Prologue

A/n please don't just my writing too harshly it's been a while-

Tw!! Gore, character deaths, and wounds!

The sound of rain, sirens, and flashes of blue and red blurred my vision, I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, two figures rushed to me and I could feel pressure on my neck. I am lifted and placed into the ambulance. I slowly turn my head to see my two sisters mutilated bodies, Iris's once white hair stained red and sticking to her face or what was left of it. Zephora lay next to our mother as her lower half hung outside the windshield of our hearse. I feel an oxygen mask on my face as I slip into unconsciousness once again.

I woke up to the harsh white light in my face. A nurse walks in and smiles widely. The smile looks uncomfortably forced. "Hello dear, my name is Nurse Joy! It seems you have been in a terrible accident." she said with fake sympathy, what does she mean? I can barely remember what happened. "Cut the act, where can I contact a legal guardian or family member?" I say coldly. Sitting up, only now taking notice of the burning on my side. Joy rushes over and gently pushes me down on the bed. "You just got out of surgery dear! No need to worry, Mortica and Gomez will come and get you after two weeks, the police are here. They're gonna ask you some questions about what happened two weeks ago." she said with a sullen look. Two weeks? I was out for two weeks? What did she mean by police? I can't stay here another two weeks, whatever that was back at the road, It wasn't human. I have to get out of here.

As soon as she turned around I ripped all the appliances off of me and I got up, ignoring the searing pain in my chest and shoved her as hard as I could. I run out of the room and turn to the elevator. Joy and three other doctors rush to the elevator as it closes on them, making its way down. I look down at my bloody chest. I lift the collar of the hospital gown and assess the numerous stitched scars on my body, flashes of images of my family cross my mind, the fear and horror finally settling in. The elevator door opens to the lobby and I speed walk out, hearing the secretary call out only made me walk faster and out into the streets. The cold concrete surprisingly burns my feet and I head towards the closest family member there as of right now. Uncle Fester, Aunt Mortica and Uncle Gomez are too far away right now and I don't have a phone. I walk towards the edge of the town now seeing that I am away from civilization. Everything is just a blur to me as of now. A figure appears before me wielding a cane, I grab a dead branch nearby and try to lift it. The figure removes his hood revealing my uncle. "Oh my little cyanide filled gumdrop, I've looked everywhere for you and your siblings. Where is D/N? I heard you guys were in an accident! How many died heh?" he said smiling. I stare blankly at him as he looks down at my bloody form. "Four dead, two children, two adults, one survivor." I whispered, tears welling in my eyes as the images of Iris and Zephora came into my head. My Uncle takes me in his arms and sobs, A flash of light and the rumbling of a vehicle has me turn to see Morticia and Wednesday getting out of the car. "Morticia, she cannot stay with me, B/n...m/n..." He blubbered. My Aunt didn't say a word, she merely took me into her arms and gave me a brief hug before steering me to wednesday who stared emotionlessly at me. "Wednesday dear, take your cousin to the car while I talk to your uncle about her living arrangements." She instructed as Wednesday took my hand and led me to the car without a word.

Wednesday and I have been close since birth, seeing her for the first time in all of this mess was the last straw I guess because as soon as she closed the door and got in she took me into her arms and I screamed and cried uncontrollably, telling her what had happened.After I calmed down she let me go, she wasn't fond of affection and neither was I. "Mother is sending me to a school to make me a version of her and father. You'll have to wait till I can escape from the educational penitentiary, to talk to me again" she said glaring at her mother as she got in the car. "Actually Wednesday, y/n will be joining you to enroll in Nevermore, we figured she could use this as a way to start a new life. Your mother and I went there when we were your age y/n." she said smiling at me, great now she wants me to follow her footsteps as well. Wednesday and I shared a look, and stared back at her as she ordered lurch to take us back to their home to pack. Who knows, maybe it won't be as much of a waste of time as we think it may be.
