Opposites attract

Beginning of the end (pt.2)

Enid pov:

Randomly Wednesday pulls a book from their shelf and the entire book case moves revealing a secret picture of none other than Joseph Crackstone.
-"who builds an alter in their family library"
I say wanting to cry, I don't wanna be here.
-"ours is in the living room"
Wednesday says as though it's normal. Me and Tyler shoot her a confused look.
-"what? More seating for year long dia de los muertos"
She then steps further into the little room and feels above the candles.
-"their still warm"
Fuck Wednesday get me out of here!

Wednesdays pov:

-"let's split up, Tyler you look down stairs, Enid you take the north wing and I'll take the south"
Enid then grabs my arm and looks at me desperately.
-"are you sure we should split up? Isn't that normally how people like...DIE in this situation??"
I can see the fear in her eyes and even her lip is beginning to quiver but I push her hands off my arm.
-"it's the quickest way to explore the house, I'll still be upstairs with you. If you need anything yell"
Tyler starts walking back towards their kitchen and me and Enid split up when we reach upstairs. I hear her start mumbling stuff to herself in order to calm her nerves. After about 10 minutes Enid calls for me.
-"um Wednesday? You might wanna come check this out"
She wants to cry...maybe I shouldn't have made her come? I walk over to the room she's in. It's Garret's sister's room. My eyes widen as I notice the flowers on the nightstand and I rush over to inspect them.
-"the flowers..their still alive"
We then hear Tyler scream from downstairs. We run to the staircase and see the monsters silhouette as he attacks Tyler. The monsters then starts charging towards the stairs. I grab Enid's hand and we run to a small dumbwaiter where we can hear the monster just outside.

Enid covers her mouth trying to control her breathing but I can see the tears roll down her face. Suddenly we begin to shake and Enid screams. I take off my snood and use it to tie the doors shut. Enid reaches for my arm to stop me.
-"not your snood!"
She says in a harsh whisper.
-"stop it"
I say pushing her off me. As I'm tying the monster slashes through the metal. Enid screams again and I back up. Holy shit I could've died.
-"oh my god ohh my god"
Enid whispers to herself as she begins to cry. The rope holding us up then snaps and we begin falling full speed down. Enid screams again. Once we hit the ground we fall out onto the floor. We're in some sort of basement.

Enid's pov:

Fuck I'm like OFFICIALLY traumatized. Wednesday begins looking around the room and I stand up. She shines her flashlight as a few jars on the shelves. There inside we see dozens of human body parts.
-"these are the missing body parts from the monster's victims!"
She says with some weird sense of delight. We then hear the monster start banging on the door and run to hide. Wednesday tries to keep looking but I open a window and grab her.
-"you ok?"
-"since when do you care!?"
I say in tears as a storm away. She's lucky I even saved her life after what we've been through tonight! Wednesday then starts running an opposite way.
-"where the hell are you going!?"
-"we have to go save Tyler"
She says jogging away. Yeah yeah let's go save your stupid boyfriend, at least you care about someone. We find Tyler sitting in a sewer like entrance with a giant scratch across his chest. Wednesday instantly goes down to hold a jacket over it to stop the bleeding when suddenly Xavier appears.
-"woah, what happened?"
He asks, looking down at Tyler and Wednesday.
-"where'd you come from?"
Wednesday asks.
-"just from school, Thing said you'd be here"
-"help me get him up, you can drive right?"
-"uh yeah"
Wednesday throws Tyler's keys at him and we soon begin our drive back. This time I sit shotgun as Wednesday comforts Tyler.
-"we should really get him to a hospital"
Xavier suggests.
-"NO hospitals. Let's just get him home, I'll bandage him up there"

Wednesday's pov:

As I'm cleaning Tyler's wounds and patching him up the front door opens and I back away from him.
-"what the hell"
The sheriff whispers.
-"sheriff I understand your upset but I really think you need to see something"
I say trying to calm him down before he can lash out. The sheriff agrees and drives me back to the gates mansion where of course we find nothing...
-"I don't understand, it was all right here! The missing body parts, the car that ran over the Mayor, everything!"
-"is that your justification for almost getting my son and your friends killed?"
He says shining his flashlight on my face.
-"I'm taking you back to school and you are FORBIDDEN from pursuing anything to do with this case. Understood!?"
Within the next hour I'm back at school. I've been in this situation too many times. As I begin walking up the stairs I hear principal Weems.
-"you've directly violated my explicit order and left campus during a lockdown"
-"I know which is grounds for expulsion"
I say with a nod and she smiles as though winning some sort of victory.
-"but your not gonna do that"
Her smile fades into confusion.
-"and why the hell not?"
I pullout the drawing from Rowen and show it to her.
-"what is this?"
-"it's a warning from Rowen"
She takes the picture from me and examines it some more.
-"is this why he tried to kill you..?"
She asks looking back up at me. I nod.
-"his mother drew it before she died, said I'm destined to destroy the school...but I think I'm meant to save it"
-"ok and this means?"
-"I think I deserve another chance...please..."
-"ONE more indication..and you will be expelled."
She says clenching her jaw in anger.
-"Enid and Xavier are spared as well."
-"fffFINE! NO more negotiation!"
She says storming off.

Enid's pov:

After arriving at my dorm I instantly collapse on the floor and scream into my legs. Tears begin falling from my eyes.
-"this bitch is fucking crazy what the fuck, I almost DIED! I could've died!"
I yell in tears. I crawl my way towards the bathroom and start a shower where I keep replaying in my mind all the events from tonight. I then think of what happened before all this had even begun. Wednesday had completely played and manipulated me. How many times has she done this? Has she done this before and I just never realized?
-"f-fuck..we were never friends..I..I was just getting played"
After getting out of the shower I call Yoko.
-"are you ok!?"
-"y-yeah I'm fine, um..can I spend the night with you?"
I ask looking over at Wednesdays side of the room.
-"huh? I mean of course but what about Wednesday?"
-"I just-"
I think about all the times me and her had had and all the sweet moments we had shared.
-"I just don't wanna be in here"
-"alright yeah you can come over"
-"great see ya in like a half hour"

Wednesday's pov:

I walk in and see Enid packing a bag.
-"where are you going?"
I ask confused.
-"Yoko's room"
She says shoving stuff into her bag.
-"Thornhill said I could crash there for a few nights"
-"there's no need, I spoke with Weems. You and Xavier won't be punished"
She scoffs.
-"Am I supposed to thank you?"
She says still not looking at me. I look at her confused.
-"I already apologized. It's over"
Finally she turns around to face me.
-"over?"
I can hear her anger forming.
-"tonight was just the icing on the birthday cake YOU couldn't even be BOTHERED to CUT! You will use anyone to get what you want, even if it means putting them in danger!"
I can hear how she wants to cry but moreover I hear how upset and hurt she is. She can't be serious right? I never asked her to do anything for my birthday, she can't seriously be mad.
-"we could've died tonight because of your STUPID obsession!"
-"but we didn't."
There's pain in her eyes.
-"and now I'm one step closer to solving this case, THAT is what is important!"
I say stepping closer to her. She seems taken aback and at a slight loss for words. She takes a breath.
-"I have tried. Really..REALLY REALLY hard to be your friend. Always put myself out there. Always thought of your feelings, told people...'I know she gives off serial killer vibes but she's really just shy'"
-"I never asked you to do that."
-"you didn't have to because that's what friends do!"
She yells. My eyes widen. She's...she's really serious right now.
-"they don't have to be asked"
She seems to be waiting for me to say something. Why can't I say something! Anything to make her stay!
-"and the fact that YOU don't know that says EVERYTHING"
It looks as though she want to cry but she's determined not to she then turns to grab her bag.
-"you wanna be alone Wednesday? BE ALONE!"
She says slamming the door as she leaves. Why..couldn't I say anything..? I could've made her stay but I didn't...

I feel lightheaded. I can't stomach to look at Enid's side of the room. I turn off the light and walk over to the window. Consumed by sadness I curl up beside it. Goodie said I was destined to be alone but for the first time in my life it doesn't feel good...how could I lose my best friend..? Why am I like this!? Why couldn't I have put her needs above mine!?

Yoko's pov:

As I'm flipping through a magazine I hear a soft knock at my door. I open it to see Enid, she looks drained. She manages a slight smile but then breaks down into tears and collapses. I fall to catch her and she cries into my arms.
