Wednesday

Chapter 7: A Losing Battle

——————————🕷️——————————

Wednesday and Morticia clashed blades, each trying to strike the other's glass heart, but both kept blocking their attacks.

"You're getting rusty, mother. I can practically hear you creak." Wednesday mocked.

Morticia just laughed, and continued to try and strike his glass heart. For a moment, they both backed away, Morticia stepping swiftly around a tree, trying to listen for Wednesday.

She stepped on a small stick, which cracked and heard Wednesday stab something into the tree trunk next to her.

She smiled. "Still bringing a knife to a sword fight?"

"You taught me everything I know." Wednesday said.

"But I didn't teach you everything I know." Morticia retorted.

She demonstrates by grabbing the knife Wednesday stabbed in the tree and throwing it at him, but he quickly dodged it. The knife hit the small table, almost impaling Thing.

...

Slurp stumbled across the camp grounds, grabbing an axe that was imbedded in a stump, and hobbled up some steps into a building that held shower stalls.

Gomez was in there, taking a shower and singing along to an opera song that was playing from a record player he set on the bench.

Because of this, he didn't notice the axe-welding zombie that had wandered in. Slurp came up to the wooden stall, and began hitting the door with his axe.

Gomez noticed the axe poke through the door and smiled, keeping his back mostly to the door. "Ah, the country air made somebody frisky."

Slurp stuck his head in the small hole he made in the door and unhinged his jaw, a long tongue slipping out and licking Gomez's back.

Gomez, thinking it was Morticia, sighed. "Ooh, ooh! You are a tigress tonight. Axe play."

He turned around and instead of seeing Morticia, he saw a zombie peering at him through a hole in the door.

"Woah! Woah!" He exclaimed.

Pugsley, Eugene and Agnes ran in to see Slurp bring the axe back.

"No Slurp! Not my dad!" Pugsley shot a bolt of electricity at the zombie, sending him flying through the back wall of the building and onto the floor.

Pugsley ran over to Gomez who peered his head out of the chopped hole in the door. "Woah..."

Students gathered around the zombie in the ground, curious as to what happened.

Principal Dort pushed his way through the crowd to see what all the commotion was about. "Let me through, let me through. What happened?"

Slurp stood up, and raised his axe, creating a mass panic.

"Go back to your tents! Back to your tents! Run!" Principal Dort yelled to the students.

They all screamed and scattered as Slurp hobbled off into the woods, axe in hand.
