Wednesday's POV:

I am finally back from helping Kent and Divina, it took way longer than I expected, I wrote to Enid that I'd be back by breakfast, but clearly, I was wrong. I turn the doorknob to our shared dorm and open the door, walking in, it was empty, so I guessed Enid left for breakfast. I closed the door behind me and walked over to my desk, setting my bag onto my chair. Thing crawled out of it, as I've taken him with me for the project Wow, we took so long He signs, as I nod "Yes, we did take quite a long time. I didn't expect that" Are you gonna go eat breakfast? You could join Enid, if she's still eating "I'm good, I'm not that hungry yet" he gives me a thumbs-up, as I sit down on my chair. Suddenly, I feel a vibration in my pocket, my phone. I take it out of my pocket and turn it on, a notification from the Unknown displaying on the screen, yet again.

I click on the notification, this time, there's a picture. A picture of me and Enid kissing from last night. I frown and stare at the photo, the angle made it look like it was taken from our balcony, I turn my head to look at it. There was no way to get up there without entering the dorm first, I stand up and walk over to the window, walking out into the balcony. I look around to see if there's any way of climbing up here, but I find nothing.. There is absolutely no way to get here without entering the dorm, so how did Unknown manage to take that photo? Then, something caught my eye, a red scarf hanging on the tree in front of the railing. I walk over to it and yank it off the tree, examining it. What is it? Thing asks, as I stay quiet for a moment "I think this belongs to my stalker, I don't see the reason why anyone else would have climbed up here"

I walk back inside the dorm and set the scarf on my desk, I look at it again, scanning to see if I can find a clue on who my stalker may be. After not finding anything, I open the drawer and carefully set it inside. My eyes lay upon the scissors I've used before, feeling a weird feeling in my stomach, like an urge to do it again, to cut myself again. I quickly close the drawer and look away, trying to get rid of the urge to relapse, I take a deep breath and calm myself down Are you okay, Wednesday? I nod "I'm fine, don't mind me" I mutter, grabbing my phone to reply to the Unknown.

Wednesday: How did you get that picture? Tell me who you are, or I'll find out myself and if it happens, I can't guarantee your safety.

Unknown: Why would I tell you who I am? Addams, how can you be so dumb, do you really think I'd just tell you? Come on, use your brain.

Wednesday: What do you want from me? What is the purpose of stalking me?

Unknown: You really wanna know? Sure thing. Let's just say, I want you dead and I won't stop stalking you until I can taste your blood on my blade

Wednesday: And what if I report you to the police?

Unknown: Your little wolf will suffer. Get police involved and I'll torture her till she dies in my arms

I stare at the message, feeling anger building up inside me. I hated that they had to get Enid involved. She didn't deserve this, if this stalker is after me, why would they include Enid?

Unknown: How about a deal? I'll let you and that pathetic wolf live, if you give me Crackstone's ring.

Wednesday: I don't have it.

Unknown: You know what punishment there is for lying? Don't lie, Wednesday, you have the ring.

They were right, I did have the ring, but why would they want it?

Unknown: I'll give you 3 days. Once you're ready to give it to me, meet me at the library. If you take longer than 3 days, I'll kill your wolf, then come after you.

I knew I had to do something, they wanted the ring and I had to give it to them to guarantee Enid's safety. I had it in my drawer this whole time, but what will happen if I give it to them? Why would they want a dead pilgrim's ring? There were so many questions in my head, but my thoughts were interrupted by the door suddenly opening, as Enid and Yoko walked into the room, giggling. I feel my face relax, as her presence fills the room. "Hey, Wednesday!" The lycan smiles, as I nod "Hello, Enid, Yoko." I say to the both of them "I brought you some breakfast if you're hungry" Enid says, as she hands me the paper bag she's been holding this whole time. I thank her and grab the bag from her hand, setting it down on my desk, where Thing is "You don't mind if Yoko stays here for a bit, right?" She looks at me with her beautiful, blue eyes, my gaze stays stuck onto them, as they were absolutely mesmerising to look at

"Wenny?" I snap out of my trance and nod "Um, yes, I don't mind" I don't know why, but her little nickname made me a bit nervous. I probably looked so stupid just now, I put my lips in a thin line, walking over to my desk and sitting down, as I open the bag and look what's inside. I take out a small container, which consists of a salad and a steak, a bit weird for a breakfast, but I was still grateful that she thought about me and brought me something. I open the container and grab the fork that was inside it, as I start to eat. "How is it?" I hear the wolf ask from the other side of the room, I don't answer for a moment, chewing up the food I had in my mouth. "It's good" I reply in a quiet tone "It's a little unusual for breakfast, but I hope you don't mind" she then went back to talking with Yoko

Shortest chap yet😓
