Dark journey ( Xavier Thorpe )

03. Xaviers 'heroic' action

I woke up earlier than Wednesday but of course she felt my awaken presence and woke up. Yesterday I had caught thing lurking around trying to spy on us and decided I would deal with it later.

"Ready for fencing?" I asked in my usual cold tone and Wednesday just nodded not feeling the will to talk.

We both walk down in our unique black uniforms as were both allergic to colour.

We walk in and see one and only Bianca. The one that hates us both. I smirk at what is about to happen.

"Coach, Coach she tripped me" Rowan said.
"It was a clean strike rowan" the coach said looking disappointed with rowan. "Maybe if you whined less, and practiced more you wouldn't suck". Bianca spoke satisfied with her answer.

"Seriously coach, when am I going to get some real competition, anyone else wanna challenge me?" Bianca said.

"I do" me and Wednesday spoke once again in sync. "Ooh you both must be the psychopaths they let in". "If you're talking about yourself then I think that everyone agrees with you" I snarled at her while she gave me a dirty look.

"Ill play with goth one, first" she said pointing to Wednesday. "Ill keep the snarly one for last".

I smirked at her and stood by the coach waiting for my turn and watched  Wednesday play against her hoping she would win.

They had agreed no helmets and drawing first blood much to my liking  thats the way i was trained.

After a while of fighting Bianca won drawing first blood on Wednesday. Wednesday gave me an evil look telling me not to lose.

I walked over to Bianca and started fighting. I couldn't lie she was good. But i will always be better.

I saw an open spot and took it drawing first blood. I looked at her a dirty look in my eyes. While she returned it from obviously never losing before. I haven't lost ever and I'm planning on keeping it that way.

I was now waiting in the medical wing waiting for  Wednesday to wake up. She had apparently almost gotten hit by a stone of some sort and Xavier saved her and she fainted. Thats what I had been told so now I was waiting next to her sitting perfectly fine whilst Xavier sat opposite me not taking his eyes off of Wednesday.

I could tell he was nervous, his leg bouncing and him biting his nails in frustration. It was kind of funny. Shows he didnt take my advice.

"Welcome back" this brought me out of my thoughts and I saw Xavier standing above Wednesday.

Wednesday sat up suddenly which caused Xavier to sit down. "Take it easy Wednesday" I spoke in a cold tone not looking at her but looking at my nails. Xavier stared at me for a long time before looking back at Wednesday.

"Nurse said you dont have a concussion, but you probably have a nasty bump huh?". "Last thing I remember was I was walking outside feeling a mixture of rage, pity and self-disgust". Wednesday spoke, her voice softer than usual.

I stared at her in disbelief . "Wednesday do you not remember our words, emotion equals weakness".

They both stared at me. "Ive never felt that way before" She said looking at me. "And I was hoping it would stay that way" I said.
"Loosing to Bianca has that affect on people" Xavier spoke while I glared at him.

"Then I remember walking out and seeing a gargoyle coming down, at least id have an imaginative death, but you tackled me out of the way, Why?" Wednesday said now turning to look at Xavier.

"Call it instinct".

I ignored a bit of their conversation but when I heard "lets just say I returned the favour" This had perked my interest.

I listened intently. "Xavier thorpe?". "Lets just say last time we met I was about two feet shorter and 40 pounds heavier" He said his eyes flickering to me.

"What happened" Wednesday asked. "Puberty I guess" Xavier said whilst I scoffed to myself.

"I meant what happened last time we met?".

"It was my grandmothers funeral, and we were bored so we decided to play hide and seek. I had the notorious idea to hide in my grandmothers casket". "I was stuck while it was heading to the crematorium".

"Me and Wednesday had heard muffled screams" I said now looking at him remembering what had happened.

"I had figured your grandmother had cheated death and was trying to claw her way out".
"Either way you both hit the big red stop button and stopped me from getting flame broiled so... now were even".

It was now later in the day and me and Wednesday had escaped our therapy class and now we were in a coffee shop. We had found a guy named Tyler who was willing to drive is out.

We had gotten caught by sweems so now we were driving back to Nevermore.

"The first day and you both are already on Sheriff Galpins radar, wish I could say I was surprised".

"Looks like an accident, I hope the drivers okay" sweems spoke. "He's dead, broke his neck" Me and Wednesday spoke once again in sync. "How can you tell from this angle?" She asked but we didnt respond.

I actually didnt know how I was able to tell from this angle but I somehow just knew.

Me and Wednesday now were playing a duo song with our cello's . We had just finished playing when Enid walked out. "How the hell did you both get those oversized violins out?" . "We had an extra hand" I said nodding my head towards thing. We had caught him and now he was helping us.

I walked back inside not wanting to listen to their conversation. I overheard them talking about crying. I had never cried, it was just a mere distraction that couldnt help anything so I vowed to keep it that way.

Me, Wednesday and Enid were walking in the festival waiting for tyler to arrive so we could make our great escape.

I had parted ways with Wednesday and went to the balloon area. I popped almost every balloon when I felt a presence near me. I turned around, my eyes locking with Xaviers. "Jeez you get any better at this, you'll be taking home a whole pack".

"Pandas dont travel in packs, they prefer solitude". I said looking at him while popping more balloons. "Alright, subtle hint taken" he said.

"You know for some reason I feel like you dont like me" Xavier said. "I dont like a lot of things" I responded. "Oh, so Im a thing now?, I thought I was a man" He said sarcastically. "Youre a man when I tell you youre a man" I said.

"You should know im waiting for someone". I said. "Oh yeah, whose the lucky guy, or girl?". He asked. "Whats it to you?". He looked at me staring at my eyes before turning around to someone behind me.

Wednesday and Tyler.

"Didnt mean to interrupt"Tyler spoke whilst Wednesday was looking at me. "Youre not" Xavier said walking away, taking one last look at me.

"Lets go" I said walking away as I got the worker to distract the lady. I noticed three men following us so we sped up.

Wednesday started having a vision and pulled me into it so I started seeing it aswell.

After a while we both got up and looked at eachother and saw Rowan running into the woods. We called and ran after him.

"What do you both want? Why are you following me?". "We have no time to explain but you are in danger."

He chuckled and pushed both of us against the tree strangling us. "No, youre the ones in danger".

"What are you doing?" I asked. "Its always the quiet ones" Wednesday said.

He threw a page up to me and Wednesday and I saw that it was the both of us fighting some sort of person.

He explained why he was doing everything but suddenly a monster came out of nowhere killing him...

The monster took one last look at Wednesday and ran away.
