Chapter 14: Luz Returns Home

Luz walked through her open portal in hopes to be right in front of the rebellion. However, she was not. "Darn," she said. "Where can they be?" Little to her luck, they were hiding besides her because both portals had the exit at the old shack in the forest.

When Luz was looking around, Eda had an idea. "Alright," she whispered. "Go slowly into the portal. The draining spell has no effect now. We don't want her to see us either." The rebellion did just that. Unfortunately, Willow stepped on a twig. It made a large crush sound. The sound made Luz turn around to see the rebellion fleeing.

"Oh so that's what you were trying to do," she said. "Trying to trap me here? Well, it won't work." She created a blast at the portal only for Belos to deflect it with his staff.

"Go," said Belos. "Make sure everyone is safe Owl Lady. If we can keep Luz here, her control over the island will disappear. I'll hold her off for now."

"Understood," answered Eda as she went through the portal. Luckily for them their were no coven scouts surrounding them. "Now why aren't there coven scouts," Eda thought. Soon a realization came to her. "That's it," she continued. "Luz didn't know our hopeful plan." She waited for Belos to return as he was having a fight with Luz.

Before the fight began Luz taunted Belos with, "You won't be able to win this rematch."

"Oh, I think I will," answered Belos. Luz cast a fire spell at him only for it to disappear. This was an illusion spell. "Bye," Belos said as he was ready to walk through the portal but was thrown off of his feet with another fire spell cast by Luz.

"Oh no," said Luz. "You can't leave yet. We've just getting started." The fight had now begun. Belos and Luz were casting spells at each other as the battle looked like it could go either way.

Meanwhile, Eda was still waiting for Belos to return. She realized something may be wrong and said to the rebellion, "I'm going to find Belos. Something may be wrong. Willow and Goops, if any scouts come, you know what to do." She then walked through the portal to see Belos fighting Luz. Eda noticed Belos was starting to get weak.

"Looks like I have the upper hand now," said Luz. "I think it's time to finish this battle." She cast an ice spell in hopes to freeze Belos but it was blocked a wall of light. "What," questioned Luz. "I thought glyphs didn't work in this realm."

"They don't," said Eda.

"Owl Lady," said Luz. "How did you get your magic back?"

"I didn't," answered Eda. "But I've had some help." She pointed to Raine.

"It was all me," said Raine. "Now I must go before I'm toast." She left through the portal in which she thought she would be stopped.

"I guess the magicless Owl Lady and the former emperor want to fight me," Luz said. "Good luck in winning this one." She began to cast a fire spell at them but they were quick to their feet and went through the portal. It closed behind them. "NO," Luz screamed. "NOT AGIAN. I WAS SO CLOSE AGAIN." She calmed down and continued at her normal voice. "Very well, I can start the takeover of the human realm now." She walked through her portal to where Amity was.

"How did it go," questioned Amity. "Did you capture the rebellion?"

"I was foiled again," answered Luz. "But I need you to come with me. There's someone I like you to meet."

Amity answered, "But will you lose your control of the island if we both are gone?" Luz answered, "I won't as long as there is a mark of it somewhere on the island. I hid it somewhere where the rebellion would never look if they found out I still have control. Now come it's time to meet that person." They both walked through the portal. They walked until they were at the doorway of a house.

"Where are we," questioned Amity.

"You'll find out," answered Luz as she rang the doorbell. A figure opened the door in shock.

"The figure questioned, "Luz?"

"Why hello mother," answered Luz.

What does Luz want with Camilla? Is Luz really gonna takeover the human realm? How does Amity play in all this? Find out in the next chapter.
