TW⚠️: Mentions of suicide and a slightly depressing scene. 

Authors note: Listen to the song at the top, it'll help you understand the first scene and the feelings a little better, Mayonaiseislife wanted me to tell you that. 

Wednesday's POV

Anti-climactic would be the one word I would use to describe the cello playing outside in the Quad, it was soulful, eerie, and beautiful... and I needed to see who was playing such a melody. 

My footsteps felt quick but not fast enough as the song grew intense, like I was running out of time, my heart was hammering and my palms felt sweaty, it was almost unbearable, how could someone play with so much soul? But then...

It slowed, my steps becoming much calmer as I descended the staircase, the notes were still ringing all across Nevermore's halls, but I didn't have time to appreciate it the way I had hoped to, it was dimming, the song was almost at an end... or was it? Either way, I needed to see who was playing it. 

So, with a berated breath, I break out into a sprint, my heart heavy with anticipation as the pillars of the Quad rush past me like a blur, my eyes focused on a dark silhouette, they were the ones playing the instrument, they sat in a chair, their body swaying with the rhythm their hands were masterfully producing as they seemed to be lost... trapped in the music.

Everything felt so tense like I only had one shot, one chance to glance at who was in front of me but my feet only just managed to lead me into the centre of the Quad as the music stopped so distastefully as it had begun, the song not finished, and my heart sunk as the person comes to a slow, almost sluggish stand, their back turned to me as they look up at the night sky, a full moon. 

Then just as I was about to call out to them their head snapped in my direction and the wind was taken out of me as I came to a halt, frozen in place as their... no... her... red fluorescent eyes shone in the moonlight, an almost melancholy smile on her face before she was gone in a blink, not other movement made by her or me, it was just like she vanished into thin air...

"I know what I saw Enid," The Raveonette huffs, pacing back and forth in her dorm as she tries to explain her paranormal sighting to her roommate who was having a hard time believing what the young Addams was describing. "She was there, could you really not hear the cello?" She questions, growing more frustrated after repeating herself at least three times to the werewolf who remained sitting cross-legged on her brightly coloured bed, cuddling her giraffe plush as she watched her roommate stress out. 

"I thought that was you," the blonde shrugs, "You always play at night," she reasons, trying to drift back off to sleep, it was Saturday, Enid's sleep-in day and Wednesday was currently interrupting that. 

"But do I have red eyes, Sinclair?" She grumbles, picking at her nails, trying to make what happened last night make sense to her and her bubbly roommate. 

"No, you have beautiful black eyes, like your soul," the taller girl yawns, covering her mouth as she does so, not minding the death stare the braided-haired girl gave her as she wanders back and forth. 

"Flattery doesn't work on me, nor will it let you go back to sleep," she says harshly, making the girl on the bed whine as she flops back onto her mattress, just wanting to sleep, "It's only 9 AM, you're lucky I didn't wake you when I first saw the girl." She grumbles.
