Chapter 13: Investigation
3rd POV
_______________
Wednesday: I have to get back to the woods but Weems has been watching me like a vulture circling a carcass.
Evelyn: That's.....a strange analogy, then again, I hear Blue says weird things as well
Enid: Yeah and you want me to cover so that you can return to the scene of the crime that may or may not have happened?
Wednesday: I have beekeeping club this afternoon and I'm taking Blue with me, so I need you to act as a decoy
Enid: Sorry. Two Strikes, I'm busy and bees totally creep me out. Why don't you ask Thing? Wait you can't because he's mad at you
Wednesday: Why is he mad? He is the one that screwed up
Enid: All I know is that we spent an hour giving each other manis, and he really opened up. He feels like you don't respect him as a person
Evelyn: Yeah come on Wednesday, Thing is family and you got to treat him like family
Wednesday: Technically he's only a hand
Evelyn: With a mind of his own, and like I said, F A M I L Y
Enid: Apolgise to Thing and I may reconsider helping you
Wednesday storms off to find Thing while Evelyn goes to find Blue and Adam to tell them about what is going to happen.
Evelyn: Yeah and now she is going to apolgise to Thing
Adam: Is this character development I'm hearing?
Evelyn: Oh yeah it is
Blue: So Enid is going fill in for her?
Evelyn: Yeah and you're going with Wednesday, I want you to make sure you stay safe out there
Blue: Don't worry, I will, I'm bringing the sword with me after all
Adam: Just make sure you're not caught by Sheriff Galpin, I feel like he might be there and won't like the idea that you have the sword
Blue: Don't worry, I'm a good negotiator and persuader.
With Wednesday, she goes to find Thing in her dorm but on Enid's bed, he was reading a hand cream catalogue but Wednesday had no time for that.
Wednesday: I snapped at you, I'll check my tone in the future, now chop chop, before all our leads turn cold
Wednesday turned back but heard the sound of rustling pages, she turns back around to see that Thing was still reading and not moving an inch.
Wednesday: What is it you want? Hand Cream? Nail Buffer? Cuticle Scissors? Consider it done
(Lamp Oil? Rope? B O M B S? It's yours my friend)
Thing pats the bed and Wednesday sighs before sitting next to him.
Wednesday: I know I'm stubborn, single minded and obsessive. But those are all traits of great writers
Thing: And Serial Killers?
Wednesday: Yes, and Serial Killers. What's your point?
Thing: Do you need to get anything off your chest?
Wednesday: I have nothing to get off my chest, and I'm not submitting to your emotional blackmail........fine, when Rowan showed me this, it confirmed my greatest fear. That I'm going to be responsible for something terrible, I'm...also going to be the cause of Blue's death or at least be the catalyst for it....and I'm not sure why.
Thing: Do you want Blue to die?
Wednesday: N....No, of course not, he is needed
Thing: So is he a puppet? Or is there something else?
Wednesday: There is nothing else Thing, so don't start looking into it. Blue has saved my life so it would be counter play if I got him killed
Thing: Will you prevent his death instead?
Wednesday: I will, but I need to know how I will get him killed
Thing: Then let's find out
Wednesday: Right, oh and breathe a word of this to anyone and I will end you
Soon it was time for Wednesday to leave for the forest but first she had to go to the Beekeeping club where Blue, Adam, Enid, Evelyn and Eugene were waiting.
Blue: Hello my partner in crime, ready to go look for the One Piece?
Wednesday: If this One Piece was Cthulhu's brain then not yet, Enid, if Weems comes sniffing around, keep your distance, look grim, and don't say a word
Enid: Payback is going to be a bitch
Evelyn: Don't worry Enid, you got me, Adam and Eugene
Adam: We won't bore you to death
Wednesday: Eugene, blab about this to anyone and I will squeeze you like a honeycomb
Blue: That's not nice......
Wednesday: It's not meant to be
Eugene: Don't worry, Snitiches get stung, it's hive code.
Wednesday: Good, now follow me Blue
Blue: Yes boss!
Eugene: Now who is ready to look after the bees?
Adam: I'm always ready, I still need to do some check ups
Evelyn: And don't worry Enid, we can talk about Blue to help you get over your fear of bees
Enid: Okay....w-wait what?!
______________________
Blue and Wednesday had made it to the forest for their investigation, they were going to look for clues about the monster and find anything that led them to it. They also wanted to know about Rowan, both of them convinced that he was dead and that the stand-in wasn't actually him.
Blue: So what do you want to do when you find this thing?
Wednesday: I'm going to find out what it is first, after that, I might experiment on it
Blue: That's cool....when I find it, I'm going to make it suffer
Wednesday: Suffer? I never took you as the type to make one suffer
Blue: True but....that thing killed my friend, Rowan and me weren't the closest but he was a nice person to talk to....I have never lost anyone close to me before
Wednesday: Except for someone else right?
Blue:.....Yeah....how do you know?
Wednesday: I asked Dr Kinbott some questions but she didn't tell me who you had lost
Blue: I see......a bit curious aren't you?
Wednesday: I hardly know anything about you
Blue: And for good reason too, but it is the truth that I had lost someone before Rowan, but I'm not going to tell you
Wednesday: That is fine, you don't need to, it's entirely up to you if you want to tell me or not
Blue: Yeah......so why did you run after Rowan? What did you need from him?
Wednesday: His....life was in danger so I tried to prevent it. I don't want to tell him everything yet, Evelyn agreed to this as well.
Blue: Oh okay
The two were near some trees and Blue walked ahead in case the creature decided to jump them, however, someone had come from behind Wednesday and dragged her behind a tree.
It was Tyler and he had his hand on her mouth but then he later removed it. Blue was confused on why he did this but saw that Sheriff Galpin was here with Elvis the dog.
Tyler: Sorry, I didn't want Elvis to pick up on your scent
Wednesday: Thanks, how did you throw them off?
Tyler: Ummm
Wednesday: Coffee Grounds?
Tyler: Deer hunting hack, one of the perks of being a part time barista
Blue: Nice, I was going to take off your head if you were planning to kill Wednesday
Tyler: W-Wait really?
Blue: Nah I'm just messing with you
Wednesday: I assume your father didn't bring the bloodhound to pay fetch
Tyler: He doesn't tell me shit, you must think it's weird that I'm stalking him
Blue: A little yeah
Wednesday: No, I consistently stalk my parents
Blue: O-Oh ._.
Tyler: Hey wait, what really happened the other night in the Festival? Look, I swear I won't say anything to my dad
Wednesday: Dammit, looks like Blue will know some of the truth. I thought Rowan was in danger, turns out I was half wrong, he proceeded to use his telekinesis to try and choke me to death.
Blue:......W-What? Rowan tried to.....kill you?
Tyler: Holy shit, wh....why would he do that?
Wednesday: No idea, that's when this monster came out of the shadows and gutted him.
Tyler: Woah woah, so you both really saw it? And it didn't try to kill you?
Blue: Well it was walking towards Wednesday and I threw a tree at it
Tyler: Y-You did?
Wednesday: And then it tried to kill him but he displayed great strength to scare it away
Blue: Yeah, showed him
Tyler: M-Maybe it ran away as a strategic method?
Blue: Ehh, maybe, it just means that it wants more rounds, and I'll give it to him
Wednesday: I also noticed that it did save me from Rowan and that's the part I'm trying to figure out. I came here to find something that can prove he was murdered and that I haven't lost my mind.
Blue: Go crazy, accept the voices
Wednesday: I always accept the voices Blue
Wednesday's eyes trailed to the ground and saw a pair of glasses so she goes to pick it up, she was glad she did because it was revealed to be Rowan's.
Wednesday: These are Rowan's, I knew it was a cover up
Blue: So he really is dead......agh, why was I even hoping?
Suddenly, Wednesday begins to experience another vision and collapses to the ground, luckily, Blue had caught her before she collided with the ground, but now he was worried for Wednesday.
Blue: Wednesday!
Tyler: I-Is she okay?
Blue: I-I don't know, maybe it's a apart of being a psychic?
Blue held Wednesday and waited for her to wake up, Tyler wished that he was holding her but thinks about how he will get his chances later. Chances when Blue isn't there although it seems hard due to the fact that she prefers him to be by her side.
Soon enough, Wednesday woke up and saw that she was in Blue's arms so she glared at him while he was more relived that she was okay.
Wednesday: What are you doing?
Blue: Well, you fell after touching Rowan's glasses so I caught you, didn't want you to bang your head on the floor.
Wednesday: I......thank you
Blue: No problem ^_^
Blue sets Wednesday on her feet, she didn't look at him as she didn't expect to wake up in his arms, she didn't know what to think about it. It gave her this warm feeling inside of her, something that she is sure that she hasn't felt before.
But in her mindset, she knew it was best to ignore it, the feeling will pass and her other thoughts were more of a priority.
Blue: So what happened?
Wednesday: I had a vision
Blue: Oh, what did you see?
Wednesday: I'll talk about it later, we need to head back
Blue: Okay, see ya Tyler
Tyler: See you.....

Wednesday's POV
_____________________
Blue: So what are we looking for?
Wednesday: I kept seeing the same purple book, the cover was darker, more like a day old contusion. Keep looking
Evelyn: Say less
We were back at Nevermore and I got Evelyn to come and help me and her brother, I need to find this book as it is the next clue of my investigation.
Then, Miss Thornhill walks in on us, intrigued by what we were doing.
Thornhill: I don't usually find students in here looking for actual books, most sneak in to make out. I accidentally walked in on two vampires fanging.
Evelyn: Oh that is just nasty
Blue: What's fanging?
Evelyn: N-Nothing!
Wednesday: It's when-
Evelyn: Wednesday no!
Thornhill: Haha, now is there anything I can help you three with?
I show Miss Thornhill the symbol that I had drawn, maybe she can help locate this book.
Wednesday: Have you seen this before? It's a watermark from a book I'm looking for
Thornhill: I think it's the symbol to an old student society, um the Nightshades
Wednesday: Like the deadly flower. Color me intrigued
Evelyn: Ooo, sounds like a cult
Blue: Do they sacrifice people to the almighty Book God?
Evelyn: Dammit Blue, lay off the Ice Cream!
Blue: Never! So.....do they?
Thornhill: I-I don't think so, I was told that they disbanded years ago
Wednesday: Do you have any idea why?
Thornhill: Sorry no, I was impressed by your answers in class today
Wednesday: My mother was a carnivorous plant aficionado, I assume I get my red thumb from her
Blue: You have a red thumb?
Evelyn: Not literally Blue
Blue: Oh.....my bad
Thornhill: Are you and your mother close?
Wednesday: Like two inmates sentenced to life in the same cell block
Evelyn: How cute
Blue: I know right.
Thornhill: I know it can't be easy, showing up mid semester, Evelyn came here not too long ago and we had Blue and Adam just a few months before her. I've been here a year and a half, I still feel like an outsider.
Wednesday: Because you're the only normie on the staff? Enid told me
Thornhill: To tell you the truth, I've never really fit in anywhere, too odd for the normies, not odd enough for the Outcasts. I thought Nevermore would be different but there's still a handful of teachers who will barely acknowledge me.
Blue: Oh that's kind of deep, don't worry Miss Thornhill, I know you're here and that matters
Thornhill: Thank you Blue, you're a kind boy
Wednesday: I act as if I don't care if people dislike me, deep down, I secretly enjoy it
Thornhill: Never lose that, Wednesday
Wednesday: Lose what?
Thornhill: The ability to not let others define you, it's a gift
I look over at Blue and thought about how myself and others have been telling him that he isn't a Demon, maybe we are wrong after all.....Blue is a Demon and he doesn't let anyone define him.......
But he is still a mystery to all of us, I just wonder what else he has to show?
___________________
Later that night, I brought Thing and Evelyn with me to break into Rowan and Xavier's room, Evelyn was up for it which I wasn't surprised about. From what I heard, she breaks rules all the time and has a reputation back in her old school for being the top girl.
I can relate with her in ways because I broke rules as well and in extreme circumstances. I still haven't told her about the other vision, was I scared?
No, I wasn't. I'm being smart with it.
Evelyn: So we are looking for that book right?
Wednesday: Correct, we might be able to find it here, now let's start investigating.
Xavier was in his dorm bathroom, it was risky of us to be here but we were quiet, but then a knock was heard on his door so the two of us quickly get under the bed. Xavier goes over and opens the door to reveal Bianca Barclay.
What was she doing here?
Xavier: You're not supposed to be here
Bianca: Good to see you too
Xavier: How did you get past the house master? Use your siren powers?
Bianca: Not while wearing this, would it kill you to not think the worst of me for once?
Xavier: What do you want Bianca?
Bianca: To see how you're doing, I'm sorry about Rowan, I knew you guys used to be close
Xavier: Since when did you give a damn about Rowan?
Bianca: You were the one afraid he would do something to Wednesday, isn't that why you have been following her around? Or is there something more? Seriously, what do you even see in her? Blue has a bigger chance with her than you! And not just that, you like his sister!
What? Xavier likes Evelyn and Bianca thinking that Blue would be with me?
Absolutely not.
Evelyn: WHAT?! WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!
Bianca: Seriously, you go after a goth girl and then a laid back slightly aggressive girl, you can't contain your heart in the right place!
Xavier: Well maybe it's because both of them haven't tried to manipulate me
Bianca: I make one mistake and you can't forgive me? She treats you like crap and Evelyn doesn't care about you like that, you can't get enough can you?
Xavier: Why are you fixated on Wednesday?
Bianca: Because she thinks she is better than everyone else, I can't wait to crush Ophelia Hall tomorrow and watch Evelyn and their werewolf roommate crumble, and then Blue will see that I'm the superior queen here. It's gonna be a Poe Cup Finale to remember.
Evelyn: Oh we will see Barclay.....and Blue will not see you that way, I can assure you
Xavier: I hate to think about what you've got planned
Bianca: My Game's already started, I like to win, is that so wrong?
Xavier: And you wonder why I broke up with you
Bianca: You used to love my killer instinct, we were good together, Xavier
Xavier: Were we? Is that how you wanted me to feel?
Bianca: Trust me, Wednesday Addams isn't the girl of your dreams, she's the stuff of your nightmares. Evelyn also isn't going to pay attention to you so give up on her as well, save yourself the trouble and pain
Bianca leaves and Xavier goes back to wash himself, we took this chance to escape and walk back to our dorm.
Evelyn: I can't believe what I just heard, Xavier.....likes me....and you!
Wednesday: A simple nuisance
Evelyn: And Bianca is still obsessing over my brother, this is just getting too chaotic, I always knew love was overrated.....boys too.....
Wednesday: That I can agree with, I would never pay attention to Thorpe, the same thing with Blue but only if it isn't about the investigation
Evelyn: I'm starting to have doubts Wednesday
Wednesday: Don't start on this Evelyn
Evelyn: I want.....God, can I just marry your mother?
Wednesday: That's....no....no you cannot
Evelyn: Dammit
