Waterford also calls Blyth to her office, where she tries to talk to him about his recent behavior and detentions. Blyth is having none of it and makes snarky comments, calling her by her first name. Mrs. Waterford decides to suspend Blyth for a week and walks with him to his dorm to gather his things.
In the second floor of the east wing, Arthur Rai, a werewolf student, chases Rain with a knife, intending to scare him after he made anti-werewolf comments. Cedric tries to defuse the situation between the two of them but they don't listen. Waterford and Blyth arrive to see this, she ushers Blyth into his room to grab what he needs. Chess is there and he tries to figure out what's going on, Blyth sits down on the bed next to him and refuses to leave. Waterford forces him out of the dorm and sees Rain handing the knife Arthur had over to Cedric. She snaps at Rain and he snaps back, she also gives him a week of detention for disrespect. Waterford also gives Arthur a day suspension for his involvement. Chess tries to talk to Blyth and ask him what happened, but Blyth ignores him aside from snapping once or twice. Waterford walks all three of the delinquents off of the property. Chess, frustrated, goes to the rose gardens and sits on one of the sings. Maverick finds him there and sits with him, telling him that he deserves better. 
Blyth and Rain, now outside the property, begin to argue with each other. Blyth offhandedly calls Chess a mutt and Rain defends him, telling Blyth he shouldn't say things like that. The two argue over it. Meanwhile back at the school in the commons, Pharoah insults Cedric and tells him how he is worthless. Cedric cries in his room for the remainder of that night. 
=== Government-Ethics Class ===
Breakfast goes as normal despite Pharoah trying to instigate something. In Government-Ethics class, Pharoah suggests they all talk about where they're from. Mrs. Kontos allows this so some of the new students can bond with each other. Cedric leaves the class to go to the bathroom midway through, trying to relax. After class is over, Pharoah goes to find Cedric in the bathroom.
=== Midday ===
Pharoah finds Cedric drying his hands in the bathroom and begins to laugh at him and call him names again, he throws a needle made of blood at his nose. Cedric, upset from Pharoah tormenting him, leaves the bathroom and goes to the commons to write that he has detention. Pharoah follows him and sees Cedric do this, so he summons a large amount of blood and pours it all over Cedric, continuing to taunt him. Cedric begins to cry and Pharoah leaves.
Chess meets with Mrs. Waterford to discuss paying her off so she removes Blyth's suspension. They decide on a fourteen thousand dollar donation and Blyth signing a contract to ensure he will remain respectful towards her if he wishes to return, if he breaks this contract, he has to serve his suspension again.
Maverick finds Cedric drenched in blood in the commons, he does a quick charm to remove the blood from him and asks what happened. Cedric is inconsolable, crying and shaking. Maxwell and Finley arrive in the commons and try to find out what happened as well. Maverick tells Cedric to give him his hand so he can see what happened, he does, and then Maverick quietly asks him if he wants him to take it away. Cedric is confused, but he agrees. Maverick removes the memory from Cedric and gives it to himself before leaving to plot. Cedric is dazed after this, not sure what happened, but he talks with Max and Finley over lunch. 
Benvolio returns from his trip and goes to talk with Mrs. Waterford at her office, we find out the Benvolio was diagnosed with schizophrenia. When he leaves her office, he finds Maverick standing outside waiting for him. They exchange pleasantries before Maverick asks him for help, saying he wants to go after Pharoah, Benvolio complies and Maverick shows him Cedric's memory to explain why they're doing it. Afterwards, Maverick helps Benvolio find a new place to sleep for a little, one of the storage closets. 
 
After lunch, Finley heads to the barn, but when she gets there, she finds Pharoah dissecting a bird on the floor. She freaks out and tries to get the bird away from him, saying that it deserves to live. But Pharoah insists and the two of them get in a small scuffle over it, Pharoah eventually gives up and walks away, saying he is going to go hunt. Finley picks up the dead bird and rushes into the commons, hoping to save it, but Pharoah actually follows her and uses his blood magic to make her begin to loose blood very fast. Nerva rushes to try and help.
While this was going on, Maverick was talking to Chess across the room, enlisting him to help in his revenge against Pharoah. He turns around to see whats happening to Finley and says goodbye to Chess before he goes to help her, taking her to the infirmary. Nerva tries to help heal Finley and patch her wounds, but Finley refuses to be healed until the bird is saved. The two of them go back to the barn and find the birds organs, which they plan to use to potentially heal and resurrect the bird. Maxwell is there at the barn to do his chores, Pharoah shows up while they're all there. Max tells him he needs to leave, Finley does the same and gets upset at Pharoah for returning after what he did. Pharoah shrugs it off and does as the say. 
=== The Evening ===

Maverick promises that he'll explain everything to Cedric before he quickly leaves, afterwards, Max finds Cedric, he tries to apologize for everything that's happened. Cedric accepts his apologies. 
Maverick, Benvolio, and Chess all meet in a spare storage closet to discuss their plans before they head out to look for Pharoah, they decide to check the barn first. On their way there, they run into Finley and Nerva, quickly passing them. Finley, Nerva, Max, Cedric, and Ada all meet up and Cedric helps them resurrect the dead bird using his powers of necromancy. The group also talks about what happened with Pharoah and Finley earlier that day. Cedric says that Pharoah was rude to him the night prior. Finley and Nerva bring up how they saw Maverick, Ben, and Chess in a hurry past them. 
=== The Chase ===
Maverick, Chess, and Benvolio find Pharoah in a field on the west lot, they chase him and Chess grabs a hold of him. Maverick tries to get Pharoah to drink a solution he has which will force him to remain silent about what happened in the future. Pharoah teleports away out of their grip before he starts running, the three pursue him through the woods as he jumps from tree to tree. Pharoah eventually slows down and Benvolio uses the bandages on his arms, setting them aflame and yanking Pharoah down from the tree. Chess gets a few hits in on Pharoah as he holds him down on the ground, but Pharoah worms out of his grasp and makes a run for the trails not too far nearby. Benvolio passes out from the exhaustion of using his powers, but in the moment Chess and Maverick leave him behind to pursue Pharoah. 
 
As it turns out, Cedric and Ada were on the trail that Pharoah ran past, everyone else (Maxwell, Finley, and Nerva) follow closely behind as the group tries to figure out where Maverick, Benvolio, and Chess got off to. While Pharoah tries to run, Ada quickly puts a blinding hex on him, realizing what's going on. Chess cuts Pharoah off as he tries to escape and the two fight again, Chess shifts into his wolf form to obtain advantage. Pharoah attempts to get away from Chess and almost does, but Ada puts a slowness hex on him before he can. But once he does regain control, Pharoah books it back to the woods and continues running. Maverick and Chess chase him and once they catch up, Maverick notices Cedric and Max in the treeline.
Maverick, intending to somewhat play the crowd, tells Pharoah he just wanted to talk to him initially and he didn't need to run like that. He says this all while Chess is holding onto Pharoah. Pharoah does strange blood magic, breaking his own bones before he melts away into a strange pool on the ground, he disappears into the night. 
=== The Night ===
Maverick goes to look for Benvolio and finds him in the storage closet. Benvolio had dragged himself all the way back there from the woods and was now tending to his wounds. Maverick gets him an actual dorm instead of keeping him in the closet, afterwards he goes for a smoke on the balcony. Cedric finds him out there and the two share a moment before everyone heads to sleep. 
==Trivia==
* The bandages Benvolio wears on his arms are there to slow the damaging affects of his ignis inferni, a condition specific to House Blackworth.
