Our Week Off Together!

Second Day, Part 2

"Make your choice now, Azura!" The Dark Lord zaps another bolt of energy into the beam pinning the witch's rival, Hecate, sending painful shocks throughout her body. "Either save your friend and risk letting me escape! Or give up her life to try and stop me!"

"Do it, Azura!" Hecate cried as another painful shock emits through her, "If he escapes then this world will be trapped in endless night! You must!"

"Don't do it, Azura!"

"Luz! Shh!"

"Yes, Azura! Listen to the darkness in your heart, let the rage consume you!"

The Good Witch chuckles, breaking the villain's prominence. She twirls her staff and plants the end to the ground. Her eyes open with illuminating light, she drags the staff below her leaving behind a glowing trace of a circle then slams the palm of her hand to the ground. Unleashing a wave of magical energy, knocking the Dark Lord back but harmlessly passes through Hecate as the magical prison breaks hold.

The multi-headed witch rubbed all of her eyes and looked up in surprise to see Azura standing before her with her hand out. "Hecate, you offered for us to join as allies because we couldn't beat him alone," the Good Witch gives a warm smile, "But why not finish him off together... as friends?"

Hecate stares at the hand before her. Hesitantly, she reaches out her own but before she could take it the image distorts, stuttering and lagging before the frame freezes with a loud audio error. Both Luz and Amity let out frustrated groans.

"It was about to get to the best part!" Amity whined, "That fight scene is still hailed as one of the best animated sequences in the movie!"

Luz picks up the ball and inspects it closely from all sides for anything. She shakes the object in her hand, briefly causing the movie to reappear but knows they can't finish it with her moving it around so much. She decides to shut it off then plants her head onto the table.

"Eda could fix it but she's probably asleep by now," Luz yawns, "Guess we should do the same. Sorry about that."

"No worries, we can still finish it later," suggested Amity. Her scroll-phone buzzes with a text message alert. She unlocks it and is greeted by a screenshot of her siblings squeezing their faces close to the camera making dumb faces with a message below saying, 'Hope you are as bored as we are.'

Amity rolls her eyes but couldn't suppress the feeling to smile. She thought about what to send back but before she could hit a key, another text from them popped up.

'Don't worry, they still don't know a thing.'

Amity's smile faded and she felt a lump forming in her throat. She goes to close her phone until Luz pressed her face next to hers to see the picture, "Aw! I wish I had siblings as cool as them."

Amity jumps and fumbles the phone in her hand, nearly dropping it before she quickly conjures an Abomination's hand to grab it. She exhales in relief before casting a glare at her, "Luz! What did I tell you about personal space!?"

"To give you a heads up and let you take deep breaths before giving the okay sign?"

"... sure whatever," Amity sighs, "I didn't mean to snap like that, I'm sorry. I'm still worried about what my parents will do if they find out."

"They're not gonna find out," Luz reassures her and takes a seat on the arm couch.

"What if they do? You saw what they said they'd do to Willow if I didn't stop being friends with her. If they found out I was lying and say the same about you, I couldn't bare to-"
