CHAPTER NINE
“WHERE'S YOUR DATE?”IT WAS LATER IN THE DAY AND WEDNESDAY HAD managed to get rid of her Rave’N dance date by claiming he was the monster in the woods and got Sheriff Galpin to submit a forensics form on the bloody cloth she had found inside Xavier’s art studio. Today had been somewhat of a reminder that she worked faster alone, but despite that fact, she couldn’t help feeling that there had been something missing during the entire investigation.
Wednesday walked through Nevermore’s halls, not entirely sure where she was headed. She noticed her eyes keep drifting, watching every group of students that walked past her avidly, absent-mindedly searching for a tall, blonde Phoenix. Every time she realized she was losing her focus, she would clear her throat and set her eyes back in front of her, but a couple seconds later, she would be back to looking again. It was beginning to get rather annoying. She’d rather Helia would just be by her side so she could keep her mind on the investigation again.
The girl made her way into the quad, seeing some normie workers setting up the Rave’N up the steps, white, jagged trees being set up on either side of the main doors. She averted her eyes to the fountain, finding Eugene sitting on the edge of it. His head was bowed, a pensive, upset look on his face and his hands clasped in his lap.
“Why so glum?” Wednesday asked, stopping a few feet in front of him.
He raised his head with a frown. “Saw Helia at lunch. Asked if she got my honey.”
Wednesday raised her eyebrows. “You’ve seen Helia?”
