Chapter 11: Curiosity

It has been a few days since the events that took place at the Harvard Festival, I was having another therapy session with Miss Kinbott and she managed to help me explain my problems. One such problem was my hidden anger as I have been getting better at containing it.

Kinbott: Blue, I can tell that you don't want to hurt people despite your nature, it shows that no matter what you are, you can show kindness and that's fine.

Blue: Yeah, you're right about that, I hate the idea that I need to be this ruthless creature. I would rather make friends with people because to me, arguments and fights are just pointless. I would be essentially holding a grudge which is something I never liked doing.

Kinbott: Well with the right management and tips, you should be well on your way to countering all the bad thoughts.

A knock was heard on the door and Kinbott tells me that my session is over, she then asks me if I can get the door and I tell her that I can. When I open it, I see that it was Wednesday at the door.

Blue: [Smiles] Oh hello there, how are you doing?

Wednesday: I'm feeling dreadful.

Blue: Good to know!

Kinbott: Wednesday, you can take a seat now, Blue have a wonderful day.

Blue: I will

Wednesday: Wait Blue, I want you to wait for me outside

Blue: Oh, okay I will

Wednesday's POV
_____________________

Blue goes outside the building and waits for me to finish my pointless talk......but maybe I can turn it into something useful. I sit down and Kinbott does the same.

Kinbott: Are you ready?

Wednesday:......

Kinbott: How was your day? Did you have any problems during the day?

Wednesday: I am in a horrible mood

Kinbott: So a good day in your terms, any problems?

Wednesday: I don't have any problems besides not knowing enough about the monster.

Kinbott: Monster?

Wednesday: Don't worry, it's nothing to be concerned about. Look, I don't have time for the session, however I want to know about Blue.

Blue is a honest person so he probably told Kinbott about himself, I want to know who exactly he is, he is a mystery himself. Since he will be working with me, it would be good for me to know more about him, sure I could ask him but I have the feeling that he is hiding something.

For example: Why does he take these sessions?

Kinbott: Why?

Wednesday: I didn't expect him to be the type of person to have therapy sessions.

Kinbott: Which is why you shouldn't judge a person by their outer appearance because they could be someone different on the inside.

Wednesday: Yes I know, I also know that he is a Demon but doesn't act like one

Kinbott: Because he doesn't want to

Wednesday: Why? Why go against your nature?

Kinbott: Wednesday, I can't just talk about another patient to you

Wednesday: I'm.....his friend. It isn't the truth but I need to know more.

Kinbott: O-Oh...you're friends, I wasn't aware, well you picked a good person to be your friend. That boy is a pure ball of sunshine, he is very loyal and kind.

Wednesday: Yes, he is exactly how you describe him, but I'm also concerned about him because I've been noticing that he has been hiding something.

I'm only agreeing with her to get the information I need, otherwise she wouldn't be convinced.

Kinbott: Well if you're worried, I'll tell you some things. Blue has mental problems, he is meant to be a Demon but he doesn't want to act like one. He wants to be known as a kind person who wishes no harm.

Wednesday: Yet he knows how to fight and has hurt people before

Kinbott: Yes I'm aware about the incidents where he has hurt someone but that was out of self defence or anger from insults thrown at his friends of family. He hates it because he broke a boy's jaw and now he can't speak.

Interesting, he has exceeded my expectations, all of this is useful because Blue sees me as a friend and would defend me.

Kinbott: Now is that all? Can we return back to you?

Wednesday: His anger problems....why does he have them? He is a kind person yet shows signs of aggression

Kinbott: Demons are naturally fueled by rage and violence but Blue only has aspects of it that he struggles to control. As we both know, he doesn't like it so he comes here to seek advice on moving on from that and the death of a loved one.

Wednesday: A loved one? Who died that was close to him?

Kinbott: No, that is all I will tell you, we need to do your session Wednesday.

I sigh and decided that I can last a few more minutes, but now I know more about Blue, I'll admit that he goes through a lot but he is a valuable asset in my investigation.

When I was finished, I exit the building and saw that Blue was waiting for me so I go up to him.

Blue: So how was it?

Wednesday: I never want to go again

Blue: Hah, I can imagine so

Before the two of us could leave, Tyler walked up to us.

Tyler: Guess you decided to stick around Jericho. Wait, you see Dr Kinbott too?

Wednesday: You should know that I legally have to be here

Tyler: Uhh me too, court ordered

Blue: I mean, I don't mind it.

Tyler: It can help sometimes

Wednesday: Look at us, a couple of teenage tearaways

Blue: I was going to say the three musketeers

Tyler: Seems cool. Hey, when you ran off that night at the Harvest Festival, I wasn't sure what happened and then I heard.....kinda crazy

Wednesday: Everybody, including your father believes I made it all up, I even had Blue who managed to hurt the monster

Blue: Yeah, I showed him!

Tyler: R-Right, you know I believe you, about the monster

Blue: Oh hey man, thanks for that

Tyler: We live in a world with outcasts so why wouldn't I?

I decided that I had enough of this, I had things to do so I left, I tell Blue to follow me so he says goodbye to Tyler first and then walks beside me.

Blue: So, mind telling me why you wanted me to wait?

Wednesday: Have you forgotten already? You and potentially Evelyn, are working with me to find out who or what that monster is.

Blue: Oh right, forgot, my bad, any ideas?

Wednesday: No, not yet

We go to Weems who was waiting in her car and she drives us back to Nevermore, there we met up with Evelyn.

Evelyn: You know, I didn't think anything would interest you Wednesday.

Wednesday: Please, this monster has been the only good thing that has happened to me so far

Evelyn: Yeah, anyways I'm going to help so we should go and search the forest since that is where we saw it

Blue: Yeah but we need to discover what it is first.

Wednesday: I agree with Blue, none of us have ever seen something like this before and we need to find out what it is.

Blue: We can look into the library

Wednesday: Not yet, I will do it after

Evelyn: Hey we should go and hang out with the others

Blue: Yeah, you coming?

Wednesday: I have other things to do

I walk away because I didn't have time for whatever they were going to do.

Evelyn's POV
_________________

Evelyn: Damn she is obsessed with the monster already, you reckon she likes it?~

Blue: Hmm? Why would she like a monster that kills people?

Ah, my lovely dense headed brother, I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

Evelyn: Nevermind, I take back that question, you're thick in the head.

Blue: Hey!

Evelyn: Shut it, now follow me to the archery area because that's where the others are

We head over and see that Enid, Adam, Xavier, Ajax, Bianca and Yoko were there as well as some of Bianca's friends. Most of them were happy to see the two of us and I couldn't help but smirk when I looked at Bianca.

She is already staring at his face!

You know, I still couldn't believe that her out of all people would like my brother, then again, he has humiliated her many times so she might be into that?

Ah whatever.

Enid: [Hugs Blue] Blue are you going to watch me during the boat race?

Blue: Of course I will

Ajax: Actually Blue, you might be joining me, Adam and Xavier since Rowan isn't available

Blue: Well yeah, because he is dead and I'm going to absolutely dawg on his killer. I'm fine with that if that is the case

Evelyn: So I don't know why Bianca and her friends are here, but I assume that we're having a competition to see who is better at Archery.

Xavier: We are and I don't want to brag but I'm probably the best when it comes to skill. I.....I can teach you if you want?

Yoko: I actually think Blue is the best

Evelyn: Oh yeah definitely, he plays Minecraft too much to know the secrets of archery so if I'm going to learn, it will be from him. But I might not even compete.

Xavier: O-Oh, okay

Bianca: What? No no, this can't be true, Xavier has interest in both Evelyn and Wednesday?! Can he not pick one? I mean none of them will take notice of his feelings so it's pointless either way.

Xavier takes out a bow and says to watch how he does it, he takes aim and hits the bullseye.

Xavier: See Evelyn? I told you that I'm really good at this

Evelyn: Yeah that's cool but let's see Blue first before you go and brag your heart out, you didn't win the Champions League of Archery just yet.

Xavier sighs and agrees to it, giving Blue the bow, he takes out one arrow and steps much further back and I couldn't help but sigh but then smile.

Enid: Umm, Blue? Are you sure you want to do that?

Blue: Yep, it's fine

Adam: Definitely fine

Yoko: 20 he will do it

Ajax: Oh, betting money now? Well I don't think he does it

Bianca: He better not miss or I will show him how it's done

Blue: Are you offering to help?

Bianca: I can....i-if you want to of course

Blue: [Smiles] Thank you for the offer but I won't need help.

Bianca blushes slightly and didn't say anything, I only smirk because I'm still not letting her date him, I don't trust her and I want what's best for him. Hell! I would rather let Annabelle-!

Actually I might be pushing it there....she is a menace

Enid: [Pouts] Bianca was never like this and it disturbs me, why does she have to like Blue?

Adam: [Pats her back] Don't worry Enid, you will get your chance

Enid: Thank you Adam.....[Blushes] W-W-Wait, i-it isn't what it lookes like!

Adam: Relax, I understand how you feel

Enid: Y-You do?

Xavier counts down from 3 and everyone notices that Blue still hasn't drawn. When Xavier says go, Blue immediately draws the arrow and lets it fly right into the bullseye, but it didn't stop there, it went right through the whole target, surprising everyone but Adam and yours truly.

Although that was still fucking amazing.

Yoko was shocked before remembering the deal and telling Ajax to pay up, he complains but gives her the money while Enid runs up to Blue and engulfing him in a hug.

Xavier: N-No way, I can't believe it!

Enid: Blue you did it! You were great!

Blue: [Smiles] Thanks Enid

Enid: So do you want to help me with my boat?

Blue: You know what? I don't mind

Enid: Great!

Enid starts to drag Blue with her.

Yoko: Hey Enid! Wait for me!

Evelyn: Hahaha, now this is amusing, oh hey, Xavier and Ajax, just to let you know, Blue isn't going to help us win, he is just going to talk with us

Ajax: That's good because we won't be able to trust Blue then!

Xavier: We need to work on our boat, Adam, are you coming.

Adam: Yeah let's go.

The four of us follow the other three while Bianca was left there with her friends.

Bianca: The race is coming up soon, Blue is going to be participating so if I win, which I know I will, I can show Blue how great I am.
_______________

Blue's POV
_______________

We were near the lake where the race will be happening, we still had a day or two so I was watching Enid, Yoko, Evelyn and another girl from Ophelia Hall make their boat.

Blue: Okay so how will this race go? And before you ask, yes I didn't pay attention.

Evelyn: I'm not surprised

Enid: Don't worry Blue, I'll explain, it will be a race between four boats representing each hall. We will race across the lake and towards the other side where we will need to depart and get the flag near Crackstone's Crypt.

Yoko: Then we run back and race back here at the beginning line.

Blue: Oh hey, that's cool!

Yoko: Are you going to join up with Xavier and Ajax?

Blue: Oh yeah I am, it sounds like fun, Adam will join as well so I've got to back my boys

I look over and saw that the three were working on our boat, they had colour on it and didn't have any special features which I heard that we could add.

Evelyn: We're going to wear cat suits, what about your group?

Blue: Wear? What do you mean wear? It's just a boat race right?

Enid: [Giggles] You have to wear a theme based outfit Blue, that's why we are wearing cat outfits.

Cat outfits........I look at my sister and she glares at me, having an idea on what I had planned.

Evelyn: Blue, I swear to God if you throw cat treats at me then I will drop kick you!

Blue: Hah, don't worry Eve, I won't, but back to what we were talking about, I actually don't know what me and the others are wearing. I hope Xavier picked something good or I'm going to kick his knees in.

Yoko: [Snickers] I know what it is but I won't tell Blue, it would be funny for him to find out and I'm sure he will try and kick Xavier for his choice.

Enid: Ladies come on! Let's work on those teeth, more scowl! This kitty is taking no prisoners, if Bianca Barclay wins again this year, I will literally claw my own eyes out!

Blue: U-Umm Enid? Please do not do that

Enid: [Squeals in her head] Oh Blue is so adorable when he is caring!

Wednesday: I would pay money to see that

Blue: Really?

Wednesday: Yes

Evelyn: [Smiles] Well it's nice for you to join us

Enid: Yep, I'm glad you decided to stay

Wednesday: I thought you wanted your room to be just with yourself and Evelyn?

Enid: Well I do enjoy the vibes the three of us have and Thing gives a killer neck massage

Blue: I agree, he has good skills

Wednesday: Hmm? When did Thing give you one?

Blue: Well it was when he decided to hang out with me and Adam.

Wednesday: Note to self, punish Thing for even hanging out with Blue.

Enid: So why the change of heart?

Wednesday: I refuse the play the role of a pawn in someone else's corrupt game

Enid: You mean Rowan?

Oh right, Enid probably thinks Rowan dying was not the truth, should we tell her that it is? I mean she seems to trust my words more.

Wednesday: I witnessed his murder Enid, even Blue and Evelyn saw it.

Enid: What? You did?

Evelyn: Yep

Blue: We did but honestly it's fine if you don't believe it because we don't have evidence.

Enid: If Blue is saying it then it might be true....I feel bad not believing them

Wednesday: Enid, you're Nevermore's gossip queen

Blue: That's an understatement

Enid: [Pouts] Hey!

Blue: You leaked I was a Demon, you knew that I wasn't going to let you off

Wednesday: So she leaked he was a Demon on her blog huh? I'm not surprised at all. What's Rowan's story?

Enid: Well Xavier Thorpe is his roommate, if you had a cellphone, you could text him and ask him. Yoko! Come on! Flare those whiskers! The Poe Cup Drops for no one!

Yoko: Wow she is really getting into this, more than every other year

Wednesday: What is the Poe cup anyways?

Enid: My entire reason for living right now, Part Canoe race, part foot chase, no rules. Each dorm has to pick an Edgar Allan Poe shirt story for inspiration.

Blue: God I hope that Xavier picked a good story.

Enid: You could grab a brush. Ms Thornhill has just ordered Pizza. Want to take a stab at being social?

Wednesday: I do like stabbing. The social part, not so much. Besides, it will cut into my writing time

Enid: No worries. Just as long as you're both lakeside cheering us to victory on race day.......or you can just glare uncomfortably. Whatever works for you

Blue: Alright I'm going to go help my team now

Wednesday: Wait, I need you for something.

Blue: Ask my sister

Evelyn: Yeah don't forget me, I don't mind helping you

Wednesday: Alright, follow me

I head over to my group and saw that they had sorted out the boat.

Blue: So Xavier, have you decided on a story yet?

Xavier: We have.

Blue: Aight so what it is?

Ajax: [Grins] Hehe

Adam: Alright but you won't like it

Blue: Hmm? What do you mean by that?

Xavier goes to take something from Ajax, he tells me that it's his outfit for the race and my eyes widened.

It was a jester outfit.

What the-?!

Cabron what is this?!
