Chapter Text

Wednesday woke up with her mother’s eyes on her. Before Wednesday could ask anything Morticia signed ‘apparently you’ve been going deaf for the past month.’ Wednesday grimaced and signed back
‘It was tolerable till the explosion’ Morticia immediately responded ‘Wednesday, when Tyler threw you out the window he fractured your skull. They did not catch the fractures to both your eardrums, which have only grown worse. You needed surgery’

Wednesday immediately sat up and voiced “enid-“

Morticia signed ‘your friend Agnes and fester are looking for her. You may join them once you are discharged’

_

Wednesday moved through the motions.

She got hearing aids.
She got her stitches removed.
She got medication.
She got glasses for reading, which she especially hated.
And she finally got discharged.

So now she was packing for her trip to meet fester and Agnes. She had Enid’s phone and that is how she’s kept in contact.

Her mother entered the room, her footfalls changing the vibrations under Wednesday’s feet.

“Hello mother” Wednesday said.

Morticia smiled, Wednesday saw it just as she turned. “You have gotten good at telling when someone walks in”

“What do you need?” Wednesday asked, as her mother finished signing her words.

“I wanted ti make sure you are comfortable with your hearing aids before your journey” she signed.

Wednesday looked to where they were charging. she had gotten two different types. Found that having one of each worked best.

“I am comfortable mother.” Morticia gives her a stern glance “I promise mother”

Morticia smiles, opening her arms, a silent request. Wednesday rolls her eyes muttering “why must everyone be so sentimental” as she was hugged by her mother.

When she pulled away her mother signed asking for her to put her hearing aids in temporarily.

(This is where Wednesday gets the book and Weems leaves)

Wednesday had fallen asleep on the ride, only to be woken by her father as he said “my little tormenta. We are here. This is where we part”

Wednesday nodded thanking her father before she made her way to her uncle, thanking Agnes who now traded places with her. Saying “I need to get back to my family. But keep me posted!”

Wednesday had agreed and then gotten into her uncles sidecar. Greeting thing, ready to find Enid.
__

Two weeks of nothing. No leads, just stuck in the same hotel, waiting.

Until fester came running in. She turned on her aids as he began to speak “I got a lead. Someone spotted a werewolf and said it had colorful hair. She was only five miles away! Come on let’s go!”

Wednesday immediately grabbed her gear and ran after her uncle, thing on her shoulder.

_

Fester and Wednesday walked quietly through the woods, hunting. But not to kill, to simply find.

Wednesday saw paw prints that she could recognize any day, it was Enid. She didn’t know why Enid was here in this small town north of the border, but she was grateful as she noticed a small cave.

“Uncle fester, look” Wednesday said, pointing towards the cave, the entrance covered in claw marks.

“Oh yeah, those are alpha claws for sure.” Fester said, grabbing his crossbow.

“What on earth do you think you are doing?” Wednesday asked, and he began lowering the weapon in his hands.

“this is dangerous Wednesday. Even if she recognizes you she doesn’t know me.” Fester said.

“Which is why you and thing stay out here. If I scream you can enter.” Wednesday said, her voice stern, final.

Fester reluctantly nodded.

Wednesday stalked into the cave, no weapons in sight. She trusted Enid, even in her wolf form.

As she finally made it to the main part of the cave she heard a low growl, and she smiled.

“Enid?” She asked, her smile clear in her voice.

Said wolf appeared from the darkness, her teeth bared and ready to fight. She had a few new scars, none that would transfer to her human form, but noticeable as her wolf.

“Why did you leave you idiot?” Wednesday asked, her voice cracking slightly. Enid moved closer, still on the hunt. Wednesday sighed and she got down on her knees, opening her arms and she said “I have no weapons,” the wolf titled its head “if I’m going to die. I’d want it to be from your hand. I don’t wanna live without you in my life.” Even if she was beyond angered with Enid for leaving “so. Kill me. Or don’t” Wednesday said. Her eyes closing.
She felt Enid sniffing her before suddenly she was on her back and Enid was attacking her face with her tongue. “Enid-“ Wednesday said, and she couldn’t help but laugh as the wolf wagged its tail and jumped from side to side above Wednesday before she resumed her assault on Wednesday’s face. “I missed you too Sinclair- but please stop licking me” Wednesday said, catching her breath.

Enid huffed and plopped onto Wednesday, laying her head on the goths chest as her tail wagged. Wednesday reached up and rubbed behind the wolf’s ears, catching sight of the girl she loves behind those blue eyes. “Ready to go home?”

The wolf titled her head but nodded. “Well let’s go. My uncle and thing are sure to worry soon” Enid stood up and jumped in a few circles before she followed Wednesday out of the cave.

Once the left thing ran forwards and jumped onto Enid who smiled at him, her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth.

“Fester. Meet Enid.” Wednesday said.

Fester smiled widely as he took the wolf in “wow! An alpha! You got some teeth on you kid! Good for you!”

Enid hadn’t heard a word as thing massaged her head.

Wednesday just smiled.

Chapter Text

Once they finally found a way home, the Addams welcomed Enid with open arms. Especially pugsley who begged Wednesday to let him play with Enid. Wednesday refused, Enid wasn’t a house dog.

Which was being proven wrong as Enid brought Wednesday a stick, nudging it forward while Wednesday read her aunts diary.

“You seriously want me to throw this?” Wednesday asked. The girl had to audacity to bark.

Wednesday rolled her eyes and that’s how she ended up playing fetch with her girlfriend. What has her life become?

Now Enid is trying to fit into bed with Wednesday, which has already proven not able to happen.

“For christ sake Enid.” Wednesday muttered, as the wolf lay completely on top of her.

Enid whined and Wednesday immediately gave up. Damnit.

__

It took a few weeks, and a lot of research.. and some illegal sleuthing from Agnes but they found a potion. It was a 50/50 chance, but it was worth the chance.

So now Wednesday was in her room, alone. With Enid. Saying “drink it” but Enid sniffed it then gagged, “do you want to be a wolf forever?” Enid shook her head “then get over it and drink the damned potion!” Enid huffed and drank it.

Wednesday winced as she heard the first bone crack. But that meant it was working.

Soon enough, those beautiful blue eyes and blonde locks were human. And tackling Wednesday “oh my god you’re alive!”

“Wh- what?” Wednesday asked, hugging the girl back. Albeit awkwardly as the girl was unclothed and well.. quite smelly.

“Yo- you were buried alive.” Enid said.

“Enid that was two months ago” Wednesday said, pulling away.

“What?”

__

After explaining that Enid had been stuck in her wolf form for two months Wednesday was now waiting outside as Enid showered.

She couldn’t believe she didn’t remember. How could Wednesday be upset that she had left if she hadn’t even remembered leaving?

Enid left the shower, a towel around her as she blushed at Wednesday’s eyes following her movements.

Wednesday stared for a moment when Enid stared at her. She then realized what was happening so she turned and let Enid change. Once she was changed Enid said “thanks for taking care of me in my wolf form for so long”

Right.. “anything for you Cara Mia”

Enid smiled brightly and moved towards Wednesday, leaning as if to kiss her. But Wednesday evaded it, feeling as if she was betraying Enid by not telling her the truth, while still hurt by the truth.

Enid’s face morphed into one of hurt and confusion but Wednesday ignored it, “we should head down for supper soon. I’m sure mother is awaiting our arrival” she escaped the room as soon as the could.

__

Wednesday sat in the library when suddenly “I really did not wish to return this soon”

Dear lord…
“Then leave” Wednesday responded.

Weems sighed and sat across from Wednesday. “Miss Addams. Did your father tell you of the family curse?”

Wednesday’s eyes snapped to meet Weem’s. “That was a fairytale”

“No. It was quite real, and you have fallen under it for miss sinclair.” Weems said, her eyes serious.

“I don’t believe you” Wednesday said, standing up.

“Wednesday.” The use of her name stops Wednesday dead in her tracks. “The Addams family curse cannot be ignored. The more you push Enid away, the more you lie to her. It will be your undoing.”

“I can’t- she-“ Wednesday started to say.

“I know, but the annoying thing about relationships is that, communication is key.” Weems stated.

Wednesday ran a hand down her face, having grown comfortable around the insufferable spirit. “I wish you were wrong.”

“And I wish I was alive.”

Wednesday glared at her. “At least it was decently painless”

“Excuse me miss Addams but who is the dead one here?”

“Well I’ve been stabbed twice, shot with an arrow, oh and Thrown out of a window.” Wednesday said.

Weems huffed and Wednesday smiled softly at the elder woman.

Wednesday returned to her room and saw Enid fast asleep curled into a small ball on the bed.

Wednesday walked over and sat beside Enid, running a soft hand over her shoulder.

The touch wakes Enid, smiling at her girlfriend she leans into the touch, saying “hey. Is it morning already?”

“No. It’s about 4 in the morning.” Wednesday said, her voice soft.

Enid’s eyebrow’s furrowed “then why are you still awake. Come on. Get over here”

Wednesday sighed, running a hand through her bangs.

“What’s wrong baby?”

“I lied to you Enid.. well I didn’t lie I just didn’t explain the truth.” Wednesday said as she began to pace.

“What- Wednesday what are you talking about?” Enid asked, sitting up now.

“When you turned to save me.. you, you ran. It took me 2 months to find you.. then 2 weeks to turn you back” Wednesday said, looking down, unable to maintain eye contact.

Enid was quiet for a long moment before she said “I really ran?”

“Yes. I begged you to stay Enid- I-“ Wednesday’s voice cracked and Enid rushed to her and hugged her whispering that she was sorry. Wednesday just clung to the girl, knowing she was sorry, and if she could do it again it would be different. It may not have been said but it was known.

“Is that all?” Enid asked, pulling away.

Wednesday took another deep breathe “the reason it took so long for me to find you was because at first I wasn’t the one searching” Enid’s eyes turned confused “I was deeply injured when we saved pugsley.”

“Ok… how so?”

“Well first off, Issac used his powers to choke me and then stab me. I seem to keep getting stabbed” Wednesday tried for a joke but it did not land.

Enid gasped slightly “can I-“

Wednesday nodded and lifted her shirt, showing the scar. It looked horrid given the fact that it was shrapnel that had been thrust into her abdomen and twisted. She doesn’t really remember the incident but she was told what happened.

Enid didn’t touch it at first, and she confused Wednesday as she leaned down and then- kissed it?

“What on earth are you doing?”

“You always kiss my scars” Enid said. leaning back up again, her eyes filled with love.

Wednesday nodded, satisfied with the answer, and ignoring how the kiss made her feel. “Anyways, that was not my only injury. I also suffered another head injury due to the explosion.”

“I seriously am gonna make you wear a helmet permanently Wednesday” Enid said, giggling when she got Wednesday to smirk.

“No need. I already have irreparable damage” Enid’s smile dropped.

“What?”

“I have lost most of my hearing, I now wear hearing aids-“

Enid pulled Wednesdays face towards bed and inspected her ears “how did I not see this!”

“Not so close dear god” Wednesday said, pulling away and holding her ear.

“Sorry.” Enid said. “So- so.. you’re deaf?”

“As close as I could get to it. I will admit it’s a lot more annoying than I imagined.” Wednesday said.

Enid couldn’t help but let tears fall from her eyes. Wednesday’s eyes grew panicked “no- no. Why are we crying we don’t need to cry- oomph” her words are cut off by Enid pulling her into a bone crushing hug.

“I should have been there to protect you.”

Wednesday smiled “Enid. It is fine truly-“

“No-“

“Enid if you blame yourself for this I swear I will…”

Enid pulled away, now smirking, gotcha. “Will what? Kiss me? Love me?”

“You are incorrigible” Wednesday said, leaning in to kiss Enid.

The girl gladly reciprocates the kiss, deepening it even as she pulled Wednesday towards her, moving to the bed until her knees hit it. Falling back with Wednesday on top of her.

“Enid” kiss. “We.” Kiss “should.” Kiss “go to” kiss “bed”

Enid pulled away and whispered “5 more minutes” before diving in and kissing the girls neck turning them so she was on top.

Wednesday instantly agreed.
