Chapter Text

Wednesday sighs as she walks up to her dorm room, having fended off far too many… fans. She shudders at the thought.

When she reaches the top of the stairs she sees her door is covered in art.. she looks at thing before saying “we need to set bear traps out here” and rips the papers down.

She enters and Enid is lying on her bed, giggling at her phone. Of course.

Her eyes light up in the most beautiful way when she sees Wednesday, something Wednesday files away.. for research of course. “Enid” she says.

Enid smiled even wider at her words and bound towards her “howdy roomie! How was your break? Because I have been dying to tell you all about mine!”

Wednesday went for her bags that lurch brought up before, placing her typewriter down. “Well I suppose I will want to kill you after you tell me anyways.” Her way of telling Enid go ahead.

Enid rambled on for a while as Wednesday unpacked, when suddenly Enid gasped. “I got you a gift!”

Wednesday turned from where she was placing her cello and titled her head. “You did?” She didn’t feel as foolish for getting Enid a gift as well.

“Yep! I thought you would enjoy the literary reference” Enid said, handing Wednesday a black bag.

Wednesday looked inside and there was a shirt. (I don’t remember the shirt and I don’t feel like going to look currently) Wednesday almost smiled.

She put the shirt on her luggage that carried her clothes and said “I got a gift for you as well. From my summer travels”

Enid’s eyes widened in excitement. “Really?”

“Indeed.” Wednesday said as she plucked the doll from her bags. She handed it to a wide eyed Enid.

“Oh- um.. wow. It is a little creepy but the curls are super soft” Enid said.

Wednesday smirked, “it’s made from real human hair.”

Enid gulped and she placed the doll down, “well uhm. I have so many goals this year! Become the dance captain! Finally join the nightshades and become a real member of the pack! What about you?”

Wednesday thought for a moment, “enjoy solitude while writing.”

“Doesn’t sound like much of an evolution” Enid said, her eyebrows furrowed.. it was adorable- no Wednesday. You promised yourself. She turned, Enid’s face far too much for her currently.. yet it’s all she wanted to stare at. “Speaking of your novel.. did that publisher get back to you?” Right, she and Enid had written each other letters.

Wednesday sighed and grabbed her novel, handing it to Enid and saying “I call it death by a thousand notes”

Enid opened a page and Wednesday’s heart stuttered.. please don’t see what I’ve written about the character based on you. She thought.

She stood beside Enid, their shoulders brushing, electricity almost as strong as pugsley’s pulsing between their touch as Enid points out what seems to be a typo. Wednesday corrects her, their eyes meet, it was brief as there was a knock at the door.

“That better not be any more deranged lunatics asking for autographs” Wednesday said.

Enid nodded as she placed the novel back to its place “I know! We definitely should put up hours for signing stuff.” Wednesday turned to Enid in bewilderment before she opened the door to Ajax. She felt a breeze behind her as Enid hid behind the door.

“Hey Wednesday! How was your summer?” The Gorgon said.

“I scalped a serial killer” Wednesday responded.

“Huh. Uhm well is Enid here?” He asked.

Wednesday’s eyes flicked to Enid, who seemed panicked as she signed no. “No. She went out with her pack.” Wednesday said, the lie going through her teeth with ease.

“Oh. Ok well when you see her tell her I really wanna talk more.. and uh give her this for me” he asked.

Wednesday looked at him, then the pink unicorn picking it up by the edge of her fingers and throwing it to Enid as the door closed.

“Ugh! Thank you for covering for me! I know the only thing you hate more than color is relationship drama” Enid said, playing with the unicorn as she followed Wednesday.

Wednesday leaned down collecting her clothes as she said “Machiavelli once said that friendship is watching a person’s slow drip of miseries and feeling honored to be present for their most dismal moments.”

Enid’s eyes widened in hope “does that mean?”

“In 25 words or less go” Wednesday said, heading towards her closet.

“Me and Ajax broke up! This summer I realized stuff about myself and I never told Ajax so he doesn’t know why we broke up. Hey look at that, exactly twenty five words” Enid said.

“Do I need to get my nail gun?” Wednesday asked, moving to open her closet door.

“No Wednesday. He doesn’t need a nail gun to his- ahh!” When Wednesday opened the closet an arrow came flying out of it. “Holy crap!”

Wednesday looked at the contraption before her, then walked over towards where the arrow landed.

Pierced by the arrow was a Polaroid with Wednesday’s eyes X’d out. “Welcome back Wednesday. I’m still watching.. wait! You have a stalker?” Enid asked, reading what was writing on the photo.

“Don’t be jealous” Wednesday said, ripping the photo down and holding it. She closed her eyes, conjuring a vision.

Enid watched as a single black tear began to fall down Wednesday’s face.. when Wednesday came out of her vision she looked to thing saying “I didn’t see the stalker”

“Uhm.. you have a little something” Enid said, pointing towards Wednesday’s cheek.

Wednesday’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second before she wiped her eye, “it’s nothing”

“That doesn’t look like nothing Wednesday” Enid said, her voice firm.

Wednesday rolled her eyes, thing and now Enid? It won’t be long until her mother discovers the tears. “It’s just a minor glitch with my ability Enid. Do not fret.”

Enid let it go, but she didn’t like it.
__

 

When Wednesday returned to the dorm, cello in hand. Enid knew something was up.

“Whose body is gonna be found tomorrow’s?” Enid joked; then regretted it when she saw the look in Wednesdays eyes.

“Jeez. Uhm, I wanna apologize for having the pack in here without your permission” Enid said.

“That’s the least of my grievances.” Wednesday said, placing her cello back on its stand.

“Oh? What’s the biggest problem?” Enid asked, stepping closer. Wednesday could feel it.

“My mother is in charge of the gala this year.. she will be living in rotwood cottage along with my father.” Wednesday said.

“Oh! Uhh and that’s bad why?” Enid asked, unsure how to respond.

“As much as I do prefer knowing they aren’t in a mansion” Wednesday gulped “alone. I much prefer them as far away from me as possible.”

“Oh come on Wednesday it can’t be that bad.”

“I can tolerate my father, my mother on the other hand” a wave of insecurity washed over Wednesday “will meddle in my life. She’s already stated she wants to be closer due to the fact I have yet to receive a new spirit guide. And as much as I love adding salt to a wound, ms capri practically insulting my playing was not an anecdote I enjoyed” Wednesday said, still turned from Enid.

“Wait. No one else has reached out?” Wednesday turned, glaring at Enid. “Right not the point. Look our parents are way different, but I do get the boundaries part. If you ever wanna talk. I’m here. And ms capri doesn’t see your real talent!” Enid said, smiling.

Wednesday nodded, looking at Enid. Her blue eyes swimming into her soul. God.. when did she inherit her uncles taste?

Enid’s breath hitched at the eye contact. Sure Wednesday’s gaze was always intense.. but this felt different, charged with something neither of them were ready to admit.

“Wednesday!” Morticia’s voice boomed into their trance. Breaking it.

Wednesday turned just as her mother entered the dorm.. without knocking. Again.

“Hello mother.” Wednesday said.

“Hello darling. And Enid, it’s so wonderful to see you again!” Morticia said, her gaze swept over Enid’s side of the room and you can tell she was questioning how Wednesday tolerated it. Especially with her allergy.

“You to Mrs Addams!” Enid said, practically bouncing with every word.

Wednesday rolled her eyes at the girl.

“I was coming to do one last check up on pugsley, you know how he can get” Morticia said. “Pathetic?” Wednesday asked.
Morticia ignored her “and I’d figured I’d come visit my daughter while I was around!” Morticia said.

“Don’t make it a habit” Wednesday said, going towards her desk.

“She’s just grumpy she missed her writing hour.”

Wednesday stopped dead in her tracks and spun around “I do not get grumpy”

“The pout on your face when you came in earlier said otherwise” Enid teased.

“I should have smothered you in your sleep when I had the chance” Wednesday said.

Enid rolled her eyes.

Morticia watched the girls smiling. “Well, I shall take my leave.. and remember I’m here if you need me.” Morticia said.

Wednesday glared in response.

Once the door closed Enid let out a breath “wow. She’s carries a lot of energy. I can’t explain it”

“Then don’t.”

Enid just shook her head fondly.
__
The next day, Enid was getting ready for the pyre, when a knock on the door startled her. She shook it off and opened it. It was a mailman who looked quite frightened “uhh, you Wednesday Addams?” He asked.

“No. But I’m her roommate” Enid said.

“Ok, well uhm from Xavier Thorpe” the guy said, shoving what seemed to be a painting and a letter into her hand.

Enid rested the painting against the wall and was looking at the note, of course Xavier would send something, he had a massive crush on Wednesday.

As if summoned Wednesday walked into the dorm.

“From Xavier” Enid explains when she sees Wednesday’s eyes travel to the painting.

“another useless attempt at flirting?” Wednesday asked.

Enid giggled, “I don’t know. Here, the card says ‘hey Wednesday, I tried texting but I guess you lost the phone I gave you- YOU HAVE A PHONE?!”

“I dropped it in the bath” Wednesday said, smirking at the memory of dropping the device into boiling hot water.

“Ok anyways, he says, take this as my goodbye gift. This came to me, don’t ask me how or why but I just know it’s connected to you. But hey, who’s Wednesday Addams without a mystery? Xavier.” Enid finished.

Wednesday ripped the paper and revealed a painting of- a one eyed crow. Galpin’s warning rang through her head, she hadn’t realized she had said it aloud but she did.

“What? You know what it means?”

“No. Not really. Just something galpin said to me today.” Wednesday said.

“You saw sheriff galpin?” Enid asked.

“He’s no longer sheriff. And yes, he asked for my help” Wednesday said.

“What? Help with what?” Enid asked.

“He’s worried about Tyler, as if the boy can’t handle himself, he’s a homicidal monster.” Wednesday said, her eyes catching her typewriter disturbed.

“Did you touch my things?” She asked thing, angry. He signed no and she ripped the paper out, reading it aloud. “Read any good books lately?” Her eyes widen in realization, she slams the paper down and opens the drawer and- “my manuscript! It’s gone!” She looked at the paper that had been left inside the drawer where her work had used to call home, reading the ridiculous poem before realizing. “My stalkers going to burn my manuscript at the founders pyre!”

“That’s not your only copy right?” Enid asked, rolling her eyes when Wednesday doesn’t say anything. “Seriously? Copying machines aren’t even 21st century technology”

Wednesday huffed turning Enid “I’m not letting two years of my life go up in flames!”

__

Enid chased Wednesday around and saw her get on the ground. Dear god.

“Enid!” Ajax’s voice called out.

She groaned internally and turned to her ex, smiling. “Hey Ajax!”

“Hey, I was wondering if we could talk? I feel like I haven’t seen you” Ajax asked.

“Well you know, crazy first few days-“ she turned to Wednesday who was taking apart the pyre. Wonderful. “Plus I have the Wednesday factor which never disappoints- WEDNESDAY WAIT!” Before she could go after her the wound the wolf Bruno who had an obvious crush on her appeared and said “hey I saved you a spot”

“Great thanks Bruno. Gotta go” she said, but it was too late. Wednesday was in the pyre. Brilliant.

___

Enid chased Wednesday down the stairs, she just wanted to talk! “Hey! Wednesday- wait! Wednesday will you wait up!” She said, finally reaching Wednesday, placing a hand on her shoulder. For a half a second she thinks Wednesday is turning to her but instead her head snaps straight up, black tears falling from her eyes as she crumples to the ground. Enid caught her arm and slowly led the girl to the ground. She sat beside her, not knowing what to do when suddenly Wednesday gasped for air, as if she was choking and she began to seize “Wednesday!?”

All the sudden Morticia was beside her, but she didn’t care, all she knew was Wednesday. Her Wednesday. Was struggling to breathe as her body violently seized.

End of chapter 1.

Chapter Text

“Wednesday help!”

“It’s all your fault.”

“I died because of you!”

A jolt of light crosses Wednesday’s eyes and she shoots up, searching for “Enid!”

“Enid’s fine. It’s you who I’m worried about” her mother says.

In that moment Wednesday feels her mother’s hand in hers, and she looks around- when did she get here.

“When it comes to your ability I asked you to be honest with me. I know what those tears mean. It’s psychic exhaustion. It happens when someone abuses their ability” her mother said, her tone disapproving.

Wednesday immediately bit back “I’ve harnessed it.”

“You sound just like your aunt”

Wednesday rolled her eyes, “how do I get the tears to go away?”

“You can start by giving me goody’s book of spells.” Wednesday glared at thing, “don’t be mad at him, he was worried sick about you. We both were.” Thing held out a handkerchief and Wednesday took it as she wiped her face, black staining the white.

“Goody was my spirit guide that book belongs to me.” Wednesday said. She stood up. her mother moved to follow her but Wednesday turned “I really do not have time for this mother. Not after tonight.”

“I am not your enemy darling. I am your mother. And you cannot go around abusing your ability your going to get yourself killed”

If Enid lives so be it. “I don’t need a lecture mother.”

“Wednesday-“ but it was too late. Wednesday already stormed out.
___

Enid waited all night for Wednesday to come back. She didn’t, so she went over to the Addams. When she arrived Morticia was cutting rose heads off. “Hey, Mrs Addams. Have you seen Wednesday?”

“Ah. Her and Gomez are doing some father daughter bonding.” Morticia said.

Enid frowned, that doesn’t sound like Wednesday, but Enid doesn’t know her family dynamics too much. “Ok. Thanks”

“Wait Enid dear. Before you leave, can I ask you something”

“Uh sure” Enid said, smiling.

“When Wednesday had her vision last night, what triggered it?”

“Oh, well we were fighting and she was running away, I went to stop her and she just. Dropped” Enid said, her brows furrowing.

“Ok. That will be all dear. Oh! Do enjoy prank day! I remember the pranks me and Larissa would play”

___
When Enid returned she found a very realistic eyeball on her pillow. Wonderful.

She got an idea then.. surely Wednesday wouldn’t over react right?
_

Enid lied still as she heard the door open. “Enid?” Wednesday’s voice called out, it turned panicked as footsteps followed her “Enid!” Wednesday exited the window and said “thing get help” she leaned down and pressed her hand against Enid’s neck and that’s when Enid began to laugh, she opened her eyes, adjusting to the light as she said “mm blood and orange jam. My favorite. GOTCHA! Happy prank day!”

Wednesday stood abruptly “prank day?”

“Yeah, you didn’t get here early enough last year-“ something in Wednesdays eyes made Enid concerned “are you ok?”

“I’m fine. I just don’t enjoy juvenile pranks” she said.

Enid titled her head in confusion “but, you left that eyeball on my pillow?”

Wednesday’s eyes widened “show me”

I showed her, asking where she got it as I changed and cleaned myself up. She didn’t answer, mumbling to herself.

Finally Enid sighed and said “are we not gonna talk about last night? You really scared me Wednesday”

And you scared me, Wednesday thought.

“I’m fine.”

“Your mother didn’t seem fine. She was crying Wednesday” Enid said.

Wednesday tensed, how come even unconscious she brings pain to her family? “Like I said, Just a minor glitch in my abilities. Nothing I cannot handle.”

Enid’s phone buzzed.

(Rest of the Scene stays)

Wednesday smirked when she saw Tyler caged up, away from Enid. Where he would never hurt her. And the way he looked when she told him his father passed, perfect. She ignored him and turned as he tried to prolong their conversation but then he said “say hi to Enid for me.” She froze “tell her I’m gonna kill her the next time I see her. Get what she deserves for sticking her snout in my business.”

Wednesday turned, rage vibrating throughout her body. “If her name ever leaves your lips again they will be your last words.” Wednesday said.

He smirked, “oh, the wolf’s got a body guard.”

“Tyler.” His expression changed at the use of his name “this is between you and me. Leave. Her. Out. Of. It.”

He chuckled as she turned and left.

Once she was out of sight she leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath. Seeing him again, it brought back everything, she wanted to puke.
“What does it feel like to lose?” Rings through her head.

“Miss Addams?” Dr fair-burns voice asks.

Wednesday Jumps slightly “have a dreadful day” she said, before she ran off.

how could she have been so foolish? How could she have… trusted him.
___

When she returned Enid’s bag was on the floor, discarded.

She let thing out of his house he had been locked in. “Where’s Enid?” She asked, her voice frantic.

He signed that he didn’t know.

A ringtone sounded throughout the room, scaring the duo slightly.

Wednesday rushed forwards towards Enid’s bag and taking her phone, answering with “where’s Enid”

“You have 30 minutes to save your puppy. Tik tock”

A note appeared under the door, Wednesday immediately ran forwards, opening the door.. no one was there.

When she picked up the note is said “play dead”

She needs to find Enid.
___

She runs up the stairs and calls out “Enid!”

“Wednesday! Oh thank god” Enid said, sitting on the floor alone… she must have been trying to escape. She never gives up.

“Thing pick her locks” Wednesday said.

When thing went to move a pitchfork came down locking him in place.

Wednesday wanted to run to Enid, but she couldn’t risk it, so she ran down the stairs to look for clues.

__

“I can’t believe your crazed stalker almost killed me Wednesday” Enid said, standing next to Wednesday.

“Relax pup” Agnes said.

Enid unsheathed her claws but Wednesday put her hand up “she’s not worth it Enid”

___

 

Wednesday stood on the balcony far too long, staring out at the sky that the crow had disappeared towards.

“Wednesday! What the hell are you doing? You’re going to catch a cold!” Enid said, grabbing Wednesday and dragging her soaking wet frame inside.

Wednesday looked at thing who moved to sign ‘I’m sorry. She came in and I couldn’t stop her’

“It’s fine thing. I’ll just have to steal the book back”

Enid who had been drying Wednesday looked at her, “what are you talking about?”

“My mother stole my book” Wednesday said.

Enid sighed “she probably had good reason” Wednesday glared at her “look, I know you and your mom don’t have the best relationship. But your mom wouldn’t do something like this unless she had a good reason” Enid said.

Wednesday huffed, even Enid was now against fighting to keep herself alive? Even if she didn’t know.

Wednesday would get that book back. She had to. She needed to save Enid.

End of chapter 2.

Chapter 3.

Enid groaned as she looked through her clothes. “I have nothing Wednesday! Nothing!”

“Enid. You have more clothes than my mother. And that is saying a lot.” Wednesday responded looking at galpin’s phone.

“You’re no help. Are you seriously just gonna stare at his phone all day? It’s not gonna magically open” Enid said, hands on her hips.

“Agnes got it open. I’m sure I can. But I must leave soon, I’m going to be late.” Wednesday said, sighing as she placed the phone down again.

“Late for what?” Enid asked, searching for something.

“Galpin’s funeral.”

“Really Wednesday?”

Wednesday ignored her and asked “what on earth are you looking for?”

“My zebra striped bikini!” End groaned.

“Didn’t divina borrow it?” Wednesday lied, needing a moment alone before she left.

“Oh em gee! I think you’re right! Thank you Wednesday!”

___

Once Wednesday realized she had to go camping she packed and was now walking to the quad.. well pentagon but she wasn’t gonna have that argument with Enid ever again, so quad it is.

She saw Enid drinking her disgusting coffee. “Sugar kills you know”

Enid turns, a bright smile on her face. “I knew you would come!”

“This is out of necessity” Wednesday said, searching for something.

“Well still, you’re coming!” Enid said, practically bouncing.
Agnes appeared and Enid jumped, “scram you little creep-“ Enid said, her claws unsheathing.

“Enid.” Wednesday said, her eyes saying ‘not worth it’ which was true. But Enid didn’t like that Wednesday was defending Agnes.

“Yeah Enid. I’m assisting Wednesday. By the way I got the coordinates of the cabin!” Agnes said, handing Wednesday the map.

“Assisting is a strong word” Wednesday mumbled, only loud enough for Enid to hear.

“She tried to kill me Wednesday!” Enid whined.

Wednesday looked at Agnes “yes. And she failed.”

“Ouch. I deserve that” Agnes said.

“Plus, I don’t think she was planning on actually killing you, am I correct Agnes?” Wednesday asked.

“Yep! I didn’t wanna become her next murder case” Agnes said, eyes wide.

“Here Agnes. Hold my pack. Secure me a window seat” Wednesday said, throwing Agnes her bag.

Agnes slumped but did as told.

Wednesday heard them bicker but ignored them until Enid said “coming Wednesday?”

Wednesday looked up, and expectant blue eyes awaited her. Why did they have to be blue? No- why did they have to be so beautiful.

“Yes.” Enid smiled and turned walking away. “querido dios..” Wednesday said to Enid’s retreating figure.

___

Enid watches from afar as Wednesday seemingly interrogates her brother, but they are stopped short when their parents arrive.

Something is definitely going on with Wednesday and her mom..

She walked over to Wednesday and decided to ask, “hey, what is going on with you and your mom?”

Wednesday whipped around, “nothing.”

“Come on wedns” Enid said, the nickname slipping out.

“Wedns?” Wednesday asked, her eyes questioning.

“Sorry.. it just slipped out.” Enid said, worried she just messed up.

Wednesday huffed, “don’t do it again.” But there was no malice.. actually.. was that- a blush?

Before Enid could ask more Bianca called for her.

__

Enid watched Wednesday come up with a plan, Wednesday’s eyes always lit up whenever she could come up with an evil plan. Enid loved watching it. Loved how her hands flexed as she pointed someone towards their target- god.. what is happening to her?
__

Wednesday walked up to Enid after their victory and asked “are you alright?”

Enid nodded and said “yeah, the tear gas affects have worn off. Thanks for asking” Enid said, her eyes sparkling with something new. Wednesday nodded back at the girl.

___

Wednesday was in her tent after visiting Galpin’s cabin, she was writing in her journal.. of sorts. It was mainly filled with clues on how to save Enid. She wrote and wrote and wrote trying to figure out how to get her book back from her mother when her pencil broke, a memory flashed in her mind. Crackstone ahead of her, her sword breaking into pieces as dread filled her.

Wait.

El duelo-a-ciegas!

___

Enid was walking to the makeshift lupin cages when she saw Wednesday and Morticia walking deep into the woods.

Enid walked over and saw thing at a table, “hey guys. What ya up to?”

“El duelo-a-ciegas” Wednesday said, her tone filled with resentment as she stared at her mother.

“Oh.. uh what does that mean?” Enid asked.

“It’s an old Addams tradition. It is how we solve our disagreements” Morticia said, never breaking eye contact with her daughter.

“Hey Enid! Come on it’s time to go!” Ms capri said, appearing behind Enid.

“Coming ms capri!” Enid yelled back to the elder wolf. She turned towards Wednesday and smirked, “see you tomorrow.. wedns”

Wednesday’s gaze broke and she snapped her head towards Enid, who was already running away giggling. “lobo exasperante” Wednesday muttered under her breath.

Her mother watched on with curious eyes.

___

Wednesday walked up to her family and grabbed pugsley by his collar and dragged him away, ignoring her mother calling after them.

“Next time you have a rogue zombie. You tell me. You could have gotten mother killed tonight” or.. Enid. Wednesday thinks.

He nods, “I’m sorry- I just I really wanted a friend.” Pugsley said.

Wednesday dropped his shirt, and looked at him, “isn’t Eugene your friend?”

“No Wednesday! He’s only hanging around me because you saved his life last year.” Pugsley groaned.

Wednesday felt guilt flash through her at the memory, “I did not save his life. In fact I am the reason he was even in danger in the first place.” Pugsley looked at his sister with something akin to worry in his eye, “when I get the opportunity I will introduce you to my roommate. She’s insistent on getting to know everyone.”

Pugsley smiled, his teeth showing and Wednesday rolled her eyes.
__
Later that night, Wednesday sat in her tent, writing.

Her head hurt as her vision blurred from exhaustion. But she couldn’t sleep. That’s when the nightmares came.. and not the good kind.

They are usually the same. They almost always involved Enid. And if they didn’t it always had Tyler, killing her. Over and over and over again.

As those thoughts ran through her head she wrote, “Tyler. Kills. Why? Death. Dead. Enid. Save. Die. Tyler. His fault? My fault. My fault. My fault” until her pencil broke.. that had been happening often now, she might have to start using a pen.

End of chapter.

Chapter Text

Wednesday was sat at her desk, writing. She looked across the room for a moment, Enid was asleep. And she was so tired.. but she couldn’t sleep, not until she knew how to save Enid. Knew why she- knew how to stop this avian.

So she went back to her journal, her pencil breaking as she pressed down onto the paper. She grunted slightly and threw the pencil in the trash with the others.
__

When Enid saw Wednesday the next day, she noticed the bags under her eyes.

Wednesday had said she was going to see her grandmama and Enid smiled at that, wondering what Wednesday’s grandma must be like.

When Wednesday returned she looked defeated. And when Enid was going to ask Wednesday’s bow dropped beside her cello.

“I’m not above using a nail gun” Wednesday said.

All the sudden Agnes appeared and Enid grumbled under her breath, almost a growl truly.

“What are you doing here?” She asked the redhead.

“Being useful.. which you were not being. Scrolling and giggling.” Agnes said.

“Strike two Agnes” Wednesday said through gritted teeth.

Agnes immediately stopped and looked apologetic but Enid just scoffed and said “let me know when your little stalker isn’t here” and left, upset Wednesday even allowed Agnes around.
__

Wednesday tapped her pen against the table, glaring at the evidence in front of her. She cannot believe she lost almost all of it. Damned crow and their avian.

She huffed and walked out of the dorm, needing some air.

When she walked down the stairs to the.. quad. (Pentagon) when Agnes appeared.

_
(Jump to Enid POV)

Enid watched as Wednesday and Agnes talked. As if they were in some sort of secret group. She missed Wednesday. Why was she suddenly pushing her away? After everything they have been through.

Enid huffed and smiled, asking “hey Wednesday! Come sit with us. Have some fun?”

Agnes and Wednesday made eye contact and Agnes dissipated, only making enid roll her eyes.

When Wednesday turned back towards her she closed the paper she was holding and said “I’m where fun goes to die”

Enid’s face dropped as Wednesday calls for thing and goes to a different table. Discussing something with the appendage.

Enid had it! She was going to talk to Wednesday.

So she stood up, stomped her way over, giving an extra stomp for flare and said “I know your a chronic under sharer but I figured after last year we would be closer”
Wednesday rolled her eyes and turned around. “Seems like you’d rather hang around with creepy red riding hood instead of me” Enid said, crossing her arms, even puffing out her chest a little.

Wednesday couldn’t deal with this right now. She needed to find the avian and god she needed this headache to go away! “As if you haven’t been preoccupied” Wednesday muttered, trying to figure out how to end this conversation. Looking around for some sort of an escape.. that’s when she saw them. The crows. No no no. This isn’t how it’s supposed to happen. “Enid. Get inside now” Wednesday said, interrupting whatever the blonde had said.

“What? No! Wednesday I’m your best friend I’m not gonna let you push me away-“

“ENID!” Wednesday shouted, losing her cool as she turned towards the blonde.

As if that triggered it the birds came flying in from seemingly every direction. One swiped Wednesday’s arm and she winced in pain but ignored it as she yelled to Enid “table!” Not letting this be it. She cannot- no will not let Enid die today.

They shelter with the table while Wednesday tries to fend off the birds, only getting cut in the process.

She doesn’t even register her mother and the principal entering the quad until her mother shouts “THING!” In horror.

The girls look up and see thing being flown away, Wednesday wishes she could do something, anything. She looks towards the window and sees the avian, they seem to make eye contact even though the avians eyes are covered. Wednesday sees Enid move suddenly “Enid!” She shouts.

Enid rushes forward and catches a falling thing.

Wednesday’s head snapped back to the avian who was now looking around panicked. She needed to get to them.

So she jumped up despite the pain in her left leg and ran. She chased them through hidden doorways and finally found their cloak on the stairwell leading towards the music room. So she goes into said room.

She finds Dr fairburn.

“Ms Addams. How are you today?” She asked.

Wednesday shook off the question and said “I believe you dropped this” holding up the cloak.

“Whatever do you-“

“Oh! Wednesday. I don’t wanna know how you two know each other” ms capri said, walking Into the room with a tea tray.

“Wednesday has helped with Tyler galpin” Dr fairburn said.

Ms capri looked at Wednesday oddly at that statement.

“As much as I would love to stay for tea. I must go” Dr fairburn said, but before she left she stated “your visit to Tyler gave me an idea I think just might work. I will let you know”

Wednesday twisted her neck and said “nothing will change him. Even before he knew his true nature he was manipulative”

“I want us to be more than friends” rings through her head.

“You cannot change him”

“I know your personal experience with him sways your opinion. But I strongly disagree with that statement” Dr fairburn said, walking away.

Wednesday turned to ms capri, looking her up and down before saying “you seem out of breath”

“I just ran to get a tea tray.” Ms capri said, her eyes narrowing towards Wednesday. “I didn’t know you had a personal relationship with Tyler galpin” Ms capri asked.

Wednesday almost always Flinched when his name was said, even if it was just a twitch in her face.
“You said you came here because of what happened last semester”

“I heard what happened. I don’t know what happened” capri challenged, something akin to.. sympathy in her eyes.

“Yes. I knew the Hyde outside of my investigation.” Wednesday said, her voice slightly raw.

“Wednesday Friday Addams” Morticia’s voice boomed into the room.

Wednesday closed her eyes in regret. Something Ms Capri seemed to find humorous as she said “I will give you two a minute”

Once Capri left Wednesday was scolded by her mother. She was just glad her mother didn’t see her injuries. However minor they were, her mother would fret.
__

Wednesday entered the dorm and saw it was empty, so she grabbed her first aid kit and took her jacket off, trying to get a look at the wound.

“Wednesday are you in here?” Enid’s voice asked as she entered the room.

Wednesday sighed. Why couldn’t everyone just leave her be?

When Enid saw her the blondes eyes widened and she rushed over “oh my god! Are you ok?”

“I am fine Enid” Wednesday said, not helping her claim flinching when Enid touched her shoulder to take a look.

“That doesn’t look fine”

Enid was right. Unfortunately during the whole debacle the birds had scratched up her arms a decent amount, one also got a good bite out of her calf. And one got a good clean slice of her shoulder.

“Seriously Enid. I am fin-“

“Let me help you.”

“Enid-“

“Please” Enid’s voice was so desperate. Good god she even pulled out the puppy eyes.

Wednesday sighed “fine”

“Ok. Take your shirt off” Enid said, immediately blushing at her words.

“How about a tank top?” Wednesday offered, hating how her own cheeks heat up.

“Yeah, ahem, yeah that sounds good- wait do you even own a tank top?” Enid asked.

“Yes Enid. They are called undershirts” Wednesday said, looking at Enid fondly. When Enid continued to stare Wednesday cleared her throat and said “let me get changed then you can treat me like a helpless animal”

“Ok- wait-“

Wednesday smirked as she walked towards her closet. Grabbing her black tank top she planned to wear under her dress to the gala.

She changed into it and also changed into some sleep shorts she only wore during the summer, she honestly didn’t even know why she had packed them.

When she walked out she felt Enid’s eyes wander, she didn’t hate it. Which she hated it. If that made sense.

She sat down and Enid began tending to the wound on her arm, muttering something about recklessness under her breath.

“I was not reckless” Wednesday stated.

“Yes you were Wednesday. Running after a killer like that? Seriously?” Enid asked, pausing what she was doing to glare at Wednesday.

Wednesday deflated. It’s not reckless to her. As long as Enid was safe. A bird screeched in the distance, making Wednesday whip her head towards their shared window. “Is the window locked?”

“Uh no I don’t-“ Enid started to say but was stopped as Wednesday rushed forward completely removing all the bandage Enid just wrapped around her arm. “Really?” Enid muttered following Wednesday.

Wednesday quickly made work of locking the window, making eye contact with the one eyed bird who sat on the balcony.
“Wait. Is that one of the birds?” Enid asked.
Wednesday didn’t answer, just stared the bird down. It ruffled its feathers feigning disdain before it flew off. “Ok so Agnes and birds are stalking you now. That’s just Great.”

“At least Agnes is useful” Wednesday muttered under her breath.

“Oh that’s when you choose to comment?” Enid asked, dragging Wednesday back to the bed to finish tending to her scratches.

Wednesday rolled her eyes and let the girl fix up her leg and apply lotion to some of the scratches. Something she could have done herself.

“Oh, it looks like you got one right here”
Enid said, reaching up to just above Wednesday’s jaw, having to slightly lean in closer from her past position.

Wednesday could feel Enid’s breath. She was so close. She felt the cold lotion sting into her wound, but it was quickly covered by Enid’s warm hands. “Enid…” Enid just nodded in response to.. whatever that even was. A statement? A question? Wednesday doesn’t even know. All she knows is Enid just looked at her lips and she swears they are getting closer.

No. No. No. no.

You promised yourself! She screamed internally. leaning away before standing up.

Never again. Not after him. It wasn’t worth the risk.

A memory of the electricity that shot down her spine as the vision came to her while their lips were connected, made her wince.

Stop thinking of him.

He doesn’t matter.

That’s what she told herself. Over and over again. Trying to break out of this panic, as his eyes loomed in her mind. Ready to kill. She was so easy to kill.

She hadn’t even noticed Enid deflate and say “I uhm, I’m gonna go check on- something”

Now she was alone. She was alone after almost kissing Enid. And her thoughts are poisoned by the boy who stole something she could never get back.

She couldn’t breathe as she felt his hand around her neck, she could even still feel the bark of the tree against her back.

“I forgot my- Wednesday?” Enid asked, rushing over to Wednesday, who was now sitting down leaning against her bed reaching for her neck.

Enid. Enid. Enid.

Enid was there, she saved her. She was safe. They were both alive. Enid was alive.

Blue eyes met brown and Wednesday leaned into Enid’s touch, letting herself be held as she just focused on the fact that Enid’s heart was still beating.

__

Ok what the hell was that!? Enid thought as she held a sleeping Wednesday in her arms.

She knew what happened last year affected Wednesday far more than the girl would like to admit. But seeing her having a panic attack? That was something Enid never thought no- never wanted to see.

She held the girl she somehow fell for over the summer, in her arms as her breathing slowed till she fell asleep. And guess what? Wednesday didn’t cry, nope. Not one single tear. She really wants to keep that no crying streak going. Enid thought, chuckling light to herself.

Enid looked down at the girl and whispered “I wish I could tell you how I feel”

To be honest it had even caught Enid off guard. They had been, close. During the school year. But when they exchanged letters over the summer, it became all Enid lived for truly. It was what she looked forwards to every week. She still has every letter Wednesday sent her.

During that time Enid had run into an old friend, Mike. He and her were middle school recess BF/GF. The kind of thing that’s not real. Never is. Just something to brag about to your classmates.

When Enid asked how he was he mentioned his boyfriend. Enid can’t explain why it made her think, maybe because they had shared experiences.. or something else. She had been around gay couples before. But hearing how he talked about his partner invoked something in her.

So she did what every teenager questioning their sexuality does. She took an am I gay test.

And she was a big fat lesbian with a big fat lesbian crush on her goth roommate. She had tried to deny it, for so long. But after camp Jericho it was impossible not to accept it.

Enid just sighed as she thought of everything that has happened this year. She needs to stop Wednesday from pushing her away. She’s allowed it, she’s not going to anymore.

That’s the only thought in her mind as she fell asleep. Only waking up in the morning with Wednesday gone.

__

When she saw the goth girl again she was talking with Agnes, it seemed heated and when she walked over she saw blueprints to willow hill?

“Why the hell do you have these out?” Enid asked, startling Wednesday slightly.

“My uncle is trapped inside willow hill. I must retrieve him” Wednesday said.

Enid sighed, knowing that Wednesday wouldn’t budge when it came to her family. So she just walked to the window and listened to the plan, awaiting her part.

(Rest of the scene stays)
___

(Huge jump)

Wednesday ushered the woman forward when a sudden sense of dread filled her entire being. She turned just as the Hyde did. Even from all the way down the hallway she could see his smirk as he saw her.

“Go.” Wednesday said, pushing the woman behind her. “Now!” Her voice now firmer than before.

The woman listened and Wednesday looked back just as Tyler began to charge towards her.

She couldn’t explain why she didn’t run. Her first thought would be that she was paralyzed by fear. But what she was truly paralyzed by was memories as she tried to find the face of the boy who had once seemed so innocent in those monsters eyes.

But his innocence was never there, something he was never capable of.

As he stopped short just of her Wednesday sees the gleam in his eye that she only saw once before. As she was pinned against a tree unable to breathe.

Before she knew it he picked her up, just like last time. He slammed her against the floor drool falling onto her face as he leans in closer and closer. Wednesday’s vision goes in and out as she feels blood pool in the back of her head then suddenly bullets began flying from a security guard who was now surely doomed to die.

They hit Tyler and he roared in anger before he picked Wednesday up again, this time throwing her out the window while he dealt with the guard.

He hadn’t expected the police, or else he would have finished what he started.

___

The hairs on Enid’s neck stood up as the Hyde ran through the front gates.

If Tyler escaped.. that meant.

No no no.

Enid ran forwards ignoring Agnes’s protests.

Once she broke through the mess of police she saw her.

Thing was poking at her cheek as she lie lifeless on the floor. Her head split open as blood poured out onto the street, spreading farther due to the rain.

Enid was frozen. She didn’t know what to say or do- she. All the sudden paramedics arrived. When had that happened? And she was being pulled back? What? Her hands covered in her best friend’s blood. Her knees scraped by glass.

When had she kneeled next to Wednesday?

Suddenly Mrs Addams is ahead of her. Asking her what happened. The lighting of the hospital waiting room showing the terror on the elder seer clearly. Enid shakily explained what happened. Did she even know what happened?

She didn’t even realize it was morning already. All she knew now was that her best friend- no. Possibly the first person she ever loved. Was in a coma.

End of chapter.

Chapter 5.

Wednesday couldn’t believe it. Weems was her spirit guide.. and now she was currently being scolded by said woman.

“You lied to the one you have feelings for Enid Sinclair.”

“I was protecting her- wait. I do not have feelings for her-“

“Lying will not help you miss Addams” Weems said before continuing.

Wednesday woke up with a start. She looked around and was thankful she didn’t see the meddlesome spirit. Instead she found something worse. Her mother.

“Oh darling! Your awake! Gomez she’s awake!” Morticia cried out.

Oh dear lord-

“Wednesday it is so good to see your scathing glare!” Morticia said, her hand brushing the air around Wednesday’s cheek.

Her father walked in, “oh my scorpion! It is so good to see you awake! This month has been dreadfully long!”

Month!?

Wednesday say up straighter and asked “Where’s Enid?”

“Enid is fine darling.” Her mother said, placing a comforting hand on her arm.

“No she’s not- Tyler” she winced as her stomach curled at his name “promised he would kill her I need-“

“What you need is to rest.” Her father said, his voice stern.

Wednesday froze. Whenever her father sounded like that there was no room for compromise.

“You will stay at the cottage until you feel better. Now I have some of your clothes over there my darling. Gomez go fetch pugsley. I am going to call Enid, she will be so happy to hear you are awake” Morticia said, smiling brightly before she laid a kiss on Wednesday’s still broken head.

As soon as they left Wednesday changed, ignoring how her vision blurred in and out and how this ringing in her ear hadn’t gone away.
__

Enid had just gotten an update from
Morticia. Wednesday was awake. She had talked with Morticia about what the plan was for Wednesday. Enid understood why Wednesday should be staying at the cottage. She did. But she’s going to miss her roomie.

She sat drawing in her journal when Wednesday walked into the door.

“Wednesday?” She asked, standing up and rushing forward. she restrained herself from hugging the girl. Even if it took all her willpower. She watched as Wednesday squinted her eyes at something to Enid’s side and asked “what are you doing here?”

Enid looked over to where Wednesday was looking.. wondering if she should have been released so soon. “Uhh I live here remember? You’re probably still sore from your injuries.” Wednesday walked past her, glaring at thin air. Not abnormal but not normal all the same. “Your mom said you were gonna stay at the cottage while you healed”

“I don’t need her help” Wednesday said through gritted teeth. “Besides. I need to find Tyler”

Enid saw Wednesday’s face flinch ever so slightly as she said the monsters name. “The sheriff said he is either dead or far away from Jericho.” Enid answered, hoping to ease Wednesday’s worries.

“Unless his spirit visited me, he is still very much alive and in Jericho.” Wednesday stated, turning back to Enid.

“What? you saw him!? Where? Wednesday I swear the next time I se-“

“You will do nothing of the sorts. He has made his threat to you plainly clear.” Wednesday said, stepping slightly closer trying to convey her point more broadly.

(Rest stays the same)
___

Wednesday sat in Capri’s office, looking down at the papers.

Who would have known?

When said teacher entered the room she smiled at Wednesday “oh Wednesday it’s good to see you among the living. Not many people can say they survived a Hyde attack”

“You can” Wednesday stated, flipping around the papers and watched as Capri froze.

“How dare you go through my things!” Capri said, gathering her things as her eyes became frantic.

“You survived a Hyde attack. Your boyfriend.. looks like quite the massacre” Wednesday said.

When Capri only looked at the floor Wednesday sighed and began to walk away “I never knew Alfies true nature. It wasn’t until that night.. luckily it was a full moon so I was able to stop him”

Wednesday felt a flicker of empathy as she turned saying “you fell in love with a monster.”

“His master was in love with him too.” Wednesday nodded and saw Capri look into her eyes before saying “he killed her by accident. After that..”

“I heard a Hyde can’t survive without their masters” Wednesday said, stepping forward slightly.

“Males can’t, but the females are stronger. Especially if they withhold transforming.” Capri said.

Wednesday thought for a moment, there has to be something she could do.. “how common is it for a Hyde to kill their master?”

“From what I know. It happens almost every time.” Capri said, something like a warning flashing into her eyes.
Wednesday thought that maybe, if Thornhill unlocked Tyler, she had a failsafe. She needed to get her diaries. She smirked to herself and turned but was stopped by Capri’s voice. “You had a relationship with Tyler didn’t you?” Wednesday froze, her entire body going into fight mode just at the mention of his name.

“Why ever would you think such a thing?” Wednesday asked, not turning around. Not able to move truly.

“That look in your eyes. It’s the same one I had the first few years after.. everything.” Capri said.

Wednesday turned, “I don’t need your pity” she said through gritted teeth.

“I’m not giving it. Just know that it was never your fault.” Capri said.

That struck a cord in Wednesday and she stepped forward spitting out “of course it was my fault. I let him near everyone I cared about- I let him kis-“ she stopped short as soon as she felt tears sting her eyes.

“I can tell you one thing. It is never the survivors fault.”

“Survivor?”

“Yes Wednesday. You prevailed from not just a physical battle, but an emotional one. You were a survivor of emotional abuse. And if you ever want to talk. I am here.” Capri said.

Wednesday gulped before she straightened herself, walking away.

__

Enid sat at a table, alone and angry.

That is precisely when Bianca chose to show up. “Hey Enid.. what’s wrong?”

Enid huffed “Wednesday and me got into a fight” Bianca opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t as Enid continued “I mean can you believe she thinks I got lucky when I beat Tyler? When I was the one who saved her life! And now she’s off chasing him as if she can beat him alone.”

“Wait.. she’s going after Tyler?” Bianca asked.

“Uhh yeah. That’s what she seemed to be planning.” Enid said.

Bianca sighed, “dammit. Look we will get the nightshades together tonight and come up with a plan”

“Really?”

“Of course Enid. Plus I would really love to say I saved Wednesday Addams life again.” Enid giggled, “oh. Can you get thing to help?”

Enid nodded.

(For the Morticia “court” scene let’s just say she said “tame”)
__

Wednesday had not found a fail safe in the books but she found a recipe to control Tyler in laurels books, if she could control him. Keep him in his human form, she could kill him.

As she was planning she heard from Agnes that the nightshades were meeting up.. so she investigated. Why not?

She walked towards Iago tower, ignoring how it sounded as if there were water in her ears. She tried to pop them but nothing seemed to work, so she just read lips more carefully.

When she arrived she heard Enid say “Tyler galpin wants to kill me. Is that reason enough?”

“How do you know that?” Ajax asked.

“Because he told me.” Wednesday said, appearing behind Ajax.

Enid crossed her arms and said “I’m not backing down Wednesday”

“I know. I have a plan.” Wednesday said.

“to what? kill him?” Enid asked.

“Yes. But first, control him.” Wednesday said.

“What? Wednesday that’s not possible.” Enid said.

“It is. I have Thornhill’s books. Do you really believe she just knew how to master a Hyde?” Wednesday said, lifting her eyebrow in challenge.

Enid gave up and let Wednesday explain her plan.
-

Wednesday rolled her eyes as Enid paced in front of her while she made the recipe, she groaned and said “Wednesday I really do not like this plan. You have to get awfully close to someone who just tried to kill you. Also killing him is extreme, I get it he’s a bad dude. But going out of our way to kill him makes us bad as well!”

“She has a point” Weems said, unhelpful from the back of the room.

“Yes. But he thrives off emotional torture, if he thinks he has any chance of making me suffer emotionally he will take it.” Wednesday said.

“Ok sure. But Wednesday, Tyler has to transform-“ Wednesday winced at his name “into his Hyde form, that has so many variables. I mean you said yourself tyler”-stop saying his name-“is weak because he killed Thornhill! What if we just hide until nature runs its course?” Enid asked.

“I agree with miss Sinclair it is best if you just take Enid and go into hiding.” Weems said.

What so he can go after Eugene again?
Besides I need to look him in the eye as he dies. Take every last bit of his innocence just like he did mine. Wednesday thought bitterly.

“Are you not gonna answer me? Look Tyler-“

“Stop saying his name!” Wednesday snapped, turning to Enid who now wore a shocked face. “Please” Wednesday’s voice cracked. Even weems seemed shocked.

“If you can’t even hear his name how are you supposed to kill him?” Enid asked.

“I would like to know the answer to that.” Weems said.

God her head wouldn’t stop pounding. She felt thing tapped her hand.. when had he appeared, god her vision has become blurry again- and that ringing in her ear is back.

“Wednesday. He is going to die either way. Why do you need to be the one to kill him?” Enid’s muffled voice asked.

Everything inside Wednesday snapped, “because he poisoned it all- He poisoned my trust, my first k-“ Wednesday’s voice cracked as she looked to Enid. Who she has so badly wanted to be with since the beginning of the year, but all these thoughts have stopped her. Memories of Tyler’s lips against hers whenever her and Enid even grow close to kissing. She hates it. He even poisoned Enid. “He took nearly everything from me Enid… and he will understand what that feels like as he dies from my hands” Wednesday hated how tears spilled from her eyes.

Enid’s gaze turned impossibly soft as she sighed, “So what? You kill him, then what? You’re free from those memories? Those feelings? Wednesday you can’t just put all your feelings into a box and not expect them to explode one day.” Enid took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Wednesday’s frightened ones, as she began stepping closer, “killing Tyler isn’t the answer. This- plan isn’t the answer.” Enid said, wiping a tear from Wednesday’s face. Her touch so soft, it removed every cold feeling inside of Wednesday.

“Ok. But he is going to come for us, tonight Enid.” Wednesday said.

“Alright. Then what’s a place Tyler doesn’t know about?” Enid asked.

Wednesday thought for a moment, “the nightshades library.”

“We hide there until morning. Tyler is smart enough to know not to come after us in the day. We will plan what to do next tomorrow” she said, her hand still on Wednesday’s cheek. Wednesday leaned into the touch as she nodded.

__

Once they told the group the change of plans Bianca said they will stand watch, and text enid if Tyler shows up.

So now Wednesday and Enid walk towards the nightshades library. The long windows beside them, shining the moon inside. But Wednesday stops suddenly, feeling the need to say something.

She was tired of letting her memories control her. Tyler was as good as dead, she didn’t need to think of him anymore.

So she took Enid’s hand once Enid stopped, stepped forwards and said, “Enid.. I- I have been having a difficult time, opening up.” She felt Enid squeeze her hand “but I just, I wanted to tell you something before I lose the nerve” Enid had never seen Wednesday so nervous. “I don’t truly know how to say this..” Wednesday’s eyes met Enid’s “but you are the only person I trust Enid. The only person that truly makes me feel safe, I cannot explain these feelings you seem to bring out of me, it is unbelievable. Something I never thought possible for me to feel- I- I”

“Wednesday” Enid said, placing a hand on the girls cheek. “I know.”

They both began to slowly lean into each other, and just as their lips brushed-

*clap clap clap*
“Didn’t think ya had it in you Wednesday” Tyler’s muffled voice said.

Everything came rushing back to Wednesday and she pulled so far away from Enid she hit the wall. Her mouth went dry, her hands began to shake.

“Tyler-“ Wednesday said, her eyes wide.

“I see you didn’t miss me too much.” Tyler said, stalking forwards. His steps unsteady and weak.

Enid jumped to Wednesday, standing in front of her, “I won’t let you hurt her”

Tyler smiled, and he began to transform, it taking longer than it usually did.

 

“Enid you need to leave” Wednesday said, grabbing Enid’s arm and pushing her behind herself. “You can’t be here. This is between me and him-“

“No I am not gonna just leave you-“ before she could finish her sentence Tyler threw Wednesday across the room with the swipe of his monstrous hand.

It knocks Enid back just by standing near. Now she stares up at Tyler as he lifts his clawed hand ready to slice her into a million pieces-

Wednesday lunged forward jumping on the clawed hand. The Hyde smiled as he threw her again, this time approaching her, slowly.
Wednesday looked over at Enid, who was standing up “WEDNESDAY!” Enid cried, rushing to Wednesday, but she doesn’t make it as Bianca appears grabbing her and holding her back. Enid’s claws retract as her fingers extend, ready to transform.. what?

Bianca looks at Wednesday, a moment of eye contact is all she needs. She tears her necklace off and whispers in Enid’s ear “sleep” and Enid’s body falls limp in her arms.

Wednesday looks back to Tyler, he’s above her now, his drool falling onto her face. she closes her eyes, and just imagines Enid’s blue eyes. She feels his breath against her face and- glass shattering- she opens her eyes to see a second Hyde throw Tyler across the room, she falls onto her elbows and stares up at it as it mimics Tyler’s movements towards Enid and she is about to accept her fate when-

“Francoise! We had a deal” her mother’s voice booms out.

The Hyde looks towards her mother, then back at Wednesday, and seemingly sighs before looking back and Tyler and pointing for him to leave, following behind him.

“Wednesday Friday Addams!” Her mother said.

Wednesday spun around and said “mother Listen-“

“One word and I’m taking you out of nevermore” Morticia said.

Wednesday closed her eyes for a moment and asked “was that Tyler’s mother?”

“Yes.”

“What deal did you-“

“She will leave with Tyler” Morticia said, knowing what Wednesday was going to ask.

“You believe the word of a Hyde?” Wednesday asked, her voice raising.

“I believe the word of a mother” Morticia said, her words final.

Wednesday huffed, then turned and walked towards Bianca and Enid. “Is she ok?”

“Yeah, here” Bianca whispered to Enid “when I snap you will wake and you will be calm” Bianca snaps.

Enid wakes with a gasp, looking around, calm, but still frantic somehow.
“Wednesday-“

“Enid he’s gone” Wednesday said, kneeling in front of Enid.

Enid looked at Wednesday betrayed, “how could you do that? What the fuck were you thinking Wednesday!” Enid said, standing up, losing her balance slightly, Wednesday moved to catch her but Enid slapped her hand away, tears in her eyes as she said “no, I can’t even look at you right now.” Before turning and walking away.

“Enid!” Wednesday called, but she didn’t even look back.

Bianca looked at Morticia then at Wednesday “stop making me have to save your ass alright?” Before walking away, leaving a teary eyed Wednesday.

Wednesday stands up and rubs at her face, ignoring her mother as she walked past her. Back to her dorm. Where she waits all night for Enid to return. She doesn’t. She’s left alone with just the ringing in her ears, it’s so loud she doesn’t hear the familiar howl in the distance.

End of chapter.

Chapter Text

Chapter 6.
I’m so excited yall.
___

Wednesday tried to flush out her ears.. don’t ask why she has such a machine. But nothing worked, her hearing was muffled. She shook it off and walked out, ready to head off to the principles office.

Her vision has grown better, it only blurred when she had a headache, which was far too often now. But today she had a headache, so that’s how she almost ran into the door as she walked into the principles office…

When she arrived she saw Enid, her eyes were red from crying. Had she been the cause of that? Of course she had….

(Skip ahead)

“And what do you have to do with all
Of this?” The sherif asked Enid.

Enid took a deep breath and said “we were going to hide out in the nightshades library.. and we stopped to” her eyes flicked to Wednesday “talk. When Tyler showed up.” Enid’s voice was muffled. Wednesday Hated that.

The sheriff shook her head and told Enid she was dismissed, Wednesday felt cold the moment Enid’s warmth left her back.

She watched her leave, and saw Weems appear, beckoning her. “May I be excused?” Wednesday reluctantly asked.

The sheriff nodded and Wednesday followed the meddlesome spirit.

At least her migraine has gotten softer..

__

Wednesday went back to the dorm, where she found Enid sitting by their window, looking at her claws.

“You almost wolfed out last night. There wasn’t a full moon.” Wednesday said, looking at Enid.

Enid’s head snapped up, “must have been the stress of you being suicidal.”

“I am not suicidal-“

Enid stood up and yelled “then what the hell was last night? Hm?”

“It was the only way to stop him from killing you, enid” Wednesday said, walking to get her jacket. She’s going to see her grandmama.

“Your life is important Wednesday, you can’t go off risking it for me-

Wednesday turned, taking long strides to Enid, they were inches away as Wednesday said “My life is nothing without you in it!” Enid’s eyes widened “Tyler galpin has taken enough from me- hell he may have taken my hearing, but he will never take you from me” Wednesday was breathing heavy, the ringing in her ear has returned, and so has her migraine.

“Wednesday what are you-“

Someone clears their throat and Wednesday turns abruptly, recollecting her jacket and taking calming breathes.

“I hope I’m not interrupting anything” ms capri said.

“You’re fine. I was just heading out” Wednesday said, her voice scratchy as she pushed past Capri.

“Wait. When will you be back.” Enid asked.

Wednesday looked into those blue eyes “I won’t be long. I just need to see my grandmama” she said before leaving.

Enid ran a hand through her hair, ms capri looked at the door Wednesday had just shut with worry in her eyes, but she quickly turned it to Enid as she says “do you wanna tell me what happened last night?”

“It was nothing. Everyone made it out alive-“

“No. Enid, I’m talking about the music room”

(Scene stays the same)

__

When Wednesday returned from her grandmamas she sighed and moved to change back into her nevermore jacket.

When she left her closet Enid entered the room, she was talking as if they never had a fight. Wednesday was confused and nodded along before she began to leave.

“Where are you going?” Enid asked.

“The nevermore graveyard.” Wednesday said, as if it was obvious.

“Uh no you aren’t. Wednesday we have a curfew, I am not missing that gala. Do you even care about my feelings on all of this?” Enid said, moving to guard the window.

“I don’t care” Wednesday said.

“You cared last night” Enid said.
Wednesday froze, looking down at the floor.
“Wednesday you can’t keep doing this to yourself. Have you even looked at yourself lately? Your exhausted” Enid said, stepping closer, Wednesday stepped back. “You know, I wish you could be in my shoes for once, see how it is to watch someone you care about suffer” Enid said, walking away her head hanging low.

Wednesday didn’t respond, she just left.

__

(Stays the same)
__

Enid woke up and her hearing was muffled, when she looked down she saw… what the.

When Wednesday heard her scream she winced, it had been a moment since she had heard something at full volume.

(Stays the same)
__

Enid walked through the quad, she had a killer migraine and- god she squinted as her vision blurred slightly.. is this how Wednesday sees? She already learned Wednesday has been hearing the world muffled, she doesn’t know when it started, but it’s worse than she thought. It’s as if she has water in her ears.

Suddenly Agnes appears in front of her and she jumps, throwing the coffee Agnes was handing her flying.

“Nice job psycho!” Enid said.

Agnes whimpered “I was just bringing you your morning coffee… like I always do” she said.

“Y- you do? Right. Of course you do”

(Stays the same. Sorry I’m getting there this is hard)
__

(After Morticia invites her to dinner)

__

“Principle dort just issued a curfew and I’m-“
How would Wednesday say this? “Certain enid would dismember me if I got her banned from the gala by association” Enid said. Yes, that should work!

“Well Dort already gave you and pugsley permission. Although I’m sure you would enjoy dismemberment by her hand..” Morticia said, a knowing smile on her face.

Ok what the hell was that supposed to mean. “Uhh-“

“Lurch will pick you and your brother up at 7. Arrive on time or lurch will get grumpy, you know what happens when he gets grumpy” Morticia said, walking away.
—

Enid scoured the room trying to find something to help pretend to be Wednesday, when she stumbled upon a journal. Thing signed frantically saying “it is personal!”

“Come on. I am in her body thing.” He stopped signing, resigned.

She opened the journal and found scribbled words, it looked chaotic. You could barely understand the sentences, but she made out a few words “Tyler’s threat. Bird, avian. Enid.” She flipped the page, same thing.. then again “he lied. You fell for it. Why. Why. Why.”

She bit her lower lip in worry and flipped to the most recent page and all it said from top to bottom was. “They all lie.”

She read one more line, it was the final one. “Stop the premonition. Enid will not die.”

“What the hell..” Enid said, she looked at thing “did she have a vision of me dying?”thing looked shameful.. that was answer enough, she put the journal back and said “I need to find Wednesday”

So Enid set off, but she only found capri. Who stopped her from walking by saying “oh Wednesday, I’ve been meaning to speak with you.”

Enid froze, but she wasn’t going to ignore her favorite teacher… so she followed her to the music room.

Capri leaned against the desk and took a deep breath before saying “I recently read the police report from that night.” What? Wait whoa what is happening? “You went through quite a lot Wednesday. I know you Addams say you enjoy torture, but that is with consent.” Capri walked around her desk and sat down, “now, I know you wish to ignore my advice when it comes to the galpin boy-“ Enid can’t explain why but her entire body reacted to his name. “But. Wednesday I am seeing PTSD signs from you… look what you endured falls under domestic abuse. He made you feel safe, then he tortured your mind and body. As much as you may disagree you need to talk to someone about this” capri said, showing her words with her hands as well.

Enid’s breath quickened.. what had Wednesday been talking to capri about? “I remember when I first learned Alfie was a Hyde. It took me a while to realize it wasn’t my fault that I hadn’t known he was a monster.” Ms capri dated a Hyde? What? “I just- I’m here if you ever need to talk. I see how much this is affecting you. I see the way you flinch when someone says his name” she said. She took one deep breath before saying “you’re dismissed.”

“Wait. Where’s enid? She left her phone with me… I wish to be rid of it” Enid faked Wednesday.

Capri shook her head a small smile playing at her face “she’s in the Lupin cages and before you ask I’m not telling you why.”

What?
__

Enid waited at the front gates and suddenly pugsley was next to her, out of breath. “I’m not late right?”

“No” Enid said.

“Thank god. I am not in the mood to clean lurches room again. I still can’t believe you got us in trouble with him three times this summer.” Pugsley said.

Enid almost giggled, but she thought back to when Wednesday had sent a letter. Right. “Well you were the one who had the genius idea to prank him”

“Ok actually that was Parker’s idea and you didn’t stop her” pugsley said, pointing an accusing finger at Enid- Wednesday Jesus.
Enid felt a surge of jealousy run through her. Who’s Parker? “Do uhm.. do you think dad knows I lied to him?”

Uh oh.

“We shall see.” Enid said, straightening her spine.

“Ugh. He totally knows! But I mean what else was I supposed to do? Let them put slurp down?” Pugsley asked.

What? This was about the zombie?
“Yes. He is dangerous pugsley”

“He would never hurt me.” Pugsley muttered.

“Would he hurt me?”

Pugsley looked at her and sighed, “that’s fair.” Lurch pulled up and pugsley moved to sit in the front seat but paused, “nope not risking you hitting the eject button”

The what!?

__

Wednesday sat in the lupin cages when Weems appeared. “Wednesday you need to get out of here”

Wednesday sighed, “it risks Enid’s safety- will you watch over her for now.” After a moment “please?”
Weems sighed and nodded.
__
(Ok so I’m realizing a plot hole with Agnes.. so pretend she still went to the support group when she was stalking thing?? Idk)
(Also instead of “your little creeper told me about your vision of my death.” It’s “thanks for telling me about the vision of my death”)
___

Before Enid could scold Wednesday more her phone rang, it was Agnes. “What Agnes?” She answered.

“Wednesday. I’m in Isaac knights trunk… with a very….. very dead body.” Her voice cracked.. she was crying.

“What Agnes, are you alright?” Wednesday asked, her eyes alarmed.

“It’s too late for me. I’m sending my location now” she said before hanging up.

Wednesday took the phone from Enid, looking at the location. “They are going to willow hill.”

“What Wednesday we need to change back”Enid said.

“Agnes is there because of me, I will not be responsible for her death” Wednesday stated. Turning and walking away.

-

As they made their trek to willow hill Enid asked “who’s Parker?”

“You talked to pugsley?” Wednesday asked, rolling her eyes. Her brother could never keep his mouth shut.

“Well?”

“She is a thorn in my side. We met in middle school, I stopped her bullies. I do not tolerate bullies. Her mother planned to kill us, she stopped her, now she lives with her father. But every so often she visits. The parasite stayed for a month this summer.” Wednesday said. Truly she had enjoyed Parker’s company, it was nice to have something familiar after everything.

“Oh. Cool.” Enid said, looking down.

“What is wrong?”

“I just always thought I was your first friend.” Enid said.

Wednesday sighed, “first of all. My first friend was and forever will be my brother”

“Ok that’s actually really sweet-“

“And Parker is more like a cousin than a friend. An annoying one at that. She stalked your Instagram when I told her you were my roommate. That was a long two hours.” Wednesday muttered the last part.

Enid giggled, only hearing the last part because of how close they had grown.

“Uhm. I have a question”
Wednesday quirked her eyebrow, a silent ‘go on’ “your hearing”

“Enid-“

“No. Just listen. You should tell your parents. Or maybe your dad.. your mom was talking to a Larissa and no one was there..” Enid said.

Wednesday stopped dead in her tracks “she what? Dear god. She was talking to my spirit guide. I should have known they would conspire against me.”

“Oh! Well who is Larissa? Is she an old ancestor like goody?” Enid asked, smiling.

Wednesday rolled her eyes, “I wish. Apparently me and the late principal share blood.”

“Wait.. principle Weems is your spirit guide?” Enid asked.

“Unfortunately.”

“Wow.. you guys like never got along. That must be interesting- wait, when you first came back and I thought you were talking to yourself-“

“Yes. I was talking to her. She seems to think injecting herself into my life will change my view.”

Before Enid could ask more they arrived at willow hill.

__

When Enid saw Tyler, Wednesday’s body had a very real reaction to him. Her mouth dried in fear, goosebumps rising all over her. Her hands began to shake without her helping it. But she stood her ground, taking deep breathes.. she didn’t know Wednesdays body held so much trauma.

__

Once Enid woke up from Tyler throwing her she saw Tyler stalking towards her. He grabbed her by the lapels of her jacket, she heard Agnes scream. Man she really wishes she wasn’t in Wednesdays body right now or else she would be ripping him to shreds. He pushes her against the wall, her feet above the floor.

“Tyler-“ Enid tried. He leaned in, just next to her ear.

“Deja vu huh?” He laughed and moved to choke her but before he could the door he closed on Wednesday banged open. And Wednesday came rushing out, her wolf was magnificent….

She threw Tyler to the side and Enid fell to the ground, gasping for air, but she didn’t have time for that. She ran to the stairs and Wednesday didn’t follow, Wednesday was hovering above Tyler, drool dripping from her fangs.

“WEDNESDAY WE HAVE TO GO NOW” Wednesday’s head snapped towards her and she looked at Tyler snapping at him before running towards Enid.

They made it out just in time.

__

Enid gave Wednesday her jacket when she transformed back. But Wednesday seemed upset. “You should have let me kill him”

“And what? Make you just as bad as him? We aren’t stopping down to his level Wednesday” Enid said.

Wednesday sighed.
(Rest stays)
__

When Wednesday returned to the dorm Enid was waiting for her.

“Hey, you’re back.”

“Indeed. Sorry to keep you up. A nosy spirit needed me” Wednesday said.

Enid giggled. It was good to hear that noise again.

“So, I need to tell you something that happened today” Enid said. “Something I didn’t voice at rotwood’s grave.”

Wednesday felt her muscles tense up but she sat on Enid’s bed, and nodded saying “go on”

“Capri talked to me thinking I was well you. And, well, she said she sees the signs of PTSD from domestic abuse victims in you-“ Wednesday stood up. “-listen please. She said that you should talk to someone. And I just wanted to say, I’m here.”

Wednesday flexed her hands and sat back down. “I- I let him kiss me.” She said, her voice so small.

“Oh baby” Enid said, pulling Wednesday into a hug. The other girl needed it, because she immediately relaxed into it. Breathing in Enid’s scent. Enid pulled away and said “you listen here and you listen good. You will not let one manipulative flyboy ruin your life.” Wednesday let a small smile fall onto her face.

“I- I wish I could rid my thoughts of him. Of his hands dragging me to the crypt. His clawed hands on my neck. But I can’t, they persist no matter what I do. He plagues my thoughts when all I wish to think of is-“ she stopped, looking enid in the eyes. The eye contact was almost too intense for Enid. It felt charged with something they had yet to voice, “you.” Wednesday stood, breaking the moment slightly “I do not want these feelings- I do not even know if I can trust them- I-“

Enid stood, took Wednesday’s face in her hands. “I have feelings for you to Wednesday. And you wanna know how I know they are real?” Wednesday nodded, leaning into Enid’s touch. “Because I cannot imagine my life without you in it. I would kill- I would die for you Wednesday. I tried to suppress it when I learned of my feelings over the summer. But when I saw you again, I realized that I, Enid Sinclair. Am utterly in love with you Wednesday Friday Addams.” Enid said, moving to wipe away the stray tear falling from her own eyes. But Wednesday beats her to it.

“I once told my mother I would never fall in love. But you.. you have gone against every one of my beliefs Enid. I-“ Wednesday took a deep breath “I love you to.”

Enid smiled so widely that Wednesday didn’t have another choice, I mean who could resist? So she kissed her.

No visions. No monsters.

Just Enid’s lips against hers. And It felt as if they were made for one another.

It felt safe. Real. True.

When they pulled away Wednesday smiled and Enid chuckled “oh, by the way. When were you gonna tell me you had dimples?” Enid said, poking at said dimples.

Wednesday glared and Enid only smiled wider. “Also, you’re actually allergic to color?! You could have told me I needed to take pills ya know.” Enid said, resting her hands on Wednesday’s shoulder.

“I ran out of my prescription-“

“Well, your mother picked it up. She found me well you- having a reaction. Anyways, I put it in your drawer”

“Thank you. I should probably take one.” Wednesday said.

Enid nodded, leaning in for one last kiss. Which Wednesday gave with a smile on her face.

End of chapter.

Chapter 7.
_

Wednesday was getting ready for the day when she felt arms wrap around her.

“Hello anima Mia.” She said, leaning into the touch.

Enid giggled into her neck and asked “what does that mean?”

“Anima mia?” Wednesday asked, turning around to face Enid. Enid nodded. “It means ‘my soul.’”

Enid’s eyes lit up and she leaned in and kissed Wednesday.

Wednesday happily returned the kiss. No thoughts of you know who in sight as Enid reached up and placed a hand on her cheek.

She hadn’t had a migraine in hours.

“Eres hermosa” Wednesday murmured against Enid’s mouth.

“Ok now I know that was Spanish.. and the other was Italian? How many languages do you speak?” Enid asked, pulling away and giggling when Wednesday chased her lips.

“Many. But I learned Spanish, Italian, and French very early on. Given the fact it is the language my parents constantly use for terms of endearment” Wednesday said.

Enid titled her head and asked “I know your grandmama has some French in her so I’m guessing that’s where Morticia got it. But Italian?”

“It is where they honeymooned. They had spoken it before because it is a romantic language, but after they honeymooned there, it worsened.” Wednesday said, rolling her eyes.

“Aww.. you were so worried about turning into your mom. You turned into your dad” Enid said, adjusting the lapels on Wednesday’s blazer.

“I did not!” Wednesday said, pouting.

“Sure… wedns.”

Wednesday huffed and Enid just kissed her.

When she pulled away she grabbed Wednesday’s jacket holding it for Wednesday to slide her arms into. When Wednesday did Enid kissed her cheek and said “alright killer. Let’s go”

___

“My lips are sealed for my own safety. I began to profusely vomit after the first five pages” Wednesday said. Her mother seemed disappointed so she added, “Enid enjoyed it far too much. She won’t stop talking about their ‘chemistry’” Wednesday said, rolling her eyes, it was true. Enid was going on about how the characters were just like Gomez and Morticia.

“Well maybe one day you could see what a good romance adds to a story” Morticia said.

“Who says I haven’t?” Wednesday said, lifting an eyebrow in challenge.

Morticia does a similar movement and Wednesday cannot believe she just admitted that so she moves on and says “my premonition has changed mother. Enid no longer dies. One of us does. An Addams.”
Her mother shakes her head in disbelief. Wednesday smirks and says “I would like to sacrifice pugsley.”

“Wednesday.” Her mother scolded.

Wednesday huffed. “You never let me have my fun.”

Her mother shook her head and said “maybe you could torture your brother instead, hmm?”

Wednesday’s smirk returned.

__

Enid was walking to Capris classroom. She had been called there. Probably to be scolded.

When she walked in capri was pacing and she looked up, whisper yelling “why on earth did you leave the lupin cages last night Enid?”

Enid immediately felt defensive and said “blame Agnes. She’s the one who got kidnapped”

Agnes appeared beside her out of thin air and Enid screamed

“That is not fair. I wouldn’t have been ‘kidnapped’ if you hadn’t told me to stay invisible, I should have known you and Wednesday swapped bodies.. she would never say that to me-“

“You know what-“

“Enough! Agnes leave.” Capri said. Once Agnes was gone capri asked “swapped bodies? Explain. Now”

Capri sat down and Enid sighed. “So Wednesday went to Rosaline rotwood’s grave to get her ability back because she had a vision that I died and well then she lost her ability’s because she was abusing them- anyways. I pulled her away and rotwood didn’t like it. So she played a dirty trick on us. So uh.. whenever you saw me yesterday. That was Wednesday”

“That’s why you were able to play the cello?” Capri asked.

“Yes. But anyways, as Wednesday I kind of yelled at Agnes. And she went off.. found Issac knight and the galpin’s pulled a Wednesday and got into their trunk with a very dead body. So before switching back- which if we didn’t by dawn we would have died- we had to save her. By the time we switched back, I would have been caught not being in the cages.” Enid said.

Capri rubbed her temples “I wish I could say that was the weirdest thing I’ve heard. But Enid you can’t do that again ok? Once you are done with your performance you need to go straight back to the lupin cages.”

(Stays the same)

___

Wednesday walked to her dorm and when she opened the door she said “Enid I’ve returned” only to see her grandmama. “Grandmama?”

“Oh hello dear. I was just biding my time enjoying your novel” oh no. “I’ve onto gotten a chapter in but vipers mother Dominica is pitch perfect-“

“Why are you here grandmama?” Wednesday asked, Irritated someone touched her belongings.

“Well, I was crystal balled by your mother. Got an earful about sending you to rotwood. I’m just glad you came out unscathed” Hester’s muffled voice said. Wednesday was really growing tired of her hearing impairment..

“We both know you wouldn’t come all the way down here for that.” Wednesday said.

Grandmama sighed standing up, “your weasel of a principle has doubled his offer. I’ve come to let him down in person. Nothing like seeing the spirit behind a man’s eye disappear to start the day” she began to walk to the door when Wednesday stopped her asking “my roommate wasn’t in here when you arrived by chance?”

“No. But you should get a new one. Far to much color-“

“Trust me grandmama. She’s the only one here who can handle me.” Wednesday immediately refuted.

Hester smirked. “You know I was thinking, maybe you and your mother need some time apart. Come stay with me over the summer. I can get you started in the family business.”

“I will consider it, I would miss torturing pugsley if I said yes.” Wednesday said.

Hester laughed “why of course my darling”

Once she left Weems appeared. “Are you just going to let her manipulate you?”

“Of course not. But I prefer her,
then combing through my mother’s lies” Wednesday said.

“Wednesday-“

Enid walked in-

“I don’t want to hear it. Go meddle in some other relatives life”

Weems rolled her eyes and disappeared.

“A weems thing” Enid asked.

Wednesday turned and felt relief flood through her when she saw Enid. “Yes. She’s insistent that I need to repair my relationship with my mother”

“I mean. She is your spirit guide”

“Careful Enid” Wednesday said.

Enid just sighed. But a smile quickly overtook her face “sooo… I am allowed to go to the gala for my dance.. and that means I’ll be able to have an escort..”

Wednesday stepped forward. “I will escort you to every dance you wish Cara Mia.”

“Never pegged you for a romantic but man I love it.” Enid said, wrapping her arms around Wednesday’s neck.

“And I love you.”

“Ditto. Now.. can I see your dress?”

“No. You will have to wait.”

Enid threw her head back groaning. “You’re no fun.”

Wednesday nodded before she pulled Enid into a deep kiss, causing Enid to gasp, only making Wednesday deepen the kiss more. Enid’s hand found Wednesday’s hair, gripping it tightly, needing something to hold onto as Wednesday nipped at her lower lip. Jesus Christ she was good at this.

“Wednesday” Enid moaned.

Wednesday pulled away, smirking at Enid’s whine. “I’m no fun?”

Enid gasped, hitting Wednesday in the shoulder “you are evil Wednesday Addams.”
Enid smiled but it dropped when she saw the sun was setting. “I need to head to the lupin cages… will you help me carry some stuff down?”

“Of course.”

__
(God that scene with the lupin cages is so
Romantic like hell. So it stays the same until the point I start. Also no Bruno and Enid already picked out her dress. So she says ‘like my dance routine!’)
__

“I have no problem hunting you down. Plus, I always wanted a pet wolf.” Wednesday said, smirking on the last part.

“Wednesday” Enid scolded.

“What? You said you needed distractions” Wednesday said.

Enid giggled, “well, as long as I have you I won’t need anything else.”

Wednesday couldn’t help the small smile that graced her face. Before she could lean in and kiss Enid Ajax had to ruin the moment.

__

The gala had begun. She explained the plan to Enid. Who she was now waiting on to enter the gala. She closed her eyes as another headache hit her. Her ears ringing, at least it muffled the loud music and chatter.

“Wow… you look.. I can’t even describe how beautiful you look Wednesday” Enid’s muffled voice said.

Wednesday’s eyes shot open, giving them a moment to readjust she saw Enid. “bellissima..” Wednesday murmured.

“That mean you like it?” Enid whispered, she signed what she said, shocking Wednesday.

Wednesday stepped forward, taking Enid’s hand, she leaned down and kissed it while saying “you shine brighter than the sun mi lobo. And your signing?”

Enid blushed and said “I have picked up a few things from thing” she said.

“Thank you” Wednesday said.

“Shall we?” She asked, waving her arm to the dance floor.

“We shall.”

The entered from the back once enid noticed Wednesday rub her temples. She knew the girl had been having headaches often since willow hill.

“Theres Wednesday” pugsley’s voice said.

Wednesday and Enid walked towards the Addams clan.. and grandmama. “Oh look at us one unhappy family…. And a colorful wolf”

“Enid darling it is good to see you” Morticia said.

“It’s good to see you to Mrs Addams.” Enid said, smiling.

“We saved a spot for you, our little serotonin supply!” Gomez said. Enid smiled brightly

“Enid come look at the meat they’re serving! It’s really juicy!” Pugsley said. Enid held down a Gag and walked over, sitting next to pugsley.

Wednesday had introduced them a few hours back, before the gala. Pugsley had begged to see Enid’s fangs and claws. She did so and now pugsley thinks Enid is the best person to be around.

Wednesday nodded at Enid in a goodbye and her grandmama came over and said “I saved you the spot next to me. I need to know which teachers to fire” Wednesday frowned. She wanted to sit next to Enid. But she looked over and saw that Enid was happy enough next to pugsley.

She didn’t sit anyways, because she saw Bianca.

Meanwhile Enid was laughing while pugsley electrocuted the meat making the blood spurt. Sure it was gross but still pretty cool.

But before she could begin to eat her now.. fried meat ms capri walked over and said, “Enid I need a word”

Enid sighed and followed capri.

“Ok.. so Claudia is sick”

“What! So I have no partner?” Enid asked.

“It’s alright Enid, it doesn’t need to have two people. Go find a private room and have a moment to yourself to figure out how you can adjust it. I need to go back to the orchestra” Capri said, walking away.

Enid groaned and went to the only room she knows she could be alone in. The crime scene. Wednesday’s rubbing off on her..

_

“What about your dance routine?” Agnes asked.

“Well my dance partner is sick and as much as I wish I could I probably can’t blackmail Wednesday into dancing with me-“

“I’ll dance with you.” Agnes said.

“You don’t even know my choreography”
Enid said. Agnes shrank “unless you’ve been stalking my rehearsals!”
They both burst into laughter.
“Come on. Let’s go get you ready for this!”

Agnes smiled and Enid really saw the innocence in the girl in that moment. She vowed she would take care of her.

So she did. She helped Agnes with her makeup and complimented her on the dress she had picked out. And now she waited for Wednesday to let her know what to do next with the plan. Agnes Invisible beside her.

__

After Wednesday explained the plan Enid said “wait.. you promised me a waltz”

“I did no such thing-“

“Please. It’s the last song before my dance. Then I have to go to the lupin cages” Enid said, pouting.

“It’s the second to last song” Wednesday said. Enid just pouted even more.

“Fine.”

She led Enid to the dance floor and once the song began she lead the dance “how are you so good at this?” Enid asked.

“My father has been teaching me since I was five years old. He always said I used to step on him with all my eleven toes.” Wednesday said.

“You mean ten?” Enid asked, loving the feeling of Wednesday’s hand on her waist.

“No. I have six toes on one foot” Wednesday stated.

Enid chuckled in shock “seriously? Wow, just wanted to beat your brother for who was the most Addams sibling huh?” Enid asked.

“I also got my uncles taste in women” Wednesday whispered.

“Werewolves?” Enid asked.

“Colorful and deadly” Wednesday said smirking.

Enid laughed and Wednesday smiled. She loved Enid’s laugh.

“Have you seen my brother?” Wednesday asked suddenly.

“No. I think I saw him leaving earlier. But I didn’t question it, this doesn’t seem like his scene” Enid said.
Wednesday nodded but looked worried. “You’re a good sister.”

_

When the song came to an end Enid said “I am gonna go warm up with Agnes. I’ll see you later”

“Goodbye mi corazón” Wednesday said.

Before Wednesday could exit the dance floor her father showed up asking “may I have this dance?”

“As long as you don’t mind my toes” Wednesday teased.

Her father laughed and took her hand, this time he led her as the next song began.

“So, you and your wolf”

“Tread very carefully father” Wednesday said.

“I won’t push. I just, I am proud of you my little scorpion. She’s quite the wolf.” Gomez said.

“She is.” Wednesday pauses for a moment, not wanting to open up. But this was her father. The man who would accept her no matter what. The man who read her to sleep almost every night after Nero died. He always knew what to say “I am not quite sure I deserve her”

“Ahh my little raincloud. That is not for us to decide. We try our best, treat them like queens. And they deem if we are worthy of them or not” Gomez said, as he twirled her.

“That’s terrifying father” Wednesday said.

“And that is why love is so beautiful.” Gomez said.

Wednesday nodded, “thank you father. Although it may not seem like it.. I appreciate you and mother showing me and pugsley what true love looks like”

“Why of course! Now.. when is your wolf coming for dinner? We must make it official!” Gomez said, smiling wildly.

Oh god what has she done….

The song came to an end and Wednesday said “excuse me father. I must go find a suitable place to watch enids performance.”

He nodded.
She walked away, nodding to Bianca, letting her know everything is on track.

Time for the fun to really begin.
__

After everything.

Enid had given her quick statement before saying she needed to leave, getting capri to help her.. get out of the police questioning.

But before she left she went up to Wednesday and said “hey, I’ll see you later yeah?”

“Of course mi amore.” Wednesday said.

Enid leaned in and pecked Wednesday’s lips before running off to the lupin cages.

Bianca walked up and said “about time that happened”

Wednesday turned and glared at her. But it softened and she asked “are you alright? I’ve heard other people don’t enjoy near death experiences”

Bianca chuckled “yes I’m fine Wednesday”

Wednesday nodded. She paused for a moment before reaching into her pocket and grabbing the locket “no one should be able to hold this power”

“Agreed” Bianca said.

Wednesday smirked, dropping it before smashing it with her heel.

Bianca smiled even wider. “I don’t know how you hacked my siren song, but thank you.”

“It’s not me you should thank” Wednesday said, nodding to Ajax.

_

As Wednesday ran through the woods, the very woods she once searched for Eugene in. Her voice filled with panic as she called for him.

She ignored how her dress ripped and thorns pricked at her legs.

Her hearing had somehow cleared up in this moment, maybe it was the adrenaline. Or maybe it was sheer will and hope that pugsley would call back to her.

But that wasn’t what happened.. because he wasn’t there. He was gone.

This was all her fault…

The ringing in her ear returned. Just like her guilt.

End of chapter.

Chapter Text

The first thing Wednesday did after she heard that the police had found nothing was go to the lupin cages. She needed Enid.

When she entered Enid smiled but it immediately dropped when she saw the state of Wednesday’s dress. “What happened?”

“Issac got pugsley.” Wednesday said, her voice breaking. After everything, she was tired of holding herself up.

“What? Wednesday”

“I should have been there- I could have-“

“No Wednesday this is not your fault.” Enid tried to reach for her but the bars got in the way.

“Ok. Wednesday go get the key and then come here and hang out with me ok?” Enid said.

“I wish to shower first” Wednesday said, realizing finally how dirty she was.

“Ok. But come straight back.”

__
Wednesday changed into far more comfortable clothes after showering and returned.

She went into the cages with Enid (she had even took more of her pills as precaution) and immediately fell into girls arms.

“I’m here. I got you.” Enid said.

Wednesday let herself cry. She had let her brother down. She had let her entire family down.

Enid kissed the top of the girls head and whispered “come on. Let’s watch a movie. You can pick- no you can not pick the human centipede”

“Fine” Wednesday said.

They sat down, and Enid had to suppress a squeal when Wednesday cuddled into her side as she pressed play on her computer.

Of course Wednesday chose a horror movie. But she chose a more lax one for Enid’s sake. So Halloween it is.

Sometime during the movie Wednesday had fallen asleep. The night having caught up with her.

So Enid just turned off the computer and snuggled even closer to her girlfriend. GIRLFRIEND OMG

It was nearing 5 AM when Enid woke up from the sound of footsteps. She looked over and saw Morticia walking towards them with a smile on her face. “Hello Enid. Do you mind if I steal my daughter from you?”

Enid nodded, taking Wednesday’s hands before shaking her awake. Wednesday immediately shot up and went to grab her knife but Enid’s hands stopped her. “Unhand me mutt”

“Good morning to you too. Your mom’s here” Enid said, letting go of Wednesday’s hands.

Wednesday’s head snapped to Morticia who had just said something but because of her just waking up and her impaired hearing she didn’t understand. So she turned to Enid who subtly signed ‘she’s asking for you to back to the cottage’

“Right.” Wednesday said, standing up. “Of course mother. Enid, I shall see you shortly yes?”

“Yeah. Promise” Enid said, wanting to kiss her goodbye but not wanting to with Wednesday’s mother around, she didn’t know if the girl was ready for it.

Wednesday unlocked the door and quickly locked it again, hanging the key back up. Looking longingly at Enid before following her mother out.

“I was wondering when that was going to happen” her mother said.

“What ever do you mean mother?” Wednesday asked.

“You and her. I saw you on the dance floor and had my suspicions.. but then that. Darling you were holding onto her tighter than you used to Marie Antoinette”
Morticia said.

Wednesday sighed, “you are correct for once mother”

“Is she the reason there is a supposed romance in your novel?” Morticia asked.

“Possibly.” Wednesday said.

Her mother smiled, “well, whenever you are ready for me to read it I am thrilled to see your love story.”

Wednesday almost smiled.

___

Enid watched as people began to leave. When suddenly Agnes appeared “ahh! Jesus Agnes you sacred me!” Enid said, chuckling.

“Sorry. Well guess who saw two birds kissing in a tree” Agnes said.

Enid, never one to pass up gossip, asked “who!?”

“You and Wednesday. It finally happened. I was wondering when you two would stop circling each other.” Agnes said.

“And I’m still wondering when you will mind your own business” Wednesday Said, appearing beside them. Her eyes softening when she looked at Enid.

“Wedns!” Enid said, jumping forwards and kissing her.

Wednesday returned the kiss, only pulling away when she heard Agnes fake gagging.

“You are insufferable you know” Wednesday said.

“But you keep me around” Agnes said.
Wednesday rolled her eyes. “Well I need to finish packing. I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone”

Agnes vanished.

“Why did you keep her around?” Enid asked.

“She reminds me of my cousin itt. Plus, she somehow made me feel protective over her” Wednesday said.

“Awww, you care about people!”

“Careful Sinclair”

__

They were hanging out in the dorm, mainly waiting until they heard more news when Enid asked “oh. I saw your novel on your desk earlier. Are you editing it?”

“No. I was just taking out the notes.” Wednesday said.

“Will you ever let me read it?” Enid asked.

Wednesday looked to Enid before saying, “here. Read this page”

Enid nods and does as told.
It reads:
“Viper ignores the way Evelyn’s touch sends shivers down her spine when her hands are nothing but warm. ‘I still can’t believe you viper. I told you not to go after him..’ viper felt a strange feeling course through her. She had been scolded many times but when it came from… her. It felt different. ‘He was going to kill someone ev’ Evelyn stopped stitching vipers arm to look into her eyes. ‘I know. Next time, come get me’ the offer is nice.. but the idea of Evelyn getting hurt sends panic through viper. She recognizes this feeling suddenly, it’s the feeling her father described when he talked of her mother. It was love. This was not good”

“I- I’m the love interest?” Enid asked.

“When I met you, you changed the entire story. Fictional and reality” Wednesday said, stepping closer.

“Thank you wedns. I love you”

“And I you”

Enid smiled and kissed her. Wednesday immediately deepened the kiss, allowing Enid to push her down onto her bed. She relished in this feeling, she had never experienced it before. But she loved it.

Said feeling grew as Enid’s lips moved to her jaw, then neck.

She couldn’t help the small gasp that escaped her as Enid’s teeth scraped against her pulse point. She felt Enid smile against her skin. She was proud.

Two can play that game. Wednesday pulled Enid back up and flipped them so she was above Enid, but she didn’t hover like Enid did. She straddled Enid’s waist and watched as Enid’s eyes widened before she leaned down and captured her lips again.

She doesn’t know what came over her but she doesn’t mind it either. Before she could test even more territory as her hand began to wander Enid’s alarm sounded.

“Crap” Enid said, pulling away.

“That is unfortunate” Wednesday said, rolling off of Enid.

“To be continued?” Enid asked. Wednesday nodded.

“I’ll be there first thing to let you out” Wednesday said.

“Promise?” Enid asked, holding her pinky up.

Wednesday titled her head fondly before she leaned forward and kissed the pink before she walked away.

Enid sat, listening to her meditation.

She wished Wednesday could be there but she understood that Wednesday was out saving her brother.

All the sudden Agnes came running in.

“Agnes? What are you doing here?” Enid asked.

“I couldn’t abandon Wednesday.. so I ditched my dad when he stopped for gas- that doesn’t matter! Issac and Tyler buried Wednesday under the skull tree and I can’t dig her out.”

“What! Bring me to her! Now!” Enid ground out between her teeth.

Once they reached the tree Enid felt her heart drop. On the way she already had a feeling she, but she ignored it. Just like she did now.

She and Agnes dug and dug and dug. But nothing worked.

Enid took in a deep breath, looking up at the full moon. It shone so bright and beautiful. If only that’s how she could see it, instead of the end of her humanity.

She stood up, looking at Agnes and said “I’m not strong enough like this!”

“Enid- you won’t be able to turn back.. please” Agnes said, her eyes welling up with tears.

“I’m sorry.. I can’t let her die. tell her I love her. Tell her I will always love her” Enid said her final words before transforming.

She dug and dug, then she softened her digging once she felt the dirt give way. Once she felt Wednesday she let Agnes pull the rest of the branches away. Not wanting to hurt Wednesday.

Wednesday opened her eyes, taking in a small gasp of air “I enjoyed that”

If Enid could laugh she would.

Wednesday’s head twisted to look and she saw Enid. In that moment her entire world crumbled as she stared at the girl she loved in front of her, once human now wolf.. who may never turn back again. “Enid?” She had never heard her own voice so soft, not even when Enid was in her own body.

The wolf whimpered and licked Wednesday’s cheek, a silent goodbye. Agnes had said something but it went unheard to Wednesday’s ears.

“No no Enid- please don’t leave me” Wednesday’s voice cracked.

Enid hesitated, she laid her head into the crook of Wednesday’s neck as she let out a long and low whine.

Wednesday let herself cry because she knew what was coming, even if she denied it.
She hugged the wolf’s frame and whispered “please don’t leave me. I love you”

The wolf pulled away, one final look. Memorizing the girl in front of her before she ran. Wednesday felt a sob escape her throat.

She stood up, but branches were in her way so she turned to Agnes “go track her. NOW!” Her voice broke more on each word.

Agnes who had been crying as well ran after the wolf.

Wednesday tore the branches away from her body and got up ready to chase after the two but her body couldn’t handle it, her grief pulling her down as she fell to her knees. Her breaths coming quick and heavy.

She grabbed at her chest, which hurt- she didn’t have any injuries there. It was an internal pain.

“Wednesday thank the spirits!” Her mother said, appearing behind her.

“Where’s pugsley!” Her father asked.

Wednesday didn’t look at them, she just tried to steady her breath as she looked into the woods where her heart had ran off.

Weems appeared beside her “we need to save pugsley Wednesday. Enid will be alright. You will find her.” She said, kneeling down. Wanting to place a comforting hand on Wednesday’s shoulder but unable to.

“Wednesday darling?” Morticia began, having heard Larissa’s words.

Wednesday stood up, taking a deep breath before saying “to Iago tower.”

“Wednesday-“

“NOW” she snapped.

Wednesday climbed the ladder, axe in hand. She saw pugsley, she needed to get to him.

But as she walked towards him she saw Tyler. He looked for a moment, like the barista boy she had met. It only made her rage grow.

“Kill me” he begged.

Wednesday was going to fulfill his wishes when Enid’s words crossed her mind “killing him won’t make you feel better.. it will make you as bad as him”

Plus.. she could really use a distraction and surely Tyler would provide one.

She slashed his binds. He looked at her, something like wonder in his eyes as he asked “why?”

“I’m not you” Wednesday said.

He gulped in understanding and immediately began to transform and Wednesday ran to pugsley.

She saw Tyler throw Isaac out of the corner of her eye. Perfect.

Once she removed the cap from pugsley she heard Tyler’s mother trying to soothe him. Good luck with that. He’s a monster and he loves being one.

Wednesday ripped pugsley’s gag and said “mother is coming”

As if on cue their mother arrived and sliced the rest of pugsley’s binds. Helping him as Wednesday led the way.

She saw Issac. The cause of all of this. The reason her right hand isn’t on her shoulder. The reason her heart is no longer with her…

“ISSAC!” She called. If she couldn’t get Enid back, she needs to get thing.

Just as he turns, his manic smile on display the entire room went bright. Then dark.

At least it’s a creative death..

Wednesday gasps awake, there is no sound in her left ear, and barely any in her right. But she ignored it as she turned and saw her mother- no.

She stood up, her balance faltering slightly but she kept moving. She helped her father and brother lift what was on top of her mother off. She looked down, her mother hadn’t woken up. Please.. she couldn’t lose anyone else- Morticia’s eyes shot open. She turned her head to look at Wednesday. She couldn’t hear what Morticia said but read her lips “I guess your premonition didn’t come true after all” Wednesday smiled, her dimples on full display as she helped her mother up-

Something wrapped itself around her neck- wait no… Isaac used his ability to pull Wednesday forward choking her.

She really needs to stop being choked…

Issac looked her dead in the eye saying something before she felt something push into her abdomen- she tried to gasp
From the pain but his invisible grip on her neck stopped her.

She fell to her knees as she tried to breathe, her vision began to fog when she felt wind beside her and she saw the axe appear. She grabbed it and threw it towards Issac. Not caring if it hit him.

Once his grip released Wednesday gasped for air, coughing when blood came up her throat.

Issac laughed, “YOU MISSED!” She read from his lips as he went to kill her.. but nothing happened.

Thing. He was coming back.

Wednesday watched as thing thought against Issac, finally gaining control. She held her wound as thing ripped Issac’s clockwork heart out. “Times up” Wednesday spat out.

For a moment she thought thing had left them, but he crawled his way to her. She smiled, wincing in pain.

Suddenly she felt hands on her and she jumped, regretting the movement immediately. Her family was talking to her but all she heard was mumbling. Suddenly her father picked her up, just like he used to and carried her to an ambulance where she finally lost consciousness.

FIN.

IM SORRY.
