Yoko, Divina, Kent, and Eugene were playing Go Fish while in Wednesday and Enid's dorm. They were sat on Enid's side of the empty room, the Addams having packed up and taken both girls stuff already. They even packed up and took Wanda's. "When do you think they'll be back?" Eugene asked. "It's already been a day and a half."

Kent shrugged. "Who knows. Div, you have any threes?"

"Go fish," she told him, making him draw a card. "I just hope they're okay. Like I want them to save Wanda, but if all else fails, I just want them to come back alive. Babe, have any fives?"

"Go fish," Yoko answered. "I'm sure they'll be fine. They've got Addams with them."

Divina looked at her surprised. "Wow, no jo—"

"She has home field advantage."

"And there it is."

She smirked. "Kent, got any threes?"

"Damnit!" He reluctantly gave her his cards. "How do I always—Ahh!" He shouted in surprise as four people appeared in the ritual circle with a burst of fire. The others turned to look at them startled before all smiling and standing up, discarding their game of Go Fish.

"You're back!" They shouted happily together.

Wednesday looked down at her hands before around the room. This was indeed her dorm. All their friends were here, but there was no... "We gotta get to the morgue!" She ran forward, kicking one of the items maintaining the gate to hell away so it closed and returned to normal flooring.

The others quickly followed, Kent asking, "Why?"

"Because that's where Wanda is!" Enid answered.

"Hell yeah!" Yoko exclaimed. They all thundered down the stairs of Ophelia hall and toward the gates of the school. 

While running, Eugene decided to ask, "What's with the weapons?"

"It's a long story," Bianca answered.

"We'll tell you later," Ajax assured. "We gotta get to Wanda!"

Wanda woke up in her body with a gasp for air as her eyes shot open. It was dark and cold and she could feel the metal on her back. She reached up with her hands but touched metal. She was in the mortuary cabinets in the morgue. She reached above her head toward the door and pushed on it. But it wouldn't open.

"Rats." Okay, maybe she can just use her magic to escape. She should still have it, right? "Dimensio ostium." The blue door opened beneath and she fell through, landing on the floor in the morgue with a smack and groan. "Ow." She pushed herself to her feet, holding the white sheet over her naked body. She looked around and saw Hilda dressed by the cabinets. "Hilda!" She ran over to hug her but instead stumbled through her and smacked into the metal cabinets. "Ow," she groaned again. She forgot she's not wearing her eyepatch.

"Wanda!" Hilda shouted from inside one of the cabinets, making it sound muffled. "Is that you! Can you get me out!" With Arkno dead, their pact was nulled and she didn't have magic anymore.

"On it." Wanda rubbed her forehead and stepped back so she could look at the cabinets. Then she began opening then at random until she found Hilda's. She pulled the rolling tray out and helped Hilda sit up before hugging her with one arm, the other holding up the white sheet. "We're alive!"

Hilda hugged back with one arm as well and looked down at her slightly paler skin tone. "Mostly anyway."

Wanda pulled back and looked into Hilda's blood red left eye and glowing white right one. "I guess you're still a vampire, huh? But hey, look on the bright side. Your aging is slowed too which means we'll have plenty of time to make up for...well...lost time."
