5. Chapter 5 - Clarity

"I'd love to." Luz finally said with a smile, got up, and offered Amity her hand to help the witch up as well. They turned toward the forest and walked hand in hand toward the Manor. It was already getting dark and in between the trees it was even darker. Luz took a small piece of paper from her back pocket and once she tapped a round symbol drawn on it the paper crumbled and turned into a sphere of light. Luz controlled the light and had it levitating right above her palm.

"I still can't get over your human magic…" Amity murmured with pride. Luz looked at her and smiled warmly.

"Glad to hear that little miss perfect is impressed with my charm." Luz teased, enjoying Amity's blush. She wanted to add something else but they were slowly approaching the Blight Manor. "Oh, this is scary…" The human noted when they went through the main gate. Amity grabbed her girlfriend underneath her arm and held on closely.

"Don't worry… It's just an empty building." Amity said with a smile "With a lot of bad memories." She added and Luz looked at her confused.

"So are you sure you want to go in?"

"Yeah!" Amity confirmed. "I'll have at least one good memory of that place." She said with a smile "Considering I have never brought anyone over just your company will be enough."

"I want to feel honored but I just feel sad you were so alone…" Luz admitted while they walked into the main hall. "Wow…" She whispered then she looked around. The hardwood floors were covered in dark purple carpet and the wooden walls were almost completely empty. Only the family portraits were staring back at the human who noticed how incredibly uncluttered the place was. "Sooo… sterile."

"Yeah… everything must have its purpose." Amity said while she grabbed Luz's hand and pulled her in. They walked past the entrance hall and went directly to the first floor.

"I see we're cutting the trip short." Luz said mockingly when they entered the bedroom. There was only a bed, study desk and a bookshelf filled with textbooks. On the wall there was a calendar and a pin board with schoolwork reminders. "Everything must have its purpose…" Amity's words echoed in Luz's mind when she realized there was no trace of the witch's personality in that room. Luz walked over to the large balcony to take a look outside. It had a beautiful view of the forest, now covered in darkness. Behind the trees, the red tiled roofs of Bonesborough were shimmering delicately. The touch of smaller hands wrapping her body from behind and hugging tightly, dragged her out of the thoughts. "Is everything all right?" Luz asked, turning around to look at the witch. She looked down into the golden eyes filled with a glow of content.

"I'm just happy to be here with you." Amity said and leaned in closer. "Just like you let me into your life, I too want you to get to know me better." She added with a low voice. Luz gulped. She wanted to kiss the witch so badly. The brunette thought about their activity in the Library, then about yesterday's night… she felt an almost painful chill in her loins and pulse in her core. "Her mother orchestrated her rape, calm down Luz! Just don't rush anything…" She yelled at herself but she could not pull back. She wanted to kiss her too much and the way Amity was closing in she could not think about anything else.

"A-Amity…" Luz whispered with a heaving stutter. "I really would like to… I mean… I don't want to do anything that would hurt you… I mean… don't want you to rush into anything… I mean…" Luz was jumping from one sentence to another. She did not know which information was more important. She felt a cold pale palm on her face. The golden eyes had widened pupils and the porcelain face was closing in.

"Luz…" The witch whispered in a heated voice "I know you would never hurt me, I know you care for me…" Amity continued "I want to be with you, I want to be close to you… and I want you to have me. All of me…" She added looking lustfully into brown eyes and Luz started to tremble in her arms. "Stop holding yourself back worrying about the past.".

She was interrupted with a fierce and passionate kiss. "That's it!" Amity thought and moaned loudly. She felt a pulse of heat between her legs, her loins aching, and her body melting into the human's affection. She has never been touched the way Luz touched her and the witch wanted more, she needed release. Their encounter in the Library has been haunting her since and Amity could not wait any longer.

The human held her close, their lips moved in perfect sync, hungrily devouring one another. They moved back into the center of the room, away from the balcony. Suddenly Amity felt strong hands sliding down her tights and lifting her up. She helped by jumping up and enveloping the human's waist with her legs. "She's so hot!" Luz thought when she felt the heat radiating from the witch's core. That only made her mewl when she moved them closer to the bed. Amity licked the seam of Luz's lips and without any further encouragement Luz let her into her mouth. Their tongues met hesitantly. The first contact sent chills throughout their bodies, Amity balled the human's hair with her fists while her need kept growing in her. The witch needed her closer, harder… Luz made it to the desk and pushed the chair aside, throwing it into the center of the room. Amity could not believe how that action turned her on. With another gesture Luz cleaned the tabletop from any redundant objects. With a swift move she placed the witch on the top and pulled back a bit to look down at her girlfriend.

Amity's face was flushed with heat, her lips swollen, dissatisfied with the interruption, fangs peeking out from underneath, her golden eyes barely golden anymore with the width of pupils blown out with desire. It was primal. Luz's hands traveled up toward the witch's head and she brushed the green hair behind the pointy earlobe. Amity's ears twitched, her body stiffened and her eyes never looked away from the human. "Titan! Does she know about it? Will she…" Witch's mind was overloaded with desire but she had no idea how to ask for what she wanted.

"May I?" Luz whispered hesitantly, delicately sliding her fingers from the witch's hair toward the base of her pointy ear.

"Y-Yes!" Amity exclaimed in pleasure, slanting her ears down, closing her eyes, allowing herself to fall into the fog of ecstasy, enjoying the way Luz's fingers caressed her earlobes, sliding from the base of the ear and gliding toward the pointy end of the helix. "L-Luz! Ah! Fuck!" She could not control herself. The sensation of her girlfriend's fingers was earth shattering. "More! P-please!" The brunette dove in and kissed the right lobe while she kept on tracing the other one with her fingers. Luz loved the sounds, gasps, and desire-driven reactions coming from the witch's body. Amity was a mumbling mess within a few more seconds of the stimulation. The witch could have sworn she can come undone just from this. Her tights wrapped Luz's body tighter, black fingernails scratched the desk leaving dents in the wood. The human reveled in the feeling of her girlfriend's heat on her abdomen. "Ah! L-Luz!" Amity exclaimed when she felt Luz's hand leave her left lobe just to travel down toward the hem of her tee.

"May I?" Luz asked for permission, breathing heavily into Amity's ear, sending chills down her body.

"Y-yes! Please!" In an instant Luz pulled away to quickly discard the clothing and just as fast leaned down toward the witch's neck, licking it, sucking, biting, traveling up toward the earlobe to tease it a bit, and down again toward the collarbone, finding the perfect equilibrium of the stimulation.

Amity's moans filled the room, driving Luz wild. The witch had a hard time controlling her urges. She was more than ready. But the way Luz treated her was so good she never wanted it to stop. Her pale hands traveled underneath the human's shirt feeling the smooth abdomen, hip bones, and her waist. Amity wanted more. Before she could have pushed away to ask for removal of the clothing the human impatiently removed the shirt herself. Amity was in awe. She looked at the girl in front of her. Face flushed, chest heaving, trying to control herself, a light scar going through her left collarbone toward the bra covered breast. The witch traced the old wound with her finger causing the human to shudder. Then she started kissing it. Luz's head lolled back and she let herself fall into the pleasure. Before she could have noticed Amity discarded her bra and was working her way down toward the dark areolas, trailing wet, warm kisses. Slowly, hesitantly, giving the human enough time to say 'no'.

"Don't stop…" Was all Amity heard and she sucked into the soft peaks of the human's chest, using her fangs to nib delicately the skin surrounding the nipples whilst massaging the other breast with her hand. Luz moaned unknowingly, pulling her girlfriend in closer while her legs were about to give up in pleasure.

Amity thought it was about time to move this activity to the bed. She stopped her assault, pushed Luz away with a delicate move, and jumped down from the desk. The witch felt how her own legs were weak in her knees and her core was wet, dripping into her underwear. Both women looked at each other, heaving, pupils blown wide, the desire to devour was at its peak. Pale hands traveled down to tan hips, opening the button of the trousers. Luz interrupted the motion by swiftly taking off Amity's bra. She stopped in her tracks when it was discarded, looking at the goddess with full breasts. Small peaks of pink nipples were taunting her, demanding to be touched.

"Don't hold back…" Amity whispered again and the brunette leaned forward just to stop inches away from the witch's lips.

"Let go of your self control…" Luz demanded in return.

Amity's reaction was immediate. The pale hands grabbed curly locks of the human's hair and pulled the head into her chest, demanding to be kissed. Luz complied, feeling how much pleasure that show of need gave her. She hungrily kissed skin surrounding the witch's breast moving in closer, and closer, too slow in Blight's opinion. With one hand she opened Amity's trousers while the other one cupped her breast. Amity moaned but it was cut short when she felt human's lips on her other nipple.

"Luz!" She exclaimed not being able to control herself anymore. "Let go…" Echoed in the witch's head. The human suddenly pulled away and pulled the witch's trousers down toward the ankles. She then lifted the shorter girl up and moved them to the bed while Amity freed herself from the trousers with her feet.

"Do you want to continue?" Luz asked when she placed herself atop the pale body, looking down at the needy golden orbs, panting heavily.

"If you stop now… I swear no one will find your body." Amity growled in a needy, breathy tone, bucking her hips up, pulling the human's shoulders in. It was a weird encouragement but Luz enjoyed it. Maybe a little bit too much. "Discovering new kinks, huh Luz?" The human thought, smiled with satisfaction, and then kissed the pale lips fiercely. Amity moaned with pleasure and the brunette moved down to the witch's neck while she placed herself above the right tight allowing the witch to gain some friction. "Luz!" She exclaimed when she felt jeans covered thigh hitting her core, protected by only thin underwear. The witch did not notice when or how her hands landed on the human's back, digging her nails into the skin. She felt the scars underneath and was afraid to hurt her girlfriend but had very hard time controlling her urges. "Let go…" Amity heard again. All fear was forgotten when she felt Luz trailing kisses again toward her ears while the human's warm hand made its way to the perky breast. The pleasure erupted from her head, surged toward her core, and brought tingling, electric sensation. Amity dug her nails deep into the human's back and bucked her hips up, rutting against the clothed tight. "Y-Yes! LUZ! A-ah!" She screamed in pleasure, bucking up again and again.

Luz could not believe how sensitive Amity was. For a mere moment she wondered if it was the result of the lack of release due to the control she had to keep herself under or maybe it was how oversensitive her body was in general? She was dragged away from her thoughts when the black, polished nails, sharp enough to leave dents in the wooden desk, clawed her back causing her to growl. Luz had no idea that pain could feel so good. Especially when the witch underneath her was rutting frantically, screaming in pleasure, pulling the human closer in.

"L-Luuuuz! P-Ple… Ah! Don't… Don't stop!" Amity started to mumble and the brunette noticed with satisfaction how the whole pale body started to tense up. "I… L-Luz… I-I'm…" The witch tried to speak, to warn her girlfriend. In response Luz pinched Amity's nipple with two fingers and rolled it applying more pressure, bit the heated earlobe, sucking it, caressed the other one with her free hand, and pushed her thigh hard into the wet, heated core. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA….." Amity yelled out until the scream turned silent, coming undone hard underneath the human, who held her position stubbornly, allowing the witch to ride out her orgasm while she kept grinding on her thigh. "Mmmm…" Blight finally hummed when her body relaxed and let go off Luz's back. "Is the buzzing and deaf sound normal?" She wondered while she did not even notice when the human let go of her ear and nipple just to hover above her, taking in the view of a flushed face, heaving chest, and blissful look in the half lidded golden eyes.

"You are wonderful…" Luz whispered, her own arousal seeping off her lips. Amity opened her eyes and looked at the woman above her. She felt so… safe and taken care of. She smiled showing off her fangs and Luz could have sworn her heart was about to explode with affection. She leaned down to capture the witch's lips in a tender kiss.

The kiss caused both of them to gasp and moan. Within moments its loving nature turned into a needy mess. When Amity bucked her hips up in search of stimulation, the human slowly traveled down, kissing the witch's breasts, avoiding the already swollen nipple, and then moving down to the abdomen. Luz let her tongue roam across the line of the hips, nibbling the skin right above the line of the underwear, making the abdomen muscles tense and spasm. The moans it resulted in were the best reward. Luz looked up when she made her way to a desired destination. She placed her thumb under the hem of the underwear.

"May I?" She asked again and Amity nodded eagerly in response, looking into the human's eyes. Clawthorne did not need any further encouragement. With a wicked grin, she slowly moved down to sit between Amity's ankles and with the accompaniment of delicate kisses slid down the witch's soaked underwear and threw it on the floor. The view she witnessed was nothing her wildest dreams could have imagined. Maybe it was the care she felt for the witch or the desire she was flooded with but she believed it was the most beautiful woman she has ever and will ever see. Amity felt the gaze and just as she was starting to feel uncomfortable Luz leaned down and started kissing her long, smooth, pale legs up. Right then left, up to the knee then up to the thigh. But not yet reaching the place where Amity really needed her.

"P-please…" Luz heard a heated whisper and leaned in. The witch's legs involuntarily spread apart when the human started kissing so close to the already swollen clit. Clawthorne inhaled the smell of the heat and the pheromones drove her wild. She placed a delicate kiss on the bundle of nerves. "AH!" Amity cried out and her hands ran toward the brunette's locks forcefully pulling her in.

Luz could not tease her girlfriend, not when the witch clearly needed another release. She licked the witch's clit delicately, letting her adjust to the feeling and get over the oversensitivity of her previous high. The pale hips bucked up with need and another moan escaped the Blight's throat. Luz layed down comfortably, placed her hands on the hips, held them in place, and offered another lick. Then another, stronger one. Amity moaned again, writhing in pleasure, coming closer to a release. Luz slid down lower and teased the entrance of Amity's vagina then backed up to lap up her clit. "She tastes so good…" Luz thought while her mind went foggy with desire and she moaned into the heat, sending a pleasurable vibration. She was licking hard with a flat tongue, reaching every corner of her girlfriend's most sensitive place. Pale hands were pulling her in hard. The human ignored the pain in her nose and scalp. With the way the witch was reacting, Luz was not about to complain. Especially, since it weirdly worked for her. She felt needed, she felt someone wanted even more of her. Soon enough the human noticed Amity's hips started to work differently, her small nipples hardened… "Oh… Titan." Luz thought with a smile and felt chills aching the base of her back. She took a stronger hold of the hips and dove even further in.

"N-no!" Amity gasped, surprising Luz who hesitated for a second "Don't… don't stop! Faster! L-LUZ!" The witch was thrashing, losing control, her toes curled, and the human did not hesitate anymore. "I'm… YES! I'm… gonna… AAAAAA…" Blight screamed incoherently while the human licked her faster, applying more pressure, reveling in the way Amity's juices squirted on her jaw as she came hard. "Mmmm…" Amity squeaked when the spasms finally started getting weaker, Luz slowed down her ministrations. When the hold on her head weakened she moved up, and hung above Amity who was just recovering from her high, adoring her blissful expression.

"Why… the hell… Do you still have trousers on?" Amity asked, swallowing hard, looking up at the human with darkened, half lidded eyes when she regained the tiniest bit of control over her body. Luz just smiled mischievously.

"How would I know?" She mewled into the sensitive ear "You didn't take them off so they're here…" She added with a delicate lick to the pointy helix enjoying the twitch of the ear.

"Oh, let me fix that." Amity said sultrily with a smile. With a small spell circle drawn in the air the trousers and underwear were gone. Luz blushed, shocked with the sudden change.

"I have to admit that kinda turns me on…" The human said with a smile. "Definitely not 'kinda', Luz!"

"Good." Amity said, pushed Luz away and with an unexpected strength turned them around. The witch pinned the human's body to the bed, looking hungrily from above, enjoying the view.

"How are you so strong?" Luz thought out loud, flustered with the way the witch looked at her. Amity smiled widely, leaned down toward the human's round ear and whispered.

"I guess I haven't told you I used to be the Grudby Team Captain." The witch nibbled the ear and then started tracing kisses toward Luz's lips which curled up in a small smile.

"Are you a secret jock, Blight?" Luz whispered with a hint of tease in her heated voice. Her face was flushed with heat, her hazel brown eyes seemed almost black, the scar covered chest was heaving while the whole human body waited in anticipation.

"I told you I want you to get to know me." Amity said, leaning down to capture Luz's lips in a chaste kiss. The witch smiled at the sight of the human underneath her and slowly moved into another kiss. With a seductive lick she traveled down to the human's throat, fighting the urge to bite her. She just hoped Luz would not notice that moment of hesitation when she stopped herself from leaving a mark. "And I want to get to know you, Luz…" She whispered and slowly started traveling down the human's body. She moved with her kisses to the left collarbone and licked the scar that lead her to the Clawthorne's breast. Luz gasped in pleasure, her breath shallow. Amity heard the fast and wild heartbeat in her chest. "Do tell…" Amity asked when she kissed the scar again "What's the story behind this scar?" She asked while she trailed its shape with her curious tongue, kissing and sucking the breast where it ended.

"Ah!" Luz had trouble talking "Bully in the Human…Ah!" She had a hard time focusing "In the Human Realm." She finished and Amity rewarded her girlfriend with a suck on the nipple. "A-Amity!" Luz exclaimed, bucking her hips up but her girlfriend spotted another scar at the lower right, on her abdomen. She kissed down and trailed her tongue over the thin scar.

"And this?" The witch asked with a low voice that combined with the kisses and licks she offered made Luz buck her hips up again and whimper in pleasure.

"Operation… Human Realm…" The human said, trembling as she already knew what was coming next. She understood the game Amity came up with. The witch moved her pale hands to massage Luz's breasts and moved slowly to her ribs where she licked and sucked on another scar. "B-Beasty…" Luz complied and Amity changed the direction of her actions and started moving down. She hovered for a while above the human's core, enjoying the smell of pheromones and the sight of her impatient girlfriend. She sighed heavily, leaving the warmth of her breath right where Luz wanted her but the witch moved away toward the left thigh, torturing the human. She kissed it delicately while she learned the shape of a large scar in the shape of a crescent moon while her hands massaged the lean legs dangerously close to the dripping core. "Ah! Slitherbeast!" Luz yelled out in pleasure.

"This I will have questions about later." Amity commented with a smile but suddenly yelped when she felt Luz sitting up. Her tan arms snatched her up and pinned to bed underneath the human. The witch looked into the brown eyes almost black with lust. It caused Amity to tremble. She loved the sight of this side of her girlfriend. As a matter of fact she started wondering if humans have primal instincts similar to witches. Are they as difficult to control? Are they as overwhelming? What a moment to worry about the species differences. She sat up and Luz was kneeling above her left thigh. The pale palms touched the human's waist, her hand traveled up, cupping the left breast and her lips accompanied her. The left pale hand slowly slid down to Luz's core. "May I?" She asked, looking at the heated face and Luz nodded eagerly. "Fuck! So wet!" The witch thought while she felt a painful chill in her loins. The witch slowly slid her hand down to the human's clit and with delicate pressure, started applying friction. Amity looked up, stopping her assault at the human's breasts, absolutely enamored with the expression on her girlfriend's face. Luz almost howled in delight, pushed her hips into Amity's hand, and felt the pleasure overtaking her body. "I have never felt anything… How is she… Titan! So fucking good!" The tan hands cupped Blight's face and she kissed her fiercely, moaning into her lips.

"P-Please, Amity…" Luz whispered between kisses. "Please… I need you more!" She begged in the heat. "P-Please… Aaaa! Fuck me!" She added and without any warning Amity pushed two fingers into her girlfriend dripping slit. "AH! YES!" Luz yelled when she felt how the witch stretched her inner walls, sending waves of ecstasy throughout her body.

Amity watched her girlfriend's reactions closely, taking note of every sound and shiver. The witch slowly retracted the fingers and pushed in again. Rewarded with another loud moan she repeated the movement. She started curling her fingers in to find a new reaction of the human's body. Luz suddenly pushed Amity down to the bed and hovered above the witch, still bucking her hips and moaning in pleasure. Their lips connected again in a fierce kiss, the witch was surprised with a feeling of a warm hand traveling down her body and she did not stop her legs when they spread subconsciously letting her girlfriend explore.

"LUZ!" Amity exclaimed when she felt Luz entering her slowly with two fingers. It was intoxicating. She felt so connected with the human above her. The witch inserted a third finger into her human and then moved her thumb over the swollen clit.

"Ah! Fu-fuuuuck…" Luz could barely control herself, baring her teeth, gasping, rutting fervently, licking and biting pale neck causing the young Blight to tremble while they were getting closer to the edge.

"Please!" Amity started bucking up frantically "Yes! Don't stop! Harder!" She moaned with a low voice, hiding her face in the crook of the human's neck. She was losing all control. "Yes! I need you… So fucking much!" She felt so close. Luz groaned when she felt how the witch had tightened around her fingers.

"Don't hold back…" Luz moaned "Come for me…" She added when she felt herself getting closer to the edge. As much as they both loved the feeling spreading across their bodies with the high amount of pleasure running though their nervous systems, dangling inches from the edge, they both needed a release. Encouraged by Luz's words Amity took her hand away from Luz's back and placed it on her own clit to get extra stimulation.

"Luz, please! I'm so close!" The witch moaned and her body turned stiff, her hand increasing pace on her clit.

"Amity, I'm… I'm…" Luz felt herself approaching the edge faster than anticipated, turned on with Amity's actions, watching the witch with wide eyes, and wide pupils. It seemed like ages or maybe it were seconds but before they realized what was happening, they were both moaning in pleasure, thrashing their bodies at each other, coming hard. They rode out their orgasms panting heavily but none of them retracted. Luz lifted herself up a bit to look down at her girlfriend, breathing heavily, coming down from her high. They searched each other's eyes in wordless communication. Amity bucked her hips again and curled her fingers inside Luz who felt the heat growing again as if it was never satisfied. Without any further encouragement or plea Luz started working on her girlfriend again. Curling up, pulling out and pushing in. Slowly at first, having her oversensitivity in mind but then increasing the pace. Amity did the same. "Y-yes!" Luz hissed with a low voice and she returned her attention to the witch's ears.

"Aaaa! Luz!" The pleasure was bringing out the primal urges she fought so hard with. Amity had no idea her girlfriend knew that.

"A-Amity…" Luz whispered into the witch's ear "You can do it… Aaaa!" She tried to give her consent "B-Bite me, Amity!" She managed to choke out and that made Amity stop everything she was doing and pull back a little bit to look at the human above. The golden orbs looked at her girlfriend in shock and disbelief. They were both heaving, looking at each other.

"A-are you… sure?" Amity could not believe what she was hearing.

"I've been sure for a while, Amity…" Luz confirmed with a soft smile and leaned into a kiss. "And I noticed you seem to want that too…" She added and moved again inside her girlfriend causing the witch to whimper. "She wants it? But does she understand?" Amity could not focus on her doubts anymore when she felt a warm tongue on her earlobe. The pleasure abandoned for a mere moment returned with its full power. They felt as if they were at the top of the world. "A-Amity… I-I'm… Mmmmm!" Luz tried to warn the witch, exposing her neck, while she was barely keeping her body in control, pumping her fingers hard in and out, caressing the spiky ear with her right arm she used to support herself. Amity increased the pace as well helping her girlfriend reach her high and the moment she felt Luz clench around her fingers she bit down the human's neck, breaking her skin, dipping her fangs deep in, causing the human to shut eyes and release a high pitched scream of pain that quickly turned into a moan of ecstasy while the witch could have sworn she felt a flow of her magic sip into the bite, thinking "MINE!".

The orgasm flushed over their bodies like a tidal wave. It felt as if it was a merged feeling of their both bodies, connected by a bite on the human's neck. It was much more intense and satisfying than anything either of them experienced before. They moaned, screamed, and gasped as they rode out their shared pleasure. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, they felt everything slow down, the pleasure faded, and Amity let go of the bitten neck, watching how the pinkish light healed the human's flesh.

Slowly, carefully watching the reactions of the other they retracted and pulled away to look at each other. Luz felt her heart somersault when she noticed Amity's lips red with her blood. The witch's eyes were somewhere between scared, happy, satisfied, shocked… She never expected to experience what she just did.

"Come here…" Luz said, sliding the hand she used to support herself above the witch under her head, and hugged her close.

Amity entangled herself with the taller, warm body. They were still both panting and looking at each other with deep affection. Luz stroked the witch's cheek and cleared it from the strands of green hair.

"Oh, wow… Sex…" Amity whispered after a while when she managed to regain her ability to talk, still heaving. Uncontrollable smile of satisfaction creeped up on her face, exposing her fangs "You… Are amazing." She said exhaling, closing her eyes in satisfaction, and Luz smiled cockily "I guess practice makes perfect" She added and the human's face flushed with a blush while she looked away.

"Um… nice of you to think that" Luz said in an embarrassed tone "But you are my first…" She added. Amity's face presented shock but also great satisfaction. She did not want to share the human with anyone.

"Oh… I assumed. Since you're so caring and…" Luz interrupted her with a kiss in a rush of panic.

"I am also a cursed human adopted by an ex-most-wanted-criminal who uses weird wild magic." She said, pulling back, playing it cool "I was rejected so often it is very hard for me to actually trust someone." She added an honest explanation and Amity blushed deeply while she bit her lower lip, exposing her fangs.

"I meant to say: since you are so caring and well…" She hesitated, blushing "Well versed in witch's anatomy." Amity blurted out, looking away.

"Yeah…" Luz had no idea how to explain herself from this one. "Here goes nothing." She thought and took a deep breath. "Beside the fact that Eda took 'the talk' very seriously we may have had a small adventure that may or may not have included a body swap." Luz managed to say and felt Amity's shocked stare. "My first reaction may have been 'I'm so old and… pointy'..." The human hid her face under a pillow. "Please, don't ask for details, it's too embarrassing! Can we go back to the part where I don't trust people?" She muffled from underneath the pillow, making Amity smile.

"You are the first person I have no problem being close with…" The witch admitted when she lifted the pillow from Luz's face and kissed her tan cheek.

"Yeah, I noticed as much." Luz said with a mocking laugh and she was punished with a delicate punch to her arm. "Sorry, I don't know how to deal with compliments. I really appreciate you telling me about yourself." The human added and Amity's ears slanted down a bit.

"I can relate. It's difficult accepting something you had no idea existed in the first place." Blight said and suddenly she felt a delicate kiss on her forehead.

"Well, get used to it. As long as I'm around you will be receiving compliments, I will cook you anything you want, I will respect your boundaries and listen to your needs… especially those needs." Luz promised with a wicked grin and wiggling eyebrow.

"So you cover your affection with jokes too, huh?" Amity asked, starting to understand how Luz worked.

"Yeah, sorry… It's just… It's all new to me as well." The human explained with a sheepish grin.

"It's okay." Amity said as she pecked her on the cheek. "We can explore it together." She added, snuggling in closer to Luz's body tracing the fresh mark with her pale fingers unknowingly sending chills down her girlfriend's body. "Forever together…" She thought sleepily and the human noticed how pointed ears twitched underneath the green mane. She already knew it was the first sign of Amity falling asleep when she was trying not to. Clawthorne decided to cover them with a blanket to keep them warm and she also felt herself drift away. With a content smile stuck to her face she was soon asleep.

Amity woke up a few hours later just to learn it was still the middle of the night. She felt warm and safe with another body under the covers with her. She cracked her eyes open and noticed a lean back engulfed in the moonlight. Long scars were shining delicately in the dim light of the lunar glow. She smiled slightly with a content sigh and bit her lower lip when she noticed the intense red, long marks on the back. "I did that…" She thought slowly and carefully moving in closer to hug her girlfriend. The witch's right hand traveled across the human's waist to rest at the lean stomach. She noticed that Luz's breathing was shallow and labored. "Is she having a nightmare?" Amity wondered, pulling herself up to hover over the human's face and try to calm her girlfriend down. Luz groaned a little bit in her sleep.

"Luz?" Amity whispered when she moved in closer. The human groaned again, moving suddenly. The witch leaned in closer, clearing the brunette's hair off her face just to notice a spiky, feathery ear sticking up from underneath the soft locks. The witch's heartbeat sped up in an instant and grabbed the sleeping girl by a shoulder, forcing her to her back. The human's brows were tight together in a frow, face winced as if she was in pain, fangs sticking out from underneath her upper lip. "Luz!" Amity said louder while she shook the sleeping girl a bit.

"Don't!" Luz growled in a wildly distorted voice, making Amity freeze in her actions. "Don't lock me away!" The human moaned and her body started to writhe under the covers. Amity had no idea what her dream was about but the human's words triggered her own memories of Odalia closing her in solitary.

"LUZ!" Amity exclaimed, kneeling next to the sleeping body, cradling her girlfriend's face, hoping this would help. She rubbed her pale thumb over Luz's cheek and tried to calm her down. The labored breathing started to slow down and the tense expression faded. The human slowly opened her eyes. "Oh, Titan…" Amity thought when she noticed pitch black eyes with shining golden irises. "Luz…" She whispered in shock and looked at her girlfriend with a concerned expression.

"Hey, Amity. What's wrong?" Luz asked with a fanged smile, unaware of her current predicament. She reached for a pale cheek with her left hand when she noticed that limb was a feathery claw with sharp talons. The human yelled in fear, jumped away from Amity who quickly got up, following the human, trying to approach Luz to calm her down. "NO! DON'T! I don't want to hurt you!" The human yelled, moving back until she hit a wall with her back.

Amity looked at her still naked girlfriend. The left forearm was feathery but it was not as deformed as she recalled from the day in the school bathroom. Black eyes flashed with golden irises just to turn black again, pointy ears twitched, slanting down and perking up again in confusion, fangs peeked from underneath full lips, more feathers surrounded her abdomen and legs. It could be considered beautiful if Luz's panic would not break Amity's heart.

"Luz, calm down. You did not hurt me. You were just having a nightmare." Amity said softly while slowly approaching her girlfriend. She tried to touch her arm but the human moved away from the touch, panicking. "Please, let me help you calm down." The witch pleaded and Luz slid down the wall, feeling angry with herself, defeated by her own demon. "I always have to fuck everything up!" The human thought and started to sob. Amity kneeled next to her and hugged Luz's head to her pale, naked chest. "Shhh…" She whispered "It was just a dream. I'm here, Luz."

"I'm sorry…" Luz said between shallow breaths, unable to control her emotions. Anger, sadness, guilt. She could not name it correctly.

"Don't be. It's not your fault…" Amity tried to calm her girlfriend down while she stroked curly locks, and brushed them behind the pointy, feathery, twitching ears.

"I always destroy everything… Our first night together… Why couldn't I…" When the sobs intensified, Amity pulled away to look at the human with a stern gaze.

"First of all you did not destroy anything. And second of all, it was not our first night together." Amity argued and Luz was shocked with the commanding voice the witch used with her. The human felt like listening to her, believing her. Clawthorne pulled away from the hug and looked at the witch. Her golden eyes were filled with worry but also warmth and care, making the human believe every word Amity said. "Now, let's calm down together and we'll go back to bed. Also together. Alright?" The witch asked with a similar tone and Luz nodded obediently. The witch got up, turned on the small lamp on the nightstand, and fetched some clothes from her wardrobe. The human squinted her eyes, covered them with her right forearm as the light seemed too bright even though she knew it was not. "Demons with black eyes are sensitive to light." She recalled King's lectures on the Demon Lore. Amity helped Luz into one of Edric's old shirts while Luz tried to calm her breathing down, hoping to regain control over her body.

"I'm sorry…" The human repeated, standing up slowly, still leaning against the wall. She could not look directly at Amity, feeling too ashamed. The witch moved closer and with an index finger guided the human's chin to face her. Most of the feathers on the taller girl's body have already retracted but her face was still having some beast-like features. The witch could not stop ogling the fangs, feathery ears, and black eyes. It allured her.

"You have nothing to apologize for, Luz." Amity whispered in a supportive voice. "You are there for me and I am here for you. Does that sound logical?"

"Yes, but my curse…" The human wanted to argue.

"This is not a competition, Luz." The witch interrupted with a smile. "Do you want to sit with me and tell me what you dreamed about? Maybe that will help you?" She offered, grabbing the human's hand. Luz took another deep breath and leaned on Amity in a desperate hug. It surprised the young Blight but she returned the embrace, comforting her girlfriend. "It's all right, Luz. I'm not going anywhere." She whispered and noticed the human's ears regained their original round shape.

"That seemed more like a memory than a dream." Luz started, pulling away, and looking at her girlfriend with a saddened expression. Her now brown eyes were staring somewhere into the nothingness as if she was seeing the visions from her dream. "It's a recurring dream. Every time I am able to see a little bit more. I just…" She hesitated, looking down at her left hand. "I had no idea it resulted in physical manifestation of the curse." She added and Amity took a hold of her hand and with a delicate pull, guided them toward the bed. They sat down and Luz continued. "It's always more or less the same. I run away from a hooded figure, I'm scared they will lock me away. I see some light and then everything goes dark. I try to escape but it's no use…" She confesses and Amity's face saddens. "I can relate." The witch thought, recalling her childhood. "I try to break free but I never see anything, I just feel the strange texture under my fingers…" She clenched her fists as she paused.

"Do you think it's the Owl Beast's memory?" Amity enquired and Luz looked up at her with a shocked expression.

"I… I haven't thought about it…" Luz admitted, ashamed.

"I mean you do have some kind of connection. It's like you are both a part of each other." The witch continued theoryzing. "You told me you feel its presence… so maybe you can also share memories?" Amity hesitated for a moment. "I heard you talk to it the other day…" She added, afraid how Luz will react. Said woman just blushed as if she was caught on something naughty.

"I mean… I… It's just too loud sometimes…" The human mumbled, ashamed of her behavior. "And you don't mind?" She asked after a short pause.

"And do you mind my quirks? My oversensitivities? My crazy, pathetic behaviors? How I broke down at school…" Amity offered with a raised eyebrow knowing Luz's answer already.

"They are not crazy or pathetic, Amity! And of course not. Especially since your quirks are not endangering anyone and me… I'm so scared sometimes…" Luz said with a low voice, placing right hand on the left shoulder in the place where her back scars were visible.

"Well, that's called self control." Amity tried joking to lighten up the mood "Also, I know you wouldn't hurt me, Luz. Not only that you wouldn't hurt me but the Beasty wouldn't as well." She added, cupping the human's cheek and leaned in closer a little bit. A sudden chirp escaped Luz's lips who quickly covered her mouth with her hands in embarrassment. The witch chuckled a bit "See… I hope that brings peace to your mind." She added and kissed the human's forehead. "Now, what do you say we go back to sleep. We still have a lot to do tomorrow." She offered and Luz nodded in agreement. They laid down together, Amity let Luz snuggle, placing head on the witch's chest and they hugged contently. It was not long when they were both sound asleep, feeling calm and safe next to each other.

When they woke up in the morning they had a hard time leaving the bed as it seemed to be the best place in the Realm. Luz started replaying the events of last night in her head. She got so confused between guilt and pleasure and… realizing she lost her virginity to Amity Blight. "Titan…" That was a thought out of this world. If someone would tell her at the beginning of the semester that would happen she would not believe it. A witch who seemed so cold, keeping herself under control was now a warm and clingy girlfriend. "Best character development ever!" Luz thought while she smiled at her thoughts.

"A snail for your thoughts." Amity said and kissed Luz delicately, waking up as well, purring quietly in content, making Clawthorne smile at the sound.

"I just thought how lucky I am to be with you." The human said, leaning into a delicate kiss.

"Likewise." The witch agreed and caressed the human's hair. "But we should get up soon. We need to prepare for classes tomorrow." She offered the voice of reason and Luz groaned in disagreement. "You know I'm right."

"That makes it even worse!" Luz fought but finally she sat up. "I hate when you are right, Blight…"

"Well, I'm afraid I'm right quite often so you need to get used to it." Amity mocked her girlfriend but finally they were getting prepared for the day.

Once they were ready, Amity walked Luz back to the Owl House so they could focus on their respective studies. The witch was still struggling with creating a fluently speaking abomination while Luz had additional work, working on her Potion, Beast Keeping, and Plant track exams. When they exited the forest hand in hand, Hooty approached them quickly, smashing his beak into Luz's face, making her fall down.

"Hiiiiiii, Luuuuuuuz!" He squealed "How was your daaaaaate?" He asked and smiled at Amity who blushed in deep red.

"Hooty, get off me!" Luz pushed him away and then looked at her blushing witch. "The date was… amazing." She paused and smiled with content "Thanks for asking." She got up and cleaned her clothes off the dust. "Don't tell me you missed me that much?"

"No, hoot! But you have a viiisitooooooor." Hooty replied and left the human standing in front of Amity. Clawthorne facepalmed herself hard with a groan.

"Oh, damn it! I totally forgot I was supposed to study with Willow. She'll kill me." Luz exclaimed, angry with the way things tend to slip her mind when she is focused on something of her interest.

"Don't worry, Luz. Just go in and study." Amity smiled and kissed Luz delicately on the cheek. "She'll better not kill you because I want to see you tomorrow." She added with a fanged grin before leaving into the woods. "What a woman…" Luz thought with a warm feeling in her heart, looking at the witch disappearing in between the trees. She then turned around and walked into the house.

"Spill!" Willow said from the couch when she noticed Luz entering the house. The human had a cheshire grin on her face. "Ohohoho… that good?" The witch said and made the human blush. "When Hooty told me you left yesterday I had some suspicions but now I know for sure." She added with a wicked smile teasing her best friend. "Seems like Odalia's delegation was a perfect coincidence."

"Who said it was a coincidence?" Luz offered with a mischievous grin and Willow's eyes widened in shock. "I mean I did not plan that but I wanted to spend some time with Amity outside of the Library." The human explained sheepishly, sitting in the armchair next to her friend.

"So Eda's absence is no accident as well I presume?" Willow laughed, sitting up. "And what do you have here?" She pointed at the human's neck, smiling wickedly, when she noticed a bite mark sneaking from underneath the loose tee. Willow laughed at her friend's flustered expression. She had no idea Luz could blush so hard when she slapped her neck with both hands, hiding the mark, not knowing what to say. She was not ashamed but she just realized everyone would know now she belonged to Amity "Okay, okay… I guess I don't wanna know." The witch lifted her hands in defense, not wanting to cross any boundaries but knowing all too well what had happened. "Let's get to work." She offered with a delicate chuckle and Luz was glad to comply.

In the meantime Amity decided to pay a visit to her sister before returning to her studies back at the Manor. She was so happy to have clear thoughts with Odalia's absence, so she wanted to use that time wisely. When she knocked onto the blue door there was no answer. She knocked again and all she could hear were some muffled screams coming from down the hall, away from the private quarters. Her overly sensitive ears twitched at the sound. She decided to let go of the knocking and followed the noise. She felt so nervous about that decision but her guts suggested fighting that feeling away. Amity passed the Information Center of the Clinic, entered one of the Operation Rooms, and noticed Emira and Viney in their blue robes. They were struggling with keeping a strange witch alive while the blood poured out of their chest. Amity's face paled but her body reacted on its own. She walked further into the room, where the Healers were trying to manage the bleeding, approaching the operation table. The moment she made it to the bleeding witch, Viney lost consciousness. Amity caught her delicately, helping break the fall but she did not help her. "She'll be fine…" She thought, taking Viney's place in front of Emira, drawing a spell circle, and letting her magic save the man on the table.

"Uh! Good to see you, Sis." Emira mumbled when they both started working on the chest wound. Very slowly the bleeding slowed down and with the fresh energy of Amity's magic helping to contain what seemed to be a deep claw cut, the Healer seemed relieved. Young Blight had a flash of Luz's back in her mind when she looked down at the patient's wound. The lacerations finally closed, the witch's breathing evened out and Emira slid down to the floor while Amity placed healing glyphs and bandages on the stranger's body. She then sat down on the floor as well and looked at her sister. "Perfect timing." The Healer said, touching the unconscious brunette's face.

"Do you want me to take her somewhere more comfortable?" Amity asked and her sister just smiled and nodded. The younger Blight stood up, drew a spell circle and an abomination slime engulfed her sister's wife. She led the unconscious body to the recovery room, right in front of the operation room, where the unconscious Healer could regain her strength.

"And to think she wanted to be just a veterinarian." Emira said with a soft smile while she watched her sister carefully laying down the love of her life.

"Are you all right?" Amity asked worried about her sister "Why is this man so mangled?" She added as her curiosity took over. Emira sat down in the chair next to the bed.

"He had a mishap during griffin training. And yes…" She looked up at her younger sister "I'm alright thanks to you showing up." She smiled faintly. "Why are you here?" Emira asked, realizing this was a surprise visit.

"Um… Odalia's out of town so I wanted to…" She was interrupted with laughter.

"Oh, I'm sorry for laughing. I just thought you'd rather spend time with Luz." Emira explained her reaction, wiggling her eyebrows.

"I already did." Amity said sheepishly, blushing at the thought of her girlfriend and the night they had together.

"Oh, I want to hear about it." The older Blight said and then realized how red her sister's face was. "Scratch that. I totally DON'T want to hear about it." She corrected herself when she realized her sister made a big step in her relationship and in her life. "Oh, wow…" Emira hoped her baby sister would be alright with that change. A longer pause occurred. Amity sat down on the floor in front of her sister.

"I heard you found a way to get rid of this." Younger witch pointed at the choker on her neck "Luz told me that it might kill me. So I came here to let you know that if it comes to that…" She paused, trying to not think about the possibility of not spending another day with Luz "I want you to know I'm okay with that. I'd rather die trying to free myself than spend another day as her puppet." She finally said confidently looking into Emira's eyes with fiery determination "So please… don't let Luz blame herself. She has a tendency to hold the weight of the world on her back…" Emira leaned toward her sister after letting her finish the thought.

"It's a promise, Amity." She said with a faint smile "But I hope that if it comes to lifting that spell up I will be able to patch you up. You can then live with us or if that's not okay with you, I will help you find a safe place to live. Whatever you need, I'm here, Sis." Emira said with a faint smile. She was so proud of her baby sister taking a stand. A stand her twin brother could not take.

"Thank you." Amity smiled with content.

"So was she good?" Emira could not control her curiosity.

"EM!" Amity exclaimed, turning red in an instant, her pupils shrinking in outrage. "Good doesn't even begin to describe it!"

"Sorry, sorry, just curious about the human's… physiology." Emira tried to find any kind of explanation.

"You're just a pervert, Hun…" They heard Viney's groan from the bed. "Saved!" Amity thought and she was never so glad to hear Viney's voice. Both Blights got up and hovered over the lying Healer.

"How are you feeling?" Emira asked her wife, brushing away her hair in a loving manner. Amity was watching their interaction with curiosity. She just realized she had no idea how to be in a relationship.

"I'll live." The brunette sat up in bed and roughed her brown hair. "I'm not as powerful as you are, Em." Viney admitted with a smile, proud of her wife "We may have to ask Amity for planned assistance in the future" She added, looking at the young witch.

"Or just maybe…" Emira said "Someone should stop staying up so late knowing how often we have these kinds of incidents." She offered her wife a smile, and she blushed a bit. Viney knew it was her own fault she could not manage the intense healing session.

"You're getting pretty good with healing magic." The brunette addressed Amity, changing the topic quickly. Young Blight blushed, not knowing how to accept a compliment.

"I had a good teacher." Amity said, rubbing her palm anxiously.

"So am I hearing it right?" Viney kept looking at the youngest witch "You are ready to get rid of this?" She pointed to the choker and Amity nodded eagerly. "Finally…" She said with an exhausted sigh and plopped back into bed "You have no idea how many times Emira lamented that you are controlled by that bitch-witch of your birth giver…"

"Viney!" Emira scolded her wife. "That was between us!" She then turned to her sister "I never wanted to force you into anything you may be uncomfortable with. I know how change affects you…"

"It's alright, Em." Amity interrupted her with a smile. "Change is scary but… I have learned that change can also be good." Young Blight smiled dreamily "And maybe, hypothetically, I have better motivation now." She added and Emira shared a mocking look with Viney "Yes, I'm talking about Luz. Stop sharing those looks!" She exclaimed and they both laughed. Amity moved away and sat in the chair Emira was sitting in earlier. "You have no idea how different it is to spend time with her without constant need to control every thought, afraid Odalia will sense something, and take a trip into my head…" She explained with a defeat in her voice. "Now that I experienced it, the sense of normalcy, how relaxing life can be, I can't imagine going back to what used to be normal for me…"

"Amity…" Emira whispered shocked with her sister's confession. "She never talked about her feelings like that… or at all for that matter." Older Blight thought.

"I was scared Em…" Amity added with a determined frown on her face "But…" She smiled again "Oh… That must be her 'Luz' smile." Emira thought and returned the expression "I don't want to be a coward anymore." She concluded her thoughts, clenching the hem of her black tunic.

"I understand. You have people who will help you." Emira said as she held Viney's hand.

"Yeah… good to see you standing up." The weaker Healer said with a faint smile. The longer silence occurred.

"Right… I better get back home. Still I need to study for tomorrow." Amity said, getting up.

"I hope you don't mind, I won't walk you out?" Emira said as she now felt her exhaustion as well.

"Of course not." Amity said with a faint smile and left the clinic.

As she walked toward the Blight Manor she thought about her past experiences. How Odalia treated her, Edric and Emira. She thought about her father not standing up for then. She thought about the times she was locked away until she would get her emotions under control, until she was ready to comply. How she was not allowed to like or dislike things different to Odalia's taste. "How come I did not realize that it was wrong? I'm so dense!" Amity questioned herself. Anger boiling in her system, her heartbeat quickened while she was approaching the Manor. She lost everything because of her mother. Her freedom, her brother, her best friend, her innocence… The thought of being robbed of losing her virginity to Luz smoldered with anger in her. Those past months spent with the human were the best moments of her life and she was not about to give them up. "No matter the consequences." She thought when she finally made it to her room, determined to fight for her future.

The semester was almost over at the Hexside Academy. If one would look back it was long and short at the same time. So much has happened yet so little. Most of the students had a feeling there was just not enough time to prepare for their exams and yet nothing significant has happened in their lives. They were studying and spending time with their friends, having fun, partying, just being young and foolish. Exactly the way they were supposed to be.

However, for Luz the short time of one semester has changed everything. From the appearance of a mysterious, vicious girl who hurt her best friend in the past, through a person who helped her from becoming her worst nightmare, to gaining a friend who after weeks of bonding accepted her proposal to go out on date and became her girlfriend. That would seem like a fast escalation of their relationship but to Luz who had trouble with the concept of time, she felt as if she knew the green haired-witch for years.

Talking about Amity Blight, the heiress to the Blight fortune and the Top Student in every school she has ever been enrolled in. The past semester created a major rift in her well planned, and structured personality. The personality her mother spent years molding, abusing her into submission. At the beginning of the semester young Blight was obedient, not interacting with anyone below her status, keeping quiet. Just as per her mother's conditioning. "You can continue your studies at the Hexside Academy, and come back home if you will not make the same mistake you did before." Odalia's voice echoed in Amity's head whenever she saw Willow in the distance, keeping herself from running over, begging for forgiveness.

With her ex-best friend there was a nuisance. A loud, cheerful, energetic nuisance. A human. She had no idea humans were a thing in the Boiling Isles. Yet, there was one. Always happy, always making Willow smile and laugh, always being kind and helpful to everyone around, not taking any action against Boscha's bullying, maturely dealing with it, nuisance.

She admired that being even though she had no interaction with it. "It? No… her." She always questioned a mindset her mother inflicted upon her, watching the tan, round eared being with hazel-brown eyes from afar, ignoring how drawn in she was to it. "HER!" No matter how tempting it was, when the human addressed her directly, she still kept quiet, too scared of the consequences. Even if it was a mocking 'Ice Queen' nickname that flustered the witch. Just as Amity promised, she kept her part of the deal with her mother. Until the day Boscha triggered flashbacks of Blight's mother hurting her own daughter in the same way. Amity had no idea she had it in her. She disobeyed her mother and followed the human. She gained a friend, slowly started patching things up with Willow, started spending more time with her sister, and now… Now she had a girlfriend who was the light and happiness in the darkness of her life.

Amity was not about to give up on that. Not after the days she spent with a clear mind, away from her mother's influence. She now knew that despite her fears there were things in life worth fighting for. Even if the change scared her to the point of choosing submission. "No more…" Amity made up her mind.

The morning sun shone over the Hexside Academy as the week of exams was dawning upon the students. It was an interesting period when there was not a lot of laughter heard in the corridors since everybody was doing last moment reviews. Sense of fear and despair was easily detectable at the Academy.

The tall, tan girl was just picking up her books from her locker. She was accompanied by Willow since they were supposed to go to their Plant Track exam together. Luz was rambling like she usually did whenever she was excited or passionate about something, gesturing energetically, her hands all over the place.

"And then I snuck into Eda's workshop…" The human said, not noticing how wickedly her friend smiled. "Yeep!" She exclaimed, surprised with a strong hug and a delicate kiss on the bite mark on her pulse point that sent cold chills down her spine. She looked down and noticed pale arms surrounding her waist.

"Hi, Luz!" Amity said happily, adoring her girlfriend's reaction. She sneaked underneath the human's arm like a snake and hugged her from the side. "Hi, Willow. Hope I didn't interrupt anything." She added realizing how she behaved. Willow just laughed.

"Oh, no… Luz was just being… Well, Luz." The Plant witch said with a dismissive wave of a hand, causing her human friend to blush. "I see you don't mind people knowing you two date now, huh?" She asked her ex-friend with a raise of the brow. Now it was Amity's time to blush.

"Well…" Amity looked down sheepishly as she let go of Luz. "Besides the fact that everyone can see Luz has someone…" She realized the bite mark was not covered with the Clawthorne's loose clothes "Why have an awesome girlfriend if you can't tell the world about her?" She asked, looking wickedly at the human who blushed even more but grinned happily.

"See?!" Luz addressed Willow, pointing a finger at her "I'm an awesome girlfriend!" She exclaimed in a very Luz-like manner, being overly proud of herself. Said witch just rolled her eyes but chuckled anyway, happy for her friend.

"Well who would have thought?" Willow mocked both of them "But I'm happy to see you more…" She addressed Amity gesturing all over her body. "More yourself. Don't get me wrong but I'm proud of you." Willow added, taking her backpack and straightening her posture.

"Do you mind if I walk you to class?" Amity asked, trying to ignore a compliment she had no idea how to respond to. Willow smiled at it as she was well aware that the other witch heard her.

"Oh, so now you want to show off your awesome girlfriend by walking me to class?" Luz mocked looking down at the green-haired witch with half lidded eyes, wiggling her brows.

"I meant both of you but whatever rocks your boat, Clawthorne." Amity said with a fakely cold tone, causing Willow to giggle. Luz smiled and placed her hand on the young Blight's waist to keep her close. Willow led the way to the Plant Track classroom while Luz and Amity followed her in a close embrace. The whispers filled the silent corridor like a buzz of the Fire Bees. Students lifting their heads from their textbooks and notes, their jaws falling down in shock.

"Is that Blight? With Luz the human? Isn't she like a criminal? Such a shame! She could do better! Disgusting! Isn't it like a subspecies?" The voices made it to Luz's ears. "Blight? Amity Blight? No way! Way to let her standards drop. Ew! Maybe it's a rich people kink?" Another set of voices made it to Amity's sensitive ears. Luz noticed they started twitching and tinting red. "Are they, like, together? Damn… They do look happy. Is this a real deal? Is she marked? Good for them!"

"Amity, are you sure about this?" Luz leaned down a bit, whispering into Amity's ear, scared of the mixed messages she was hearing. "I know you spent years building your image, status, and stuff… I don't want you to be in trouble because of me." In return the witch just held her tighter, looked up into the concerned brown eyes, and smiled in an almost maniacal manner.

"Luz… I spent years maintaining the image, status, and stuff my mother shaped for me." Blight said with all seriousness in her whisper. "When I'm around you I finally feel like myself. The days I could spend without feeling her influence were eye opening. I don't care about the consequences anymore, or the change it will bring. Like you said: a lot of bravery comes from support and I'm done being a coward." She added with a determined voice and gave Luz a delicate peck on the cheek. "Oh, I did not see that coming." Luz thought while she blushed crimson red.

"You'll always have my support, Amity." Luz promised "But there are more people supporting you. Emira, Viney… Willow tries to hide it but she misses you very much and will always help you as well. You might not realize it but you also got Eda and King on your side." Luz continued and placed a delicate peck on Blight's temple causing the witch to smile.

"Thank you, Luz." Amity said when they stopped at their destination. Willow waved them goodbye, walking into the class whilst Luz and Amity faced each other in an embrace. The witch tied her hands behind the human's neck, looked up at her girlfriend and smiled happily showing off her fangs. "How I adore that smile." The human thought, staring at the shorter girl's lips. They leaned in closer and Luz gulped a little bit anxious. She never showed off her feelings in public. Just like Amity. It was all new to them. "Good scary," as the witch said the other day.

"Are you sure?" The human asked in a heated whisper.

"At least no one will have any doubt that I'm yours…" Amity said with a wicked smile, delicately caressing Luz's mark, sending chills down her spine. Luz cupped the witch's cheek and looked at her seriously.

"Amity… you belong to nobody. I'm just honored I can be a part of your life." She whispered and the young Blight could not believe how lucky she was to be with someone who respected her individuality. Amity closed the gap between their lips in a fierce yet delicate kiss, her left hand moved down, away from the mark on the neck, pulling in Luz by her shirt while the right one made its way underneath the beanie, scratching the human's scalp. A delicate moan escaped Luz's throat. They parted a few seconds later, feeling flushed, and leaned their foreheads in. The content smiles spread across their faces.

"Good luck on your exam." Amity said when she finally moved away a little bit. "Oh, fuck! Exam!"

"Shit!" Luz panicked and turned away to run into the class. Before Amity could walk away Luz ran back to her. "Will I see you later?" She asked and the Blight laughed at the human's antics.

"Of course, you dork. Now go pass that exam." She said with a smile and watched Luz run back into the classroom. She shook her head in disbelief and walked to her classroom to take the Abomination Track exam. "So far, this is the best day ever…" She thought, walking down the corridor, holding her head high with confidence, ignoring all the gasps, comments, and stares she got from the other students. She smiled at her thoughts while she approached her workstation to take her exam.

When Amity was done with her exam and was actually proud of herself to make a fully communicative abomination, she decided to pick up Luz from her Beast Keeping exam. Blight left her books in the locker and just as she was about to leave, she felt someone watching her. The witch tried to shrug off this feeling and started walking down the corridor towards the exit of the school. Just as she was passing by the janitor's closet she felt someone yanking her arm and pulling her in. Amity did not think twice. She ignited the purple flames around her right hand while she pushed the person into the wall of the closet.

"Skara? What the hell?" Amity asked in shock, looking at the scared face of her colleague. She took a step back and extinguished the flames.

"Sorry, I didn't want to alarm you. I just needed to talk to you somewhere where Boscha won't find us." Skara explained and young Blight crossed her arms, raising her eyebrow in a questioning gaze.

"What is it about?" Amity had no time for pleasantries. The tone of her voice would make Odalia proud.

"I know a simple sorry won't do, so I'm not gonna apologize for the past years. But now things are different for me." Dark skinned witch started explaining "Long story short, I am happy for you and the hum-… and Luz. But I worry that Boscha… She's unhinged." She tried to explain best to her abilities. "Boscha told your mother how you defended Luz, she followed your mother's order to overstimulate you. And she did that with sick pleasure… She beat the shit out of me for not wanting to help her…" She looked away ashamed and hugged her arms. "I don't want to think what she'd do to you if she'd know you guys are dating."

"And you worry, because?" Amity did not understand the purpose of that confession. "Why risk Boscha's anger and tell me all of that?" Skara looked at Amity, her eyes filled with tears.

"I sold myself for the opportunity your mother offered. She paid for my education, she paid my parents a lot of Snails so we don't have to worry about hunger anymore…" The Bard said. "But I hate what I have become…" She added, barely holding her tears back. Amity just groaned and massaged the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "Yeah… Odalia does that to people. How can I blame her? I mean… she had the guts to come forward. Better late than never." Amity thought, trying this Luz-like positivity.

"Thank you, Skara." Blight finally said with a much warmer voice. "I will keep your words in mind but just like you, I too hate what I have been made. Just like for you, things are different for me now." Amity whispered. "So no. I do not worry about Odalia finding out I'm dating Luz. And if you don't mind I will now go, pick up my girlfriend." She added and was just about to leave when she felt a hand on her arm. "Don't…"

"I'm sorry." Skara mumbled, quickly removing her hand in fear. "I just wanted to let you know that if you need any kind of help, you can count on me." She said but Amity did not reply. She left the closet and made it to the school exit. She still had to pass the grounds and campus before she could make it to the Beast Keeping stables but she was grateful for the distance. She had a chance to clear her head before making it to her destination.

"No! Puddles! Don't!" Amity heard Luz's yell in the distance. "Dork…" She smirked a bit. "I don't have snacks anymore!" The screech of the griffin was heard across the campus while some people stood around the stables watching the field.

"I'm betting 10 Snails the human won't make it till the end of the exam!" She heard some random students watching her girlfriend's struggle. Amity walked over toward the fence, angry that someone would even suggest Luz's failure. She leaned over and noticed the human running away from the mean griffin, her flannel was already ripped in a few places but Blight knew all too well that the human was just having her fun. It made her smile at the theatrics of the Clawthorne.

"Oh, that would be a shame if the griffin would rip your girlfriend to pieces." Amity heard a familiar voice behind and her anger levels started to rise drastically. A pink haired triclops leaned on the fence as well, her back facing the stables. "But after all… that would still be nothing compared to what Odalia would do to her, am I right?" She continued and Amity really had a hard time controlling herself. "The audacity! She attacked Luz, tattled to Odalia… She broke me down in front of the girl I like, and now what?!" Amity thought while she was already imagining all the hurt she could bring upon the witch standing next to her. "I wonder what would happen if Odalia would see that photo?" Boscha asked, presenting Amity the photo of herself and Luz kissing in front of the Plant Track Homeroom. That did it. Amity's hands ignited with a purple flame, her eyes were filled with rage.

"How dare you come here and threaten me!" Amity growled in an almost primal voice, snarling, baring her fangs, ruffling her hair slightly. "How dare you show your face to me after years of abuse, attacking Luz, you… will… get…" Blight started walking closer to Boscha with a murderous intent.

"Miss Clawthorne, stop playing with the griffin and please pass the exam!" The professor's voice was heard in the distance. That was when Luz noticed a purple fire at the remote corner of the field. Her goofy aura disappeared in an instant and she sent Puddles a stern look. Suddenly the griffin did not dare to attack the human anymore. On the contrary. Luz whistled and mounted the animal. With the swiftness of harmonious movements they took off into the sky. Witches and Demons gathered around the stables could hear distant whistles when the human ordered the griffin to dive rapidly at the corner where Amity was about to fry Boscha. Puddles grabbed the pink haired witch by her shoulders and flew up again with strong beats of powerful wings. Amity was left gaping in shock. She had no idea what happened to the opponent she was just about to attack.

"Oh, hi Boscha!" Luz said when she hung down across the griffin's neck. "Funny meeting you here." She added with a laugh and she petted the animal.

"Let go of me! You filthy monster!" Boscha yelled in anger and disgust.

"Oh, come on, Boscha! Puddles is a clean griffin!" Luz joked goofily. She noticed Amity smiling widely, her fire extinguished, and she thoroughly enjoyed Boscha's punishment.

"You know, I meant you human!" Boscha retorted.

"Yeah… I might need a shower, true." Luz said mockingly. "But at least I won't be smelling like shit for the next week!" She added and with that Boscha looked up at the human with shock. "Come on, Puddles!" Luz yelled, giving the griffin a hidden snack, and with a short whistle the beast understood the command perfectly. It dropped Boscha directly into a big pile of feces waiting to be removed from the stables. A loud 'ooooo' and 'daaaamn' was heard from all around. Luz then flew back over to Amity and looked down at her. "Did you like it?" Luz asked, offering her a hand, seeing a cheerful smile on her girlfriend's face, ears perked up, her anger long forgotten.

"I loved it!" Amity exclaimed, accepting the human's hand, climbing onto the griffin's back sitting in front of the human who held her tightly, making sure her girlfriend would not fall. Luz then guided Puddles back to the entrance of the stables where her Beast Keeping professor was waiting.

"Miss Clawthorne!" The professor exclaimed while she walked over to her student. Luz was just helping Amity down when the griffin screeched angrily.

"Wow, Puddles! Chill! Viney did spoil you. Yes!? Who's a good griffin!? You are!" Luz started petting the animal and Amity shared a look with the professor "Here! Have a snack! Yes, another snack! I lied to you! I had more. Now go back to the stable." Luz added and surprisingly Puddles listened to her without any hesitation. Luz then turned to her professor with an overly confident smile. "Ta daaa!" She exclaimed looking at her teacher, waving her hands in a comedic manner causing Amity to snort.

"You just had to show off, didn't you?!" the Professor started.

"But you have to admit, you enjoyed this just as much as the students." Luz said with a mocking voice. They all looked at Boscha removing herself from the pile of feces. "And I did what was asked of me." Amity raised an eyebrow. It never occurred to her THIS was actually Luz's exam.

"Ugh, fine! At least you didn't throw confetti this time around." Professor said in defeat and she looked at her pad. "Clean the griffin. Check." Luz mouthed the last word and extended her index finger. "Bridle the animal. Check." The human extended her second finger. "Prove ability to command the griffin in flight."

"Check and check!" Luz exclaimed, pointing first at Boscha and then at Amity who placed a palm on her forehead and shook her head in disbelief.

"What a dork…"

"Indeed, Miss Blight." The professor agreed. "Your girlfriend is a dork but also she managed to score the highest grade. She kind of reminds me of another Clawthorne Beast Keeping master." She said with a small smile and then addressed the human. "I don't know how you do it but you are the first person to tame Puddles since Viney." She added and turned around to leave. "Finally this day is over." She added making the human smile. Suddenly Luz felt a delicate punch on her arm. She turned around and looked down at her girlfriend.

"What?" Luz asked with a grin.

"Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean it's okay…" Amity scolded her girlfriend.

"Just because you are jealous I had all the fun putting Boscha in her place doesn't mean you get to be angry with me." Luz mocked the witch, knowing what that was really about.

"Pff… fine." Amity accepted the defeat and hugged the human. Within a second into the hug she moved away with nostrils widened and ears slanted. "Oh, Titan! You really need a bath! What did you do with that griffin!?" Amity asked and Luz just laughed wholeheartedly.

"Oh, you know. You are not the only one who likes my hugs." Luz laughed when she got her satchel and guided Amity off the stables.

"Am I supposed to be jealous?" Blight asked jokingly. "You better enjoy hugging only me." Amity threatened her girlfriend as they walked hand in hand toward the forest.

"Let me get a shower and I'll show you how much I enjoy hugging you." Luz purred into the witch's ear sending chills down her spine, causing her to blush.

They were getting pretty close to the Owl House when they heard a familiar high pitched voice. They stopped their chat just as Amity finished telling Luz about her interaction with Skara. The human had to react quickly.

"BUG!" Hooty yelled and lunged himself at Luz, beak open wide, his eyes shut tight. The human jumped out of his way just in time.

"No! Hooty! It's me!" Luz exclaimed, rolling to the side again. Before she could say anything else Amity towered above her with hands engulfed in flames.

"Oi! Hooty!" She growled, grabbing the Demon's beak. "Open your eyes and stop attacking my girlfriend!" She ordered with a voice so vicious even Eda would obey.

"Bug!" The Demon mumbled through a squeezed beak.

"Not a bug, just Luz in a great need of a shower." Amity said, slowly releasing the Demon. Hooty looked at Amity then back at Luz.

"Your girlfriend is scary…" He said when he lowered himself down to Luz's level.

"I like it too…" Luz told him with a mischievous smile and then she stood up. Amity extinguished her firespell and looked at the human.

"Shower, now! I'll be waiting in your room." Luz saluted and ran inside the house without any further argument and Amity followed her shortly.

"Geez! And to wonder why Eda calls her 'Boots'." Hooty mumbled to himself. "BUG!"

Amity went upstairs to Luz's room. She already could hear the water running in the bathroom down the hall. She took off her boots and laid down in the human's bed waiting for her girlfriend to return. She summoned her Penstagram and scrolled through. The photo of her and Luz's kiss was almost everywhere. "Huh… Clever… Lumity…" She snorted, noting the people made a new hashtag. "I actually love that photo." She thought and saved it to her scroll. "Too bad Luz can't have the Penstagram… At least I have a chance to miss her when we're apart…" She thought and did not even notice the human finally entered the room.

Amity made the scroll disappear and looked at Luz. Soaking wet, wearing only an oversized shirt and underwear, drying off her hair that became extra curly, wetting the top of her tee. Amity looked at her body with almost glowing eyes. She tried to remember every part of her girlfriend. Lean, tan legs, pink scars, abs peeking from underneath the tee, her strong arms holding the towel, warm smile, thick brows, her curls… Everything. "So… Beautiful…" The witch thought, blush spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.

"Comfortable, Blight?" Luz asked with a smile when she noticed Amity eyeing her intensely. Said Blight had no retort, she could not look away. Before the witch could react in any way Luz threw the towel at the desk and herself on the pale woman, pinning her down to the bed. "Hi…" The brunette purred, looking down at her girlfriend, smiling mischievously.

"No, Luz!" Amity tried hard not to laugh at the human's gimmicks. "I'm all wet now!"

"Oh? And I haven't even kissed you yet." Luz teased the witch with a wicked grin plastered to her face.

"Not like… Ugh! You dork!" Amity bit her arm playfully and Luz just chuckled.

"Well, I can work on that." The human added, leaning in and delicately kissing the witch's lips. She pulled away to look if Amity was all right with the affection. Their laughter died and they shared an intense look. The atmosphere in the room shifted and Luz felt the witch pulling her in, burying her pale hands in between wet locks. The kiss deepened as they felt the need to be closer. The soft lips, the warmth of their bodies, the smell of wet hair mixed with citrus and musk shower gel, the comfortable and safe feeling of being squeezed by a taller body.

"Mmm… you're on the right track…" Amity moaned with a soft purr. Luz smiled in satisfaction and leaned down to bite the soft neck and nib the pointy earlobe.

"So you say… making you happy is yet another track of mine?" The human asked jokingly with a low growl.

"You're too good of a kisser for me to point out how bad that joke was." Amity laughed but her laugh died out when Luz sucked on her collarbone. The witch moaned, happy with the feeling spreading across her body.

"You were saying?" The human asked with a wicked smile knowing all too well how that spot worked for the witch underneath her.

"Don't stop…" The witch pleaded when she felt her loins aching with a chill that ran through her spine. Luz smiled and looked down at Amity while her warm hands traveled down to the hem of the witch's shirt. Amity nodded in consent and she soon found herself half-naked, bucking into her human girlfriend, wanting more friction. She still could not believe how lucky she was. "Focus!" Amity scolded herself when she realized her thoughts were running toward a dangerous direction. She did not want to think about it. Not now! She was happy. She really wanted to be with Luz. She was all hers. A soft moan brough Amity back from her thoughts. She felt the human's hands traveling down her waist and down to her trousers. This was weird. The heat Amity felt just a moment ago turned into a panic. "NO!" She suddenly yelled, engulfed in fear, trying to free herself from the touch.

"Amity?" Luz asked with concern, stopping all her actions. "Oh, Titan! Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt her? Did I scar her emotionally?" Luz was trying to understand what was happening. The witch sat up and covered herself with a blanket, her pupils shrank, and ears slanted down in fear. "Talk to me…" The human pleaded. The golden orbs were moving frantically as if she had no idea what was happening to her.

"I-I-I… I'm so sorry…" Amity stuttered in a whisper when she regained her speech. "I… I just…"

"It's okay. You don't have to explain, Amity. You can change your mind at any time. Always." Luz tried to comfort her girlfriend but that only brought tears to the golden eyes. The witch started breathing rapidly and the sobs took over her body.

"W-Why…." Amity choked. "W-Why are you s-s-so good?" She asked, throwing herself into Luz's chest. The tan girl was anxious whether she should hug Amity or not. Yet, she knew she had to help the witch calm down.

"Shhh… Amity…" She tried to calm the witch down. "Trust me, I'm not good… I respect you and your boundaries." She said and she started rocking back and forth to help Amity calm down. "Do you want to talk to me? Tell me what happened?" She asked and even though Amity nodded the witch could not choke out a single word. "Don't worry… We have all the time in the world. Don't force yourself. Shhh… It's all right… You're safe…" The human said and they kept sitting in that rocking grip, while Luz kept the witch in a close embrace, caressing her back in calming motion, for what seemed like an eternity. Or maybe it was just a second. Both of them were really bad with the time-space continuum.

"You were…" Luz bit her lower lip afraid to hear the next words. "A-amazing…" Amity finally said. Being hugged by the human and not being forced to look at her helped the witch with the confession. "I don't deserve to be hugged…" She thought and pulled away but was still not ready to look at the human's face. "But my thoughts… I thought how lucky I am to be with you and then…" Amity stopped, tears ran down her cheeks again, and she hugged herself. Luz had no idea how to behave. "Should I hug her? Hold her hand? Ugh! You're useless!" She yelled at herself. A quiet chirp reminded her to focus on the girl in front of her.

"You don't have to say if you don't want to…" Luz offered with a calming voice and concern in her eyes. Amity finally looked up. She felt not worthy of the compassion spilling from those hazel orbs.

"I'm so sorry. I just have those flashes of memories. I thought of how happy I am with you and then I felt again how… how…" She cried, trying to control herself but failing miserably. "Odalia forced me… but really I listened to her, I didn't stand up for myself and he… he… I s-still feel his touch! I feel d-disgusted with myself, my body, m-my life!" She started rambling and Luz started getting a better idea of the demons the witch was living with.

"Amity…" Luz interrupted very quietly and she lifted the witch's chin. "I haven't experienced what you did but I understand what it is like to lose control… of your life, your body…" She spoke softly, looking at the Blight with care and affection "I will never force you into anything. I am just happy you trust me enough to share those feelings and memories with me." She said and was hoping for a positive reaction. The witch wiped her eyes and looked down sheepishly massaging the inside of her palm.

"Thank you, Luz…" Amity whispered. Her voice was suddenly calm. It seemed a bit off to Luz but the witch got up and put her boots on. "I guess I should be going then." "What the…" Luz thought but went along.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" The human asked honestly, concerned about the witch. She had a breakdown just a second ago and now she was leaving without company.

"No, I need to think. But thank you…" Amity said coldly and without any further notice she left the room, leaving Luz dumbstruck.

"Amity!" Luz caught up to her by Hooty's door. The demon looked at their interaction from a safe distance. The witch looked at the human and raised her eyebrow. "Will I see you tomorrow? Same place as always?" The human asked enigmatically.

"Of course! Like always." Amity replied and left without a smile, wave of a hand, goodbye kiss or a hug.

"Oh, I have a bad feeling about this…" Luz murmured to herself and used all of her self control to not follow the witch into the forest.
