Is This Love Or Hate?

Chapter 35.

"Oh, my sleeping schedule is terrible so I carry this everywhere because I'm a very busy person and hardly gets sleep." Luz smiled and went back to her normal face as she had already finished laying down her futon. Luz yawned and Amity lied down on her bed.

"Won't your back hurt when you wake up tomorrow?" Amity asked. "Its better than waking up tired and also waking up around 3 to take coffee to start doing paperwork." Amity giggled. "I- I know you woukd feel cold, so you can come lie down on my bed!" Amity said, like the tsundere girl she is.

"Are you sure?" Luz was surprised when she heard that. "You don't!?" Amity exclaimed. Luz kept her futon in the Item Box and lied down on Amity's bed. Amity shifted far away from Luz because she wanted to avoid contact. She switched off the lights and everywhere was quiet and dark.

The windows were opened and wind blew, and Amity started shivering. Luz held her hand and dragged her  close to her body. "W-w-hat are you d-doing!?" Amity said. "Would you rather shiver to death and regret it in the morning, or even use this opportunity to learn more about your enemy and also get warm?" Amity kept quiet.

"I'll rather do the second one..." Amity said it in a very low tone. "That's nice to hear." Amity started getting warm than before. "She smells like flowers and cinnamon." Amity thought in her mind. When she looked up, she saw that Luz was already fast asleep. Amity touched Luz's eye, where there was a scratch and frowned. "Danger and Death comes her way everyday." She shaked her head and decided to look for Luz's weakness around her body.

Luz didn't specifically have a weakness. Luz could only die, if someone could use poison to kill her directly at her heart. "I can't- seem to find anything!" After minutes of searching around, Luz didn't even move an inch or feel anything while Amity searched around her body. "I know I will find something!"

Amity didn't find anything. She was too tired that her body was so weak, she just buried her head on Luz's chest. Amity looked at how adorable Luz was sleeping and she smiled. "I don't think I can deny it." Amity went to sleep and the two girls started sleeping in each other arms.

The Next Morning...
"Ugh, this is so much worse than waking up 3am in the morning to drink coffee." Luz sighed and started making coffee for her to drink. "Shit, the paperwork!" Luz felt like dying at this moment because of the amount of work she had to do. Investigation on Dorcas and Doris's plans, paperwork, learming more magic powers and future things that are yet to be discussed with James.

"Luz? What are you doing here?" Emira asked. "Oh, you two were even around. Good morning Edric and Emira." Luz sipped her coffee. "Good morning too." They said at the same time. "Oh, I stayed over at your house because of your mother and Amity's problem." Edric and Emira completely understood.

"I know there was nothing that you two could do because of how terrifying your mother is. She would shut both of you up and tell you to act like nothing is happening, all for her status in the society. So sickening. Even my mother can't do that." They all shaked her head as Odalia came downstairs. "What are you still doing here?" Odalia said in a mean way. "Protecting Amity away from you." Luz smiled and sipped her coffee. "What is that? Coffee? How dare you take something that belongs to this house!?" Odalia acted quickly.

"Mrs Blight, do calm down. Isn't it a bit too early to start fighting? If a visitor was here, wouldn't you attend to his/her service? You refused to do so for me, so I might as well do as I please. Aren't I right?" Odalia was speechless. "Don't worry, I used my own cup so that you won't jump into conclusions like the person you are." Luz smiled and kept on sipping her coffee.

"But I must say, this is really good!" Luz wasn't trying to anger Odalia at all, even Edric and Emira thought she was doing that but she wasn't. Luz wasn't the person that would always want a fight at all. She was more like a lazy person that was blessed with supernatural powers from God.

"Could you shut up!?" Odalia said as Luz looked at her, still sipping her coffee. Amity finally woke up and came downstairs, just for her to see that Luz was only standing in the kitchen as Odalia was insulting Luz, while Edric and Emira were just standing. "To be frank, doesn't this get too tiring?" Luz said to Odalia.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make you angry. I'm only speaking facts. When will you outgrow this? You're a grown up woman, who has 3 children and a husband to take care of. I pity the fact that you don't have shame while demonstrating abuse to your own daughter." Luz shaked her head in disgust.

Luz saw Amity on the stairs as Luz waved at her. "Amity! Good morning. How was your night?" Amity just wanted to melt at the moment but she decided to keep her cool. "It was alright." Amity yawned. Odalia secretly carried a knife and threw it, making sure it would hit Luz's chest. Luz immediately caught it with her finger. Thank Titan for fast reflexes, to be honest.

"Oh." Luz said and started laughing villain-like. "So this is what you want to start doing, right? Killing innocent children that is only trying to correct the wrong? I don't even understand how you became a mother. I pity the husband that married you. No, let me not say that. I pity your own life!" Luz started laughing because of how funny it is but all of them were just shocked.

"Speaking of the devil, here's the man!" Alador came downstairs as he greeted all of them and saw Luz. He immediately knelt down and came to her service. "No, you don't need to kneel down! Just take me as a friend of this family!" Luz said to Alador. "What's your name sir?" Luz asked. "She's Odalia, I'm Alador." Alador said with fear in his voice.

He stood up and when he saw Luz, he was scared. Luz was smiling so wickedly that people would run for their life when they saw this face. "Ah. Alador and Odalia. What beautiful names." Luz said. "I'm Luz. Its very nice to meet you. Ah, where are my manners? Good morning, Alador." Luz's voice was so deep and scary.

"Alador. Did I tell you how much I despise your wife?"
