Galpin: Your father and I buried the hatchet, maybe you should do the same

Wednesday: I don't bury hatchets, I sharpen them. Let's go, Blue

Blue: Aight, bye Sheriff

Galpin: Take care of yourself, kid, don't let her boss you around

Wednesday: I don't boss him around

Blue: Yeah, we are partners, so don't worry

We leave the Weathervane and head back to Nevermore, Blue went to check up on Evelyn so I make my way over to Xavier's shed. I had some questions for him and I'll make him answer them, let's hope he has gotten over his little crush on me.

Because I don't have time for that.

I find his shed and enter with no invitation, I could see that he was working on his paintings so I make him stop and hand him the photo.

Wednesday: I need your help, don't gloat

Xavier: What, do you want some drawing lessons? Your line works a little shaky

Wednesday: I saw that in a vision, do you recognise it?

He hands me my photo back and shows me a drawing of his, a much more detailed version of my photo.

Wednesday: When did you draw this?

Xavier: Couple of days ago. I started having those dreams again, like before

Wednesday: Was the monster in them?

Xavier: No, but I could feel it in the shadows. You know, kind of lurking in my mind

Wednesday: So you know where this is?

Xavier: Yeah, it's the old Gates mansion, I pass it when I go running. Why?

Before I can tell Xavier why I'm interested in the mansion, a covered painting of his drops down and I saw that it was me during my Cello Session.

Great......he is painting me.

Xavier: After the dance, I just wanted to forget about you, but I couldn't. So I started painting and that's what came out, I can hear you up there playing. I can tell how you get lost in the music, I feel like it's the only time I get to see the real you.

He approaches and stands in front of me, looking down at my eyes, I look down and he places his hand on my chin and makes me look up. It was at this point that his eyes got lost in mine and his face was getting closer as well.

I was frozen for a moment but regained my composure and moved away. I accidentally bumped into another painting of his which revealed one of Evelyn Light, I quickly start to leave and Xavier did his best to stop me.

Xavier: Wednesday, wait!

Wednesday: No, I have no time right now

I leave Xavier's shed and head for the Gates Mansion, I didn't want to stay any longer because he has an unhealthy obsession with myself and Evelyn. She already doesn't like it so I'm glad that she hasn't seen the painting.

Blue's POV
_____________

Wednesday went towards Xavier's shed while I headed back to Nevermore, but I couldn't help but be wary. It was like someone was watching me closely, now I had a bad feeling so instead of going back to the school, I went deeper into the woods.

All of a sudden, I felt something homing onto me so I roll out of the way but when I stand up, I get kicked into a tree.

???: I thought you would do better

Blue: What?

I get a better look at my attacker and I was shocked at who I was looking at. That appearance, the aura and power I'm feeling from him.....it's a-

Blue: You're a Demon!

???: Correct, despite not officially meeting an actual Demon, you seem to recognise one immediately.

Blue: Who are you!?

???: My name is Warden, but that doesn't matter, what matters is you

Blue: Me?

Warden: Yes, show me the extent of your skill

Blue: You want these hands? I'll give it to you!

I leap at Warden and swing my leg at him, he disappears and reappears behind me and then grabs the collar of my trench coat. He proceeds to slam me into a tree before doing it again, but this time into the ground.

Warden: Surely you must know that rushing in blindly is.....not a good tactic

Blue: Yeah, I know, but it's apart of my plan!

From the ground, I switch our positions and now I was on top, my fist was going to implant itself into his face but like last time, he disappeared. I was confused for only a moment because I felt something connect with my face, it was Warden's leg and it sent me into another tree.

I get up and use my new training move, the ranged blue flame that my mother helped me to improve, and send waves of flames at Warden. He takes out some sort of staff that was bigger than him with a Moon crescent at the end, and swings it one time to disperse my flames.

Blue: What the?!

Warden: Don't tell me, is that it?

Blue: Your horns are in the shape of a moon crescent and so is the end of your weapon, are you a Moon Demon of some sorts?

Warden: You are correct, child. I am apart of the Moon Clan, that may or may not be extinct

Blue: I heard about them, what happened?

Warden: It was a tragedy but that is a story for another time, I want you to show me what you really can do

Blue: Why? Wait.....did you send that Demon imp at me?

Warden: No, that was another but he was killed for that, he failed to follow a direct order and so he faced the consequences.

Blue: You mean....you weren't meant to send that after me?

Warden: No, it wasn't time to confront you at the time. But now, I grow impatient, Son of Lupercio

Blue: So you know me like that, hmm?

Warden: Indeed, your father is well known throughout the world of Outcasts....but also the world of Demons. But you don't need to know anything but this......sometime in the future, you will have to make a choice. Your loyalty will be put to the test....I wonder where will you end up?

Blue: Woah! Hey! I need more than that, big man!

Warden: That is all I am giving you, child. We will meet again....and the rest will be up to you.

He was going to disappear but I had so many questions that I needed the answers to right now. I try to tackle him to the ground but Warden knocks me into more trees with his weapon, I get up and watch as he disappears again, but for good this time.

Blue: This is bad....really bad......

Wednesday's POV
____________________

I was at the Gates Mansion, but for some reason, Mayor Walker was also there and on the phone with someone. I hid behind a bush and begin to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Walker: Sheriff, pick up your damn phone! It's Noble, listen, I might have figured out who's behind all of this. It's a long shot, I'm gonna have to lay it out for you, we'll do it over pie at the Weathervane, just like the good old days. I'll see you soon

He enters his car and both me and Thing quickly enter the trunk of his car, my plan was to eavesdrop on his conversation with Sheriff Galpin.

After a few minutes, he parks up and walks towards the coffee shop, I leave the trunk, only to see the mayor get run over by a speeding car. I was shocked because it looked like this was planned, especially when the car doesn't stop at all and instead, it kept driving.

Someone didn't want to him to reveal anything.

_______________

I was currently in Weems' office and it was safe to say that she wasn't happy that I was at the scene of the crime. I was with Blue because she wanted to speak to both of us.

Weems: How do you end up at the centre of every terrible thing that happens here?

Wednesday: Incredible luck

Blue: Damn, I wish I can get some of that luck

Wednesday: Too bad

Weems: [Sighs] As of now, the school is on full lockdown, and your off campus privileges are revoked until further notice

Blue: That is.....uhh, I don't know if it's fair or not

Weems: It's fair. But let's round this back to you, Mr Light. Today, there were trees destroyed and small blue flames left behind at the scene. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this now, do you?

Blue: I-I do....but it's something you won't like

Weems: Enlighten me

Blue: I'm.....being watched

Wednesday: A stalker?

Blue:.....Another Demon

Weems: W-What?

Wednesday: Is it that same one from that night Eugene got attacked?

Blue: No, this is a new one, the old one died so they don't matter. But this one, he knows me and wanted to see what I can do, that's why the trees are destroyed, because he knocked me through them

Weems: Oh no! Are you okay?

Blue: Oh I'm fine, you should've seen him-!

Wednesday: He humiliated you, didn't he?

Blue: I-I wouldn't say humiliated, but yeah, I couldn't match up to him

Weems: I see, well make sure you stay away from him

Blue: I'll do my best to do so

We leave the office but I stop and look at Blue, unimpressed.

Wednesday: You're going to fight him, aren't you?

Blue: I've got to, Wednesday, who else is going to fight?

Wednesday: That's fine, but tonight, I'll be needing you and Evelyn

Blue: Breaking rules? Because that's the vibe I'm getting from you

Wednesday: We are going to the Gates mansion, but it won't be just us three, I'll be getting two others

Blue: Is Adam one of them?

Wednesday: No, because I'm sure he will be completing your Botanical Science homework while you're out tonight

Blue: Ah damn, you knew I didn't finish it!

Wednesday: I sit next to you, of course I know T_T

Blue: I'll let Evelyn know, and I'm guessing you're going to get the other two?

Wednesday: Yes, meet me outside the school

Blue nods his head and leaves to find his sister, I make my way over to Tyler's house and knock on his door. He opens it and already, a smile was present on his face once he realised it was me.

Tyler: Hey Wednesday-!

Wednesday: Your offer, I've.....reconsidered it

Tyler: Awesome! So, does 8 sound good? You want me to come and get you when it's time?

Wednesday: Just meet me outside the school

Tyler: Cool, I'll see you then

He closes the door and I walk back to Nevermore, annoyed that he is already lovesick. I enter my dorm next and find both Evelyn and Enid, I nod my head at Evelyn and she seemed to get the message.

Enid: Oh! You're back!

Wednesday: Yes. I've been thinking about my less-than-enthusiastic response to your surprise soirée. And I must admit, I regret not showing you my gratitude towards you more appropriately.

Enid: You really mean it?

Evelyn: Wednesday Addams with an apology? It cannot be!

Wednesday: Just take the win, Enid. If only there was a way for us three girls to get off campus and have a little birthday redo. Just three best friends, too bad the school is on lockdown. Would you look at that full Moon

Evelyn: Ah yes, a full moon

Enid: Oh, how about I say I'm about to wolf out and get a pass to the lupin cages. And say you volunteered to lock me in.

Wednesday: My deviousness has finally rubbed off on you, Evelyn was already a menace

Evelyn: You got that right, sarge. Let's kick the shins of every idiot we see! Except my brother of course, cause he is the best idiot

Enid: Oh! We should wear our snoods!

Wednesday: Oh...I believe I left mine at fencing

Evelyn: [Sarcastically] Oh no!

Enid: Actually you left yours ar the Weathervane. Luckily, Bianca brought it back

Enid hands me over my....snood, much to my disappointment, I take it either way and head off with the girls and reach the rendezvous point. Tyler was sitting in his car and didn't notice us so we jumped into the back seats.

Tyler: Hey Wednes-! Woah, what are you two girls doing here?

Evelyn: Don't mind us, just entering your car for no reason

Enid: Wait, he is our Uber Driver?

Tyler: Uber Driver?! Wednesday, I thought it was a date-!

Wednesday: No, we are going to the Gates Mansion

Enid: Oh no! I don't want to go!

Blue: [Enters Passenger Seat] Why can't it be Luigi's Mansion?

Enid: Actually, I think I'm fine to go

Wednesday: Drive, Tyler

Tyler: But-!

Evelyn: Just do it, Weather Boy
_______________

Evelyn's POV
_______________

Tyler sighs and starts driving towards the mansion, I noticed that Enid was nervous but not as much as I thought she would be. I assume it has to do with Blue being with us, which is understandable as he is the strongest out of all of us.

If anything jumps us, then he will reverse-jump them, because he won't allow any of us to get hurt.

Enid: Wednesday, I thought this was a Girls night out!

Wednesday: Change of Plans

Evelyn: I mean, you still have me and Wednesday....plus Blue is here and you can get close with him if you want~

Enid: O-Okay!

Tyler: So, I'm guessing you knew about this?

Blue: Oh yeah, we just needed a driver and you're the only one with a license. And if it wasn't you, it would be me or Evelyn stealing a car.....although I would've preferred that

Tyler: Interesting....well let's hope nothing bad happens

Blue: Ehh, something might, but I'm sure we will be okay

Eventually, we arrived at the Gates Mansion and stood outside of the....gate.

Hehe...funny word play.

Enid: Seriously, you wanna go in there? This place is creepy AF

Wednesday: I know

Blue: Hey, we can have fun in the scary mansion, I mean, we might even get to find Adam's dad!

Enid: That's.....

Tyler: Controversial....

Evelyn: He would kick you for saying that

Blue: I know

Wednesday: Let's go

Wednesday walks towards the garage first and was going to try and open the garage door but seemed to remember something. She looks back at us and ushers Blue over, he smiles and rubs his hands together and kicks it open.

Blue: I am the Gate Keeper, I open the Gates and my key is my foot

Enid: [Giggles] I can see that

Tyler: I'd feel bad for anyone that finds themselves at the receiving end of that

We enter the building and found nothing out of the ordinary until Wednesday seemed to recognise the car with us.

Wednesday: This hit the mayor

Blue: Oh, the lore!

Enid: Okay, this just took a dark turn. We need to call Tyler's dad right freaking now!

Blue: I mean....do we? We got me here, I'll deck the face of anyone that comes at us

Evelyn: Yeah, but maybe Enid coming wasn't a good idea, she can be endangered

Wednesday: I have no plans to get expelled, so we won't be doing that

Tyler: This is the night I'm going to die...

Evelyn: Oh calm down, we will be fine

Wednesday walks ahead, followed by Blue and Enid, I was behind them and Tyler was besides me, still nervous about all of this. I watch as Enid whimpered and clung to Blue's arm for comfort and I couldn't help but smirk when he brought her closer to him.

I didn't realise it at first but now I've come to the conclusion that my brother is actually husband material.....even though he can be the biggest idiot around.

We enter the living room and Wednesday starts looking at the painting of the Gates Family. The girl looks familiar but I'm not sure from where I've recognised her before. Wednesday pressed something on a pillar and it reveals a secret mural of Crackstone, behind the Gates Fmaily picture.

Blue: Aww, I thought it would've revealed a secret basement!

Wednesday: That would've been more ideal. Tyler, Blue, you two check the rest of the ground floor. Us three will search upstairs.

Enid: N-No! I want Blue to come with us!

Evelyn: We will be fine Enid, you can hug my arm if you want

Enid: O-Okay. I still prefer to hold onto Blue.

Blue: It's just like Scooby Doo, ey, Tyler?

Tyler: Yeah, and I'm assuming we are Shaggy and Scooby?

Blue: Yes we are, although I'm more like Scrappy because I want to run the hands

Tyler: Then I'm relying on you if something were to come at us

We separate and Wednesday wants me to go with Enid while she goes off on her own, Enid was still scared but I reassure her that I'll be with her.

Enid: T-Thanks Eve.

Evelyn: Anytime Enid

Enid: W-Why am I even here? I know what my mom would say-!

Evelyn: Forget about what your mother would say and think of something Blue would say

Enid: W-Why Blue?

Evelyn: Because I know you love him, Enid

Enid: I-I can explain!

Evelyn: You don't need to because I'm okay with it, you have the green light from me....if you can get through his density

Enid: I-It can't be that hard, right?

Evelyn: Enid....it's Blue....I don't need to explain any more

3rd POV
____________

While the three girls begin to look upstairs, Blue and Tyler searched the ground floor for anything interesting. They agreed to separate as well, which was surprising because Blue thought Tyler would be concerned if he stayed by himself.

But Tyler seemed cool with it so Blue looks around by himself, it was quiet and Blue didn't like it so he made sure to watch his back. That bad feeling came back to him so he looks around more often

Eventually he looks outside a small window and saw someone he didn't think he would see this soon.

Blue: Is that.....Warden?

Blue squinted his eyes and could see behind some trees in the distance, that he was right and that the mysterious Moon Demon who attacked him was present.

He was staring back at Blue and the young Demon Boy was ready to confront him but stopped when he saw Warden motion behind him. Blue's eyes widened when he felt a presence behind him and turned around to see that the Hyde was behind him.

Blue: Where the hell did you come from?!
