Darkness at the Heart of My Love || Wenclair

Part 19: Beginning of Classes

Enid's POV

I spent the afternoon and evening talking with Yoko and told her everything. How Ajax broke up with me, I was kicked from my pack, the trip to Wednesday's house and I even added in Wednesday and I were dating. Yoko, upon hearing the news about my courtship with Wednesday, seemed both excited and worried at the same time.

"Enid..." Yoko says with a slight worry in her voice. "As much as I support you and support your relationship with Wednesday. I do worry she will focus more on her cases and investigations and... interesting interrogation tactics, rather than your relationship." I look down, I do worry about that a little. "But Wednesday promised me, and I mean she promised me, that she would let me know if she was in trouble, and I get a say in decisions regarding our relationship." I say proudly. Yoko shrugs. "Just be careful, you know I worry about you." My alarm goes off. It's almost 11. "Bye Yoko! I am going back to my dorm to see Wednesday!" I say giving Yoko a quick hug and running out the door. "See you in class!" Yoko yells out after me.

I enter the dorm and sit on my bed. It's almost 11, and Wednesday hasn't returned. She promised me she would be back... What if Yoko is right?...

Wednesday's POV

The bell chimes 10:30. Shit. I forgot I told Enid I would be back by 11. I pack up my stuff and take the book with me, I haven't finished researching this subject. I quickly make my way back to the dorm, almost all the students are either in their dorms asleep or in the rec halls, which makes my trip from the library to the dorm quick and easy.

I enter the dorm to see Enid waiting for me with a huge smile on her face. I was not expecting that. "Hello Enid" I say, unsure why she is so happy, but honestly, I wouldn't want to see her any other way.

"I apologize for being gone so long." I say as I unpack my bag and notes. "I have been researching a new topic and I lost track of time."

"Ooo what topic?" She says excitedly.

I pause, my face slightly going red. "Well..." I pause again, thinking of a lie before deciding I would rather not lie to her. "I have been researching Werewolves, their habits, tendencies, customs, etc. so I know how to best help you during full moons and anything else you might need help with. I do not want to feel like you are alone." I say truthfully as I sit at my desk.

"W-why?" I hear her say quietly.

"Why what, Cara Mia?" I say curiously, turning to look at her, and I see her face is a bright red.

"Why... Why would you do that for me?" She says nervously. I think.

"Because Enid. Not only do I care about you, I am courting you. And I want to be able to help you and be there for you no matter what. Best way to do that, is to refresh my memory about Werewolves, then I will sit down with you and ask what you would want and or need from me."

Before I can say or do anything else, Enid is breaking all the bones in my body. But I reluctantly hug her back.

"Thank you Wednesday..." She says quietly. "Anything for you Cara Mia." I say placing a kiss on her hand. "Now, it's late and we have class tomorrow. We should head to bed." I say softly as I lay in my bed. I hear Enid pout then crawl into bed.

"Good Night Enid." I say coldly, too tired to truly care.

"Good Night Wens." She says happily but also slightly sad.

- an hour or so later -

Fuck. I can't sleep

I sit up and look over at Enid's bed. She is sleeping peacefully. As to not disturb her, I slip out the window onto the balcony. I lean against the concrete and look out into the woods. I really need to start finding out who this stalker is. And how much danger Enid might be in.

I check my phone for any messages but I have nothing. I look back at the previous messages to try and draw any conclusions or find any evidence within them. I scroll through 5 or 6 times until I am startled by a sudden hand on my shoulder, and it wasn't Thing. I shove whomever it is against the wall, sticking a knife against their abdomen.

"O-ow" I hear a soft whimper before I immediately let go. "E-Enid... I'm so so-" before I can finish she laughs. "Nono Wednesday, it was my fault, I shouldn't have startled you" I take the knife away and step back toward the balcony railing. "Are you okay, Enid?..." I say worried, knowing she just got stabbed about a week and a half ago. She nods and I lower my head and go back to the railing of the balcony.

"Enid. I am not any closer to finding out who this stalker is nor who tried to kill you" I say ashamed. I am usually better than this, I can usually solve mysteries like these extremely quickly. But I have no idea where to start.

"Wednesday, it'll be okay. We'll find out together." She says reassuringly. I nod and continue staring into the woods below.

"Come one Wednesday, let's cuddle and go to bed. We have class." She takes my hand and I allow it, following her back into the dorm.

I normally would never allow myself to cuddle with anyone. But cuddles with Enid are different. A good different. But it still scares me. I lay in her bed and allow her to cuddle me. Somehow, her cuddles help me relax. Maybe not enough to sleep, but enough for my mind to clear a little.

- The Next Morning -

I wake up to Enid's cursed box screaming. As much as I love this wolf, I hate her choice in music. I look at Enid who is still passed out, her arms wrapped around me.

"Cara Mia" I say quietly as I softly shake her awake. "We have class, it's time to get ready"

She just whines and rolls back over, falling back asleep. I roll my eyes, get out of bed, get dressed in my uniform and make sure my braids are clean.

"Enid love" I say one more time trying to wake her. I sigh and give up. I'll just get the notes for her.

I leave the room, silently closing the door and I head down the crowded hallways to the first class of the new semester. Mathematics. Enid will already be behind but I will tutor her like last semester.

I take a seat in the middle of the classroom as everyone else files in. I was lost in thought when I feel someone sit next to me. Ugh. It's Xavier.

"Sorry, that seat is taken." I say coldly, not wanting to put up with his bullshit.

"I don't see anyone sitting here" He says smugly.

"I believe that's my seat." I turn to see Enid standing there, in full uniform, her hair slightly a mess. "Now move." She says in a dark, unhappy tone I have never heard before. Honestly, it suits her.

"I was here first blondie." Xavier says and turns to ignore Enid. I get up and move to an empty table before anyone else could take it, motioning for Enid to sit next to me, Xavier turning to glare at Enid and I. For calling Enid a "blondie" I want to kill him.

I take a mental note, Xavier is still a subject for being my stalker. Especially with how upset he has been since I started courting Enid. The class goes by as normal, Enid putting her head down in frustration as I take notes for her. Once class is over, Enid rushes out of the class, as if she was afraid of something. I don't think and just run after her.

"Enid!" I call out for her as she rushes back to our dorm. She slams the door but forgets to lock it. I open it but I don't see Enid.

"Enid?... Where'd you go, Amore Mio?"
