"Hey, Wednesday.." Y/n groaned still pretty angry at her.
"Party is at our dorm tonight. Sorry.." Y/n managed to slip out.
Wednesday nodded.
Y/n went to go alert some other people about the party.
...
Later that night Y/n, Wednesday, Enid, Ajax, Xavier, Yoko, Eugene, Divina, and Kent we're all in Y/n, Wednesday, and Enid's dorm.
The dorm was decorated beautifully. That annoyed Wednesday. She hated beautiful. But she accepted it.
The dorm had white string lights. With LEDs around the walls. That was Y/n's doing. Enid added some extra touches like drinks, and a dance floor. Y/n got the food. She definitely had the best taste.
Sai was just minding his business, sitting on
Y/n's bed, observing everyone carefully.
Enid turned on some music. "Let's get this party started!"
Y/n and Wednesday rolled their eyes.
Xavier walked over to Y/n "Do you want to dance? You know? Since you are my date to the Rave'N."
Y/n looked over at Wednesday, looking like she was asking for permission. But she just turned back to Xavier and nodded sadly.
"Let me speak with Wednesday first."
Xavier nodded happily and went over to the dance floor.
"So, you wanted to talk?"
"No. I just wanted to stall time."
"You could dance with me instead." Wednesday suggested.
"If you wanted to dance, you could have just asked me to the Rave'N." Y/n said a bit aggressive as she walked away over to Sai.
...
(Y/n's pov)
"Hey bud." I whispered.
Sai meowed and laid on my lap.
I chuckled a little and started to rub his back.
Xavier walked over. "Are you ready to dance yet?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry I was playing with Sai." I nervously replied, before setting Sai down onto my bed.
I walked over with Xavier to 'the dance floor' and started dancing.
After about 40ish seconds, I looked over at Wednesday for a second and noticed her glaring at me. She looked angrier then ever.
"Hold on." I whispered to Xavier. Then walking over to Wednesday. She noticed me walking over and fixed her expression and posture.
...
(Nobody's pov)
"What's wrong? You keep giving me dirty looks."
"Am not."
"You are. Just admit it. You are jealous."
Wednesday rolled her eye and walked away to be with Sai.
"Treat him nice!" Y/n yelled before running over to Enid.
"Wednesday is jealous!!" She exclaimed to Enid.
"Haha! I knew it! She likes you! And you like her to!" Enid yells a bit to loud.
Everyone looks over, including Wednesday and Sai.
Y/n puts her hand over Enid's mouth. "Shh! She might hear you!" She whisper yells.
Enid shakes her head with a smile and runs back to 'the dance floor.'
Y/n glances at Wednesday and she glanced back.
Y/n looks down but runs back to Xavier.
"Sorry! Are you ready to continue?!" Y/n yells over the loud music.
Xavier nodded and put his hands on her hips.
Y/n was really uncomfortable. She didn't like this. She didn't even like Xavier.
Wednesday saw this because she hasn't looked away from Y/n once. Her face grew with rage. Wednesday walked over to the music control and turned it off.
Y/n was grateful that Wednesday came to her rescue. She wiped the sweat off her forehead as Wednesday spoke up.
"We should play a game."
"Spin the bottle!" Ajax yells.
"Let me guess, you got that from the nightshades?" Wednesday asked.
Ajax looked down embarrassed, making Wednesday smirk.
"I think that's a great idea." Kent said.
Divina agreed. "They're right you know."
Enid and Xavier nodded in agreement.
Y/n and Wednesday looked at each other, then looked back at the group. "Fine, but play by yourselves." They both said in sync, making them look at each other again.
Y/n walked over to Wednesday as the group started to play.
"Should we Join?" Wednesday asked smirking.
Y/n looked at her and smiled slightly. She grabbed Wednesday's hand, dragging them to the group.
"I thought you weren't playing." Xavier announced to catch everyone's attention. The group looked over at them and smiled.
Enid spun the bottle excited. First it landed on Yoko and Divina. So they did what the bottle said.
Xavier spun it this time, hoping it would land on him and Y/n. But instead it did land on Y/n but it also landed on Enid.
"She's my sister!"
"This isn't a make out session. It's just a peck. Plus you're family. It's makes it more normal." Ajax replied.
Enid and Y/n stared at each other before leaning in. Both their lips touched as Y/n pulled away instantly. Y/n clung onto Wednesday as a way of saying help me.
Y/n realized what she was doing and quickly stopped.
Y/n spun it.
It landed on Xavier and Ajax.
"Oh hell no. That's my best friend." Xavier disagreed with the bottle.
"Yeah? I kissed my sister. Deal with it." Y/n argued.
"We are not doing that." Ajax and Xavier said in sync.
"Screw you guys." Y/n said as she spun the bottle.
The bottle landed on Wednesday and...Y/n!!
Wednesday and Y/n looked at each other
"Yes! I need to see this!" Enid squealed.
Kent and Divina laughed at Wednesday and Y/n, seeing that they both looked confused like a lost puppies.
Y/n and Wednesday stood up. They both walked over to each other.
They stared at each other before they both leaned in. But they didn't kiss. They whispered something into each others ears.
After their whispers, they pulled away.
"Hey! You didn't kiss!" Enid yelled.
"I don't care." Wednesday's bellowed.
...
The party ended after some more games, drinks, and food.
It was the next day.
Wednesday pinned up all the pictures she had
taken from the morgue onto the board, which
she had moved into the beekeepers shed.
"Enid wouldn't let me keep this near her, and I
was worried someone might walk in and see it."
Wednesday explained.
"No worries. Mi colmena es su colmena. I
assume this the creature that's been rampaging
in the woods?" Eugene asked, gesturing to the
drawing of the monster with the circle around it.
"You've heard about it before?" Wednesday
asked surprised.
"Rumors. Mr. Fitts banned me from bug-
hunting until further notice. Claimed a bear was
on the loose, which I knew was a lie. Didn't
match their hibernation schedules."
Wednesday glanced at him, slightly impressed.
Then she looked towards open windows at the
path that leads to the shed.
"Is...Y/n coming?" She asked.
Eugene shook his head. "No, she said she wasn't
feeling well. I think she might be nervous about the upcoming dance. Since I heard she's not going with anyone yet."
Wednesday's hands balled into fists and her jaw
tightened. "I might have heard about that." She
grumbled, the feelings of jealousy and guilt
flowing through her body.
"Speaking of which, could you give this to
Enid? And this one to Y/n." Eugene grabbed a jar of honey. "Put in a good word for me? I hear they still sans date for the Rave'N. They are both sisters. It's perfect! They look similar! Like I said earlier, I have a thing for werewolf chicks."
"Eugene." Wednesday said sharply.
"I know the chance of either of them asking me are next to zero, but I don't care. I'll keep putting myself out there until one of them finally...sees me."
"And if none of them never do?"
"They will." Eugene smirked confidently. "I'm
playing the long game. My moms say people
will appreciate me when I'm older. I know
they're probably trying to make me feel better,
but-
"Listen." Wednesday cut him off. "People like
you, me, and Y/n, were different. We're
original thinkers, intrepid outliers in this vast
cesspool of adolescence. We don't need these inane rights of passage to validate who we are."
"So you're not going to the Rave' either?"
"...No...we don't need to attend events
so....idiotic." Wednesday forced out.
"But Y/n wants to go." Eugene pointed out.
"It's not like she wants to!" She snapped. "It's
for ulterior motives."
She turned back to the board. "Sketches are the
closest thing we have to a lead to try and stop
this thing.
Eugene leaned closer to the sketch.
"That circle...I think I know where that is." He
realized.
"Show me." Wednesday demanded.
...
Wednesday held up the drawing to her face and
brought it down to compare it was the circular
entrance to a very creepy looking cave.
"It's definitely a match. What were you doing
out here anyway?" Wednesday asked.
"Collecting specimens." Eugene told her. "This
place is ground zero for horny gypsy moths. You think it's in there.
"Only one way to find out."
Wednesday approached the entrance, with
Eugene following behind her.
"I'm not a huge fan on enclosed spaces. I'm
claustrophobic." Eugene admitted.
"If you hear me screaming bloody murder,
there's a good chance I'm just enjoying myself."
Wednesday entered the cave, and after a few
seconds, Eugene decided to follow. They crawled their way to the end, where it expanded into a bigger area that was littered with animal bones.
They tuned and saw Y/n.
"What are you doing here?" Wednesday asked confused.
"Nothing. I will be leaving." Y/n said walking passed Wednesday as she put something in her pocket. Wednesday grabbed her arm trying to silently ask her to stay and forgive her. But Y/n pulled out of her grip and stormed out.
"Welp, this is definitely its lair." Wednesday
concluded.
"Are those...human?" Eugene asked nervously.
Wednesday bent down and picked up a deer
skull. "No, I think it's got a taste for venison."
Eugene shined his flashlight along the floor,
and up along the wall, and spotted a pair of
chains connected to the wall.
"Hey, check this out."
Wednesday came up next up him and noticed
the chains, along with several scratch marks. She
looked around some more and saw something
craved into the wall.
Wednesday bent down looking for concrete proof but couldn't find anything. But maybe the claws marks in the wall still had DNA.
...
Wednesday's next stop was to Xavier's private
art studio to gather some of his DNA. She opened the door and turned to Thing.
"Alright. I won't be long. I just need to find
something to match against the claw's DNA."
Thing scurried off, and Wednesday pulled out a
plastic bag. She turned the studio lights on, and
saw a bucket on the floor. She used a chop stick or some sort of stick to poke around inside it, and pulled out a bloody cloth.
She put the cloth in the plastic bag, and stuck it
in her backpack, just as the door to the studio
opened and Xavier walked in.
Wednesday straightened up, and tried to look
inconspicuous, as Xavier turned and saw her.
Obviously, he was shocked to see her there.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked firmly.
Wednesday ignored the question. "How do you
know what the monster looks like? Or are these
all just self-portraits?"
Xavier scoffed. "Oh, what you think it's me? I
saved your life.
"So did the monster. Or was that you the night
Rowan was killed?" She interrogated.
"You are so out of line right now." Xavier
scolded
"I'm just trying to uncover the truth. And your
art seems to have a reoccurring motif."
"Yeah. This creature's been haunting my dreams for the past couple weeks. I try to block it out, but I can't. So I just..come here and paint it."
Xavier gestured to an unfinished painting.
"When I was painting this one, the claws
reached out of the canvas and took a swipe at
me. That's how I got these scratches."
"I thought you were able to control your
ability." Wednesday said.
"Not when it comes to this thing." He admitted.
"Maybe it's just your guilty conscience."
"Hey, I told you I'm not the monster, okay?" He
snapped.
Wednesday pulled out the drawing of the
monster she took with the circles around it.
"So you just happened to draw pictures of it, down to the location of its lair in the woods? Those are some pretty vivid dreams." She accused.
Xavier finally realized. "You we're in here. Before, when I caught you and Y/n outside. That's the only reason Y/n asked me to the Rave'N? To try and cover." He scoffed.
"It wasn't Y/n's fault. I made her do it."
Wednesday retorted.
"You are unbelievable." Xavier snapped.
"It's nothing personal."
"No, it never is with you, is it? I mean, do you
even care about anyone or anything at all,
Wednesday?"
Wednesday didn't respond.
Xavier pointed to the door. "Get out!" He yelled.
Wednesday quietly slung her bag back over her
shoulder and exited the shed. Xavier stared
at his unfinished painting and turned the light
off.
...
Sheriff Galpin sat at his desk, with the phone to
his ear. "Yeah, I know Inez is usually three
sheets to the wind, but she keeps calling the
mayor, and she's BS-ing that there's lights on at the old Gates place. So, do a drive-by, make
sure there's no squatters."
Wednesday entered the station and stood in
front of his desk, making him hang up the
phone. She slammed down a bag onto his
desk.
"That's a dried blood sample of a potential suspect. He used it to dab scratches on his neck. Run a DNA test, and see if they match. The other DNA is in a cave. Presumed to be the monsters." She demanded.
The sheriff just stared at her. "I'm sorry do I
work for you?"
"You asked for concrete evidence. That's it."
"Where'd you get this, and who's the suspect?"
Wednesday thought for a second. "Run the
DNA test and I'll explain everything." She
offered.
The sheriff pointed a finger at her. "I'm not
playing games Addams."
"Neither am I, sheriff."
The sheriff stared at her for a second, then pressed a button. "Bernice, bring me a DNA
authorization form, please.
Wednesday smiled slightly.
...
Wednesday entered the quad and saw Eugene
sadly sitting on the edge of the fountain, with
Y/n next to him, rubbing his back
sympathetically, also looking a bit sad.
"Why so glum?" Wednesday asked.
Eugene looked up at him. "Saw Enid and Y/n at lunch. Asked if they got my honey."
"Wait my sister?! And me?! I didn't even get the honey!" Y/n yelled surprised.
"Can't say I didn't warn you." Wednesday
looked over at Y/n. "What's wrong with you?"
Y/n sighed. "Xavier cancelled on me. He
found out why we were really at his art studio,
so now we're not going to the dance together
anymore. Sorry you won't get the information
you were hoping for." She said with a hint of
annoyance in her voice.
"I got the evidence I needed anyway. So it all
worked out."
"Oh! Speaking of evidence. Close your eyes!"
"Are you serious?" Wednesday asked sarcastically.
"Absolutely."
Wednesday closed her eyes and felt Y/n grab her hand and pull it up. Then Y/n opened her hand. Y/n pulled something from her pocket. Then placed it in Wednesday's hand.
Wednesday opened her eyes and saw it was a claw. "What is this? Your claw?" Wednesday guessed.
Y/n covered her mouth. "Not in front of him."
Y/n whispered into Wednesday's ear and pointed towards Eugene.
"It's the claw of the monster. When you saw me in there, I was looking for evidence."
"Thanks, I guess?" Wednesday said sarcastically.
Y/n glared up at her, and smiled sarcastically.
"Anyways, yeah, everything is great! Even though I lied to my friend's face and now he's mad at me. Who doesn't want that?"
Wednesday sighed. "I'll make it up to you."
"Really? Last time you said that, you took me to
a crumbling building where we almost got
attacked by a monster. How are you gonna top
that? Behead me?" She asked.
"Actually, I just figured that since neither of us
have a date to the dance now, we can stake out
the cave and identify the monster." She said.
"Please tell me you're joking. You actually want us to go where that thing lives?" Y/n tried to change her mind.
"Are you going?" Wednesday asked.
"I would but not with him. I don't want to transform in front of him." Y/n said trying to change Wednesday's mind again.
"I'm in!" Eugene announced.
"What?!" Y/n hissed. "Are you three different kinds of crazy?"
"No, I'm a Hummer. Come on Y/n, you're a
Hummer too. We have to do this for the great or
good." Eugene declared.
"Your help would be appreciated." Wednesday added.
Y/n glanced between Wednesday and Eugene and rolled her eyes. She stormed off.
"Wednesday we can discuss this later in the dorm!" Y/n yelled leaving Wednesday confused.
"We're going to identify this monster."
Wednesday glanced over at Xavier who was busy painting his crow mural. "Whoever it may be."
...
Xavier turned his head and watched
Wednesday, Y/n, and Eugene exit the quad.
He hopped down from his ladder, and came
face to face with Bianca.
"So, I hear you might be free tonight after all."
