Chapter 9 - Conversation with the Past Raven

After Y/N piano performance, everywhere Y/N walked through the town of Jericho gave him a smile and a hint of appreciation from their eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and it is correct. The appreciative look from the residents of Jericho told me that this outcast was different from the rest and had gained their recognition.

The piece itself showed the depths of love, growth, and comfort that the residents so deeply needed from the various accidents happening recently. The song soothed their minds and helped relax their nerves and continue their lives without worry. Wednesday, Enid, and Eugene were following Y/N's lead as they walked around town. The song touched their hearts in different ways.

Eugene felt the love from his two mothers and how lucky he was to be loved unconditionally.

Enid started tearing up as she reminisced about her first meeting with Y/N to the comfort he gave Enid on the balcony to now and how her love had grown for him.

Finally, Wednesday was brought back to time when Nero was still alive and the fun times they had together. She also thought of the time when Y/N kissed her hand and how she truly felt her feelings for him.

All three of them had different yet similar experiences from listening to Y/N song. Unfortunately the person that caused all this had no clue what they were thinking about.

After wandering around the town for a while, they all went to the Weathervane to take a break and get some refreshments and snacks. During the time they were resting, the Shadow Knights informed me of an abandoned mansion close to town and a burned down building where a homeless man was occupying.

With two possible locations in hand, I relayed the information to Wednesday and Enid as well as Eugene. They discussed where to check first and all agreed to go to the burnt down building first.

Making the homeless temporarily leave will be easy for Y/N or Thing. They all got up and left the Weathervane, little did they know that Tyler was watching their every move. Unfortunately for Tyler, Y/N has been monitoring him since my confirmation. Tyler had been regarded by Y/N as prey when he strikes.

After entering the forest where the burnt building was, the walk there was an easy one.

Looking up at the sky, I said to them, "It looks like it's going to rain so let's make sure we get there before that happens."

They all looked at me and nodded in agreement. They hurried to the location and arrived promptly. I sensed the homeless man hiding inside looking at us.

I walk in and he popped out shouting, "Get out of my home. I was here first!!"

I turned to Wednesday and said, "You want Thing to do it or should I?"

Without missing a beat, Thing pops out of Wednesday's bag and rushes the homeless man. Thing went to the homeless man's face and scared him off.

I gave Thing a thumbs up and praised, "Good job, Thing."

Back to the matter in hand, Wednesday and the rest of them scattered to see if they can find something tying to the "creature" or the murders. Enid suggested to Wednesday to touch the burnt down parts of the barn to see if her visions would kick in.

Wednesday gave Enid a deadpan expression saying that just touching randomly would not trigger it. To prove her conclusion, Wednesday touched the wooden stump, the wall, and a Taco Bell bag and then looked up pretending to have a vision. I chuckled at the sight of their banter. Eugene was just confused and stayed by me.

Without finding much clues around the site, we all proceeded to leave. Wednesday took the lead and touched the barn door to leave but as she did, her body jolted and was falling to the ground.

I grabbed hold of Wednesday before she fell to the ground and explained to Enid and Eugene that she was having a vision. When I finished telling them Wednesday's condition, I sensed Tyler's signature nearby and the madness aspect doubled heading to our location.

I summoned Igris and the Shadow Knights to keep Tyler away from us. I conveyed my order for one of Tyler's arms to be severed by the sword to Igris, in which Igris accepted the order.

A battle was taking place not far from Y/N's location yet far enough for the sound of battle to not reach their ears. Enid, Eugene, and I just waited under the roof to provide cover for the incoming rainfall. I adjusted Wednesday to lay on my lap till she finished her vision.

I thought, "It's taking longer than usual."

Enid was to Wednesday's side holding her arm worried for her wellbeing and Eugene was sitting to the side worried as well.

While waiting for Wednesday to wake up, Wednesday was having a vision about the past. She was transported into the town of Jericho 400 years ago. The villagers are out with pitchforks and torches while pushing around a young girl looking like Wednesday.

As the young girl was shoved from villager to villager, the leader revealed to be Joseph Crackstone cursed and taunted the young girl as Goody Addams. He led Goody to the barn and shoved her inside while cursing every outcast inside that he would not stop until every outcast was killed. The villagers closed the barn doors and locked it.

Crackstone yelled, "Set it ablaze!!"

The outcasts inside screamed in terror as that statement sealed their fates. Goody found her mother and tried to free her from her chains, unfortunately they were chained to the floor. The Goody's mother told her to run and avenge them when the time comes. She looked horrified at her mother but relented and nodded. Goody went towards the back of the barn where there was a hatch for escaping the barn. Wednesday witnessing all this quickly followed Goody but the smoke from the fire of the barn obscured her vision.

When the smoke lifted, she was outside. Wednesday saw Goody running towards her warning her that Crackstone won't stop but before she could say any more, she stopped and looked towards behind Wednesday.

It turned out to be Crackstone walking towards Wednesday and said, "There will be no escape for you.."

Wednesday walked backward and fell. With that, her vision ended and woke up.

Wednesday suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for air. She looked directly up at my face wide eyed.

I smiled slightly while petting her head and said, "Morning sleepyhead."

Wednesday got up immediately hiding her reddish face and telling them about Goody and Crackstone from her vision. Digesting the information Wednesday provided, I told everyone we should head back to town and then back to Nevermore as it is getting late. With the Poe Cup starting tomorrow, everyone will need their rest. They all left the forest, never knowing that their lives would have been in danger if not for Y/N's Shadow Knights keeping Tyler busy.

Speaking of Igris and the Shadow Knights, they finally stopped holding back Tyler as everyone is out of the forest. When Tyler was distracted from defending from the other knights, Igris came from the side and cut off one of Tyler's arms. Tyler immediately howled in pain and ran off in the distance despite his injuries. Y/N's task for Igris and the Shadow Knights had concluded and returned to Y/N's shadow until further orders.

The four of them arrived at Jericho and finally took the shuttle bus back to Nevermore.

I told Wednesday and Enid, "I'll have the Shadow Knights investigate the abandoned mansion a little way of Jericho. From what they have gathered from listening to the residents of Jericho, It belonged to the Gates family. A family descended from Joseph Crackstone himself and inherited their hate for outcasts."

I made sure to tell them to focus on the Poe Cup tomorrow and beat Bianca in this race.

After separating with Eugene, I took Wednesday and Enid back to Ophelia Hall. I couldn't really come inside "legally", I could only take them to the front. But before I left for them for the night, I made a move that shocked both Wednesday and Enid. I took them both into my arms and hugged them.

I also whispered to their ears, "My piano performance was for you both and if you can win the Poe Cup, I'll give you a reward you both will love."

And with that promise, I kissed both their cheeks and walked away smiling.

Wednesday and Enid stood in shock and touched where Y/N kissed them feeling the warmth slowly dissipate.

They both looked at each other and Enid shouted, "We're gonna win this competition no matter what. Oh my God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD. Y/N just kissed us and he promised something special if we win eeek!!"

Enid's thoughts started going all over the place.

Wednesday also said, "Absolutely! Plus with Thing's help and Y/N's support, we can definitely win this Poe Cup. I'm curious what Y/N's promise will be though."

Wednesday also started having thoughts about being involved in Y/N and a bed and rope.

As they were having their thoughts, they entered Ophelia Hall and got in their dorm room and started getting ready for bed. Y/N was having his own thoughts on what happened earlier. Igris had completed my order and presented Tyler's severed arm to me. I ordered some Shadow Knights to go to the Gate's mansion tonight and investigate inside. There may be clues there after all.

After pondering a little bit, I went back to my dorm room and Eugene was sleeping.

"Geez Eugene can really sleep even after everything," I thought.

I showered and sat on the bed and took out Falkner's Diary from the Shadow Storage. Reading through the diary, my knowledge on monsters and outcasts had grown considerably. I came across the last entry in the diary.

It talks about a Hyde, who are regarded as a "normie" until they transform. It also said whoever unlocks the Hyde's first transformation has the power to control said Hyde. It seems like I'm not looking for one suspect but two.

Thinking back to that night, Ms. Thornhill had become a suspect in Y/N's heart. Any more thinking will hinder me instead of helping so I closed the diary and threw it back inside the Shadow Storage and went to sleep.

Today is the big day for Nevermore Academy. Today is the yearly Edgar Allan Poe Cup. The Poe cup is a part canoe race, part flag capture, part canoe race back to the beginning. No holds bar competition with no rules from cheaters or outside help.

The students had started getting ready and headed towards the dock where they would see the island where Crackstone's Crypt is located. Every team had their own theme according to one of Edgar Allan Poe's stories. Wednesday and Enid's team are known as the Black Cats so they are dressed in tight catsuits.

As I looked at them getting out of their tent in their costumes, I thought, "They look really cute in those."

Now then let's send some Shadow fishes in the lake for a little harassment in case a little siren comes helping Bianca. I also left some Shadow chains traps on the Shadow fishes for stalling the other teams.

Pretty sure Thing would help as well and on their boat right now. I started heading toward where the competition is about to take place. Both Enid and Wednesday saw me smiling and cheering for them. Enid started squealing and Wednesday smiled as well.

Principal Weems has started her speech and had the teams ready up for the Poe Cup competition is about to begin. Both Wednesday and Enid and their teammates went to their canoe and got their rows ready.

Bianca looked at Wednesday and sneered, "What do we have here? The runt of the litter."

Wednesday countered, "For the record, I don't believe I'm better than anyone. Just better than you." She no longer looked at Bianca and looked ahead ready for the competition to start.

Bianca looked perplexed at the comment but also readied up.

As Principal Weems finished her speech, she shouted, "Let the Poe Cup begin!"

Principal Weems then shot her gun up in the air and the teams had set off.

As teams rowed to Crackstone's Crypt, I walked back from everyone and Shadow Exchanged nearby the crypt. I waited for the competitors to come by to grab the flags in front of the crypt when I felt a lingering spirit trying to commune with me. I allowed the communion to proceed and from what the spirit looks like, it seems to be Goody Addams. I came to a fog-like place around the Crypt.

Goody approached me and said, "Greetings O King of the Dead, thank you for allowing this communion."

I replied, "Hello, Goody. I assume this communion has got to do with that demonic stench inside the crypt?"

Goody nodded, "Inside the crypt lies Joseph Crackstone's corpse and his tormented spirit. Before I killed him, I cursed his spirit to never leave his body as long as the Addams bloodline lives. Unfortunately the only way to release him is to use the same bloodline under the blood moon with my spell book."

I calmly analyzed the information and recalled, "Is your spell book, The Codex Umbrarum?"

Goody nodded and I continued, "It appears to have been stolen? Perhaps someone with a vendetta with your family or outcasts in general?"

Goody replied grimly, "I can only say that the person who took my spell book is someone who belongs to Crackstone's lineage."

I calmly told Goody, "It seems like someone from the Gates' family still lives. Apparently the whole family lineage had died off. It doesn't seem to be the case."

Goody implores, "O King of the Dead, will you please break the seal and destroy Crackstone and his spirit?"

I replied back with majesty, "I will accept your request but you must agree to mine. My request is for you to protect Wednesday and teach her to become a powerful witch like you. I believe your spell book will help with that."

Goody looked surprised but agreed, "I will do as you ask. O King, why do you ask this request?"

I calmly replied, "You know that I will not stay here in this world forever. I will travel to different worlds and those worlds are dangerous to an extent. Wednesday may want to follow and she needs guidance as her powers only started manifesting. When all is complete with your request and if you would like, I can imbue you into a ring or pendant so that your soul can be preserved in a form of immortality so long as the carrier is not destroyed. In one way, you get protection from me and Wednesday gets a teacher from a long past relative."

Goody continued to ask, "Why go through so much trouble for Wednesday?"

I laughed and looked at Goody with a determined attitude, "It is because I fancy her that I do these arrangements, Goody. The little raven silently drilled its beak into my heart along with the little wolf gnawing at it. I will accept their love for me so I will make sure they are well taken care of."

Goody was shocked at the revelation that the King of the Dead took interest in a descendant of hers. She was envious to say the least but she can only give her my blessings.

Goody bid farewell and said, "I will be waiting for your next visit, O King of the Dead. I shall commune with Wednesday what we had discussed and teach her how to contact me."

She bowed and disappeared from the fog-like communion.

My consciousness had come back to reality where I was waiting near the Crypt. As soon as I saw the competitors from the other teams I bound their feet with Shadow Chains and told them it would go away after ten minutes.

The extra ten minutes gave Wednesday a chance to catch up. She saw me smiling and waved at her and then pointing to the crypt. She nodded and grabbed the flag but accidentally touched Crackstone's crypt. Her head went up and before she fell to the ground, I once again caught her.

"Goody must be explaining the conversation to Wednesday," I thought.

After ten minutes, the Shadow Chains undone and gave the other competitors the chance to catch up and grab their flags.

Bianca was looking at Wednesday who passed out on my lap sneered, "Taking a cat nap?"

Bianca ran off after grabbing the flag. Wednesday woke up soon after and looked at me shocked.

I calmly said, "We can talk more later. You have a race to win."

Wednesday nodded and grabbed the flag and ran to her boat.

I watched her run off and I walked towards the shore of the island. I gave the command to the Shadow fishes to swarm the siren underwater. The male siren was caught off guard by the school of Shadow Fish bombarding him and out of nowhere shadowy chains held him in place by the very fishes themselves.

From what the Shadow fishes are conveying, they succeeded and that one team sunk and Bianca's team is slowly sinking from the boat modifications.

With all that commotion going on, I Shadow Exchanged back to the pier and watched the Black Cats' canoe paddle their way to the pier holding the flag. Wednesday and Enid held the flag and crossed the finished line with me waiting for them. Enid rushed me and hugged excitedly and Wednesday smiled and nodded with a hint of blush.

I said to both Enid and Wednesday, "Congratulations to you both on winning. You'll get your surprise later. I'm sure you both will enjoy it."

Both Wednesday and Enid smirked thinking about the surprise later. Needless to say, they couldn't wait.

We then head to the Quad where Principal Weems is giving the speech about Ophelia Hall finally winning the Poe Cup after so many years with Enid holding the Poe Cup in front of the photographers.

While everyone was in the quad, Wednesday and I were standing by the Poe statue hiding from the publicity.

I looked over Wednesday and she gave me a look of "You better explain" to me.

I said to her, "I'll explain later but I think I can give you a little preview of what's to come later."

I walked towards her and she looked up at my towering figure. I grasped her wrist and held it on the wall while I used my other hand to hold her waist and pull her towards me. I kissed her lower lips and slightly bit it as well.

A little more force would draw blood but that's for later. I continued kissing Wednesday for a minute before letting her go. Wednesday's face was glowing slightly red from the lack of breath but I think she enjoyed that.

I leaned over to Wednesday's ears and whispered, "Expect more to come later, my little raven."

Wednesday still had a hazy look in her eyes and didn't notice me walking away. By the time she regained her thoughts, she was alone and saw Enid walking over to her.

Enid walked over to Wednesday with smiles all over her face and asked, "Wednesday, why are you hiding here? Where's Y/N? I thought he was with you. Umm Wednesday, are you alright? Your face looks red."

Wednesday replied back, "I'm fine, Enid. Y/N was just here but he said he'll give us our reward later tonight."

Still thinking about what he whispered, her whole body was trembling in excitement. Never was she treated roughly like what Y/N had done and the upcoming surprise might even be more intense. She could not wait till later but she endured and expected the reward.

Enid couldn't wait and hurriedly said, "I can't wait for Y/N surprise. I really hope it's something magical. Maybe it's a kiss? Ohhh maybe he's gonna make us official or something like that? I can't wait!!!"

Enid couldn't calm down much and Wednesday is eager for tonight.

While two girls are left on their own, I set up my Shadow Knights everywhere in and out of Ophelia Hall and applied soundproofing magic inside Wednesday and Enid's dorm room. I also made sure to apply shadows on the windows to prevent peeping from unwanted eyes. After all, it is a surprise for them both. I then laid Shadow Tendrils for bindings later and maybe gag a certain goth girl later while she waits her turn.

Night had started to settle and both Wednesday and Enid headed to their dorm room. They couldn't find Y/N anywhere so they could only head back to the room. They opened the door and walked right in but as soon as the door closed, Shadow tendrils wrapped around the two unsuspecting girls tying them up shibari-style as they dangled close to the floor. As they looked shocked and confused, I appeared in front of them with my eyes glowing.

I looked up at them and said, "Your reward is coming soon. Enid gets to go first since Wednesday got a little peek earlier."

Both Enid and Wednesday started getting aroused from the tone his voice commanded. I let the Shadow Tendril gag Wednesday making her unable to talk while she can watch Enid's reward.

I lowered Enid down as the Shadow Tendrils slowly dissipated.

I walked slowly to Enid and held her chin as I said, "Do you want me, my little wolf?" Enid opened her tiny, little mouth in shock.

That was all the signal I needed before I took her lips into mine. She quickly responded with fervor and tried to gain the upper hand but she's losing ground as our tongues wrestled inside our mouths.

I pulled away letting Enid take a breath but I immediately kissed her neck and bit little bits of her neck. She moaned in pleasure as her arousal climbed to the top. I lifted her up as my hands were firmly grasping her ass.

Our makeout session continued for a few minutes as she wrapped her legs around my waist giving me the chance to fondle her breasts. I took off her shirt and bra while she undid my own shirt in return. I nibbled on her nipples as she moaned louder.

But before I went further, I put her back on the ground.

She looked at me confused but the next voice shut her up as I commanded, "Kneel."

Enid was on her knees looking at the huge bulge in his pants. I then unzipped my pants as my eight inch cock slapped her face.

It was full of girth and exuding pre-cum while I only commanded, "Suck it."

Enid did as she was told as the instincts took over as she was commanded by an alpha in her eyes. She kept sucking with glee in her eyes and before I exploded my cum in her mouth, I grabbed her head and held her as my cum poured from her throat to her stomach. I let go as she coughed leaving a trail of white cum staining her lips. Her cunt has been fully drenched as Enid was fingering herself while she was sucking my cock.

I grabbed Enid and forced her to go on all fours facing Wednesday as she was tied up watching the whole ordeal. I made sure to have the Shadow Tendrils keep Enid in place as I positioned my cock in front of her pussy.

I then slammed my cock inside her while she moaned in excitement. Enid came uncontrollably with the first thrust. I continued thrusting inside her as pleasure filled her mind and her feral nature took over. Enid adjusted with the rhythm of my thrusting as she moaned, making a face we all know in deep pleasure.

Wednesday herself is not without any pleasure while she is tied up with the Shadow Tendrils. I made sure the Shadow Tendrils themselves tease Wednesday as it glides under her pussy rubbing them while the rest are enlarging and tightening around her petite breasts. Wednesday's muffled moans filled the room while I was servicing Enid earlier.

After an hour later, Enid and I tried multiple positions as my back was scratched with her claws drawing blood and sent Enid in a pleasure craze.

As I kept thrusting my cock inside of Enid, I told her, "Take it all."

I unloaded my load inside her as she bit my shoulders in bliss while effectively passing out. Now with Enid's turn is done, it's time to focus on my little raven.

Wednesday herself came no less than ten times watching Enid's performance as she looked at herself tied up moaning in muffles. The floor was drenched in her juices as she noticed me walking over to her with her cock in full view for her. I unbind her and let her gasp for air.

Wednesday looked at my lust-filled eyes and whispered in my ear, "Take me and fill with your essence, my King."

I captured her lips in haste as we fought over dominance over the other. My arms wrapped around her waist as she hooked her arms around my neck. I took hold and headed towards the bed.

Seeing as I'm already naked, I stripped Wednesday of her clothes, scattering them on the floor as drops of blood dripped onto her face as I pulled my lips from hers. The scene looked mesmerizing like a thorned rose waiting to be plucked by him. Wednesday looked more beautiful than ever as the splash of blood makes her irresistible.

I slowly spread her legs as I headed towards her pussy while kissing her inner thighs on the way there. Wednesday tenses up and moans as I slowly get to my destination. I slowly lick her clit as well as around the area and insert two fingers inside her.

She moaned as I rubbed inside her cunt and after a few minutes she squirted in pleasure. I took out my fingers and let her see how dirty she made my fingers. I made Wednesday clean up my fingers as she tasted herself and couldn't wait for more.

The time for foreplay has ended as I hovered over Wednesday positioning my cock in front of her wet cunt and pounded her in one go. She screamed in pain and pleasure as I took her first time. Wednesday moaned as I kept pounding her tight little hole. Her arms hooked around my neck as well as her legs wrapping around my waist.

She began to hold on tight as she bit my neck as well as her nails scratching my bloodied back from earlier. As she came over and over again, I started speeding up till I blew a huge load inside her. She moaned in ecstasy with her eyes rolled back, giving her an intoxicated feeling like never before.

Before Wednesday could take a break from her bliss, I tied her once again while leaving her mouth open. She was tied dangling perfectly in front of me as I once again shoved my cock inside pussy but this time I controlled the Shadow Tendrils in the shape of my cock and let it penetrate her ass as well as her open mouth.

She continued to moan and felt the pain from the sudden insertion of the Shadow Tendrils but enjoyed the feeling all the same. I came more inside her pussy and then started shoving my cock in her ass. Her ass tightened more as I got deeper until I blew more of my load inside leaving a puddle of cum on the floor.

I walked in front to face Wednesday with an ecstatic look and told her, "Open your mouth, my little raven."

She slowly opened her mouth with her tongue licking in anticipation as my cock is inside her mouth. I held her throat as I used her mouth and throat as my toy. She was choking and tears swelling in her eyes but those same eyes conveyed to keep going.

I kept going until my cock started swelling and increased the pace before climaxing the rest of my load inside her throat straight to her stomach filling it up. Wednesday climaxed the same time as all her holes were filled with my cum. She had passed out from the bliss as well as Enid. Both of the girls earned their just rewards.

I brought out a King-sized bed from my Shadow Storage and picked up the two girls with me laying in the middle. I have Enid to my left and Wednesday to my right clinging to me as they slept. I also started falling asleep while I covered the blanket over all of us.

And with an exhausting yet satisfying night, I conveyed my feelings towards Wednesday and Enid. Starting tomorrow will solidify their relationship between the Monarch and his raven and his wolf.
