Wednesday's pov:
"W-will she be okay??" asks Pugesly nervously, looking at Y/B/F/N, who was now lying on her bed. The bleeding had stopped.
Based on what she had inspected, it looked like one of the brain's veins had erupted. She wasn't dead luckily, but the pain must've been unimaginable to the point she fainted.
Atredis cawed, looking for roses to be thrown for the assault could've been worse if he hadn't placed a sigil on her like you ordered him to do to all your men.
"Bring me a bag of blood or a freshly killed animal," orders Wednesday. Her caked hands fiddled with the chess piece once more. Nibbling the ball at the top of its head. The innocent boy ran out of the room. Once he was gone, Thing slammed the door shut and threw Wednesday her notebook so she could take notes.
"Talk," her head glare burns into the crow. However, his ever-cocky demeanor lays casually on the bed and bends his wings behind his head as if her eyes were tanning lights. He even had the audacity to cross his legs and shake them impatiently as if he was waiting for a fruity drink at a tropical resort.
"I SAID TALK!," shouts Wednesday, pulling out a cross. The bird gave her a lazy glance before turning its head slowly away from her. Without a second thought, Wednesday chucked the cross- slamming into Atredis' head.
Knocking him off the bed and splatting him onto the ground. She swore she saw little stars appearing above his head. Thing took slow and quiet steps behind her desk due to seeing her tighten her fists. So tight that her body was shaking for she had reached her limit but was trying to tighten her grip more.
Luckily, the bird got up and tugged himself to her lap. Pecking her stomach, only to have her hand wrap around his neck and bring him up to her face.
With a nervous squawk and wings up in surrender, she puts him down with her gun pointing at him.
Through caws he explains: "When I first made a contract with Y/N she was very jittery about something. Not sure what it was but she asked I put protective sigils on all her men's minds. To protect them from harm- like madness and self-destructive reactions like the one you saw."
Wednesday sat up from the chair she had sat down on. Pushing the barrel's edge to her lips as she pondered. What made you suspicious of the king? Or could it been Evelynn?
"Did she know Evelynn by then? How far in the relationship?"
He cawed and puffed his chest. "Right when they had met. Girl was ass over heels or whatever that saying is! Not sure how long though- could've been a day or a week! Also, don't know if the really met- as in interacted with each other or they just saw each other as passbuyers! I know it took a while for Y/N to talk to her- her highness had to break the ice! But again I'm not sure how far they were when I entered- but they weren't dating yet! Or at least fucking- okay maybe mentally they were but physically I don't know!"
That ticked a nerve on her forehead. The desire to shot the bird kept getting harder to fight off.
Damn! It could be interpreted as her trying to protect those close to her from Evelynn before pursuing her. But also as her being scared of Cassius..... Tapping the barrel on her head, trying to scare a conclusion out of her inner brain to her consciousness. Or at least try to think of something, anything she had of the past that could give her a clue. A conversation with you? A random action you did? The history of the court (which she had been studying more fervently than ever).
"Who was the first demon she made a contract with?" The demonic bird shrugged, shuffling away. Sure the bullet couldn't kill him nor really hurt him but he was still terrified to the bone of her. Knowing her, she could have dabbed the bullet in holy water or gotten exorcist gear without him knowing to kill him and the others!
Pulling the demon by his puffy chest, she slammed his beak into her nose, forcing his red eyes to be swallowed by her abyss eyes. "Get the others here as soon as you can. I have a lot of questions."
Petting his head very gently with her cold fingers she whispers, "We're going to become very close friends."
Y/B/F's pov:
Although she had gained consciousness 3 minutes ago, she still couldn't bring herself to open her eyes. Her head felt like it had been smashed in a thousand mountains at a million miles per second while being ragged dolled.
But also because Wednesday was scaring the living shit out of her. Why are you into the crazy woman Y/N?! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
"Are you going to get up or keep acting like you're still unconscious?" she feels the coolness of the revolver on her head. "I need those files- now."
Is it too late to switch shipping teams?
