Author's note: Here is the epilogue. It features Wednesday's most evil torture method yet.
"Child of woe is wane and delicate...sensitive and on the quiet side, she loves the picnics and outings to the underground caverns...a solemn child, prim in dress and, on the whole, pretty lost...secretive and imaginative, poetic, seems underprivileged and given to occasional tantrums...has six toes on one foot..." — Charles Addams
Epilogue
Wednesday paced back and forth; not as gracefully as normal due to the thick bandaging on her right foot. She should have been on crutches but she'd abandoned them in the back of the family car as soon as she'd gotten home from the hospital. She actually enjoyed the intense shot if pain she would get with every step. It just made what she was about to do even easier.
She turned to her younger brother, currently strapped into the family electric chair. He'd been in this position countless times before. However, his sister had never tortured him quite like this. "So Wens, are you gonna warm it up so it can kill me?" Pugsley asked and glanced over at the main switch.
"No." Wednesday said simply. Pugsley was puzzled. He figured Wednesday wouldn't waste any time.
"Why? Don't you want me to be in pain?" he asked. Wednesday sighed.
"Of course I do. But the thing is, you enjoy being in pain. And I don't want this experience to be the least bit enjoyable for you." Wednesday then turned around to the table where all items of torture were kept. She ignored them all and instead grabbed her iPhone and headphones that she'd set down just a few minutes before.
"What are you going to do with that?" Pugsley asked in a shaky voice. His sister had been mad at him before but this was scarier. Wednesday ignored her brother's question and began going through her music library far slower than necessary.
"Pugsley, do you remember mother's rule about roughhousing?" Wednesday asked.
"Don't leave permanent damage." Pugsley recited as he desperately tried to break the restraints on the chair. It was no use.
"And you know what happened to me at the hospital last night?" Wednesday asked.
"They cut off your toe." Pugsley said and glanced down at his sister's bandaged foot.
"Because...?" Wednesday urged him to continue.
"Because I crushed it with an anvil." The eleven-year old admitted. He knew this wouldn't end well. His sister's slow limping made her seem more dangerous than ever.
"Do human toes grow back?" Wednesday asked rhetorically. Pugsley shook his head slowly.
"So this is permanent damage, correct?" he nodded. Wednesday began stepping closer to where Pugsley sat. She held her iPhone in one hand and her surround sound headset in the other.
"B-but you still have ten toes!" Pugsley pleaded.
"I'm aware." Wednesday said before placing the headset on her brother and sizing it so it fit his head perfectly. "After that day in the Harmony Hut, I swore I would never do something like this to anyone. But unfortunately for you, I've decided to make an exception." She found the song she'd been looking for and pressed her finger down on the touchscreen. The song began to play. Pugsley's eyes instantly widened in fear as soon as he heard the background music.
Drag me headfirst
Fearless
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
"Please Wednesday! Turn it off!" Pugsley screamed. His sister ignored his pleas. As the song continued, he gradually became more frantic.
Our song is the slammin screen door
"Please! I'll give you anything! Do anything! I beg you, turn it off!"
Wednesday's eyes began to widen slightly as the corners of her mouth formed the rarest facial expression of Wednesday Addams; a genuine smile. It was quite easily the most terrifying thing anyone could ever witness. Pugsley wordlessly cried out in agony for another two minutes as Wednesday relished in the fact that she was getting true revenge.
After the song ended, Wednesday took her headphones off her brother's head and began to loosen the leather restraints that had kept Pugsley firmly in place the entire time. It took her a moment to realize that he was crying(he hadn't done so since they were forced to watch The Sound Of Music).
"The next time you consider dropping a heavy metal object on me...don't." And then Wednesday turned around on her good foot and strode out of the room as if she hadn't lost an appendage just twelve hours before. Of course she could still feel her foot protest being walked on so soon, but her body protested against almost everything she did so this wasn't really a new thing.
"I-I'm going to tell mother and father that you did this!" Pugsley called after her. Wednesday turned around and smirked at her brother.
"Do you really think they'd believe I would even consider doing something like this?" She asked. Pugsley sighed sadly in defeat. Of course they wouldn't. Wednesday had known this since she'd come up with the idea the night before as she laid in the horribly soft hospital bed post-surgery. She'd been so annoyed at Lurch for taking her to a hospital when she could have cut the toe off herself, no anesthesia required. He overreacted when he saw the severely mangled extra pinkie toe.
"I'm going to go talk to Grandma and see if she has something strong enough to knock me out. Chloroform just doesn't do the trick anymore." Wednesday said to her brother, whose hair was wet with sweat and was still shaking. She didn't even fear retaliation from him.
In case any of you were wondering, the song Wednesday played for Pugsley was Tiffany Alvord's Taylor Swift Medley. I chose it because it's a medley of almost every famous Taylor Swift song so it's true torture for an Addams(and me). I was torn between it and Omigod You Guys from Legally Blonde: the Musical but I chose Taylor Swift because Wednesday wouldn't go THAT far.
Review whether it's good or bad. I need feedback for improvement.
