A Little Bit of Both (Lumity)

Twenty Three

"You know, Eda," Lilith started, possibly regretting what she was about to confess. "That doesn't... sound half bad."

"Exactly! I already knew I was the better witch and- wait what? Me, come here, to teach kids about being Covenless? Is that even allowed?" Eda asked with genuine curiosity in her voice. "... Or even legal?"

"I'll discuss it with Bump. I started to grow attached to the life style you grew within you. Maybe it should be more... accepted. With regulations, of course."

"That'd be amazing, really, but... I still have to watch for Odalia and I can't really let my guard down and-"

"Don't worry, Edalyn. She won't lay her hands on the girls and as far as I am concerned, our main goal is to try and get them to leave us and Amity alone. Are you giving up so soon?" Lilith said with a coo in her voice.

"You know, Lilith, I like this side of you."

"As do I, sister. As do I."

"Come to think of it, they never really left us alone, have they?" Gus questioned as him and the girls sat down for lunch.

It's been about two days since the little attack on Luz from Boscha happened, and they started to realize one thing that was majorly out of the ordinary: Boscha had been sitting alone for lunch, and no one in the school would walk by. Sometimes they'd catch her staring at them from her own table but she wouldn't even break eye contact which made Luz and her friends just all the more uncomfortable. Sure, some days Skara and Amelia would sit with her but they'd never really... talk? They'd kinda just sit there and silently eat their lunch.

"What do you think happened between them?" Willow asked.

"I don't know but I don't like it." Amity said sternly as she was already staring at Boscha.

"Don't think too hard into it, Amity, really," Luz said as she grabbed her girlfriend's hand and squeezed it. "I'm sure it's just a self-conflict between them-"

"No, there's no way. They never once fought without reason! And even then, they don't ever have any issues since they're all so...alike!" Amity blurted as she tightened her grip onto Luz's hand. "Don't you think it's odd that this is happening right after she pushed you around?"

"I mean, a little?" Luz said with genuine confusion. "I don't really know how I should think about this thoroughly."

"Well I don't trust it, and neither should you."

"Come on, Ams, just try and relax okay? I doubt she will try and push me around again, seriously." Luz said in a reassuring tone as she spoke to her girlfriend. "Especially after what you did? She better have learnt from it."

This earned an eruption of laughter from Luz and her friends as they recall onto what happened just a few days prior. Surprisingly to them, their laughter was suddenly disrupted by the presence of another student, that student being Skara, but she was all by herself and not with Amelia and Boscha like usual.

"Skara... hi?" Amity started. Luz watched her closely while Gus and Willow kind of stiffened in a sense of fear.

"Uhm, h-hi!" Skara answered back with uncertainty in her voice. She looked tired, that being shown with a remnants of bags under her eyes and as well as them looking a bit wet, almost as if she had been crying prior to her walking up to them. She was fiddling with her hands and Luz took note of this within her body language. She looked guilty.

"What brings you here?" Amity asked with a bit of a snarl in her voice; she hadn't noticed her timidness yet and she had a look on her face, one that Luz knew a bit too well: Amity was losing her patience, and she was losing it fast.
