LUZ

Hi, I hope that you're doing good. So, what to say, I was listening to Cigarette Duet after rewatching Thanks to Them. And I had this in mind. Got to say that A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle wrote by TheRgularWritter inspired me too. So read his/her/their story. Emotions, so much emotions in it. Anyway, Hope you'll enjoy my one-shot too. Don't hesitate to review!

Luz couldn't sleep, it's been months since she came back. Her own words, her promesse of staying here, was playing again and again in her head. I'm telling everyone I'm staying in the human realm…Permanently. Then it hit her. She couldn't do that… She had to make an end to all of this. The next day, she enjoyed a breakfast with everyone, making sure she made good memorie pictures of them. She then took her phone, taking one last look of them all. Her mom, Vee and Gus. Hunter and Willow, the palismen. And Amity. A tear broke out of her eyes at the moment she looked away from the Blight daughter. And just like before, she put on her earphones and scrolled through her playlist. She didn't really choose, just playing whatever fell under her thumb. It seems that for once, life was on her side. The witches and Luz listen to the same song, at the same time. Cigarette Duet. Luz smiled as she imagined her friends performing the song. As the intro played, Gus would be on a keyboard, playing it. Willow would be gently using the drums while Vee would be with another Keyboard. Hunter and Amity would be singing and Hunter would even play the guitar. And her mind gave her the show.

[Verse 1: Amity & Hunter]

It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad

Honey, don't you love me? And you know it makes me sad

Amity was singing the part her eyes closed as she tucked her hair in a messy bun. Hunter takes place next to her, microphones appearing in front of them, while the others get their instruments.

It's just a cigarette like you always used to do

I was different then, I don't need them to be cool

Luz was crying, softly. She thought of all those good moments with her friends, Amity… Eda and King. She actually fell on her knees when their smiling faces came into her mind.

Camila heard the song, but something prevented her from moving from the couch. So she closed her eyes, letting herself go with the melody.

As the solo part played, Luz stood up, gazing around her, she saw what she needed. Luz walked toward Gravesfield lake.

[Verse 2: Hunter & Amity]

It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs

Well, it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance

Amity and Hunter faced themselves. Hunter could see the distress in Amity's eyes, while she could sense how worried Hunter was. Gus and Willow exchange glances, while Vee closes her eyes, throwing herself in the music.

It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten

Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can

Luz was light on feet. She smiled, tears still falling from her eyes. "It's better this way, they will be free." "You're only bringing them pain. Turn around, it's not too late." But Luz ignored it. "They will move on. They have each other."

[Verse 3: Amity & Hunter]

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light

Maybe but is it worth it if we fight?

Something was wrong. The pets seemed agitated by something. Yet, none of the kids came. Camila tried to call them but no one answered.

It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee

Oh, she's gonna get a smack, and I'm gonna give you three

Camila tried to call her daughter, but she got her voicemail. Which wasn't better. "Hey, it's Luz. You're probably trying to find me…Well don't. I'm finally making things right. Mama, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, I'm just doing my part, making sure I respect my promise of staying in the human realm."

[Chorus: Amity & Hunter]

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once

(It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten)

Luz was dancing as she walked, her mind completely shattered. She was about to die. She stopped on the shore of the lake. Clenching her fists, she shouted to the setting sun; "Good riddance! You won, world." And she lowered her voice, whispering, "You won. Luz will cease to exist." She giggled, before laughing, as she took a first step.

It's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance

(It'll make you sick, girl, there's not much of a chance)

Camila was running toward the shack. "Luz is missing." No one moved. Vee looked conflicted, before running to Camila. Gus made illusions of him to replace Vee, Willow and himself. There was one for Hunter and Amity too. Amity looked at Hunter.

It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did it

(It's just a cigarette, you'll be sorry that you did it)

Everyone was in Camila's car, except for Hunter and Amity. Amity's gaze was too much for the grimwalker. A tear broke free.

Luz was crying too, as she walked in the cold water of the lake.

Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can

Luz was slowly sinking, and it happened. Her eyes and and her mouth shot open as she instantly drowned. Amity felt a part of her heart burning with pain and sorrow at the same time. She fell on her knees. Hunter looked away at first. Before offering his hand to Amity. Taking it she stood up.

[Outro: Amity & Hunter]

La la, la la la la la la

La la, la la la la la la

La la, la la la la la la

Camila and the kids arrived too late. Camila jumped in the lake. She founded Luz's corpse, and took it to the shore. But it was too late. Gus and Vee fell in Camila's arms while Willow just put a hand on Luz's corpse, crying softly.

La la, la la la la la la

La la, la la la la la la

Amity and Hunter finished the song hand in hand. Amity was shaking with pain while Hunter had lost any control over his tears. No one would ever be able to understand them. As months passed, they put more and more distances between them and the group, before disappearing from town. They would only reappear every Halloween, at the shack, singing the same song. Until one day, Camila received an announcement for the wedding of Hunter Witthebane and Amity Blight, themed as Boda de Luz. Camila let the letter fall on the floor as she cried in her hand. Vee, Gus and Willow all silently made their close to their adoptive mother. They all hugged her. As they too, cried. As Pain was still strong in their hearts.

La la, la la la la la la

La la, la la la la la la

Amity was in pain, a mixture of tears and sweat on her face. Her screams of pain filled the whole room. And it all stopped, before the cries of a baby replaced them. Hunter kissed Amity as the newly mother held her baby tightly. "Welcome to the world, mìja." softly said Amity. "How will you name her?" asked a nurse. "Luz." answered Hunter. "Luz Witthebane." said Amity.

La la, la la la la la la
