Bold text is when Luz is using her demonic voice. It's deep, intimidating, and has a bit of a hiss to it.


Luz really didn't know how long she could make it. Luz had only made it through half her classes and it was only lunch. She tightened her cowl and clenched her fist. The sound of her bones cracking in her hands alerted everyone at her table.

"Um, Luz?" Skara asked, "Are you okay?"

"I-I-I don't know if I can keep going. I-I-I feel my inner demon... clawing... trying to get out." Luz said.

She held her stomach and groaned in pain. She suddenly got up and ran. Amity got up and followed her. She found Luz in the bathroom leaning over the sink. Luz's hand started shaking and, to Amity's surprise, she punched the mirror. Luz fell to the ground and started crying. Amity ran over and held Luz's hand. She started to pull the glass shards out of Luz's hand, Luz having no reaction to it. She just continued to cry.

"Luz, what's going on? You had control just yesterday."

"I-I-I don't know what's going on Amity. I was in control yesterday, but I woke up today and I am s-s-struggling to keep... it... contained."

Amity saw Luz's red iris start to spread through the rest of her eye.

"Oh no. Oh no! Luz! Luz, take back control!"

Luz grabbed Amity's cowl and shoved her against the stalls. Luz's fist hit right next to Amity's head, going right through the stall door. Amity looked at Luz. Her eyes were red, her canines were sharp, her red aura was back, and her claws were out. Amity started to sweat when she heard a growl come from Luz.

"What's wrong, Amity? I thought you only hung out with the strong ones. I seem pretty strong." Luz, if this was really her, said, "Want to see what I'm truly capable of?"

Luz put her claws on the side of Amity's neck and slowly start to drag them towards her larynx. Amity felt blood trickle down her neck and she made a spell circle. She sent a thing of fire at Luz's face. Luz pulled her claws out of Amity's neck and held her face. Amity looked at Luz and saw a third degree burn covering half her face. Luz looked angrily at Amity as the burn started healing. Amity quickly runs out of the bathroom. She ran back to the lunch table and tried to catch her breath.

"Amity, what's wrong? What happened to your neck?!" Willow asked.

"L-Luz... lost... control."

Willow stood up and ran in the direction of Luz, despite the tables protest. She ran into the hall and saw Luz.

"Oh, Sparda."

Luz seemed to vanish and then reappeared right in front of her.

"Hello, Willow."

"Since when can you teleport?!"

"Since now."

Luz grabbed Willow and threw her into the lockers. Willow wasn't sure if it was the lockers or her bones, but she was certain she heard something broke. She started to run... okay, limp, away. Luz chuckled and held her hand out. She sent a large blast of red fire in Willow's direction. Willow felt the heat getting closer and prepared for the worse.

"Look out!"

Willow knew that voice and before she knew it, she was tackled out of the flame's way. She looked up and saw her savoir.

"Boscha?!" Willow noticed the Triclop's back, "Are you okay?!"

"As long as we get away from her then I will be."

A foot landed in front of them.

"Too late." Luz said. Luz held out a hand, "Let's see what other powers I have."

Luz's hand started to gain a black aura and she was about to end it. Luz went stiff and she fell down. Behind her, was Principal Bump, a glowing crystal in his hand.

"I should've known." He said, "I should've remembered her last name. You two, go to the healer's and then come to my office."

Bump picked up Luz and carried her off. Willow helped Boscha up and Boscha hissed in pain.

"Those are some serious burns, Boscha." Willow said.

"I had to help you."

"T-thanks." Willow said, unsure about why Boscha helped.

They helped each other to the Healers office. Willow had a sprained ankle, a few bruised ribs, and a concussion. Boscha had bad third-degree burns and most of her uniform was burnt off. Willow was getting her ankle and ribs wrapped up while a Healer was putting some kind of cream on Boscha's back.

"Okay, this may hurt, but it's the most effective treatment we have for third degree burns."

Boscha held in the scream that gathered in her throat but she was unable to hold in the tears. Willow noticed this and did something she never thought she'd ever do. She held Boscha's hand. This small act of kindness seemed to work as Boscha mouthed the word 'Thanks' to her. The Healer handed Boscha a cloak.

"This should cover your body without agitating the burns."

They left and headed to Bump's office. Inside, Luz was leaned against the wall, unconscious, and had weird glowing handcuffs on her wrist. In all honesty, she looked horrible. Her skin was pale, her veins were black, and her red aura was fading in and out. Bump clearly saw the looks of horror on their faces and he started to reassure them.

"Fear not, these aren't hurting her. They are suppressing her powers and keeping her at a weak state. After I take them off, she'll be fine in a few minutes." He said, "Anyway, I think I know what the problem is. She doesn't have a way to focus her powers, so her powers are out of control. There is a way to fix that, but it's dangerous."

He put a book in front of them and they focused on it.

"Is... is that-" Willow was about to ask.

"Yes." Bump said, "Find this and it can help her focus her powers."
