บท 35: Discovered

The Hyde killed Rowan and turned towards Wednesday and growled at her and then ran away in another direction.

Wednesday quickly crawled upto Rowans body and looked around her sort of panicked when a paper floated down from the sky fell onto Rowans chest, I decided to head back.

I put the gun still loaded just incase and turned around and was gonna start walking away when I heard Wednesday's shout.

"James! I Know you are there"

I stopped my foot from landing on the ground and froze, From my experience I find it best if people no matter how close to me dont know a few things, it avoids a whole lot of questioning, which can simply be avoided by just Not telling them.

Yet here it seems I cant walk away, I turned around with a smile and walked towards Wednesday who was holding the picture in her hands and was looking at me from the floor.

"Hello"

"Ugh, You saw what just happened right, I know you were watching from the beggining"

Well... Fuck

"Yes I did see that monster"

"This is the second monster I have experienced although this Monster is not close to as terrifying the previous one was, But I want to find to find out how is it that these monsters are coming to existence?"

Huh neat she skipped over the part about me watching her get strangled, I mean fair enough she was quiet high up on the tree so she must have had a vantage point... it's just that I thought I was well hidden enough but I guess I was not.

"Yes, It is a curious thing, What if that monster was a human that could transform?"

"That... Would make sense, through my search of finding out about the Monster we both experienced I have gone through my entire families Library yet, There were no signs of such a monster existing, yet this new one has some similarities to a few monsters or rather spiecies, that can transform Into monsters back and forth"

"Yep, that sounds like a good place to start at"

Wednesday seemed to have gone into a thinking state so I took out my phone and looked at the time.

"Oh... Its actually heading here, and it should be here in around 10 minutes hah"

Jarvis had written it out in text form along with a gps map that Jarvis created using diffrent security cameras to monitor its exact location, I quickly typed back letting Jarvis know to bring my car around here fast, as I would need the armour.

"What is?"

I looked over to Wednesday and considered whether I should tell her about the Monster coming here.

"Its nothing"

I decided against it as there was no need to involve Wednesday in this, I can handle it myself and I dont want Wednesday to truly get hurt.

Previously I was just a bystander before, it was due to a crucial point in the story I must not change if I want that Pilgrimage guy to come back to life This was a crucial point in the story due to this causing Wednesdays intrest in this monster to grow and walk right into the schemes laid out for her so I had to let it happen.

I need my answers and it's worth a few contained risks, no matter how bad I feel about letting Wednesday get hurt.

Wednesday looked at me suspiciously and then just shrugged and got up put the paper in her pants and started walking of.

"We are not through with why you just watched as he tried to kill me, but we will talk about it later as right now you seem to have some sort of work to do"

How understanding of her, Although I dont know what the hell I am supposed to tell her, like should I just use an excuse or... Damit I could just let Wednesday know everything, right now we have built good trust in eachother so even if she does a little confirming it would be fair on her side as we havent reached the unconditional trust status just yet, yes that shoul be fine.

I noticed how by now Wednesday had already walked pretty far away and looked down towards Rowan, He suddenly opened his eyes and started squirming around in pain, He tried crawling away when he saw me panicked, He was bleeding alot previously he must have fainted due to pain or something, but later actually died, Wednesday must have not been able to properly feel Rowans pulse as she herself was not in the right state.

I removed my gun from my coat and aimed it at his head, Deciding to just end his misery.

"Sigh This is propably gonna come back to bite me in the ass later... but fuck you Rowan"

I said that to a him and put away my gun and just walked away, I was feeling frustrated at myself, I had let all this happen to her when I could have easily chosen not to... But I need answers, there should be a better way..

I hurried over to get the Iron man suit, I crossed the bridge and headed into the Harvest Festival where people seemed to still be having fun, I walked through the crowds and avoided some security guards and snuck out towards the car.

"What are you doing"

I got startled when I heard someone voice behind and instantly reached for my gun as I turned around and saw who it was.

"Oh... Hey Xavier funny seeing you out here"

"I could ask you the same thing, Oh by the way is that your gun?"

I looked down and saw that hand was inside my school coat and I was gripping onto the gun, when I realized this I released my grip and removed my hands from my coat.

"So what brings you to me?"

"I saw you and Wednesday going back into the woods, so I was just curious did anything happen, she seemed to be following Rowan, but I waited for a while but Rowan never came back out and since you were the last person to come out I want to ask you where is Rowan?"

"Hey Xavier I dont know what your deal is here you were following me the other day? And also why do you even care about what happened to Rowan?"

"We are Roommates"

I know Dumbass just wanna end this conversation as soon as possible.

"He should still be in the woods, you can go look for him"

He looked as If he was thinking about something and after a second of silence he simply nodded and headed back inside, I waited until he was far gone, that's when I got into the car and started driving away from the Harvest festival and into the woods where I looked over the phones gps and it said signal lost.
