Uhh. Well this took a while. Sorry if this is too late, you see school has been hard to put it blaintly. Hope you can still enjoy this clusterfuck anyways
"W-Who are you?! Where are my siblings!" Amity screamed terrified, jumping out of the couch, at the sight of the feminine masked figure.
"Don't worry Miss Blight, your siblings are alive. Here why don't you say hi to them?" the camera starts to move as it appears to be levitating, showing a black walled room with torchers lighting, it turns and Ed and Em are able to be seen lying unconscious next to a centered pillar. Ed is able to be seen with a black eye, several bruises and with bloody banges covering his upper right leg. Em on the other hand only has a few small bruises and some lightly blooded bandages on her forehead.
"YOU BASTARD WHAT DID TO THEM YOU BASTARD?!"
"Miss Blight I can assure you that they are being treated, there's no need to be upset. Now could you turn the scroll there to Miss Noceda?"
Luz got up and moved in closer and touched Amity in the shoulder. The witch looked at the Latina who nodded. Luz grabbed the scroll.
"What do you want from me?" Luz questioned
"Ah. Miss Noceda, we finally meet face-to-face."
"I said, what do you want?"
"Direct, I like that. Well let me be plain and simple Miss Noceda, you are either at the doors of the Emperors Palace by morning or the twin will be publicly petrified for assault and attempted murder on Emperor's Coven guards."
"WHAT?! W-WHY?! What do you want from me?! You already have what's left of the portal!"
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know that? It'll be answered once you step inside. By all means bring your friends, I won't tell you to come alone since you'll ignore that. I'll give you time to ponder if you really like those two over there." She chuckles "I'll hopefully see you tomorrow." And so, she hangs up.
The two teenagers are left speechless, still processing what had happen in these seconds.
"They have Em and Ed…They have Em Ed…" Amity mutters crumbling to the ground
"Amity?"
The witch turns to Luz holding tears
"Luz…T-They have Em and Ed. Because of me."
"Amity don't say that! It's not your fault." Luz says pushing Amity into a hug
"Yes, it is!"
Eda, and Lilith come from the kitchen after hearing the shouting. King also woke up from all the commotion.
"What happened we heard shouting." Eda asked
"Again" King mutters as he gets up from the couch.
"Eda t-they got the twins." Luz looked up to her mentor
"Who got the twins?" Lilith asked as she reached towards the two.
Luz flinched seeing the witch who had previously tried to kill her get so close to her. (she isn't that mad anymore but anyone would do that even if not on purpose) Noticing that, Lilith stopped mid movement and kneeled down to be at their level.
Kill her. KILL HER! She hurt you. She hurt Eda. That's what she deserves! A voice echoed on the back of Luz's mind
"Luz who took the twins."
This had been the first time Lilith had called Luz without trying to call her human first. Her voice was stern yet soft which surprised Luz.
"The Emperor's Coven." The Latina whispered
Lilith stood in shock, she knew what the Emperor's Coven could do and what they'd be willing to give for it because she did it, but kidnaping and hurting children? Even she wouldn't do that, for the most part.
"What did they say?" Eda asked now kneeled down in front of them as well
"They want me."
"What do you mean they what you?"
"They demanded me to be at the doors of the palace by the morning or they'd petrify the twins."
"Why? Lily why does your ex-coven want that?"
"I-I-I don't know. We never had plans for that. It was also not like Belos told me all his plans. What we have to do now is stay calm and analyze our situation."
"CALM?! YOU WANT ME TO BE CALM?!" Amity angerly yelled out snapping out of her shock and pulling of her hug with Luz. "They have MY siblings, and YOU who worked with THEM. You're just going to make us loose time, maybe your still with them and-"
"Amity." Luz put a hand on her shoulder
"WHAT?!" Amity's eyes widened, she just yelled at Luz for no reason.
"For as much as I hate to say it, Lilith is right, we need to stay calm."
"But how can I stay calm? They have the only good family I have left."
"That's not true. We're your family as well. We can fix this together. (Well well well. How the turntables)
"So what do we do?" King asked
"You? Nothing. They want me so I'm going in alone."
"No you're not. That's the last thing we want."
"But Eda-"
"No. Naha, no buts. We're doing this together. You're already too messed up to do this alone. Besides Amity has the right to go as well, if she wants that is."
"I'm not gonna let anyone hurt my siblings. Also I'm totally not letting you do this alone."
"There's no arguing with you two is there?"
"No." Eda and Amity say in unison
"Why don't you call your other friends as well?" Lilith asked
"And why would we do that? They have nothing to do with this a-and I don't want to put them in danger again."
"Luz for as much as you're right, Lily is a lot more weaker than she used to be and I can barely cast glyph magic, as much as I hate to admit it. Amity I a great help but she and especially you haven't had a good night sleep in a while and that does take a toll on people. Having Willow and Gus's help could prove vital in a dire situation."
"I guess you do have a point there, I just don't want more people to get hurt because of me."
"I understand that Luz, I'm not going to lie to you, I'm scared. I'm scared that something bad happens to you, I'm scared I might never get my magic back, I'm afraid..." she pauses "I'm afraid to loose you. Nonetheless I'm taking that risk even though it kills me inside. These are the kind of things we don't control but hiding behind fear won't fix it."
At Willow's house
Willow had just gone to bed. Despite loving plants, she only two small plants in her bedroom, her dads said big plants occupied to much space. She wasn't bothered by it because that was true, they do occupy large ammounts of space. She decided to sleep early today due to worry for luz. 'If I slept in, I should be able to check on Luz earlier.' she tought to herself before going to bed.
BUZZ
Her scroll rang. The begrudging got off her bed and garbbed her scroll, which she had put in her table in the oposite side of the room. It was Amity. 'Weird. What would Amity want at these hours? It's like midnight. Unless...' she thought
"Hi Amity is there something-" she's interrupted by Amity talking so fast and probably hyperventilating to which she doesn't undertstands anything. "Amity calm down. I need you to take a deep breath okay?"
"Okay..." she agreed calming down slightly
"Are you better now? she hummed in response "Good, now what's wrong."
After a few minues, Amity finishes explaing pausing several times
"Are you and Luz okay?!"
"Yes. I mean it's not like we're actually fine but we're managing."
"I see. You really needed to get that off your system."
"Yeah. With how Luz is I couldn't breakdown if front of her."
"I understand. I'll get there as soon as I can in the morning."
"Willow?"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you. For everything and letting me in back."
"Any time Ams."
See you in two weeks I guess
