Of Woes and Shadows (Wednesday x reader)

Chapter 78: burning a witch (S2)

Author's note: very long chapter. 

Wednesday's pov:

After the one-on-one with her potential future father-in-law, the rest of the day went without a hitch. Thing and Atredis found some more books on the Vampire court's history, which she planned to read tonight while the welcoming ceremony went on. It would be the perfect timing to get far ahead in her investigation into your brother's death.

Rewatching her memories of her interaction with your father, it was clear he knew what she was doing and was going to keep getting in her way. Y/B/F/N better have gotten those documents and names.

Stopping in front of her dorm room door, she listens through the door to see if Enid's annoying pack was still in there. To her luck, they weren't. Meaning there would be peace for once in her room since Enid was going to attend the event.

However, said peace was shattered when her eyes fell on a large wooden box on her side of the room. Giving her flashbacks to the boxes she saw Dort haul through the halls the night she ran out of the orchestra room in fear of history repeating itself.

"Are you suffering from ptsd?" says your voice, drowning in concern just like the eyes she had dreamed of every night since she saw them die briefly.

"From Xavier-" she snatches the letter from Enid's hand, crunching it. Xavier...

Tyler wasn't the only thing that caused her to shove you in the current situation you were in. Xavier also played a role due to her foolishness in playing metal games that made you question her feelings for you. Making her wish something she thought she never thought she would want or admit to, which was wanting to return to the past to correct her wrongs.

"Wednesday?" Enid asks with the same concern you showed her last night on the stairs before your fiancée shoved her into the shadows. With a silent deep breath, she forces herself to return the letter to Enid. Enid softly says okay and reads the letter, once in a while interjecting her opinion or reaction, like on the fact that Wednesday had a phone and didn't give her her phone number.

The longer Enid read the letter, the more irritated she became, and she lunged at the box and tore it open to reveal a disturbing image of a crow. The crow had white feathers on its chest that reminded her of that one character you had a plushie, a hoodie, and a blanket of. Hell, you even had a motorcycle that was modeled after his with the name "Shadow" imprinted on it. So much love that she wouldn't be shocked if you even had a costume of the black and red character.

Nonetheless, the crow in the painting had a large scar that revealed its bright red muscles on its left side. The scar of a componyied by a large white eye that possibly meant it was blind. "The image flashed in mind, so don't ask what it means. But I thought it was connected to you since before the image appeared, I was thinking about....."

Enid gulps and skips that part of the letter, which the black haired girl was grateful for. "Who's Wednesday Addams without a mystery to solve, right? - Xavier." Enid sets the letter down. "A creepy crow on a headstone. What does it mean?"

"No idea," Which I don't like, thinks Wednesday as she scans the painting and creases her fingers on the smooth paint lines to trigger a vision. Her heartbeat began to blow her eardrums. If Xavier got a vision while thinking of her that would only mean that whatever or whoever the painting was referring to was someone who was clearly an enemy to both of you.

Someone who may play a role in trying to start the very war she was going to continue to help you stop from happening or begin a new fire that was equally dangerous. Whoever this crow is, they are clearly trying to get to me. But why is it that every time something that could start a war between outcasts and normies involves me being the trigger?
