Chapter 34: Profanation
Chapter 34: ProfanationOne 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
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.
