"Literally nobody knows who you are." Sadie says with her arms crossed

"That's impossible." The monster mutters

"I'll check on Raf." Dr Saltzman says, leaving

"If you want an end to this misery, simply bring me the knife and I'll be on my way..." The monster says

"Hope! Sarah!" Dr Saltzman calls

Hope turns around and leaves

Sadie gives the monster a glare before leaving the room as well

Sadie catches up with Dr Saltzman and Hope in the hallway

"I take it things aren't going well?" Hope says

"He's a diva." Dr Saltzman says

"So what's the plan?" Hope asks. "I know you don't want to give over the knife, but we can't have him raising the lost loved ones of every person in this school."

"I will handle it." Dr Saltzman says. "I have questions that need answers."

"Okay, well, I'm not sure your methods are the most effective." Hope says

"Hope. I said I will handle it." Dr Saltzman says, stopping her. "Now, just stay away from him."

Dr Saltzman walks away

Sadie looks to Hope

"What're you thinking?" Sadie asks

"Hmm." Hope hums. "Something."

Hope turns around and leaves

"Well that was vague." Sadie says, following after her

SADIE: Hope and I had enlisted the help of Mr Williams to find anything on this monster in the library. I don't know why though, I know this library like the back of my hand -- practically read every book in here

"Find anything yet?" Hope asks as Mr Williams searches

"Necromancy is everywhere in occult literature." Mr Williams says, looking at a book. "It's a form of sorcery that dates back to ancient Greece. It involves the ability to communicate with and raise the dead. But there's nothing about a specific necromancer, so whoever this dude is, he's been erased from history like every other monster that comes looking for the knife."

"Is there any way to stop him from bringing back dead people?" Hope asks. "Because if this week is any indication, it's kind of becoming a thing."

"I'll look into it, but tomorrow's my day off, so it might take a minute." Mr Williams says

"Evil never takes a holiday, Dorian." Hope says

"Well, every year on Remembrance Day, I do." Mr Williams says. "I write my letters, pack my lunch and I head to the cemetery and ring that bell in honor of my dead family. So for the next 24 hours, ask Dr. Saltzman."

"Fair." Hope says. "But I'm worried about him. Do you think he's okay?"

"I think after the week he's had, he needs a nap." Mr Williams says. "And a therapist. Maybe even a vacation of his own. You girls take these to him for me, would you?" He asks, handing the girls the books

"Thanks." Hope says

Sadie and Hope grab the books from Mr Williams

The two girls walk out of the library and make their way down the hall

Hope stops in the foyer, looking into the lounge where Dr Saltzman is talking to Raf and Cassie

Sadie watches them
