Wednesday pov:
Staring at the Galpin's plucked eye in her hands, she couldn't help but wonder what her eyes would look like if she decided to jump out the window this very instant, for the past four hours since she had awakened were nothing more but an extreme reminder on how last year she messed up her number one rule- don't be swayed by emotions. If she had listened, right now she would just be focused on writing her story and maybe avoiding Enid's death.
The constant reminders of how she threw herself into the dead center of the freak show were getting more annoying than the last. The current annoyance came in two shapes- a damn mute assassin with the Neopolitan ice-cream theme and the soul-stealing, heavily and badly edited photo of her and Evelynn being far too intimate!
Yes, the image was very obviously photoshopped, and people would know it was fake at first glance but it still annoyed her how steamy it looked! How her glare was turned against her! How it showed her entering a more sexual moment with her number 1 enemy rather than with you! Evelynn of all people! Hell, she hadn't even reached that point with you! Yes, she had sexual interaction with you, but you didn't take off her shirt! You only took off her pants and panties and slipped half of her shirt off to bite her, while the photo with Evelynn looked like it was going to go beyond that!
I'm going to enjoy killing you! She thinks as she continues to ignore Enid's questions about how she was feeling and what she saw in the vision. She didn't want to admit that the vision hurt her but like always Enid didn't help. The colorful girl was pouring how she felt about witnessing Wednesday's vision attack her. Each word only added more to the scale of justice within Wednesday's heart- a scale that was now broken since she entered Nevermore. A scale only leaned on the side of selfishness and pure revenge rather than selflessness and protection. A side she had ignored since she saw she couldn't protect anything- not even her pet scorpion from stupid boys who were only three years older than her back in her childhood.
Grandmama was right, emotions do hold us down; she places the eye in a napkin. Rejecting the girl's comments and concerns made her feel icky inside- like there was oil within her. Sticking and burning everything that touched it. While suffocating her brain with thoughts on how she was still a heartless person, for she was refusing another form of love. So heartless that her heart raged against it, slamming itself against the plush walls of her flesh like a madman in the asylum, shattering their sanity with each body slam, as they shouted to themselves to wake up from the nightmare. The nightmare of reality. She was once again denying someone who cared for her and it was someone she was also going to lose.
"You know, for someone who hates attention, you have a weird habit of attracting it," states Enid, whipping away the cherry jam that made Wednesday think she had failed to protect yet another life from the mess she started the moment she was practically born.
Could all of this been avoided if I hadn't been born or just simply never had come to Nevermore? She glances at Enid who was too busy lost in her own thoughts. The red drenching the white towel and the pale neck of the girl felt too real. Looking away she gave the blonde short answers to avoid her nose from picking up on her emotions. From what she learned, alpha's could sense others' emotions. Another annoyance for now there was one more person to add on who could now read her like an open book. You were somewhat more tolerable than your father and Evelynn.
"Well, seeing that you're back to your normal self, I know being popular goes against everything Wednesday-core, but for the rest of us who also saved the school it is a nice silver lining," said the blonde seriously.
"Then consider me your dark cloud," Wednesday gives her full attention to the werewolf who just perked up with a smile that was dropped when she read her text messages.
