Principal Weems Revenge (Wednesday FanFic)

Chapter 3

1994

Larissa Weems is sitting at a café, drinking a cappuccino. She's dressed in a nice creamy coloured dress with a long light blue coat and white gloves with silver jewels on them. Her blonde hair was tied tightly back whilst the red lipstick she wore stuck out.

The door opens and Erebus Oakreed walks in. Dressed in black jeans with a loose grey top and a dark blue cloak with black boots. His rigid but strong facial structure with a light beard stood out to Larissa, who immediately recognises the out of place individual.

"Erebus?"

Erebus makes eye contact with Larissa and his face warms up immediately, "Larissa?"

The two exchange warm smiles and Larissa beckons to Erebus to sit with her. Erebus agrees and joins Larissa at the table. He orders a hot chocolate with marshmallows and Larissa giggles.

"You haven't changed."

Erebus grins, "No, hot chocolate will always be my favourite."

The two fall upon a moment of silence. They have a long history together, and yet, at this moment in time, the two don't know how long the history will continue. Erebus is a druid sorcerer, who was born in Ireland and was sent to Nevermore for a chance in academic education and a place to learn about his gifts.

Unfortunately, he was cast as a loner, with many fearing his witch-craft powers. However, even though he had a few friends, two being Morticia and Larissa, he tended to keep to himself. Yet, even with all the isolation that came with being a loner, rumours were spread that he was in love with Larissa. It was no lie, but Erebus constantly denied it, wanting to avoid confrontation with a friend he held dearly to his heart.

He also knew that her heart was taken by Gomez himself. Even though Gomez had eyes for Morticia, it didn't stop Larissa from trying. And so, Erebus watched as Larissa became jealous and bitter over her roommate stealing her crush. Love was not just an issue between the two, but also academic excellence. Both excelled at what they did but Morticia's dark and mysterious aura kept her popular and loved, whilst Larissa fell back into Morticia's shadow. However, one must admit that Larissa did in fact admire Morticia and the way she carried herself.

Though Larissa didn't like to pay much attention to Erebus, he did catch her sight when he was the only one who could see her when she shape-shifts. Astounded by such a talent, Erebus explains to her that the druid's eye can see and know all when well trained. From then on, Larissa was intrigued by Erebus's presence.

After the Poe Cup, Erebus came shirtless to congratulate Larissa, it was his costume for the cup of course. Instead of thanking him, her eyes were glued to the symbol that was on his shoulder. Erebus explained that it was a triskelion. It represented three deities worshipped as one, as well as the past, the present and future. It was a symbol of strength for moving forward and overcoming adverse conditions. It was in that moment that Larissa touched it, feeling an odd but comforting sensation from it. Their eyes locked into one another's stare, and Larissa aimed for Erebus' lips and kissed him. It was that moment that the two shared their first intimate connection, but Larissa backed away, and refused to talk about it for the rest of their time there.

It had hurt Erebus, but he decided to respect her choices and kept his distance. On a fine and sunny day, Erebus took a walk into the woods and caught Gomez in an altercation with some normies. He was getting beaten up, and so Erebus came to the rescue. With his hands and mind, Erebus managed to make the normies fly right back, knocking them unconscious. Gomez thanked Erebus and told him he'll be in his debt.

"Maybe someday Gomez, I'll need your help."

And with that, the two struck a deal.

Back in the café, the two sit silently drinking their beverages.
