Wenclair - After That Night

Chapter 10: An Eventful Semester

Wednesday's POV

"Well, it seems it's a new day at Nevermore." I say as I walk towards Enid. I sat on her bed, in which I now tolerate even more now thanks to her. I could get used to colour, I guess.

I looked at her. She was facing her bed, and yes, weeping. Personally, I've never seen her like this before. I've seen her upset and frustrated, yes, but not to a point that's...like this. I do NOT know how to comfort her, of course, or maybe she just needs someone to listen again. Like last time.

I took a deep breath and waited for her to calm down slightly before asking her. "Well? Who was it? The gorgon? The vampires? Come on, spit it out."

When I asked that, she looked up at me. She shows her, of course, hideous, crying face. Her face was even wolfed-out a little. Possibly because of her emotions, she didn't realize this. I didn't comment on it, of course, for the sake of the situation.

"Wednesday!" She calls me her voice sad and still weeping. She jumps onto me, now she cries on my shoulder literally. I would personally tell her off, but again, for the sake of the situation, I won't.

"It's cuz he wanted to stuff! And I just couldn't-!" She starts to explain her situation incoherently. For the sake of my sanity, I stop her. "Alright! Alright... No need to tell me. Just cry it out on my shoulder. "

She stopped when those words came out of my mouth. She hugged me tighter, and she just cried. Again. She cried and cried. Letting her emotions out.

Personally, I knew that she wasn't always happy, but this was another level. Her crying by the balcony last time was different, compared to THIS type of sobbing. What could've made her this upset, I wonder..?

The last person she was with last night was the gorgon. What could HE have done to make her cry like this? They were even DISGUSTINGLY affectionate towards one another, and this happens..?

Whoever did this, they shall pay for making this stupid wolf cry on me. They won't get away with this.

I looked at Thing, and it seems he already knows what to do. He starts to do various hand signs, 'I'm on it'. I nodded at his statement as he left.

I didn't notice this at first, but the wolf cub seems to have stopped its sobbing and has fallen asleep on my shoulder. Thankfully, she's a heavy sleeper, I can easily escape from this trap laid upon me.

I carefully placed her onto her bed. I look at her features as she's asleep. Her puffed eyes are very noticeable as well. She really cried a lot this time around, hm? If I ever find out who did it, I will have their head...

As I was about to stand up, the she-wolf shuffled and grabbed my arm in her sleep. This makes me fall back to the bed slightly, I groan and sigh at the situation I'm currently in.

I hear her groan slightly and snuggled even more on my arm. I looked at her, slightly annoyed, but at the same time finding it cute. Her features are very noticeable due to the rays of the sun gently hitting her face. It reveals her ruined makeup, messy hair, and swollen eyes. Despite all that, she's still as cute as ever.

I sighed gently and laid down beside her. I guess I'll let this little pup get her way for now. I can't let her become more upset. It'll be very, VERY unbearable if she cried on my clothing again. Her makeup's already all over it due to her sobbing, I'd rather not make it worse.

As I lay down, I see more of her features. She looks more appropriate despite the washed off makeup. I prefer her not to wear it anyways, she's still the same even without it. She does not have to put on some broken mask every now, and then.

I also find her bed very soft compared to mine. It's very...comfortable. It's not even a coffin, but it's comfortable. It's probably the fabric that's been made to be the same with that of my coffin back home. Regardless, this feels alright for a sickly colored bed.

As I contemplated and lay there, I didn't even realize that I had dozed off and fell asleep on the unusually comforting bed.

Thing's POV

I started to swiftly look for clues on the ceiling. Listening from one room to another, as I look for physical evidence as well.

Enid came in barging in the room crying today, early in the morning. I could see both shock and rage in Wednesdays eyes. It's surprising and refreshing to see her emotions. Maybe Enid IS the person she needs to evolve into someone who's a better version of herself.

I need to get clues quickly or even an answer. She'll have my fingers if I don't find any of those soon. She clearly cares for Enid in her own way, I mustn't fail. She's also my friend as well.

As I head to Ajax's room, which is the most common sense room that I will be checking. I already hear shouting. Which is odd, I never thought that Ajax would be the type to shout at anyone or get in a fight for that matter.

I get closer and check into a crack to see what was happening. It seemed to be Ajax, a girl that I had never seen before, and Xavier. Xavier seems to be scolding both of them.

"Seriously, Ajax? That was so not cool. She was letting you in!" Xavier says in a frustrated and disappointed tone.

"I know, I know I messed up... I fumbled! I know, dammit..." Ajax, who's now laying on the bed also disappointed and grunting.

"Not to mention she's best friends with Wednesday, now my shot is far off than it was before!" Xavier also says, who is very upset.

It seems Xavier has also taken a liking on Wednesday. I shall give him an honorable burial, he has a death wish alright. I don't think Wednesday will be going into any relationships soon because of what happened. It so seems that Ajax has also made a big mistake. But what?

I survey the room for clues, I only see it as messy. Food on the floor, popcorn scattered around with some drinks. The TV floating on the wall. I also see some of, Edin's undergarments, or well her bra on the floot.

It seems a movie night was commenced but was interrupted. Though it's most likely that they were making out, and Enid wanted sexual intercourse and Ajax has failed to reciprocate.

It seems I've seen the cause of the problem, and will now return with satisfactory. This sure will satisfy her correct?

As I crawled back, I see the two girls humbly sleeping on the same bed. Surprised by this, I decided to leave them alone and sleep on Wednesdays pillow. This will be a good eventful semester for all of us indeed.
