The inside of her room was a mess, piles of wrapping paper lined the floor. Boxes of different sizes beside them, some holding holes and others ripped in half with claw marks on the sides.

Tape lined the edge of her finger tips as she placed them neatly on the wrapping paper her tongue slightly stuck out the side of her lips. As she concentrated on making sure the wrapping was perfect. Her door opened and Ajax walked inside.

"You're still wrapping, I thought you finished" she huffed as she looked up at him "I couldn't exactly go into town and get supplies. So I had to run around school asking people for boxes. Luckily Enid let me use her wrapping paper, and I got the tape from Thing".

She stood up off the floor holding onto the gift "are you ready for the surprise party?" she nodded as she grabbed her jacket off her bed.

"I have the gift and Enid told me everything is all set for the cake". Ajax opened the door "so you gonna finally tell me about that kiss, or are you just gonna ignore me every time I ask".

Her cheeks reddened as they walked down the hallway. "I don't know what you want me to say Jax. It was a kiss, I mean people kiss all the time".

The cold air wrapped around her the second they stepped outside. "It was a kiss with Wednesday Addams, which is pretty exciting! I mean you've been crushing on her since she's been here".

Erna smiled lightly "I don't wanna make her uncomfortable or anything, I mean it was a kiss, I don't want her thinking anything of it".

She walked inside the tomb greeting everyone as they waited for Enid to bring Wednesday. At the sound of movement Erna hide behind Ajax waiting patiently to jump out and shout.

Erna nearly smacked Ajax when he coughed, she shushed him as she glared at him. "Whoever you are show yourself, try anything and you'll lose limbs". At that everyone jumped out "surprise!".

Erna song happily as they neared Wednesday slowly with her cake. Erna smiled brightly "I hope you like the cake. Xavier went with the whole design overall".

"The pink ballon was my little touch, why don't you make a wish?" Wednesday walked away looking at a wall. "Wait it's Latin" Erna frowned as she walked forward "fire will rain, when I raise. That's kinda scary".

Wednesday muttered to herself slightly and Ajax sighed "wait, we're never eating that cake, are we?". Erna turned and looked at him "Jax".

He laughed lightly "I just really want cake". She turned and gasped slightly when Wednesday fell towards the ground "I swear she's always fainting".

—

    When Wednesday opened her eyes she was greeted by silence at first. Until the softness of whispering slipped into her ears, when she sat up she noticed it wasn't whispering, more say Erna.

"I told the others I'd stay with you until you woke up, Ajax sorta stole the cake. Hopes that's fine". Wednesday pushed herself off the ground "I had another vision, I need to figure out what it meant".

Erna hummed lightly "why don't you open your gift first and then we can go running around and figure out what it meant, well mainly you, I can't actually leave the school anymore. But I'll help".

She handed the gift to Wednesday "I wrapped it myself, if you saw my room right now, you'd know how hard it was finding the perfect box for it. I had to practically beg Bianca for the box".

Wednesday ripped the wrapping paper off the small box pulling it open and looking down at the present. "It's a necklace, with your name. Thing actually helped me pick it out".

Erna grabbed something from around her neck "I have one too, so we can match. It's okay if you don't wear it, at least you'll have it".

At the sound of Ernas phone chiming she sighed "that's Ajax, he was keeping an eye out at the school for me, guess this means I gotta get back".

Erna left in a hurry, Wednesday wrapped the necklace around her neck clipping it in place. Her fingers wrapped around it for a moment, a small smile slightly rising along her lips.

It faded away when she heard the door open, "I forgot my jacket and it's freezing out there". Erna grabbed her jacket off the floor "I can walk you back to the school if you want Wednesday, unless you wanna go alone".

Erna smiled shyly as she as she pointed outside "I'd recommend we stick together, it's really dark out there, that things probably lurking about".

Wednesday walked forward "I enjoy the darkness" Erna blinked "I would be concerned if you hated it, I actually used to be scared of the dark when I was little. Not that it really matters now".

The duo walked outside Erna wrapping her jacket tightly around her frame as they approached the school. "I hope you're not upset about the surprise party, Thing was the first to mention it to me, I of course had Enid get everything else set up".

Wednesday looked at Erna pausing in her steps making the girl frown deeply. "You were there, in my vision, I saw you". Erna smiled awkwardly "really? I find that kinda creepy. What did you see anyways? Maybe I can help since I'm in it".

"It was a house, with a gate, have you heard or seen anything like that before?". Erna tensed up as she looked around "I have, let's get back to the school and get some supplies before we sneak off".

—

     The outside the house looked the same, Erna felt her body tense up the second she pushed the gate open. The creak was loud as she looked around making sure no one was around.

"Just watch your step, this place is a wreak" she walked along the pathway pushing open the door that was on the verge of breaking. She looked at the stairs first sighing deeply to herself as she neared them. "Have you been in here before".

She nodded at Wednesdays words as she walked up the stairs nearing the room from before. "I think you'll get the idea once you see it".

She opened the door letting Wednesday walk inside of it, she looked around her eyes looking at the chains on the ground. "It brought you here the other night when it took you".

Erna smiled sadly "I was in a creepy ass cave first, they knocked me out with a shit ton of drugs before they brought me here. It attacked me again and well you found me in the woods".

"Let's look around and see if we can find anything else". Erna walked towards the window wiping away some dust as she looked outside of it.

"The scary part of this all, is that I can't remember all of what happened. It's like parts of my memories are missing and I can't figure out what. I thought coming back would help me".

She grabbed the chains off the floor "maybe you can have a vision and see, I doubt it'll work, but consider it a test". Wednesday grabbed the chains her eyes rolling into the back of her skull as she fell towards the ground.

The first thing she saw was darkness, it was all that surrounded her before a dull light entered the room. She turned towards it a sickening scream slammed into the atmosphere making her gasp.

She turned around once more seeing Erna pinned down on a table. Dark veins lined all over her flesh as she cried out "it burns! what did you do to me!".

"I fixed you" Erna let out a whimper as someone approached her slamming a needle into her neck. "You'll burn them all, every single outcast will perish at your hands Erna".

"No! I'm not gonna kill anyone, they're my friends" a laugh entered the air "you have no idea how powerful you are. You've been the plan since day one, you have always been the key".

Erna winced slightly "I don't understand, I thought Wednesday was the key". A growl entered the room "Wednesdays not as important like you are. We kept her alive for you Erna, all we need is her blood, nothing more. But you love her, and for that I won't kill her until you finish your damn job!".

Erna tugged at the ropes tightly her eyes slamming into Wednesday's. "It's a trap! Get out Wednesday! Get out! GET OUT! GET OUT! It's not me!".

A sharp pain slammed into Wednesday's body making her vision end.

Wednesday gasped when her eyes open Erna stood in front of her. Wednesday looked down at the knife slammed into her stomach.

"You can't stop us Wednesday" tears slipped out of Ernas eyes as she pulled the knife out. "Erna has been under my control for weeks, getting her away from that school wasn't easy. But once you showed up, it just seemed all she could do was follow you around. I grabbed her the second I could".

Erna grabbed the chains off the floor "she does everything I made her do". Erna wrapped the chains around her wrists and Wednesday moved toward the girl grabbing the chains.

"Erna, I know you're in there. You can fight this, don't let them win". For a moment she saw the hesitation in Ernas eyes as they lighten for a second. "Wednesday".

Her voice sounded low as she looked at the girl in front of her. "Erna" Wednesday let the chains go. "I don't have long, whatever they did to me was strong, Ajax will know how to help. Tell him code red and he'll give you something. I can't say what it is, they might figure it out. Just get it and be ready to come at me with all your force".

Erna winced as she walked towards the desk "take this, get the hell out of here. If I'm at the school, don't trust me. Not unless you know it's me in control, trust me you'll know".

Wednesday grabbed the music box out of Ernas grasp "how long have you been like this, with them controlling you". Erna smiled sadly "since the beginning, only at first it wasn't as strong. Whatever they did to me, it made it stronger and it's like I'm not even me anymore. I can't even trust my own thoughts".

Wednesday neared the door "I'll talk to Ajax. We'll stop them, whoever they are". When the door shut Erna sat down on the bed locking the chains around her wrists. Then everything faded into darkness.
