CONFUSED WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I stood frozen, trying to process the chaos unfolding before me. Nevermore had always been a place of mystery, but this? This was something else entirely. How had no one seen who had dared to do this? Who had the audacity, and the skill, to craft that enormous sign without raising a single suspicion? Impossible. No way the whole academy could have been out at once. Even on outreach days, a few souls remained within these walls, always. Always.
Principal Weems, her face pale with frustration, hurried down the hallway, her heels clicking against the stone as she made her way to the source of the madness.
"Who do you think did this?" I murmured, the questions swirling in my mind, as I stood beside Wednesday on the balcony, our eyes still locked on the scene below.
"If I'm being honest, I have no clue. But I'll be determined to find out." Wednesday's voice was calm, but there was a quiet fire behind it. I could see the resolve in her eyes as she spoke, her gaze never wavering.
We stood there for a moment longer, the weight of the mystery hanging in the air. Then, wordlessly, we turned and made our way out of the office, stepping into the bustling halls of Nevermore. The students, frenzied and desperate, dashed in every direction, their hurried footsteps echoing in the silence that had followed the chaos.
When we arrived at Wednesday's dorm and it was pretty awkward to say the least, neither of us had spoken since we started walking. "I appreciate you helping me out with my family, and this case. I hope you're not still of the belief of that theory" she broke the silence.
I paused, considering my words carefully. "I stopped believing it a few days ago. You've been doing too much to keep the school safe, to protect it... not to destroy it." I scoffed, trying to ease the awkwardness that lingered.
She glanced at me, her expression unreadable, before offering a small, rare nod. "Well, I'm glad you're seeing clearly now. I wouldn't want you to end up on the wrong side of things when everything comes to light."
A faint smile tugged at my lips, the rare moment of sincerity from Wednesday throwing me off guard.
"Why? You starting to care about me?" i leaned against her door frame as she walked into the dorm.
"Non-sense." Her voice was almost too quick to dismiss the possibility. "I simply want to make sure no one I—" she faltered, catching herself mid-sentence. Her eyes flickered to the floor before lifting back up to meet mine. "—know of gets hurt."
"So, you accept that we're friends?" I pressed, my heart skipping a beat at the unexpected vulnerability.
Wednesday hesitated for a moment, her usual steely resolve faltering. "If I say that I do, would you promise not to mention it?" Her voice was barely a whisper, like she feared saying the words aloud would make them too real.
