Wednesday's POV:

Let's assess, shall we? Bag over my head for optimal disorientation, wrists tied tight enough to cut off circulation, and no idea if I'm going to live or die. It's definitely my kind of party.

"Who dares breach our inner sanctum?" A voice demands from somewhere in front of me.

"You can take the mask off, Bianco." And just like that, my hopes were dashed against the rocks of bitter disappointment. My foe was no psychotic killer. More like a bunch of high school clowns. I look around and saw Xaviera, Alder, Yoko, Davina, Kent, and.. my (Y/n)..

"Wait, I preferred you with it on." I say glaring at Bianco.

(Y/n) is refusing to meet my eyes. Good.

"How did you get down here?" Bianco asks.

"Rowan showed me. Left pocket." I tell (Y/n) when she comes to search me.

"I tracked the watermark to the Poe statue. Then I solved the riddle." I tell them.

"Wait, there's a riddle? I thought we just snapped twice." The siren Kent says.

"Well, aren't you the brightest in the bunch?" I say sarcastically.

"The Nightshades are an elite social club. Emphasis on elite. We have roof parties, campouts, the occasional midnight skinny-dip." Bianco goes on to say.

"And Yoko's an amateur mixologist. She makes a killer virgin mojito." Alder cuts in.

"It can get pretty wild." Xaviera chuckles.

"Wow. Do you guys even have a bedtime?" I say sarcastically still staring right at my little minx who kept a secret from me. "Last I heard, the Nightshades had been disbanded."

"Yeah, the group kind of lost its charter 30 years ago after some normie kid died." Bianco explains.

"But we have a lot of wealthy alumni, so Weems looks the other way as long as nobody makes any waves."

"Someone like Rowan?" I ask finally taking my eyes away from (Y/n).

"We booted that loser last semester. Question is, what are we gonna do with him?" Bianco asked. "Only members are allowed in this library."

"I say we invite him to pledge." (Y/n) says.

"He is a legacy." Xaviera adds pointing to the picture of my judgmental parents.

"After the crap he pulled in the Poe Cup, there's no way on earth. We talk about not making waves? He's a tsunami!" Bianco argues.

"Just because I beat you at your own game?" I ask with a smirk. "Let me save you the trouble. I'm not interested in joining."

"You're seriously turning us down?" Yoko says.

"Can you believe it?" I ask sarcastically.

"Untie him." Bianco ordered.

"I freed myself five minutes ago." I say getting up.

I walk over to (Y/n), grab her wrist, but not tight enough to harm her and pull her with me.

"Do you want a matching black eye?" I say to the siren who steps in front of me.

"It's amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name." I say as I walk up the stairs.

"Wednesday, let me ex.." She starts.

"No." I growl at her.
