The first smile

Luke saw Walker's punch in slow motion. Normies were very slow. Natasha's and any other outcast's punches were much faster.

He dodged the punch with ease. He didn't even use his observation haki. A normie's speed was inferior to his.

If he had known this, he could have faced the bullies of the past with his physical power alone, but he was never a person who trained his body and did not know any martial arts.

After dodging the punch, he extended his arm and grabbed Walker by the neck. He lifted him off the ground and began to choke him. Walker struggled to free himself, but every effort was futile. Luke's grip had an unreal strength.

"Let go freak!" shouted Carter and Jonah, lunging towards Luke to free their friend.

Wednesday stopped watching the silence and lunged towards the two boys who glared at her with contempt. However, a punch from the girl knocked Carter out in seconds.

The pilgrim's body fell to the ground, unconscious. Jonah looked at this in shock and disbelief, but he could think no more. He already had Wednesday in front of him, about to attack him.

He decided to throw a punch with all his might at the girl's face. Wednesday dodged the punch with the greatest of ease. She grabbed Jonah's arm to put him in a headlock, but just then, she had a vision. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and she was knocked unconscious.

Jonah looked at this with bewilderment but took the opportunity and took Wednesday hostage. He looked over at Luke and saw that he was still choking his friend bit by bit.

"Let him go if you don't want your girlfriend to get hurt!" yelled Jonah, grabbing Wednesday by the neck.

Luke turned his head and noticed Wednesday unconscious and captured by the normie. He stopped straining and released Walker, who fell to his knees, coughing and catching his breath.

'A vision now?' thought Luke, looking at Wednesday unconscious. He looked at Jonah's ugly hand holding Wednesday's neck and frowned. For some reason, he didn't like that this stinky normie was touching Wednesday. His relaxed attitude changed to one of little patience.

"Good. Now-

Before Jonah could finish his sentence, he saw Luke's fist coming towards his face until BAM!

His nose broke, and he felt a pain in his face until he was knocked unconscious like his friend Carter.

Luke caught Wednesday so she wouldn't fall to the ground. He grabbed her by the waist and looked at her face which looked asleep.

Wednesday opened her eyes slowly. The first thing she saw was Luke's torso just inches away from her. She looked up and saw Luke's blue eyes watching her. She also noticed Luke's two hands on her slender waist holding her.

"Are you okay? You were knocked unconscious out of nowhere," Luke asked.

Wednesday noticed Jonah on the ground with a broken nose and unconscious. She understood the situation instantly. Because of her visions, she was knocked unconscious for a few seconds, so she was caught by the normie boy and Luke saved her.

'Saved by a man,' Wednesday thought, cursing her psychic visions.

"It's nothing," Wednesday said, pushing Luke away with her hands and stopping him from. She wasn't used to so much physical contact.

Luke didn't make a big deal about it, he didn't expect to receive Wednesday's thanks. Without a word, he walked over to the normie who took Wednesday.

He bent down and looked at him more clearly. His nose was broken from the blow he had received. However, he was still breathing.

'Should I kill him?' wondered Luke, reaching out his hand towards Jonah's face. His eyes were cold, and he was really debating whether he should kill this normie and his other two friends.

 "Stop, Luke," Wednesday said, and Luke's hand stopped mere inches from Jonah's neck.

"While I second the motion of what you're about to do, it's not the time. Look around," Wednesday added. Luke noticed that several normies had seen the altercation and were watching them.

"Tsch," Luke clicked his tongue, stood up, and started walking toward the exit of Pilgrim World.

"You must remember what I told you the other time," said Wednesday, following Luke.

"What thing?" asked Luke.

"You must be meticulous. Even more so if you want to murder someone. You can't do it in a public place with so many eyes and broad daylight," Wednesday replied as if what she was saying was the most normal thing in the world.

"Yeah, I know. How did you know I wanted to murder him?" asked Luke with a raised eyebrow.

When he was debating whether or not to murder that normie his expression remained the same as ever. He didn't have a psycho look or a crazy grin.

'I don't know. I only knew when I saw your face. Strange,' Wednesday thought with a thoughtful expression.

'Never mind. I have some good news," said Wednesday without answering the question.

"Mm, what is it?" asked Luke, curious. The good news from Wednesday was strange, most likely a calamity for someone else.

"The normie you wanted to kill, will be dead in a couple of hours, and you won't have to do anything. Isn't that good news?" replied Wednesday, and a smile was forming on her attractive face.

Wednesday was very popular, although she didn't know it, nor did she want it. Her appearance was unique and very attractive. Her smile would make many guys fall in love, but she never smiles. She only smiles when talking about a shady subject like the future murder of a person.

As Luke expected, the good news would be a calamity for someone else, but that didn't matter much to him. He was more surprised to see Wednesday's smile. It wasn't a traditional smile showing teeth. Her lips were closed, and a soft curve formed on her face barely lifting the corners of her mouth

"No words, huh?" said Wednesday, thinking Luke was surprised by what she just told him, though it wasn't because of that. It was because of her smile.

"Yeah, right. How do you know that? Can you see the future?" asked Luke, snapping back to reality.

'Telling him won't change anything. Besides, the principal already knows,' Wednesday thought.

"I'm a dual aura user. In addition to the black aura, I possess a violet aura that I awakened a short time ago. When I touched that normie, I had a vision of his future in which he dies," Wednesday explained.

"I see. How accurate are your visions?" asked Luke. Now, he was interested. This normie wasn't supposed to die in the Netflix series. It was a new occurrence.

"They are not 100 percent accurate, but always what I see will happen. It can be changed. At the harvest festival, I saw Rowan being killed by an unknown monster, but you saved him. Another day, I saw an old man being run over by a tractor, and within the hour, I returned to the scene and it happened," Wednesday replied.

"A very convenient power. You can see a few hours into the future and if you want to change it," Luke said.

"Yes, although not everything is clear in the visions. The cause of death is sometimes unclear, and I only see the person's last moments of suffering. Also, it's not good to be knocked unconscious by touching a person or an object," Wednesday said with a slight grimace.

"I see. Were you able to see the cause of the normie's death?" asked Luke.

"Yes. Here's the real good news. That normie will be killed by Hyde in the forest. We will be able to observe and confirm our theory," replied Wednesday.

Luke understood what she meant. She wanted to observe the murder from afar and see if the Hyde mutilated a part of the normie's body and took it with him. If this happened, they could confirm that the Hyde was collecting body parts for a purpose.

This would mean that the Hyde is being controlled by a person, as the beast does not seem the intelligent type to take body parts from its victims. The information in the Nevermore founder's diary about the Hyde would be confirmed.

That's why Wednesday smiled. She could confirm her theories and also witness a murder of a person who wanted to hit her and touch her while she was unconscious.

"Then we should wait for him to leave Pilgrim World and follow him. It is almost two o'clock in the afternoon. In two hours, the place closes," Luke said, looking at the time on his cell phone.

Wednesday nodded. She had to be patient and put up with being in this irritating place for two hours, but she would.

To waste time, they headed to a pilgrim-era tavern to eat, since they hadn't eaten anything in a while.

The food was based on that era and was horrible. They both criticized the culinary art of the pilgrims but ate it since they paid and were hungry. The waiters hated this couple of teenagers, so rude and outspoken, but they were customers they couldn't throw them out.

As dusk began to fall, the visitors began to leave the site. Luke and Wednesday hid and followed Jonah closely. On his face, he had a bandage on his nose. Even though his nose was smashed he had to keep working.

They were not discovered by anyone as Wednesday used her stealth ability on Luke and her. They were imperceptible to the eyes of the normies. As if they melted into the shadows and became almost invisible.

'I need this for when I take the pictures of the Spellmans,' Luke thought in amazement at the stealth ability. The more night it was, the more efficient the skill became.

Another surprising thing is that for the ability to also envelop Luke, he had to be close to Wednesday, and she agreed.

"Let's get closer. The other two are already gone. Only he is left," Wednesday said and started to move. Luke quickly followed her so that the ability would continue to affect him.

Jonah was alone with a broom cleaning the pilgrims' toilets. He cursed under his breath.

"Why did I get to clean toilets today?" stammered Jonah angrily. The day couldn't get any worse. A couple of weirdos beat him up, and now he would be going home later. He didn't know that a couple of weirdos were watching him very closely.
