I shouldn't have been curious.

I took Wednesday's words seriously. She was usually never wrong. Plus, my dream had been very real. I hated lying. I really did. Or manipulating people. But, I used my good student privilege, which does help sometimes.

"Surprise! Enid said from behind me. I jump. "Oh Enid! Geesh." "You seem focused, where are you going?" "Uh... I begin, nervously." Library? Nothing you would enjoy." "Well, I have some good news for you, She giggled.

"Good news?"

"You might have some new friends, Enid said happily. I smile. "Lovely, but I'm busy. Maybe once I'm done." She laughed. "Alright, you sound like Wednesday." I look at her.

"For someone who claims you're in love with Ajax, you sure mention her a lot, I tell Enid. She rolled her eyes, but leaves me alone after that. I looked in the library. Was there anything on Hydes?

They had to have something on them here. That's the whole point right? Strange and creepy is Nevermore. God, they must have them. I examine the library. I spend maybe an hour trying to find anything. 

Not much. 

"Shit, I whisper, closing the books, and heading to my class. I can't be late. "Come on! Enid said. I nod, following behind her. Neither of us should be late. "You again, Wednesday said. "I still think there is something going on. I normally like the darkest of things."

"And this is the exception?"

"No, but it's not the kind that is normally mine, Wednesday said. "I like a violent end, a slide of acid, perhaps an axe to-" "I get the picture, I mumble. "Well, Wednesday, shall I join you on your... investigation? I might've found something."

She looks at me. Her eyes dead and tone the same. "What did you find?" I sigh. "I'll tell you when the class is over." She nodded."I hope it's important to wait." "Trust me, it is, I tell her. Wednesday sighed.

After class, she immediately demanded I tell her. "Alright, I begin."You don't know who's killing these people right?" She nodded. "I'm close to-" "Listen to me, I said."What the monster is, is a Hyde. I've got some knowledge on them, Wednesday."

She doesn't even blink.

"A Hyde... She repeated. Did she not know what they were? "Violent creatures, but they've got a specific pattern, I explain. "They're usually triggered by emotions, though they can be random but are also mainly triggered by other things."

After my dream last night, I had to draw it out. I show it to her. "I've seen this monster before, Wednesday said. 

"How?"

"A vision."

She then added," I didn't see the identity, just the monster." "I... dreamt about it, it felt like a vision, though I'm not a psychic, I admit, tracing my fingers along the painting, before I see something again.

It's the carnival. The one that was talked about lately. I hear the carnival music and someone wandering into the woods. 

"Why are you following me?"

"Look, you're in danger-"

A looming monster hovers over, and within seconds, someone is dead.

I sat up back in reality. "You're not a good liar, Wednesday said. "I've never had a vision before, I said. "My power usually sticks with telekinesis. I'm not one, I thought that anyway." A smirk forms on my face.

"Wednesday, do you like carnivals?"

Enid seemed giddy about meeting up as a group to the festival. An idea i mentioned very subtly and briefly. I don't think she knew of my intentions, maybe Wednesday did, though. Despite not fully seeing the person who dies, I had a feeling Wednesday would be involved.

Perhaps, just as a witness, but trouble seems to follow her. Me too, honestly. "So, what should we do first? Enid squealed. "Talk to Wednesday for a second, I say, pulling her aside. It's not hard to do that.

"This is why i brought this up, I said. "For a moment, I thought you'd want to do something as sickening as this, Impressive, Wednesday said. "Ulterior motives is my specialty." "Look, I think i might see the monster here tonight, I tell her. "You might be the one to see it, actually."

She doesn't react. this is good.

"Okay, She finally said. "Who else?" "I'm not sure, I recognized your voice, I explain. "Come on! Enid said. Wednesday then added, "I'd avoid Xavier." "Second warning, got it, i mumbled. Though, should I avoid everyone?

I walk around a little, Wednesday following behind I became used to fast. "(Name)? Tyler said, I was surprised. "Tyler, Hi, I said. "What brings you here?" "It's the Harvest Festival, Tyler laughed. "And my Dad wanted me to come."

"How nice, I joke. "Well, um, glad to see you. I really am." "Me too, He says. Is he blushing a little? I found out it laughable. But against my judgment, I didn't laugh.

I then look back. The others are waiting for me. I groan." I'll see you around, Tyler." He waves and we part ways. But they don't look happy. 

Sort of, Jealous?

Wednesday's was more of a possessive, but also her usual resting face. I couldn't tell. Anyway, I wasn't here for fun per se. I found an entertaining booth, before seeing Rowan. He looks oddly suspicious, and heads for the woods.

"Shit, I mutter. "Wednesday, come on." She follows behind, I more so go for his concern. If the monster is here, Rowan's in danger. But like always, my obliviousness and naivety, would be my downfall.

When was it not?

I head into the woods. "Rowan! I exclaim, Wednesday behind me. " Why are you following me? He asked. "You're in danger, She warned. A smirk forms on his face. "I think you've got it wrong, He said. How fucking stupid was I?

I think Wednesday also had a vision. Perhaps of something similar. Nonetheless, I don't think I'm a psychic. 

It was the exact same as my vision. 

All of a sudden, I'm shoved away, and Wednesday's pressed up against the tree. "What are you doing? Wednesday asked. I felt helpless.

I was frozen. I should do something, but I didn't. Rowan opens his mouth to speak.

"You're destined to destroy the school, I have to end you!"
