Chapter 49: Rebuilding Pt 2

The rubble from the Collector's out of control phase has now been cleared. The only thing now was to rebuild it all. "So how are we gonna do this," questioned Luz. "Doesn't construction magic allow for the wreckage to be reused or will they have to start with brand new material?"

"You know," answered Amity. "I'm not really sure. I'm the abomination magic, not construction." Luz blushed a little after that.

"I can answer your question," said Matt (Steve's half bro). "It actually depends on the material. For example, bricks can be reused but for wood as long as there is enough of it where it was destroyed."

"Makes sense," replied Luz. "We have a similar thing in the human realm." The gang started to help out where needed with Luz keeping a close eye on Enzo. He may have powers still, but he's still a child.

"The rebuilding seems to be going very quick," said Eda.

"I can see that," replied King.

"I'm helping too," said Hooty eating all the materials too small to use.

"Hooty," said Eda. "You really need to stop eating stuff that's actually not food."

"I can do what I want," said Hooty.

"Just let him be," said Luz.

"Fine," replied Eda.

"He's sure fun," said Enzo. "I want to play with him." He went over to Hooty. Hooty went into attack mode only for Eda to calm him down. Enzo and Hooty decided to get along and play several games. As this was going on, the gang was finishing up the rebuilding phase.

"And it's done," said the construction head. "Thank you for helping rebuild. If it weren't for you, we would be at this for months." The island decided to throw a party for the hard work they put into this project. They even invited the Collector as long as he behaved. A couple hours had passed with the party now over. Eda and the gang wanted to get to the Owl House and rest a bit. On their way something happened to Luz.

"Um, Luz," said Eda. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine," answered Luz. "Why?"

"Your head is on fire," answered King holding up a mirror for Luz to see.

"Holy hell," exclaimed Luz. "Get it out!" However, nothing worked. Just then the group was split as some people came.

"We'll tell you what's happening," said one of the strangers. "But first, we need to be split. Only a max of three people can be around her now." The gang was officially split now leaving Eda, King and Amity with Luz and Gus, Willow and Hooty with the other strangers.

What is happening to Luz? Is something bad coming? Who are the strangers? Will Enzo get involved? Find out in the next chapter? Note: the next couple of chapters are based of off a dream I had a few weeks ago.
