You Have Never Scared Me

What I Made Her Do

Hello its me enid i have no time to introduce myself again because I need to record this meeting

Weds has been working with me on grammar, so I can record this meeting properly. So basically, we all met and read a poem. We figured out that Rowan was helping. Weds wrote all that down, but we needed her to concentrate, so somehow the job went to me. So anyway. I had grabbed her hand, unable to stop myself.

 She looked at me for a moment, and I couldn't read her beautiful dark eyes. But when I blinked, she had patted my hand on hers and said, "I'll be okay. I just need to... to sort out my emotions so I can understand my visions better and not get overwhelmed with them. Emotions really aren't my strong suit, though," she added as an afterthought. 

 "Well, Enid will work with you on controlling emotions," Bianca said. "Yoko, Divina and me can go look for more clues. Ajax, Xavier and Kent will analyze clues and look through the library. Lucas and Eugene will get eyes on suspects, since Lucas can cover Jericho and Eugene the school. Thing can help Wednesday, of course. Agreed?"

 "All right," I said. "Meet back here every Friday to go over what we found, and if there's an emergency meeting because of something, text us all to meet here in the group chat and we can organize action then?" 

 They all nodded, and I stood up to help Weds to her room. This went on for about two weeks. I was helping Weds back from lunch when there was something between us, the way she leaned on me when I walked for us, the way I held her arm around my shoulders, the way she looked at me when I sat her finally back on the bed. I sat down next to her; at first she flinched away but made herself stay. I smiled at this.

 "Well, what emotions do you already know you have?" I asked her.

 "Revenge, anger, and a liking for bloodshed," she responded swiftly. 

 "I know that, silly," I said, putting an arm around her and bringing her close. I wanted her close. I needed her scent, the combination of body heat but determined coldness that came from her. I noticed that she tried to get away, but when I held her there, she sighed in defeat and didn't object again. "But what else do you feel? Sadness, happiness, whatever?"

 "Well, after what Tyler did, I seemed to realize that I did, in fact, have a heart after all," she said. "He always acted so... sweet. And then we were standing alone in the police office and he was telling me how he would wake up naked and covered in blood... how their screams tasted so good, their blood on his tongue. How he was the Hyde and he'd be coming for me next. And then, I was angry, but there was also something... deeper? Like that night, there was a kind of connection to him and the rest of us, and the school. Like I knew I wasn't leaving, and you all would follow me if I did."

 "We would," I agreed. "We'd follow you to the end of the world. So was this connection... sadness, or determination? What did it do in your head? Did you start feeling like if you left you'd miss it? Or miss US?"

 "I think... you," she admitted. "I think it was like, when I'm with the group, I feel safer, and everything somehow hurts... less. Like it's kind of nice to know that you'd always follow me, all the way back to the Hyde if you had to, because you... trusted me. So I think I... trust you? It's a kind of bond, where I'd protect you because I know you'd do the same for me."

 My stomach flipped in excitement. "Weds!" I said happily. "You care about us!" 

 She looked startled, somehow prettier. "I do?"

 "Yes. You... you actually like us," I said joyfully. Maybe I... maybe I had a chance with the one and only Wednesday Addams. If she cared about me and wanted to protect me, maybe we could build from there, and... I could see her forever. I looked into those dark eyes, and I saw it-she did really care for us, even if she'd never admit it.
