I don't own Disney's The Owl House. I do, however own the Main OC. Hope you all enjoy my story on this lovely show.
Chapter Twenty- Two
It has been a few days since the so-called petrification. It even took Danielle a long time to recover. The flickering designs went away but the bottom half of Danielle's hair stayed silvery white and her irises were now half a light purplish pink. During those days, whenever Danielle was coherent enough, was able to explain what happened in her fight with Belos. To say the least, the Clawthorne Sisters were not happy hearing that their so-called Emperor was a human witch hunter that should have died years ago. Danielle was even able to keep her promise with Collector during those days, by playing Uno with him, even though King had to hold the cards for him. Collector picked up the card game pretty fast and enjoyed whatever videos Danielle had on her cell phone. Today though, was the planned mind dive that Danielle has been wanting to do.
"Alright then, me and King will be heading in Danielle's mind to see what this Voice is," said Eda, staring at everyone in the living room. "Lilith and Hooty, you two will keep an eye on Danielle."
"What about me?" asked Collector, looking at Eda. "What do I do?"
"Let Danielle cuddle the heck out of you," replied Eda, chuckling.
"Aw man," said Collector, hovering near Eda.
"Here we go," said Eda, starting up the spell before Amity, Willow, and Gus barreled into the house, accidently pushing Lilith along with them and into the spell. "Uh-oh."
"Whoa!" shouted Amity, Willow, and Gus, landing within the mind of Danielle with everyone. "Ow!"
"What are you three doing here?" asked Eda, staring at the three. "There's a limit to how many people can go in someone's mind. And now Lilith is here as well."
"Don't forget me," said Collector, coming out from behind Eda.
"How are you…" said Eda, only to see a wispy trail coming from Collector. "And that just leaves Hooty with Danielle… fantastic."
"Sorry but we really want to know what this Voice is as well," said Amity, looking at Eda.
"And maybe see some memories," said Gus, looking around. "Is this…"
"Whoa, I've been in Willow's mind but it wasn't anything like this," said Amity, looking around the mind. "It looks otherworldly."
The inside of Danielle's mind was mind-blowing. The trees had a light blue bark with dark blue foliage. The grass was a shade of emerald while the ground itself was a sandy white. Everywhere everyone looked the inside of Danielle's mind was gem like in appearance and sparkly.
"Yup, this is what the inside of my race's mind would look like," said Collector, before staring at a memory.
"Ooh, a memory," said King, climbing half in the memory. "What do we have here?"
"Phew, sweet pea," said Danielle's Dad, waving his hand in front of his face. "What have we been feeding you? Ooh, so tarry."
"She's still a newborn sweetie," said Danielle's Mom, laying in bed looking tired while hearing Baby Danielle giggle in glee.
"Big mistake," said King, falling backwards out of the memory.
"King, this isn't a field trip. We're here to…" said Eda, looking at King than seeing Lilith peer into a memory. "Lilith."
"So, this is one of the sports here in the Human Realm," said Lilith, looking at the sport and seeing a seven-year-old Danielle at the bat.
"Home run, folks," said the Announcer, watching the game. "The Hopkins girl has done it again. The Gravesfield Howlers are taking the lead."
"Aah!" shouted Lilith, the baseball beaning her in her head and leaving the memory. "Ow!"
"Let's check out this one," said Willow, going into a memory with Amity and Gus.
"Mmm… this isn't going as planned," said Eda, following everyone into the memory. "Where are we?"
"I remember this," said Willow, looking around the place. "This is the main observatory deck of Tokyo Tower."
"Oh my, the floor right here is glass. Why would they do that?" asked Gus, looking at the glass floor and looking down. "Whoa, we're high. What a rush!"
"I don't like," said King, skittering back to the exit only for the elevator to close. "What! No, let me out of this memory!"
"No no, too high," said a Nine-Year-Old Danielle, clinging to someone.
"Huh…" said Eda, seeing the scene before her.
"Aunt Reina…" said Nine-Year-Old Danielle, clinging to her aunt.
Reina stood at five foot six inches. Had shoulder length dark brown hair in a bob cut and dark blue eyes and light skin. Was wearing a white short sleeve dress with a sunflower design and white dress shoes, a pink purse lay on her right side. Nine-year-old Danielle was wearing pink shorts with a yellow shirt with flutter sleeves with a purple pawprint design on the front, and was wearing strapped pink sandals.
"I'm right here Danielle," said Aunt Reina, placing her hand over Nine-Year-Old Danielle's hand. "Besides, you were up higher on the airplane. This should be a cakewalk for you."
"Yeah, but I was really tired when I was on the plane and fell asleep," said Nine-Year-Old Danielle, putting her face into Reina's dress. "Please, I can't do this… I-I… huh…"
Nigetari akirameru koto wa daremo
Isshun areba dekiru kara arukitsuzukeyou
Kimi ni shika dekinai koto ga aru aoi hoshi ni
Hikari ga nakusenu you ni
"Izumi-nīsan…" said Danielle, hearing her cousin's voice over the intercom.
"Let's go see him then," said Aunt Reina, slowly guiding Nine-Year-Old Danielle through the main observatory deck.
"I hate this," said Danielle, sobbing as she slowly walks. "I'm not brave, I'm not strong."
Tsukame! egaita yume wo
Mamore! daiji na tomo wo
Takumashii jibun ni nareru sa
Shiranai pawaa ga yadoru haato ni hi ga tsuitara
Donna negai mo uso ja nai
Kitto kanau kara...show me your brave heart
"Huh…" said Danielle, hearing the last part. "Bra-Brave He-Heart… I can do this, I can…"
"Wow, Danielle really is scared," said Eda, walking along with everyone after Aunt Reina and Nine-Year-Old Danielle.
"I can't blame her," said King, crawling into Eda's hair.
"Collector, why are you clinging to me?" asked Eda, seeing Collector clung to her. "You probably have no problem with heights."
"True," said Collector, clinging to Eda. "I really don't understand myself right now but… I don't like this."
Hare no hi bakari ja nai kara tama ni
Tsumetai ame mo furu keredo kasa hirogeyou
Ikikata ni chizu nanka nai kedo dakara jiyuu
Doko e datte yukeru, kimi mo
"Where are you?" asked Nine-Year-Old Danielle, looking around for her cousin. "Izumi-nīsan."
Hashire! kaze yori hayaku
Mezase! sora yori tooku
Atarashii jibun ni aeru sa
Shiranai yuuki ga nemuru haato ni ki ga tsuitara
Mune no naka no doshaburi mo
Kitto yamu kara...show me your brave heart
"Izumi-nīsan!" said Nine-Year-Old Danielle, seeing her cousin at the end, not far away from the elevators. "Right… brave heart… eee…"
Tsukame! mabushii asu wo
Mamore! ai suru hito wo
Takumashii jibun ni nareru sa
Kowase! yowaki na kimi wo
Kuzuse! butsukaru kabe wo
Atsui kodou buki ni naru kara
Believe in your heart
"That's my little niece," said Aunt Reina, no longer having to hold Danielle's hand as she runs over to her son.
"Izumi-nīsan!" said Nine-Year-Old Danielle, running over and clinging to Izumi.
"That's my special little cousin," said Izumi, rubbing the top of Nine-Year-Old Danielle's head as he hears everyone in the observatory clapping for them.
Izumi was in his teens. Had short dark brown hair and matching dark brown eyes, and fair skin. Was wearing a short sleeve red shirt with a black Eiffel Tower logo on the front and khaki cargo shorts. Was wearing flip-flops.
"Was I really that brave?" asked Nine-Year-Old Danielle, staring at Izumi.
"Yes, yes you were," replied Izumi, standing up and holding Nine-Year-Old Danielle's hand as they walked to the elevators. "Let's get you down now."
"Did anyone understand that song?" asked Lilith, staring at everyone. "Besides the parts in English, the rest were odd."
"I did. That was Japanese," replied Collector, looking at Lilith. "Now get me out of this memory. I want to feel actual ground."
"But the…" said Amity, only to see the elevators open. "Never mind, looks like we can leave now."
"What I want to know is how they have a little food shop up this high," said Gus, as they leave the memory.
"Okay, what memory should we go in next?" asked Willow, seeing a holiday memory. "Ooh, this one is nice."
"Ugh," thought Eda, following everyone in the memory.
"Cookies!" said King and Collector, seeing a plate of freshly baked cookies.
"This must be Danielle's house," said Amity, looking at the festive atmosphere of the house. "It's cozy."
"It's Christmas, it's Christmas," sang a Four-Year-Old Danielle, hopping down the stairs in her pajamas before picking up Skye who was a little kitten at this point. "Come on Skye. Let's see what Santa brought us."
"Danielle, slow down," said Danielle's Dad, holding a cup of coffee as Danielle sat near the Christmas tree. "Those presents aren't going anywhere."
"Oh, my goodness," said Eda and Lilith, staring at the Four-Year-Old Danielle. "Look how adorable she is."
"Can I open one present before breakfast?" asked Four-Year-Old Danielle, being cutesy as she swings her arms about.
"Just one sweetie," said Danielle's Mom, leaning against the entrance between the living room and the kitchen. "The pancakes won't eat themselves."
"Yes!" said Four-Year-Old Danielle, looking at each present before settling on one and slowly opening it. "Here, Skye."
"Aaw," said Danielle's Mom, seeing Four-Year-Old Danielle place the ribbon from the present on Sky's head.
"It's a woobie! I got a woobie! And it's purple! Yay!" said Four-Year-Old Danielle, taking the blanket out of the packaging.
"No sweetie, that's a blanket…" said Danielle's Mom, before looking at her husband who whistled as he turned away. "Jacob, don't tell me…"
"What can I say Aria," said Danielle's Dad, chuckling slightly. "She's heard me call a certain blanket of mine that since she was a baby and she's been wanting one."
"Lady Asteria," said Collector, looking at Danielle's Mom. "Oh, I see. She's blending in with the humans."
Aria was a tall woman at the height of five foot nine inches. Had knee length silvery white hair, light purplish pink eyes and porcelain like skin. Was wearing a blue sweater over a long light pink dress. Jacob stood around her height. Had dark brown shoulder length hair and dark blue eyes. Was wearing a long sleeve green sweater and gray pants. Both were barefooted at the moment.
"Oh no. Oh no no no," thought Eda, recognizing Danielle's Mom. "That's Danielle's mom. This is not good, this is really not good."
"Ew, it needs a bath," said Four-Year-Old Danielle, taking her blanket out of the packaging.
"I wonder what's in this room?" asked Gus, opening a door to a room near the stairs.
"Oh, this memory is linked to this day," said Collector, looking at the door and seeing a memory. "Some memories are like these as closed doors will just put you in a different area of that day."
"Doesn't look good," said Eda, seeing that an argument was going on in another house.
"Alexander!" shouted an Elderly Man, approaching a Teen Boy and his friend. "What is the meaning of this?"
"This is my boyfriend Grampa," said Alexander, staring at his Grampa. "I invited him for the holiday."
"No! I will not have this in the family," said Grampa Hopkins, glaring at Alexander's boyfriend. "This… this is not a woman, this is man. Men do not get together with other men."
"Well, he's a ray of sunshine," said Eda, watching the argument escalate. "Not someone who should ever come to our realm."
"Mom, Grampa is scaring me," said Four-Year-Old Danielle, clinging to her Mom's dress.
"Come here little star," said Aria, picking Four-Year-Old Danielle up. "Let's get you away from such a scene."
"GET OUT!" shouted Grampa Hopkins, swinging his cane at Alexander's boyfriend. "I won't have stain… no, sin in this family."
"Okay, time to leave this memory," said Eda, getting everyone out of the memory.
"I don't think I ever want to meet him," said Willow, shivering at what she saw.
"Hey, why are some of the trees dull in color?" asked Gus, seeing trees that looked different from all the others as they walked by them. "And with a slight sparkliness."
"Suppressed memories," replied Collector, looking at the trees. "Ones done by magic."
"Okay, we're done memory hopping," said Eda, walking ahead of everyone. "Now let's find that Voice. Will you guys… ugh…"
"Oh, this is interesting," said Lilith, entering the memory as she sees a Four-Year-Old Danielle hopping around on her bed to a song.
"Hehehaha," giggled Four-Year-Old Danielle, as she did the chicken dance on her bed while hopping about to a song.
"Just look at my little star dance," said Aria, clapping along.
"Better this than Baby Beluga," said Jacob, laying on the loveseat as he sees his daughter having fun.
"That looks fun," said Collector, as he and King run over to the bed and mimic the dance alongside the Four-Year-Old Danielle.
"We're not going to get them out of here till the song is over," said Eda, waiting for the song to end before grabbing Collector and King before leaving the memory.
"Just a few more," said King, hopping into another memory.
"King," said Eda, going after King into the memory.
"Hi there," said a Six-Year-Old Danielle, looking at a Baby King in the forest. "Who are you?"
"Weh?" said Baby King, staring at Danielle innocently.
"You hungry? Here," said Six-Year-Old Danielle, holding out a bowl full of fruits. "Want some?"
"Weh," said Baby King, looking at the bowl of fruits before eating it. "Weh!"
"King," said Eda, staring at King. "What were you doing in the Human Realm that day?"
"I… uh… think you left the Portal Door open that day," replied King, scratching his cheek. "And I may have… scampered through… hehehe."
"Danielle, sweetie, you know you shouldn't be back here alone," said Aria, walking over to Six-Year-Old Danielle before seeing Baby King. "Oh my."
"Can we keep him?" asked Six-Year-Old Danielle, looking at her mom. "I'll take good care of him like Skye."
"Uh no," replied Aria, scooping up Baby King and heading in a certain direction. "Go back to the house sweetie. This little one shouldn't be here, I'll be taking him back."
"Okay," said Six-Year-Old Danielle, before running over and hugging Baby King. "Bye, take care, be safe."
"Weh," said Baby King, hugging Six-Year-Old Danielle back.
"And now we leave," said Eda, picking King up and leaving the memory before seeing every one else enter another memory. "What?!"
"Ooohoohoohoo!" said King, going into the memory with Eda. "Where are we?"
"Looks like a shopping center," said Eda, looking around the Gravesfield Mall.
"Oh, Eda," said Lilith, seeing Eda and King. "We just got a little curious with this memory."
"Why I need clothes?" asked Three-Year-Old Danielle, holding her Mom's and Dad's hand.
"Because you're out growing the ones you have," replied Aria, looking at her daughter.
"Can't I just get toy?" asked Three-Year-Old Danielle, staring at her parents.
"Maybe," replied Jacob, before looking at the map of the mall. "Okay, the store we need is…"
"Huh…" said Three-Year-Old Danielle, walking away slightly and staring at the escalators.
"Why is the scenery darkening?" asked Amity, seeing the memory darken.
"Oh, this is an onset of a fear," replied Collector, looking around the memory.
"Aaaaaaaaah!" screamed Three-Year-Old Danielle, seeing the top of the escalator opening its mouth.
"So loud," said Collector, covering his ears as well as everyone else.
"Danielle, inside voice," said Jacob, before having to pick up Three-Year-Old Danielle as she ran towards him.
"It's going to eat me, it's going to eat me," shouted Danielle, clinging and sobbing into her dad's shirt.
"What's going to eat you?" asked Aria, soothingly rubbing her daughter's back.
"The stairs, the moving stairs," replied Danielle, pointing at the escalator before seeing an elderly woman walk towards the escalator. "Wait, Ms. Granny. Don't, the stairs… … it ate her."
"Calm down, sweet pea. Calm down," said Jacob, rubbing his daughter's back as she cried. "It's not going to eat you."
"Come on, we'll show you," said Aria, as they walk towards the escalator.
"No no no," said Three-Year-Old Danielle, scared as they got close to the escalator. "Mom!"
"Whoa there sweet pea," said Jacob, as Danielle crawled out of his hold and into Aria's arm as he got on the escalator.
"No!" shouted Three-Year-Old Danielle, watching her dad go up. "Dad! It ate dad! Wait, no!"
"This is going to take a while," said Aria, holding her daughter close.
"That was kinda cute," said Eda, exiting the memory with everyone else. "Okay now, let's… oh, come on."
"I wonder what this one holds," said Lilith, climbing into a memory. "Why is there a haze around the edges?"
"She's sleeping," replied Collector, seeing an Eight-Year-Old Danielle in bed. "That and someone is probably visiting her on this plane."
"Danielle, my little star," said Aria, bending down near her daughter and gently rubbing her head. "I'm so sorry."
"Mmm… mom," said Eight-Year-Old Danielle, rubbing her eyes and looking at her mom. "Mom."
"That's the Lady Asteria I know," thought Collector, seeing the markings on Aria.
Sky blue markings adorned Aria's body. Sky blue swirls were on her forehead with a small four-point star in the center. In the center of her chest, near her sternum was a sky-blue crescent moon with a star within it. Both her hands were a sparkly sky blue, with the right having swirls extending all the way up to her upper arm. Her attire was different as well. A light glittery pink dress that touched the floor, with a long white shawl that billowed around her. She still wore her gold wedding band.
"I need you to be brave and strong here, sweetie," said Aria, gently rubbing her daughter's head. "When you wake up, I won't be here anymore."
"Why?" asked Eight-Year-Old Danielle, sleepily looking at her mom.
"Something has come up," replied Aria, tears in the corners of her eyes. "I'm doing this to protect you and your dad. But know this, I will always love you, no matter what happens."
"Please, don't leave," said Eight-Year-Old Danielle, gingerly grabbing her mom's hand.
"I'm sorry sweetie," said Aria, pulling her daughter in to a hug. "I'll always be watching over you, my little star."
"No, wait," said Danielle, waking up fully and having her hand extended. "Mom."
"The haze is gone," said Amity, looking around. "I guess, that dream is over."
"Where's she going?" asked Willow, seeing Danielle getting up and heading downstairs.
"Who-whose there… Dad," said Eight-Year-Old Danielle, seeing her dad injured and slumping to the floor. "Dad."
"Danielle, sweet pea," said Jacob, staring at his daughter while holding his shoulder. "What are you doing up? You should be asleep."
"I had a strange dream," replied Eight-Year-Old Danielle, gripping her nightgown. "Mom said she was leaving."
"Oh, sweet pea," said Jacob, staring at his daughter.
"Dad, where's mom?" asked Eight-Year-Old Danielle, looking at her dad. "She didn't really leave, did she? Please, tell me she didn't."
"Come here, sweet pea," said Jacob, pulling Eight-Year-Old Danielle into a hug. "I'm afraid to stay that it is true. Your mom is no longer here."
"Why?" cried Eight-Year-Old Danielle, clinging to her dad. "Why'd she leave? Aren't I… being a good daughter? Did she leave because I was bad?"
"No sweet pea. You're a good daughter. Don't ever say you're bad," said Jacob, letting Eight-Year-Old Danielle cry into him. "Don't worry. Dad is here to protect, I'll always protect, to my last breath."
"Shit, that was her dad that day," thought Eda, leaving the memory before pacing around. "Oh man, what have I done?"
"Eda," said Lilith, exiting the memory with everyone else. "Is everything okay?"
"Oh yeah, everything is fine," said Eda, nervously chuckling as she lied. "How bout one more memory. This one looks nice."
"Whoo-hoo," said Gus, jumping into the memory with everyone else.
"Eda, what are you hiding?" thought Lilith, as she watches her sister enter the memory before she does. "Oh, another memory in winter."
"There isn't any cookies in this one," said Collector, as he sees a lesser decorated living room than the last wintry memory.
"Yes, mom is back, mom is back," said Eight-Year-Old Danielle, walking down the stairs. "Santa brought Mom back… huh… where's Mom?"
"This can't be good," said Willow, seeing Eight-Year-Old Danielle's eyes go blank before tearing up.
"Mom, where are you?" cried Eight-Year-Old Danielle, holding back her cries. "I don't want clothes, I don't want toys. I don't want anything for Christmas but my Mom."
The scenery around everyone goes white with an Eight-Year-Old Danielle crying her heart out. Jacob walks over to his daughter before pulling her into a hug. The memory ends as everyone is ejected out.
"I-I think that may have been a turning point for Danielle," said Eda, staring at the memory in the tree. "That may be the reason why she is the way she is right now."
"I don't think I want to see any more memories," said King, looking at Eda. "Let's find this Voice so we can leave."
"Agreed," said Eda, before seeing a white butterfly flying around. "Is it…"
"I think it wants us to follow it," said Amity, running after the white butterfly.
"How is it so fast?" asked Gus, running alongside everyone else.
"Is that a pond?" asked Willow, spotting the white butterfly fluttering over said pond.
"Wait," said King, looking at the pond. "We're not supposed to dive, are we?"
"Looks like it," said Collector, jumping into the pond. "Cannonball!"
"Aw man," said King, before jumping in as well as everyone else.
Diving under the water, everyone starts swimming. The white butterfly guides them as they take many twists and turns. The moment they got closer to their destination, it felt like the direction went from down to up. Breaking the surface, everyone looks around and sees the normal kind of forest seen in the Human Realm. Trees with green leaves and green grass. Climbing out of the pond, everyone continues to follow the white butterfly until they see a house.
"Why is here a house here?" asked Eda, before knocking on the door.
"I don't know," replied Collector, confused.
"Think this is where the Voice is?" asked King, trying to peer in the window.
"Come in," said a Feminine Voice, inside the house.
"Oh, this is definitely the Voice," said Eda, opening the front door. "Alright, we got a lot of questions… … for you."
Standing before everyone was a young fourteen-year-old girl. She had russet brown hair, hazel green eyes, and fair skin. Attire was a sleeveless gray shirt with a red flower design and denim shorts.
"Hi there," said the Young Girl, shyly waving at everyone.
"You're… you're the voice Danielle hears," said Eda, pointing at the Young Girl.
"Yeah," said the Young Girl, weakly as she looks at the ground nervously.
"Who are you and why do you know these things on what happens?" asked King, walking close to the Young Girl.
"Oh my, you're a lot more cuter in real life," said the Young Girl, wanting to pet King. "No, wait… you came for answers."
"Yeah, we did," said Eda, staring at the Young Girl. "Now, are we going to get them?"
"Yeah, you will," said the Young Girl, grabbing a tv remote and turning the television on. "Here, this explains how I know what transpired but… I won't let it go further than the first season."
"Wait, what are you…" said Eda, only to see a cartoon come on. "What the?"
As the show is shown, everyone is gob smacked at what they see. The show depicted their realm and what was to transpire. And Danielle wasn't in it, someone by the name of Luz Noceda was the main human character. Episode after episode is shown and everyone is transfixed with the show as episode nineteen ends.
"I have to give this Dana Terrace credit," said Eda, seeing the tv paused. "She made us look good."
"So… our realm is make believe where you're from," said Lilith, eyeing the Young Girl. "Why won't you show us the remainder?"
"Cause I'm afraid now," replied the Young Girl, pulling her legs in.
"Afraid?" said Willow, looking at the Young Girl. "Why?"
"Hey, what's this for?" asked Collector, playing around with a game console.
"That's a game console," replied the Young Girl, looking at Collector. "The game I was playing was depicting the show, I-I-I thought it was just a game at the beginning but…"
"Something happened," said Eda, looking at the Young Girl. "What happened?"
"It flickered to real life during the fight between you two," said the Young Girl, staring at Eda and Lilith. "And the MC's voice got angry at me for thinking that what was happening was a game and such. I got scared when I realized it wasn't and that I…"
"You what?" asked Eda, staring at the Young Girl.
"That I actually died," replied the Young Girl, curling in on herself.
"What?" shouted everyone except Collector, staring at the Young Girl.
"Ever heard of reincarnation," said the Young Girl, looking at everyone. "Well, apparently Danielle is who I reincarnated as."
"But then…" said Gus, confused. "That pond…"
"Was to dive down deeper to me," said the Young Girl, looking at Gus. "And there is another one here to go to who I was before."
"One mystery solved," said Eda, pinching the bridge of her nose. "But what's your name unless you want to be known forever as the Voice."
"Uh, no," said the Young Girl, looking at Eda, not noticing Amity turn the tv back on and watching certain clips. "We actually share the same first name."
"You're kidding," said Eda, looking at the Young Girl.
"No, I'm not," said the Young Girl, twiddling her index fingers. "I don't remember much when I passed on but I remember hearing a voice asking for my name and saying they would honor it by giving it to their newborn should it be a girl. If it helps, just call me Danny, it's my nickname."
"So much easier," said King, looking at Danny. "So, I bet my history was in the show, I would like to see it."
"Uh…" said Danny, looking at King nervously. "Let me just say this, that episode made me teary eyed, okay. Other than that, the third season was cut short to three episodes so a lot of fans took the chance to come up with their own theories on certain areas of the show."
"Like what?" asked Willow, looking at Danny.
"Well, I always imagined that Collector's actual name as either Yue or Aster," said Danny, lightly smiling with a small chuckle. "Hehehe."
"What!?" squeaked Collector, staring at Danny.
"Are those not it?" asked Danny, looking at Collector. "You kinda were my favorite character and the reason I watched the show to begin with."
"I was? Awesome!" said Collector, jumping around on the couch. "Also not commenting on the name except Yue is definitely not one of them."
"Then Aster?" asked Danny, looking at Collector.
"Withholding," replied Collector, not wanting to say it.
"How bout we just leave now," said Amity, standing up and holding herself back.
"Well, we got some of our answers," said Eda, standing up. "But I would like to know what happens…"
"Look I'm scared that things may change into a bad light if you were to know what transpires after," said Danny, rubbing her arm. "It really was nice meeting all of you."
"Let's leave already," said Amity, clenching her hands into fists.
"Alright Boots," said Eda, looking at Amity. "Geez, you're impatient."
"Do we have to go swimming again?" asked King, looking at Danny.
"No," replied Danny, looking at King. "You can leave the same way you entered Danielle's mind. Just one thing."
"What is it?" asked Eda, staring at Danny.
"I'd… like to get a… little cuddle in with Collector and King," replied Danny, starry eyed as she looks at Collector and King. "Please."
"What?!" said Collector and King, stepping back a little. "Aw man."
"Hehehehe," said Danny, gently holding Collector and King, a wide smile on her face, in pure bliss. "Oooo yeah, every fan would kill for this. Your fur is so soft King."
"Okay, cuddle time over," said King, jumping out of Danny's arms alongside Collector. "Let's go."
"Bye," said Danny, waving bye as everyone leaves back to the Owl House. "I hope the battle against Belos ends in your favor."
"Ow!" said everyone, landing in the living room in a heap.
"I'm afraid to ask which memories you saw," said Danielle, holding her head. "Were you able to find the Voice and get answers?"
"We got a lot to tell you," said Eda, brushing her hair back.
"Well, I got something to say," said Danielle, holding her head. "No more than two the next time and the times after. My head is killing me."
"You shouldn't be here," said Amity, in a low voice.
"Amity, I didn't hear you," said Danielle, looking at Amity. "Could you speak up please?"
"You shouldn't be here," shouted Amity, lunging at Danielle and pinning her to the floor. "You shouldn't be here. It was supposed to be her."
"Amity, get off me," screamed Danielle, as Amity tries to strangle her. "What is wrong with you?"
"Amity!" said Willow and Gus, staring at Amity.
"Boots!" shouted Eda, only to be stopped by an abomination. "Let her go."
"She isn't suppose to be here," shouted Amity, strangling Danielle. "It should be my batata, my Batata!"
"What are you talking about?" asked Danielle, pulling Amity's hands away.
"Wait, did you watch…" said Eda, staring at Amity as she slashed away the abomination.
"I saw clips. It should be Luz here," said Amity, angry. "I should have fallen for her not you. Bring her back! Give me back my Luz!"
"Amity!" shouted Lilith, getting past the other abominations and pulling Amity off of Danielle.
"Danielle!" shouted King and Hooty, checking on Danielle as she coughed.
"What are you doing?" shouted Amity, staring at King. "She's not the one who should be your big sister. Luz is, not her."
"Leave now," said Eda, pointing at the front door.
"And let her stay here?!" shouted Amity, glaring at Eda. "I don't think so."
"What's going on?" asked Danielle, clutching her chest and breathing heavy. "I don't… I don't understand."
"I said LEAVE!" shouted Eda, as feathers sprout over her body.
"Fine," said Amity, getting out of Lilith's hold and walking to the front door. "Fair warning Danielle, I will be attacking you like the rest of the students and teachers that attack you. We are no longer friends."
"Huh… what…" said Danielle, confused as she cringes in pain. "I don't… I don't… explode… exploding…"
"Danielle," said Hooty, coiling around Danielle as Amity had finally left the Owl House. "Uh, Eda…"
"What a day this has been," said Eda, before looking at Willow and Gus. "And what about you two?"
"We have a lot to think about," replied Willow, as Gus nods in agreement.
"Don't tell me… you don't want to be friends any more with me," said Danielle, staring at Willow and Gus. "Do you?"
"We, um, we have to go," said Gus, walking to the front door. "We have to think."
"About what?" asked Collector, staring at Willow and Gus angrily. "You're supposed to be friends."
"Maybe Danielle should be homeschooled," said Lilith, watching Willow and Gus leave the Owl House. "For now, at least until Amity cools down."
"Uh guys," said Hooty, gaining everyone's attention. "Daniell needs help."
"Exploding… exploding…" said Danielle, clutching her chest as some blood trickles out of her mouth.
"Danielle!" said Eda, bending down near Danielle before looking at Collector. "Okay, you say she's a part of your race, how do we help her?"
"She's only half," replied Collector, looking at Eda. "Her celestial nature is much stronger and overriding her human one. There's nothing to do but let it take over."
"But does that mean Danielle will no longer be human when it's done?" asked King, staring at Collector.
"She'll be a full immortal celestial with no human left," replied Collector, looking at everyone. "The exploding feeling she's feeling is much like a Big Bang. I don't know much when it comes to half celestial but my race can get together with humans, witches, demis or any that are close to our appearance. But it's extremely rare if unheard of for my race to really get together with anyone outside our own race."
"Mom… Dad…" said Danielle, before passing out on top of Hooty.
