking around at the other Nightshades. "Only members are allowed in this library."

"I say we invite them to pledge." Xavier says. "Shes a legacy" He continues pointing at a picture of a younger Gomez and Morticia. "And he can be useful" He adds not knowing about your parents being in the Nightshades as well.

"After the crap she pulled in the Poe Cup, there's no way in hell." Bianca angrily tells Xavier.

"Looks like someones mad they lost" You say as Bianca stares daggers into you.
