In the Human World:
Impact
Toothy_breeze: Thank you for mentioning the mask joke, you were the only one to comment on that little easter egg.
Vicente: Thank you so much for letting me know. I am using translation programs for the Spanish moments so I am very grateful to get a heads up when something isn't right. I am off to correct that error after I post this chapter.
This is not the final chapter, just want to make sure that is clear. There are still a few obvious things to be cleared up. That said, after this is complete, I am considering writing a Viney and Emira centric fic. Please drop a comment if you would be interested in reading a Viney and Emira fic.
Luz started laughing so hard she doubled over, and King found himself sharing a concerned look with Amity. He was, of course, fine with his human friend being happy, but this seemed more unstable. It was laughter, just not in Luz's normal happy manner. He could not properly explain the difference, but he could feel a difference. When Amity dropped his leash and Luz hugged her King began to debate just leaving the teens to themselves. He waited to the side, listening but clearly forgotten in their conversation. When Luz suddenly tried, and might he add failed in a very awkward way, at a first kiss the little demon was done. He neatly folded his leash, stuck it in his mouth, and began to trot away on all fours. If these two were finally going to sort out their feelings for each other, he saw no reason he need be involved.
It did not take long for King to reach the Noceda home, though carrying his leash folded in his mouth was an indignity in his opinion. He trotted to the door, slowly moved to stand when he was sure no one was nearby and knocked in three quick raps on the wooden door. He never thought he would miss Hooty, but right now he missed the crazy bird tube. There was a pause, then he heard someone coming closer to the door. The steps stopped just before the door opened, revealing a curious Camila Noceda who frowned as she glanced around. She noticed King alone and sighed.
"Did the girls lose you, little one?" Camila asked as King moved inside and began fiddling with his collar, attempting to find the thing holding the leash to it.
"They're too busy finally sorting themselves out, I just decided not to wait." King informed her and heard a cup Camila was holding fall from her grasp. The ceramic lost its handle in the impact and King jumped away, startled as the handle slid across the hardwood floor. He looked over at Camila who was staring at him, her jaw hanging open and her eyes wide. "Are you okay, Camila?" King asked as kindly as he could manage. "You, uh, lost your cup."
"You can talk!?" She yelled at him, thankfully she already closed the door. "How long have you been able to talk?!"
"Wait, you didn't know I could talk?" King chuckled nervously, tugging at the leash he still had not managed to detach. "I kind of thought you knew that a while ago. . . And Luz said she told you everything this morning."
"She didn't mention that the dog spoke English." She told him this with a surprisingly dry tone. "¿Qué voy a hacer con esa chica? (What am I going to do with that girl?)"
"I'm not actually a dog." King would normally be much more vehement stating this, but he was a bit worried that would be too much for the elder Noceda right now. "I'm the King of Demons."
"Of course you are." Camila sighed heavily and shook her head. She knelt, crooking a finger to beckon him toward her. "Come here, King of Demons."
"So, are you okay?" He asked, stepping closer and flinching slightly when she reached for his neck. He was pleasantly surprised though when Camila simply unlatched the leash for him and offered him a tired smile.
"It is a lot to take in, even with the things I already knew." She tossed the leash aside, apparently done worrying about the object, and gathered the broken cup with careful hands. She stood up, tilting her head and regarding King where he stood by her feet. "Would you like some coffee? Can you drink coffee?"
"Oh, yeah, I'd love some coffee." So, he followed Camila back to the kitchen. By the time Amity and Luz rushed into the house, concerned after looking for and failing to find King, the two were laughing as they exchanged stories about Luz. The teens eyed them with relief, and Camila laughed.
"I think you can stop taking King for walks." She informed the two who both seemed equally embarrassed.
"I got bored of your sap and walked back." King told them which turned Amity into a blushing mess and started Luz mumbling incoherently.
TOHtohTOHtohtohtohTOHtOhToHTOH
Luz Noceda had started her Sunday feeling overwhelmed, but by the evening she was full of crazy energy. Camila had gone to bed, and King had gone to take a nap at her feet. Amity and Luz chose not to question that, Camila was taking the fact that the "dog" was a small demon shockingly well. Instead the girls went up to their shared room, and Amity sat against the headboard of one of the beds with Azura book five open as they took turns narrating and voicing the characters. The green haired witch grinned as Luz, voicing Azura tonight, basically bounced about the room pantomiming actions here and there. The teen human was clearly on an energy high, and the young witch could not help enjoying the joyous energy practically radiating from her.
"You shant succeed, nar do well!" Luz declared for Azura as she struck a defiant pose, causing Amity to giggle.
"The ground shook violently with another large quake, causing Hecate to stumble and Azura to lose her feet." Amity read the narrative, though it was hard, she was trying not to laugh as Luz faked stumbling about the room. The human teen managed to stumble over to the bed Amity sat on, draping herself in a very unconvincing fall across the other girl's lap. Amity set the book aside, holding her sides as she laughed at Luz's antics.
"Hecate, help me my dearest!" Luz said, flinging one arm up as if reaching out for assistance.
"Luz, Azura doesn't say that." Amity informed her between giggles, and the other girl offered her a bright smile as she broke character.
"Well she should have." Luz informed her, brown eyes meeting gold. "And my Hecate would help me up."
"Oh, I don't know." Amity joked and smirked at the girl draped across her lap. "I think Hecate is going to leave Azura where she has fallen."
"Oh?" Luz wiggled her eyebrows at the green haired teen, and Amity leaned down to place a slightly nervous but sweet kiss against her brow. The human teen shifted, sitting up and sort of crawling about so that she could lay down on the bed and comfortably use Amity as a pillow.
"Where did you get all this energy?" She asked softly, reaching out to comb a hand through Luz's brown hair. The human teen shifted a bit, causing her to sort of nuzzle Amity's shirt at stomach level. Amity knew she was blushing again, but Luz looked so happy, a big smile lighting her features as she turned those brown eyes to Amity's again.
"You." Luz said simply, causing Amity to make a questioning sound. The human teen caught the hand not playing with her hair and tangled their fingers together. "You make me feel really light and happy. I feel all bubbly now, like when you shake a soda really hard. I guess, knowing you like me too, just kind of makes everything a little better."
"I really thought you would figure that out after Grom." Amity focused on the feeling of Luz's hair, which was softer than she would have expected. "It seemed like I couldn't even say hello without spewing a stream of words."
"Wait, Grom?" Those brown eyes widened, and Luz stared up at her in clear wonder. "Wait, was that note for me?"
"Oh Titan, how did you not realize that earlier today?" Amity tapped Luz's nose with one finger, watching her face scrunch cutely and her eyes briefly cross to look at that finger. "Who did you think it was for?"
"Someone cool." Luz said without missing a beat, and her voice shifted to a sort of scared tone. "Maybe another Abomination track student, or some upper classmen. I even considered that maybe you wanted to ask Boscha."
"Boscha?" Amity gave Luz a doubtful look, which just drew a shrug from the girl in her lap.
"I kind of eliminated Boscha after that Grudgby game." Luz decided not to inform Amity that before the incident at the Emperor's Castle, well the first incident, she had been working her way down a list of suspects. "Had to be someone cool, someone smart, and probably someone stand-offish to be willing to turn you down as a Grom date."
"Plenty of our classmates would try to avoid going to Grom with a Blight." Amity told her.
"No way, I refuse to believe that. Have you seen yourself and your siblings, Ami?" Luz scratched the side of her neck when Amity raised an eyebrow. "Not that I look at Ed or Em that way, but you're all just too much sometimes."
"Too much?"
"Too cool." Luz amended.
"Well my too cool siblings got stood up at Grom, don't tell them I told you that." Amity watched those eyes go wide again; it was such a cute expression it pulled another giggle from her. She returned to carding her fingers through Luz's hair. On a whim she leaned down and carefully rubbed their noses together. Luz made a happy little sound, and they grinned at each other.
"Ami?" Luz waited for another inquisitive sound and played with the hand she had captured. "We should go on a date tomorrow, after school. Just us."
"What do you have in mind?"
TOH TOHTOH TOH tohtohtoh TOHtohTOH
Edric had never hated morning so much in his young life. Mittens 2.0, in yet another display of her hyper realism, had banged on his door to wake him when his alarm went unheard. The male Blight sibling had opened his door, locking gold eyes on gold eyes with the clone of his little sister and been given a very haughty look in return. She wrinkled her nose, with her arms crossed, and drily informed him he needed a shower. For a long, very sleep deprived, moment the Illusionist could not fathom what about that statement tickled his mind. Mittens 2.0 was halfway down the hall when it finally processed, and he yelled after her.
"You don't have a sense of smell!" His voice was indignant as it carried down the hall.
"I don't need one, I can easily tell you must smell terrible." She replied, and shortly after she basically vanished down the stairs.
"So rude." Edric muttered, but he still gathered what he needed and slipped off to take a shower. Given a choice he would just not go to school today, but with their absence Friday missing Monday would draw unwanted attention. So Edric showered, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and put on his uniform. Even with the shower he was feeling very blurry when he dragged into the kitchen. Mittens 2.0 pushed a plate of breakfast toward him, and he offered her a grateful smile. She may have given him a very bratty wake up call, but it was sweet that she got his breakfast ready.
Emira woke to shouting in the hallway, her mind pretty blurry as to what had her brother yelling. The return snipe from Mittens 2.0's voice was fairly clear, and close to her door, so that brought a smirk to her lips. She moved to stretch and found she was partially pinned down on her bed. Her golden eyes landed on Viney, who appeared to still be peacefully sleeping. The Duel Track student's hair was down for once, her head resting on Emira's chest and one arm slung across Emira's waist. They had both been so tired when they came upstairs, they'd really just removed their shoes, let their hair down, and collapsed onto the bed to fall asleep.
'Mother would be aghast if she could see my rumpled clothes right now.' Emira thought with a quiet laugh. She bit her lip as her companion stirred, and slowly those deep green eyes blinked open and met her gold eyes.
"Is it mornin' already?" Viney mumbled in a husky voice, one that Emira basically felt as they were cuddled together.
"I'm afraid so, cutie." She told her softly, using her hand to brush some brown hair from Viney's eyes. The shorter witch offered a tired smile, and they sort of just watched each other for a few moments.
"We should get ready for school." Viney finally mumbled as she shifted and moved to sit up. Emira made a sound of agreement but found she lacked the will to actually leave her bed. Honestly, she wanted to cuddle Viney and ignore the world. They could not have slept more than five hours. Viney poked Emira in the ribs, causing the Illusionist to jerk in surprise as Viney giggled. "Come on, sweetheart, I know we need some time to tame that lovely hair of yours."
"So, you admit you think I'm lovely?" Emira spoke in a flirty tone, sitting up and smirking again.
"Fishing for complements?" Viney's voice was playful, before she stood and moved to where she had dropped her travel bag. "I am so glad I packed a uniform."
"So responsible." Emira commented, finally standing, and indulging in a long stretch to loosen her tired muscles.
By the time they made it downstairs Edric was helping Mittens 2.0 pack them all lunches, and two plates of food were waiting for them. Emira swiftly realized she was more awake than her brother, when he plopped back down in the chair to her left. With a wicked grin she leaned toward him slightly, taking a very obvious sniff, and shaking her head at him. Edric frowned at her in confusion.
"Well, I suppose you smell passable." Emira said, her tone filled with false lament. Edric gave her a completely betrayed look.
"Excuse you! I smell wonderful, I even put on cologne today!"
"Could be the problem." Viney joked and Edric made a choked sound as Emira laughed.
"All of you are so rude this morning." Edric informed them, but Emira knew inside he was laughing.
"Puddles can take us to school." Viney informed them with a yawn, pushing some of her food with her fork. "We can land at the stables so Puddles can get all the food and water she wants."
"Actually, I think Mittens and I will walk." Edric told them, drawing curious looks from the two teen girls. "I want to grab something at the market on the way to school."
"What could you possibly want this early?" Emira asked with a disbelieving look.
"I was thinking, it's a shame Luz's phone doesn't communicate with our scrolls." He shrugged. "So why don't we just get her a scroll? That way even if our parents have forbidden Amity from seeing her, they can at least communicate."
"Wait, your parents did what?" Viney eyed them both in surprise. "Have they met Luz?"
"No." Edric tugged at one of his sleeves. "I doubt it would change anything if they did though."
"Actually, it might make things worse if they did." Emira shook her head. "The scroll is a good idea. Are the right shops open this early?"
"I already looked it up, I know exactly which one I'm going to." He let his head come down to rest on the table, his voice becoming muffled. "I put in an order so I can just pick it up, that way I don't make Mittens 2.0 yell at me."

"Is everyone finally here?" Eda asked, watching as Mittens 2.0 appeared to actually start counting the witches present in the room. Gus, Willow and Edric were seated on the couch. Viney was sitting in an armchair, with Emira sitting on the arm of the same chair. Mittens 2.0 finished her head count, nodded, and settled into a wooden chair placed near the couch. Eda and Lilith stood before the gathered teens, and the illusion clone. "Alright, by a show of hands, who wants to go into the Human World to help retrieve them?"
"Me! Me! Me!" Everyone's hands went up, but Gus was chanting and bouncing in his seat. Willow and Edric each used their free hand to grip a shoulder and still the witchling.
"Sorry, Dingus, but I don't think you can focus around that much human stuff." Eda looked directly at Gus and he deflated but muttered an agreement to that statement. Mismatched gold and gray eyes drifted over the teens, this time landing on Viney. "Would Puddles try to follow you?"
"Probably." Viney admitted with a sigh. "I'll wait here."
"I believe the Blight Twins have the right to retrieve their sister." Lilith put in, her green and gray eyes glancing between the two. "Are you rested enough to do so?"
"Oh, we both caught naps in the nurse's office earlier." Edric said brightly.
"Alright then." Eda considered Willow for a moment, before shaking her head. "We should keep this small, the twins and myself."
"Perhaps. . ." Lilith started but Eda shout her a challenging look.
"You don't know how to talk to humans." She reminded and Lilith raised a dark eyebrow.
"Edalyn, you have one human."
"And I get along with her very well, which is more than I can say for you. No, you stay here and make sure Hooty and the kids don't destroy the house." Eda sighed. "There really isn't any way to know how long this will take, so no one feel like you have to wait."
"How are we going to find them?" Emira asked and watched Eda cross her arms.
"Well we know they are staying with Luz's mother, so I suppose we start asking around for Nocedas." She looked each twin over with a measuring eye and gave a smirk. "But before that, we'd best change into some Human World clothes."

The afternoon light was turning the light from the windows an orangish-red, and the daytime heat was starting to drop. Camila sipped her coffee as she walked toward the door, hearing whoever was there knock again. She opened the door, aiming a smile at whoever was waiting, only to find that smile falling off her face as confusion washed through her. Three people stood on the step, two older teens with forest green hair and a gray-haired woman. All three in terribly mismatched clothing, and all three also wore bandanas of various colors which pinned their ears to the sides of their heads. After spending so much time around Amity, Camila was certain they were hiding the points on their ears.
"Is Luz home?" The male twin spoke, as he and his sister struck a pose that seemed to scream of innocence and charm. Camila gave them a doubtful look and the two slowly deflated. She turned her brown eyes instead to the mismatched eyes of the gray-haired woman behind the two.
"You're Eda?" Camila asked slowly and saw surprise alight on the other woman's face.
"Yes, Eda Clawthorne." She agreed and saw Camila nod slowly, looking tired. "You just woke up, didn't ya?"
"Yes, come in you three." Camila waved them in, and the twins happily slipped by into the air-conditioned home. Eda gave an awkward smile and followed them inside. The twins were looking around the living room as if they thought Amity would be hiding behind the couch. "The girls aren't here; they went on a date."
"Date?" The female twin perked up as her brother sagged.
"Not the time, kiddos." Eda cut in, and then gestured to the siblings. "These two are Edric and Emira Blight, Amity's siblings."
"Oh, she does remember our names." Edric said with a laugh. The conversation was interrupted by an excited squeal, followed by a furry body charging over to jump at Eda. She knelt to catch King and allowed the little demon to excitedly hug her, before burrowing into her hair. His actions dislodged her bandana so that her pointy ears were in full view.
"EDA! You came!" He stuck his head out of her hair to watch what everyone else was doing.
TOH TOHTOH TOH tohtohtoh TOHtohTOH
Amity and Luz were laughing as Luz unlocked the door of the Noceda home. She held it open for Amity, who slipped inside and then suddenly went silent. The human teen followed her and peaked over Amity's shoulder. What she saw made her feel like she'd been hit with a blast of cold water.
"Mittens!" The twins yelled in unison, rushing over to their sister and quickly wrapping her in a tight group hug.
"Ed, Em." Amity quietly spoke their names, slowly sinking into her siblings' embrace. Luz quietly shut the door behind them and weakly smiled at seeing the three Blights reunited. She noticed a few happy tears, but she would not dare call any of them out about that.
"Not even gonna say hello, kid?" Eda's voice came from the kitchen doorway, and Luz spun on her heel before running at her mentor. Eda stumbled as Luz practically tackled her while yelling her name, returning the teenager's hug. She shook her head with a smile, she knew that was going to be her reaction. "Good to see you too, Luz."
"When did you get here? How did you get here?" Amity asked as she finally pulled free of the twins' hug. Edric and Emira each kept an arm about their sister, but they let her breathe a bit.
"Oh, do we ever have a story to tell you!" Edric exclaimed. "It's full of adventure, danger, romance for Emira."
"You're just jealous, Ed." Emira told him, before leaning close to her sister's ear to speak quietly. "I hear someone else got a little romance too."
"Oh, well." Amity blushed and her gold eyes moved to Luz who was excitedly talking to Eda. The youngest Blight bit her lip as she watched the other teen.
"Don't worry, we're working on it." Edric told her, causing his sister to look back toward him again. He shrugged and offered a smile. "She can't come back with us right now, but Camila seemed like she'd let her visit. Eda's staying here tonight to talk to her more about that when she gets back."
"Hey, what are you three whispering about?" Luz asked as she walked back over. Amity looked lost, still processing what her siblings said. The Twins, ever the experts at diversion pounced on Luz with another group hug, causing a surprised but happy sound to burst from the human teen. Amity felt her mood lighten slightly as Edric and Emira resorted to tickling Luz, who could not bat four hands away at once. "Ami! Help!" She yelped between laughs.
"Alright, stop it you two." Amity said, as she reached in and extracted Luz from between her siblings. Edric and Emira folded into each other's sides, with happy smiles.
"But Mittens!" Edric said in a falsely affronted voice. "Surely we should treat Luz like one of us!"
"I mean, she is our dear baby sister's girlfriend after all." Emira added with a playful smirk.
"I did not miss you two at all." Amity told them with a glare, even as Luz hugged her and hid her face in Amity's shoulder. She felt the other girl laughing, though she managed to muffle most of the sound against Amity.
"We love you too Mittens!" Edric told her and Amity favored him with a smile. She couldn't help it; of course she had missed her two foolish older siblings.
"You three should head back." Eda broke the happy moment and Luz's head shot up as she turned to stare at her mentor. Eda gave an attempt at a reassuring smile toward Luz. "The Blight Trio is heading back tonight, and you and I will be waiting for your Mom to get back from work. She still wants to talk about some things."
"I don't get to go back?" Luz asked and visibly deflated as she shifted her eyes toward Amity again.
"Can't we wait with you?" Amity asked and saw the twins shake their heads.
"Mittens 2.0 is good, but one illusion clone can't cover for all 3 of us." Emira informed her.
"But hey, we brought Luz something!" Edric perked up, pulling a little box from his pocket and offering it to the human teen. She took it slowly, opened it with Amity also looking at it's contents.
"A scroll?" Luz smiled very slightly and looked at the twins. "So I can stay in contact?"
"We also made sure to add Amity, Willow, Gus, Viney, Jerbo, Barcus, and our contact info in there." Emira told her kindly. "It isn't a perfect solution, but for now even with the delay at least you can still contact all of us."
"Aw, thanks that's really thoughtful." Luz said, trying not to sound sad that she couldn't go back with them tonight. She felt Amity's hand slip into her free hand, and she squeezed it.
"Give us a minute, we'll be right back." Amity told them, as she started to tug Luz out of the living room. She did not say anything until they were in Luz's bedroom, the door shut behind them. She gave Luz a pained look as she spoke. "I knew this was what would eventually happen, but I really don't want to leave you behind."
"Hey, it's okay." Luz forced a smile and pulled Amity back into a hug. "I mean I don't want to watch you go through that portal without me either, but I guess the twins are right."
"I miss home, but what if you don't get to visit or . . ."
"Eda's a great salesman, if anyone can convince my Mami it's Eda." Luz did not feel, or sound convinced either, but she pushed that aside for the moment. "Besides, I'm your fearless champion so I'll find a way."
"You have a scroll now." Amity said, straightening up and seeming to kind of will herself to be okay with this sudden turn of events. "We can message each other."
"We will message each other." Luz said and tilted her head, so their foreheads touched. "And if I have to beg Mami I will come visit. I don't know when, but I'll make that happen. Eda said she has a new portal, so that's a stable way back and forth."
"Right." Amity agreed, keeping those gold eyes locked on Luz's brown eyes. "And if you don't, then I'll make Eda let me come here."
"That's my girl." Luz said proudly at the determined tone the teen witch was using.
TOH TOHTOH TOH tohtohtoh TOHtohTOH
When they returned to the living room Eda set up the portal, which Luz was surprised to see was on her side of the dimensional divide for the moment. Amity, carrying a small bag at her side, eyed the portal looking like she'd rather do anything other than walk through it. Emira gave Luz a brief hug, Edric clapped her on the shoulder, than they nodded to Amity and stepped into the portal. Amity ignored Eda's presence, stepped up to Luz and pulled her into a last tight hug. Luz's arms squeezed her as tightly as they could in return, just standing that way for long moments.
"I'm going to miss you." Luz whispered and felt a tear silently slip from Amity's eyes.
"Not as much as I'll miss you." She replied and Luz huffed a half a laugh.
"You're so competitive." She took a deep breath, and they finally stepped away from each other. Amity backed toward the portal, gave a sad little wave, and finally turned to walk through it. Once she passed through Eda closed the portal down, and it folded back into its suitcase form.
"You'll see her again, kiddo." Eda told her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Promise?" Luz asked and her mentor nodded.
"Of course, I promise." Eda gave an ironic smile. "I do not want all three Blight children ganging up on me to get to you."
TOH TOHTOH TOH tohtohtoh TOHtohTOH
In the Owl House several witches jumped as the portal door basically appeared and opened. The twins emerged from the glowing portal first, and the sedate look of them was enough to make the room at large go quiet. A few long moments later Amity emerged, dressed like a human and carrying a small bag at her side. She wasn't looking up, and the portal soon closed down and vanished behind her. Willow Park didn't need to ask, she could get details later. She pulled her childhood best friend aside and wrapped her in a comforting hug.
"I'm sorry, Amity." Willow whispered as Amity returned the hug. The youngest Blight hid her face in her friend's shoulder, biting back any sounds as quiet tears slipped from her eyes. Willow just kept her close as the twins filled everyone in.
"What happened? Where are the others?" Gus asked.
"Eda, King, and Luz are still at Luz's house." Emira told them, glancing toward her sister as she spoke. "Camila, Luz's mother, said she wanted to discuss some things in detail. Eda's confident she can get permission for Luz to come visit regularly."
"Oh no, is her mom not going to let her come back to Hexside?" Viney asked.
"She didn't exactly say that." Edric told them in a cautious tone. "Actually, after agreeing to let us take Amity home she mainly asked questions."
"Agreeing to let Amity come home?" Lilith gave them a look and they shifted. "You mean she considered trying to prevent you from bringing your sister home?"
"She just wanted to know Amity was safe, that's all." Emira gave a drawn-out sigh. "The cover story Amity and Luz started with left her a bit concerned for Amity's safety."
"So when will we hear about Luz?" Gus redirected the conversation.
"Not any time soon, her mother is at work until morning."
"Well, it sounds as if everyone should head home and get a good night's sleep." Lilith told them, receiving a chorus of sounds and half-hearted disagreements from the group of teens. She gestured for them to quiet down, and they all obeyed the former Coven Leader. "All of you have school in the morning, and I doubt we'll receive any word before that. Should anything change here I will ensure word is sent to you."
