"Here" She states trying to wipe it off but being a head shorter than he is made it difficult, Ajax seeing her struggle a little picked her up by her waist and set her on the bathroom counter before standing between her legs "Thanks" She whispered gently wiping his makeup off, he gave her a lopsided smile

After a few minutes Elvira finally got his makeup off making them smile "Thank you angel" He muttered into her neck as he hugged her "It's no problem Jax" Elvira jumps off the counter and back into the main room where the twins are sitting in talking, the duo joining them before leaving for the night

"Sup Yoko" Elvira greeted her friend, Yoko got out of the infirmary during lunchtime and was doing much better "Hey Ria" Yoko greeted, Elvira pulled out a blood bag and drank it before changing into her pjs and going to sleep, waking up when the wards around the room signaled someone either entered or left, groaning tiredly she looked to her right and saw Yoko gone

"I'm too tired for this" Elvira muttered going back to sleep only to be woken up by a knock on her door, muttering angrily she flings the door open "What" She hissed at the person on the other side barring her fangs "I would like you to accompany me some where" Wednesday answered not fazed by her Fangs "Alright fine let me put my shoes on" Elvira waves tiredly "Jesus I just want to sleep" She whines lightly putting on her slides

Unrolling her sweatshirt from its tucked in position Elvira walks out with Wednesday after closing her door, walking down the halls and to the Edgar Allan Poe statue they were by early, they both looked at it before Wednesday climbs on his statue reading his book

"The opposite of the moon" She whispers "The sun" Elvira answered "A world between our, Neither" Wednesday states "Two months before June" Wednesday tells her "April" She answered Wednesday writing it down "A self seeding flower" Wednesday reads "Pansy" They say together "One more then one" She reads "Two" Elvira answer

"Its leaves weep to the ground" She continues "Willow" Elvira states "It melts in the sun, Ice" Wednesday states "Its beginning and end never found" Wednesday reads "Circle" They answer "Every rule has one" Wednesday reads "Exception" Wednesday answer hoping down the statue and showing Elvira her notebook

The circled letters read snap twice, so doing what it states both girls snap twice, they watch as the bird on Edgar Allan Poe slowly flaps down, the statue then begins to slowly slide backward revealing a secret pathway, the girls look at each other before walking in and down the steps, pictures of previous alumni lining the wall making it to the ground floor Wednesday shines her light around illuminating all the bookcases

Then they were covered in darkness, "Ugh" Elvira groans when the bag that was covering her face is whipped off her head, she blinks her eyes at the sudden light before looking around while untying the rope around her wrists "Who dares breech our inner sanctum" A voice asks Elvira rolls her eyes of course it's Bianca "You can take the mask off Bianca" Wednesday deadpanned

Bianca sighs turning off the light before everybody takes off their mask, Elvira looks around to see all her friends minus Enid her crush, and some random kid "Wait I preferred you with it on" Elvira stated getting a sarcastic smile "How did you get down here" Xavier asks "Rowan showed me" "The stairs" Wednesday and Elvira answer

"Left pocket" Wednesday nods to it, Xavier looks around before walking towards her and taking out the picture "I tracked the watermark to the Poe statue where I figured out the riddle" Wednesday explains while Elvira tried to stay awake "Wait there's a riddle I thought we just snapped twice" Kent asks confused getting a confused look from Elvira and sighs from the group

"Aren't you the brightest in the bunch" Wednesday retorts "The nightshades are an elite social club emphasis on elite" Bianca states "We have roof parties, camp outs the occasional midnight skinny dip" Yoko said "And Yokos an amateur mixologist" Divina states smiling "She makes a killer virgin mojito it can get pretty wild" Ajax pipes up

"Wow do you guys even have a bedtime" Wednesday gasps sarcastically "Last I heard the nightshades had been disbanded" Wednesday said "Yeah the group kinda lost its charter 30 years ago when some normie kid died" Xavier states "But we have" Yoko was cut off by Elvira's phone ringing with a groan she answers it "How'd she get out" Bianca asks getting the middle finger in return

"What" She snapped all she wanted was sleep "Excuse me" The voice on the other side ask, Elvira laughed nervously "Auntie Maze how are you" She asked as the others watch her "I'll let that slide since you sound tired as fuck but I wanted you to know your grandfather and uncle and I while be visiting as well" She informs Elvira pauses in shock "Wha why, I mean not that I'm not happy but why" Elvira rushed

"Because we missed you kid and Lucy's been babbling about this boy you like and we wanna meet him" Maze answered, Elvira gasps "I don't like a boy" She shouted anxiously with a blush "Thats a lie and your Uncle Kol already told us" Maze answered smugly "That traitor" Elvira states "Mhm so I just wanted to let you know maybe give him a heads up and whatever" Maze said

"Ok, ok fine" Elvira sighs "Ha so you do like a boy" Maze yells triumphantly "Bye Aunt Maze" Elvira states hanging up on her cackling aunt "What" Elvira snaps at the people looking at her making them look away besides Ajax who raised a brow making her cross her arms and looks away "What are we going to do with them only members are allowed in this library" Bianca asks looking around after a silent pause

Everybody looked around "I say we invite them to pledge" Xavier answered getting shocked looks "I mean she is legacy and her Father literally made the nightshades" Xavier elaborated pointing to a picture of Wednesday's parents and then another of Elvira's father

"After the crap they pulled in the Poe Cup there's no way in hell we talk about not making waves they're a tsunami" Bianca denies "Just because we beat you at your own game" Elvira states "Let me save you the trouble we don't plan on joining" Wednesday tells them getting a nod from Elvira

"Your seriously turning us down" Yoko asks in disbelief "Can you believe it" Wednesday asks in mock surprise "Yea sorry yall are cool besides Bianca and I don't wanna spend my extra time with her" Elvira shrugs "Untie her" Bianca demands pointing to Wednesday "I freed myself five minutes ago" Wednesday reveals holding up the rope that was used to tie her arms

Wednesday stands up turns to Xavier and takes the picture back she goes to walk back upstairs when Kent gets in her way "Do you want a matching black eye" She asks shoving the rope in his chest and pushing him away, walking up the stairs she pauses "Its amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name" She said angrily before continuing up the steps

Once she was gone Elvira stood up handing Xavier a piece of paper with numbers on it "What's this" He asks his friend "Rowan's new number" Elvira told him "Call him I know you miss him" She smiles "But Wednesday said Rowan died" Bianca pipes up "Even if we don't believe her" She adds Elvira nodded "He was or would have been" She answered before taking her friends and Bianca into a memory

The group could see Elvira slip away from Ajax heading to the bathroom "That was during the festival" Ajax points out getting a nod the group watched Elvira speed and intercept Rowan taking him somewhere else "What what are you doing" Rowan asked shakily from being moved so fast "Saving you" Elvira answers "You are going to go to LA there you will find a club named Lux find the bartender and say Elvira sent you once you get there they should help you" Elvira compels him making Rowan repeat the words monotoned

"You won't contact any of your family and only talk to people who have your new phone number" Elvira compels, Rowan repeats the words Elvira puts her fingers on his temples and removes all the dark energy consuming him due to his power and his mother's words "Now go and don't be seen" Elvira states, Rowan nods before running away

The group watches as Elvira glamor herself to look like Rowan before running towards the way bumping into Wednesday who runs after him, they watch as they have a muted conversation before a blurry thing taller than both Wednesday and Elvira combined kills Rowans

The group is shocked by what they saw and they don't say anything "Call him he's been excited to hear from you especially since he's been doing better" Elvira tells Xavier before spelling the room whatever was shown stays in the room as well as Rowan being alive if they try to talk about it outside of the Nightshade room they would automatically forget about it and when they see Elvira it would come back until she walks away

With that, Elvira leaves a shocked group behind going to her room to get some much wanted and needed sleep
