Chapter Eight

    Now, the two were walking around the Harvest Festival, trying to catch sight of someone they knew. They had been one of the first ones there and already played a few little games.

About to pull her phone out to text Jade, Xavier nudges her and points towards a booth. Looking up, Caroline smiles when she sees her sister. "We should go say hi. We haven't spoken to her in a bit."

The Thorpe boy nods in agreement. They get over to her just as she throws darts at every balloon and pop them all but one. As Caroline stands in between them, Xavier leans his hands on the booth and looks at the popped balloons. "Jeez, you get any better at this, you'll be taking home a whole pack."

"Panda's don't travel in packs. They prefer solitude." Wednesday replies as she hands a dart to Caroline who takes it and throws it at the balloon.

As Xavier nods and smiles slightly, he says, "Alright, subtle hint taken."

Caroline raises her eyebrows, she did not pick up on that at all. Wednesday never really complained about her presence but then again, they've done almost everything together. She shakes her head and turns towards her twin. "What are you doing alone? I'd expect that Enid would've wanted to spend time with you. She told me about it earlier."

Wednesday looks at her sister and stays silent for a moment before speaking, "You should know I'm waiting for someone."

Caroline raises her eyebrows, maybe she was waiting for Enid? Xavier gives Wednesday a little teasing look, clearly trying to be friends with her again. "Oh yeah? Who's the lucky guy?"

"Or girl." The younger Addams butts in with a smile.

"What does it matter to you two?" Wednesday turns towards the pair, looking directly at her sister as she narrows her eyes. "You moved out of our dorm and never even said goodbye or anything."

As Xavier opens his mouth to defend the girl, Caroline puts her hand up. "Actually, Wednesday, you'd know that I was moving in with Jade if you had paid attention instead of making a plan to leave. Is that why you're waiting for someone? To just leave?"

Before Wednesday could say something, a boy came up from behind them, interrupting them, "Didn't mean to interrupt."

Xavier stands up straight while Caroline looks the boy up and down with a raised eyebrow. It was clear that she was in a pissy mood now. "You're not."

Caroline walks in between them, separating them a bit and Xavier follows the girl with a sarcastic smile. Reaching Caroline, Xavier puts his arm around the girl, attacking her with kisses causing her to laugh and try to push him away. Pulling back with a smile, Xavier asks, "Feeling better?"

"Much, much better." She wraps her arms around him for a second before pulling him to another booth. He leans against it and watches her.

Just then, something catches her eye and seems to have caught Xavier's as well. She looks over and sees Wednesday in the boy's arms, having a vision. The girl was quick to stand and run after another kid who had run into the woods. After a few seconds of looking in between the woods and Xavier. She turns to the boy. "Stay here! I'm going to go after her."

She runs off without another word, getting lost until she hears her sister's voice. Caroline couldn't make out what she said but she had found her way to them. She stops in her tracks when she sees Wednesday against the tree, in the air. The kid who had run into the woods had been Rowan and he looked a bit crazy right now.

Frozen in fear, there was a monstrous growl. Caroline watches as a creature comes out of nowhere and grabs Rowan, throwing him to the ground. With wide eyes, Caroline watches as the monster..thing or whatever the hell it is tears at the boy. With a shaky breath, she brings her hand up to her mouth as Wednesday crawls towards the boy, watching as a paper falls onto his chest.
