Fight or Flight - Wednesday Addams

Chapter 35

The three roommates made their way through the woods towards Crackstone's Crypt Wednesday in front and Enid and Marley staying behind her, well Marley was with Enid because she knew the werewolf scares easily. Her point was proved when a branch snapped somewhere near them and her first instinct was to unleash her claws.

"You insisted on coming along." Wednesday commented as Enid brought her nails back to normal. "I was fine on my own."

Marley looked back at Enid when Wednesday made her way to the entrance. "C'mon on Sinclair, it's gonna be okay." She said, of course she knew what was happening and could tell that everything would be okay, so long as the others went along with the plan.

"Seems like our wannabe Deep Throat is already here." The goth informed.

"I'm sorry, who?" Marley whispered to Enid who replied wth a simple shrug before saying;

"Ew. What died?"

To which Wednesday replied with, "Smells like childhood. Come on." She finished giving no time for the others to react, just walking right into the Crypt, the plan was working.

"Second thoughts. Why don't I just stay out here?" Enid called after Wednesday, but it was no use, she had already shut the door in their faces, leaving them alone. "You know, as a lookout." She told Marley who chuckled slightly before hitting Enid's arm softly.

"Come on, E." She said before dragging the werewolf behind her by the hand.

"Enid? Marley?" Wednesday called out into the dark room, the only source of light coming from the very flashlight in her hand. She kept walking through the Crypt, inspecting everything she laid her eyes on.

The plan almost went south when Ajax needed to cough, as soon as he did so Marley slapped her hand over his mouth with an 'Are you serious?!' look in her eyes, before slowly taking her hand off the gorgons face when Wednesday threatened to take away their limbs if they tried anything. That was their cue to come out of their hiding place.

"Surprise!" They all cheered, before starting to sing happy birthday to the short girl who looked about done with everyone's bullshit. That's when Enid came around with the cake that she and Marley made for their roommate. Even Thing came out with a party hat on, when Marley spotted him she went over and put him on her shoulder so he had a better view of everything.

"I should have known you were behind this." Wednesday accused the hand after shining her light on him, as well as Marley, almost blinding her in the process. "What part of 'no party under the penalty of death' do you not understand?" She asked, Thing just 'sat down' on Marley's shoulder and started swaying his fingers.

"I thought my cake design was pretty inspired." Xavier spoke up, gaining Wednesday's attention, finally taking the light off of Thing and Marley.

"The pink balloon was my little touch. Why don't you make a wish?" Enid asked, pointing out the fondant balloon the Grim Reaper was holding.

Wednesday ignored her and looked back towards where Thing and Marley were standing, off to the side a little, before her eyes drifted away from the two towards something behind Marley, an engraving to be exact.

"Wait, it's Latin." She kneeled down to read it. "Fire will rain... when I rise." It read.

"Okay that's not really a wish." The blonde pointed out, Marley gesturing to her in agreement.

"The first part of that phrase was burned onto Nevermore's lawn." Wednesday told the group. "It can't be a coincidence."

"Wait, we're never eating that cake, are we?" Ajax asked, focusing on the more important things.
