Everything hurt. I was walking slowly through the woods to get back to nevermore. I saw a group a people standing outside the nevermore gates. Seems like Ajax told the nightshades to get everyone out the school. Good. You can see the school on fire in the background.
Ajax ran up to me and wrapped him self around me. I wanted to tell him to not, but he beat me to it. He seemed like he needed it, he looked so worried. He helped me walk back to the crowd. He had his hand on my back, I wanted to tell him not there, that Ty- the Hyde cut me there. But I didn’t. I did try to shrug his hand off, but he persisted. I don’t know why but his touch seems so wrong.
We walk to the group and everyone looks so scared. We walk to the front where the rest of the nightshades are. All of them except-
“Where’s Wednesday?”
I haven’t seen her since I wolfed out and was fighting the Hyde. Why does everyone look so sad. Where is she
That’s when I saw 3 figures walking out the burning quad. The middle one was limping and looked really hurt.
Before I could stop myself I left Ajax’s side and was sprinting to the figure. I finally saw her, she was ok, she was alive.
I ran to the figure and almost tackled her onto the ground because of my hug. I quickly pull back since I know that she doesn’t like touch. But before I could take a step back she hold me there to look at my face.
I Can see the glossy look in her eyes, as if she was about to start crying. And I know she can see my eyes already full of tears threatening to flow out.
Then she pulled me back into a hug. I didn’t think this would ever happen in my life.
“You’re alive” she said with a broken voice.
“ You are too” I said after her.
We are just standing there right outside the gates of the burning down Nevermore. A crowd of teenagers standing around us.
Wednesday’s head on my shoulder and mine on hers.
“I love you, Enid, I always will” Wednesday said as I feel tears on my shoulder. She now turned her head so her eyes were directly facing my shoulder. Probably to shield her face from the students all staring at us.
“ I love you too, but don’t ever do that again” I say. “ I can’t lose you”. now with tears falling on her shoulder. “ You’re the love of my life, I can’t lose you”.
I think some of the people noticed we were crying into each other shoulders. Thank god for Bianca. She and the rest of the nightshades got the students back to the dorms, that luckily did not get damaged in the chaos that happened here.
We stopped crying and we’re just leaning on each other. Holding each other there as if we would disappear or die if we let each other go.
I pull back to look at her, staring straight at me. I cup her face with one hand and with the other I pull her waist closer to my body.
I look at her with anticipation, I wait to see if she pulls away. When she doesn’t I lean in closer and kiss her.
This kiss was… it wasn’t like the ones I had with Ajax. This was an amazing one. This was one with my love. This was one with my mate. This was on filled with love. Not pressured.
This kiss was from Wednesday.
