After receiving their trophie and such, Vada is in her room, curled up under her covers as she watches a horror movie. Enid is calling her siblings and friends outside of Nevermore to tell them about the Poe Cup.

The door swings open as Wednesday walks in, going straight to Vada. She pulls the covers off of the girl, earning a yell of protest as she pulls her headphones down around her neck. "Wednesday, what the hell?" She asks.

"I know where to find the book." She says in response. "I need your assistance."

Vada groans quietly but gets up. "Fine. Fine, but i'm not gonna stay out late. I'm tired and I was almost to the big massacre part of my movie." She explains.

"Massacres /are/ the best part." Wednesday says in approval as she walks down the hall with Vada following shortly behind. They go to the Edger Allen Poe statue and Wednesday reads the book. "Get a pen."

Vada digs around and grabs a paper and pen. Wednesday begins to say a riddle. "The opposite of moon.. sun. Write down Sun." She says. Vada does as told.

Wednesday reads silently now. "Nether. April. Pansy. Two. Willow. Ice. Circle. Exception." She lists off.

Vada writes them all in a list, tilting her head before circling the first letter of each word. "Snap twice?"

Wednesday faintly smirks and steps down, standing in front of the statue as she snaps twice. It opens to reveal a hidden room of sorts. The two girls walk down the concrete steps into a hidden library.

Wednesday walks to a bookshelf and sees a layer of dust removed from in front of one book. She pulls it out and looks through it, a page ripped from it, the second half of the drawing that Rowan had shown her.

Wednesday passes the book to Vada. "Put it in my backpack." She says. Vada takes the book and puts it in her bag quickly.

"Come on, I wanna get outta here." Vada says softly. They both turn and head for the exit. A bag is placed over each of their heads and they are grabbed, pulled different ways.

Their wrists were tied roughly. Vada winces from inside the bag. The bags are taken off as Wednesday and Vada quickly look for one another.

About seven cloaked figures are standing around them with flashlights pointing in their faces. "Who dares breach our inner sanctum?" A voice asks.

Vada rolls her eyes. "Your mom." She snaps out in annoyance. "Take the mask off, Bianca."

Wednesday smirks and nods. "Please, do."

The group begin to unhood themselves and take their masks off. Wednesday smirks at Bianca. "Wait, I preferred you with it on."

Bianca rolls her eyes. Xavier speaks up. "How did you get down here?"

"Rowan showed me." Wednesday lies calmly. She nodded towards her pocket. "Left pocket."

Xavier takes the drawing out of her pocket and looks it over.

"We tracked the symbol to the statue, then solved the riddle." Wednesday says. One of the boys look confused. "There's a riddle? I thought we just snapped twice?"
