A/N: Heart wrenching chapter if I do say so myself.
Morticia's POV
"Hello, mother." I called, stepping into my house. I laid my bookbag on the rug carefully.
"Morticia, dear! Come into the sitting room!" I heard mother call back. Obeying her instructions, I made my way to the sitting room. Mother sat there, a small smile on her lips. Ohpelia sat beside her on the sofa, her eyes glimmering happily. Then I saw an old woman, sitting in one of our armchairs. She wore a shawl over her shoulders, and an almost toothless smile was placed on her mouth. Then a plump-like teenage boy sat next to the strange woman, a goofy smile on his face. He was bald, and had dark circles under his eyes, like he hadn't slept in weeks. I saw Gomez standing next to the boy and woman, and I smiled. I was making my way to him, but he shook his head quickly, causing me to stop in my tracks. "Sit down," Mother ordered, pointing to a chair. I sat down, not questioning the new people. Mother always had people in here, for meetings and talk. She was one of those neighborhood mothers. "Mrs. Addams," She looked at the woman. "And I have to come to the decision that Ophelia and Gomez are to marry in a week following Wednesday." Mother announced. My face fell. I looked over at Gomez, who shrugged his shoulders sadly. His face hid no disappointment. My heart shattered, and all emotions from my body fled. It felt as though my blood had stopped, my skin turning white.
"Congratulations," I mumbled, getting up from my seat. I made my way upstairs, ignoring mothers orders telling me to sit back down. I slammed my door, and jumped on my bed, small tears falling down my face. Nilekanta sat in her cage patiently, watching me. Her tongue flicked in and out of her mouth, and she rattled her tail every now and then. "How could they do this to me, Nilekanta?" I sobbed, getting out of bed and looking at her. She blinked. "I mean, why Ophelia? Why couldn't she be married to the other boy?" I pleaded, my eyes getting blurier and blurier.
