Wednesday's POV:

"Wednesday?" I hear. I open my eyes and see Tyler sitting in front of me.

Last night was a blur, but I think I got captured. "You're the master." He says as I look at him. He smiles and pulls something out of his pocket.

A syringe.

I gasp as I swing my arm to snatch it from his hand. As I hold it in my hand, I tackle him to the ground. I pin him down as he struggles and grunts. Slowly, he turns into the hyde.

I slam the syringe into his neck and press down on it, pushing the liquid into his body. The transformation stops as he turns back to normal, slowly going unconscious.

I pant as I step back from him. I frantically look around my surroundings to find an exit. I see a staircase and I run up it, skipping a step every so often.

As I reach the top, I run into somebody. Ajax.

His eyes go wide as he stares at me. Before he has the chance to do anything, I punch him across the face and run out.

I was in Tyler's house. This must be where I was taken. I need to get back to Nevermore.

——————————

I barge in through the door, scaring Enid out of bed. "Wednesday!" She exclaims as she runs over and hugs me.

I can't do anything but hug her back. I missed her.

"How long was I gone for?" I ask her.

A weird question but whatever.

"Like 3 days or something, I'm not sure. I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy worrying about you! Are you okay?" She speaks quickly.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Tyler captured me." I say and she gasps. I don't want to get into it, so I push her face to mine and kiss her.

She's taken aback but kisses me back. A long, sweet, gentle kiss is all I need. From my Enid.

Her warm lips turn cold rather quickly. Confused, I pull away and look into her eyes. Excuse me, his eyes.

I step backward quickly, looking at Tyler. He smirks and points behind a tree. I'm in a forest?

I turn around to where he's pointing and see a figure next to a tree. The figure walks toward me. He's about my height.

He approaches me and I look at his face. "Jason?" I say, confused.

"You like me, Wednesday." He says, stepping towards me with a smile.

I step back and shake my head. "No, I'm dating Enid," I say.

He pulls out his phone and shows me a picture. "This says otherwise." He says.

The picture has him holding my hand. What the fuck? That's not real.

"That never happened," I say.

He continues walking towards me. "Yes, it did. We're together. Who cares about Enid." He says as I feel my back press up against a tree.

His lips come near my face and I feel them against mine. I squirm in discomfort. I lift my hand and slap him. He stumbles backward, holding his cheek.

"Ow!" He yelps out in pain.

I turn away and run as fast as I can. I hear sticks breaking behind me and low growling.

I turn my head around to find the hyde chasing me. I run faster, but it's too quick. I'm pushed to the ground as I feel claws through my legs.

I scream out in pain and close my eyes tightly.
It hurts. It stops and I finally open my eyes. Where is it?

I look down at my legs to be horrified. They're scratched and cut up. I'm bleeding badly. I stand up, groaning in pain. It's too much for me to handle, I need to find help.

I trot in the woods, no idea where I'm going. I'm clutching my leg with my hand, limping as I walk. I flinch every time I take a step.

A weird taste fills my mouth. It's sour and disgusting. Usually, how'd I like my drinks.

But this time it's worse, maybe because I'm in pain. The taste gets worse as it flows down my throat. My stomach turns and my head throbs.

What's going on?

I fall onto the ground, rolling onto my back. The pain starts to slow, but my vision is blurry. My eyes are watering, I cannot keep them open any longer.

Am I dying?
