WENCLAIR : we work together in a weird way, we shouldn’t but we do
Chapter 1: Mystery of crimes against NEVERMORE academy or is it the child of woe
Narrator: ah welcome to another tale of the beautiful horrors of NEVERMORE ACADEMY, where the students return to learn more about who they are and just how powerful they truly can be
Our colorful cast of students settle into their dorms after receiving their class schedules and extracurricular activities for the semester
Wednesday was settling into her dorm room she shared with Enid, the school was kind enough to keep the dorms the same the way the students left it
Enid walked in very excited with all her belongings, it took her in a matter of moments to refresh her side of the room with more colors and plushies that can fill up an entire closet
She had brought two bookcases to fill up with the latest manga, she also had a case of DVD's she had been collecting for a while, after she was done she looked directly at Wednesday with a huge smile, wolfed out and hugged her
Although Wednesday wasn’t a hugger even with her own family but Enid was a different case, she hugged Enid back after pulling back like she did months ago
They both pulled away to give each other the respected space between the schemes of their room and their different personalities
Wednesday looked at Enid with her normal cold icy stare, she spoke in her monotone voice
“Enid, how was your summer break? I suspect you were held against your will in a wolf camp to train.”
Enid giggled at what Wednesday was picturing
“I wasn’t held against my will Wenny, I finally told my parents I wolfed out and my mom finally got off my back, I can continue to live how I want.
I know it took me some time but I am glad it finally happened, now I can be happy and be at peace.
I want to know what you did over your summer break? Were any crimes committed against humanity?”
Wednesday kind of gave her a smirk
“Enid, does locking my brother in a coffin count? Throwing swords while he chained on the inside of it?”
Enid covered her mouth from gasping in total shock
“Wenny, is he ok?! Why would you do such a thing?! The poor thing must have been scared out of his mind.
What possessed you to throw your brother into a coffin and then throw swords into the coffin?
I mean I know it’s your normal behavior but your poor brother, he must have been scared out of his mind.
Wednesday had a mischievous look on her face
“Enid, I had a family reunion. I always do that to my brother when family comes to visit.
I have to toughen him up somehow, he has to learn it is a dog eat dog type of world and i will not always be there to protect him.
He must learn how to protect himself at all costs, he is an Addams and we have to do what we have to do to survive.”
Enid put her hands down and rolled her eyes
“Wenny, you have to teach him differently. I mean not by death standards but by having the sisterly talk with him, just tell him it is going to be ok and that he will have your support when the world comes crashing down, stuffing him into a casket and throwing swords at him while he is tied is a bit of an overkill.
You are basically preparing him for his death, not for him to live his full life.”
Wednesday smirked with her eyes staring into Enid's soul
“I assure you that Pugsley is used to my behavior and how I am raising him to be a man among men, he is completely fine, not a single hair was chopped off his round shaped head.
He fears and loves me, it comes with the big sister territory. You should know, you are the little sibling in a pack of wolves.”
Enid sighed and rolled her eyes
“Wenny, my brothers never threw me into a coffin and then threw swords into them, I mean they tried to scare me off a cliff and scare me into a riverbank, but your methods of siblinghood are very chaotic.
What else did you do over your summer break besides trying to make a man out of your baby brother?”
Wednesday stared at Enid's lips with a smirk
“I continued writing more novels with thing as my editor, so far I have completed six out of the twenty, I feel like I should have completed more. It was the summer of disappointment and not an enjoyable one.
What else happened over your summer break? What colorful events did you attend?”
Enid smiled and took out a photo album to show Wednesday what she did over her break
“I was Yoko most of the summer, we attended concerts and went to the movies and stood up late.
We had a lot of fun in the woods and other places. She drank blood and I was completely wolfed out.
It was a good break for me. I enjoyed myself so much.”
Wednesday turned her back with her arms crossed
“I am…. Glad you had a good summer vacation, Enid. It was very colorful on your end.
Although my summer was as dark as I expected, I had Grimmly experience.”
She continued to set up her side of the room with her chalkboard and her table
She released thing into the room so he can hug Enid while Wednesday calmly set up her side in slight Jealousy
Thing went on Enid’s super plushed out bed and started signing in his finger fashion
He signed language that Wednesday missed Enid a lot but wouldn’t admit it because she has too much pride and she would stab him to death if he breathed a word to anyone.
He also signed that Wednesday should have called Enid if she was bored, they do have a home phone after all but she refused to be apart of the technology scene, he was happy to be back in their dorm room, he missed the light night nail painting sessions and talking to Enid
He knew deeply that Wednesday was a wreck without her best wolf bud around, but the fact Enid spent the summer with Yoko along with Divina was killing her not in a good way, she would rather be stabbed a thousand times before she let Enid have some type of horrific fun without her
The evening went by smoothly after the entire school ate their dinner and had their dorms set up the way they wanted
Wednesday and Enid went to their room to turn in for the night on their respected sides
Wednesday started typing another novel of hers but this time it was about the teenage detective Viper De La Muerte and how she meets a wolf girl who is into music but uses it as a tool to solve crimes, after a while of typing she put her typewriter away and went to the balcony to practice her Violin under the moonlight with thing
She had her eyes closed with such great focus, she noticed that Enid had gotten little bit taller over the break and her hair got a bit longer, she wondered if it had to do with her wolfing out the first time or maybe just maybe she was going with a new look
Whatever it was, Enid was maturing into an adult in front of her, Wednesday wasn’t too worried about anything, if anything weird should happened Enid can handle herself
She finished with her practice and stood outside hearing the pack of wolves howling in the distance, she stared at the moon for a moment before returning to her bed
The next morning came with full of woe for Wednesday because she dreaded going to class but if she didn’t her parents would pop out of nowhere wanting to know why she wasn’t attending class
She suited up in her infamous black fencing gear walking very slowly dragging her sword across the floor, she made it to the class and sat down watching the rest of her classmates dueling, she was making mental notes for her teenage detective novels for more characters who interfere with her work
She saw Enid sparring with Ajax, her form had improved as well over the break, spending time with Yoko probably was a good thing.
Wednesday was up sparring against Xavier Thorpe, they had grown up together from childhood. She had saved him from being cremated at his godmother’s funeral because they were playing hide and seek, he hid in her casket
They sparred for a good 20 minutes and Wednesday won their match, they shook hands and went to prepare for Botanical sciences which is in the greenhouse behind the school, with thornhill gone and tyler locked away in a monster cell for the murders/ attempted murders he committed in Jericho and in forest of nevermore academy, peaceful time has came or has it?
Everyone was paired up for a project that had to be done in the forest during the daytime, students were now forbidden to go in the forest during the night hours, everyone was on curfew and had to return to their dorm rooms by 6 pm once they finished their classes and extracurricular activities
Wednesday didn’t have a problem returning to her dorm room she shared with Enid, the curfew was a issue because now that enid can wolf out, the pack of wolves can’t enjoy running around as they please around campus
Howling and whatnot, she laid in bed staring into the ceiling as if she was throwing sharp objects at it. She fell asleep in a very slow manner.
Enid was in Yoko’s room having one of those nail painting parties, since they were in the confines of the dorm they were fine, she had been very quiet during their party.
Yoko noticed and nudged Enid with her elbow
“Yo E what’s gotten into you? You aren’t normally this quiet, what happened to my happy go lucky wolfie?”
She drank some blood from a glass with a straw because she is a classy vampire
Enid looked at Yoko with a pouty face as if a stone just hit her face
“We all had an awesome summer, I feel like I have matured, a little bit. Ever since I wolfed out last semester I have felt more in power and more freedom.
I feel more like myself. I don’t know, I just feel out of place in my dorm room.
I only had one conversation with Wednesday and we haven’t spoken since coming back from summer vacation. She is the same old Wednesday.”
Yoko took off her shades and stared at Enid with a confused
“Wednesday is just being her normal gothic lone wolf self, you know she isn’t much of a talker unless she is well throwing weapons at people or singing in a note only dogs can hear.
I only know this because Bianca told me she cracked the glasses of her bandmate and the flower that former principal weems kept in a glass vase also cracked.
Bianca went inside of weem’s office to drop off something after practice and the glass was cracked.
Why do you feel out of place in your own dorm room? You two share the unique space that is the yin and yang of Nevermore Academy. It’s a perfect balance of chaos and calm.
Whenever it seems calm at school, Wednesday brings chaos with her.”
Enid looked at yoko with a nod
“ Wednesday Addams is the embodiment of Chaos, everywhere we go chaos and a dark cloud follows after.
The world could end and she will laugh on the top of the decaying planet.”
Divina looked at Enid and shook her head
“Wednesday would end the world and claim it was time for a change, a change of her own accord, she would revive the earth and make it all hers, everything from rebuilt academies or anything that had color would turn black.
I am not prepared for black Wednesday, black Friday should remain as such for the holiday season.”
Yoko was still drinking blood from her glass and a straw
“Wednesday doesn’t smile Enid, if she did… that will end society as we know it. Can you even picture her smiling?? ”
Enid pictured Wednesday smiling and shook her head frantically
“I saw nothing but horror and screams of plants, but Wednesday is Wednesday at the end of the day.
We accept her as is, she has accepted us in her own way. I mean this is normal, i just don’t know what to do at the moment. I don’t know where we stand.
I am all mixed up and just wondering what will happen next.”
Yoko gave Enid some wine to calm her nerves, Enid drank a little too much and passed out from overthinking
The next morning everyone went to the quad to get prepared for their extracurricular activities before they went to their normal classes, Enid slept in Yoko’s room for the rest of the day
Wednesday wondered why Enid didn’t attend the student gathering in the quad
She walked over to the fang’s table and grabbed Yoko away from Davina putting her up against the wall of the quad
“Yoko, you will tell me what I need to inquire about and you will tell me now. What is wrong with Enid?”
Yoko smirked
“Yo Wednesday, what lit a fire in your stomach? Enid is fine. She just had a little too much to drink is all. She is safe and sound in my room asleep.
She is in a safe space, back off and let her rest. She has been through a lot since last semester so she had a girl’s night with us and over summer break.
She needed to vent and she passed out from drinking a glass of wine. You can let me go now unless you want to be fanged to death by my crew.”
Wednesday smirked
“Yoko, you do realize who you are talking to don’t you? My death will come one day, whether I get eaten, stabbed, a stone falls from the sky or shot or kidnapped.
I am an Addams and I am prepared for any misfortune that comes my way. I am the raven of my family, my visions tend to come true whether I want them to or not.
I will leave Enid in your care for now, she better return to our dorm room in one piece and with her sanity intact.”
She let go of Yoko and went back to her dorm room, skipping school stuff for the rest of the day.
She continued to write her detective novels with thing as her editor, she was ripping out pages from her typewriter in a furious rage, thing throwing the paper into the trash can
He frantically tapped his fingers to snap Wednesday out of her fits of rage, Wednesday grabbed him and tried to choke him, the struggle of trying to choke a hand was a challenge for Wednesday
Enid walked into the room, seeing thing and Wednesday fighting which meant she saw them spinning around in a struggle
“Wednesday and Thing Addams, stop this fighting! You two are family! I don’t know what you two are fighting about, but it ends now.”
She removed thing from Wednesday’s grasps placing him on the bed to calm down, she looked at Wednesday with a strong look in her eyes
Wednesday stood in position with her arms crossed against her chest
“I see you have returned, Enid. I thought you moved out of our dorm for a while.”
Enid sat on her bed next to thing calming him down
“I didn’t move out, I simply had a girl’s night in Yoko’s room. You would know if you tried to be social with some people.”
Wednesday stared at Enid with her eyes and huffed
“I was sociable today, i Grabbed Yoko and pinned her against the campus’s walls and demanded to know what on earth was going on with you. She threatened me with a good time.
I had to remind her who she was talking to and she understood, she said you were in her care and i wasn’t satisfied with the answer and let her go.
I came back to the dorm room, skipped classes and continued with my novels.
I can clearly see you are doing fine and your sanity is in fact intact. I will thank Yoko by shooting an arrow with a note attached to it to her dorm.”
Enid gasped with her eyes wide
“Very old school Samurai of you Wednesday, I am sure Yoko would like a text or a facetime. We don’t want her to think she was under attack by a normie.”
Wednesday looked at Enid
“My ways of communication are very effective Enid, Yoko won’t mind a flame arrow with a note attached to it being sent to her room.
It may be very old school, but it is effective at most. I shall be prepared for tonight.
Thing go to my classes and retrieve my homework for me, now.”
Thing hopped off of Enid’s bed and started to roam around the school to gather Wednesday’s homework and class assignments.
Wednesday and Enid were left in the room with the door closed while thing was working his magic, Wednesday say by Enid on her colorful bed stuffed with plushies
“Enid, you have given me three nicknames so I think I should give you at least one. You have called me willa, wenny and wens. You deserve a nickname worthy of you, that fits your colorful personality.
I will call you cara mia, I will let you figure it out as to the meaning of it. I will let you stew in your own petrification for leaving our dorm without telling me how you feel.
I do not feel included in your emotions and we share the same room, include me in your emotions and I will try to understand and communicate with you more.
I will take my nap now on my side of the room, night Cara Mia. Stew all night long.”
Enid was left on her side of the room in total shock, math equations were circling around her head, after a while she finally fell asleep.
Thing returned with Wednesday’s classwork and homework for the night, he decided to crash in Yoko’s room so he can relax, Yoko didn’t mind that thing crashed in her room, Thing was apart of their clique during their parties, he understood the girls more then Wednesday did, he was the most sociable hand on campus.
He knew Wednesday had some type of feelings for Enid but she had that Addams pride in her for some reason and didn’t want to admit it.
The next morning everyone went to their classes, Wednesday took her time getting to class because she was finishing up her assignments from yesterday, she worked on everything over night as soon as Enid fell asleep, she pretended to sleep so she can think of other things to torture Enid with, she smirked and walked to class
She sat next to Xavier in Botanical sciences, he was busy drawing spiders and making them come to life, Wednesday being her normal self smashed it with her hand
“Xavier, you need to focus on the lesson instead of drawing. I wonder who the new teacher is for Botanical sciences since Laurel gates is no longer with us. I do hope that the next teacher isn’t out to get the academy and have it burnt to the ground.
This academy will not perish under my watchful eyes.”
The door opened to the greenhouse, a tall figure with long blue black hair, her eyes were a blueish gray, she had her hair in a ponytail, her teacher wear was sweatpants and a short t-shirt and running sneakers
She grabbed the chalk and started writing her name on the board
“Hello Class my name is professor Kamiko Sato, i will be replacing your current teacher.
I love all plant life and the mysteries behind each of the growth and species of them.
This will be an interesting semester with group projects and solo projects. We will have weekly exams to see how much you have progressed. The exams will start every Friday, you will also have to take back to your dorm exams as well.
Group projects are worth 65 percent of your grade, solo projects are worth 80 percent of your overall understanding of.
There will be oral reports written as well that will count as an essay grade.
I will be in charge of the committee meetings for the Rave N Dance, I am the advisor.
If you have any themes please contact me via email or visit me during school of operations.
Let’s get to work and have a fun semester. This is the first solo project, you all will go into the forest and pick the rarest of flowers or plants. You will have two weeks to study the plant and write a report on it.
You will be allowed to go during your lunch period to the forest, going at night is strictly forbidden.
I want a 10 page report double spaced and with footnotes from your research, you will present your findings at the end of the two weeks.
You all must make copies of your report for proof and send me the original through email.”
She continued writing on the board about her discoveries of the rarest tree in the world, it was called the Dragon’s Blood Tree. The properties of the tree are as follows: This Dragon Blood Tree resembles the shape of a mushroom when looked at from below. If you want to see this rare tree, you’ll have to travel to Yemen, rent a boat, and visit the island of Socotra. The sap of this tree is red as blood and this tree is found on only one island off the coast of Yemen in the entire world.
The students wrote down every bit of notes for the plant they are learning about, the bell rang.
The teacher stood behind to go over her lesson plan for the semester, she decided to go off a little of the lesson plan and make it more interesting for her class
The next class was Werewolf reproduction, they all sat down and began taking notes about the various moon phases werewolves react to and when the wolfing out begins
Everyone looked at Enid with smirks and she blushed dark red continuing taking down notes like a mad woman, they knew the class should be easy enough for her to pass because she is a werewolf but she was a late bloomer wolfing out, she wolfed out because Wednesday was in danger and she had to save her
The events from last year kept replaying in Enid's mind, her wolfing out, her roommate being kidnapped and held against her, being slightly stabbed to death and shot with an arrow all in one evening, the resurrection of crackstone and their teacher trying to destroy nevermore and their principal getting killed by laurel gates, Tyler being the Hyde.
The events of last year left everyone on edge, Wednesday somewhat pleased with what happened, she escaped death more then once, she hugged Enid because well she needed a hug not because she wasn’t an extremely emotional person.
Classes were done for the day and everyone returned to their dorms after lunch and remained their until afternoon clubs started
Wednesday noticed that Enid wasn’t in their room, she’s probably with Yoko and Divina enjoying her time, she started typing in silence with thing watching her from Enid's bed
Thing was concerned for Wednesday but he knew not to show it even if he was just a hand servant of the Addams family, Being apart from Enid was killing her but not in a good way
She kept ripping out pages from her typewriter and throwing them with rage in the garbage can, missing the paper going into the can.
Wednesday stopped typing because she was distracted with things and couldn’t focus
She laid on her bed staring at the ceiling and grunted
“Goody warned me I was destined to be alone, for the second time i am saying this, this isn’t a good feeling at all to be alone.
I made it clear that I wasn't going to be a housewife like my mother and i won’t have my own family.
Enid is allowed to be with whoever she wants to be with, if she wants to hang out with the fangs so be it, i can do a ton on my own. I am Wednesday Addams and I don't need to feel these unwanted emotions.
This is a twisted moment in my life and I will jump off a cliff playing jump rope before i admit anything.
Something about falling from one thousand feet in the air with a jump rope is grand.
The feeling of my hair waving in the cold arctic wind is soothing and deadly.”
Thing jumped on Wednesday and was tapping on her stomach furiously because he had heard enough
He started sign language to her in a rage
“If you want Enid around more, just talk to her, you need to be more social. I know being social isn’t you but Damn it Wednesday Addams snap the hell out of it.
Enid brought sunshine into your life, you continue to push her away! I wouldn’t be surprised if she decided to live with the fangs and the nightshades!”
Thing ran off and slammed the dorm room door leaving Wednesday to wallow in self pity and self disgust.
Night had fallen and everyone on campus returned to their dorms to sleep, Enid was debating whether or not to return to her own dorm which she shared with wednesday.
She stood out the dorm room for a good ten minutes before entering, she finally decided to enter and she saw wednesday asleep with her eyes opened staring up at the ceiling
Enid went to her bed and grabbed her plush and fell asleep
End of woe or no……
