Human Realm

Chapter 1 : Welcome Home

As Amity Blight fell from the sky, as desperately as she tried, she couldn't quite get a proper spell circle to form. Finally, she got the circle to form and an abomination rose from the ground and caught the young witch. "So this is the human realm?" she asked herself as she hopped down from her abomination. She was about to make it disappear when she heard more screaming. She looked up and saw Willow and Gus falling from the portal in the sky. Her abomination caught them before they could hit the ground. "Where's Luz?" panicked Gus. They then heard another scream. They looked up and saw Luz falling from the portal. "Found her," said Willow. Luz used Eda's staff to fly down to the ground. "Come on!" she exclaimed, "Get on before Belos closes the portal!" At that moment, the portal closed, but not before it spit out a certain white cloaked golden masked coven head without the young witches below noticing. "That's it then," said Willow, "We're stuck here!" "At least you three can still do magic," said Luz, sadly tapping a light glyph only for it to fall to pieces, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten you guys roped into this. I promise that I'll find you guys a way home." "It's okay Luz," Amity said reassuringly, "Because I don't think there'll be much of a home to go back to." "What are we gonna do!?" panicked Gus, "We're lost in the human realm and have nowhere to go!" Luz looked around while Amity and Willow tried to calm down Gus. She then saw the abandoned house that she entered that started it all. She adjusted her beanie on her head. "I think I know where we can go," she said, "But it's not a guarantee that we'll be welcome." "Where will we go?" asked Willow. "Home," replied Luz, "Now come on. If my memory is correct it should be this way." She started walking out of the forest until they go to the road. Luz then looked to her left and saw her old house. "I really hope she still lives here," she said under her breath. Luz then stepped up to the door, the other three REALLY close behind. "Uhm guys?" said Luz, "Personal space please." They backed up off the stairs. "Sorry Luz," said Gus, who was the closest behind her. Luz then slowly raised her hand and rang the doorbell. The four witches waited a minute before the door opened to reveal a Latina woman in a nurse's outfit and red glasses. "Mija?" asked the woman shakily, immediately recognizing her daughter. "Hey mom," said Luz, "I'm back!" "It's been four years mija!" exclaimed Camila Noceda, "Where have you been!" "In a demon realm!" said Gus from behind Luz. "Running from the law!" said Willow from behind Gus. Amity could be seen facepalming from behind Willow, knowing that this was going terribly. "And who are these people?!" asked Camila. "Well mom," said Luz, "This is Gus, Willow, and Amity. And Gus and Willow were correct. I was in a demon realm and running from the law. But these three are my friends and they need shelter. They're lost here and, as of now, have no way home." Luz looked at her mom with sorrowful eyes. "I know I should have gone to camp," she said, holding up Eda's staff and taking Owlbert off of it, "I know I shouldn't have followed Owlbert into that abandoned house. But if I hadn't, I wouldn't have made Willow and Amity be friends again. I wouldn't have made Amity nice to anyone in general. I have done so much good in that world and I'm sorry for leaving. I wanted to come home but I had to destroy the portal." Camila looked at Luz like she was crazy. Gus then drew a spell circle and an illusion of him appeared. "Believe me now?" asked Luz. Camila was shocked. She had never seen anything like it before. "We need somewhere to stay," said Amity, "To lay low in case the emperor comes looking for us." "Okay," said Camila, "I'll give you shelter, but you have to promise me you four will help around the house. I've been without a daughter for four years." Luz rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "Thanks mom," said Luz, "Can I get a hug?" "Of course cariño," she replied. Luz and her mother then pulled each other into a tight hug. "I missed you mami," said Luz, "And I have tried every day to get back to you." Camila smiled at her daughter. "Welcome home Mija."
