Chapter 6: Agnes DeMille

——————————🕷️——————————

Enid grunted as she slowly regained consciousness. She blinked and looked around, noticing that she was tied to a chair with chains.

"Bruno? (Y/n)?" She called with panic.

"Enid?" (Y/n) muttered.

She, (Y/n), and Bruno were tied back to back in was looked like a run down clock tower.

"Where are we?" Bruno asked with a groan.

"I think we're in Iago Tower." Enid deduced from their surroundings.

"Doesn't look like anyone's been up here in a long time." Bruno noticed.

"They closed it off years ago after it was damaged in some freak electrical storm." (Y/n) told him.

"Who would do this to us?" Bruno asked with confusion and disbelief.

Enid sighed. "Okay Ajax. Great prank. You can let us go now...Ajax?!"

"Uh, Enid...I don't think this is a prank." (Y/n) realized.

Enid turned to her and followed her gaze upwards to reveal an enter ceiling full of knives pointing right at them.

...

Wednesday speed walked through the quad, and ran into Miss Capri.

"Wednesday? What are you doing out here?" She asked.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend and her roommate." He replied.

"That's a coincidence, I've been looking for you. I'm putting together an orchestra for the gala. I'd like you to play cello." She offered.

"I don't have time for this right now." Wednesday stated bluntly. "And besides, when you heard me play, you were hardly complimentary."

"Oh, come on. All I was saying was if you want to be great, let the music control you. Otherwise, you'll just be...playing notes. Mechanical. Rehearsal 3:00pm Friday. I hope to see you there." She said.

Once Miss Capri walked away, Wednesday pulled out the card again and stared at the words.

"These aren't letters. They're notes." He realized.

...

Wednesday walked into the music room and stared at the giant organ against the back wall. He pulled out the card and looked at the heart on the front of it.

"The heart is an organ." He sat at the bench and played the notes D-E-A-D one at a time. But nothing happened. "I'll try them all together." He played the four notes all at once, and heard something click. A small door opened at the side of the organ and he crawled in. "Let's go."

...

"Ugh, if only there was a full moon, we'd be out of here in no time." Enid complained. "I'm really sorry about this, Bruno."

Bruno looked a bit confused at her apology. "This isn't your fault."

"Well, whatever's going on here is clearly connected to my friend. He's like this dark North Star for psycho killers." Enid explained.
