Balter | Wednesday X.T

Chapter 8.

Nail File

Packing all the resources you needed to break Xavier out. But before you could go, Thing was there gaining your attention. Furrowing your eyebrows you stared at him. "Aren't you supposed to be escorting Wednesday?" You

Thing grabs the end of your sleeve and starts yanking you towards the fourth floor, dragging you to Enid's room. He opens the door abruptly. "Thing! Thing!" You yelled. "What's wrong?" He hops onto Enid's bed frantically trying to tell you something.

Enid says, "Slow down! What happened?"

Watching as Thing informed you what had come to happen to Weems being poisoned by Laurel. You stood there frozen. Enid puts her hands over her mouth. "Principal Weems." She gasps.

Ajax questioned, confused, "What the hell is going on?"

"What about Wednesday?" You asked. "Is she okay?"

"Tyler and Laurel took her?" Enid says out loud, freaking out. "Where?" She demands to know. "Crackstone crypt, what the heck?" She then becomes confused. "Who are the Nightshades?"

Thing then points towards you and Ajax. Both of you looked at each other. "I'll... I'll explain on the way." Ajax stutters out.

You grab Thing and you four begin making your way towards the library with Ajax explaining to Enid everything about the Nightshade confessing it.

Enid looks around the library. "I can't believe you're in a secret society and you didn't tell me." She expresses loudly turning to you and Ajax.

Ajax defends, "Because... you know, it's secret."

Seeing the other members making their way down towards you, hurriedly. "Bianca, Divina, and Kent? Seriously, even Kent is here?" She turns to Ajax. "How even exclusive is this club?"

Bianca lifts her arms slightly, "So, what's the big deal with Thornhill being a psycho?"

"Thornhill is secretly Laurel Gates." You start to explain. "And she plans to kill all outcasts, she already killed Weems. And has taken my sister to Crackstone crypt."

Enid then proposes, "We have to get everyone in the school to safety before it's too late."

Ajax then holds up a piece of paper that Wednesday had come to leave behind. 'Because this is what's coming."

Kent then says, "So do we pull the fire alarms?"

Divina rolls her eyes at her twin, "We don't want to cause a panic and alert Tyler or Thornhill. So how do we get everyone out?"

Bianca turns towards the both of them. "We'll use our siren song to convince them." She suggested. The three siren's pull their necklace off of them.

Enid grabs a hold of your hand. "Thing, Y/n, and I will go look for Wednesday."

Bianca nods her head, "Okay, Nightshades forever." You all besides Enid snaps twice.

Enid's mouth left wide open. "Seriously, a secret snap too?" She gives a harsh look towards the gorgon boy.

Running through the woods. Enid trips over. Bones snapping. "Enid?" You turn towards her worried. But once she looks up at you, you see her wolf side coming out. Half of her face changed. She starts freaking out repeating one line over and over again. She stands up, her hands morphing into one belonging to a werewolf.

She then howls into the night running off. "Good for her." You mumbled.

Thing tapped your shoulder and you looked over at him, seeing him point into a direction, you followed it blindly. "Where exactly are you taking me?"

Thing didn't respond. Instead he kept taking you deeper into the woods, both of you running. Scrambling to get to the destination.

Seeing red and blue lights. A cop car was parked there. You look down at Thing, "You sly bastard." You couldn't help but smirk.

Thing then scurries off knowing you had this handled.

Rushing towards the cop car, you pull the door. It being locked. Hearing the door open, Xavier turns towards you, jumping at the sudden sound. "Yes! Yes! Y/n!" He cheers.

You give him a soft smile, pulling out a nail file you started doing your work, picking the lock. After a few tries the door unlocks. "I could kiss you right now." He says with a wide smile.

You shake your head and begin unlocking the chains around his neck. Focusing on it. Sliding the nail file in, you also place a bobby pin, hearing those familiar clicks and ticks. Xavier watches you as you do your work. As you do, you explain to him, "Thornhill is Laurel Gates and she took Wednesday and killed Weems." He frowns. "The Nightshades are getting the students out before Laurel or Tyler can kill them. Enid just wolfed out." You began working on his hands. "And now I'm worrying about my sister who might be killed by the same woman that killed my parents. Worried that my last interaction with her was fighting." When that was done you both slid out of the car. "So now you're caught up and we need to make our way back to Nevermore."

He nodded his head and the both of you started to run towards the school. You just hoped to make it there in time to kill Laurel and save your sister from any further harm. You didn't want her dead. She didn't deserve it even if she did prefer such a thing.
