The morning sun led to the breakfast area as the cast enjoyed a meal. The smell of coffee and the clinking of utensils created a comforting ambiance, You filled your plate with a mix of eggs, bacon, and toast, finding a spot at the table next to Georgie and opposite Emma.
After a while, Jenna joined the group, her presence adding to the atmosphere. She sat down beside you, and as the teasing from the cast resumed, you both exchanged smiles, unfazed by the banter.
"So, what's on the agenda for today?" Georgie inquired, taking a sip of his coffee. "We have a few more scenes to shoot in the woods," Emma explained, glancing at the script in front of her. "Tim wants to capture chase scenes i guess."
"Ready for another day in the forest?" Jenna says as You smirked, "Absolutely. Maybe Archie and Wednesday will finally discover the mystery of the Hyde."
Hunter raised his coffee cup in a mock-toast. "Or maybe they'll get lost in each other's eyes and forget about the mysteries altogether."
The table erupted in laughter, and you rolled your eyes, now used to the daily teasing. As breakfast continued, Tim entered the room "Good morning, everyone!" he exclaimed, and you and Jenna exchanged a glance.
With breakfast ending, the cast headed to prepare for the day's scenes. You Walking with Jenna toward the set, the teasing persisted. Georgie flashed a mischievous grin, "Well, well, how was the cozy sleepover? and the bed-sharing experience, you two?"
"Did you guys at least get some shut-eye, or was it just an all-night talk fest?" Percy chimed in, You rolled your eyes, and Jenna chuckled, seemingly amused by the ongoing banter. Emma joined in, "I hope you left room between you two."
As the day progressed, you and Jenna found yourselves with each other more during breaks, sharing jokes and lighthearted stories. "I think they're enjoying this a bit too much." Jenna whispered,
"Yeah, it's like we've become the entertainment for everyone," you chuckled. the incident of being locked in became a treasured memory for the cast. Oddly enough, it seemed to bring you two closer.
the others couldn't help but notice the subtle shift in dynamics. They picked up on the nuances of your interaction, the lingering glances, shared smiles, and the increased comfort you both found with each other.
"Well, well, looks like ever since your lock-in you two have been closer. What's the story, lovebirds?" Hunter teased. Jenna rolled her eyes, nudging you. "Ignore him, he's just enjoying the drama."
It got to the point where Tim joined in, teasing you both about not being too distracted to remember your lines. but it went to higher extremes when they began suggesting ship names, debating whether it should be "Y/nna" or "Jenn/n." You and Jenna shared a laugh at the absurdity of it all.
"Yeah, yeah, save it for the characters," you retorted, trying to keep things light. "I bet the fans are shipping this harder than ever." Hunter added,
"Yeah, let's leave the ship names to the fans," Emma quipped,
things were taking a better turn for you, you and Jenna are finally getting closer albeit you still have to tell her truth as some point but something tells you that she already knows, but is just waiting on you to admit it. Tim said that he has enough film to put together 2 episodes they aren't in order but its progress.
there was something gnawing at you though, its about Jenna, ever since her panic attack she been different sometimes she'll sneak off after takes and would be gone for hot minute before returning, she always seems drained and no one else seems to pick up on it.
you arrived on the nightshades hideout set ready to film a scene with joy and Georgie
(START OF ACTING)
The shelves were lined with old books, Archie's eyes were wild and determined, as he frantically searched for any clues that could lead him to Wednesday. Thornhill's move had caught them off guard,
"Come on, come on, there has to be something here," Archie muttered to himself, pulling books off the shelves and scanning through pages. His fingers traced the spines,
As the pages turned, revealing nothing but cryptic symbols and faded illustrations, a voice broke through the silence. "Archie, what are you doing here?" It was Bianca and Ajax, they both had confusion etched across their faces.
"Why are you tearing through our library like a hurricane?" ajax asked archie,
Archie, still immersed in his frantic search, shot a quick glance at them. "Wednesday's gone, Thornhill took her. I need to find a clue, something that tells us where she might be."
Bianca exchanged a worried look with Ajax. "Thornhill? Why would she take Wednesday? What's going on?" She approached Archie, attempting to calm him down.
Archie slammed a heavy book shut, "I don't know, but Weems shouldn't have let her into Nevermore. and I need to find Wednesday before it's too late."
"We need more information, Archie. Ransacking the library won't help. Thornhill is still a mystery to us, and we have to be strategic."
"Archie, I'm willing to help, not because of Wednesday but because of you. But we need to understand the situation."
"Thornhill wants something from Wednesday, and it's something related to the murders and that damn Hyde. I don't know what they want from Wednesday, but I can't let Thornhill succeed."
something clicks in archies head as he rushes out of the hidden hideout ran through the quad and broke into Wednesdays dorm and walked over to her desk.
Archie's hands were shaking as he gathered the scattered clues in Wednesday's dorm. Enid jumped at the sudden intrusion, her eyes wide with surprise. "Archie, what the hell? You scared the living daylights out of me!" she exclaimed.
Ignoring Enid's reaction, Archie focused on the task at hand. He flipped through Wednesday's notes, his eyes scanning the symbols and references to the Hyde. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on him, and every second counted.
"Archie, seriously, what's going on? Why are you here?" Enid asked, her curiosity overcoming her initial shock.
"Wednesday's in danger, Enid. Thornhill took her. I need to find something in her notes, some clue that can lead us to her before it's too late," Archie explained, his voice strained with worry.
"Thornhill? our dorm mom? What does he want with Wednesday?"
Archie didn't have time to provide a detailed explanation. He continued to sift through Wednesday's papers, looking for anything that could point to Thornhill
Enid, understanding the gravity of the situation, joined Archie in the search. "Alright, let's find whatever we can. Weems might have some weird stuff in here that could help."
As they delved deeper into Wednesday's notes, a pattern started to emerge. References to the Hyde, the mysterious murders, and Thornhill's obsession with unlocking the secrets of Nevermore became clearer.
Archie's mind raced, connecting the dots between the pieces of information. "The Hyde, the murders, it's all connected. Wednesday must have stumbled onto something, something Thornhill is willing to go to extremes for." Enid said looking through papers as well
"that's not all" archie says holding a piece of paper to end as her eyes go wide " the boy from the weathervane is the Hyde?" she says shocked
"i might know where they are" archie says
(end of acting)
As the Tim called "Cut!" the tension in the room eased. you took a moment to catch your breath. You looked around for Jenna, knowing that her scenes were up next with Christina, Hunter, and Gwendoline.
"Anyone seen Jenna?" you asked, scanning the room. The set was filled with activity as crew members prepared for the next scenes.
One of the production assistants approached you, holding a clipboard. "She wandered off a bit. I think she mentioned needing a break and some fresh air. You might find her near the trailers."
Nodding in acknowledgment, you made your way towards the trailers. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the set. Your phone rang displaying an unknown number. Hesitant, you answered,
"Hello?" you said, your voice carrying strain
On the other end, your sister's shaky voice broke through. "Y/n," she choked out, "it's me, Sarah."
You tensed, sensing the gravity of the situation. The sounds of machines and a distant commotion reached your ears,
"Sarah, what's going on?" you asked, your heart rate quickening.
Tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling with emotion. "Dad... it's Dad. The cancer has spread, and it's worse. We had to rush him to the hospital."
Your breath caught in your throat, the world around you momentarily frozen. The familiar sights of the film set blurred.
Your sister's voice quivered as she tried to convey the devastating news. "his condition has worsened. he's in critical condition."
Your surroundings blurred as you failed to accept the weight of her words. Your sister's voice, desperate and choked with emotion, pleaded for your understanding.
"Y/n, he's not doing well. Mom is here, and we're all so scared. The doctors are doing what they can, but..." She trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.
"Y/n, are you there? Can you hear me?" Sarah's voice pleaded through the phone.
in that moment, your senses were overwhelmed. Tunnel vision set in, You could hear your mother's cries, the beeping of machines,
Your sister continued to explain, her words reaching you through a haze. "Y/n, I know you're working, but you need to come back. Dad's not doing well. The doctors say it might be... it might be time."
Your throat tightened, and you managed to respond, "I... I need a moment, Sarah. I'll call you back."
You disconnected the call, all hope was gone you felt like you were going to break down but as you were walking closer to the trailers you heard a sobbing sound you looked around confused you looked to your phone to see if you forgot to hang up, you didn't so you got closer to the you trailer and that's when the the hyperventilated breaths sounded familiar, it was Jenna, where is she.
you walked up to her trailer door and slowly opened the door but she wasn't in there, you don't know why but you looked in your trailer too but no one, you were starting to think that the weight of everything is making you crazy, but as you walked around your trailer and went behind Jenna's trailer and there she was.
