“Mother?” Wednesday repeated, her tone monotone and icy, staring at the creature.
“Yes. Mother,” the Wendigo replied, making it clear.
Wednesday remained silent, only turning her face slightly toward Luke, as if needing confirmation that what had just happened was real.
“Great. We're parents now and no one told me. Are you handling the emotional part or is it my turn too?” she said dryly.
Luke looked at her, offended.
Not because of the irony, he was ...

Andrew stood stretching on the Palisades field alongside Archie, Kevin, and the rest of his teammates.
“Going to Liam’s party?” Archie said, more of a statement than a question.
Andrew stared at him without responding, 'How does he know?' he thought, confused. Just ten minutes earlier, he had told Regina he’d be going.
“How do you know that?” Andrew finally asked, not fully hiding his surprise.
“Regina posted it on her Messenger status a few minutes ago,...

Long Island, New York
The freshly cut grass and trees cast shadows over a two-story family house, with white shutters and flower pots overflowing with blooms.
Upstairs, in a second-floor room, a young girl stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her wet black hair clinging to her neck. She walked into her room, closed the door behind her, and dropped into the chair at her desk.
She turned on her white laptop and automatically opened YouTube....

Luke stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head.
The Wendigo was staring at him, and it seemed like she was the one who had called out.
Though her voice was far too rough to belong to a girl who looked about eleven or twelve.
Luke raised an eyebrow, curious, “You can talk?”
The Wendigo took a moment to answer. Her lips moved awkwardly, as if each word were a stiff, unused muscle refusing to cooperate.
“Y-yes… I learned… by listening to the men… wh...

On Sunday, October 1st, Andrew uploaded a short video, about five minutes long, to his channel, where he emotionally thanked his subscribers for helping him reach the one million milestone.
In the video, he announced a meetup with fans, aimed at those who lived nearby or could travel. It would take place at a shopping mall farther from his home, to keep some distance, since he didn’t want to accidentally doxx himself.
He had already discussed it with his parents, who, though a b...

As Claire left the living room trying to stifle her laughter, Gloria walked over to Cam and helped him back onto the couch.
"Oh, Cameron, what happened? One moment you were standing there, and the next all we could see were your shoes," said Gloria as she started pulling chips out of his hair.
Andrew, Pippa, and the others bent down to pick up the scattered snacks from the floor.
From his seat, still slightly disheveled, Cam took a deep breath and declared, "Do you want to k...

"That old man is dead..." Zarvok muttered to himself. Barely five minutes had passed since Luke had emerged from the depths of Centralia.
He, on the other hand, was still enjoying his fight with the Wendigo.
The creature, still in its juvenile stage, was putting up more resistance than he had anticipated. It wasn’t due to strength or form, it was pure instinct and rage.
Zarvok relished that. Before devouring a valuable soul, he always preferred to warm up the body.

The Colombian dinner unfolded in a strange atmosphere.
The clinking of silverware against plates, sips of drinks, the occasional murmur, and every now and then a discreet comment about how surprisingly tasty the pig intestines were.
Jay ate in silence, chewing with a stone-cold expression, adding nothing to the conversations that came up… and quickly died out.
Claire was just as quiet, though for different reasons.
At first glance, she seemed disturbed by what she ha...

Luke used Shambles and appeared just one meter away from Mortimer. There was no sound, just an abrupt shift in space.
The old man barely had time to open his eyes and take a step back, but it was already too late.
Luke had already unleashed the slash. He moved Eclipse in a straight line, as if executing a clean cut through the air.
The runes on the blade glowed briefly. Condensed telekinetic energy, ten tons, was projected forward.
A visible, razor-sharp wave sliced th...

“Nothing,” Haley replied after a few seconds, her tone dripping with fake innocence.
“Just that it must be so fun to talk about such boring topics… instead of, you know... living real life,” she added, with a dismissive smile.
The tension in the living room thickened.
Pippa kept her expression neutral.
Manny glanced around, clearly uncomfortable. He hadn’t realized there was so much tension, and he didn’t know the exact reasons ...

Jay walked toward the door, grumbling to himself as he adjusted something around his neck.
He opened the door.
First to come in were Mitchell and Cam, pushing Lily’s stroller. Both greeted Jay quickly, barely smiling, too focused on not talking too much to each other to notice the strange accessory around Jay’s neck.

They said in unison, walking past him.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
Andrew smirked slightly. He knew perfectly well that Jay understood the reference. In fact, he had done it on purpose, just to annoy him a little.
After a few seconds of awkward pause, Jay's deep voice finally broke the silence.

On the surface, the ghost town of Centralia had turned into a battlefield. The ground trembled, houses were more thoroughly destroyed than before, and bursts of energy clashed in the open air.
And at the center of that chaos, Zarvok was immersed in his hunt. His condition wasn’t perfect, he had sustained some wounds, but his healing was already working to repair them.
His demonic smile remained intact.
Standing before him, one bare foot planted on a rocky mound, was the cr...

Andrew returned home after a long clothing shopping session, where Cam spent another twenty minutes making up his mind. In the end, he didn’t choose between the gray or the blue shirt… he bought both.
And also a black one with silver details he found near the checkout counter.
And a wine-colored linen shirt because "I have nothing that matches those white pants buried at the back of the closet."
On the drive home, the silence was tense. Mitch and Cam hadn't fought, but s...

Andrew was sitting on the floor of his room, with a pile of open comics scattered across the carpet.
Willa, on the other hand, was lying on her bed face down, legs crossed in the air, flipping through a Star Wars comic with a critical expression.

She was referring to Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the 1999 film that marked George Lucas’s return to the saga, and also, the most controve...

Deep beneath the earth, Luke continued descending through the levels of the collapsed mines.
The atmosphere was oppressive, but his telekinetic field kept him isolated and unharmed.
He walked among the ruins of forgotten tunnels and structures collapsed by the underground fire, guided by his domain that allowed him to see the weapon, he was getting closer and closer to it.
Luke's steps grew slower as he approached the weapon.

The Friday night gathering continued.
Howard was at the center this time and, as always, wore a grin that was too wide and had an idea that was way too dangerous.
Andrew and Leonard exchanged a look. They both already recognized that suspicious gleam in Howard’s eyes, the one that only appeared when his imagination and libido collided… which, in Howard’s case, happened fairly often.
“The game is simple,” Howard announced, standing in front of everyone.

A few minutes later, the others arrived: Willa and Haley came together, brought by Claire; Howard and Leonard showed up together, Zach arrived with a friend, and finally Kevin showed up with Archie, who had a mission tonight.

The mist stirred slightly as Luke took a few steps into the abandoned town.
He could feel the weapon’s presence. Motionless, yet to his surprise, he sensed a faint connection.
As if the weapon was calling to him. Not like a voice. Not like a thought. But like a pulse… a subtle tide of energy that seemed to link with him. Something that recognized his bloodline.
“It’s normal for you to have a connection…” said Edgar when Luke told him about it.

“Dad, you always say that…” Andrew said, letting himself be hugged.

Luke was flying toward the border between Ohio and Pennsylvania.
He had made a slight change of plans. Before offering himself as bait, he would recover his family's Soul Weapon.
It made much more sense to secure it first… and fight with it in his possession. Besides, it would be a good opportunity to get familiar with the weapon and start testing it in real combat.
The distance from New York was around 600 to 700 kilometers. Thanks to his recent training, his flying speed...

A few hours before leaving for his mission, Luke opened his laptop. Ready for a video call with Wednesday.
The screen loaded. Instantly, a room appeared: gothic, gloomy, and elegant. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Wednesday Addams stared at him through the camera with her usual expression, unmoving, ink-dark eyes, and a steaming cup of tea between her fingers.
“That was a record time today. You opened Skype pretty fast,” Luke said with that half-smile that always seemed to c...

Palisades High School – Home Stadium
The clock read 7:42, and the game was in its final quarter.
The stadium lights poured down onto the field. The scoreboard showed a lead for Palisades, but not the blowout they were used to. 34 to 21. Comfortable enough.
From the sidelines, the school band’s drums pounded like a steady heartbeat. The home crowd was cheering, though now their voices had quieted...

Stuck between the staircase bars. Again.
No one had any idea when he’d managed to get trapped this time.

“That doesn’t matter!” yelled Luke, indignant.

Luke finally entered the lobby.
The place was dimly lit. A few weak candles barely illuminated the space.
'Only thirty minutes,' Luke thought bitterly.
He walked toward the center, preparing to sit… but noticed a movement behind him.
A figure flipped down from the upper part of the lobby, landing cleanly in his position.
Luke twisted his torso and stepped aside. His attacker's foot slammed against the ground.
He took a few steps back and raised an eyebrow...

It was nighttime. The Addams mansion was completely silent, with only the occasional strange noise echoing through the halls, as if the house itself were haunted.
In one of the many rooms, Luke was sleeping soundly. His breathing was slow, steady. His body relaxed.

Everything seemed calm.
Until, suddenly, his eyes snapped open.

A crazy idea, perhaps, but at least he’d get every possible perspective.
