Enids POV

The 3rd letter arrived surprisingly quick actually.
It says she wrote it on December 7 and now it's December 8th.
If I want one thing for Christmas it's that we can spend it together, wherever we are.

I've made a plan.
A good one id say but wens wouldn't consider it safe enough.
But it will work.
I swear on me seeing her again.
Okay so,
I'll go there, alone, at the said time.
BUT, I will have a firework dust rocket thing, which Yoko taught me how to use, and I will fire that if I'm in danger.
Then, some of my brothers will come and we'll be safe.
I just wanted some more privacy.
I can't wait to see wens again.
I just want everything to go back to how it was, her snobby attitude to anyone except me, her gentle yet needy small touches and kisses, her awfully romantic gestures...
I could go on.
They are probably the only things keeping me going.

December 9th. Tomorrow at 3 am I'm seeing her.
Not even 24 h.
I wonder what she's doing right now.
How is she keeping track of time?
Knowing her she can track sun patterns or something.
Yoko comes in.

„Your ready to do this?"

„I don't know Yoko. What if I can't bring her back with me? What if i can't figure out what's connecting her?"

„You know she's alive. That's good enough."

„What if she dies trying to escape with me."

„Enid, I promise, it will work out. If you overthink it it will go wrong."

I look at Yoko and she comes over to give me a hug.
After my frantic pacing in circles I'm dizzy.

10 pm. I can't sleep.
I set an alarm for 2:30 am so I can get out the house extra early, so there's nothing to worry about.
Yoko said I should get an early night, but maybe I should stay up just a bit longer.

11:30 pm.
Still can't sleep. I'm overthinking it.
I know the whole school is also on alert, there's multiple people keeping watch, all that I can see Wednesday again.
Well, also that i stop the scientist and Tyler but my main goal is to see Wednesday again.
I sigh and turn again.

[TIME SKIP]

1 am.
One and a half more hours.
I can't do this anymore.
I get up and walk in circles for a bit, then go take a shower and dry my hair. By the time I'm done its only 1:30 am.
Another hour.
I scroll mindlessly through TikTok but 10 minutes feel like 2 hours.
I try to read but can't absorb anything.
1:45 am.
I go on my phone again.
Time is passing so slowly.

[TIME SKIP]

Finally.
My alarm rings but I'm already awake,
obviously.
2:30 am.
As fast as I can I slip on my shoes, and my warm winter jacket and hat.
I run outside.
My brothers are standing outside, and I think for the first time in my life I am thankful for what they are doing for me.

Almost out of instinct I choose what ways to go and I only realize where I am when I am right in front the gates mansion.
I'm there.
2:47 am.
I should probably hide, just in case someone else comes out.
I run behind the biggest tree I can find and slightly look back.
For 10 minutes nothing happens.
Then she comes out.

For a second I can't move.
She looks the same, just that she's wearing all white clothes.
Her hair in two braided ponytails.
Her eyes are the only thing different about her.
Not curious or cautious but scared and kind of... insane.
My Wednesday.

I run out of my hiding spot and towards her. She sees me and her eyes just widen.
I run and realize I start crying.

When I reach her I pull her into a hug.
The biggest hug I've ever given.
„Enid...?"
She asks.
Her voice is breaky as she says it.
„Wednesday it's me. It's me. Enid."
She look up.
She's also crying.

Then she kisses me.
First gently, just slightly touching our lips together.
She breathes in and I close my eyes.

Then, she kisses me again.
Her arms rap around my neck.
The kiss is still gentle but so needy.
It's like if someone hasn't eaten in days and you give them a plate of food.
She gets even closer to me, not stopping for a second.
I Put my hands around her waist, just kissing back gently for now.
Her lips are finally back on mine, her body back in my hand.
She pulls away for a second, red and out of breath.

„Wens I-„
„Enid, I don't think you understand how much I've missed you. How obsessed I am with you. I've realized through these awfully long days we've spent apart how connected my life is to yours. Just another day and I would have lost it. Your like my food source, my life source. My everything. The knowing that we're alive and breathing the same air as me was the only thing keeping me kind of sane. I have come to acknowledge that I can't live without you. Ever."

She gives me this paragraph unexpectedly.
She had said so little that I didn't think she could speak so much at the moment.
But she did.
She steps back.

„But, you have to go. It's unsafe to stay longer and I cannot afford anything happening to you."

„What? Wednesday I can't leave you again."

„Enid. I had told you in the letter, you can't take me with you. If I overstep that line,"

She points to a line a little away from me, that I didn't even notice.

„I die. I can't come with you."

She look back to me, with her beautiful haunting brown eyes.
They haunt me to stay with her.
They haunt me to stay.

„No, I'm not doing this again. You can't do this to me again, you can't. Do you know how horrible it felt when I left you the first time. I can't leave you again."

„Enid, I had told you. There's nothing we can
do."

„Do you even know that?! Do you? What if there's a way? I'm going to try my find something out, and you can't stop me. I don't care."
