The Red Means I love you - A Wenclair Scream AU

Rewritten Chapter 5

Tara was enjoying her morning, it was quiet as Amber slept in a little, allowing her to clean up and go to the store, intending to buy more first aid supplies, since they were running quite slow with the copious amounts of injuries Amber kept getting. She needed to get groceries anyways.

She dressed in a sweater, making sure to get her wallet and keys. She'd gotten a muffin as soon as she entered the store, the basket holding her breakfast, her wallet, and keys. She didn't trust Amber to drive, unless they were in a police chase that was. She walked around the store, picking out groceries and setting them into the shopping basket as she walked. She was quiet, glancing around the store, both wanting to leave, and very much wanting to burn it down. She ignored it, subconsciously making her way to the hunting isles of the store. There she saw a blonde, she was taller, her hair highlighted with pink and blue. But then the most peculiar question was directed to her.

"Hey, do you think this is a good gift for my violent boyfriend?"

Tara tilted her head, looking at the blonde, into her blue eyes and then at the filleting knife in her hands. She frowned, shaking her head. "If your boyfriend likes stabbing someone multiple times, then yes. If not? I'd suggest something like this."

Tara picked up a different knife, the one the blonde had was for filleting, this one was bulky, heavy, used for actual meat on large animals, unlike the filleting knife used for fish. She passed it to the taller girl, smirking at the way her eyes lit up. Then she noticed the prescription medication bag in her basket, how interesting....

"I'm Tara, you?"

"Enid. I'm guessing your partner likes hunting too, right?"

Tara nodded, taking her phone out. "If you need some tips, we can exchange contacts."

"That's a great idea! It'll be so helpful, please! I'm really new to my partner's need with stuff like this."

Tara snorted softly, laughing at the way Enid tried to show the hidden meaning behind her words. She wasn't very subtle, was she?

Enid opened her phone, happy to exchange contact information with Tara.

"Thanks for the help Tara, I gotta get some bleach now... I'll talk later, bye!!!" Enid swiped her phone from the smaller girl when she was done, waving excitedly as she ran off to find the cleaning isle. She needed a lot of bleach. Tara watched, quietly stunned. She laughed before leaving, taking that fillet knife that Enid had originally picked up with her as she went to pay.

Enid came back into the house skipping, her arms loaded with groceries. Originally, Lurch helped her carry in groceries, but she'd threatened him with kindness until he let her carry her own groceries into the house. He'd stopped driving her as well, since she seemed to want to do it herself. She'd even painted their car pink and he wouldn't be found alive inside the thing.

She dropped the groceries on the kitchen counter and started unpacking everything, turning her phone on to play some music to distract herself while working. She was jealous, worried about Wednesday's date. She danced along to the music, off in her own world as she put away groceries, set the knife down on the counter, and picked out the bleach bottles to spread carefully around the house. She stopped suddenly, only due to seeing Wednesday in the doorway. They wore a simple outfit, something almost exactly like the clothes they'd wear to go out for a hunt. Though they'd actually combed their hair this time, and snipped at the small bits of facial hair on their face. Enid was glad they were finally taking testosterone, she could see how happy they were now.

Plus, they were so goth daddy. Especially with their gloves and the chains connected to their wallet and house keys tucked away into the pockets of their pants.

Wednesday smiled, the sight of fanged teeth making Enid internally swoon. She loved seeing Wednesday smile like that.

"I'll see you this evening, mi sol." Wednesday walked over to Enid, kissing her cheek and leaning against her, holding her for a moment before before leaving for their date.

"I'll see you later Willa!"  That was a lie, she waited until they were walking away from the house with the girl to follow, tracking them after locking the door. Hopefully she wouldn't be caught.

When Wednesday first opened the door, they were met with a knife to their throat, Amber grinning a quite wolfish snarl. Wednesday felt their cheeks redden and they took the offered gift, taking Amber's hand and kissing it as they walked out of the house.

They spoke in hushed whispers to each other, Wednesday feeling flustered after Amber complimented their outfit. "You told me to dress as I usually would while harvesting, this is what was currently clean..."

Amber smirked, pulling Wednesday toward the forest. She had a shortcut they could take for their date and she was very excited about it.

"You're fine, but you remember how to grave rob, right?" Wednesday scoffed, seemingly offended by the question.

"Freeman, I am an Addams, I am well versed in the art of gravedigging." Amber laughed, wrapping an arm around her date's shoulders.

"Great! The last one who gets to the picnic spot has to keep the body!" Amber took off immediately after she spoke, surprising Wednesday. The Addams kept walking, following behind Amber and unaware that they were being watched by both their own girlfriend, and Amber's.

Wednesday arrived at the picnic spot and sat down on the black blanket, appreciating that Amber made sure it was black so it wouldn't aggravate their color allergy. Wednesday nodded, silently complimenting Amber's commitment to the date. There was a small portable cooler, which was filled with snacks and drinks, Wednesday turned their nose up at that and looked at Amber, slightly confused. They were in a graveyard, a small one located within the deep forest. It made them smile, the dark, quiet night of the evening.

"I thought we could dig you up a snack, if you got hungry?" Amber explained, noticing the slight grimace on their face. She smiled, pleased to see that nothing had changed.

"Thanks for saying yes, Wendy..."

"Thank you for offering to take me out, Freeman."
