Opposites attract

Mother Mother (pt.2)

Wednesday's pov:

I set my to go shovel in the ground and begin digging while my mom stands to the side.
-"oh this reminds me of when you were six and we got you that 'My first grave robbers kit'"
She says happily.
-"you sure you don't wanna try mother?"
I ask happily digging.
-"n-no that's ok deary, I wouldn't wanna spoil your fun"
She says with slight disgust. I shrug it off until hitting the coffin.
-"gotcha!"
I say with a smile. I grab the side and open the coffin. I see his decaying body. I was right, my parents didn't kill him.
-"well well"
I hear a voice different than my mothers say. I slowly peak out from the hole I was in to see on if the cops shining a flashlight at me and my mother.
-"what do we have here?"
She says walking closer.
-"looks like there's gonna be an Addams family reunion down at the jail house tonight. Your both under arrest"
My mother raises her hands and reluctantly and annoyedly I raise mine.

Enid's pov:

It's been a while since I've seen Wednesday. Where the hell could she be!? I mean there's no way she'd be in trouble right? Not while her parents are here of course not.
...
Oh fuck she's totally in trouble. Suddenly I hear a slight knock on the door but I don't recognize it.
-"um come in?"
The door opens and Thing crawls in. What a relief. He speeds over to my bed and hands me a letter.
-"oh from Wednesday?"
I ask. He signals in agreement. The letter reads:

"Hey, probably won't be home tonight. I'm currently in jail. Do not worry though because I will be back tomorrow.
Goodnight,
Wednesday"
-"jail!?"
I exclaim as I turn to look at Thing but he's already gone. Damn it, what'd this girl get into now?

Wednesday's pov:

My parents are making out relentlessly through the cell bars. Why would they lock us in the cell right next to my father's? I don't know how much more of this I can take.
-"I've seen jackals with more self control than you"
I say staring the opposite way through the bars. Luckily my parents stop their kissing.
-"I knew you two wouldn't have what it takes to stay in jail. Luckily you won't have to"
I say reaching in my pocket and showing them a finger I had taken from Garrets corpse.
-"it's a souvenir from our outing"
-"eh"
My dad says in slight disgust. My mom graves the finger from me and examines it.
-"he died from nightshade poisoning, the remarkable preservation of soft tissue and that blue tint confirms it"
My mom slightly smiles as she looks at the finger.  I reach for the finger and am suddenly struck with a vision. In the vision I see that Garret was sent to the school by his father to kill all the outcasts but when he was fighting my father he broke the glass container of nightshade poisoning in his pocket.
-"did you have a vision?"
I hear my mother ask after I snap back to the present.
-"Garrett wasn't just trying to kill dad. He was gonna kill the whole school"
I say and my mom seems taken aback.
-"he had a vial of nightshade that broke in his pocket given to him by his father, he was gonna use it to kill the whole school"
-"well confront the mayor in the morning"
My mother says placing her hand on my shoulder. Just then Thing crawls back.
-"did you inform Enid of the situation?"
He makes a thumbs up.
-"good."
I reply.  My mother and father exchange a slight look and smile.

In the morning me and my mother go to the mayor's office.
-"thank you for meeting with us in such short notice"
My mother says.
-"yes yes, what did you wanna see me for?"
I then throw down the finger and he scoots his chair away in disgust.
-"this is a sample from Garett's body"
I say.
-"and that blue tint is a sure fire sign of nightshade poisoning"
My mother says.
-"when YOU were sheriff you were in charge of the case and covered it up"
I continue.
-"Hansel Gates hated outcasts. Claimed the land the school was built on was stolen from his family over 200 years ago. MY job was to keep the peace"
He says, raising his voice slightly.
-"now if there had been a trial both Jerico's and Nevermore's reputations would've been trashed!"
-"you could've prevented Garrets death if you had done your job and arrested him when I complained about him stalking me!"
My mother says getting upset. She then smiles in anger.
-"men like you have no idea what it feels like not to be believed"
She says in a slight whisper. The mayor sighs.
-"alright, what do ya guys want?"
He says.
-"all charges dropped."
-"my father will be released immediately with a full apology from the sheriff's office"
The mayor nods his head and makes a call to the sheriff, my and my mother then leave.
-"when did your vision's begin?"
My mom asks with a smile.
-"before I left for Nevermore"
I reply.
-"I'm sorry you didn't feel you could tell me"
I just look at her without replying.
-"but I'm always here for you Wednesday"
She says. This time...I kinda believe her.
-"I don't know how to control it. How did you deal with yours?"
I ask.
-"Well visions are different for everyone, given my disposition my visions tend to be positive, that makes me a dove. Your a raven."
She says with a smile.
-"but no one alive can teach you about it, only a past relative from our bloodline will reach out"
-"Goodie has"
I reply and a great deal of fear and concern forms in my mother's expression.
-"Goodie was a witch of great strengths, but her vengeance pushed her too far."
My mother says. Just then the doors to the police station open up and my father and the sheriff walk out. My father walks over to us and him and my mother squish me in a hug.

Enid's pov:

I'm in the room finishing a book report when I hear a knock at the door.
-"come in!"
The door opens and Wednesdays parents suspiciously walk in carrying a black box. Oh god, am I gonna die??
-"hello your Enid right?"
Her father asks with a smile.
-"y-yeah"
I reply.
-"Wednesday says good things about you, sorry I passed judgement a little too soon"
Her mother says, I feel myself start to blush a bit at the implication Wednesday talks about me.
-"we were wondering if you could hid this for us"
Her dad says, passing me the big black box.
-"oh um sure?"
I say, grabbing it.
-"it's for her upcoming birthday"
He says.
-"ohhh, yeah you got it. I'll make sure she doesn't find it till then"
I say with a smile. Her parents exchange a look then smirk a bit.
-"you seem to be a great "friend""
Her father says with a wink.
-"h-huh?"
-"oh yes, a fine addition to the family if I do say so"
Her mother says nodding her head. I feel my face heat up even more.
-"anyways we'll be off now"
Her dad says with a wave as they walk out the room. What. Just. Happened??

I then look at the time.
-"shit! I gotta go!"
I say putting on my shoes and running out the door.
-"finally!"
My mother says as I reach the quad.
-"you tryna avoid us?"
She asks suspiciously.
-"n-no never"
I say with an awkward laugh.
-"anyways we'll be back in about a week to pick up your stuff and take you on the camp tour"
-"actually no. You won't"
I say.
-"what?"
She asks confused.
-"whether I wolf out or not I want it to be on my own time"
I then think about how confident Wednesday is in her weirdness.
-"I just hope one day you'll be able to except me for who I am"
I say with a smile. My mother angrily walks away.  I look up at my father and he smiles with pride and hugs me.
-"I'm proud of you kiddo. You do you"
He then leans down and kisses me on the head.
-"goodbye dad"
I say with a smile. He smiles back, waves, and then walks off.

Wednesday's pov:

Outside the school me and my family say our goodbyes. Pugsley hugs me for what seems like forever.
-"I know I said a friend is rubbing off on me but don't push it"
He then laughs and lets go of me.
-"sorry Wednesday"
He says bashfully.
-"at least we can't say parents weekend wasn't a nail biter"
My dad says jokingly walking to me and giving me a hug. My father and pugsley then walk to the car.
-"remember Wednesday, I'm only a crystal ball away. Oh and sweetie? Keep that friend of yours close..I think you two need each other"
She then gives me a slight hug and walks away.
