Why You Shouldn't Curse Your Student - Marilyn Thornhill

Chapter 26

Wednesday POV

I wouldn't say that I was wrong about anything. I was never wrong before, even when I tricked Enid and Tyler, that was an excellent move to investigate the manor.

But if I weren't wrong, why would I feel so guilty?

The dorm room was always filled with some ears-murdering music but now is only silent. It makes me feel lonely in an uncomfortable way.

Enid was mad at me and she left.

What happened tonight is making me question myself.

Am I wrong?

Am I too selfish?

Never in my life had I ever felt this scared, even when that monster chased me I was still not this scared.

Did I lose her?

Thomas Stone POV

That was a close call.

Thanks to Kara, the police didn't find all the evidence that I left in the manor. That Addams girl is so annoying just as much as the werewolf one.

Well, at least the spell is successfully done, the protection charm is now off. Just a simple curse and she will be my new servant. Such a beautiful win for me.

But not just end here, there is still one more thing I want to do before calling it a night. Remember the Mayor? He's still alive, a very lucky man.

Let's see how lucky can he be!

And so, another day has come, another funeral in Jericho. It's bad to kill my kind but that man has chosen his side, he chose the Outcast, so his death is predictable... Well, it was me who killed him after all, so that was predictable to me.

Kara's also here in the crowd, she faked her sadness very excellently, how wonder she was an actress.

After everything was done, I quickly approach Laurel and grab her away from people's sight. I want her to be the one who performs the curse on the girl, if I do it she won't be happy, obviously.

It still quite amazed me, the amulet. It just worked so well, it made Marilyn Thornhill become Laurel Gates again. I just don't get why she still loves the wolf. That really troublesome!

Maybe I could use some spell on her, to make her see me as May Marshall.

Yeah, that good one, easier to breed her that way!

Marilyn POV

I'm not here to solve these teenage girls' love problems. The only teenage girl I want to handle is May, not Enid the colorful or Wednesday the goth.

Also, if Enid moves to Yoko's room then May must move in with Wednesday, which would be even more problematic for her to sneak o... sorry, I didn't mean to say that.

Anyway, after failing to convince Wednesday to reconcile with Enid, I come back to my room. Thomas gave me May's blood to me so I can just put the curse on May myself. This curse is different from the one I used to put on May at the beginning of the semester. This one only needs the victim's blood, alcohol, silver knife and my blood.

I put May's blood into the cup of alcohol, then I speak the chant and cut my hand with the silver knife at the end of the ceremony. While doing it, I feel something in me just screaming at me, it tells me to stop.

But maybe I'm just imagining it. This is what I want, making her mine.

Wednesday POV

"So what do you think?"

"I'll be there"

"Great, come as soon as you're ready! I have a surprise for you!"

This is such a horrible dream, in a good way of course. Enid came back to me, she even set a new date night for us in the Crackstone Crypt. I have doubted she is not the Enid I know, but everything is just correct, her scent, her habit, her word choice. Maybe the murderer things have made me too sensitive about everything.

I also learned a little more about Shapeshifter from Nathaniel Faulkner's diary that uncle Fester and I found in the Nightshade library. There are a few types of Shapeshifters. Some can only shift some parts of their body. Some only can shift into themself but at different ages. Some can shift into other people, this is the most common. Some can shift into other animals or species, the rarest, there were only 3 people that had this ability in history. One died young because they shift into a deer but don't know how to shift back into human and got killed by a hunter. One was killed in Salem because people think they were a witch. One was actually related to me, Belladonna Addams, my great-grandmother's sister, who moved to Europe with her husband. It's quite possible that the Shapeshifter I'm searching for is her descendant because this ability is hereditary.

Fortunately, I do have a Shapeshifter relative. Unfortunately, she's dead for 2 years at the age of 26 in a car accident. If this one really is her, then Pugley must be so happy, she had always sent him the best bombing plane toy.

Anyway, I have a date tonight, better be hurry and don't let the lady wait.

"Thing, should I wear this the caro pattern or the stripes?"

"Caro"

This's also a good time to wear the snoods she gave me.

"Thing, you watch the diary. I'll try to come back as soon as possible"

I come to the crypt as quickly as I can, but when I got there, Enid isn't here yet so I wait for her. Time passed and I start to have some uncanny feelings.

"Addams?" the door suddenly opened, the Sheriff and some of his men stomped in "What are you doing here?"

"Same to you, Sheriff"

"I'm following a bank robber. Now you, answer!"

"Someone tricked me to come here. I have to go back now"

They let me off easily this time. My pace start getting quicker and quicker, my heart pounding hard in my chest as if something really bad happened.

If only I were wrong this time.

"Wednesday" May ran to me, in her hand was Thing with a bloody big wound "I stop him from bleeding but the wound won't heal when I use spells on it!"

"Come with me!"

I have to find uncle Fester, he'll know what to do.
