One night Luke went to the statue of his great-great-grandfather. The statue of Edgar held a book in one hand, and on his wrist was a raven. Luke planned to borrow a couple of books.
Then he would return them.
He knew he would have to snap his fingers twice for the statue to shift and show the hidden entrance.
‘They’re not having a meeting, are they?’ thought Luke, who was dressed appropriately for the situation. He black overalls with the hood covering his head, gloves, pants, and a black scarf covering half his face.
It was late at night on a Monday. It was only a couple of hours before the school day started. It would be strange if they had a meeting at this hour.
Without another thought, he snapped his fingers twice. Instantly the statue began to recede, showing him a hidden passage. The place was dark so he used the flashlight on his cell phone.
Luke started down a staircase just like Wednesday did in the series. On the way he saw a lot of portraits of people he didn’t know.
He came to a room where in the center was the symbol of the Nightshade Society. A black skull with a star or something similar. In one of the pictures on the walls of the room, he could see Mr. and Mrs. Addams. Wednesday’s parents.
Without wasting any more time, he headed for the libraries which had hundreds of books piled high with dust.
‘Hundreds of years made them have quite a collection,’ Luke thought, looking at the shelves full of books.
He began to look to see if the shelves had any distinctions so he would know what category was on each shelf. Since it would take forever if he searched book by book. There would not only be things about psychics and auras but also other types of outcasts or history books.
Luckily, he found small metal plates placed on the shelves, each with a different inscription. He approached the first plaque and read, “Werewolves.” As expected there were books dedicated to werewolves. As it wasn’t what he was looking for he moved on to the next shelf. On the plaque, it said: ‘Vampires.’ He kept looking until he finally found the shelf he needed. The one for psychics.
‘That’s a lot of books,’ he thought, looking at the tall bookshelf. He started browsing through several books.
His goal was to find books that talked about the blue aura and showed methods to learn useful techniques. Preferably mind control and mind reading.
It took him almost an hour to find the books that would be useful to him. It took so long because the damn books had no titles, no cover.
He got a book that talked about mind reading. Another was on mind control, and the last one talked about mental protection. Very useful stuff. He didn’t want someone reading his mind if he could help it.
‘Mission completed,’ Luke thought with a slight smile. Now he was to go back to his room and read the books completely. Then he would return them.
Just then he heard several footsteps coming towards his location, ‘Shit!’ Luke nervously looked around, looking for a place to hide. Luckily, he found a large, dirty closet in time.
He propped the books on the floor of the closet. It would be awkward to wait with three heavy books until people left, and he might make a telltale noise.
‘Why would they have a meeting at four in the morning?’ thought Luke with a grimace. If he could avoid it he’d rather not fight, but if he had no choice he’d fight his way out.
As he left the closet doors slightly open he could see that it was two people. They were chatting and laughing amicably. Did they know they had entered the lair of a secret society?
He expected to find a group of cultists in masks and cloaks, but it was a boy and a girl kissing and fooling around.
“I told you the best place to do it is here. We won’t bother anyone,” the boy said with a smile as he placed kisses on the girl’s neck.
“I don’t know, Tommy… It’s where we always meet with the club,” said the girl with some doubt, but she could be seen enjoying the kisses the boy was giving her.
“Come on, Veronica. No one will find out. We can’t do it in the dorms. The best place is here. Or do you want to do it outdoors?” asked Tommy with a playful smile.
“Well… All right,” said Veronica. They stopped at the symbol of the Nightshade Society and began kissing passionately. The kisses each time went higher and higher. Tommy’s hand reached down and started groping Veronica’s ass.
Luke was watching all of this in the foreground. The closet was not far away, and they had stood in the center of the symbol kissing. Although the lighting was dim it was enough to see them.
All the place could hear was the kissing and faint sighs of the couple.
“…” Luke couldn’t believe his eyes. Two outcasts about to have sex in the prestigious, former Nightshade Society headquarters. If Goody Addams knew about this she’d be rolling over in her grave.
Luke recognized the girl. A very popular older student. Her name was Veronica Umbrio. Her popularity was among the highest in the school. Surpassing Bianca and Sabrina.
This is due to her appearance, perfect grades, and above all possessing a double aura. Of all the psychics at Nevermore only two were known to possess a double aura.
How did he know all this? Thanks to Enid. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even pay attention to a Nevermore student, as it wasn’t something he was interested in. Since Veronica was one of the most popular people, Enid the most gossipy person at Nevermore had a lot of information about her for her blog.
As for the boy, he has no idea who he is. He must be the stereotypical popular guy since he is hitting on the most popular girl. Only, with a few twists, since he’s an outcast.
Luke was reminded of Brad and his girlfriend. Not a pleasant memory.
‘Outcasts acting like normies. What a joke,’ Luke thought, looking at the pair. He saw no difference between the two species. They were still teenagers with no control over their hormones.
The couple lay down on the floor where the symbol of society was and began to undress. ‘Are they going to…?’ thought Luke. Although he knew that teenagers, including himself, had more uncontrolled hormones, he would never do such an act in a place he considered sacred. Carefully, he pulled out his cell phone and selected his camera.
Luke began to get photographic and video evidence, while the couple was engrossed in the carnal act atop the noble symbol of the Nightshade Society.
Why was he getting photos and videos of the carnal act between Veronica and Tommy? Just in case. If he was caught stealing the books he would have a means to blackmail them and save himself from possible punishment. He could even continue blackmailing them in the future. Luke doesn’t know how long it was before they were done. The couple lay on the floor. Veronica leaned against Tommy’s chest.
‘Get the fuck out of here already. Stop defiling this place,’ Luke thought grumpily. He wanted to sleep, and these idiots looked like they would fall asleep naked on the floor as if they were
at home.
Ten minutes later, they got dressed and left the place amid laughter. As if they had performed the most rebellious act of their lives.
Luke waited ten more minutes to make sure they didn’t come back in case they forgot any items or anything like that. Then he left the place taking the three books with him. The mission was completed.
In the following days, he began to read the books. A serious reading would be enough to remember them in their entirety thanks to his photographic memory. It took a little longer, as the information was complex.
Edgar was pissed when he found out that Luke stole the books from the Nightshade Society and went on a big rant. Telling him that he should join like all members of the Poe family.
Luke stood his ground. He would not join that society, and certainly not after witnessing two members having sex in the society’s main room. A useless club. Maybe when Goody Addams created it, it served a purpose, but now it was bullshit just for show among popular and elites.
