Wednesday

Chapter 3: Complete

——————————🕷️——————————

Wednesday walked out into the forest, spotting the Skull Tree in the distance. He stopped by a nearby tree, and Thing crawled off his shoulder and onto a branch.

"Isaac thinks he can lure me out to finish me off." Wednesday placed a crossbow in front of Thing as Isaac stepped out into view, dragging Pugsley with him. "When you get a clear shot...put a bolt in his zombie brain."

Wednesday stepped in front of Isaac, carefully watching him.

"(Y/n) warned me you were formidable. And now I've seen the havoc you can wreak." He chuckled.

"Where is she?" Wednesday demanded to know.

"She's safe. Somewhere close by."

"Give me my brother and my girlfriend, crawl back into your hole, and stay dead this time." Wednesday spat. "I know what you did to my father."

"Yet I'm the one who died." Isaac argued. "Thanks to him, and your dear mother. Why don't you let your brother pay for their mistakes, and we'll call it even?" He suggested.

"You don't have the machine. Willow Hill and Iago Tower have been destroyed. It would take months to rebuild. By the time you did, it'd be too late to save your sister." Wednesday pointed out.

Isaac stepped forward, and as soon as he did, Thing fired the crossbow. It was heading straight for Isaac's face, but at the last second, he lifted his right hand up and the bolt impaled his glove.

Isaac began to laugh. "I applaud the effort. You keep me talking while your faithful right hand takes his shot."

Tyler suddenly grabbed Thing and stuffed him inside a plastic box, locking the top. "Gotcha."

"Except he's never been yours. He's mine." Isaac revealed. "Turns out your parents didn't kill all of me that night." He removed the glove off his right hand and dirt poured out of the glove, showing that Isaac's right hand had been cut off.

Wednesday glanced between Isaac's arm and Thing, his eyes widening in realization.

NIGHT ————-> THING

He scoffed. "Cute."

Isaac bent down and looked at Thing in the box. "Imagine my surprise when I saw my right hand wandering the halls of Willow Hill without me. And a DaVinci...is nothing without his right hand."

Isaac glared at Wednesday. "Your mother cut it off. Causing my machine to go out of control and explode. The power surge must have somehow animated my hand."

"Well, in your case, the part is greater than the whole." Wednesday commented.

Tyler opened the box, and Isaac grabbed Thing. Wednesday ran forward to stop him, but Tyler grabbed him around the throat and held him in place as Isaac forced Thing to be put back on his arm.

Once they were reconnected, Isaac was able to make a needle and thread float out of his pocket, and used his ability to stitch Thing onto his arm, completing his human form, and taking over Thing.
