Enid's POV:

I wake up to myself lying in Yoko's arms. She's still asleep when I tilt my head upwards to check. For a second, I thought it was Wednesday. Then I remembered.

I can't believe she did that.

"She didn't do it out of spite, Enid. She was just mad. You probably annoyed her more and she just acted out." Yoko said to me when I was crying in her arms last night.

"I still can't believe she did that. I didn't do anything, I was trying to comfort her." I said through tears.

"Enid, you gotta remember. She always isolated herself from others, so she probably just didn't know what to do." She says.

I pull myself from Yoko's hold. Maybe I should forgive Wednesday.

I'm not sure yet.

I stand from the bed and walk into her bathroom. I wash my face and I hear a knock on the door. "Enid?" Bianca's voice says.

"Hold on. What is it?" I reply, staring at my bruised cheek.

"Come out, I need to show you something." She says as I hear her walk away from the door.

I huff and go outside the bathroom to find Bianca standing near the door. "Follow me." She walks out of the dorm.

I follow her, wondering where she's leading me.

Wednesday's POV:

I slapped Enid. I fucking slapped Enid. I can't believe I did that. Why the hell did I do that?

I acted out and hurt my own girlfriend. The only person I care about.

I drag the knife down my arm. I'm hurting. I'd get on my knees and beg for my cara mia to come back. I miss her so much. I fucking hate myself for doing that.

My blood warms my arm as it rolls down. Why am I doing this? This isn't helping. I need to apologize to Enid.

I don't bother cleaning or really taking care of my cut. Instead, I just wrap gauze around it and walk out of the bathroom. I looked over to the window, the exact spot where I sat while I cried.

I need to find Enid. I walk out of the dorm to head to Yoko's room.

She has to be there.

Enid's POV:

"Stay in this chair," Bianca says to me as I sit down in the chair.

I have no idea where I am, I don't remember anything, only following Bianca's directions. I feel painful stings all around my body. What is happening?

I feel my body fall out of the chair onto the cold, hard floor.

"You killed Xavier. See how you like it when I kill you!" Bianca yells in my face.

Am I dying? Is she gonna kill me? My head droops to the side as I sleep...

I think.

Wednesday's POV:

I knock on the vampire's door, hoping someone is there. The door opens and I stand there weakly. I think I fall over but I land in someone's arms.

"Oh my god! Wens!" I hear a voice say. I think it's Enid because of the nickname, but it's Yoko.

My vision becomes blurry, but I'm still awake. I lie on someone's bed as I hear someone scrambling around. A figure appears next to my head.

"What did you do?" The figure asks.

I feel the gauze being taken off of my arm as I look down to confirm. Is she helping me?

"Where's Enid?" I ask, weakly.

"Wednesday." The voice is firm. "What did you do?"

I think long and hard. Should I tell Yoko? It couldn't hurt... "I cut myself," I mumble.

"Why?" Yoko asks, wiping the blood away and cleaning my wound.

"I hurt Enid." I feel tears start to form in my eyes. "Where is she?" I ask again.

She shrugs her shoulders before neatly wrapping gauze around my arm. "I'm not sure. I woke up and she wasn't with me in bed."

So she ran to Yoko last night. Of course.

"We should go find her," I say quickly as I stand up from the bed. I feel a little groggily but I should be okay.

"Oh, yeah," Yoko says before gathering her stuff.

"Let's go."

Enid's POV:

Bianca left. I start to feel like I have more control over myself now. Earlier I felt as if I had no control over myself.

I use my eyes to look around, I feel lightheaded. I'm in the crypt?

I still can't move though, I feel numb. My vision is horrible. I think I'm going to pass out again.

I feel a strong presence. I don't know who though. Someone is coming for me.

——————————

Wednesday's POV:

Me and Yoko split up. She's going to search Nevermore while I search Jericho and the woods. I decided to check the woods first since it's easy and not a lot of buildings.

But as I walk between the trees, I feel a strong presence. Like something's near. What is it, though?

I approach Crackstone's crypt, the presence getting stronger and stronger as I come near it.

Is Enid here?

I hope she is, I need to make sure she's okay. I open the large doors and get blasted by a gust of wind. I carefully walk into the crypt, aware of anyone who tries anything.

I creep around his tomb until I see a body on the ground. It's colorful.

"Enid?" I yell as I run over and kneel next to her.

She's not awake. I check her pulse to make sure she's alive... she is. I catch something out of the corner of my eye.

Her phone. I crawl over to get it, scrambling to unlock it. Face ID? What the hell?

I turn the phone to Enid's face, hoping that's how it works... and it does.

I phone Yoko, telling her to get over to the crypt quickly. Also, I told her to call the ambulance while she was at it.

God, Enid. You'll be okay. I promise you.
