Summary:
Enid is forced to play the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, which results in an unfortunate outcome. As we all know, Wednesday is very protective of her hematophobic girlfriend
TW⚠️ very slight description of gore (from a video game)
"Are you guys sure I will be able to handle it?" Enid's voice trembled as she nervously asked, biting her lip as she spoke into the mic.
The Razer Kraken Kitty headset she was wearing was brand new, a birthday gift she had received over the summer. The headset, which was pink and adorned with cute cat ears, seemed like it was made for her. (Wednesday hated them.)
Enid's life had seen a few changes since the previous semester. 1: she now had a girlfriend and 2: she started streaming on Twitch under the name shewolfsinclair.
Although she had accumulated a large number of viewers and subscribers in a short period of time, Yoko implied that her physical attractiveness may have been the primary factor in her success rather than her family-friendly gaming streams. Enid was flattered by that.
She did have a few fans that seemed a bit... odd. Ever since she began streaming, men had been spamming her DMs requesting pictures of her feet. Ew. It also didn't help that while streaming Minecraft, she was subjected to vulgar comments during her last session, which only added to her frustration. She had finally made the decision to take an entire week off from streaming.
She took advantage of her free time by playing with Ajax, Eugene, and Yoko. They insisted that she buy the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, and Enid's protests were silenced only when Yoko offered her some of her scrumptious homemade carrot cake.
She decided to break away from her usual routine of playing Minecraft, Gang Beasts, Uno, or Sims and try something new to conquer her fears. She gave in to Yoko's bribe and indulged in a delicious slice of carrot cake that was waiting for her on her desk next to her pink gaming laptop.
"It's a video game, Enid! You'll be fine," Yoko's voice crackled through the mic with a hint of static.
"Yeah, it won't be that bad! Trust me," Ajax said, his voice betraying him with a sudden pitch change. He was an honest person through and through, and lying definitely didn't come naturally to him.
"Dude, the last time you said that, I literally fainted five minutes into Scream!"
Ajax's sigh was loud and clear through the mic, and Enid could almost see him rolling his eyes.
"Let's try it out, and if you don't like it, no problemo, okay?" Eugene spoke softly. Enid never felt pressured by him to play such games because he was always kind and gentle. It was Yoko and Ajax who asked her, begging her to join their game and explaining that they needed a fourth player. And of course, Enid, being Enid, felt bad for saying no.
Taking a deep breath, she reached for her purple PlayStation 5 controller and started her game.
medusasman420 has invited you to play The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Enid reluctantly accepted Ajax's game invite, fighting back a small whimper.
As she waited for it to load, she read the introductory screen that gave the backstory of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game. The game took liberties with its events, but Eugene noted that the psycho slaughter family remained a key aspect.
"Did they ever find Maria?" Enid whispered as she read the yellow font that scrolled across the screen.
"Uh, no. I'm pretty sure she's like, dead, dead." Yoko's reply was met with another whimper from Enid, who was finally loaded into the main menu. It loaded once more until she was in a lobby with the three stooges.
"Since you're a newbie, I suggest playing as Ana or Connie. It'll be easier," Eugene said.
"Hey! Ana's my main." Yoko's voice was whiny, reminiscent of a toddler on the verge of a tantrum, causing Enid to roll her eyes.
"Fine... then pick Connie."
"She's got a really cool ability—she can pick locks in a jiffy," Ajax said enthusiastically.
Enid took a deep breath and nodded to herself as Yoko began searching for a match.
After being fully loaded in, she was able to see their names and chosen characters listed on the screen.
yolks69 chose Ana
medusasman420 chose Leland
thebeekeep3r chose Sonny
shewolfsinclair chose Connie
"Guys, I'm scared," Enid whispered through the mic, her words barely audible.
"Enid?" She heard Wednesday's voice from behind her, muffled and distant. She took her headset off to greet her wonderful girlfriend.
"Hi." Enid grinned widely as Wednesday leaned down to greet her with a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Why are you scared, mia lupa?"
"Yoko and Ajax asked me to play this horror game and you know how I am with gore... I mean, you would probably like it, though."
"I see. And why did you say yes?"
"I don't know. I felt bad!" Enid waved her hand around while speaking, adding emphasis to her words.
"Querida, you're much too benevolent for your own good," Wednesday replied as she settled into her own chair, her fingers poised over the typewriter's keyboard, ready to begin her writing hour.
"Yeah, yeah. I know."
As soon as the game started, Enid's focus shifted entirely as she put her headset back on.
"Alright, E, just spam square to get out of your restraints and then follow me," Yoko said.
She obeyed Yoko's instructions and followed her every move, but it was all for nothing as Leatherface spotted them almost right away.
Enid's scream was so loud that it startled Thing, causing him to fall from his position on her desk as she rapidly pressed X to make her escape. She could hear the unmistakable sound of Ajax trying to hold back his laughter.
"I thought you knew what you were doing!" Enid hissed.
"How would I know he would be there?!" Yoko argued back.
"Relax, I got this, ladies." Ajax's character charged forward and rammed into Leatherface, causing him to remain stunned for a few seconds.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Enid's heart raced as she frantically darted in different directions until she stumbled upon a freezer. The freezer provided a temporary refuge for her character as she hid from the killer, listening to the sound of Connie's breathing in the eerie silence.
"Enid, where the fuck did you go?!" Yoko asked.
"I don't know, alright?! You're the one who made me play this stupid fricking game! I don't know what I'm doing!"
Trapped in the freezer, she believed the coast was clear until Bubba flung open the door and dragged her out.
Wednesday's fingers froze on her typewriter's keyboard as Enid let out another piercing scream.
"Enid!" she called out but was ignored.
"I'm so dead, I'm so dead," the wolf repeated to herself as she tried to run away but she was far too late. The revving of Leatherface's chainsaw echoed in her headset, and she could feel the vibrations of her controller as he tore her character apart.
The moment the chainsaw made contact with Connie, Enid's body went limp, and she collapsed out of her chair, causing a loud thump as it tipped over.
Wednesday ran over, caressing Enid's cheek with an annoyed sigh. "Thing, fetch the smelling salts. Again."
Wednesday's blood was boiling. Enid's aversion to blood, guts, and gore was well known, but they still forced her to play the stupid game!
Without hesitation, she snatched Enid's headset and placed it over her ears. Wednesday Addams in a pink headset with cat ears would be enough to make anyone faint.
"Who among you is willing to be the first to perish?" she spoke into the mic with a deadly hiss, causing Yoko to wince at the sudden loudness.
"Well, I'm already dead, soooo..." Ajax replied. His character had died right after Enid's.
"I don't think that's what she meant, idiot," Yoko said. "And Addams, take the mic out of your damn mouth!" she added.
"Uh... H-Hi, Wednesday!" With a shaky voice, Eugene greeted his good friend, already anticipating her wrath.
"Enid passed out due to your complete incompetence! What was the rationale behind having her play this nonsensical game?"
Ajax's nervousness was palpable as Wednesday could hear him audibly gulp into the mic.
"Uh, we thought that... it would be funny?"
"What?" Wednesday's tone was lethal. She was beyond pissed, now.
"Ajax! What the fuck?! No, that's not why. We needed a fourth person to play with and she was willing to step out of her comfort zone for us!" Yoko stepped in, preventing Wednesday from unleashing any more of her anger on Ajax.
"I told her to try it and if she didn't like it she didn't have to play. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible," Eugene said softly, his tone full of remorse.
Wednesday let out a loud sigh, feeling the onset of a migraine as she rubbed her temple.
"Hey, um, Wednesday? We still need a fourth person... if you're willing?" said Eugene, sounding hopeful.
"What reason do you have to believe that I would be willing to help you after this?"
"Please!" Eugene pleaded.
Wednesday growled, her eyes flashing with anger as she tossed the headset back onto the desk with a forceful thud while ignoring Eugene's pleas.
Upon returning to the room, Thing scurried to Enid and placed the smelling salts under her nose.
Enid's nostrils burned as the smelling salts took effect, jolting her awake in less than 15 seconds. Her blue eyes fluttered open as she groaned loudly.
"Enid, are you alright?"
Wednesday knelt down, cradling Enid's face in her hands, and searching for any signs of injury.
"W-what happened?" Speaking softly, she blinked her eyes repeatedly, trying to adjust to the bright lights of their dorm room.
"You lost consciousness due to this... asinine game."
Enid's eyes went wide as the recollection of the incident flooded her mind.
"Oh my god! Do they still need a fourth person?"
She quickly got up, feeling Wednesday's hands on her hips, steadying her as she stumbled.
"Enid, please do not tell me you are considering playing with those imbeciles again?"
Enid frowned as she realized that her gaming laptop was completely shut off, thanks to Thing.
"But Yoko gave me carrot cake... it was part of the deal!"
"You are not playing with them. It is imperative that you take rest while I take care of you. Do you understand?"
Enid's face flushed at Wednesday's demanding tone. It was kind of... hot?
She nodded her head, still feeling slightly disoriented, before Wednesday led her to her bed and laid down beside her.
Enid breathed in deeply as she ran her nose along Wednesday's jawline, taking in the comforting scent of sandalwood and ink. With a contented sigh, she smiled and placed a loving kiss on her girlfriend's jaw.
"I love you, Wends." Her eyelids drooped heavily as she spoke, and soon she was lost in slumber once more.
"I love you, too, mi amor." Wednesday's lips brushed gently against the girl's skin as she whispered and left a tender kiss on her cheek, her mind racing with thoughts of revenge.
Despite the passing of days, Wednesday's silent seething persisted, and she continued to cast disdainful glares towards Yoko and Ajax whenever she saw them. While she was angry with Eugene, her fury towards Yoko and Ajax was much more intense.
Enid pleaded with Wednesday to forgive them for the ridiculous gaming incident, and Wednesday reluctantly relented. Or that's what her girlfriend had thought, anyway. While she pretended not to be angry, she couldn't help but smile as she thought about the sweet revenge she would soon have on them. What Enid didn't know wouldn't kill her...
Enid waited a few weeks before finally working up the courage to watch Yoko play The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was easier for her to handle the game when someone else played, allowing her to close her eyes if it became too intense. She could definitely breathe easier, knowing that there was no pressure on her since it was all on Yoko.
Playing with Ajax and Eugene was not enough for a full squad, so the vampire added Divina's twin brother, Kent, to the mix. His main was Julie.
The dorm room smelled of sugary treats as Enid sat on Yoko's bed, enjoying her stash of Skittles and Raisinets. She meticulously organized the Skittles by color, creating a rainbow of candy. She had a peculiar way of eating Skittles—starting with her least favorite and working her way up to the best. The order was always the same: orange, red, green, yellow, and then purple, which was considered the superior flavor to her, despite Yoko's favorite being the red ones.
Yoko's PlayStation 5 whirred to life, and Enid grinned as she savored the taste of an orange Skittle. She felt as if she was getting ready to watch a movie.
"Girl, you sure you wanna watch?" Yoko turned her head back and looked at the wolf, who was sitting on her bed surrounded by a pile of candy. She swore she could see a box of milk duds behind her, too. Since when did those appear?
"No worries, I'm good. You die, I close my eyes, easy peasy."
Yoko's eyes narrowed as she pointed her black controller towards Enid, wiggling it slightly. "Alright. Well, if Wednesday asks why you fainted for a second time, you better tell her this was your doing."
Enid's smile widened as she eagerly nodded and pulled a bag of Rolo's seemingly out of thin air.
With a sigh, Yoko put on her red and black headset and smiled softly as she heard the familiar voices of her friends as they joined.
They entered the lobby to find that the other three players, who were playing as the killers, had already loaded in so they did not have to wait long for the match to start.
The killer, Sissy, was chosen by a person with the name vociferousraven, and Yoko couldn't help but think the username was pretty damn cool and unique.
Just before the game started, Ajax let out a nervous squeak.
"What? What is it?" Yoko asked, surprised by the fear in Ajax's voice, considering the match had not yet started.
"Look at the ch-chat!" he replied with a slight tremble in his voice.
vociferousraven: I'm coming for you first, Ajax.
Yoko tried to stifle her laughter, but it still came out loud and clear through the mic.
"How the fuck do they know my name?!" the gorgon cried out.
vociferousraven: I advise you not to laugh, Yoko, as you will be the next one to meet your inevitable demise.
"Ayo?!" Kent exclaimed.
"They know my name, too!" Yoko's high-pitched shriek echoed through the room, causing Enid to cover her mouth and giggle.
She read the chat over the vampire's shoulder, struggling to contain her laughter. She had a sneaking suspicion as to who this vociferousraven person was. She was already swooning.
Soon the countdown ended and the game began to load. Yoko's fingers trembled against her controller as she watched the yellow loading bar inch forward. She was completely bewildered, racking her brain for any clues as to how this person knew their names.
The match was underway, and Yoko wasted no time in freeing Ana from her restraints, but their success was short-lived when the notification interrupted them. Their noise had already awakened Grandpa.
Leveling up Grandpa was a must for the Family since his sonar detection was what they relied on to track down their victims. They usually had a bit more time to grab supplies in the game before he woke up, but Leland's loud noises while opening up multiple crawl spaces—thanks to Ajax—woke the old man up way sooner than they wanted.
"How the heck did you guys manage to wake him up already?! I'm not even fully out of the room yet!" Eugene said in annoyance.
"I'm sorry! I...I'm scared!" Ajax replied.
Yoko could see that Ajax's character was being the loudest out of all of them. Leland had little to no stealth.
"You're going to just lead them right to us!"
"Dude... not cool," Kent sighed.
Yoko watched as Ajax's character, Leland, deftly picked the lock on one of the basement doors. Their hearts raced as Sissy abruptly flung open the basement door, interrupting their attempt to pick the lock. Eugene and Kent were caught off guard by their sudden screams through the mic, causing them to wince.
Without a second thought, Sissy began to chase after Ajax's character, clearly eager to fulfill their promise.
The gang watched as Ajax was chased in circles. Instead of taking advantage of the openings and crawl spaces, he panicked and frantically ran in all directions.
Sissy eventually had maneuvered herself in front of him during the chase, and with a swift movement, she slammed the door shut on him, causing Leland to stumble and fall over.
The mic picked up every sound of Eugene's uncontrollable laughter as he burst out in a fit of wheezes. When a character fell in the game, it was always funny to witness.
Yoko couldn't believe what she was seeing as Ajax was mercilessly killed a mere minute into the game.
"I thought you said Ajax was good at this game?" Yoko could hear Enid's muffled voice ask.
Ignoring Enid, Yoko dashed towards the basement exit, quickly unlocking it and running to retrieve a fuse for the fuse box.
With Eugene and Kent distracting the other killers, Leatherface and Hitchhiker, Yoko managed to turn on the fuse, which opened the basement escape exit and gave them a way out.
Yoko was left behind as Eugene and Kent quickly escaped with their characters, leaving Ana the last one left to be hunted. She could almost taste her freedom as she ran towards the basement exit, with Sissy in hot pursuit. It was clear that vociferousraven had a personal vendetta against Yoko, with no interest in pursuing the other two, letting them escape freely.
A thick cloud of Sissy's poison suddenly engulfed her character, making her stumble and wobble her way over towards the sewage exit. She was too slow and the door shut automatically right as she reached the exit, leaving her vulnerable to Sissy's attack.
"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!" Yoko shouted as Ana was almost immediately executed by Sissy.
With a razor in hand, she sliced into her left wrist, then her right, before slitting her throat. Yoko could hear the sound of the blood dripping onto the floor as the killer made a final, long cut down Ana's neck.
The evil laughter from Sissy taunted her through the headset as her character's body went limp.
Enid giggled as a notification flashed across her TV screen.
vociferousraven has sent you a message
Opening the message with a scowl on her face, Yoko glared at the text on the screen.
vociferousraven: I always keep my word.
Meanwhile, in Ophelia Hall, Thing was shaking uncontrollably with laughter, the disembodied hand flopping on Wednesday's desk.
Thing gave her a thumbs up which made Wednesday's smirk widen with satisfaction. He was proud that she had found a way to get back at them without resorting to physical harm. Enid would be proud, too.
Oh, what a sweet, sweet revenge, indeed.
Question of the day: What's the juiciest sweetest revenge you've ever gotten on someone?
