The Little Girl Who Taught Us [Wenclair]

Unveiling Honesty

||This chapter is narrated from Wednesday's perspective||

As we made our way back to the academy, my mind was consumed by Lily. The incident with her had left me deeply unsettled, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it than a random attack. There was a shadowy figure lurking in the depths of my thoughts.

As we entered our dorm room, I closed the door behind us and turned to face Enid. I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to convey my concerns.

"Enid, there's something I need to tell you" I began, my voice serious. "Since the end of last semester, I have been receiving messages on my phone that are threatening, and since I arrived, I've had the feeling like I'm being watched."

Enid eyes widened with a mix of surprise and anger.

"What? You have a phone? Wait, and you have a damn stalker?! Why didn't you tell me any of this before?" Enid said

"I thought it wasn't necessary at the time. But now, after what happened to Lily, I can't ignore it any longer. I think the person who's been stalking me might be responsible for her attack." I said

"You thought it wasn't necessary to tell me you have someone who threatens your life? Wednesday...why? WHY YOU ALWAYS GO TO DANGER WITHOUT CARING? DID YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM LAST SEMESTER?!" Enid replied angrily

Her words hit me hard, and I felt a pang of guilt.

I lowered my gaze afraid to see her beautiful eyes showing me disappointment, out of the corner of my eyes I see Thing hiding under Enid's bed

Don't be stubborn! Be honest with her. It will be fine, it's Enid

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath preparing myself for all I was about to share.

"I haven't forgotten the events of last semester. They haunt my every thought and weigh heavily on my conscience. The nightmares that plague me serve as a constant reminder of the consequences of my actions. I'm tormented by the memory of Weems' sacrifice and the knowledge that it was my choices that put her in harm's way. And when I think of the danger you faced because of me, it fills me with guilt and regret. I never want to see you in danger again." I said

Keep going

"Perhaps I was a fool to keep silent about the stalker, but I wanted to protect you from danger and worry. I didn't want to burden you with my problems again. But Lily's attack showed me that my silence only led to more danger and pain. Enid, I'm sorry" I said as I felt my heart beating faster

You did good

"Wednesday...can you look at me?" Enid said

I slowly raised my gaze, meeting Enid's eyes once again. There was a mix of concern and affection in her expression, and it brought a slight sense of comfort to my racing heart.

"Wednesday, first of all, I'm sorry for saying that about last semester. I know you carry the weight of what happened, and your actions have shown me that more than words ever could. We've both been through so much, and we're still healing. I shouldn't have let my anger get the best of me. I understand that you just wanted to protect me from the stalker, but keeping me in the dark was dangerous for both of us. I'm here to protect you just as much as you're here to protect me. Lastly, thank you for been honest with me. I know that you think your vulnerability is a weakness but is not. I admire your resilience and your ability to face challenges head-on but we're in this together, and I want you to know that I'm here for you, always no matter what" Enid said as tears glistened in her eyes

Enid's words resonated deep within me. I felt seen, truly seen, and it was an overwhelming yet comforting sensation.

As we locked eyes and got lost in each other's gaze, a profound realization washed over me.

In that moment, it became clear to me that if there was anyone in this world whom I could trust with my vulnerability, it was Enid.
