"Something bad is 'bout to happen to me,

I don't know what, but I feel it coming"

Ivory was in the middle of a conversation with Xavier, when she was informed that she was supposed to meet Principle Weems in her office at 6 o'clock. The blonde knew it was coming, but it still made her nervous, fearing that she might have angered Principle Weems, or even worse, her parents.

When the students arrived back at Nevermore, Enid and Ajax excused themselves, since they had to get ready for their date. It came as a surprise when the werewolf told Ivory all about it on the ride back home but the blonde was really happy for her friend. Wednesday left without another word and both Yoko and Jaesung were called into the dining hall, since they had prepared blood mixtures for the vampires that couldn't partake in the community lunch.

It left Xavier and Ivory and since the boy had a lot to discuss with the girl, he suggested that they could go sit in the foyer, since there would be close to no-one there and they would have their privacy.

Ivory wasn't quite sure why Xavier was so secretive all of a sudden, but she thought back to their conversation during lunch and decided on giving the boy a chance to talk about what's been clouding his mind lately.

They sat there for more than two hours and Xavier told the girl all about how he got to spend time with Wednesday and how he wasn't so sure that she's been imagining stuff anymore. The fairy couldn't quite follow, since she didn't want to believe that someone was actually killed and that Wednesday had been right all along, but the text messages Xavier showed her seemed odd enough to make her concerned.

"Let me guess you two never went skiing together...", Ivory concluded as Xavier showed her messages that Rowan sent to the boy and they seemed suspicious to say the least. She leant back in her seat and let out a sigh.

"So, you believe Wednesday?", Ivory still wasn't sure of the raven haired girl's intention, of course she thought it was nice of Wednesday to make an effort, but the fairy still remembered how the girl accused her of killing someone just a few days ago.

"Today at the café I overheard Wednesday and Tyler talking before I joined you and Gideon... or Jaesung, whatever his name is, in the booth. She's out in the woods right now and I think I will go look for her. I heard her say that she's trying to find evidence of a monster or something ", Ivory's eyes widened slightly at the revelation that Tyler was in on the whole thing and that he had been talking to Wednesday about this.

The second thing that worried her was that Wednesday went from accusing people to saying it was a monster that killed Rowan. If he was killed in the first place, Ivory couldn't quite believe it yet. She didn't know how much trust she should put into Wednesday's words.

The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Xavier sceptically.

"Look, as much as you believe this is all just a bad joke, the way "Rowan" has been texting and how convinced Wednesday is of this whole theory... it made me doubt if we should just take this as lightly as we do. If Wednesday is right, this means we are all in danger. Just think about it"
