UNLIKE WEDNESDAY, I HAD NEVER BEEN KIDNAPPED BEFORE. Panic surged through me as the bag was yanked off my head. My eyes adjusted to the dim light, and I found myself encircled by hooded figures. Their silent presence was suffocating, their stares drilling into me from the shadows.
I glanced at Wednesday, who seemed utterly unfazed. Her eyes scanned each figure with a cold, calculating precision, like a predator sizing up its prey.
"Who dares breach our inner sanctum?" a deep, distorted voice intoned, echoing ominously in the cavernous space.
Without missing a beat, Wednesday replied, her tone as sharp as a blade. "You can drop the theatrics, Bianca."
The hooded leader stiffened, then begrudgingly removed her mask, revealing Bianca's unmistakable face. I frowned, my disbelief spilling out in a muttered, "Wait, I preferred you with it on."
Bianca's jaw tightened, but before she could retort, another familiar voice cut through. "Damn, I knew that voice sounded familiar." My head snapped toward the source, and my stomach sank.
"Xavier?" I blurted, glaring at my brother. "This is where you've been hanging out?"
He avoided my gaze, shifting uncomfortably. "How did you even get here?" he asked, his voice laced with irritation.
"Rowan showed me" Wednesday replied coolly, fishing a folded picture from her pocket. "Left pocket."
Xavier snatched it, frowning as he examined it. "I tracked the watermark to the Poe statue. Then I solved the riddle."
"Wait, there's a riddle? I thought we just snapped twice" Kent spoke up with a confused look.
Wednesday's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "And they say chivalry is dead. Clearly, intelligence followed."
"Great, i've been kidnapped by a bunch of juvenile highschool clowns. I'm not surprised you're here too Ajax" i scoffed leaning back. Ajax looked over at me with a disapproving glance as Bianca began explaining what exactly they were.
"The Nightshades are an elite social club" she declared, her tone dripping with self-importance. "Emphasis on elite."
"Yeah, we throw epic roof parties, campouts, even midnight skinny-dipping" Yoko chimed in, a smug grin spreading across her face.
"And Yoko's an amateur mixologist. She makes a killer virgin mojito" Ajax added, his enthusiasm almost comical.
I snorted. "Wow. An amateur bartender and campouts? Truly groundbreaking."
