22. You Sound Ridiculous | 24. My Theory

After everything I gave up on what Wednesday was up to and just stayed with Enid hoping to get the image of Dr. Kinbott out of my head. I helped her move everything back into her room with Wednesday since she wanted to go back.

"Why are you with me instead of your boyfriend? I'm sure he would distract you so much better?" Enid says looking at her nails laying in her stomach.

"He's not my boyfriend." I look over at her.

"You want him to be." She looks back at me with a smile.

"Maybe." I say making her sit up and turn to face me,

"You two would be so cute as an official couple. His Golden Retriever energy with you're a Black Cat energy." She says making me laugh agreeing with that. "Where's Wednesday?"

"Probably going to accuse Xavier now." I say as her phone goes off so she reads it.

"Val... Xavier was arrested for the murders. They found Rowan's and Kinbott's belongings in his possession." Enid looks at me sadly.

"What?" I get off her bed rushing to find Wednesday and see the police lights so I run over. "What the hell?" I ask her.

"He had Rowan's glasses and Kinbott's necklace. Not to me the painted her with claw marks across her face just the same as you saw. I'm sorry but he's the Hyde." She explains to me.

"He could've been set up." I don't believe it. He couldn't be the monster.

"Then explain the painting and don't say he saw it in his dreams. He had nothing to say when I revealed it. He's guilty."

I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to believe, and my head was killing me with all theses emotions. I slowly back away and go where my feet take me ending up in town to see Tyler.

I walk through the door with tears running down my face because I swore it couldn't have been Xavier. Some one had to set him up since Wednesday was so set on believing it was him.

"We're closed." Tyler says cleaning with his back facing me.

"Tyler..." My voice cracks making him tune to face me quickly.

"Don't cry, please." He walks over pulling me into his chest making more tears come out. "I'm sorry. My dad told me what happened with Xavier. He always seemed so normal. You know, for an outcast." He rubs my back.

"I-I just can't believe it still. I swore he was innocent. I saw him get attacked by his own painting... He wouldn't have done that on purpose would he? I thought... he was someone I could believe in and trust." I rest my head against his chest.

"What can I do to help you?"

"I don't know... This just had to get dumped on top of me dealing with what happened to Kinbott. I thought hanging out with Enid would help distract me and it sorta did because she brought up my calling you my boyfriend." I let out a tiny chuckle.

"How did you respond to that?" He rests he chin on top of my head.

"You're not my boyfriend and she said I want you to be."

"And your response to that?" He asks so I look up at him,

"Maybe." I give him a tiny smile, "Just for the record my maybe means an embarrassed called out yes." I make him smile.

"So does that mean we're official now?" He tilts his head with a grin so I lean up to kiss him and he kisses me back.

"Does that answer your question?" I bite my bottom lip smiling causing him to bring his hand to my face pulling me into a passionate kiss.

Kissing him made me forget about everything going on outside this stupid cafe but it was ruined by a vision I wish I never got. It was Kinbott attacked then the Hyde turn back into himself and it being Tyler. Now you and him made so much since since I talked about Tyler more than anyone.

"Valentine are you okay? He looks at me worried as I lay on the floor.

I just stare at him feeling so many things. This was the main person I trusted with my life and he's the freakin Hyde. But then again being the Hyde... I felt the split personality. I know he has no control since Hyde's are unpredictable. I also knew part of him felt bad about what he does. My heart started to hurt as I just stare into his eyes. I felt betrayed and normally I would get back at him by trying to kill him but I couldn't even think to do that because I fell in love with him. Did he really have feeling for me? Was it a distraction? Was it the master's plan?

"Val." He waves his hand in front of my face making me tear up again. "Hey, what's wrong?" He pulls me to sit up so I scan his face.

"I have to go. I'll text you later. I just have to go." I get up from the floor.

"Val..." I hear the pain in his voice. "What did I do? Please tell me. I love you." I hear him say to himself making me cry more.

"Would you ever hurt me?" My voice cracks before I head to the door to leave.

"Why would I ever hurt you? I could never. I fell in love with you, Valentine Addams." He walks towards me and I don't back away from him.

"I fell in love with you too." I give him a kiss before leaving and once outside I run back to the school.

I didn't really want to tell anyone Tyler was the Hyde because I loved him but he killed innocent people and Xavier was falsely accused. I guess I was still the same messed up me since I didn't hate Tyler. I was hurt but I didn't hate him. After all he had a master against his will that forced him to become this killing monster.

"Tyler's the Hyde. I got a vision of him killing Kinbott while kissing him." I spit out to Wednesday out of breath from running rushing into her room.

-

The next day Wednesday gets a group of us to gather together to question Tyler. To get him to show up Wednesday took my phone pretending to be me saying I needed him to meet me about why I had to leave in a rush the other night.

"This is the right thing, Val. I understand you fell for him but he's murdered people and framed your friend." Yoko says as we wait for Tyler to show up. 

"I know but..."

"You feel slightly guilty because you love him and trusted him. You still wish deep down he's the boy you opened up to." Bianca walks over to me.

"Kinda, it's because I'm hoping that part of him hates what he does since he has no control. I want that feeling I got once from him to be real. I want him to have split personality. And if all that is real that's why I feel bad."

When Tyler shows up I had the guilty feeling as Wednesday walked out confusing him since he was expecting me.

"Where's Valentine? She texted me to meet her about the other night." Tyler looks around for me as the rest of us watch hidden out of sight.

"Xavier warned me and Valentine about you, but we didn't listen." Wednesday crosses her arms staring him down.

"Ironic now, huh? Where's your sister or did you steal her phone lying again to get me here?" Tyler crosses his arms now.

"Ironic would've been framing Xavier for murder while the real Hyde helped me put him away." She tells him ignoring the second half of his question.

"Wait... you don't think-,"

Wednesday cuts him off, "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 Hyde's were typically loyal to their masters."

"Wednesday, this is nuts."

"On Outreach Day, I told you I was visiting the old meeting house. Did Kinbott send you to spy on me? The night at the Rave'N you knew I was originally was going to go to your cave in the woods with Eugene. You warned Kinbott and Eugene probably saw her torching it. Then she sent you to clean up her mess. I have to hand it to you, Tyler. Wounding yourself that night at the Gates mansion, that was a masterstroke of misdirection." She tells him everything. "Kinbott told you to get Valentine to fall for you so she would never suspect it was you. You've just been using her."

"Okay, stop. Do you know how insane you sound right now? For one; I would never use your sister. I truly fell in love with her. Two; I'm not a monster. A.. And if you really thought that I was, why would you risk bringing me out to the woods to confront me alone?" Tyler has enough of her.

18. Birthday, Yes | 20. A Hyde

The next day Tyler said his dad didn't want him seeing me for awhile because Wednesday always ends up in the center of everything bad. None of us were allowed to leave because the school was on lockdown so I just stayed in my room or hung out with Enid. "Let's go." Wednesday opens my door confusing me. 

"Wednesday." I get up rushing after her. 

"Ready for our girls night?" Enid pops up. 

Outside I realize we were getting in Tyler's car. "Wait, he's our Uber driver?" Enid asks confused. 

"Uber driver? I thought you said Valentine needed to see me? You made it sound serious." Tyler asks confused. 

"I thought this was a girls' night out." Enid looks at Wednesday. 

"If I needed to see you I would have texted or called you." I tell Tyler. 

"A change of plans." She tells us. 

"What's up with the weird matching hoodie scarf things?" Tyler asks us three. 

"Don't ask. Just drive." She tells him. 

Enid crosses her arms leaning back upset. "I didn't know." I whisper to her. 

"I know." She huffs.

Wednesday had Tyler drive us to the Gate's mansion wanting to go inside making Enid nervous. "Okay, this isn't what I signed on for." Tyler tells Wednesday. 

"Ditto." Enid agrees. 

"If we get caught you're going to be in more trouble. And I'm going to get dragged into making Tyler's dad not trust me again and make Weems want to keep an eye on me." I speak up. 

"I want to do this for my birthday. Not a dinner or surprise party like you did Val." She looks back at us as she unlocks the gate. 

"Then you shoulda just said so. You didn't have to trick us." Tyler tells her. 

"If you want to go, you can. I'm going to go check out the garage." Wednesday heads in so I look at the two then follow her and they follow me.

Wednesday, Tyler and I couldn't open a door so Enid steps in getting it open. We go into the garage and see the car that hit the mayor. "Okay. This just took a dark turn. We need to call Tyler's dad right freaking now." Enid panics. 

"Why? So he can take me back to Nevermore and get me expelled? It's not gonna happen." She walks off again. 

"Come on Enid." I link my free arm with hers. 

"This is the night I'm gonna die." Tyler makes me laugh so I apologize. 

"Enid, it's okay." I tell her as she whimpers as we go inside the house.

As we explore a room something catches my eye. "Kinda like at home." I say pressing a piece on the bookshelf making it open. 

"You're right." Wednesday gives me a slight smile. 

"Who doesn't have a spooky built in alter in their family library?" Enid asks. 

"Ours is in the living room." Wednesday tells her and I nod my head, 

"More seating for year-long Dia de los Muertos." I add. 

Wednesday finds out the candles are still warm and make us split up. "Why don't we go in twos?" I ask since Tyler was going to be alone. 

"He can handle himself." She says making Enid drag me with her. 

"Stay safe..." I tell him as we go upstairs. 

"You two go left, I'll go right." Wednesday tells us making Enid say splitting up is an bad idea. 

"This is when every best friend dies in a horror movie." Enid whines. 

"I'm going to be with you, it's okay." I hold her hand as Wednesday leaves us.

"I know what my mom would say. Enid, you're a doormat. You're too needy. Show some teeth. Nobody likes a desperate little furball. Shut up, Mom. Get out of my head!" Enid talks to herself. 

"Your mom is rude. My parents would never talk to us like that. Is your dad better?" I ask trying to distract her. 

"Oh, he's way better. He doesn't care I haven't wolfed out yet compared to my mom. You know she tried sending me to werewolf conversion camp. I told her no. If I'm going to do it, I'll do it on my own." She tells me. 

"Good for you, Enid." I squeeze her hand then a room catches our eyes. "Wednesday, come look at this." I call out to her.

She comes into the room that had no dust or cob webs, the bed was made, and fresh flowers on the nightstand. "Maybe she didn't die. Faked her death and became someone else." I tell Wednesday as she explains it can't be Laura Gates like Enid suggests because she died 25 years ago. 

An object shatters making her say it's time to go. "This is officially the worst girls night out ever." Enid says as we rush out of the room and Tyler tells us to get out before screaming. 

"Tyler!" I panic making Wednesday shove me back. 

The three of us somehow all fit in the dumbwaiter to get away from the monster. Wednesday closes it right on time as it sees us. Enid panics while Wednesday and I stay calm. Well that was until it clawed at the little door. The rope snaps and we fall to the lowest level.

"You okay?" I ask Enid as we get up from the floor.

"Not really? But physically, yes. You?"  She coughs. "Both okay." I lie a little getting slightly scared which was not normal. 

As I look around I see body parts in jars before footsteps above us boom. I grab Enid's hand leading her to window to get out then she helps me as Wednesday goes to look at the jars closer before we help her out too. 

"You okay?" Wednesday asks Enid. 

"Since when do you care." Enid rushes off and I remember Tyler running off to find him. 

"Valentine, what the hell are you thinking?!" Enid yells at me. 

"I have to go back for Tyler!" I shout. 

"The monster's back there!" I hear her and Wednesday following. 

"I don't care! I have to make sure he's okay!" I run faster ahead of them.

I find Tyler breathing heavily making me rush over to his side to see he had claw marks across his chest. "Shit." My eyes widen and my hands slightly shake as I don't know what to do at the moment because my mind was spinning. "You're going to be okay. Can you walk? We can't stay here too long." I eye his chest and his face. 

"Where'd you come from?" Wednesday asks and I turn to see Xavier. 

"Here. Take this" He gives me his scarf to press on Tyler's chest. "What happened to him?" He asks. 

"What does it look like?" I sigh and help Tyler up.

-

We all end up going to Tyler's house where I take care of Tyler's wound and catch our breath. "I'll try to be careful." I help Tyler take off his jacket. "Enid, get me a wet washcloth and a blow of water. Xavier, find me scissors. Wednesday, find me the first aid stuff." I tell the three and Tyler tells Wednesday where it was. 

"Here." Xavier hands me scissors and I cut Tyler's gray shirt to get to his wound. 

I clean up the blood and wound, put medicine on it, then use butterfly closures on each scratch. "Thanks, Doc." Tyler says as I get closer to finishing as the three watch us so I look away from his chest to give him a smile.

"Not to make this about me, but I am having a full-blown panic attack right now. We need to get back before Weems realizes we've been gone." Enid says before the sheriff walks in. 

"What the hell happened?" He asks looking at Tyler. "This was you, wasn't it?" He walks closer looking at Wednesday. 

"Wait, Dad, please. I'm okay. See Valentine, patched me up." Tyler gets up to stop him. 

"Sheriff, I understand you're upset, but I think you need to see something." Wednesday tells him so he agrees to take a look.

"I'll give you three a ride back to school." Tyler grabs his keys. 

"No, we can walk. You need to rest up. You got attacked." I try to stop him. 

"I'm fine now thanks to you. Let me do this for you guys. I'm sure Enid wants to get back as fast as possible." He looks over at her and she nods her head fast. 

"Fine." I say and we get in his car while Wednesday left with his dad.

"Thanks for the ride, Tyler. Hope you heal up quickly." Enid gets out of the car with Xavier who doesn't say a word. 

"I'm sorry, Wednesday dragged you into this tonight. If I just stayed with you downstairs." I lean my head back so Tyler grabs my hand. 

"No, what if this happened to you? I rather it be me than you. I could never have you get hurt around me. You need to go get some rest too because I can tell tonight was tough on you." He gives my hand a squeeze. 

"I've never been scared like that... For myself, Enid, and you. When I found you hurt, when I heard you scream downstairs. I wanted to cry." My voice cracks. 

"I'm fine and I know. I saw your hands shaking. Go make sure Enid isn't having a break down right now." I nod my head undoing my seat belt before giving him a kiss, 

"Goodnight." I get out smiling as he sat there shocked by my actions.

"Enid..." I walk into the room to see her sitting on her bed crying. 

"I was scared tonight. We could've died and Wednesday doesn't care unlike you. I can't do it. I've tried being her friend but I get no where." She cries into her hands so I go sit next to her. 

"I'm sorry, Enid." I put an arm around her pulling her closer to me. 

"Don't be sorry. You did nothing. You were a great friend tonight being by my side." She wipes her eyes.

12. Looking for a Clue | 14. It's Human

"At least you choose to be Black Cats." I say as Enid draws on my whiskers and nose. 

"Done. You look amazing." She claps her hands as Wednesday come in to change into her costume while we go out. 

"I wanna take a picture with you." Enid pulls out her phone and we take a picture together. 

When Wednesday comes out she didn't put whiskers on which Enid ends up okay with because Wednesday threatens her. We all take out place in and Enid smiles at Ajax making Wednesday tell her to focus. Xavier looks over eyeing me and I look away from him. 

"What do we have here? The runt of the litter with the second unwanted." Bianca sees us. 

"For the record, we don't believe we're better than everyone else. Just that we're better than you." Wednesday pisses her off before Weems starts the Poe Cup.

As we were rowing the other team uses it's axes making us duck. "I get no rules but that's a bit much." I say to myself. 

When we get to land Wednesday and I run to get the flag while Enid makes sure Bianca can't sabotage our boat. "Later Addams!" Xavier shouts at us after getting their flag. 

Wednesday gets the flag then touches the structure before falling to the ground getting a vision. "Wednesday!" I panicked because we've never passed out. "Wednesday!" I bend down to shake her and get a vision of what see was seeing but in third person view. I come back before her and see Bianca and Divian. 

"She taking a catnap?" Bianca laughs before running off.

"Wednesday, we gotta go. We can find out about what that girl told you later and this place." I pick up the flag running off. 

"You saw?" Wednesday runs behind me. 

"I touch you and saw what you were seeing but like spectating it." I explain quickly. 

We get back in the canoe and pass the Jokers because they started to sink. "Bye bye." I give them a small wave. We catch up to the Gold Bugs but I had a feeling Kent was pushing us away. "Thing..." I get his attention to jump in the water. When he gets back in the boat we catch back up and sink the Gold Bugs letting us come in first.

For when Weems gives us the Poe Cup Wednesday and I didn't exactly like having all eyes on us. As Enid is handed the Poe Cup Wednesday walks off as she cheers. She bumps me to celebrate so I do just for her. 

"Where did Wednesday go?" Enid asks. 

"Walked off some where." I point in the direction she went. 

"You're going to celebrate with us right?" She asks me. 

"Yeah." I nod my head making her more happy. She puts the cup down at a table with the other girls and goes off to find Wednesday. 

"Congratulations." Xavier walks up to me. "Congratulations on losing." I give him a smile so he nods his head with a smile. 

"You looked as a Black Cat. I think you should be one next year." He looks down at me.

I look up at him thinking about how in the past saying I was confused with feelings but what I think I felt for Tyler was stronger than Xavier. He we just missing something I felt with Tyler. I was still nowhere to admitting or understanding my feelings towards them but I know he was missing something. 

"Maybe... It would be nice to kick your ass again along with Bianca." I look away from him. 

"You're still mad at me aren't you." He huffs. 

"You know the answer." I cross my arms. 

"We're always going to fight about him." He scoffs shaking his head. 

"I wonder whose fault that is? You could just stop but you can't get enough of it." I walk off to sit with the girls hoping he would leave me alone and he does.

I spent the rest of the day with they girls celebrating till it was late. "Thing." I see him on my bed and he tells me Wednesday found the book so I go to her room. 

"Where was this secret library?" I ask walking into the room. 

"The statute, you snap twice and it opens. The Nightshades are still a club. Bianca, Xavier, Kent, Divina, Yoko, and Ajax." She motions for me too look at the book, "The other half of the picture." 

I look at it to see her with a man, "A pilgrim with a staff. Why are you sharing an apocalypse with a pilgrim?" I look at her. 

"I want to know that too. This investigation is everywhere. Rowan raising from the dead, the monster, and this book." She huffs. 

"We'll figure it out. Also Enid is slightly upset you didn't show up to hangout with us girls to celebrate." I leave the room.

~

Outreach Day came and I was hoping to have to work at the Weathervane so I can hangout with Tyler. As the adults pass them out Enid opens hers first, "Yes! I got Pilgrim World. I do have a natural people skills and a love of performing, so it's kind of the obvi choice. What's you two get?" She asks us. 

"Uriah's Heap, whatever that is." Wednesday opens hers making Enid make a face, 

"It's this weird, creepy antique store. You'll love it though. Valentine?" She looks at me.

 "The Weathervane." I smile. 

"You get to work with your Normie. I'm crossing my claws Ajax and I will be outreaching together." She smiles over at him and I see Xavier annoyed and hear he got the same as me. 

"Great... Just great." I throw my head back not wanting to deal with him about Tyler all day.

When we get to the town we had to listen to the mayor, "Welcome, welcome, Nevermore Academy. Now, on behalf of the entire Jericho community, we are so, so pleased to have you all here today. Your generosity and hard work are truly... outreachous!" He laughs but I just stare at him. 

"Okay, everyone. We'll see you back here at one o'clock for lunch. Enjoy!" Weems dismisses us. 

As I head to work I hear Wednesday and Enid trading making me laugh because she would be with Ajax. "Oh Mr. Galpin... I'm here for my outreach job." I walk up to the counter. 

"Then let me show you the uniforms so you can find your size." He walks to the back and I follow him. "I was hoping you'd get this job." He says as I look for my size. 

"I was hoping too and I did. But also Xavier has it." I make his smile drop, "I know. I'm gonna go change to work." I leave to go to the bathroom.

When I come back I see Tyler was annoyed, "How are you friends with him?" He asks giving me a look. 

"I'm asking myself that lately." I agree with him. 

"Not trying to start anything... but you said you were going to keep being just our friend until you know things and your own feelings. So does that mean you really don't know how you feel about him?" He asks as I get behind the counter with him. 

"He's still my friend but he's missing something." I don't look at him. 

"Am I missing something as well?" He steps to stand next to me causing me to look up at him. 

"I'd like to order." Ms. Thornhill speaks up making us look at her. 

"Of course, Ms. Thornhill, what can I get you?" I ask her. 

"A matcha latte with this doughnut." She points at one. 

"I'll bring it when Tyler helps me figure out how to make that." I make her laugh.

As he shows me exactly what to do Xavier joins us. "Didn't know you were working here." He eyes me. 

"Didn't ask me. Now excuse me, I'm learning." I pay attention to Tyler. 

"There you, got it." Tyler gives me a smile so I take Thornhill her order and see her give Tyler a look as he was focused on something else. I was confused but let it go going back to work. 

"What if I do all your work for you? You take orders and take them... and I'll make them for you?" Tyler tilts his head with a smile. 

"Deal." We shake on it.

"I don't like the way he looks at you." Xavier comes up to me after some time as I clean a table. 

"What?" I stand up straight to face him. 

"While you work, Tyler watches you." He steps closer to me. 

"Well for you to know that you have to watch him and me. That's odd." I finish the table before facing him, "Please just stop." I walk away from him going to the back to breathe. 

I close my eyes letting out a breath then breathe in and out. I do this a few times before I feel someone rub up and down my arms. "Why are you touching me Tyler?" I open my eyes to see him in front of me. 

"How did you know it was me?" He smiles. 

"Xavier knows not to touch me... and I know your cologne." I add making him smile more. 

"You know me by smell..." He chuckles, "Just ignore him, Valentine. I know it's hard especially when you're friends with him." He rubs my arms again.

"Maybe coming to Nevermore was bad for me... I hate this new me. I miss the old me. Me before all of this would have done something terrible to Xavier by now. I hate feeling things." I start to feel my eyes tear up. 

"Hey, it's okay. Feeling things are apart of life." Tyler pulls me into his chest to rub my back. 

I was so frustrated in my head I let him hold me as I rest my head on his chest. As soon as I feel a tear roll down my cheek, I knew I have screwed my life up. The counter bell rings making Tyler pull me back some to look at me. 

"I'll help you get through this new journey in your life but don't cry over it." He wipes my tear away. 

"We have work to get back to." He walks out and I follow to see Wednesday.

Last: Conflicted | Next: Returned the Favor

I was to meet my parents and Wednesday then take them to Weems. As I see our car pull up I start to get excited to see my family again because it's been so long. "My midnight." My dad rushes over to give me a hug and I hug him back. "Look at you. You're not as dull in the face." He cups my face making me laugh, 

"Nope." I give him a smile. 

"Valentine, my dear." My mother gives me a hug now. 

"Mother." I hug her back. "Has things been still going well for you?" She asks placing her hands in my shoulders. 

"Nevermore is still perfect." I let her know. "Pugsley is going to wait in the car while we go to Weems. So you can see him after words." She lets me know. 

"Sister." Wednesday says in her cold tone. 

"I've missed your cold soul." I give her a smile before leading them to the office.

"Hello, again Morticia." Weems says as we all come in. 

"Valentine, you're welcome to stay in here with your family." Weems lets me know so I stand next to my mother as she sits. "Wednesday is certainly a unique name. I'm guessing it was the day of the week you were born?" Weems asks her. 

"I was born Friday the 13th. Valentine and I are twins." Wednesday tells her. 

"Her name comes from a line from my favorite nursery rhyme, Wednesday's child is full of woe." Our mother explains her name. 

"You always had a unique perspective in the world, Morticia. Did your mother tell you we were roommates back in the day?" Weems tells her and I didn't even know that. That really helps with her not like our mother. 

"And you graduated with your sanity intact? Impressive."

"You've certainly had a very interesting educational journey. Eight schools in five years. Catching up to your sister I see." Weems looks at her paper. 

"Yes. They haven't built one strong enough to hold me. I bet this place won't be any different." Wednesday tells her. 

"What our daughter is trying to say is that she greatly appreciates the opportunity. I'm sure she will learn to love Nevermore like her sister." Our father tells Weems. 

She goes to say they don't usually accept students mid-term but Wednesday is an exception. "Larissa, and Wednesday's therapy sessions, court orders as well... Will she's see the same person as Valentine?" Mother asks. 

"Yes. Two days a week as well." Weems lets her know. 

"Did you hear that, my little storm cloud? You're in excellent hands." Father tells her. 

"We'll see is she survives the first session."

Weems glances at me before signing, "I've assigned you to your mother's old dorm. Ophelia Hall, just like your sister." Weems tells Wednesday. 

"Refresh my memory. Ophelia's the one who kills herself after being driven mad by her family, correct?" Wednesday looks at our mother who nods her head with a smile. 

"Should we go meet your new roommate?" Weems smiles and we all follow her. 

When we get to the room the three were disgusted by the colors Enid had up. "It's so... vivid." Father eyes the room.

"Howdy, roomie." Enid comes over excited. 

"Wednesday, this is Enid Sinclair." Weems introduces her. 

"You feeling okay? You look a little pale." Enid says worried. 

"She always looks half dead. More than me." I laugh. 

"Right, you're sister. Welcome to Ophelia Hall." She tries to hug Wednesday but she backs up, Not a hugger. Got it." She nods her head. 

"Please excuse Wednesday. She's allergic to color." Our mother tells her. 

"Oh, wow. What happens to you?" Enid asks. 

"I break out into hives and then the flesh peels off my bones." Wednesday says making her make a face. 

"Luckily. We've special ordered your uniform like your sister." Weems smiles at Wednesday.

"Enid, please take Wednesday to the registrar's office to pick it up along with her schedule. And give her a tour along the way." Weems says so Wednesday turns to leave and Enid skips behind her pulling me to go with them. 

"Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us. Outcast, freaks, monsters, fill in your favorite marginalized group here." Enid says as we walk through the school. 

"You can save sanitized sales pitch. I don't plan on staying here for long like my weak sister." Wednesday tells her glancing at me. 

"Oh, I'm weak for staying here? I'm not sorry I actually found a place where I feel comfortable for once outside of home." I roll my eyes at her. 

"Our parents have been looking for and excuse to send us here. It's all a part of their nefarious, yet completely obvious plan to turn us into a version of themselves. I won't give in like the weaker twin." Wednesday eyes me.

"In that case, perhaps you can clear something up. Rumor's been swirling around that you killed a kid at your old school, and your parents pulled strings to get you off." Enid says as we walk again. 

"Actually, it was two kids, but who's counting." Wednesday walks ahead. 

"You sisters scare me at times." Enid looks at me because we follow. "Welcome to the quad." Enid smiles. 

"It's a pentagon."

Enid just looks at her, "The whole snarky Goth girl thing might have worked at normie school, but here things are different. Let me give you a wiki on Nevermore's social scene." Enid walks and gives her the run down.

"I'm guessing Scales are sirens?" Wednesday looks over at the three. 

"You catch on quick. And that girl, Bianca Barclay, is the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty. Although her crown's been slipping lately. Thanks to your sister. She used to date our resident torturer artist, Xavier Thorpe. But they broke up at the beginning of the semester. Reason unknown." Enid says then looks at me. 

"I'm still not telling why they broke up." I say making her huff before talking about her vlog is the source for gossip.

"Yo, Enid! You're or not gonna believe the dirt I heard about your new roommate. She eats human flesh. Totally chowed down that kid she murdered. You better watch your back. And you got competition, Valentine to be the most creepiest." Ajax show up so Enid steps out of the way to show Wednesday. 

"Quite the contrary. I actually fillet the bodies of my victims, then feed them to my menagerie of pets." She says making him frozen. 

"Ajax, this is my new roommate, Wednesday. Valentine's sister." Enid smiles.

"Wow. So you're whole family is black and white like a living Instagram filter." He stares at us. 

"I'll give you a second to walk away." I stare him down so he turns to leave. "I'm going to go see our dear bother." I rush off.

"Valentine!" Pugsley rushes over wrapping his arms around me. 

"How have you been?" I hug him back. 

"Not the best. Still picked on. That's why Wednesday is here now. She put piranhas in the swimming pool." He lets me know what she did. 

"Not a bad idea." I nod my head with her decision. 

"Val, dear." Mother motions for me so I go over to her. "Please, keep an eye on your sister. She will try to run away from this school. I'm hoping Nevermore can help her like it did with you. I can tell you've changed finding yourself even more." She take my hand into hers. 

"I promise to watch out for her. She's already called me weak for staying here but I really love it here." I say making her smile. 

"I love hearing that." She smiles more. 

"I love you, mother." We do air kisses before I tell father and Pugsley goodbye.

-

As I go in I pass Wednesday going out to our family. I go back out to the quad going over to Xavier, "Not bad." I joke with him. 

"Now you want to talk to me after walking away from our conversation yesterday?" He continues to work. 

"I'm going to keep being just yours and Tyler's friend until l know things and my own feelings." I explain making him stop to look at me, "I'm not good at understanding myself when it comes to feelings. Others it's easier because it's like reading a book but I'm unreadable." I lean against the wall next to where he was working, "I'm not used to them. Especially those kinds so I would appreciate it we keep being friends." I mess with my fingers as I look at him through my eyelashes.

He mimics my stance doing the same next to me, "Whatever makes you comfortable, V." He gives me a smile. 

"Thanks." I give him one back. 

"I heard your sister is starting today." He goes back to working. 

"She's here already. Saying goodbye to our parents right now. Not very happy to be here. I promised to keep an eye on her so she doesn't run away." I watch him work. 

"Good luck with that." He chuckles. 

"I might not even try." I laugh standing up straight. 

"Wanna contribute to this? Might finish it faster." He motions to the tools. 

"Are you serious?" I ask surprised. 

"Get your ass over here and help me." He chuckles so I join him.

After some time later in the day, I go to check on Wednesday to see how she's settling in. "Enid, gonna be upset." I see her removing the color from her side of the room in the window. 

"It's my half so I don't care." She continues to scrap. 

"Why are you so against giving Nevermore a try?" I sit on her bed. 

"Because I refuse to be someone they want me to become. You fell into the trap, sis. Look at you. You look slightly more alive instead of half dead like you used to. Growing up you've always wanted to give this a place a look from stories while I never cared." She gets up turning to face me. 

"I've change, I know that. I've come to realize that over time because of feelings." I admit that. 

"See, feelings. You barley used to have any unless it came to family. I refuse to become like you and mother. We have our similarities being twins, but you've always been like mother in some way. It's developing more being here." She crosses her arms at me.

"I don't care if you try running away. I promised to keep an eye on you but I know my own sister, my twin to be exact. I know you don't want to be here. I know you don't want to be like our mother. And I'm not going to force you to change or stay here. I'll do what I can to help you try to get away. I'll do anything for family remember. Especially you, Wednesday." I tell her meaning it all.

"At least you haven't turned into an entirely new person." She smiles some before Enid comes in asking what did she do. 

"That's my cue to go. Night Sis, night Enid." I leave their room.

8. Making Enemies | 10. Festival

On the way ride back to a school I could tell Weems wasn't happy just by her facial expressions. "Your first day and you're already on Sheriff's Galpin's radar. Wish I could say I was surprised. Now, Valentine, you have been doing great for months. Why start to act up when your sister arrives?" Weems sighs. 

"I was standing up for my sister. And what did he mean about our father?" I ask because I knew he wasn't capable of that. 

"I have no idea, but I have a word of advice for you Miss Wednesday. Stop making enemies and start making a few friends. You're gonna need them." She tells Wednesday before we pass an accident and Wednesday says the man broke his neck.

"Miss Valentine." Weems stops me as we arrive at school. 

"Yes?" I walk over to her as Wednesday leaves. 

"Did you know your sister was going to make a run for it?" She watches me. 

"I had a feeling because I know how she is but when she came into the café she told me it ended early and you were busy on the phone." I lie to her. 

"And you believed her?" She crosses her arms. 

"Well we normally don't lie to each other. This was the first time." I tell the truth but also lie to her. 

"Valentine, please don't go getting in trouble with your sister. I understand she is your sister but you've been going so good here. I have big hopes for you." She sighs so I nod my head before going to my room to change out of my uniform into something comfortable.

Bored after some hours of reading in my room, I end up going to Wednesday and Enid's dorm room to see Wednesday talking to Thing, "When did you catch him? I caught him outside the nurses." I laugh walking over to her bed. 

"When I was writing I felt him spying on me." She glares at him. 

"There's no way father killed someone. If he did it on purpose he would have told us that as a bedtime story." I change the topic. 

"I know that's why I want to know what the sheriff meant. I want to know whole story." She sighs.

"Val, Xavier wants you in the quad." Enid pops her head into the room. 

"He would've just text or call me? Plus it's dark out." I ask her confused. 

"I don't know. Just go to the boy. I gonna go do some homework with Yoko." She leaves in a rush. 

"These people kill me." I get up groaning. 

"You choose to make friends." Wednesday tells me. 

"I know that." I leave her room going down to the quad. 

On the way there I bump into Rowan as he was in a hurry and end up getting a vision of him looking for a book in a library I haven't seen. I watch him rushing away confusing me why I would get that vision. Letting out a breath of air I continue my way outside to see Xavier working on his art he hasn't finished yet.

"Enid, said you wanted me." I walk up behind him so he turns to look at me, 

"Enid said that?" He ask bringing his brows together. 

"Yeah, I was with Wednesday and she piped her head into the room saying you wanted me in the quad." I tell him exactly what she told me. 

"I haven't spoken to her today." He laughs still confused and I get what she was trying to do. 

"I swear... I'm going to do something when she's sleeping." I huff shaking my head. 

"If I needed you I would have text or called you." He turns back to his work. 

"That's what I said but she said just go to you." I lean against the wall watching him. 

"If you knew that why did you still come?" He glances over smiling at me. 

"I don't know..." I shrug my shoulders, "I hear a friend needs me so I go."

"Well I don't need you but you're welcome to stay and watch me paint." He smiles and I can't help but smile. I loved his smile with his dimples. Oh my, did I really just say that to myself? "Has Rowen been acting odd lately? I just bumped into him. He seemed in a rush." I ask curious and I notice his body language. 

"Umm, yeah. A little. He won't talk to me about it." He makes sure not to look at me so I focus on him. "Please don't ask me anymore. It's hard not to tell you the whole truth. I hate lying to you." I hear him talk to himself. 

"You wouldn't lie to me right?" I cross my arms watching him. 

"Why would I lie to you?" He awkwardly chuckles. 

"I don't know it just seems like you are with your body language and the way you sound." I say so he turns to face me.

"I'm telling you the truth. He wouldn't talk about it to me when I ask what's up. He starts to get annoyed then raises his voice at me." He sighs and I could tell he was telling some of the truth so I just drop it. He goes back to painting and I sit on the ground leaning against the wall watching. 

Soon I start to zone out going into my own thoughts. What did I feel for theses stupid boys? Both are great friends and I connect with both but which one do I connect with the most? Xavier and I have things in common but so do Tyler and I in a different way. If or when I ever choose one how will my relationship be with the other? How will I know if I don't try see with each? How? How? How? How? I let out a groan making Xavier ask what's wrong. 

"Huh, just thinking."

"About what?" He keeps painting. 

"Me, my thoughts." I close my eyes letting out a sigh. 

"Tyler probably." I hear his thoughts. 

"Will you shut up about Tyler?" I get annoyed. 

"What?" He looks at me confused. "It's been months so get used to it. He's my friend whether you like it or not." I get up off the ground. 

"Why are you suddenly being up his name?" He looks at me like I was crazy. 

"Because you did first. Tyler probably. Yeah you kinda said that out loud." I lie to him. 

"I did? I thought I said that in my head." He looked lost. 

"Well you didn't." I kinda gaslight him so he doesn't know my new power.

"Valentine, what do you even see in him? Even as just a friend." He turns to face me annoyed. 

"I see a lonely person. Someone people don't understand. Being someone who most don't understand as well, I see someone I can talk to. And besides all that, he's a good friend to me. He's only ever been kind to me." I explain to him and he rolls his eyes. "You know, Xavier... You aren't helping yourself in any way acting like this. We butt heads over something stupid so I can't imagine us a serious situation." I eye him walking off done with him.

As I walk into my dorm Enid was getting ready to leave, "I swear I'm going to do something when you're sleeping you liar." I give her a glare. 

"Did you come in angry because of me or did something?" She asks me. 

"Both. He brought up Tyler again when I told him to shut up about him." I lay down on my bed. 

"He's just jelly." She says leaving the room. 

"Boys are complicated. That's why I don't deal with them." Yoko speaks up. 

"You and Divina are complicated at times..." I look over at her. 

"I said boys! Don't bring up me." She turns to face me causing me to laugh.

-

For my Wednesday session with Dr. Kinbott she makes me talk about how it is with Wednesday being at Nevermore the entire time. "See you on Sunday, Valentine." She opens the door for me to leave. 

"Valentine." I hear the Sheriff's voice as I make it outside the building. 

"Sheriff?" I look up at him. 

"I'm still going to keep an eye on you and your sister but I kinda know how you are from being here for long so just don't act up again. Especially with the Mayor's son." He gives me a look. 

"Again, I jumped in to stand up for my sister but I understand." I give him a head nod. 

"Tyler's on his fifteen. Thought you'd liked to know since you two are.. like... friends." He heads off so I head over to the café.

I see him sitting in a booth with his back facing the door, "Shit... no. No...no! Damn it!" I hear him thinking to himself so I walk over sitting across from him. 

"I ran into you dad." I startle him taking my seat. 

"What did he say?" He groans. 

"Just that he's still keeping an eye on me but since he sorta knows me just stay out of trouble. And that I'd might like to know you're on your break." I sum it up. 

"He let you know about me?" He gives me a funny confused look. 

"Yep, since we're... like... friends." I tell him how his dad said it.

"Like... friends? We are friends." He laughs, "You know, I thought you were mad at me because you haven't answered any of my text since Monday." His eyes scan my face. 

"No, no. I'm not mad at you. I muted everyone because of Xavier. He pissed me off and started to try to apologize." I shake my head then rest my chin on my right arm propped up. 

"Me?" He sighs so I hum a yes. "He needs to get over it. We've been friends for months." He rolls his eyes. 

"Asked what do I see in you? Even as just a friend." I look down at the table. 

"And you said?"

"I see a lonely person. Someone people don't understand. Being someone who most don't understand as well, I see someone I can talk to. And besides all that, he's a good friend to me. He's only ever been kind to me." I look up to make eye contact with him.

"You make this so difficult... You're killing me." Tyler thinks to himself as he stares at me making me smile. "What" He chuckles. 

"That stupid look in your eyes." I roll mine. 

"Why you staring into my eyes?" He starts to smile. 

"Where else am I supposed to look when talking to someone?" I tilt my head. 

"Why are you smiling so much?" He laughs more so I shake my head. "I thought we can talk to each other?" He leans onto the table. 

"You're gonna make fun of me or think something different than what I mean." I whine. 

"Tell me." He playfully kicks me under the table.

"I'm saying this as a friend, I love your smile and your eyes. Sometimes they get this like little twinkle." I explain getting embarrassed. 

"Saying this as a friend and when I first met you, I love your smile too. I could tell how genuine they are compared to the fake ones. The fake ones are nice too though."

"Are you going to the Harvest Festival this weekend? For us Nevermore students it's mandatory." I changed the topic. 

"I wasn't thinking about going but now I might have a reason to go." He says with a smile. 

"Well hopefully you make an appearance. Even if it's just for a second." I get up seeing my ride pull up. 

"Hey, try not to ignore my texts." He says as I start to walk out. 

"Can't make a promise." I send him a wink leaving.

15. Asking.. | 17. Under Arrest

The day of the Rave'N, I spend time with some of the girls and get ready alone with it was time for the dance. "Coming." I say going towards the door opening it to see Xavier smiling as he eyes me head to toe.

"It's very you." He says as I come out of the room to join him in the hall. 

"Thank you. I love what my mother picked out." I mess with my dress. 

"You look beautiful." He puts his arm out for me to link mine with his. 

"Just this one." I link my arm with him as we walk to the dance. Everyone we passed would stare at me and said I looked great which surprisingly I liked. 

"What's Wednesday's plans tonight?" He asks me. 

"Her and Eugene are spying out the monster's lair." I tell him having no idea her plans changed last night when I said I was still going with Xavier.

"You look gorgeous. So gorgeous!" Ms. Thornhill says as Xavier and I head inside the dance. "Welcome to this year's Rave'N." She smiles. 

"Welcome to the Rave'N. You look amazing, Valentine. Glad you decided to join the fun." Weems smiles as we enter the dance. 

"Thanks." I give her a smile back then stop when out of view. 

"Done with the act?" Xavier laughs as I remove my arm from him. 

"Yes." I look around at the decorations, "White is a choice..." I chuckle. 

"Look at you!" Enid rushes over to me, "I love it. You look amazing!" She claps her hands.

 "You look amazing too. I love the jewels." I give her a genuine smile. 

"Thank you. Enjoy yourselves." She goes back over to Lucas.

"Well look at you." Ajax walks over to us with his date. 

I grab him by the arm roughly and pull him away from his date and Xavier. "Ouch. You're going to rip my arm off." He groans. 

"Why did you stand Enid up? You're lucky I didn't go looking for you to breaking a limb for breaking her heart." I glare at him. 

"I didn't stand her up... I sorta stoned myself while in the shower. I was embarrassed so I've been ignoring her." He sighs looking over at her. 

"Embarrassed? She would understand if you took the time to go talk to her and explain what happened. Instead you did the worst thing you could do. I don't normally care for others feelings but Enid is an exception. Explain to her and apologize or I will, and I mean it, will rip your snakes out of your head." I stare him down. 

"I will. I promise." He tells me and I believe so we go back to our dates.

"I got you a drink." Xavier smiles as I sit at the table with him. 

"Thank you." I look over at Enid looking a little sad.

 "You threaten Ajax?" Xavier laughs. 

"I did. Said if he doesn't apologize and explain everything, I'll rip his snakes out of his head." I mess with my drink. 

"Damn, that's a bit much don't you think?" He tilts his head. 

"No. I've tried killing someone's remember. That's why I'm here at this school." I remind him. 

"I forgot you used to do terrible things." He nods his head. "I'm glad to be here with you." He adds as I look around again. 

"It's not as bad as I thought." I make him laugh. 

"Let's have some fun." He stands up putting his hand out to me.

"Yo, check it out. Wednesday totally busted out of her cocoon." Ajax comes over motioning at her coming in with Tyler. 

"What the? Excuse me." I get up going over to her as she goes to the punch bowl. "I thought you were going to spy on the cave with Eugene. Yet here you are with Tyler..." I tilt my head confused. 

"Change of plans. When I heard you were still coming with the potential monster, I had Thing take an invite to Tyler. He also stole this dress for me." She explains to me. 

"Why ask Tyler though?" I look over at him standing alone awkwardly. 

"Because you like him, he likes you, and Xavier hates him." She explains to me. "Go talk to him. I brought him here for you." She tells me so I go over to him.

"Look at you." I walk up beside him making him turn to face me. 

"Wow, you look... beautiful." He smiles. 

"Thank you." I smile back. 

"Your date is looking at us." He looks over at Xavier with Wednesday before they walk off some. 

"Who cares. I told him I didn't want to ask him originally but I'll still come with him." I explain to him. 

"Can I show you something?" He motions out of the room. 

"Sure." He takes my hand leading us out of the dance to the trophy case.

"See that woman right there?" He points at one of the girls in the fencing photo. 

"Yeah?" I look at him confused. 

"That's my mother." He looks at me. 

"She came to Nevermore?" I turn my whole body to face him. 

"Yeah, I found that out looking through files. My father kept it from me." He sighs. 

"She's pretty. I see where you get your good looks from." I look back at the photo, "That's my mother." I point at my mom. 

"I see where you get your beauty from." I see him smile down at me. 

"Thank you." I look up at him. "Sorry, you don't know much about your mother. It must be hell. Especially when your father never wants to talk about her." I look back at the photo. "It is. Makes me feel alone." He sighs looking at his mother so I take his hand into mine. "I'm glad you felt comfortable with sharing this information with me." I squeeze his hand. 

"You're the only one I would tell this too." He squeezes my hand back. 

"Why did you agree to come with Wednesday?" I ask letting go of his hand walking backwards making him turn to face me. 

"To see you and hopeful to talk to you.. About the other day, I'm sorry. It's like I said, you make me feel like I'm losing my mind as well." He looks down at the floor. 

"You don't have to apologize. I understand that it could be confusing for you since I don't know things compared to most people. But I'm getting there, I think, to understanding my feelings." I let him know.

"We should go back before Xavier thinks I kidnapped you." Tyler makes me laugh agreeing. 

"Xavier told me what you did last year." Wednesday speaks up as we walk back to the dance outside the entrance. I look at Tyler and leave him to explain to her while I go find Xavier. 

"Where did you two run off to?" Xavier eyes me rudely.

 "Just a walk and talk. I was curious why she asked him and why he said yes." I kinda tell the truth. 

"Was his answer she wanted to keep an eye on you with me, and he wanted to see you too and piss me off?" He says annoyed. 

"Are you going to keep this attitude all night now that they're here?" I cross my arms. 

"Depends if they try to ruin our night." He rolls his eyes. 

"Well you're ruining our night right now. We're all supposed to have fun with each other. Wednesday is my sister and Tyler is my friend."

I watch the two come back in and go to the dance floor and I could tell Xavier wasn't going to leave this table at all. Wednesday sees me looking at her annoyed so she walks over pulling me out of my seat to join her and Tyler. 

"If I have to be here, you will enjoy this stupid dance." She says making me smile and we dance together while Tyler watches us. 

"Get in to it." I grabbing Tyler's hands making him dance with us while Kent, Divina, Ajax, Yoko and Enid joined us letting loose. "There you go." I laugh as he moves his body to the music. 

Enid grabs my shoulder and we dance together laughing. "He can't take his eyes off of you." She whispers to me then bumps me towards Tyler.

I end up going to take a break and see Bianca sitting alone, "Why aren't you with Divina and Kent on the dance floor?" I sit next to her. 

"I went to go check on Xavier because he was alone at the table. We had a tiff about you." She looks at me. 

"Why?" I ask confused. 

"He wanted me to use my powers to forget about you." She looks away from me. 

"That's funny coming from him since apparently you were using your powers when you two were together. For the record, I don't believe you ever did. I could tell you really liked him. Xavier's just a stupid teenage boy." I make her look back over to me. 

"You're lucky." She says making me tilt my head, "You don't care what people think of you." She sighs. 

"Actually, I think I do now and that scares me. I'm not used to caring." I sigh getting up going back. "Are you done whining?" I walk up to Xavier. 

"I don't want to interrupt your fun with everyone and Tyler." He gives me a rude smile. 

"Are you serious? I said I would still come with you if you wanted me to but you haven't left this table all night." I walk away from him and he grabs my wrist pulling me closer to him. "If you kiss me again, I will smack you so hard you'll feel the sting for months." I get myself free and going to Tyler. "Where's my sister." I ask him. 

"Went out for a second." He looks around. "Where's Xavier?" He asks. 

"Being grumpy still because I'm having  fun with you." I roll my eyes. 

"Maybe he should have joined so you'd have fun with him as well."

"It wouldn't be the same." I say making him lock eyes with me. 

We didn't even notice Wednesday join us and everyone else for the last song. "It's the last song come on." Enid shakes me to dance before joining the others. 

"Come on." I sing trying to make Wednesday and Tyler to dance with me but they don't just staring at me. 

Wednesday and I notice something drip on Tyler's shoulder and we see red. He looks at well then up before the sprinkler go off raining red. "Thank god I didn't wear white." I laugh as everyone runs. 

"They couldn't even spring for real pigs' blood. It's only paint." Wednesday tells us. Someone bumps into me and I almost fall and lose Tyler as people run around more. 

"Wednesday! Are you okay?" Thornhill asks as she has a vision. 

"Eugene is in the woods. He's in danger." Wednesday says making us run off to find him.

We run for through the woods shouting for Eugene and finally hear him so we run towards his voice then his screams. We end up finding his bloody body laying down on the ground. "No." We get down next to him and I get a vision of him laying in a hospital bed recovering. "He's still alive. My vision was him at the hospital. He's not dead." I let her know and I see some relief on her face. 

"Oh my god. Is he alive?" Thornhill randomly runs up to us. 

"If we get him to the hospital he'll stay alive." I tell her.
