After a few days, Luz and her friends returned to Hexside. The 4 of them met up out the front "so how did your returns go?" Luz asked
Willow rolled up her sleave to reveal an odd looking device that looked like an abomination styled wrist watch "my dad's are making me wear this tracker so they never lose me again" she replied
"isn't that a little extreme?" Luz questioned
"when I entered the house they were half way through making my coffin"
"wow, dramatic much?" Amity said before turning to Gus "how did things go with your dad?"
"it went great actually, once we got over the crying, we spent the whole weekend doing father/son stuff" he replied
"how about you Amity?" Luz asked,
"I found out how much my dad truly loves me and my siblings, he apologised profusely to us for putting his work before us and hardly paying us any attention, as well as letting Odalia control us as much as she did"
That made her friends perk up "Odalia?" Willow questioned
"yeah, she didn't even care that I was missing. Also I'm 99% sure my parents are getting a divorce"
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Willow asked
"I'm not quite sure myself, on the one hand she is my mother, but on the other she has just seen my siblings and I as things to show off"
"Well I wouldn't miss her" they turned and saw Edric and Emira, both not wearing their concealment stones
"guys!" Luz said as she hugged them both, having grown close to the two
"hey Luz, nice to see you with 2 arms now" Emira said
"yeah, so why aren't you wearing your concealment stones?"
"When dad found out that mum was forcing us to wear them, he told us to take them off and never put them back on. I've honestly enjoyed not having to look perfect to please mum"
"I wish I had a camera when dad saw us without our concealment stones on, it was priceless" Edric said, remembering his dad falling over in shock.
Luz then turned to Amity "so you no longer hide your hair colour at home?"
"nope, dad actually liked my purple hair colour"
"purple suits you better than green" Emira said and she gave her little sister a side hug
"word of warning though, Boscha has become a borderline monster, her parents have apparently moved up in society to the point where she's now untouchable. She's also gotten much stronger than she was before, she busted out of the detention pit again, she's caused several students to go to the healing coven with broken bones, and she essentially does whatever she wants" Emira warned,
"don't worry, I'm sure the 4 of us can take her down a few pegs" Amity said before she turned her arms into giant abomination ones, and punched a fist into a palm.
Boscha's friends, or minions at this point, were in the hallway looking at a crystal ball Celine was holding, it was showing the school reporter giving the daily report "for the election of school president, the first candidate to step forward was 14 year old Boscha of the Abomination track, who had this to say"
"get in here you chunks of filth!" Boscha called out from a classroom
"eh she's going to need a better slogan than that" Cat stated
"NOW!" her friends jumped in fright and raced into the classroom "as you bloated slobs may be aware, I've decided to run for class president. Unfortunately no one seems to want to run against me, and an election can't happen if I'm the only one. I asked Principal Bump why no one would run against me and he said I have a bit of a personality issue"
"oh no no, not you B-"
"I'M SPEAKING!" her friends clamed up "so I've decided to find someone so pathetic, so worthless, so profoundly stupid, that no one even in their wrong mind would vote for them. It's embarrassing to ask, but which one of you fits that description…come on out with it!" her friends shuffled in place "alright, the next one to say something stupid, has to run against me"
Amelia shuffled forward a bit "…um how stupid does it have to be"
"bwahahaha congratulations Amelia, you're nominated!" Amelia dropped her head at this "now get your lard filled butts out there and start making campaigns!" and with that they bolted out "ha, with Amelia as my opponent, no one can beat me in this election"
Principal Bumps office
"I must say, in all my years being at this school, you are the first ghost who has ever attended as a student here for some reason or another."
"Because ghosts can't use magic?"
"I was going to say because of lack of transparency, but that's another reason I suppose."
"well think of me as a witch/ghost hybrid" the ghost girl said, she had almond shaped eyes, light brown skin, long teal blue hair in a pony tail, and she spoke with a semi-broad Australian accent. (deviantart naruto1234007 / art /BOTBI-Lotis-967140888)
"may I ask how you came to become…you?"
"Well, it happened when my class at St. Epiderm took a field trip to the old ruins on the knee. Unfortunately, the ground gave way under me when I got too close to the edge and I fell down a hill, landing on a slitherbeast that was at the bottom. The stupid beast tore me right in half" she then lifted up the bottom of her shirt to reveal that the waist down was gone with the bottom of her torso being jagged and shredded. "my parents, didn't want their only daughter to be gone, so they used some forbidden magic, which they messed up, resulting in my current form. It's not bad though, I can still interact with solid objects, plus I can fly, and go through walls, and my magic abilities are still intact"
"I see, so which track or tracks would you like to learn from"
"hmm, I'd like to join the plant track and the bard track please"
"very well" Principal Bump then twirled his finger and one of the ghost girls' sleeves went red, and the other went green "now off to class with you" and with a twirl of his finger she was dragged out of Principal Bump's office.
Now out in the hallway, the ghost witch grinned before she zoomed off to her first class. In just 5 seconds she was now out the front of 'Plant 101' she went to knock only for her hand to go through the door "oops" making her hand solid she knocked twice. There was a pause before the door opened, revealing the Plant Track teacher
"oh…you're the new ghost, I mean girl?"
"Sure am" she replied with a smile
"well come in and welcome to Plant 101" and the ghost witch floated in "class, I would like you to meet the new transfer student" whispers went around the room as they saw her legless transparent form
"hi there everyone, my name is Lotis, I just transferred from St. Epiderm. As you can clearly see, yes I am a ghost, but, I'm a ghost that can also perform magic" sticking her hand out to a pot of dirt, a glowing ring appeared around her wrist before a large bush covered in exotic flowers erupted from it.
This impressed a lot of kids and even made the teacher clap in delight "well Lotis, why don't you take a seat next to Willow over there and we can continue" Willow waved her over and Lotis flew over the class, amazing everyone, and landed in the seat next to Willow.
"Hey there, I'm Willow," she said while sticking out her hand
"Lotis, nice to meet you" and they shook hands
"Okay everyone back to chapter 7…"
The bell screamed to signal recess and soon the halls of Hexside was flooded with students. A lot of the students were in awe at the new student. A transfer student was one thing, but a witch/ghost hybrid was definitely a new one. Lotis showed off her ghost powers, which included possession and making both herself and other's intangible. As she floated up, she could see a bunch of students surrounding a much larger one, all of them offering the larger one food "hey Willow, why are those students giving that fat one so much food?"
"that would be my friend Luz, she's a human"
"a human! Now this I've got to see" and she flew through multiple students, sending a bitter chill through their bodies as she did.
She stopped right in front of Luz, startling her and the student she had just passed through. Grabbing Luz's arm they then both sunk down through the floor, landing gently on the floor below them. "wow, that's one way to avoid a mob, thanks" Luz said
"no problem, my name is Lotis by the way"
"wow, that's a pretty name, my name's Luz. I've never seen a ghost witch before"
"well I've never seen a human before, so I guess we're even"
"so are you new here?"
"yeah, this is my first day. I transferred from St. Epiderm on the knee"
"you know, you sound Australian"
"Australian? Is that what people on the Boiling Isle call people from Australis?"
"What's Australis?"
"it's an island to the south of this titan, I was born and raised there until my parents and I moved to the knee, we actually lived in a lighthouse there until we came over here" Lotis explained, she then looked and saw banners and pictures of a triclops with the words 'vote Boscha' underneath. Similarly there was also the same for a green haired witch named Amelia. "so is there like an election going on or something?"
"yeah, essentially the school bully is running for class president"
Lotis then got a wicked grin on her face "well then I'm going to beat this bully so badly she'll crying out her defeat, where do I sign up?"
"pfft dream on ghost girl" they turned and saw Boscha with her hands on her massive hips "I'm going to win this election because everyone will know what will happen to them if they vote against me" and she punched one fist into a palm
"pfft I'm not scared of a bully like you"
both of Boscha's hands tightened into fists before relaxing "then how about a wager, if I win this election you have to wear a dunce hat and a shirt that says loser on it"
"fine, and if I win…you have to have to wear a pink tutu for the rest of the year"
"deal" Boscha then made a spell circle and the two shook hands
"the ever lasting oath is sealed" they said in union while smirking at each other.
Luz and her friends were currently sitting at a table in the cafeteria having their recess lunch. At this point Luz knowing that it was enevidable that students would be giving her food, including her friends, she had made a sign that said 'just put your food on my tray and I'll get to it', thankfully all of the students obeyed the sign and simply left their food on Luz's tray as opposed to simply cramming it in her mouth. "hey there" they all turned and saw Lotis now wearing a large back pack "can I sit with you guys?" she asked
"sure" Willow said and she moved over a bit to give Lotis more room to sit down…or at least the closest thing to it considering she no longer had a lower half. She then took off her backpack which looked like a blue cartoon monster head with a mop of orange wool-like hair on top.
"cool backpack" Luz said as she kept eating
"oi, no wonder you're so fat" it said, making Luz partly choke on her food "if you eat like that everyday, you'll be the size of this school in only a matter of months" it said in a broad Australian accent.
"Scruffsak, don't be rude!" Lotis scolded
"hey, I calls em as I sees them" it said
"well, anyway, you've already met Luz. This is Gus"
"Sup little dude"
"nice to meet you" Gus greeted
"and the one currently gorging on spider back rib meat is Amity"
"can't talk, eating" was Amity's only reply. Scruffsak's zipper mouth opened and a ragdoll made of various patches of fabic, and a head that had no distinguishable features, crawled out. As soon as it exited a wave of happiness washed over everyone at the table.
"what is that?" Gus asked as it simply sat up and turned slowly to look at everyone
"this is A.C., Always Calming, whenever its around, all bad thoughts and emotions disappear" Lotis explained "I found it in a bin outside an old toy shop, why someone would toss it a way is beyond me" AC then crawled over to Luz, before sitting up and extending its arms for a hug
"oh of course, I'm always up for hugs" and as soon as she hugged it she froze and her eyes began glowing bright yellow. She stayed like this for about 10 seconds before she let go of AC "wow, now that's what I call a hug" she said
"Luz are you okay?" Willow asked
"yeah, in fact I feel better than ever. It's like everything that could possibly make me sad is gone"
"huh? Its never done that to me before?" Lotis stated,
"really? Not even after this?" Gus questioned while gesturing to Lotis' ghostly form.
"nope, mainly because I've only become more powerful as a witch because of this"
"makes sense" and they began asking Lotis more questions about her life.
By the time recess ended, word of Lotis running for class president had spread like wildfire. Luz had also volunteered to be her campaign manager with her friends offering to help as well. "Luz, out of curiosity, do you know how to be a campaign manager?" Willow asked
"Sure I do, I ran for class president at my old school, so I know exactly what to do…and what not to do…anyway, first you need to make friends with the students, then you need to tell them what you plan on doing when you become class president and why they should vote for you, the-"
"what about the trials"
"uh, what trials?"
Willow spoke up "well seeing as how there are 3 people currently running, a series of challenges are performed to narrow it down to 2"
"…right. Boiling Isles"
Lotis grinned and put an arm around Luz's shoulders "well besides the trials, you sound like you know what to do to win a class presidency, plus you can also be my secret weapon to getting as many votes as possible"
"How?"
"let's just say that this gut of yours is going to become very important in my campaign" and she made a scone the size of Luz's head, prompting the others to all make food as well
"oh boy," she muttered before she started eating the food they made for her.
Boscha growled as she saw what Lotis was promising the students, not only would she fix up all of the problems that the school had, but she would also let anyone who voted for her to feed Luz to their heart's content daily. "Sorry Boscha, but I don't think that there's any way to top that. Getting to feed a human whenever we want is too great an opportunity to pass up" Skara stated. As much as Boscha hated to admit it, she knew Skara was right, as long as that human was working with the ghost girl, there was no way she would win. Her eyes widened slightly as a tape measure was put around her waist by Celine.
"145 cm, I'll get to work on your tutu"
Boscha went bright red in the face "Celine, one of these days I'm going to gut you and turn you into luggage!"
"well I've always dreamed of traveling with you too"
"oh shut up!" and she threw Celine across the hall "there's got to be something that could level the playing field" hearing a crash outside, she peered out the window and saw the cutest thing she had ever seen in her life crawl out of a tipped over trash can "bingo"
King was now sitting on a desk with Boscha and her friends surrounding him "so let me get this straight, I help you win this election thing and in return, I get to rule over everyone in this school?"
"That's the deal, you little cutie" Boscha said, giving him a tummy scratch
"then I accept! First I rule the school, then the whole Isles!"
'too easy…oh my titan he is so cute'
The school was soon flooded with pictures of Boscha and King, with King being as cute as possible "aw, it's not fair that Boscha's using cuteness to get votes" Gus said as he looked at Boscha's new campaign posters. Luz, after eating enough food to stuff 15 students, groaned
"How could that jerk *gurgle* ugh possibly look cute *burp*" she then saw the poster Gus was holding "what the?! Ki*BELCH*ing?!"
Lotis perked up at this "you know this thing?"
"yeah, I live with him. This isn't good, with her using that little bundle of joy, we'll never win"
"well if Boscha gets taken out in one of the challenges, then it won't matter if she has King," Gus said while trying to look on the positives.
Boscha, Lotis, and Amelia were now at the start line, all they had to do was make it to the other side of the course. While it looked like a straight path, the whole thing was rigged with booby traps, designed to take out anyone. None of the three looked worried in the slightest despite the fact that there was a high possibility of injury or death. With the blow of a whistle Boscha and Lotis took off while Amelia made a spell circle. Boscha either simply plowed through whatever obstacle was in her way or used abomination magic to assist her. Lotis was simply using her intangibility powers to avoid everything. Lotis passed over the finish line where she was greeted by Amelia "what the?! How did you beat me here?!"
"I had a flower take me underground and bring me here" Amelia explained before Boscha crossed the finish line, slightly singed.
"Ha, you two buckets of puss are too pathetic to take something like that head on," Boscha said as she removed a thorny vine from around her neck, Amelia lowered her head at the insult and Lotis frowned
"impressive" principal Bump said "normally that eliminates one of the candidates, oh well on to the next challenge"
"Okay, with this challenge, you'll need to either need to tame or defeat a fracklbeast"
"what's a fracklbeast?" The three candidates asked they got their answer when principal Bump whistled and three giant creatures that looked like a rhino and a crab had a baby with a boulder, burst out of the ground "oh, that's a fracklbeast" they said in union
"one for each of you" he then blew his whistle and the fracklbeast charged at the three candidates.
Boscha grabbed the beast by its horn and dug her feet into the ground to try and stop it, but she just kept sliding back. When it stopped charging, Boscha gave a roar and with a quick and hard twist, she snapped off its horn, making the fracklbeast screech in pain. Boscha glared at the creature "unless you want me to do that to all of your legs, back off!" she ordered. Fearing that the triclops would carry out her threat, it whimpered while backing away, before tunneling back underground. Hearing a loud snap, Boscha turned and saw that one of the fracklbeasts heads was turned the wrong way. She then watched as Lotis exited the beast with a smirk
"you've gotta love possession," she said they then turned to Amelia and saw that her fracklbeast had gone limp and there were vines coming out of its mouth "wow, impressive"
"don't give that worthless sack of lard any praise"
"what the hell is wrong with you?! Isn't she like your friend?"
"Lotis, here's something you should know about me, I am a great and powerful witch-demon hybrid, and everyone else, they're worthless nothings. Because of my position and new social standing, I can say anything I want to you lot, and you have no choice but to flatter me in return"
"if I had legs still, I'd kick your ass, which wouldn't be difficult seeing how big it"
"When I win this election, I'm going to give you a permanent detention!" Principal Bump stepped forward
"I am genuinely impressed, you three have managed to last through 2 of the 3 trials, most students don't last more than one. Well if you three make it past the final challenge then it will be the first time we'll have 3 candidates instead of 2"
"what's the third challenge?" Amelia asked
"it's arguably the toughest challenge out of the three, very few students can handle it"
"ha, bring it on, I can beat any challenge you can give me" Boscha stated with Lotis sharing Boscha's sentiments.
"Okay, seriously, how does this count as a challenge?" Boscha asked as she, Lotis, and Amelia were now each wearing a baby carrier each with a baby abomination in it "it's one thing to be a strong witch, it's another to be caring and have sensitivity. You shall each take care of an abomination each for 24 hours, if they say that you did a good job taking care of them, then you pass"
"I am an abomination expert, I'll pass this with no problem"
"it's just for 24 hours, no biggie" Lotis said in an unsure tone
"oh aren't you just the cutest little thing," Amelia said before giving it a kiss.
"King!" Luz exclaimed as she entered the owl house
"weh?!" was King's only reply before he was scooped up by Luz
"why are you working with Boscha to win this election?"
"I'm going to rule the school when she wins. She also gives me muffins every time I 'act' cute" he said before looking as cute as possible. Luz's eyes sparkled and she gave a whimper before hugging him
"oh my gosh, it should be illegal to be this adorable!". Once she regained her composure as best she could, she tried to get a determined look on her face "cuteness may be one thing *slaps her gut* but no one can resist feeding me"
"hey kid, welcome back," Eda said before shoving a fairy pie into Luz's mouth
"eee" *chew* *chew* *chew* *gulp* "that is how I can get votes for Lotis"
"you do that, by the end of the week, you probably won't be able to enter the house anymore" Luz became slightly puzzled at this, she knew that she now had to go through doors sideways, or at least on a bit of an angle, and this had concerned her a bit, but now the thought of being too big to get through any doorway or potentially getting stuck somewhere due to her weight didn't bother her at all. She knew that this should be something that she should still be worried about happening, but the concern and worry of that happening were now no longer there…in fact now that she thought about it she hadn't felt any concern about her size since she met Lotis…
"oh by the way Luz, I got you this," Eda said and she gave Luz a plush toy that was a cat with a body in the shape of a ball
"oh my gosh it's so cute!" she said as she took it
"I know you said that you forgive me, but I don't forgive myself for what I did"
"…um what are you talking about?" Eda looked blankly at Luz
"uh your arm, the one I bit off and ate"
"what?! You never did that to me!"
"of course I did! It's why you left here to stay with your friends"
"no, I left here to stay with my friends because…?...?...huh? that's weird, I can't remember why I left here"
"Did someone use a spell on you to alter your memories or something?"
"no…well at least not that I can remember"
Eda thought for a moment "what's the worst memory you have? Think hard" Luz tried thinking as hard as she could about every major event in her life, but not one memory was bad in the slightest
"nope, I can't think of anything bad happening, maybe I'm just lucky"
"or maybe you just came into contact with a joy demon"
"a joy demon?"
"they're demons that bring joy and happiness to everyone and in some rare cases can erase bad memories and all or most negative emotions one can feel"
"A.K.A loser demons" King quipped
"Well isn't that a good thing?"
"no it isn't, think about it, a loved one could die and you wouldn't feel any sadness whatsoever, or the memory of that death could be erased"
"hmm, wait Lotis' doll AC! It made me feel really happy, especially when I hugged it"
"a doll? Did it move on its own? *Luz nodded* then it must have the soul of a joy demon in it"
"is there a cure, oh maybe the golden healing that can help"
"you can try, but the only known cure is for them to give you back said memories and feelings"
"I'll try the hat first" going up to her room, Luz spotted the golden healing hat on a bust. Placing it on her head…nothing happened "I guess it's only physical injuries that it can heal" she said to herself before turning to her doorway, "it doesn't work" she called out
"okay" came a reply before Luz began thinking of moment's in her life that might have been erased.
During her trip down memory lane, she reached some odd memories, such as why she and her family moved to her current house in the first place, and after a period she hardly had any memories of her dad for some reason. she also thought about her time in the past and several events that happened seemed to be gone. She was definitely going to confront Lotis about AC about this tomorrow.
The Next Day
Boscha was frowning, Lotis looked like she was about to have a breakdown, and Amelia just looked sad, Professor Hermonculus stepped forward "so how did you three handle your abominations?" he asked
"I am never having children in the future," both Boscha and Lotis said in union, making the professor laugh before he went to confirm that the girls took care of them. Both Boscha and Lotis' abominations gave 'iffy' hand gestures while Amelia's didn't want to let go of its new 'mama'
"well looks like we have another three-way tie" Professor Hermonculus declared, before dispelling the three abomination babies.
"so we still have three candidates in the running, looks like it's going to be the students that decide" Principal Bump stated, hoping that the voting wouldn't become a blood bath…again.
Luz confronted Lotis about AC and how it made her happy as well as erased some of her memories "hmm maybe that was why it was tossed out in the first place"
"my snails are still on that it was too ugly," Scruffsak said before an arm came out of its mouth and whacked it on top "ow! Okay, I'm starting to get another theory as to why it was tossed out"
"behave you two or I'll leave you both in my locker"
"I'll be good"
"so Eda says that the only way to get my memories back is by having the demon give them back, so can you get AC to give me my memories and negative emotions back please"
"sure" Lotis replied and she pulled AC out of Scruffsak. AC at first didn't want to give them back, but after some stern words from Lotis, it reluctantly gave Luz her memories and negative emotions back. Regaining her bad memories back, the answers to her questions from last night came back, she remembered that her dad had died. Remembering seeing him die in front of her brought a tsunami of sadness and more than a few tears, though she had cried in private so as to not make anyone worry about her.
Over the next few days, Lotis and Boscha were relentless in their campaigns by bribing/threatening students, slandering each other, and using their secret weapons to their fullest potential. "vote for me, Lotis, and you'll get to feed my human friend Luz to your heart's content every day!"
'enter the owl house, I probably won't be able to walk by the end of the week' Luz thought to herself as students kept giving her more and more food than she normally got.
"vote for me, Boscha, and you'll get to pat and take selfies with this adorable little guy" Boscha declared as she held up King
"I will rule you all!" King declared while raising a tiny paw. Amelia tried to make her campaign slogan be heard, but she was constantly drowned out by her two more popular (and louder) opponents.
It was finally Friday when the voting for class president would begin. All students and teachers were piled into the auditorium with the three candidates on the stage behind a podium each. "As with every election, the candidates will each have one more opportunity to persuade the students to vote for them, Lotis, you go first," Principal Bump said, Lotis then spoke up
"I'd like to start by saying that I am the best choice for class president, I'm kind, bold, non-violent, helpful, and willing to stand up for everyone, and that's why you should vote for me for class president, thank you" the students clapped for Lotis
"very good, Amelia you're next"
"um well, I think um you should uh vote for me because um I'm a good person, and uh will make the school better" silence.
Boscha leaned into her microphone "you would hear crickets chirping, but they were too uncomfortable about just how bad of a speech that was" the auditorium erupted in laughter, making Amelia sink down. "well now that the dead half-witch and the sniveling sack of lard are done, it's my turn to speak. If you don't vote for me, I will personally rip off your heads and use them as Grudgby Balls!"
"hey Boscha" Boscha looked at Lotis as she pulled a doll out of her talking bag, a slight wave of happiness washed over Boscha "catch!" and she threw AC at Boscha, who caught it. As soon as AC was in Boscha's grip the wave of happiness increased dramatically and it stuck its arms out to her. Without even thinking, Boscha hugged AC causing her to freeze up and her eyes to glow yellow for a minute straight before she let go of AC.
Boscha wobbled on her feet for a bit before she collapsed to the floor in a heap, she was then taken to the healing homeroom "well that's one way to get rid of a political opponent" Amity said, she and her friends had watched the whole thing from one of the wings of the stage. Principal Bump spotted the doll crawling back over to Lotis, with a glowing green hand, he picked the doll up, not being affected by is joyful effects
"ugh I hate these kinds of joy demons" he then looked at Lotis "if she doesn't recover from this you'll be in detention until you graduate" he then turned to the students "now that the candidates have made their final speech, you may now commence your voting, the winner will be declared at the end of the day," he said before leaving the stage, taking AC with him.
When the voting began, every student got into a long line and began casting their votes for who would become the next school president. Principal Bump, who was overseeing the voting, gave a weary sigh as fights started to break out already between students, he just prayed to the titan that there wouldn't be another riot in the auditorium, last time they had almost obliterated the school yearly budget in repairs to the auditorium.
Meanwhile
Lotis, Luz, and her friends, had all headed to the healing bay, where they found the schools nurse asking Boscha questions "do you know where you are?" the nurse asked
"School"
"Okay, do you know which year you're in?"
"um year 2, no 5, or am I in 4, I don't know everything is such a jumble," Boscha said, now starting to get distressed
"It's okay, relax"
"do you remember what you were doing last?" Lotis asked as she floated forward
"Who are you?" Boscha asked, making everyone's eyes widen
"do you know who I am?" Luz asked, Boscha just shook her head before offering Luz what looked like a plate of nachos "well this is a new one" she said as she took them and ate them.
"do you know who I am?" Amity asked, Boscha's eyes widened at this
"wow, Amity, what happened to you? You're so much bigger, and your hair's purple"
Amity blinked, "okay she's lost at least 3 years of memories"
"looks like a lot of her memories were bad and therefore erased, with any memories linked to those being gone as well" Lotis stated,
"should we leave her like this?" Gus questioned, but he was only met with silence, due to no one really wanting to answer that.
Lotis gave an annoyed sigh "I'll go retrieve AC from Bump if he'll let me?" and she disappeared through the wall
"hands up if you wished that you could do that?" Luz asked, everyone, raised their hands, Lotis returned shortly with AC.
"Okay, use your powers to give her, her memories back," Lotis asked AC, who dropped its head in defeat before Lotis extended AC out to Boscha "here Boscha, hug this little guy"
"oh, he's so cute!" Boscha said and she took AC, bringing it into a hug. Like before she froze up, only this time her eyes glowed orange for a minute straight. When it stopped, she blinked twice before handing it back to Lotis with a look of unbridled rage on her face "do that to me again, and I will make you suffer in ways you will not believe" she then got up and left without another word
"really starting to think that we shouldn't have given her, her violent personality back," Gus said with everyone else agreeing.
After the final vote had been cast, they were all tallied up, which took a while. Soon Lotis, Boscha, and Amelia were all back on the stage while Principal Bump stood before them "it's been an extremely intense week between these two er I mean three students, but only one can win. The votes have been tallied up and the scores are as follows. For Boscha we have 458 votes, for Lotis we have 467 votes"
"HA! In your face tutu girl!" Lotis shouted at Boscha, who looked ready to double-kill her
"Ahem, and for Amelia, we have 2738 votes"
"WHAT!" everyone shouted in union
"How the hell did she get that many votes?! There aren't even that many students at the school!" Boscha demanded
"turns out teachers, lockers, spirits, and anything with any kind of sentience that resides at the school can vote as well" Amelia stated, two Hexside guards at the door held up a banner that said 'Amelia is #1' in large green letters
"yes, even I voted, I couldn't even begin to imagine what this school would be like with one of you two in charge" Principal Bump stated to Lotis and Boscha "give it up for Amelia!" all of the students remained in stunned silence before an army of lockers, spirits, demons, and sprites came in and made their way to the stage, Amelia jumped on top of them and they left with her while chanting her name. Leaving the two behind to pick up their jaws.
It had been a week since the elections, and already Amelia had made some improvements to the school, she had also made a new rule that if any of the students wanted to feed Luz, they had to pay 5 snails first. This money would then go into the school to fix things up. Luz was actually happy with this arrangement, the 5 snail price actually deterred a few of the students from simply just offering or feeding her. Boscha had also changed, albiet very slightly, due to the AC incident, she had gone from a ruthless violent bully, to simply a violent bully...hey i said very slightly.
As Luz and her friends made their way to the cafeteria they ran into Lotis who was now wearing a dunce hat and a shirt that said 'loser' on it
"hey Lotis, sorry about Boscha not undoing the oath," Luz said
Lotis sighed "It's humiliating, but I'm sure students will get over it-"
"hey loser," a passing student said
"…eventually"
"well at least it's not as humiliating as Boscha's part of the oath" Willow added, making the 5 of them laugh.
Boscha, now with a permanent scowl on her face while wearing a pink tutu looks at the reader "say anything and I'll rip your spine out through your ear!"
Author's Note: and the end of another chapter. A lot of elements in this chapter are a throwback to Australian 90's television. Also some of may have guessed this but Boscha's attitude in this chapter and future ones are based off of B.P Richfield from the show Dinosaurs. Please leave a review to let me know what you think of the chapter.
