#skullivan

The wyvern (Skullivan) I introduce later in the story looks like this:

He is not the pred, but he does try to eat Amity. I drew him myself, as always! :3 I’m really proud of how he looks!

Also here’s the ref for Luz again, with the size comparision, just in case you need it:

Also the beginning of the story is a tiny bit based in my friend just disappearing online for 2-3 days and panicking me... minus the romantic feelings, of course! (To him: so don’t worry about that) The crush part is just because that’s how Amity feels about Luz.

It definitely based in the worry I felt... It was not really that fun... And on top of that my self worth and my confidence in my writing had just crashed...  And I couldn’t vent to him about it and that made me even more sad... (To him again: it’s not your fault at all, please don’t feel bad)

I think that was all I wanted to say? Onto the story, I guess!

I hope you enjoy!

Keep in mind that these characters are minors and they are from the disney channel show The Owl House.

***

Amity’s heart pounded anxiously in her chest, as she thought about how long Luz had been gone from school.

She had been okay with her being gone for a few days. Maybe she had just been busy with something else and hadn’t had time for school. Luz didn’t seem like the type to skip school, but judging from how she usually got in big trouble Amity had figured that was probably the reason.

Until days turned to weeks and Luz still wasn’t back. Willow and Augustus hadn’t heard anything either from what they told. Though they had both seemed very nervous when she asked, so maybe they knew more than they led on.

Amity slumped against her desk, staring down at her homework. If she was going to do anything about this, then she should probably get that done first. She had already lost her place as top student to Willow once, from her ex best friend cheating.

She snorted at the thought, imagining that that had also been her first time seeing Luz. But she felt a slightly heavier thump in her heart, as she thought about her crush. Would she even be able to focus on her homework with Luz being gone?

She couldn’t keep her worried thoughts away, as she tapped her pencil against the desk. Luz could have gotten in big trouble from when she had last seen her… A chill ran down her spine at how easily things could kill her here on the boiling isles, if humans were as fragile as everyone said.

No, Luz is tough, she thought, placing her pencil to the paper. There was no reason to worry about Luz. She can do some really dumb stuff, but it hasn’t gotten her killed yet. But that yet was what she couldn’t let go off. How long would it take before Luz messed up?

Her pencil scrapped a line against the paper, she forgot to lift it away while thinking about Luz. She glared at the line, before erasing it. I can’t focus today… she realized with a small groan. Her brain didn’t let her think about anything but Luz, but in a worse way than normal. It wasn’t those happy fluttering thoughts that made her face heat up in a bright red blush. This was a growing sense of dread that didn’t want to let go of her, until she knew Luz was safe.

She looked over at her door. The Owl House isn’t that far away… she thought, before glancing out her window. I could make it over there and back, before it gets too late. It would be dark in not too long, but she wouldn’t be late. Maybe to dinner, but she could probably come up with some excuse.

She tapped the pencil against the table again, debating if she should tell anyone that she left. Her brother and sister would definitely make fun of her for being so worried, and she wasn’t sure what her parents thought about Luz… She was a little too scared to ask, in case they wouldn’t be very accepting of her friendship with a human. It was better not to bring attention on her.

Her chair scraped against the floor, as she made the decision not to tell anyone where exactly she was going. But even if she didn’t at all, what could go wrong? After all, it was just a short trip to the Owl House.

¨¨

The walk there was surprisingly calming on her nerves, but it wasn’t enough to completely remove her worries. That could only happen when she knew Luz was safe.

She looked up at the darkening sky, wondering how dark it would be when she got there. The forest would be blocking out some of the light, but she could deal with that when she got there. A light spell would be… Her thoughts shifted to Luz again, making her grit her teeth in annoyance. Why does everything remind me of her?! There was no reason something as simple as a light spell should make her think of her crush, but the only thing she could think of was when she first found herself get an ounce of respect for Luz.

She huffed, stomping the ground a little as she walked. If she just knew that Luz was fine, she could relax, and the fact that everything reminded her of Luz would feel much better.

This was going to be an unbearable walk, if she was going to keep thinking about Luz.

¨¨

She stood in front of the forest, quickly casting a light spell.

It was darker than she thought it would be… Maybe she had underestimated the time it would take to walk there.

She stared up at the trees; it would be dark way before she got back. But it wasn’t that dangerous out here, if she stuck to the path that she knew. Unless a wild beast or feral demon had gotten lost in the forest, but that didn’t seem likely.

Another cold chill ran up her spine at the thought of Luz having been caught by a beast. No, Willow or Gus would have told me… Unless they just didn’t want her to know that her crush was dead. It had to be obvious to Willow that she had a crush on Luz. Maybe Luz had died in the claws or jaws of a wild animal, but nobody wanted to tell her.

Her heart pounded too fast in her chest, as she picked up the pace, with the same thought of ‘the faster I get there the faster I’ll know’. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly for a second, trying to ignore the growing panic in her mind. Don’t let Luz be dead…

¨¨

The only thing that distracted her from her thoughts of Luz was her own panting. She was almost about to go into a jog, but not quite, walking way faster than what was close to comfortable.

It didn’t help her calm down that everything was so dark around her. Her light was fine, but it didn’t reach as far as she would have liked.

She tried to ignore the sound of something moving just behind the trees. There’s nothing out there, she tried to convince herself. It’s just some strange noises. But she couldn’t shake the feeling of something watching her. It’s just my imagination.

At least she thought so, until a giant thud sounded to her left, as something big and heavy landed to her right.

Her eyes widened, before she sprinted away from whatever had made the sound.

“Wait! I’m sorry, Amity! I was just going to say hi!”

Amity nearly fell as she spun around to face Luz. That was Luz’s voice! But her eyes didn’t meet Luz’s; they met the legs of a giant beast.

She nearly screamed, thinking it was a trick by the beast, but, before she could, the beast ducked down to look at her, revealing itself to actually be Luz.

She looked a bit sheepish. “Sorry, I guess it’s pretty startling to see something like me… I should have warned you.” She walked over to Amity, before sitting down with her tail curled around her handlike paws. “You know, it’s really nice to see you again!”

Amity had to take a few steps back and tilt her head up to look at Luz’s face. She’s huge. “It’s nice to see you too, Luz.” Out of everything she thought could have happened to Luz, this had not been anything close to what she imagined. “But… what exactly happened to you?” She looked like a giant dark and pink tabby cat with wings.

Luz’s brow furrowed. “I don’t know,” she answered, before suddenly getting up on her legs. “But I’m really happy you’re out here!” She flung herself towards Amity, grasping her tightly in her arms. “I haven’t seen anyone besides Eda, King and Lilith since Willow and Gus came to check on me!”

Amity didn’t know what to do in Luz’s grasp, as she awkwardly tolerated the embrace. “Wait, when did Willow and Gus check on you?”

Luz stayed quiet for a few seconds, as she let go of Amity. “Last week… Nothing happened, but it was nice to see them again!”

Amity stepped back. “Why didn’t they tell me anything?” She couldn’t stop herself from feeling betrayed. Why wouldn’t they tell her that Luz was fine? Or at least tell she wasn’t dead. But then again, maybe she shouldn’t have asked “is Luz okay?”, if she wanted to know if she was dead. Because whether she was okay or not was debatable.

Luz’s wings shuffled a bit, as she smiled a little too wide. “What?” But she didn’t wait for Amity to repeat herself. “Oh, I don’t know, maybe they just didn’t think you would believe them.”

Amity raised an eyebrow at Luz. “Is something wrong?” Luz was acting nervous, but Amity wasn’t sure why.

Luz shook her head. “No, nothing’s wrong!” But she was clearly acting unlike herself. She spread out her wings, quickly changing the subject. “Look! These actually work!” There was no sound of flapping wings, only the rush of air, as she ascended a few meters into the air. “I was practicing flying just before you got here!” She landed and sat down again, before she took on her shy look again. She scratched at the ground with her, now extended, claws.

Amity sighed, deciding to ignore Luz’s strange behavior. “Well, I was just going to check on you, but you seem fine, so I’m just going to head home.” Amity was still concerned about Luz, but at least she knew that she wasn’t dead.

Luz looked at Amity excitedly. “I can give you a ride home!” Her brow furrowed, “Or I can carry some of the way, if you would like that more.”

Amity didn’t really know what to make of the offer. “Why do you want to carry me? My leg is fine now.” Luz had known that Amity’s leg had healed perfectly since before she disappeared from school.

Luz jumped excitedly. “I know, but I still want to carry you!” But her smile faded quickly. “Also I have seen something big up in the air… And I want to make sure you stay safe.” She pulled Amity into a hug again, squeezing her too tightly for it to be comfortable.

Luz’s tongue dragged across her hair, making a shiver run up her spine. “Stop that!” shouted Amity, pushing again her. It was a horrible feeling on its own, but she was more scared that Luz was tasting her.

Luz jumped back. “I’m sorry!” she turned her head away from Amity. “I still don’t really know how to stop myself from doing that…”

Amity scowled up at Luz. “Were you tasting me?!” she shouted accusatorily.

Luz’s eyes widened. “No! I wasn’t!” She shook her head. “Hairs feel bad in my mouth anyways! If I was tasting you; I would have licked your skin.” Luz hung her head, realizing how weird that sounded. “But I wouldn’t taste you; I was brushing your hair!”

Amity glared up at Luz, but she seemed like she was telling the truth. “Okay, I’m sorry…” She realized that Luz’s new form made her very uncomfortable. She was big with silent wings, sharp teeth and just as sharp claws. Overall, a terrifying beast, besides her cute face. “Hold on…” said Amity, as a thought hit her. “Aren’t you scared of human-faced cats?”

Luz laughed. “Actually, it was human souls trapped in cat bodies, but yes that’s terrifying.” She shivered, making her fur stand on end, after finishing her sentence. “I’ve been avoiding looking in the mirror; I don’t want to see myself like this.”

Amity stammered as she spoke, “well, uhm, I still think you have a pretty face.” She cringed at her pathetic attempt to flirt. Seriously? Was that the best I could come up with? Not to mention the stammering… She clenched her jaw, waiting for Luz’s response.  I shouldn’t have said anything…

Luz tilted her head at Amity, raising an eyebrow. “Thanks, but I think combining my face with a cat body is not exactly what I want to look like.” She stared into the emptiness between them, before she smiled. “Wouldn’t it be nice if I was an otter instead? Just an actual otter! Otters are so cute…” Her face lit up even more. “Sea otters hold each other’s paws to not drift apart! They are just adorable in every way!” She did a little bouncy dance with her front paws. “And they have a favorite rock to open clams with!”

Amity felt completely out of the loop. Did Luz just completely ignore my attempt to flirt? She didn’t know if she should be thankful or offended. “That does sound cute like a cute animal.” She paused for a few seconds, before she spoke again. “And, uh, it would be very fitting for you… Since you’re cute too.” Amity felt her face heat up in a bright red blush. Why am I doing this…?

Luz froze, staying silent for a few seconds. “Oh. Ohh! That was what you meant!” She backed up a bit. “I’m sorry; I’m so stupid!” She looked away in embarrassment. “I didn’t think you meant it in that way!” Her face changed from sheepish to concerned, but she didn’t say anything else.

Amity felt horrible all of the sudden. “What?” Her mind immediately jumped to conclusions. Luz doesn’t like me back. She might not even like girls! She immediately took it back. “I wasn’t flirting with you, if that’s what you think!” she shouted, a bit too aggressively.

Luz’s face shifted to confusion, before falling into sadness. “Oh… I’m sorry, it just sounded like that.”

Amity grimaced at her own stupidity. “No, I’m sorry, I…” She was about to say she was flirting, but she didn’t want to seem like a liar. “I shouldn’t have yelled at you.” She definitely just ruined her chances with Luz. “It wasn’t your fault for assuming… And you are still very cute and pretty.”

Luz sighed with disappointment, clearly lost in her own thoughts. A couple seconds passed before she spoke again. “You never answered if I could give you a ride home. Can I?”

Amity still felt embarrassed. “If there is something big and dangerous out there, then it’s probably better.”

Luz lay down on the ground, waiting for Amity crawl up on her own.

Amity felt a tiny bit unsure, but she scrambled up on Luz after a few seconds. Luz’s fur is really soft, she noted, as she felt the fur under her fingertips. It was almost like down, except it wasn’t fluffy in the same way. It barely had any resistance to it. She kept brushing her hands into Luz’s fur after she got up on her back. “What does the dangerous thing even look like?”

Luz turned her head all the way back to look at her, making Amity’s hairs stand on end. “I’m part owl,” she quickly explained. “But I don’t know… I just know it’s big and dark with white patterns.”

Amity nodded. That doesn’t help much. She had hoped that she could figure what creature Luz had seen, but it didn’t matter, as long as it didn’t attack them.

¨¨

Luz walked calmly, but her ears kept twitching in every direction. And it only got worse when they left the cover of trees.

Her wings looked weird the way that she was holding them out. They were slightly extended, but not enough for her to fly. “Why are you doing that with your wings?”

Luz jumped, extending her wings completely, before she realized it was Amity speaking. “I just want to be ready to fly anytime I need to.” She looked up at the sky. “But I’m also scared I’ll drop you, so I don’t really know if I should take off, unless it’s really something dangerous…”

Amity glanced down. “You can fly if you want.” She wasn’t particularly scared of heights. “I won’t fall off.”

Amity felt Luz take a deep breath. “Okay, but promise-” she could feel every muscle in Luz’s body stiffen, as she suddenly hissed, spinning her head all the way around to bite Amity.

Amity didn’t get a chance to react, before Luz snapped her jaws around her and she was slammed to the ground. Her breath was immediately knocked out of her, before a sharp pain stung her back. She squeezed her eyes shut, letting out a pained grunt.

Luz let go off her, before getting knocked to the ground herself, and Amity felt the rush of air from something other than Luz’s wings.

Amity looked up at whatever was causing the sudden blast of wind, only to find her eyes met with the light underbelly of a white and dark purple dragon. Her eyes widened, realizing exactly what dragon it was.

His name wasn’t particularly intimidating, but everybody knew how misleading it was. Skullivan was way more terrifying than his name gave away. But the most petrifying thing was that he wasn’t supposed to be there.

Skullivan lived by the skull and never left the place. What is he doing by Bonesborough? Amity thought, staring up at him with terror. He would try to eat any witch or demon that happened to walk into his territory, always catching the unlucky ones by surprise.

Luz broke her out of her frozen state by hissing loudly and flaring her wings out defensively.

Amity quickly sprinted in behind them, wanting out of Skully’s sight. She wasn’t sure Luz was trying to protect her after what happened, but it was the only place to take cover. Luz had probably flung her out of the way, because she noticed the dragon.

Amity heard the hissing intensify, as Luz got up on her hindlegs to scratch at Skully. She yowled in anger, before hissing just as aggressively.

Skullivan scowled down at them, before hissing back but it sounded more like snake than Luz’s hiss. He didn’t have a scratch mark on him, but he didn’t seem comfortable moving closer to Luz either. He seemed to judge, if it was worth fighting Luz over Amity.

Luz didn’t take her eyes off him for a second, waiting for him to attack her.

Amity couldn’t see much behind Luz’s wings, but she could still clearly hear her hissing and growling loudly. And she could also see Skullivan trying to peek under Luz’s wing to snatch her up. His tongue slipped out to smell the air, before he glanced at Luz again.

Amity felt Luz’s paw grasp her legs, before she brought her in under her chest. Luz mumbled something that Amity couldn’t understand, still staring up at the giant dragon, as she grasped Amity’s legs in her mouth and began dragging her away.

Amity shivered violently, as she felt the warm moistness of Luz’s mouth around her legs. Relax, she told herself, not feeling any calmer. Luz is just pretending I’m her food to get him to leave me alone. That made sense. Luz was surprisingly clever, even if her plans didn’t always work out or had a follow up… She couldn’t help herself from thinking about how clever Luz’s had shown herself to be at the Knee, but she quickly shut the thoughts out. Now is not the time to obsess over Luz!

Skullivan moved closer to Luz, his head tilting to the side as he watched Amity. His pure black eyes didn’t seem to leave her for a second.

Amity felt her heartbeat quicken in terror, as he moved closer to her. His faux skull pattern was even more intimidating than she thought it would be, and it was even more horrifying to watch his jaws open wide in an attempt to snap her up.

His real needle-sharp teeth snapped shut right in front of her, with her only still being alive thanks to Luz suddenly jumping back with Amity’s legs still in her mouth.

Luz let go of her to growl at him, before flipping Amity around to lay on her back.

Amity stared questioningly up at Luz, noticing her apologetic expression.

Amity gasped in horror, when she felt Luz’s paws shove her up towards her wide-open jaws right over her head.

Luz’s sharp fangs glistened in the faint light of the night sky, and Amity noticed how catlike Luz’s tongue was, before it really hit her what was happening. I’m getting eaten! She thought distress. She felt her hairs stand on end again, as she realized she was staring straight down Luz’s throat. The same throat she would be going down in a matter of seconds.

Some of Luz’s drool trickled onto Amity’s face, as she screamed, “STOP!” She wriggling in Luz’s grasp, trying to avoid staring at the gaping mouth in front of her. “Stop, please, eating me yourself won’t help!” She writhed backwards, not wanting to be any sort of beast’s dinner. “Let go!”

Amity couldn’t see Skully’s face, but she heard him let out an annoyed growl.

Luz quickly shoved as much of Amity in as she could, apparently not finding Amity’s pleas to be let go the slightest bit worth entertaining.

Amity tried desperately to get back out and to free her arms and hands, but Luz was holding tightly onto her. There was no change she was using her magic this way, much less getting back out.  And even if she did get back out; she was just going to get eaten by Skullivan.

The thought made her pause. Both outcomes would result in her death… What exactly could she do to get out of this?

Amity felt Luz’s throat at the top of her head, realizing that there wasn’t anymore time to think about whether she should escape or not.

She smacked her head into Luz’s palate, hoping to trigger her gag reflex, but nothing happened. “Let me go!” she screamed again. “Please, Luz! I don’t want to be eaten!”

Luz took a deep breathe, before swallowing. The swallow pulled Amity’s head completely into Luz’s throat.

Amity felt her heart hammer away in her chest. “Stop!” she shouted, feeling Luz’s throat squelch at her movements. She cringed slightly at the warm moist feeling of the throat, as she still tried to squirm backwards.

Luz’s grip tightened around her, before she tilted her head up and literally shoved Amity down into her throat. Her throat pulled Amity farther down in another strong gulp.

STOP! She didn’t even speak her thought out loud anymore; she just wanted it to stop. Everything that had happened; the entire night, everything. It had to stop; she couldn’t be getting eaten by Luz.

She was dragged even farther down inside Luz’s gullet, feeling the hopelessness of her situation settle in. She was getting swallowed alive by a giant beast, who used to be Luz. Please just be trying to make Skullivan leave. She squirmed and realized the only part of her still outside was her feet.

Luz swallowed again, as Amity began crying.

She tried to writhe backwards once more, but she knew it wasn’t going to save her. She could already feel Luz’s tongue lurch up to swallow again. And a second after, Luz swallowed the last of her down.

Luz only had to swallow that last time to seal her fate.

It barely took a second before her head squeezed into Luz’s stomach. Her entire body tensed, as she realized what it meant.

There was a lot more room in Luz’s stomach than she expected, but that didn’t change the fact that it was still her stomach. She halfway inside her stomach, before she hit the end of it. Yet it still stretched farther out. It was incredibly stretchy.

The last of her slid into Luz’s stomach after a few more seconds, and Luz began hissing violently again.

There was an annoyed hiss-like screech from Skullivan.

Amity could feel that Luz was doing something, but not exactly what. That doesn’t matter! She pressed against Luz’s stomach, trying to turn herself back around. “Let me out!” she shouted, pressing against her stomach walls only to feel them stretch easily under her hands.

She hated that feeling, the stretchiness felt too wobbly under her hands and she slipped.

She squeezed her eyes shut, not wanting to get any acid in them, before a realization hit her. The stomach she was in was not very stomach-like. It was easy to breathe and she couldn’t even feel a tingle of pain… Other than the one in her back from being flung onto the ground, which was getting quite bad from even just some of her adrenaline leaving her body. If this wasn’t an actual stomach, what was it? I wonder what this means.

She didn’t get to think more about it, as Luz yowled loudly in pain, before hissing again. Amity suddenly realize that this was to protect her. Skullivan couldn’t get to her, if she had already been eaten. The strange movements she was feeling was Luz fighting a dragon to keep her safe.

Amity had to give it a second thought. It wasn’t that Luz wouldn’t defend her from anything that big and tough, but she was unsure if she was reading the situation right. Am I safe? She hesitated. What if my back is just distracting me from the pain in the rest of my body? She lifted her hand, squeezing her eyes shut, before casting a light spell.

She slowly opened them, letting them get adjust to the light, before checking her hands. They weren’t burnt at all. Luz wasn’t trying to kill her.

It wasn’t as unnerving anymore knowing that.

She squirmed around to lay on her back; she could relax until Luz let her back out.

There was another loud screech from Skully, before she could feel Luz starting to relax. She was still panting, but she seemed to be trying to control her breathing.

There were another couple seconds of rapid breathing, before Luz finally spoke up. “Are you okay, Amity?”

She felt Luz’s paw press against her back, but not enough to be painful. It was a bit comforting. “Yeah, I’m fine, but couldn’t you have told me I was going to be fine?”

Luz went quiet for a few seconds. “Sorry, my mind felt really jumbled. It also happened when I ate King, but that got way worse.” It was quiet again.

Amity wasn’t sure what to do with that. “Is King okay?”

“Yep! Although it was a pretty bad night… I thought I had killed him! Man, I’m so glad I didn’t…”

Amity definitely felt out of the loop. “Uh…” She shivered, thinking about it. “Can you let me out now?” It was also unnerving to think that she was inside Luz’s body. She dug her nails into her palm.

Again, Luz went quiet. “I don’t really feel like it’s safe… What if that dragon attacks us again?” Luz’s tone raised. “I barely managed to get you out of the way! And I hurt you… But I can make it up to you by carrying you home!”

Amity sighed. Luz didn’t want to let her out, but at least she wasn’t dead… Her back just hurt a lot, and it only seemed to be getting worse. She had never been unhappy with her track until now. The healing track would have been much handier than abominations, whenever she spent time with Luz. With her already having had broken a leg and now gotten her back slammed into the ground.

¨¨

Amity stayed quiet for the rest of the travel home. She was too exhausted to speak.

Amity jolted in surprise when Luz spoke. “Can you turn around, please? So it’s easier to get you pack out?”

Amity groaned, thinking about the pain in her back. “I’ll try,” she stated, before twisting to the side. It hurt a lot more than she expected, feeling like her back was attack itself, but she managed to turn around. “Can you let me out?”

Luz didn’t answer, as she began heaving.

¨¨

After a little bit of time, Amity slipped back out of Luz’s mouth. Her friend tried to dry her off with a paw and Amity didn’t stop her.

Luz tilted her head down at her with a sad frown. “I’m really sorry all this happened…”

Amity still didn’t really want to speak. She had thought a lot about how she had ruined her chances with Luz… She felt incredibly stupid for it. Luz might have returned some of her feelings, if she had just let her speak. “Luz… I want to tell you something.”

Luz stared down at her, making her feel even more nervous. “What is it?”

She looked away from Luz. “I was trying to flirt with you out in the forest.” She felt bad for lying about it. “I just didn’t want you to reject me, so I lied to you… I’m sorry; I really thought you wouldn’t have liked me back.”

Luz smiled. “It’s okay!” Her mouth hung open strangely, before her eyes widened. “Wait! You actually like me? Seriously? Like you would want to date me?” Luz’s left ear twitched. “Please say that’s what you mean!” She bounced lightly her front paws and Amity could nearly see how much Luz’s heart had to be pounding with excitement.

“That is what I mea-” she didn’t get to finish her sentence, before Luz scooped her up in her paws. “-n.”

Luz quickly showed her into her mouth again, making Amity jerk backwards. “Hey! You just let me out!” she exclaimed with a small laugh. She wasn’t annoyed at all; she was just a bit confused. Why was she suddenly trying to eat her again? “Spit me out!”

Luz did as she was told, suddenly purring powerfully. “I’m sorry, I’m just so happy!” She licked Amity’s hair, trying to brush the saliva out of it. “I can’t believe how happy I feel right now!”

Amity raised an eyebrow at Luz. “Wait, that’s a happiness response for you?”

Luz nodded vigorously, before a bit of unsureness showed itself on her face. “I thought I had gotten better at not eating people…” she thought about it a bit. “Oh well, I guess I didn’t actually go through with it.” She shrugged, before placing Amity back at the ground. “But I guess you have to get home now…” she stated with a deep purr, looking gloomily over at the Blight manor.

Amity felt bad about leaving Luz like that. “I could come by…” she thought about it. Nope, not with Skullivan around the forest. “You can come by tomorrow… if you want?”

Luz immediately smiled brightly. “I will!” she spread her wings out. “See you tomorrow!”

Again, Luz ascended without a sound besides the rushing air around her.

“Yeah! See you!” Amity shouted back to her, before she flew off.

Now all she had to do was explain why she came home so incredibly slimy.

Before she had even gotten inside the gate, the door to the manor flew open and both her older siblings ran out towards her. They definitely saw what just happened, thought Amity with an annoyed grimace.

They reached her before she barely got anywhere close to their home. “Did Luz just throw you up?!” Edric shouted in surprise.

Amity looked up at him with a small glare. “Depends on what you’re talking about.” It wasn’t meant to be defensive, but it came off that way and she didn’t care to correct it.

They both stared at her. “Yeah, okay, maybe that was a stupid question.” Edric admitted. “But how are you still alive? And what happened to Luz? That was Luz, right?”

Amity sighed. “Yes, that was Luz… And why don’t you ask Luz both of those things?” she looked around him. “I would really like to take a shower, if you don’t mind.”

“But Luz already flew away.”

Amity scowled slightly. “That’s really not my problem.” She sounded more annoyed than she was, in reality, she was just tired and really wanted to take a shower and rush to bed.

She walked inside, before the thought of dinner even hit her, but she was slowly starting to consider just going to bed without dinner. She still had her homework, a shower and if she had to get something to eat too, that was too much. She just wanted to lay down in a soft bed and drift off to sleep.

¨¨

She didn’t get much of a choice about dinner, as she happened to have gotten back just a little before it was time to eat. Of course, that meant she was still in the shower and the others had to wait for her, but it was the least of her worries.

It all went too slow for her as she thought about her unfinished homework. I have to get it done or I will fall behind in class… Or develop a bad habit. It was unnecessary worries, but they still hit her. The thought of not finishing her homework made her feel sick. I need to get started…

She sat at her desk, her back still feeling horrible. But she pushed through the pain to get her homework done.

It took a long time of making sure it was perfect and not rushed, before she could finally go to bed.

She made a pained face again, as she finally got to lay down. Her back still felt like it was stabbing itself, but it wasn’t worse than the time she hurt her leg. Both in terms of pain and damage; it was nothing. But that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

The only thing that distracted her from her pain was that she finally knew that Luz was okay. As long as she knew that, then there wasn’t much else to worry about. Other than how Luz was going to become herself again, but that was a worry for another day. She was fine with Luz being alive, the important thing was that Luz was alive…

She smiled with closed eyes, as she remembered what had happened not long ago. Luz actually likes me back… It was still hard for her to believe, but that didn’t change the fact that the thought made her heart flutter. We could be a couple, if everything goes well.

After a few minutes, she fell asleep.

***

And that’s the end! :D

I couldn’t squeeze a mention of it in there, without it messing with the story, but Luz actually ate Willow and Gus too when she met them. That was way they didn’t say anything about Luz (partly) and why Luz acted so awkward around Amity after the mention of them. Also why Luz was like “I thought I had gotten better at not eating people...” Which, she has, she didn’t eat Amity as soon as she saw her. She just got so overwhelmingly happy that she couldn’t stop, before Amity asked her to.

Not sure I’ll write that encounter though, because Gus is even younger than the rest of them... Probably won’t. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, even though I know my intentions. And I don’t have any hidden ones. (lol, that’s a reference to my first popular ((and original)) story, hidden intentions)

Anyways, I think that was all I wanted to say about that? Other than my brain is soooo empty of ideas... I really love writing about this fluffy monster though. It’s fun! Big cuddly monster Luz cuddles people by eating them (almost sounds like a headline) It’s not original at all, but hey, it’s fun! So I see why other people write OCs like that!
