Dark journey ( Xavier Thorpe )

01. The Addams Family

As Friday and Wednesday sat side by side in the addams family car. Pugsley sitting up beside Lurch whilst Morticia and gomez sang Roy Orbison's ' in dreams' to one another, right across from them.

While Wednesday sat in her usual gloom, Friday sat right next to her staring out the window in disgust after seeing both her parents. both of the girls faces matched cold and as cold as you could ever be.

After kissing her husband with a smile she turned to the girls. Seeing her daughters expressions her smile faded.
"Friday, Wednesday how long do you intent to give us the cold shoulder?"

Wednesday turned to Friday. "Please remind my parents I am no longer talking to them".

This time Friday turned away from the window to face Wednesday. "No, you tell them its not my problem we both don't want to talk to them"

Wednesdays face dropped a little barely even noticeable but of course Friday saw, she sees everything.

"I promise you my little vipers, You both will love Nevermore, wont they Tish?"

"Of course they will, Its the perfect school for them both."

"Why?" The girls spoke in sync unable to stay silent. "Because it was the perfect school for you?"

Morticia sighed before turning back to the Addams girls."Maybe you can join the same clubs as—"

"We have no interest in following in your footsteps." Wednesday interrupted causing Friday to look at her. "Captain of the fencing team, Queen of the Dark Prom, President of the Séance Society—"

"I merely meant that finally you will be amongst peers who understand you." Morticia cut her off "Maybe you'll even make some new friends." Friday scoffed loud enough for the whole family to hear.

"Nevermore is like no other boarding school." Gomez interjected with a smile of his own "It's a magical place. Like Morticia said, it's where me and Tish met . Where we fell in love."

As the couple leaned in for another embrace, Wednesday halted them "You guys are making us nauseous. And not in a good way."

"Darling, we aren't the ones who got you expelled." Morticia sighed "That boy's family was going to file attempted murder charges. How would that have looked on your records?"

"Terrible." She and Friday answered in sync,
Friday already knew the next line without even having to think about it. "Everyone would know we failed to get the job done."

The family was silent as Lurch took the next left, pulling up the wrought iron gates of Nevermore Academy that creaked opened by themselves thanks to the enchantment placed upon it. They followed the winding and lead covered drive.

"At least it's turning into a beautiful day." Morticia let out a contented sigh as the rain drizzled down turning the sky a dark and impeding gloom which filled the air. just as they came to a stop in front of the grand estate that would be home to the girls until their escape plan would work

"Wednesday and Friday is certainly a unique name." Principal Weems mused as she glanced to their files "I'm guessing it was the days of the week you both were born?"

"I was born on Friday the 13th." Wednesday deadpanned.

"I was born on Wednesday the 11th." Friday continued

"Ahh close to twins" principal weems spoke with a grin that could reach the sky.

"But not." Wednesday added making that same grin falter into nothing.

"You always had a... unique perspective on the world, Morticia." Principal Weems glanced to Friday making her eyebrows lift in confusion.

The blonde looked from Friday to Morticia and back to Wednesday in surprise "Didn't your mother tell you we were roommates back in the day?."

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

Principal Weems pursed her painted lips at the awkward tension. She returned her gaze to their files "You've both certainly had a very interesting educational journey. Eight schools in five years."

"They haven't built one strong enough to hold me and Friday." Wednesday spoke "I bet this place won't be any different."

"I see." Principal Weems nodded slowly as she glanced between the pair. They were both so like their mother in different ways but it seemed that Wednesday and Friday were a lot more alike than they thought.

Gomez cleared his throat "I believe what our daughters are trying to say is that they greatly appreciate the opportunity."

"Nevermore doesn't usually accept students mid-term, but given the girls perfect grades and your family's long history with the school, I've spoken with the board and we've made an exception." Principal Weems revealed.

While the Addams couple shared a pleased look, Friday couldn't help but scowl. They were staying. Great .

"Larissa, what about the girls, um..." Morticia began, glancing to the teens "therapy sessions? The court ordered them."

"Hmm." She hummed "The school has a relationship with a therapist in Jericho. They can meet twice a week."

Gomez glanced to them happily "Did you hear that girls? You're in excellent hands."

"We'll see if she survives the first session." Wednesday retorted and Friday smirked.
She doubted they would. They never did.

I've assigned you to our old dorm," Principal Weems revealed "Ophelia Hall." "Ah!" Morticia gasped in excitement whilst Friday stared at her in disgust

Wednesday turned to the principal "Refresh my memory. Ophelia's the one who kills herself after being driven mad by her family, correct?"

While Morticia sent her a daughter a look, Principal Weems cleared her throat and got to her feet in a matter of seconds "Should we go meet your new roommate?"

Friday shared a look with Wednesday before raising an eyebrow "We get a roommate? This is torture".
