The Heir

BEST FRIENDS

Enid tried to push past the group almost completely ignoring her future self's presence. Before she can get away though, she's grabbed by her older self.

"Don't." Older Enid said looking her in her eyes seriously.

"LET GO OF ME, AJAX IS IN TROUBLE!" Enid screams struggling with her older self.

The distressed werewolf is pulled into the room by her much stronger future self, with everyone else following.

"NOO, I need to help him." Enid's efforts are futile but consistent.

Older Enid could only watch the girl struggling knowing exactly how she's feeling right now.

"Enid stop, please." The older woman pleads but Enid isn't listening. She can only hear Ajax struggling over the phone.

"Do you think you can hold her Xavier, I really need to speak with Wednesday?" Older Enid asks looking at Xavier pleadingly.

"Yea, of course." Xavier says wrapping an arm around Enid from the side.

Older Enid releases her and she attempts to quickly shake Xavier's grasp, but it's no luck. Older Enid steps towards the door looking at Wednesday who follows suit and they exit the room. Enid's struggle slowly starts to die. Only thing audible from her now are sniffles. Xavier looks down at the girls face to see her bawling. He can't help but let some of his tears out and squeeze her a little tighter.

"I'm scared too E, but he's gonna be ok." Xavier said looking hopeful at the girl.

His eyes drift towards Wednesday's bed where the kids are sleeping.

"She'd kill me if she ever knew I ever told but he's secretly Tish's favorite family member. She says he makes her feel normal... accepted."

Enid slowly looks up at Xavier her face a mess. Through all her pain she's still able to smile at the words from Xavier. She knew just how true it was.

"Tish and Vinny aren't just a glimpse at me and Wednesday's future, but you guys' too." Xavier said squeezing the girl.

Enid looks over at her sleeping nephew and nieces and smiles. The door slowly opens and Wednesday re enters the room.

"Xavier, give us a moment." Wednesday says looking at him seriously.

Xavier gives Enid one last squeeze before exiting the room. Enid looks up at Wednesday and when she sees her face she instantly becomes panicked. Enid knew something pretty awful would have to happen to disturb Wednesday Addams.

"Wednesday?" Enid asks almost desperately.

Wednesday only steps closer to Enid each step increasing the tension in the room. When Wednesday finally reaches her she stops. She looks her best friend in her eyes and can only let a tear fall from her eye.

"Enid, I'm so sorry. Your future self came here tonight to save Ajax because he was just killed." Wednesday speaks looking her in her eyes the entire time.

"What?! No that can't be right, what about our future together... we were supposed to be soulmates. Wednesday please." Enid said pleading with Wednesday as if she could fix it.

Wednesday quickly wraps Enid in a hug that surprises her, but she doesn't waste anytime hugging back and crying on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Enid, she said originally you bursted put of the room and by the time you arrived he was mutilated and once she realized she was too late to stop it she said she had to make sure you never saw what she saw." Wednesday responded back making sure to hold her friend tight.

"Don't worry Enid, I will find a way to bring him back." Wednesday spoke dead serious.

"How? You haven't even began learning time travel yet."

"Well I seem to be some expert at it in the future, because I would never allow my children to do it without mastering it one hundred percent."

"You really think you can do it Wednesday?"

"Failure is not an option." Wednesday said pulling back to look her.

Wednesday slowly grabbed Enid's hand and interlocked their fingers. She raises their joined hands so they can both see.

"We're best friends, no thanks needed." Wednesday monotoned.

Enid sniffled a little cracking a smile. "You're becoming such a softie."

Wednesday instantly released Enid's hand glaring at her.

"Continue to make a mockery of me and there will be another murder on this campus."

Enid snorted a bit while Wednesday only smiled from the inside.

"I love you so much bestie." Enid said give Wednesday a squeeze.

The noirette rolled her eyes moving Enid's hand. "No need to start behaving so grossly."

Enid looked at her knowingly. "You know you love me."

"It may be true, but I sure won't be saying it."

Enid let's out a laugh at Wednesday's words. She looks at her tears brimming her eyes.

"He's gonna be okay right?"

"I cannot and will not fail, you'll get your soulmate back, I promise." Wednesday said very seriously to the blonde.

Was this good?? Don't rlly know if I still have my touch with this book.
