The Raven - Wenclair *Complete*

Family Matters

(A/N Okay, I did some research on the ages of all the Addams siblings. And it was severely unhelpful. So I give you guys 16 year old Wednesday, 12 year old Pugsley, and 4 year old Pubert. Based on Addam's family values, where Wednessay is 13, when Pubert is born. Thanks)

Enid's Thoughts:

Enid was pacing just outside of Wednesday's room. She needed to talk to her desperately. She needed to tell her what she'd just come to realize. Enid was terrified. She wasn't really sure what she wanted to say or how she'd feel when Wednesday shut her down.

Could she even handle being rejected?

Enid was pulled from her thoughts as a loud bang was heard downstairs. Then, a chorus of laughter rang up the stairs.

Who was here? Enid had been staying with the Addam's family for a little over a week now. Although she'd been caught up in her own mind or on walks with Wednesday.

Morticia and Gomez always left the two girls to their own business. Enid wondered about that now. They'd said nothing when Enid started staying in Wednesday's room.

Morticia specifically always had a special way of looking at Enid as they passed. It confused her.

Another loud crash was heard, and it caused Enid to move from her place at Wednesday's door, her realization pushed from her mind.

Enid reached the top of the stairs case, and to her surprise, Wednesday was already downs stairs and... grinning from ear to ear?

Enid couldn't help the light gasp from escaping her lips. She didn't have to wonder long what the cause of the smile was.

Wednesday must have felt her presence because she looked over quickly and gestured for Enid to come down.

Wednesday hushed the two boys and ordered them into a straight line, such oldest sibling behavior Enid thought to herself.

"Enid, this is Pubert, my youngest brother, and you know Pugsley, the other one." Wednesday said and shot a glare towards Pugsley. Enid thought their relationship was adorable after she'd seen Pugsley at family day.

"I didn't know you had a second brother Wednesday." Enid said, tilting her head at the youngest Addams boy. He was just over 3 feet tall, already nearly as tall as Wednesday's height, and Enid had to stiffle a laugh.

"Yes, well, Pubert is only four, so he stays home with Grandmama most of the time. He is also a little pest." Wednesday was clearly already annoyed at the return of her brothers.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you two, but why am I just now meeting you guys?" Enid asked. She couldn't have been oblivious enough to miss two clearly loud boys, could she?

"That would be my doing. I've had the boys for about a week. Going on daring adventures, right boys?" A voice said from behind Enid, he sounded rather squeaky.

Enid turns, and her eyes grow wide at the oddly shaped man before her, bald as he was, and his eyes look as if he'd been through a little too much. Too much of what, though, Enid didn't know.

"HI! I'm Uncle Fester! I dont believe we've met. You seem very lovely, though, based on all your colors!" Fester moved to shake Enid's hand, and she smiled at him.

Well, he sure was the opposite of what she'd come to expect. Yet still, he was pale as could be and wearing all black, interesting.

"Fester, could you not have kept these two rodents any longer?" Wednesday asked after a moments pause. She was still glaring at her brothers, who had begun running around to the main room.

"Sorry girlie, I've gotta head off, can't stay in one place too long, remember?" Fester said back with a smile." Wednesday was not having it.

"You robbed a bank again, didn't you?" Wednesday deadpanned. Enid could hardly believe what the dark-haired girl said. A bank? Robbed? Man, her head was spinning.

"You know me so well." Fester laughed. He grabbed his hat and went to find Gomez to say his farewells.

Enid watched him walk out, mouth hanging open. This family just got weirder and weirder.

"Don't be alarmed. He won't be caught. If he is, all he has to do is claim insanity and he goes back to an asylum. He likes confined spaces." Wednesday says from beside Enid, clearly misreading Enid's concern.

"He just robs banks, and you are okay with that?" Enid asked she was completely dumbfounded by this information.

"Well, no, of all places to rob, I would not choose a bank. The money is too often tracked." Wednesday says she was clearly becoming bored with the conversation. Maybe she knew Enid would never really understand her family and their outlandish activities.

"Yes, obviously, that's the problem with bank robbing." Enid huffed out. She shook her head and heard yet another crash.

"Are they always this loud?" She asks, effectively changing the topic.

"Unfortunately, yes, it puts a damper on my writing time. Will their noise be an issue for you?" Wednesday says then asks as an afterthought.

"No, it kind of feels more like home now." Enid smiles. She couldn't wait to see what the two boys got into.

She was also a little terrified, honestly. She swore she just saw Pubert chasing Pugsley around with a tiny mace and not the spray kind.

Enid was so focused that she almost missed what Wednesday said next. Almost.

"Good, because this is your home." Wednesday abrumptly turned on her heels. She walked off to yet another unknown room of the house. Enid still hardly knew about every room the mansion had.

It was then she remembered she had something to tell Wednesday. She snapped her head to where Wednesday had walked. She let out a small whine when she saw an empty hallway.

Why was Wednesday so good at disappearing and reappearing.

Enid walked into the main room where yet another crash had just happened. She finds the two boys rolling around on the ground. Laughing up a storm.

She still had so much to learn about Wednesday's family. Her prospectent mate's family. She smiled at the thought.

This could be her family.

(A/N I do remember that Enid met Pugsley at the start of the book but not like properly so. Don't look at the discrepancy)
