CHAPTER 54

Y/N'S POV

After walking for about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the private property of the "Suzuki", that is, my mother's private property. It was the first time I heard my middle name, and the truth is, my full name was horrible... Y/N Addams Suzuki. I decided to continue using only Addams as a surname because they already considered me weird enough to give them one more reason.

-Brooke: Your mom wants you to help her like any daughter would do for her mom, so don't be scared if she asks you for something that might sound crazy at first - she smiled opening the front door - We're already here!

Immediately Mr. Duncan appeared taking me by the arm, the woman looked me up and down before I giving me a smug smile. How I hated that smile! I feigned a smile so that I could continue with the plan and they guided me to the main living room, where they made me sit on a sofa in front of my mother. The Duncans walked away to the kitchen to prepare the cookies Brooke had promised me earlier.

-Meiko: I knew you would come back to me sooner or later - she smiled - You need me to become stronger.

-Y/N: - I started nodding - It wasn't until the crazy concierge tried to attack me that I realized you were right - I lied - But you know... They say it's never too late if it's for good.

- Meiko: - she nodded - Well... Why did you go looking for Brooke? If what you want is power, you have to look for me, not her.

-Y/N: Today is the dance at Nevermore and no way am I going to take you as a couple.

- Meiko: What happened to the little wolf? Did she drop too much drool and that's why you left her? - she cocked her head waiting for a convincing answer.

-Y/N: She's back with her ex - I clenched my jaw - We weren't made for each other.

- Meiko: - She started laughing - Oh Y/N... Do you see what happens when you ignore Mom? - She opened her arms - You are just a teenager, I know that emotions at your age are very intense and that's why the biggest stupid things are committed. But don't worry, from now on everything will be fine as long as you let yourself be advised by me - she made a gesture with her hands.

-Y/N: What do you want? - I looked at her uncertainly.

-Meiko: After breaking up with her you must be heartbroken, I'm offering you some compassion - she kept her arms open - Come to Mom.

I had to gather all the courage in me while thinking about Enid so that I could approach my mother and let her hug me. The touch of her hands with her sharp claws caressing my skin, made several chills take over me. I just had to endure that farce until the evening, I had to be aware of everything that was at stake and endure to defend what mattered to me.

-Y/N: Thank you - I said before separating and looking into her eyes - Now... I'm feeling a little better. I guess homemade cookies will help too.

- Meiko: Of course! - she clapped her hands together - I'll tell Duncan to get you something to drink. What do you prefer?

-Y/N: Coffee, the most bitter you have...

- Meiko: Coffee to drown the sorrows? - she raised an eyebrow - I think you're old enough to try other substances - she said opening a bottle and taking out a liquor - Have you ever drunk alcohol?

-Y/N: - I shook my head - I don't think it's a good idea to drink alcohol, I have to be in condition to go to the dance with Brooke.

- Meiko: It'll just be a little, don't worry - she smiled and started pouring me a drink.

WEDNESDAY'S POV

I was going to kill Enid and Y/N for turning me into a colorful carnival monkey. I could feel my blood boiling every time I saw my reflection on some surface, I endured it because I knew how much we were messing with each other. I left the academy and went to Jericho in search of Mr. Wilson because the very coward did not have the guts to show up the next day. He was the typical character who throws the stone and then hides his hand, pathetic.

- Wednesday: Mr. Wilson! - I knocked on his door twice - Open the door, I just want to talk.

I started losing patience after knocking on the door like five times without getting an answer, so I noticed the facade of the house and started climbing through the pipes until I slipped through a window. I had tried to do things legally, it was not my fault that I had had to resort to housebreaking. I entered through the window of his daughter's room, which always seemed to be open, and then I went down the stairs until I reached the living room where the old man was sitting in his armchair.

-Wednesday: If you don't want strangers to sneak up on you often, I would recommend closing your daughter's window - I commented making him turn in my direction - I knocked on the door but you didn't open, it's not my fault - I shrugged.

- Wilson: That window will never close! - he shouted at me in a hoarse voice - Get out!

-Wednesday: I find everything you've done pathetic - I started talking - Have you left the window of your room open in the hope of one day returning? - I let out a sarcastic chuckle - If she did, she would be embarrassed by your attitude.

- Wilson: What will you know? !! - he got up from the armchair and started walking in my direction - I have nothing left! What makes you think I'll have any qualms about murdering you little girl?

-Wednesday: - I clicked my tongue - You don't know the hatred I feel towards those who refer to me as "little girl" - I crossed my arms - Why didn't you go to work today? Are you afraid that Y/N has confessed about his crimes? Are you afraid that one of the students will attack you?

-Wilson: I went to work - his gaze softened - But I couldn't stand the guilt I felt when I saw Y/N, that stupid brood did nothing but tell me the truths to my face.

-Wednesday: Yes, it is a quality in our family to tell things without anesthesia - I looked at him - So I won't go around either... Would you like to help me stop the hunters?

- Wilson: What? That's impossible! These people have a whole arsenal of weapons ready to fight you all... There's nothing an old human like me can do.

- Wednesday: You don't understand, being human is our biggest weapon against them - I smiled slightly - They won't be able to attack us or they will be persecuted by the law.

-Wilson: But you are not a "normie", they will finish you in a breath.

- Wednesday: Hey, I haven't dressed like a clown just because - I said pointing to my clothes - My skills will go unnoticed and we will be able to approach them safely.

-Wilson: - he clenched his jaw and was silent for a few moments - By trying we do not lose anything, although I know that this will not help my sins to be forgiven.

-Wednesday: Well said - I clapped my hands - Guide me to the Hunters' lair, I can't wait to meet them - I faked a smile.
