Wednesday's fingers itched, black leather gloves resting against her wooden pencil. The difference of texture felt odd, it was something else she didn't like. But after having so many visions last semester, it was better to wear protection in public spaces so her visions would be less frequent.

Wednesday wanted nothing but to leave the class, ignoring the droning teacher of English. She knew the topic well, and while often focusing on everything a teacher said, it was hard for the teen to think of anything but Enid. She'd been so captivating, so beautiful and warm this morning. They craved her warmth, her presence and endless chatting. Her soft words and light kisses. They wanted Enid, they didn't feel right in public spaces without her.

The pencil held carefully in their hand snapped in two, rolling on their notebook and onto the floor clattering softly. Wednesday flinched at the noise, they rose their hand, fighting to keep the distress down long enough to ask, "May I use the restroom?" Their words were curt, monotonous but as they stood from their seat and left, just barely catching a reply of "Yes," from the teacher.

Wednesday avoided the bathroom, instead using their knowledge of the school's hidden books and hiding spaces to their advantage, looking for a place to hide as their pulse thundered in their ears. They took deep, uncomfortable breaths through clenched teeth and Wednesday just managed to set herself down at the base of a statue before tears started pouring from her eyes. She rubbed at them, desperate and aggressive. She grabbed her phone, trying to contact Enid. Enid wasn't in class, nor were the rest of her pack. They were probably still stuck up on the thing they mentioned with Xavier. Which was understandable, Wednesday was very upset by it themselves. They regretted thinking about Xavier, they couldn't breathe anymore. It felt as if their lungs were unable to move. They could feel the uncomfortable, far too wet and hot tears falling down their cheeks, they could feel themselves trembling. They shook their head, trying to call Enid while physically able to do so. They waited for their mate to pick up, chest constricting more and heart aching. Nothing! The phone kept buzzing, Enid was unable to pick up, it sent Wednesday deeper in their spiral and they tried to call her again, having to keep themselves back from calling out Enid's name. Surely she could sense their distress? Surely she'd come. Right?

Wednesday internally cursed themselves for lacking faith in their mate, for being afraid of being left. But they had a valid reason to worry. An Addams often died of a broken heart, and Wednesday didn't want to experience the same fate, not when they'd found their mate and had been happy for months. Enid wouldn't leave them, she couldn't. She wouldn't. Probably...

They needed Enid, they needed her now. Their skull pounded, their heart clenching and thoughts swirling. The beckoning of their love repeating till the words began to spill from their quivering lips. "Enid Enid Enid Enid Enid Enid Enid Enid Enid Eni-"

"Wednesday!" The voice made them jump, eyes heavy with tears looking at who called for them. Eugene.

Wednesday often disliked touch, Eugene knew that, but he wrapped the seer carefully into a hug, holding them and wiping their face. They didn't speak, but Wednesday nuzzled into his neck, relaxing at the familier smell of their brother. Eugene let out a breath when he saw how the other Addams was calming down. He relaxed, letting Wednesday pull away from the hug. They said nothing as they held hands, enjoying each other's company. Until Wednesday finally asked about for the whereabouts of their mate.

Xavier was fucked, he'd figured that out when his studio was suddenly destroyed, a large beast tearing through the walls and paintings. He yelled, jumping away and rushing out the doors, only to bump into Bianca and Yoko.

"Guys, guys, we gotta run what the fuck!" Xavier started to run, pushing past Yoko and Bianca, but he was met with a large golden wolf, who snarled and growled at him. Beady black eyes narrowed with only rage. He was no longer viewed as a member of their pack.

"Better run Xavi, Puppy's looking for good game to bring to her Wednesday. Don't want to get caught too early, do you?" Yoko smirked at the sight of Xavier pailing, he turned to look at Bianca for help, who just shrugged.

"Go have some fun Sinclair, Vamps and I will deal with this dump." Bianca gave Enid a sly smile, pointing at the now partially destroyed shed that Xavier had turned into an art studio. Yoko and Bianca entered the studio, letting Enid have her fun with Xavier. All In All, the group thought it was a pretty good day, considering that Enid had a gift for Wednesday when they returned to the school, and That Xavier's shed was set on fire. Which probably wasn't a good idea since they were in a forest, but at least it was fun!

When the group of three got back to the school grounds, Enid in a new change of clothes and the three of them smelling like smoke, Wednesday and Enid were there to greet them. The slightly taller goth launching themselves at their mate and holding onto them, inhaling deeply. Enid was covered in blood, but the werewolf was grinning so hard her cheeks hurt.

"Willa, we're back!" Enid declared, giggling at the sight of her mate, who stared at her, transfixed. The Addams licked her lips, having to reapply saliva to avoid the uncomfortable physical sensation of dry lips.

"This I see Enid, But where were you? Why weren't you in class?" There was no demand, just a gentle shake, a hint of concern, of fear. Enid puffed out her chest, her eyes glowing brightly, she could feel her claws grow, which gently cupped Wednesdays smaller body into hers.

"I went hunting for you, to take care of that creep Xavier. So you won't be bothered anymore!" Enid's voice was chipper, her grinning face filled with bloody fangs, it took Wednesday's breath away. It made her knees weak, it made her want.

"Thank You, Mi Sol. I'm sure you were perfect. Now, I'd like to get to the dorm room before I end up ravaging you against the school's stone floors. " Wednesday stood on her toes to reach Enids face, pressing a short kiss to her cheek before grabbing her arm and pulling her through the school's gates, away from their friends, who acted like nothing happened, knowing that Wednesday would likely kill them before letting them talk about just what they'd seen. Unfortunately, they couldn't ignore the nearby sounds of Enid's wolf. It seems they didn't go back to the dorms, Addams apparently couldn't wait long enough.
