Why do you want to get to know me?
"You were spying on me?!" You practically yell. Wednesday makes no attempt to explain herself but Enid fumbles over her words stepping towards you prompting you to step back instinctively
"I'm sorry. We're sorry. It was an accident!" She shouts back in defense, not aggressively but more panicked and worried as she dreaded your reaction.
"I- WHAT- This is too weird I-" you clutch the shirt in your hands, letting the fabric crease between your tensed knuckles as you start towards the door again.
"Y/N I have a proposition" Wednesday speaks abruptly, as if snapping out of thought, and the brazen tone she uses stops you from going any further. What could she possibly say that would help the situation right now? No wonder they are suspicious of you, making that phone call didn't make it any better and they had literally creeped on you from a closet! How the hell are you suppose to just let this go?
"A proposition? You spied on me while I was- you know that's not cool guys how did you even get there how did I not notice you?" Your voice trails off as you remember the last hour of time you spent in your room unaware of the prying eyes.
"We are incredibly skilled in being conspicuous" Wednesday says this with a hint of pride seeping out from the cracks of her blunt tone.
"Clearly" you sigh shaking your head a little in disbelief. I mean you didn't want to admit that it didn't completely freak you out because this is something that any normal person should have this reaction too... So you just continue with this course of action.
"We weren't trying to be conspicuous though, we didn't plan it!" Enid looks at Wednesday in matched disbelief. Honestly the thrill the Addams girl gets from stalking someone is a tad worrying but to brag about it like it was some master plan ...God she couldn't believe her girlfriend sometimes.
"Anyway as I was saying, I suggest we all move on from this" she puts it out there and for a split second you almost don't see the gravity of the situation and think the way she talks about it really minimises how you should feel.
Even Enid matches your expression giving Wednesday a puzzled look. How could you just forget about this? What could she possibly say that could stop the pure anger that was subtly building within you now?
Your thoughts are interrupted by the monotones of Wednesday
"We have apologised for spying on you" she says "You have apologised for hurting Enid" again you look away in shame, did she have to keep bringing that up like damn.
Wednesday continued as you drag your mind back the conversation at hand "I suggest we call it even and in return you will forgive us and I will halt all plans to end your life unexpectedly because of your crimes against my girlfriend" Wednesday makes a good point. Maybe this way you could start fresh almost. Yes it was wrong of them but at the same time it was wrong of you to nearly kill Enid on your first day. Seems like a good trade off
"Wow. That... That actually makes sense" you blink in surprise not expecting such a godsend and you smile lightly, recounting everything in your head. Weirdly enough, if you could all just forget about both incidents then maybe you could start building a foundation for friendship or at the very least have no qualms with eachother and not spend the rest of your days looking over your shoulders. You think you can do it.
Wednesday side eyes Enid, and smirks slightly at the puppy dog eyes she was giving her, clearly the wolf enjoys a little bit of violence in her honour. You could tell Enid was trying to contain herself from jumping her girlfriend's bones at the thought of her gerring all protective.
"Of course it makes sense I am a completely competent person with a proven track record for peacemaking" Wednesday let her face rise in another light smirk and Enid giggles. Did she just make .. a joke? Or is she serious?
You look at her quizzically
"Ok perhaps not the peacekeeping but that is what my Enid is for" you slightly giggle to yourself when Wednesday pets the werewolfs head affectionately causing her to raise her shoulders in glee, letting her eyes flutter shut at the touch of her mate.
The way she says "My Enid" and delicately trails her eyes lovingly towards her makes your heart melt and you nod
"Okay fine ..." You hold one hand out while the other still grips your shirt intensely " Truce." Quickly shaking hands with Enid, settling your emotions through meditation and earning a nod from Wednesday indicating she would decline your physical contact, you return to a less nervous state.
"Now... Can Wednesday still ... You know" Enid points to the surgical instruments and you sigh. Honestly at this point you have no choice you cant just leave so instead you say
"Yes thank you" and stand there awaiting instructions again.
"Lay on the bed" Enid motions for you to move, her tone was not demanding more a soft suggestion and you do as you're told.
You smile and lay face down, accepting the pillow Wednesday silently hands you and beginning to get more comfortable.
"How is your pain tolerance?" Wednesday asks as you hear the clatter of tools behind you. The sound urges you to twist your head around, curious as to what she was doing.
"Ummm fairly used to it" you say turning away again.
"Good" Wednesday says and you swear you can just tell she has some kind of sinister smirk covering her features.
"No not good why? Do you get into a lot of fights?" Enid asks casually pulling up a chair to the end of the bed to keep you company as Wednesday prepares her tools.
"Yeah you could say that" you let out a nervous laugh propping your head up with your hands placed under your chin for stability. It really baffles you how easy it was to get back to ... Well yeah normal is the right word you guess.
Enid smiles comforting you and says "Brace yourself" looking behind you apologetically.
"Huh?" You furrow your brow in confusion until "Fuck!" The word leaves your lips harshly as you grip the edge of the mattress in an attempt to ignore the pain you just felt as Wednesday jabs what feels like a burning rod into your scarred body.
"I thought you said you where used to pain" Wednesday asks removing the tool and awaiting your response
"Doesn't mean you can't be gentle with me damn" you breath in deeply and unclench your fists as you let the breath out.
"Just for my own safely are you a biter? You seem like a biter" Wednesday asks ignoring the fact she just cauterized your wound violently with some kind of chemical soaked tool
"Umm no" you reply, unable to pry your eyes away from the dripping rod. You're sure this isn't as safe as it could be. You should be at a hospital right now but instead you're laying on a bed with 2 girls you've known a day, letting them burn/ heal your wounds just so you don't bleed out.
"Good" she says firmly again. You observe Enid giving Wednesday a look you can't quite distinguish and although you don't see the look that was given back you laugh as Enid says .
"It was one time!" Enid complains as if this silent conversation they were having wasn't the first time they had discussed this.
"Hmm" you hear Wednesday make the sound and wince a little at the cold from her surgical instruments pressing into your spine.
"You know you loved it really babe" Enid winks at her Gothic girlfriend a heart melting smile paired with it and you can't help but chuckle yourself at her careless flirting.
"Do I even wanna know?" you quirk an eyebrow at Enid who's smile turned into a mischievous smirk and suddenly you settle feeling far more comfortable than you were 10 minutes ago.
"I'll tell you about it another time" she blesses you with a wink aswell and you're cheeks become lightly flushed with the thoughts that invaded your mind
"No you will not" Wednesday pipes up quickly.
"Kidding" she raises her hands in defense then mouths to you slyly "Not kidding" and you just take a breath and roll your eyes .
"Just a little bit of warning?" you ask Wednesday craning your neck to look at her "please?" added onto the end timidly and Wednesday nods again and you flop back onto the pillow
"Warning" she mumbles before jabbing a needle into your back this time starting to pull out the lackluster stitching. Lighter this time and more delicately thank god.
"So Y/N..." Here we go. Enid was clearly the question master while Wednesday remained the Surgeon cleaning and stitching up your bleeding back. "Where are you from?" She asks.
Oh that's an easy one, not too much information is needed here
"I'm from Europe" you reply, hoping she doesn't press for more details. She doesn't. Instead she continues happy with what little information you offer
"Family?" She asks and you can't help the flash of sadness that falls down your face
"No" you reply simply, casually almost ... Wait to not be suspicious.
"None at all?" She looks at you like it's abnormal to be an orphan or something. You knew you weren't. You had family out there. But they didn't want anything to do with you and considering the one "family member" you had was the cause of your current situation you weren't sure you should mention her.
"No" the way she looks at you almost makes your heart break .
"Warning" Wednesday mumbles behind you and you wince again as she starts on the second hole in your back.
Something in you kind of snaps and you decide you have to tell them "Well I have a godmother ...she raised me" if you give them just enough information about you maybe they'll become less suspicious of you.
"Was that the woman we saw earlier today?," Wednesday asks from behind you. Damn she connected those dots fast. You shake away the shock of realising Wednesday was actually listening to the conversation regardless of being occupied with her task and just answer
"Yes" replying solemnly. .
"So no siblings?" Enid continues and you feel Wednesday stop behind you, then you hear the stoic girl let out a breath.
"Enid darling that is usually what no family means don't upset them" Wednesday actually showing empathy towards your situation seemed out of character with all you knew so far so you can't help but feel somewhat honoured by her words. And as you trail your eyes towards Enid your heart breaks for a second time at her pained expression. She must have felt terrible for bringing it up. You can't stand to see her like this.
"It's okay" you practically vomit out the words harshly trying to stop the tears that threatened Enid's eyes from falling "I- well I grew up with other children around me but no they weren't my siblings". Your mind drifts off thinking about the programme. Other children just like you nothing but numbers in rooms, day after day experiments, fighting and abuse being the core memories of your childhood. .
"So like a group home?" Enid asks and you twitch a little as Wednesday continues her handy work
"God you ask a lot of questions" you opt to deflect that one because how do you describe the home ...house... Building...you were raised in.
The tragic tales of Godmother forcing you all to enhance and control your abilities by using eachother as test dummies and the horrid realisation that this is your life forever. Forever until nevermore that is. Thank god for Nevermore. .
"How else are we suppose to get to know you" Enid smiles. She really did just want to get to know you? There was something so wholesome about her demeanor but again that little voice in your head remained skeptical so you ask "Why do you want to get to know me?" You move to prop you chin up with your hands further, elbows resting on the pillow to see more of the werewolf girl.
"So we can be friends silly" Enid pats your head similar to how Wednesday had petted her earlier and pairs it with a little "Oop" noise which was by far the cutest sound ever to leave the lips of a human.
"You guys want to be my friend?" You ask and almost smack yourself silly for how desperate and weak you sounded.
"Enid does,I prefer the term ally" Wednesday speaks from behind you once again and you crane your neck to give her a half smile in response. She barely changes her face instead running anesthetic around your wound after shooting you a quick look.
"Sure but I am a very private person" you warn hoping this might urge them to lighten up on the police style questioning you were being subjected to.
"So was Wednesday when we first met, now I know all her dirty little secrets" Enid smiles widely again and giggles menacingly.
"Yeah but she's your girlfriend that's different" you raise your eyebrows and smirk.
"I prefer the term soulmate" Wednesday chimes in preparing the hot iron for the third hole on your back.
"Soooo why did you come to Nevermore?" She continues with her "Getting to know you" plan and you bury your face in the pillow as Wednesday cauterizes your third wound. You also note that that's not what she wants to ask you. She wants to ask what you are? What you did? What happened earlier? But here she is luring you into a false sense of security. Either that or she actually planned to stick to the deal of forgiving and forgetting the events. When you don't say anything Enid looks at Wednesday. .
It's still hard to focus with the light grazes of cold fingertips trailing down your back. As Enid stops questioning you your mind races as you become more aware of the Seers hands touching your body.
Luckily you have something else to focus your attention on and instead you're watching Enid again stare at Wednesday. It's as if they are reading each others minds or something but you calm down a little trying to pay attention to the beautiful blonde Infront of you instead of the stunning darker haired girl touching your back.
Stop it. Settle your emotions. Breathing exercises. You close your eyes. God these girls really bought out all these confusing feelings and it was not good for your... Gift .
Suddenly Wednesday presses into your cut and you immediately screech out a noise you have never heard yourself emit before,burying your face into the pillow as Enid reaches for you in concern
"My apologies" she murmurs as you bite into the pillow then your breath hitches in your throat as you feel her fingers glide up your back slowly ... This doesn't feel like she's stitching you up and you panic, what is she doing, that feels .... That's ...
""What are you-" you begin to ask but without warning she presses her full palm onto the uncut part of your upper back once again. .
The rush of feelings electrify your body, every muscle, every bone in your body seizes up and your head whips back as you feel yourself uncontrollable roll off of the bed. A swirl of golden dust surrounds the two of you ... It's happening again but this time it hurts like really hurts ... What is happening?! .
And then you see it.
Flashes. Images, drilling into your head with a migraine inducing force.
A vision of sorts rushes through your brain, partially distorted and yet painfully clear.
It's you
It's Wednesday, Enid and You. All 3 of you cuddled on a bed together. You look happy ... You look like ... You're in... Then suddenly nothing.
Darkness.
Abyss.
...
"Y/N!!!" The loud whisper rings in your ears "Y/N can you hear me?" The voice is drowned out, but your vision starts to return, the blurry figures of what you know to be Wednesday and Enid looming over you
"I told you not do it yet!" You hear Enid's voice, muffling but it's. almost like static is penetrating your ears.
"I don't know what happened Cara Mia this doesn't make sense, she should not have felt anything" the sultry tone of Wednesday voice is clearer as your ears regain their ability to hear coherently
"Y/N?" The voice buzzes again
"Urrrgh" you groan, your vision finally focussing and feeling returning your limbs, as you notice you are now situated on the cold wooden floor of their dorm room.
Ouch.
Continuing to squint and widen your eyes in an attempt to sort the feelings and thoughts that accompanied the impending realisation of what had just happened
And then...
You sit up suddenly connecting the dots, the head rush it was accompanied by, threatening to bring up yesterday's dinner. Wednesday is a Seer! And you stupidly let your guard down and piggybacked on a vision she obviously induced when she pressed onto your back.
Fuck.
