Fight or Flight - Wednesday Addams

Chapter 9

After teaching Wednesday how to use a laptop she used it to FaceTime Tyler Galpin, Sheriff Galpin's son. While Marley didn't approve of this she didn't state her worry to the others in the room. She doesn't know why she didn't want Wednesday calling Tyler, but one things for sure, she didn't trust him. Call it instinct.

Marley, Enid and Wednesday stood at the entrance to the Harvest Festival watching Tyler and his Dad talk. Although it looked more like an argument.

"Are you sure you can trust that normie?" Enid asked, squinting her eyes accusingly.

"I trust that I can handle myself." Wednesday replied.

"That wasn't the question." Marley responded, looking out for Wednesday's safety. Yet she didn't reply.

"Well, good luck and safe travels." Enid said trying to hug Wednesday again, but stopped when she took a step back. "Still not a hugger. Got it." She finished, walking away.

'Probably looking for Ajax'

"Are you staying to bid me goodbye also?" Wednesday asked, making Marley look back to her from watching Enid leave.

"No, just here to say you should watch out for Galpin." She warned.

"And why is that?" Wednesday questioned.

"That's what I don't know." She said looking back to Tyler. "Well I do know, he was a dick to Xavier last year, him and his friends." Marley continued looking back to Wednesday. "But there's something else I just don't know what it is. It's like he's hiding something."

"Isn't everyone hiding something?" She challenged, directly quoting Marley.

"Ha ha." She replied.

"Even if he was why should I trust you? You have no evidence, just a feeling, yes?" She asked although it was more of a statement.

"Well yeah but also." She took her hand out of her pocket to point to her head. "Telepathy."

"I thought you didn't use it because it's an invasion of privacy." She questioned.

"So Enid told you, good." She continued, "I don't read people's thoughts, yes but I do get this like feeling. Kind of like a static that only stops when you find the source of the noise, or we'll feeling I guess." The brunette explained," I don't know, Xavier calls it a 'Spidey-Sense'. Which I guess it true." She finished.

"So what are you saying?" Wednesday asked.

"I'm saying don't get close to him, people can betray in the blink of an eye if you let something slip. Even those you've known your whole life." Marley explained referencing her past, something she never does.

"I won't." Wednesday confirmed, "I don't get close to most people."

"Yeah I can see that."

It was quite for a bit while the two girls just looked at each other. Both trying to peel back the many layers they each had on.

"Well," Marley started, interrupting their silence. "Good luck, and God speed, Wednesday Addams." Marley finished, walking away, to find Xavier.

After she left, Wednesday noticed Principal Weems looking directly at her from a picnic table, a smirk plastered on the Brits face.

This brought Wednesday out of her thoughts, what they were, well you'll have to guess. As she looked around a bit before walking away, out from the prying eyes.

She ended up at a game where you had to throw darts at balloons, she threw 5 darts all of them hitting a target before Xavier and Marley walking over.

"Jeez, you get any better at this, you'll be taking home a whole... pack." He said.
