It would be an entire day later when Nyx would have to catch herself before she believed she had truly lost her mind. For, as clear as anything to as large a crowd which could have possibly accumulated within the boarding school walked the boy she had been so sure she had witnessed the death of. Rowan had returned to the school, clearly walking and breathing to collect his belongings and head back to his parents apparently freaked about the reporting of his death. 

Or had he?

Nyx had gathered from the second Rowan had walked through the front doors that something was off. Something more than the clear memory she had of him having being ripped into by the unidentified monster. And so she did what she did best, used her abilities to pry into his personal life. A tiny wave was enough to clock the aura's of not just Rowan but the majority of the other students around her. But Nyx was only interested in the one, and it was not the one she had expected to see. Nor was it the aura she knew to belong to Rowan. She had never witnessed someone's aura change so drastically before in such a little amount of time. And that was enough to convince Nyx that who she was seeing was not Rowan. That her brain had been correct in recalling events and therefore, whilst the rest of the student body stood in awe of seeing someone they had been told was dead walking through the school, she walked away. No longer interested in the act they were being shown. And much more interested in finally catching up to her sister, and the hideaway the older girl had not had the audacity to share. 

Wednesday had been once again relatively easy to hunt out, for someone who wanted to run away so desperately she was easily found. The girl had taken to her room in protest of 'Rowan' returning to the school. And Nyx had quickly found her sister sat upon a bed talking to the air. Something that was not completely out of character for Wednesday considering she was going for the whole mysterious loner thing, but considering it was a developed conversation it seemed a little too far. That was until she spotted a family scarred finger from afar. And realised just what else her sister had been hiding from her. 

"Lovely to know you remain keeping more and more secrets from me sister." Nyx announced her presence. Wednesday turned to look at her sister no hint of remorse, disappointment or shame in having been caught, not that Nyx expected it. Yet she did enjoy the odd surprise every once and again. 

"Sister."

"Drop him off at my room when you have finished. Thing and I have some catching up to do." Nyx would wave her sister off allowing her time to continue to mope around in her bedroom obviously acting rather upset by the news that what she had believed was indeed not true. She would leave her sister to the mystery board of which took proud centre of the shared dorm space. knowing full well that it was not something she wanted to focus on in that moment. Nyx had other things to focus on, much more trivial teenaged things for sure but nevertheless.
