Wednesday

Chapter 7: In Memorium...

——————————🕷️——————————

Wednesday stormed off the stage grabbing his novel from (Y/n)'s hands.

"What the hell was that?!" Enid asked incredulously, following after him.

"I never agreed to this."

"So you're going to torpedo it for the rest of us? You're one of my best friends, but can you be a little less Wednesday? This is supposed to be our best year ever!"

...

In the middle of the forest, Pugsley had snuck away from the bonfire and headed to the skull tree, a shovel in his hand.

He reached a small hill that had a gnarled tree in the center, actually shaped like a skull. He smiled and walked up to the left eye, and put his head to the opening. His smile widened as he heard the faint ticking, but a bird suddenly flew out of the eye, startling him.

Pugsley fell to the ground, and as soon as his hands touched the moss, electricity shot out of this hands and crackled all around him. Once it died down, he let out a sigh of relief, which was short lived when a gloved hand shot up out of the dirt.

A figure crawled its way out of the ground, and stood up. A zombie, several feet tall wearing a torn and tattered lab coat and leather gloves stared down at Pugsley, most of his face dissolved and his flesh putrid and wrinkled.

Puglsey looked up at him and slowly started to smile. "He he."

...

"Wednesday, wait!" (Y/n) called after him as he marched into the quad. "Can you please talk to me?!"

Wednesday paused in his tracks and slowly turned to face her. It was just the two of them in the quad, (Y/n) insisting Enid stay behind to have fun while she talked to Wednesday.

"Do you think I went too far?" He questioned.

"Do you?"

He shook his head. "No."

"Then why are you asking?"

He paused for a moment before speaking again. "I know I'm difficult. Stubborn, and impulsive. I know I tend to do what I want regardless of the consequences to myself or others." He admitted. "But...I also care about you, and I don't want you to have to face the consequences of my actions like last year."

(Y/n) chuckled. "You mean all the times you almost got me killed?"

"Yes..." he replied. "I almost lost you, and I don't want that to happen again. I've been trying to consider you more before I jump into something, but I failed at that tonight. I was angry at the fact that someone tried to burn my novel, and then that ridiculous painting...I let my anger take control, and I didn't think about how burning it was going to affect you...I'm sorry."

"Oh Wednesday..." (Y/n) sighed.

"So...if you would like me to follow Enid's request of being a little less Wednesday...I can try to do that." He concluded.

(Y/n) smiled and began to laugh lightly. "Wednesday...if I didn't ask you to be less like you after all those times you nearly got me gutted by a Hyde, killed by a zombie pilgrim, or scalped by a serial killer, I'm not going to ask you to do it over a burning painting."

She stepped closer to him, so that they were inches apart. "I'm your girlfriend, which means I'm always on your side. And I love every difficult, stubborn, and impulsive part of you."

Wednesday looked down at her with admiration in his eyes. "Cara Mia..."

"Mon Cher..."

The two leaned forward and pressed their lips together, wrapping their arms around one another.

However, their kiss only lasted for a second before Wednesday's head flew back, and black tears started streaming down his face as he collapsed to the ground.

...

Wednesday opened his eyes and looked around, seeing him standing in the middle of a graveyard. Crows were flying all around him, cawing and flapping their wings.

He looked around, and spotted a familiar crow standing on a gravestone, a (f/f) in its mouth. He walked forward and looked down at the inscription carved into the stone.

IN MEMORY OF

(Y/N) (L/N)

BELOVED DAUGHTER, SISTER, FRIEND, GIRLFRIEND

As Wednesday stared at the tombstone, he could hear whispers around him.

"This is all your fault Wednesday."

"This is all your fault."

"I died because of you..."

He turned to see (Y/n) rush towards him and put her hands around his neck, blood rushing down her face.

"I died because of you!!!" She screamed.

...

Wednesday gasped and twitched on the floor of the quad, (Y/n) kneeling next to him in a panic.

"Wednesday!? Wednesday!!!"
