I make my way over to the dining hall finding only a couple of students given the early time. I sigh finding that most of them were simply acquaintances so I had no one to sit with.

"Dahlia" I squeal turning to look behind me to where the low voice came from.

"Wednesday, don't just sneak up on me!" I whine, heading over to a cooking station. "You want some tea, I'm not really hungry" Wednesday nods, sitting down at a nearby table. Everyone was sitting a few feet away from us so we were able to talk about anything we needed to without eavesdropping.

"What's the drawing Rowan gave you? You never showed me" Wednesday reaches into her bag grabbing a folded piece of paper. She moves it over in front of me so I could get a good view. "Why the hell are you in the drawing? And why is the quad on fire in the back?"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. I went earlier to investigate" Wednesday pauses, reaching back into her bag. She pulls out a pair of glasses, and I soon realize they are Rowans. "I found them back where he tried to kill me, I knew it was a coverup"

"What the hell were you doing back there?"

"I told you investigating"

"But, should you really be doing that, with the monster still out there?"

"We need to find out what this picture means"

"Wow, we need to? I am shocked" I giggle, grabbing the two mugs of tea. "Okay, here you go" I place the mugs down and sit across from Wednesday.

"I keep seeing this purple book"

"What do you mean? As in like visions?" Wednesday nods reluctantly, bringing the drawing back to my attention. "Why didn't you tell me about the visions"

"Why didn't you tell me about the dream manipulation?"

"Good point" I mutter, taking a sip from my tea, Wednesday doing the same.

"What's in this tea?"

"Some natural herbs and stuff that I got back home, very classic witch stuff"

"It tastes awful"

"Oh, I think you got the wrong one" I grab her cup switching it out with mine. "Mines got some special...liquid"

"And by special you mean?"

"Rum, duh" I laugh, taking another sip from my mug. "So, what else do we know about our investigation?"

"I haven't been able to do much given that Principal Weems has been watching my every move"

"Well, if you need any help whenever except tomorrow night I am free." I smile, thinking of my plans for the following night.

"Because of your date with Xavier?" I almost spit out my sip of tea by Wednesday's bluntness, coughing softly.

"It's not a date it's just...an apology of sorts, and how do you even know about it?"

"Thing told me"

"Even though he's an appendage he really can't keep his mouth shut" I scoff, laughing softly.

"Well, I have to get back to my dorm" Wednesday grabs all of her belongings, leaving her full mug behind.

"Of course, wouldn't want to cut into your writing time" I smirk, getting up as well. "Besides, I am going to go find out about the Poe Cup" Wednesday nods, leaving the dining hall. I gather my things up, take a last sip from my tea and start my way back to my dorm.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ

"Yoko!"  I open the door to my dorm room, but all that greets me is an empty space. "Damn" I mutter, making my way over to my bed. I realize that she was most likely at the dining hall with Enid, so I was alone. I drop my things by the door and make my way over to my bed sitting down.

"Well, then which one should I choose..." I whisper to myself, skimming over the spines of my various books resting on my bookshelf. I stop as I reach the perfect book, Frankenstein. This was both my and Wednesday's favourite book. I started reading from where my bookmark was.

Suddenly, my crystal ball lights up, catching me off guard. I place the book down and head over to my desk where I had decided it would go.

"Hi Dahlia, how are you doing?" It was my mother who stood right beside Father and Pugsley.

"Hey, I'm good, just reading and stuff" I sigh, bringing my knees up to my chest. "How are things over there?"

"They are as terrible as ever"

"Wow, not missing me?" I laugh, a smile appearing on Mother's face. "Pugsley hows school?"

"It's okay, it would be better if you were still here"

"I know but parents' weekend is soon, we'll spend that together promise" I smile gently at my younger brother, somewhat frustrated with the circumstances. Suddenly a knock came on my door.

"Hey, guys I have to get going, I'll message you soon okay?" Father nods and they all bid a quick goodbye. The crystal ball goes back to its bright blue aura as I head over to the door.

I am met with Wednesday, her usual dull expression on her face.

"Hey Hermanita, what are you doing here? Didn't you have writing to do?"

"Thing and I are going to investigate Xavier's dorm for information about the drawing Rowan showed me, are you coming?"

"Uh, I don't know if that's a good idea, it seems like an invasion of privacy,"

"Well if you don't feel like finding out what this means..." She lets her sentence drift off, turning away. She knew how to push my buttons.

"Actually, let's do it" I grab my coat sitting on my bed, following after Wednesday.
