Luz went back out with Prince, both checking around for the other being that supposedly fell out of the tear. Luz whistled, having told her friends that if they were ever lost, they'd chirp back. Luz looked around, whistling again, guiding Prince to go deeper in to the forest. The stallion sniffed at the ground, trotting deeper and deeper in to the woods.
The witch whistled again, taking her beanie off to hear any sound possible. She pat Prince's side, the stallion stopping, his ears perking up, scanning the area. Luz whistled, her ears perking up. A far off twig snapped, Prince following the sound, picking up the pace, a small clearing available for him to rest in real quick.
He layed down, Luz getting off, Prince shaking his head, "Just a quick small break.." Prince huffed.
"It's okay, I'll go check the area." Luz pat his head, walking towards the trees.
She whistled, going past the trees, just circling where they were resting. Her ears perked up as she heard a very faint whine, the witch looking to her right, going to the pile of leaves, moving them around. She sighed quietly, "Just a part enfield.."
The fox whimpered, their back paws covered in blood. Luz carefully picked it up, returning to Prince, the stallion just stretching out. He went over to Luz, letting her get back on, "Come on, back home..Let's just hope it was a false alarm.."
Prince looked up at the sky, recalling where the sun was, and heading in the opposite direction of the now setting sun. He ran all the way back home, using the new back gate to get in, turning back to a measly dog. Luz adjusted how she held the fox, walking to the door, opening it.
She walked in, Prince following close by, Luz closing and locking the door, walking to the group, "Just a fox.."
Gus looked up from his meal, slurping down the broth, leaving his meat behind as he'd eat it last. The fox looked over, whimpering quietly, Luz walking towards the staircase, "I'll be right back, you guys can eat if you're hungry."
They all said okay, Mattias coming out of the pets room, stretching out, pretty suprised Ay hasn't returned for him yet. He was getting pretty worried actually. Nero got on Mattias' back, taking his little hat off, "Come on, Luz brought something inside." Nero mewed.
Mattias sniffed the air, going upstairs, Luz having gone to the downstairs restroom. "Someone's here." Mattias snarled, sniffing the ground.
He went in to Luz's room, spotting Viney, the witch drinking her tea and reading a book, Luz having gotten her another cup and a book before leaving earlier. "Who are you?" Nero hissed.
Viney pat the bed, not looking up from her book, already getting to an interesting part. Mattias walked over, letting Nero get on the bed, "I'm Viney." The witch answered, turning the page in her book. "You?"
"You're a witch." Mattias barked.
"And?"
Mattias huffed, "Rude..I'm The Mattias Wolkerson the Second. This is Nero."
Viney drank more of her tea, placing the cup down, holding her hand out, a sugar packet dropping in to her palm. "Interesting." Viney opened up the packet, pouring the sugar in her tea. "Did Luz find anyone?"
Nero shook his head, lifting his paw up, licking it to wipe his muzzle, "She brought a fox in apparently." Mattias said, sniffing the air. "Lots of blood."
"Well, that's my department. I'm in healing and Beast Keeping." Viney carefully pulled away from her table desk thing, putting her tea and book down.
She went to the door, then downstairs and to the bathroom Luz was in, the witch currently wrapping it's leg in gauze. "Need any help from the healing witch?"
Luz waved her over, Viney casting a spell circle, the fox relaxing slightly, it's legs still hurting. "Healing spells are different here and on people. It doesn't heal them completely, just closes the wound partway or lightens the bruise." Luz said, carefully picking the fox up.
It yelped, trying to push itself away from her, only to cower, and whimper quietly. Luz walked out of the restroom, Prince and Viney following, the witchling going to the stove. "Viney?"
"I got it." The witch nodded.
Prince grabbed his bowl, taking it over to Viney, the witch just deciding to use that as the foxes bowl. Viney carefully getting some chicken in the bowl, Luz cautiously putting the fox down on the counter. It winced, drawing back from Luz, Viney putting the bowl in front of it.
It hesitated. It sniffed the chicken, taking a small piece, nervously eating it, Luz running her finger down it's nose. "Good fox. You just eat, I'll go find one of Prince's spare beds."
Gus schootched closer to the fox, offering it some chicken from his hand. It gracefully took it, lifting it's head up so it could swallow it. It licked up the smaller chicken pieces from Gus's palm, returning back to the bowl. Suddenly, the front door burst opened, "LUZ I'M HERE WHAT'S WRONG-"
"Hey Mittens." Emira waved.
"Hey Amity!" Gus cheerfully said.
"Hey Ames." Viney nodded.
"Amity!" Prince barked, going over to her, panting as a grin spread on his muzzle.
Luz came from around the corner, having found Nero's old bed, but the fox would be comfy on it either way. "Oh, hey Amity!"
The human pulled Luz over, stepping back with the witchling, "All of you get out-"
Luz looked back up at Amity, her back pressed up against the human, "Amity what's wrong?" Luz asked.
"Why the he|| are there more then five (5) people here-" Amity ranted. "Luz, I'm only accustomed to there being six to seven (6-7) people being in this house- I need all of you to get the hell out before I take Luz with me-"
The witchling tried to slip out of Amity's grasp, the human just wrapping both arms around her. Luz was pulled back a bit more, everyone in the house just silent. Viney came over, taking Amity's hands, removing them from Luz, and pulling her witch back. "You hungry?"
^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^
Luz had explained everything to Amity in a separate room, the human understanding the sudden panicked phone call. Right now, Luz was in Amity's arms, and lap. She had wasted some of her magic on Emira and Viney, having partially healed the witch. Luz purred quietly, relaxing in Amity's grasp.
The human pulled her closer as Emira tried to touch Luz's head by reaching over her sister, Amity glaring at her Emira. "Mine." Amity huffed.
"Sure she's made out of magic and stuff, but that gives you no right to make her your witch. There's plenty of others!" Emira whisper shouted.
Luz tensed, snarling quietly before continuing her purrs, "Exactly! Go find your own! I found this one first!"
Amity kept Luz away from Emira, the witchling pulling her legs back, not wanting to be that rude and kick Emira. "I'll stay over for an extra hour if you kick her." Amity whispered.
Luz glanced up at Amity, shaking her head. "Not enough." Luz huffed.
"Oh?" Amity hummed, thinking about how to raise the stakes to make Luz kick Emira. "I'll get you carob ice cream-"
Luz kicked Emira off the couch, the human falling face first on to the carpet, scaring Prince who was down by the couch. Prince whimpered, his tail drooping down, Emira shooting up, "No no- I didn't mean to- Prince-"
He wailed, rushing back to his room, Mattias coming out. He growled at Emira, barking, and charging after her. He bit her leg, Emira just taking that as defeat. Viney came over, taking Emira's hands, helping Mattias drag the human to the pets room. "WAIT- YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO KILL ME-"
"Tough luck, you made Prince sad." Viney said, dropping the human in the doorway.
Mattias pulled back, biting Emira's shoe, dragging her back in the room, kicking the door to close it. And before you ask, Gus went home. The only humans that knew Luz was a witch was here, except Skara, or Willow, or Camilla. Luz snuggled up to Amity, the human rubbing her back.
Luz purred, Amity looking over at Viney, the witch wanting to plant very nice flowers.
^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^
Amity had gotten Luz to the guest bed, the witchling taking a nap while Amity watched videos by the bed. Luz wouldn't let Amity's hand go, so the human improvised, sitting down by the bed, using Luz's hand as a mini stand for her head.
The witchling released Amity's hand, the human pulling away from the bed, looking back at Luz, "Heya sleepyhead, how'd you rest?"
Luz groaned, covering her face, Amity pulling down Luz's hand, caressing her cheek, "No.." Luz whined, not wanting to wake up. "Bright.."
"I have to go home, so I'll see you tomorrow." Amity said, pulling her hand back.
Luz grabbed her wrist, putting Amity's hand back on her cheek. Luz put her hand over Amity's, shaking her head slowly, "You said extra hour.. You never said when you'd use it..So I use it now.."
Amity cupped Luz's cheek, the witch relaxing, purring quietly. "I really have to go home Luz, it's important.."
"You're important to me too..I drew a flower on you hand with your human highlighters..Stay.."
Amity pulled her hand back, Luz flipping over, her back to Amity, "Luz."
The witch huffed, "Just go..I've kept you long enough.."
Amity got up, patting Luz's head, the witch pulling back, "Go.."
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"..."
"Luz."
"..."
"Luz respond, it's rude not to." Amity muttered, pulling Luz back. "Respond when I ask you to, it's common courtesy."
The witchling pulled back, Amity grabbing her chin, "Luz! Just say okay!"
Hicc. Amity pulled back in an instant, Luz covering her face with her arms, trembling. "Luz- No, no, no- I'm sorry-" Amity ranted, pulling Luz's hands down, cupping her face. "Hey, hey, don't cry. Please, I-I know it's my fault. I'm sorry, Luz.."
The witch whimpered, Amity shushing her quietly, caressing her cheek, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, can you stop crying, please?"
Luz couldn't do anything, she was frozen in place, the only thing she could do, was cry and tremble. She hated this. She hated how many memories this brought, she hated having to be hurt like this again, she really hated it. Amity pulled her hands back, picking up the witchling.
She sat down Luz in her lap, gently rubbing her back, "Shh..It's okay, I'm sorry..Don't cry.."
Luz was tense, Amity already feeling super bad about what she did. Viney came in, just wanting to ask how the heck a shower worked. She stopped mid way entering, glaring at Amity, "What's happening hm?"
"She's crying.." Amity mumbled.
Viney came over, sitting on the bed, Luz turning away from the other witch, clenching on to Amity. "Can you take her..? I have to get going.."
Luz whimpered, Amity rubbing her back, "Don't.." Luz said quietly.
Viney got back up, Amity removing Luz's arms from herself, the witchling trying to go back to the human. "Hey Luzifer, it's okay.."
Amity got up, Viney taking her spot, rubbing Luz's back, the witch crying again. "I'll see you tomorrow Luz.."
The witch tensed, "..O-Okay.."
Amity hesitantly left the room, going downstairs, Venom coming out of the pets room with Emira, "At least Mattias won't kill you now." Venom said, looking up at Emira.
She nodded, "Sure I'm bleeding, but I don't need to model. Thanks for the talk Ven-men."
Amity went to the door, and opened it, Emira exiting the house, "Bye Em." Venom waved.
Emira waved, Amity exiting the house as well, closing the door behind herself. Amity sighed, 'No matter what role I want to play..I'll always hurt Luz..'
Not everyone is meant for the main role, not many get a part, but the easiest part to get? The antagonist.
To be continued.
