Opposites attract

Joseph Crackstone

Enid's pov:

As me and Ajax make out again suddenly my claws come out interrupting our kiss. This happens WAY too often, sometimes I'm grateful but tonight it's just annoying. There's nothing to keep me from Ajax anymore so I just wish we could continue in peace.
-"woah"
Ajax says looking at my claws right next to his face. He backs up a bit.
-"are you sure your ok to be doing this? It IS a full moon after all"
He says with clear concern in his voice. He's not wrong, I can hear the other werewolves outside howling but I doubt if I wolf out it'll be tonight.

-"I'm ok"
I say with a slight smile in a voice that's a bit shakier than I'd like it to be. I lean in to kiss him again but before our lips touch I hear my phone buzz on the night stand. Oh. It's Eugene. I straighten my sweater and answer.
-"Eugene! How are you?"
I ask in a happy tone. I know he just got out of the hospital but his timing couldn't be worse. I'm in an unstable state of mind cause of Wednesday leaving and now I'm literally in the middle of something with my boyfriend.
-"have you seen Wednesday?"
He asks, sounding worried. Suddenly all my attention is on this call.
-"no? She left hours ago"
-"her and Weems went to confront Mrs. Thornhill"
-"w-why would they confront Mrs. Thornhill?"
I ask, unable to hide my obvious confusion.

-"cuz she's behind everything that's happened"
Eugene says.
-"uhhh a-Ajax and I will go and check out the conservatory"
I say looking at Ajax then back at my phone.
-"what's he doing in your room!?"
Eugene asks, seeming a little too upset.
-"umm.."
Just then Thing bursts through the door. Thank god.
-"oh Thing!"
I exclaim, setting my phone down, forgetting to hang up. Thing starts sighing aggressively.

Ajax's pov:

Wednesday's...little hand... Thing starts taping around and mimicking a bunch of things while Enid intensely watches.
-"Weems"
She says and looks like she wants to cry. I look at her totally confused.
-"who are the nightshades?"
She asks confused. The hand points at me. Well shit. I groan.

Wednesday's pov:

I wake up and notice my hands are chained above my head. I guess I didn't die, for once I'm semi grateful of that. I then notice Tyler and stare up at him angrily.
-"woah kinda a déjà vu thing we got going on here"
He says looking down at me.
-"go wait in the boat"
Laural says, pretty annoyed sounding.
-"listen to your master and be a good little Hyde"
I say, rolling my eyes. He turns to me and almost looks like he wants to do something.
-"now!"
Laurel yells and Tyler leaves.

-"that shapeshifting stunt with Weems... ALMOST worked"
Laurel says sounding almost impressed as she places the jars of body parts around Crackstone's tomb.
-"I see you get you psychoticness from your great grandfather"
I reply, annoyed.
-"Joseph Crackstone was a visionary"
She says, biting on her words as her anger boils up.
-"DEDICATED to protecting noormies from OUTCASTS!"
She says with distaste in her tone as she says "outcasts". It's quite incredible, her AND Tyler both had me fooled. They played me better than I could ever play me cello.

-"then they stole his land to build that ABOMINATION of a school."
Now she's gone too far.
-"Joseph Crackstone was an asshole! Nevermore only stands as a reminder of is ignorance!"
I yell moving around a bit. She raises an eyebrow and walks towards me a bit.
-"this has to do with your little mutt doesn't it"
She states. I just look at her angrily.
-"I wouldn't be too concerned, if I remember correctly her and Ajax were off sucking face just as you left"
My eyes widened in anger but there's nothing I can do. Who cares if her and Ajax were making out? I only care that they might die!

Laurel goes back to adjusting the body parts.
-"you can't wake the dead."
I state.
-"believe me I've tried"
I mutter. She stands up and smiles.
-"well your great grandmother, Goodie Addams, would disagree"
She says. It takes a moment but I soon understand.
-"Goodies book of shadows"
I say in slight shock.
-"your the one that stole the original from pilgrim world"
She smiles again. It's not a kind smile, this is the smile of someone about to go insane.
-"you see.. it wasn't enough for Goodie to kill Crackstone oh no, she had to curse his soul too"
She says, her eyes wide as she walks close to me.

-"Goodie sealed Crackstone in his sarcophagus with a blood lock"
I look at her confused.
-"only one of her direct descendants can open it"
She says, rolling her eyes. I then remembered one of my first encounters with Goodie, everything now makes sense.
Mostly.

Laurel unhooks my chains then drags me by my handcuffs over to Crackstones tomb. She takes out a knife and cuts across my palm. I scrunch my face in pain. She grabs my hand and places it in the seal. My hand begins to burn terribly but I can't move it. She begins reading from the book of shadows and suddenly my hand is released causing me to fall to the floor, incapable of doing anything but watching. In a dramatic display of lightning and smoke Crackstone finally emerges from his tomb, he looks kinda like a scarecrow. Laurel stares up at him in awe. I begin working on unlocking my cuffs.

-"I- m-my name is Laurel gates, I'm one of your only living descendants"
Laurel says, slightly bowing. Crackstone nods his head.
-"my vengeance will be swift and true"
He says, kissing her hand.
-"as will mine"
I say throwing the cuffs to the floor as I stand up. I try to lunge forward but Joseph uses his staff to stiffen me and suspend me in the air. He then brings me closer to him.
-"hmm I won't let another Addams get in my way again"
Then stabs me through my side and my eyes widen in shock and pain.
-"now burn in the eternal fires of hell"
He says with a bright smile as he stabs me again.

I stumble back before hitting a wall and sliding down it. There's not much a can do. Can I even survive this? It's not like anyone will be looking for me. Joseph and Laurel soon exit the crypt, leaving me on the floor, gasping for air, dying...
