Step Away ||Wednesday Addams x OC Katrina||

Cellar

Katrina's POV

I sat on the floor since I still didn't have a bed, and sighed aggressively as I fell back onto the floor. We had just made it back from the cemetery to the dorm. Luckily, we didn't have any classes for a couple of days. "The cellar," I began, looking at Wednesday as she sat down on her bed with Thing at her side. "What about it?" She asked. "There was one near my house."

"And?"

"Well, we could go check if it's still there. My mom wouldn't ever let me go out to where it was so I figured it was under construction or something." Wednesday looked at me. I continued, "If it was in your vision, shouldn't we go check it out?" She continued to look at me. "The last time I went on a devious adventure, I ended up almost dying." She said.

"And that's a problem now all of a sudden?"

"Enid's safety rubbed off on me a little." She defended herself.

"ANYWAY," I said, inhaling and facing the large window in the room. "The cellar seems important. If it's not there, then oh well. If it is, it won't be a devious adventure. We just need to get in fast, get out faster." I had been facing Wednesday for a couple of seconds, now.

Her eyes lingered on me making my mouth go dry all of a sudden. I blinked continuously, trying to regain my focus. "U-uhm, yeah. So. Uh, since I can teleport, it shouldn't be a long, uhm, long journey."

"Please stop stuttering, it makes my brain hurt..and not in a good way. I've heard dogs speak more eloquently than you."

"Oh, well I'm sorry Ms Straight A's, Perfect dictation, perfect spelling, oh, one hour to my novel a day- I mean come on it's not my fault you make m-" I stopped in my tracks. Holy fuck. I almost admitted to Wednesday Fucking Addams that she makes me stutter. Does she? Is that why I'm nervous? No, I just can't think straight. I'm stressed. My thoughts were all over the place. Once I focused again, Wednesday was staring at me.

"Come on, I'm not Mona Lisa, stare at me when I do something stupid please." I said, marching my way out of the room. "Oh," I said, poking my head back in. "Meet me in the Quad at ten. We have somewhere to be okay? Oh, and bring a flashlight or two." I said quickly, and walked out again.

~TIME SKIPPPP BC I DONT WANNA WRITE THAT~

Wednesday's POV

Katrina finished telling me to meet her in the Quad at ten. She left about three minutes ago. I had acquired the flashlights and some extra necessities. I looked around the room, realizing Katrina still has no bed. Hope that floor is nice and comfy. I thought. I made my way down to the Quad with four minutes to spare. Katrina was laying on top of one of the tables.

I observed from a distance. She looked nice in the chilled sun. No, she doesn't. I thought. I composed myself before advancing toward her. "Boo." I said, flatly. Katrina seemed unresponsive to my antics. "Ha ha. Very funny." She said, sarcastically.

We arrived at Katrina's home, stepping carefully on the crunchy gravel, although no matter how light we stepped, a rock always moved. Eventually, we had managed to sneak around the yard to the places where the cellar used to be. As we turned the corner, both sets of our eyes landed on two cellar doors, chained shut.

A loud gasp had escaped Katrina's lips. I grabbed her shoulder, pulled her close and shushed her. She rolled her eyes and walked toward the chained doors. "It has a lock. Did you bring anything that could help us pick the lock?" Katrina asked me, whispering softly. "I brought a bobby pin. The least suspicious." I said, as I handed her the pin.

She took it gratefully and started worked at the lock. Eventually after two minutes of soft clicks here and there, the lock generously opened. Katrina cautiously removed the lock from the chains, while handing me the lock. I took on side of the heavily rusted chain while Katrina took the other. The doors of the cellar creaked open harshly and echoed into the midnight air.

Katrina gasped quietly when she entered the cellar.

"Oh, fuck." She said, picking up an object.
