Cold Love (Wednesday x Male reader)

The Truth

The morning did not improve at all. The sky was even grayer and it began to rain while we were at the mayor's funeral. Everyone was crying, everyone except one person, Wednesday, who looked at each and every one of those present since, according to her, the person responsible must be near her.Minutes passed and one by one we gave our condolences. Only Wednesday was sheltered in her umbrella, something that seemed strange to me. I told Enid to go with Ajax if she wanted, that I would stay a while longer to find out what was happening. The crowd of people had already gone home.

—What a strange attitude...well...more than normal—I thought.Wednesday she started running into the woods suddenly.—What the hell is he doing?—I put my umbrella away and started to run at full speed, what my legs allowed me—has he seen something?

I was able to follow her from afar while she went into the trees, hoping that the monster would not appear to attack us. I braked when I saw her standing in the distance. At that moment a man appeared and Wednesday attacked but he defended himself. They both stopped their fight and he took off the hat he was wearing, revealing his identity, a bald man.I managed to reach her and took her by the shoulders.

—Are you crazy? Don't start running like that in the middle of the forest, especially after everything we've been through!—I said, feeling my heart pounding—I'm sorry—I moved my hands away."This is my Uncle Fetid." The man made a small bow."Charmed." I was able to catch my breath as he held my knees.I breathed relieved knowing that there was no danger."Why so worried?" He asked, "I can defend myself.—I know...but...I...it's the same.

It turns out that her uncle was being followed so Wednesday took him to Euguene's bee house where he would be safe. She made me promise that he wouldn't tell anyone about it. Obviously I accepted. She left her for a moment and I stayed with her uncle. She looked at the bees but I reminded her of her niece's warning. He nodded leaving one of them inside.

"It's tough huh," she said.-That?—She, she is toxic and poisonous like a snake—he looked around the place—be careful or you will die—it seemed that he knew the truth of my feelings.-I...

Wednesday came in and when he saw us, he asked and we said that nothing was wrong. Uncle was aware of the murder situation. After a talk of explanations and showing him a drawing that Xavier did, he told us that he was a Hyde, a very strong creature. And he added that there was a journal that could help us and it was in the hidden library.The weather had improved and we headed there. Wednesday was telling me something about her uncle and her family, they really were a box of surprises. It seemed strange to me to be able to talk to her so calmly, without letting go of any of her phrases in which she included torture, death or blood.I stayed close to them while Cosa opened the safe behind one of the paintings. There it was, the diary with all the information. They put him on the table and we found out that he was linked to a master. And that whoever wrote that about the Hydes was also killed by one since they were unpredictable and wild.

"Now we know something else," she said happily, "we just need to know who it is."The two of them would go to Jericho to take a breather, to Tyler's cafeteria. I was very tired and needed to rest. Wednesday he told me that it was fine, that I should take things easy.They marched together and I went to the room with Enid who was happy about her relationship with Ajax. She danced to the background music knowing that while Wednesday was gone, she could do it. We chatted for a while while I was lying down until I fell into a deep sleep.After a few hours I woke up and Wednesday was there writing.
