( family line mystery and murders pt. 2 )
EPISODE 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ODESSA HAD HER EYES SHUT, ARMS ON THE TABLE LEANT FORWARD.  Her head dropped onto her arms before she sat up rubbing the heels of her palms over her eyes. "We dated for a while, actually, but it happened when he was also dating someone else, and I became the other woman."

Daeva sighed. "I believed everything he told me at the time, and maybe it was true, he claimed he wouldn't do that since he knew me longer and she was just a cover since she was supposedly a normie. I didn't think so but he always said I was jealous, then I told him I was done being the sideline."

"He said I wasn't but then I found out she was pregnant and funnily enough so did I, but he chose her and he left. He was doing what was right I get that, and I guess I also didn't see his hostility towards us outcasts." Daeva explained and Odessa frowned, she watched the way her mother stared at the photo and sighed.

"There was a moment when I was hesitant to send you here because I knew it wouldn't take long for your prying mind to discover it, but I also decided that if you did you were old enough to know." Daeva said to her daughter as Odessa watched her carefully before she reached over and pointed at the boy in the picture.

"Who is that?" She asked and her mom sighed. "Donovan." Daeva said simply and Odessa inhaled sharply before her brows furrowed and she itched her head. "I don't get it though, sheriff Galpin is a normie, so how?"

She was used to calling him sheriff Galpin, it would take a while for her to finally address him as her father. However she wondered if Tyler knew, if he knew he had a half sister, the story behind it, she wondered if sheriff Galpin told him and Tyler just decided to hide it. But if he didn't know- that meant Odessa would have to tell him.

She might have to make sure it was okay for her to tell him.

"Our genes are strong, powerful enough that even if it was any other normie you still would've had the same power. Nothing would've changed." Daeva explained and Odessa nodded standing up deciding she needed to stretch before she turned to her mom.

"The file he was giving you, what was that?" Odessa asked leaning against the wall staring at her mom. "Jeez, can't hide anything from you can I." Daeva muttered before sighing. "That was from the corners office, he said he's been seeing you and Wednesday snooping and he wanted to make sure you didn't find it, it was old but since the doc and Donovan were friends he kept it. It was just a dna test."

Odessa nodded, slowly processing. She didn't have much to say about it, she knew that it would come up and thoughts would come out the moment she got time alone. However she preferred it that way, so pausing her inner turmoil- leaning against the wall she eyed her mother.

"Who really killed Garrett Gates?" She asked, Daeva straightened up and gave her daughter a curious look. "You have many tells, whether you realize it or not." Odessa stated shrugging with crossed arms.

Daeva shook her head. "Guess I know where you picked the questioning up from." Odessa blinked sending her mother a blank look. "To soon?" Odessa nodded and Daeva pursed her lips.

"Alright, anyways. Gomez didn't kill Garrett gates, that night by the time I went downstairs to get morticia and we made it back upstairs we saw Gomez fighting for his life, Morticia hated it. Garrett was frenzied, and it was terrifying, Morticia and I tried to intervene and Garrett was getting dangerously close to pushing Gomez over the edge. So of course me being me" Daeva spoke shaking her head.

"I had attempted and succeeded at getting my hands on Garrett just to burn him a little to get him out of whatever frenzy he was in. It didn't work and he was still foaming at the mouth, I was distracted after he threw Gomez across the floor before he backhanded me into one of the columns." Odessa raised a brow at where this was going and slowly moved back to the seat.

Foaming at the mouth? Odessa kept that key part in mind. "It was like he was a rabid beast. Gomez was winded and on the floor and from what I could see morticia stood up in front of him. She had picked up the sword incase he tried anything and he did, only he was so rabid he walked straight into the sword. She was so mortified she pulled the blade out and Garrett finally seemed to snap out of his frenzy, but he stumbled back and fell off the construction."

Odessa jumped in her seat. "So it was an accident?" Daeva nodded. "It was only when weems screamed that we all finally realized what had happened. I tried to take the sword but gomez would let either of us touch it. He truly did love morticia and that's why he took the sword he was calm for her and made it look like he did it because he knew people wouldn't believe us outcasts."

"Gomez tried to get us to leave, I was supposed to go to my date and have an alibi, while morticia locked herself in her room. Morticia and I left the sword back on the table. Gomez took the blame in order to protect morticia, and I tried to come forward as the eye witness and explain what I saw but they didn't even give me a chance too, all because of who we were." Odessa shook her head, real great police work they had going on back then.

"When they cleared him of any wrongdoing they had no choice but to clear me of those petty charges. But we knew, this would come back to haunt us.." Odessa sat there for a moment, before she furrowed her brows.

"You said Garrett was foaming at the mouth. His eyes were rabid..." She listed off, Daeva nodded with a distant look in her eyes recalling all of it. "I've never seen someone in that much rage."

"Maybe it wasn't rage at all, come with me."

IT SEEMED AS IF MOTHER DAUGHTER DUOS WERE THE THING JUST ABOUT NOW. Odessa had come to the conclusion of possible poison, however as soon as the approached the doors of the cemetery two people joined them.

Wednesday Addams and Morticia Addams had the same idea as the two Vulcans. So here they were indulging in a mother daughter double date, Daeva and morticia standing above the grave while Wednesday and Odessa quietly spoke about what had conspired between their families in the past hours.

However Odessa thanked Wednesday for not having a large reaction when she spilled the details of her father. Wednesday just had a momentarily paused moment before Odessa nodded at her and they continued to shovel. To Wednesday what Odessa had just told her was like the equivalent of Wednesday wearing pink.

As the two dug Odessa peered up at her mother and what she would consider as an aunt. "This reminds me of when Wednesday got her first grave digging kit, and then little o burnt a whole in the ground instead." Morticia said and Odessa snorted.

"Wednesday was so happy she nearly smiled." The girls kept digging as Wednesday turned to both woman. "Are you sure you don't want to join us?" Wednesday asked as Odessa kept shoveling dirt. The older female replicas of the two digging in a grave just years older smiled unsurely.

"Uh..Y'know...." Daeva trailed off pursing her lips. "That's okay darling, we don't want to spoil your fun." Morticia added nodding. The two girls shared a look scoffing before they continued digging. Suddenly Wednesdays shovel hit something making a loud thud, she jabbed it around before they tossed their shovels aside and Odessa kneeled down.

Quickly they dusted the coffin off not caring about getting their hands dirty. The gold plaque read 'Garret Gates' The numbers under it too deteriorated to read it. "Moment of truth." Wednesday-spoke looking over at Odessa who nodded at her.

Wednesday lifted the lid of the coffin, there laid Garrett. Wednesday took a nice whiff and Odessa rolled her eyes shaking her head. "Hey, Garett." Odessa mumbled as the two stared at the body.

"We were right." Wednesday said as they stared at the body, before they had a chance to even look around someone startled them. "Well, well-" their heads jerked up as someone else's light was flashed on them. "What do we have here?"

The four turned to one of the officer lady who approached them. "Guess there's gonna be an Addams family reunion, and a Highschool reunion in lockup tonight." The lady said snidely, however Morticia and Daeva raised their hands up slowly meanwhile Odessa and Wednesday just stared.

"You're all under Arrest."

This time they all put their hands up,

"Are you gonna at least read me my rights?"

THE CELL DOOR SLAMMED SHUT IN FRONT OF ODESSA. They had a cell across the way from morticia and Wednesday who's cell was near Gomez Addams. Morticia and Gomez were kissing and Wednesday looked miserable as Odessa sat against the wall legs crossed as her mother sat against the wall next to her.

"Get comfortable you can post bail in the morning."

Odessa huffed. "Y'know we deserve our phone call." She called out and the officer grumbled something incoherent as odessa moved over laying her head in her mothers lap.

"I've seen jackals with more self-control than you two." The two heard Wednesday say as the lewd noise of kissing echoed around the cells and the rest was incoherent to them as they sat across the way.

Wednesday walked to the front of her cell as Odessa went to the front of theirs. "Did you grab it?" Odessa asked and Wednesday nodded. "Nightshade poisoning." Daeva spoke up causing Odessa to look at her. "I can smell it." Odessa hadn't opened the full extent of her powers which is why she probably didn't have the senses her mother had.

"Which means Garrett was dying before he was stabbed, that's as just...a speeding up process."

Suddenly the Vulcans watched as Wednesdays body jolted and for a moment she was frozen staring upwards and Odessa knew what that meant. "Wednesday?" Odessa called out, after a moment Wednesday snapped back and Odessa sighed in relief before Wednesday looked at all of them.

"The night Garrett died, he had a vial of nightshade poisoning that broke in his pocket. He wasn't just trying to kill father, he was going to use the nightshade poison to murder the entire school." Wednesday explained to them, Morticia was talking to her but Odessa couldn't hear it.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER BAIL DAEVA AND ODESSA LEFT IT UP TO MORTICIA AND WEDNESDAY To confront the mayor, Daeva was already waiting for her daughter in her room as Odessa made her way through the halls, she walked passed one of the open balcony's on the second floor and saw someone sitting on it.

Odessa paused backtracking, he was sitting with one leg over the edge and the other planted on the floor side and he was looking at the view and in one hand was a piece of chalks drawing a small picture of the view.

"Hey." Odessa spoke crossing her arms leaning against the doorframe. To her she looked like a mess, hair disheveled and down, dirt under her fingernails and dirt on her shoes, her dress was a bit dirty from the grave digging.

To him though she looked beautiful, but she always did to him, anyways, as soon as he turned his head, a small smile graced his features. "Hey, how'd it go?" He asked and Odessa sighed walked forward dropping her arms as she approached the stone balcony railing.

"Well, we solved a decade old murder, got m-tylers father off the Addams back, found out who my father was, oh and I got to go grave digging again." Odessa listed and Xavier handed her a piece of charcoal chalk, Odessa grabbed it and situated herself opposite of Xavier.

"Wanna talk about it?" He asked staring at her concentrated face as she started drawing a bit. She paused before looking up at him. "Not yet, I mean the grave digging was fun though." Odessa said shrugging and Xavier chuckled.

"What about you, how was your day?" Odessa asked as they continued to draw on the thick stone top. Xavier shrugged. "Dad couldn't make it, spent the day doing art." Xavier said shrugging it off.

Odessa gave him a small smile, but he continued. "I was actually looking for you last night." He admitted and Odessa avoided eye contact and a smiled tugged at her lips. "Well...I may or may not have spent the night in lockup with my mom."

Xavier blinked. "I'm sorry?"

Odessa snorted. "I spent the night in lockup, turns out grave digging is way more enjoyable when you aren't being caught." Xavier smiled at her and she continued to smear and scribble, it looked like a lot of lines but once at an angle it as a beautiful view.

Odessa looked up after a moment of silence and Xavier was just looking at her. "What?" She asked, Xavier shook his head before returning to drawing as their hands correlated like a special dance. After a moment Odessa looked up and somehow they had gotten a bit closer to each other.

She set her chalk down as they seemed to notice their close proximity. "Sorry about running off the other night, it was-" Odessa trailed off but Xavier shook his head. "It's okay, I understand." He did end up hearing about the accident, it seemed like even though they were outside the air around them got tighter.

Subconsciously they leaned in to each other and Xavier's hand reached up pushing a piece of fallen red hair behind her ear. Odessa's breathe got stuck in her throat as his hand fell to the nape of her neck, their noses almost brushing each others.

"Odessa?"

The two jolted apart as Odessa hopped off the ledge turning to her mother who stood their arms crossed and a very large smirk. Daeva looked past her daughter at the tall boy who continued drawing as if nothing had happened.

"I'd know that hair anywhere, you must be Vincent's boy." Odessa covered her face with her hands thankful her back was facing Xavier so he couldn't see the flush climbing up her face. Xavier nodded and smiled at the older woman. "Xavier Thorpe."

Daeva nodded. "Hmh...interesting. Odie, come on we have one more thing to do." Odessa cringed at the fourteen year old nickname.

"Mom, please no more odie."

She heard Xavier's snort in the back as she walked off with her mother.
