Wednesday and I stepped forward onto the deck seeing Pugsley sitting there

"Go away" he told us just as got closer "you forgot your fishing gear" Wednesday says as we say on opposite sides of him

"Story trying to be nice. It doesn't suit you guys" Pugsley said as I chuckled

"And stop being sad.. it doesn't suit you either" I said as I put both of my hands on the side and looked at the view

Nature was pretty at times like these

"Father packed your favorite bait" Wednesday said looking forward bring up our father into the conversation

Pugsleys hands and eyes moved as I gave him a bomb which I knew him and father always used

He smiled at the sight as he picked one up but thinking about father again his mood changed

"What will happen to him now?" He asked us which I didn't really know this case can only go two ways we get father out or he stays in jail

"Well he has confessed so there won't be a trial. After he's sentenced he will be sent to a state penitentiary where he will lose his mind being separated from mother." Wednesday said as we listened

"Love makes you crazy" i whispered as Wednesday went on "did you know they haven't spent a night apart since they tied the knot?" She told us

Pugsley shook his head " I always thought I'd be the first one in the family behind bars."

"We had a bet going with lurch." I said as he looked at me

"Come on. Let's see if the fish are biting." Wednesday said as Pugsley pulled the trigger and threw it into the water

As the slash was made fish started rising up "that's quite a catch" I told him as I looked at him and smiled

"I'm gonna miss him, I can't stop thinking about it" Pugsley said with a worried tone

"It's not over yet. He's innocent." Wednesday told him

"Well, if anyone can figure out who really committed the crime it's you guys. I mean let's me honest Y/n is good at DNA test and stuff like that and you Wednesday you are better at finding information I mean put you two together you guys could probably solve crime that hasn't been solved. You have to find out the truth and free dad." He told us he was right Wednesday and I make a good team

"Well, until that happens, we all know mother will be falling apart." Which means we have to be strong. And by "we" I mean you." Wednesday told him and he slowly turned his head back ti the pond

"Now give us one of those" I said as he smiled and placed one in both of our hands and we threw them

"Where is mother anyway?" I asked "she said she wanted to be alone." He responded "somewhere where no one would find her

Wednesday and I started walking down the staircase leading to the hidden library I was walking in front of her "hello mother" I said as she looked at me and then Wednesday behind me

"So you girls are nightshades?" She asked us as we talked towards her "I am I know that there is a lot of stuff I can find out so why not" I said with a quick smile "well that didn't take long" mother told me

"And I rejected them" Wednesday said "why because I was a member?" Mother asked her

"I'll never live up to your legacy here, so why try?" Wednesday said

"And I'm making my own" I said as I started walking over to the bookshelf leaving the two too talk

"I win the poe cup, you claimed it four times. I join the fencing team, you captained it. Why would you send us somewhere we could only ever exist in your shadow?" Wednesday asked her

"It's not a competition, Wednesday."

"Everything is a competition mother. But mostly I rejected them because they're a trivial social club."

"We used to be so much more. Our mission was to protect outcast from harm and bigotry. In fact, the group was stared by an ancestor of your fathers from Mexico. One of the first settlers in America." Mother told us as I thought about it

"Goody" I answered and walked over to the two mothers face changed "I saw her painting at Pilgrim World." Wednesday told her

"Oh."

"How ironic, since she was the one who killed Joseph Crackstone. The nightshades were her secret, but dealt, answer to his oppression. I know why you have come here, Wednesday so go on. Ask." Mother said even tho she knew what Wednesday's next words were gonna be

"Father didn't kill Garrett gates, did he?" Wednesday's asked

"No"

"You did but he took the blame to protect you" I said as she looked at me with teary eyes

Mother POVBy the time I made it up the stairs I found Gomez fighting for his life. It terrified me

"Garrett, no!" I yelled as I started walking over to the two hot tears steaming down my cheeks

They were both struggling to fight one another

"Garrett!" I yelled out again hoping he would stop

"Garrett stop! Leave him alone!" I yelled even louder the love of my life was going to die if I didn't do anything

I'll never forget the way he looked at me. He was even foaming at the mouth.it was like I was staring into the eyes of a rabbit beast.

With no thinking I grabbed the sword as Garrett made his way towards me not only knowing I killed him

I was in fear and shock at the same time

Standing there in fear Gomez grabbed the sword out of my hand and pushed Garret away from me

Gomez was out of his mind everyone was one blink of an eye Garrett had falling of the unconstructed area with went down one story

All I heard was a bloody scream

I know how realized what I had done Gomez was so calm and brave.

"Tish, you need to leave right now.  Go to your room and lock the door. You were never here. You understand me? " Gomez told me even tho I was speech less and wasn't saying anything

"Morticia?" Gomez yelled as I opened my eyes "put this back on the table" Gomez told me as I did so

I gave him one last kiss

Y/n POV

"Your father took the blame in order to protect me." Mother told us with her eyes teary "I was so grateful when they cleared him of any wrongdoing. But I knew... someday this would come back to haunt us" mother finished

"You said Garrett was foaming at the mouth . His eyes didn't look human." I said putting all the clues together and walking towards mother

"I've never seen someone so blinded by rage." She told us

"Maybe it wasn't rage at all" Wednesday said behind me as she started walking toward us and I nodded

"Foaming saliva, dilated pupils, mental confusion what do all of those symptoms add up to" I said with a slight smile

Mother gasped as she put them together

"But how can that be?" Mother said as she looked at us both

"There's only one way to find out." Wednesday and I said in sync.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Word count :1238Edit November 3,2024
