A Woe Filled Confession ( Wednesday x Xavier )

Chapter 8: Three Is Better Than Woe

"Well.. There's one thing for certain that you should know about him, one thing that will help us out.. a lot.." He spoke, Leaving Enid and I puzzled to say the least "Vincent is a strange guy.. you see, Xavier has only mentioned it to me once, but you can tell depending on what.. version of him you're talking to.. He has DID.. dissociative identity disorder. Essentially, there's more than one personality residing inside him? Except Vincent.. well he's a strange case." He mumbled, pausing to look around in a somewhat strange manor..

"Go on?" I said, glaring at him.. suddenly he rose, suggesting that I sit down instead, as I guess it's his turn to explain things to us both.
"With DID, the idea is.. you have different identities, different personalities, it's almost as if their is two or more people trapped inside and residing in one body. Vincent, has three personas so to speak.. The one that goes to work, press meetings and is the front and center of the fame he has developed. Then there's the father figure, the one that tries his best to be a role model for Xavier, the one that you most likely spoke to the other day.. he's very frantic, an anxious type, always worrying about Xavier and everything in general. That side cares, a lot.. Then.. there's the last one.." He muttered, mimicking my movements, pacing up and down my bedroom leaving a creek in the floorboards every step he took.. He turned to glance at me, immediately avoiding eye contact he continued..

"The last one, is violent. The only thing I've heard from Xavier about this side of him is that, it's controlling, obsessive. It has darker thoughts, more intense thoughts.. but it carries out these thoughts, unlike the parental side, who may have the thoughts and express them.. but doesn't carry anything out as he is too anxious. This side of Vincent is mysterious so to speak.. He may vanish from the house at midnight, assuming Xavier is asleep, locking him in his bedroom just in case? Shutting every door in the household, telling Xavier not to leave his room, and not to enter a single other room.. or he'll know? It's creepy really, it gives me the chills.." Ajax finished, looking at me with concerned and disgusted eyes. How strange, he did seem very frantic that day, and from things that I've read when it comes to texts, he seems totally different..

"The lock and key?" I muttered, recalling back to the lock and key I found on a shelf in one of those rooms in his house..
"I found a lock and key, in his house.." I said, rising to face stare at Ajax face to face.. Enid quickly rose also..

"Is that what he uses to lock Xavier away?" Enid questioned.. "I doubt a small lock would keep someone like Xavier inside his room although? You know him Ajax, the amount of times he's snuck out to go out with you and your friends somewhere, he can clearly get out right?" She finished..

"None of the inside doors have locks on them, accept Vincent's bedroom and the office downstairs. He has multiple locks and keys to shut any room he wants at any given time.." Ajax informed. "Atleast that's what Xavier said, he said that the controlling side of him has to shut every door at a certain time, almost as if it has OCD, when it shuts them, it locks them. When it comes back, it unlocks them, goes to sleep and then wakes up as a different person completely.." he finished, leaving me puzzled to say the least.

In terms of suspects, Vincent is now at the top of the list, with this new found information, Wednesday, Ajax and Enid all left the Addams family house to pursue this weirdness. As much as she wouldn't admit it to their faces, she was glad Ajax and Enid were with her, after all, three heads are better than one. Unless you're talking about Cerberus, or a Hydra then that would be an issue. In terms of what they're going to do? Now that is a good question.. after all, something somewhere happened at this exact moment. Although Wednesday ideally wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, she had two people with her.. two of his friends, they had to see him first.

"Where are we going first Wednesday?" Enid mumbled to me whilst leaning on Ajax's shoulder in the back of the car Lerch was once more driving, sorry Lerch, you've done far too much for us lately. Anyways..
"To see Xavier." I said simply.. Ajax looked at me, with a mix of sorrow and gratitude, he merely smiled, as Enid did also..
"Thank you.." Enid spoke, looking up at Ajax with almost teary filled eyes, they hadn't even seen him yet. Why were they already crying?
Either way.. they deserved to see him.
