Melody Of Her Heart

Nevermore Academy always smelled of stone, candle smoke, and secrets. Its spires clawed at the sky like blackened fingers, and the corridors whispered when no one walked them.

Katherine Addams returned with the same careful poise she had carried as a girl, though the weight of years and experience had sharpened her edges. She had come back for Wednesday-her niece-and for the chaos that accompanied the girl's growing psychic power.

Music floated down the halls, delicate and dangerous, threading through the shadows. Katherine paused, noting the source before the musician saw her. She didn't expect anyone to play at this hour... and certainly not with such intent, such awareness.

When their eyes met, something unspoken passed between them-curiosity, challenge, a spark that neither wanted to acknowledge. Katherine had one purpose: to protect her niece. Isadora Capri, the new music instructor, had a different one entirely. And already, Katherine knew... this woman would not make it easy.
