Chapter 30: The Hyde
Wednesday: That was torture, thank you
Tyler:......Okay, don't hate me, I'm just going to say it. I....want us to be more than friends
Wednesday: You'll snap out of it
Tyler: Don't do that, discount my feelings
Wednesday: I'm not friend material, let alone more-than-friend material. I will ignore you, stomp your heart, and always put my needs and interests first.
Tyler: You can keep trying to push me away, but it's not going to work
Wednesday: I almost killed you
Tyler: I survived
Wednesday: Beginner's Luck
Tyler: I'm tougher than you think
Wednesday: You're making a mistake
Tyler: Probably
Wednesday: Definitely
Tyler leans in, and for some reason I found myself leaning in as well.........
But I stopped.....I stopped myself from advancing, I don't know why, but this felt wrong. Was it because I shouldn't be kissing a boy?
Or is it because of something else.....
I pull away from Tyler before his lips could touch mine, and before he could ask what was wrong, the entrance to the Crypt was bursted open. In came Sheriff Galpin, who didn't expect to see his son with me.
Galpin: What the hell? Tyler?
Tyler: D-Dad? What are you doing here?
Galpin: The School Groundskeeper found a motorbike by the lake. It matches the description of the one the bank robber stole. There's a canoe missing, figured he might be on Raven Island. I'm not going to ask what this is, but I never saw the two of you here, you got it?
We both nod and he leaves, Tyler turns his attention back to me and had eyes of confusion.
Tyler: Hey, are you okay? You didn't seem so sure of yourself
Wednesday: That's because I wasn't, thank you for that Tyler, I'm going to go back now.
I leave Tyler at the Crypt and made my way back to Nevermore, I enter my dorm with my neutral expression, but that turned to shock when I saw Evelyn knocked out on the ground and Thing next to her....with a knife lodged into him.
Wednesday: Evelyn! Thing!
____________
3rd POV
____________
Wednesday quickly acted and took the knife out of Thing, then she shook Evelyn awake.
Evelyn: O-Ow, my head....Wednesday?
Wednesday: Quickly! We need to get my Uncle!
Evelyn saw what happened to Thing and quickly shook off her headache, then followed Wednesday who carried Thing to the Bee Hive where Fester was hiding at.
Wednesday: Fester? Fester, help! Help! Thing's not moving, he was stabbed!
Evelyn: Yeah, and whoever did that, knocked me out before!
Fester: Quick! Get him on the table!
Wednesday places Thing on the table and watches as Fester uses his electricity to shock the severed hand, an attempt that could bring him back.
But his body was stiff.
Fester: He's gone, Wednesday
Evelyn: N-No!
Wednesday: No he's not. Thing, if you can hear me, if you die, I will kill you. Go again. Now! Again, please!
Fester listens and begins to shock Thing multiple times, nothing happens at first and Wednesday was thinking about the worst to come. But then, the thumb of Thing begins to move and both Wednesday and Evelyn sigh in relief, knowing that Thing was okay.
Fester: For a minute, we thought you'd picked your last lock, buddy.
Wednesday: Who did this to you?
Thing: I don't know, they jumped me from behind.
Wednesday: Knife from behind the back, cowards. I promise that whoever did this to you will suffer
Evelyn: Should we get Blue to jump them back? I know he will scream out "Vengeance!" when doing it
Wednesday: I wouldn't mind that. Fester, I'll stitch him back up, they found your motorbike, so the Sheriff won't be far. You need to go, maybe next time you should steal something a little less conspicuous
Fester: Where's the fun in that? All right, I'll lay low here tonight, keep an eye on the patient, then I'll skedaddle in the morning. I guess I'll see you at your arraignment or the next family reunion. You'll always be my favourite, Wednesday
Wednesday: Be sure to tell Pugsley that, it'll give him a complex
Evelyn: Hah, I wish my uncle would tell me that
Wednesday: You have an uncle?
Evelyn: Not anymore, he died before I was born.
Wednesday didn't say anything and left to go and find Larissa Weems, while she did that, Evelyn went to go and find her brother. Blue was with Adam in their dorm, and they were playing Lethal Company on separate computers.
(Well No Shit)
Blue: Oh hey Evelyn!
Evelyn: Is that the new Lethal Company?
Adam: Yeah, this game is mad, you should play and get Enid involved.
Blue: And we'll get Ajax because sometimes he plays with us
Evelyn: Sounds like madness, and I'm up for it
Evelyn decided to watch the two play Lethal Company, she went to Blue's computer and watched as he and Adam went inside of a strange facility.
Blue: Oh, there's a landmine
But then a scream and the sound of someone's neck snapped, one of the monsters had killed Adam and was going to run off with his body.
But Blue wasn't going to let that slide.
Blue: Oh! Ahhh!
Blue makes his character chase after the monster as it drags Adam's dead body away.
Blue: GIVE ME HIM BACK! GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE HIM BAAAAACK! HE'S MINE!
(Probably my favourite thing that cane out of the game XD)
Evelyn: ._.
Adam: [Wipes Tear] You're such a true friend
Evelyn:......Okay then, my brothers are weird
Evelyn noticed that she got a text message and went to check her phone, it was from Wednesday and she requested her, Blue and Adam to come to their dorm.
Evelyn tells the boys and Blue quickly kills his character by intentionally looking away from a ominous looking creature with a spring as its neck.
The three leave Medusa's Hall and enter Ophelia's Hall, they go inside of Evelyn's room and find Wednesday waiting for them.
Evelyn: We are here as you requested
Wednesday: Good, the reason I called you here is because I have some information
Blue: What's up?
Wednesday: I'm not going to go into detail for the sake of Blue, but I found out from some sources that someone bought the Gates mansion and then gave all of her belongings to the caregiver, Teresa I. Glau.
Adam: Who is that?
Wednesday: A fake identity, It's an anagram for Laurel Gates.
Evelyn: So that's her old home, and now she is back in Jericho
Adam: Wasn't she dead?
Wednesday: Not anymore, she wants revenge on Nevermore for her family's misfortunes
Blue: But why?
Wednesday: I don't know, but what I do know is that the Hyde is involved. It's doing Laurel's bidding, she controls it
Evelyn: But who is it?
Wednesday: I have an idea, but I don't think you would like this
Adam: Who is on the top of your list?
Wednesday: Dr Kinbott
Blue: What?! Nah, it can't be here
Wednesday: It can and I'll prove it, with or without you
Evelyn: You're going to do it alone?
Wednesday: It's best if I am for this part
Evelyn: Alright, good luck then
Wednesday leaves Nevermore and goes towards Jericho for the sole purpose of confronting her number one suspect on who Laurel Gates was.
She entered the room with a music box once Kinbott had opened the door for her, the therapist was fairly confused on why Wednesday was here.
Kinbott: Oh, Wednesday, we don't have an appointment scheduled today
Wednesday: I wanted to return something, I found it in your old childhood room. I know you're Laurel Gates, and you've come back to Jericho to seek your revenge. And so did Mayor Walker, which is why you had to kill him. Who better to slide in and out of the hospital undetected than a psychiatrist under the guise of visiting another patient.
Kinbott: You're....not actually accusing me of murdering the mayor, are you?
Wednesday: The roses you left in Eugene's room was your mistake, they're the same variety that I found near your childhood bed
Kinbott: I honestly have no idea what you're talking about
Wednesday: There's only one reason an over qualified psychiatrist like yourself would settle in the inconsequential backwater that is Jericho. It allowed you to crawl through the troubled, young minds of outcasts until you found one that you can manipulate to exact your revenge
Kinbott: You know what? I don't have time to deal with your delusional fantasies. I have a patient emergency
Wednesday: Who? Xavier? I know all about the secret sessions you've been holding in your car. I also found the cave where you've been holding sessions to unlock the Hyde.
Kinbott: You're so out of line
Wednesday: Do you know how violently unpredictable a Hyde can be? It was your plan to have Xavier committed before he could turn on you too
Kinbott: Wednesday, you need help. More help than I can give you, maybe Blue can talk you out of this, because this is getting ridiculous.
Wednesday: Who are you calling? Xavier?
Kinbott: Judge Reynolds, I'm going to recommend you stay in a juvenile psychiatric facility
Wednesday: Oh please, you and I both know I'd be running that place in a week. Time's up Laurel.
Wednesday leaves the building, thinking she had solved the case, what she didn't know, was that Valerie Kinbott won't be breathing much longer.
The scene changes to the hospital as Larissa Weems, Wednesday Addams and Blue Light were waiting. Apparently, Valerie Kinbott was attacked by something, but both Blue and Wednesday knew that it was the Hyde.
Galpin was there and approached the three with the unfortunate news.
Galpin: She's gone
Blue: N-No!
Weems: S-She can't be!
Galpin: I'm sorry, there was nothing that the doctors could do
Wednesday looked over at Blue's face and she could see the sadness in it, but she also noticed the slight rage he was holding back. Wednesday found her hand tracing his arm in a comforting manner, this actually calmed Blue down and he thanks her.
Wednesday: I'm going to go now
Blue: Where are you off to?
Wednesday: I'm just going to speak to someone
Blue: Okay then, watch out for Googly Eyes, poke them if he jumps out of a Bush
Wednesday: Thank you for the idea
__________________
Time passes and we could see that Xavier Thorpe was just returning to his art studio, he turns on the lights and was surprised to find Wednesday inside again. She was sitting there, with a knife in the table.
Xavier: You know what? You need to stay out of my space
Wednesday: You need to take your own advice. You left that in my room, actually, you left it in Thing, how long have you been seeing Kinbott?
Xavier: Have you-? What am I saying? Of course you have, you've been spying on me, right? Cause I'm the villain in your fantasy, my Father thinks that my mental health is a PR problem that he needs to manage. He wanted to keep his troubled son out of the tabloids-!
Wednesday: And now he is going through his many problems that I don't care about
Xavier: I wasn't in your room, believe me or don't believe me, I don't care.
Wednesday: Your painting's been improving, I enjoy this one in particular. Feels like you really lived in it
Wednesday reveals a painting of Kinbott's face being slashed apart, and it makes her believe that she has finally got the Hyde pinned down.
Xavier: What do you want?
Wednesday: I'm the one asking the questions. What's Rowan's inhaler doing in your shed? Or Eugene's glasses?
Xavier: Whoa, whoa
Wednesday: Or these stalker images you took of me?
Xavier: No I-!
Wednesday: Don't forget your latest addition, Kinbott's necklace
Xavier: Someone planted that stuff!
Xavier approaches Wednesday but stops dead in his tracks as the police bust in with guns trained on Xavier.
Galpin: Freeze! Drop the knife! Drop the knife! Down on your knees! Cuff him.
An officer goes over to Xavier places handcuffs on his wrists, ready to escort him into a Police Car.
Galpin: You have the right to remain silent
Xavier: What?
Galpin: Anything you say can, and will be used against you in court. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed. Appreciate the help, Addams
Xavier: You! You framed me! I'm being set up! I should have let Rowan kill you!
____________________
Wednesday's POV
____________________
Xavier is taken away, and I felt as if justice was given out. I hated to admit it, but I wished that Blue was here as well because he helped me a lot with this investigation.
Laurel Gates was still out there, but I'll deal with that later. I left the shed and returned back to my dorm where I found Enid and Evelyn talking.
Enid: Hey
Wednesday: You're back
Enid: I'm gone for a few days, the place gets trashed, and Thing almost dies. Unless Evelyn isn't knocked out again, someone's got to look out for you
Evelyn: Hey, it's not my fault that people want to jump me
Wednesday: What happened to rooming with Yoko?
Enid: Yoko's great, I just decided I needed a few more boundaries
Evelyn: And I even told her to forget the tape
Enid: If that's fine with you
Wednesday: Of course, we don't need it
Enid: Don't tell me Wednesday Addams is mellowing out
Wednesday: Never, more like.....evolving
Evelyn:....If Blue was here, he would assume you were a pokemon
Wednesday: Which is why he isn't here. Thing missed you
Enid: I missed him too, I'm sorry about Xavier
Evelyn: Wait, you got him bagged?
Wednesday: Yes, and I'm not sorry. He's a liar and a killer, besides, there's nothing quite like the feeling of being proven right
Enid: Except maybe someone to share it with. Thing and Evelyn may have blabbed about your date with Tyler
Evelyn: When Adam told me, I couldn't believe it
Enid: So how'd it go?
Wednesday: It was interrupted, but it's fine, I'm not bothered
Enid: Well, how about you go see him? I'm sure he won't mind
Evelyn: But only if you're interested in him
Wednesday:.....Fine, I'll see if he wants to talk.
I leave my dorm once again and walk back to Jericho, I went straight for the Weathervane and walked through the door. The bell at the top signaled to Tyler, who was the only one there, that someone has walked it.
Tyler: We're closed
Wednesday: Then you should lock your doors. There are some really sick people out there
Tyler:...Hey, my dad told me what happened with Xavier, pretty nuts. That guys always seemed so normal, you know....for an Outcast
Wednesday: Well you know, it has made me reevaluate things
Tyler: Like what?
Wednesday: Like who I can trust
Tyler: D-Does that mean you're ready to become more than friends?
Tyler tries his advances again, and I fell victim to it once more. I stepped forward and I could see a small smile appearing on his face. He brings himself closer to me, but like last time, it felt wrong to me, my mind lingers towards something.....or should I say, someone...
Wednesday: You're certainly positive
Blue: Y-Yeah, I'm normally a happy person so uhh....good eye there!
Wednesday: Normally happy? What do you mean?
Blue: Oh don't worry, it's nothing
I....I can't do this.
I moved away from Tyler once more, but he was persistent and grabbed my face, at that moment, I fell victim to another vision.
And what I saw......was horrific.
It showed Dr Kinbott being mauled to death by the Hyde.....and the Hyde was Tyler.......
This whole time....it was him.
The vision ends and I find myself on the floor, Tyler was crouched besides me and looked worried for my wellbeing.
Tyler: Y-You okay?
Wednesday: I need to go
Tyler: What? What's wrong? Wednesday!
Wednesday: Of course the boy I almost kissed, would turn out to be a psychotic, serial killing monster
____________________________
Evelyn: So....what you're trying to say...is that Tyler, the fucking Barista with no Rizz, is the cover Zombie from Plants Vs Zombies?
Wednesday: Yes, but you didn't need to word it like that
Evelyn: It's necessary that I did.
Wednesday: We need to do something, now, where is your brother?
Evelyn: He is busy at the moment
Wednesday: With what?
Evelyn: Him and Adam are reading up on some Demon Lore or some BS. But that's fine because we can use Bianca's siren power.
Wednesday: You're right, let's get some of the others
Evelyn: Time for a jumping! We're...going to jump him right?
Wednesday: Not yet, because I have some ideas
___________
3rd POV
___________
Wednesday has formulated a plan with the Nightshades to pin Tyler down and take him somewhere for interrogation. Tyler was walking down a dark path in the forest, he waits for Wednesday to show up and when she does, he smiles, not knowing about her masterplan.
Tyler: Thing gave me your note, I was surprised that you wanted to see me. So uh, is this a second date?
Wednesday: It's a surprise, when I came to Nevermore, romance was the last thing on my mind. But just before we kissed the second time, my eyes have been opened and suddnely it all made sense. I was warned about you, yet I didn't listen, and that led to me framing Xavier for murder while the real Hyde helped me put him away
Tyler: Wait, you don't think-
Wednesday: I don't think. I know. Kinbott probably discovered your secret during one of your sessions. So she unlocked you, why'd you kill her? I thought Hydes were typically loyal to their masters.
Evelyn: Wait, I thought it was clear that she wasn't the master, is she still on that?
Tyler: Wednesday, this is nuts
Wednesday: On Outreach day, I told you I was visiting the old meeting house. Did Kinbott send you to spy on me? I have to hand it to you Tyler, using the Gates house as a trap to try and kill me or anyone else that was there. We were all threats to you, as it seemed from your actions.
Tyler: Okay, stop. Do you know how insane you sound right now?
Wednesday: Then again, it was foolish of you to try and jump Blue, or even hurt his sister.
Tyler: I'm not a monster! A-And if you really thought I was, why would you risk bringing me out to the woods to confront me alone?
Wednesday: Who said I was alone?
Right on cue, Evelyn emerged from the darkness, then the entire Nightshade Group started to reveal themselves.
Tyler: Okay, I don't know what kind of sick joke you're playing, but I'm out of here
Bianca: Actually, you're coming with us
Bianca uses her Siren Song to seize control of Tyler, she then makes him follow her to Xavier's art shed. The others place Tyler on the only chair their and tie him down with chains.
Evelyn: Hey you, you're finally awake.
Wednesday: Welcome Back
_____________
I think the next chapter is the last one for the season, so it's going to be big.
See you then!
