Luz walked through the graveyard and stopped at her mother's grave. She kneeled down in front of the marble stone.
"Hi, mami. I-I-I did it. I found the man that turned me, the man that tried to rage war against witches... the man that killed you. Some of my friends helped me take him out. He will no longer hurt people." Luz said with tears forming in her eyes, "I... I know you wouldn't want me to cry over you being gone but I just can help it. I still have a hard time believing that you're gone and I also can't help but feel responsible. If only I left when I had the chance then you'd still be here... I know I can't change the past, but I can look towards the future. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can learn to love life again."
Luz had to choke back a sob that was too damn stubborn to stay down.
"As much as I don't want to, I have to accept that you're gone. I know you'd want me to... I just and you to know that even though you're gone, I'll never forget you."
She finally let the tears flow. She's cried more time in the last month then in her entire 14 years, but these tears felt different. These tears felt like she had a great weight pulled from her, like the world was telling her that she made the right choice. She felt a hand on her shoulder but when she looked there was no one there. She swears she heard her mother's voice.
'I'll always be with you. I love you, Mija.'
"I know. I love you too, Mami."
Luz stood up and shapeshifted into an owl and flew to the entrance. She turned back and looked at Amity.
"How do you feel?" Amity asked.
"Ironically enough... alive." Luz said.
"I'm glad. Now, about our little discussion from earlier..."
"I'm not turning you, Amity."
"It's either you or I get Boscha to do it. And I know how that just riles you up, the thought of someone else turning me is terrifying isn't it?"
"Can we talk about this later? I've been through a lot the past few weeks."
"Okay, I'll put it on hold... for now."
Luz gave her a quick kiss to the cheek and opened Eda's portal.
Well, we have come to the end... of part one. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
