Wednesday's mind: Usually, I love dark turns.Like when the carousel brakes mysteriously failed at my eighth birthday party.But not this one.

"Ho-ly-" Said Divina.

"Don't start." Said Yoko.

"Shit." Said Divina.

Dogs: *barks*

Ritchie: *sighs*We've been searching for hours, Sheriff.The dogs need a break.Think we missed something?

Sheriff: I say we double back, sweep Collet Creek, and then call it a night.

Ritchie: Okay.

---------------------------------------------

Wednesday: How could you miss a dead body?

Sheriff: 'Cause it wasn't there.No footprints, no blood, no sign of a struggle. Nothing, nada.My search party looked all night.

"Uh...Idk what to say right now..." Said Enid.

Wednesday: Well, your search party must have left their seeing-eye dogs at home.I saw that monster kill Rowan right in front of me.

sheriff: Get a good look at this monster thing?

Wednesday: It didn't stick around for a chat.

"Obviously, old man." Said Yoko.

"Stop calling me that!" Complained the sheriff.

"Stop fighting." I said, glaring at Yoko because she got into every single fight here.

Sheriff: Maybe it was one of your classmates.

Weems: Sheriff, I find that question offensive.

Sheriff: I don't care, 'cause I got three other dead bodies in the morgue.Hikers just ripped apart in the woods.

Weems: The mayor said those were bear attacks.

Sheriff: Well, the mayor and I disagree on that.

"You said it was a 'goddamn bear'!" complained a student.

Weems: So you automatically assume a Nevermore student is the murderer, even though there's no evidence a crime was even committed.

Sheriff: I'm sorry. I forgot, you only teach the good outcasts here, right?

Weems: *sighs* My guess is Rowan ran away.State troopers have put out an alert, and I've contacted his family, but they haven't heard from him either.

Wednesday: Dead people are notoriously bad at returning calls.

"Very correct Wednesday!" Said someone.

"Uh..." Wednesday had no idea what to say.

Weems: What were you doing out in the woods with him, Ms. Addams?

Wednesday: I heard a noise in the forest and went to go investigate.That's when I stumbled upon the attack.

sheriff: Then what happened?

Wednesday: Then I ran into Bianca Barclay, and I told her to go for help.Next thing I remember, I was awaking in my dorm.

"Who carried you?" asked someone.

"I had passed out. how would I know?" asked Wednesday.

Sheriff: And just to be clear, this monster wasn't a bear or some other wild animal?
