Part two of "We Can Fix This Together"

Enjoy! 
=================================

Edric and Emira snickered as their younger sister struggled on her crutches. Her abomination lagged behind her as it carried her books.

Amity growled but ignored them as she pushed forward.

"You need help there, Mittens?"

Amity didn't look back as she tried to push herself more ahead. "Why are you two even walking with me? Its too early for you to even cause trouble."

Emira hummed as she sped up to walk beside Amity. She stopped Amity in her tracks and adjusted Amity's hold on the crutches. "We're here to help you, duh!"

Edric walked to the abomination and took the books in his arms with a grunt. "Yeah, no need to waste your magic!" He said.

Amity rolled her eyes but accepted the help as she dismissed her abomination. "Fine."

"Why do you always go so early anyway? School doesn't start for another hour." The younger twin asked.

"Extra credit." Amity lied.

Emira narrowed her eyes at the youngest, who avoided her eyes. Amity's right ear twitched. " Your ear twitches when you lie, Mittens."

Amity nearly stumbled at that claim. Her ears burned as she mentally cursed them. "W-What? No they don't! I'm not lying!" She scowled.

"You are and that's okay!" Emira snickered.

"We've known about the ear thing since you were little, Mittens. Now tell us the truth." Edric said, raising his eyebrow.

Amoty lowered her gaze to the ground as she continued to hop down the path. Her expression softens slightly as she sighs. "I'm waiting for Luz..."

Emira and Edric were taken back by the change in tone. They looked at each other before looking down at their sister. "Is it because of the whole thing with the Owl Lady?"

Amity nodded as she looks at her siblings worriedly. "I just want to see if she's okay. I haven't heard or seen her since Friday. I hope that she would at least show up today for class..."

Emira smiled and placed her hand on Amity's hair. "Someone has gone soft."

"S-Shut up!" Amity blushed.

Edric handed the books to his older twin and scooped Amity in his arms. Amity yelped as she held onto her crutches. She glares at her brother. "What are you doing?!"

"Getting you to school faster! You want to wait for your little girlfriend right?" Edric laughed.

"S-Shes not my- ugh why do I even bother!"
===============================

Luz never showed up to school.

Amity had sat at the steps up until the start of first period. Willow and Gus came by and waited with the Bluggt before heading to class themselves. Amity couldn't risk being late so she made her way to class as well.

It was now lunch time and the three friends sat in silence. Amity kept glancing towards the cafeteria entrance for any sign of the human.

Willow and Gus were unnaturally silence as they ate in silence.

"Uh... have you guys heard from Luz by any chance." Amity asked, setting her fork down.

Willow and Gus share a glance before Willow looks back at Amity. "Not since Friday. You heard what happened right?"
