Chapter 2: Sending a Message

——————————🕷️——————————

Enid looked out a window down at the entrance of the school where he saw Bruno and Sophia piling into a car.

As the car drove off, Ajax came up to Enid. "I'm sorry. You deserve better than that."

"I didn't realize we were back on speaking terms."

He shrugged. "Well, it took me a minute. But I'm ready to be friends. If that's cool with you."

Enid smiled. "I'd like that very much. Why the change of heart?"

"I realized that our breakup wasn't about me. You know, it's nobody's fault that your feelings changed. So I can either be angry about it, or I can just accept it and move on...Actually Bianca told me that." He confessed. "She can be very persuasive."

Enid chuckled and extended her hand out for him to shake and he did. The two stared at each other for a moment, before Ajax walked away, Enid's eyes trailing after him.

Agnes suddenly appeared in front of her, making her jump in surprise.

"Please tell me you're done with lying werewolves and beta-gorgons." She held up a list of names. "I put together a list of potential boyfriends. I already cross-referenced them based on compatible social media profiles. Once you narrowed it down, I can pay each one an invisible visit. See what they've left out of their bios." She offered.

Enid grinned. "I appreciate the assist, but I think I'm gonna take a break from romance."

The two girls shared a smile, agreeing that that was probably for the best.

...

Isaac, Francoise, and Tyler have now taken refuge at the Bull Pen cabin out in the woods, now that the bunker under the house had been discovered.

Pugsley sat in a chair, chained up and gagged while (Y/n) was tied to her own chair a few feet away, still in her dress from the gala.

"It's not very fun to be tied up and treated like a pet, is it?" Isaac asked Pugsley, pulling the gag out of his mouth. "Mystery meat sandwich, your favorite." He picked up a sandwich and shoved it into Pugsley's mouth.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" (Y/n) yelled.

Isaac turned to her. "You might want to conserve that anger. I'm going to need it."

Francoise stood by the mirror, looking over the family photos attached to it. "I wish I was in at least one of these pictures." She said sadly.

Isaac came over to her. "You know, I never understood your desire for a Normie life. But...knowing what Stonehurst did to you in that lab..."

Francoise shrugged. "Neither of us got the end that we deserved."

"That changes tonight..."

"Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll do it." Francoise reminded him. "What we discussed. I need your word."

Before Isaac could reply, the door to the cabin opened and Tyler walked in. "Made Hyde tracks 20 miles north, and dumped Pugsley's costume, then made an anonymous tip like you said."
