The Daily Lives of The Owl Familia: P2:
A Three-Eye Encounter

Summary: Boscha goes to a family member to deliver something, but things are bound to go wrong.

Boscha walked into an alleyway somewhere in Bonesborough, scowling. She walked to the back of the alley and saw a group of her witches. Her eyes landed on someone who strikingly looked like her.

"Hey, Becky," Boscha said emotionlessly. "You got a second."

Becky looked at Boscha with a mocking grin and got up from the trashcan she was sitting on. She walked over to Boscha with an air of arrogance about her, and this caused Boscha's scowl to deepen.

"Well, if it isn't my uptown, baby cousin," The older three-eyed witch said mockingly, stroking Boscha's hair. "What brings you to my neck of the titan."

Boscha brushed her cousin's hand away and looked at her calmly. "Just tell your dads my moms want to talk to them immediately."

With her message delivered, the Hexside student turned to leave. She didn't even take a step when Becky grabbed her by the shoulder.

"You came here just to tell me a message?" the older witch asked smugly. "Yeah, not buying it. One of your moms could have called one of my dads. And I know you know I not besties with either of the old crows."

Keeping her hand on Boscha's shoulder, Becky got in front of her cousin and grabbed her other shoulder.

"No," Becky said calmly, "The only time you look me up is when you like to get something off your chest. So, why not tell your favorite cousin what's in that baby head of yours?"

Boscha stared coldly at her cousin and shook off her arms. She walked around Becky and headed to the alley's mouth.

"I heard an interesting rumor a few nights back," Beck suddenly called smugly.

Boscha kept walking, picking up her pace as she tried to tone out her cousin's voice.

"I heard that my aunts knew about Belos's plans, but that's not even the worst part."

Boscha slowed and shoved her hands into her pockets. She didn't want Becky to see that her taunts were getting to her.

"I heard my aunts planned to take out all of their rivals and take over their businesses." Becky suddenly said. "If that rumor is true, that makes them no better than Odalia!"

Boscha snapped when she heard her cousin say that, and with a roar, she spun around on her feet. She launched herself at Becky, and the older witch simply took half a step to her right and grabbed her cousin's tunic. She pushed her hard while pulling on the piece of clothing.

The fabric ripped right away, causing the younger wich to lose her balance. Boscha stumbled for a second before she regained her balance. With another roar, she threw herself at Becky.

"Take that back!" the Hexside potion student screamed. "My moms would never do anything like that!"

She tried punching Becky, but the older witch took a step back and to her left. Boscha went by Becky, and the older witch wrapped her arm around her cousin's shoulders.

"Take it back!" Boscha screamed, thrashing about to try and break free. "My moms doesn't deserve to be yelled at!"

Beck cocked an eyebrow and sighed a second later. "You yelled at my aunts again, so that's why you're here!"

Boscha growled out a response, too angry to think straight. Becky sighed again and brought her free hand up to rub Boscha's cheek.

Suddenly, Boscha headbutted her cousin. The blow was strong enough that Beck hissed, and her hand jolted, causing her to cut Boscha upon her right eye.

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!" Beck screeched, tossing Boscha to the ground.

The younger witch growled and jumped to her feet, facing her cousin.

"My problem?" Boscha angrily replied. "What's your problem? I just came here to tell you something, and you insult my mothers!"

Becky scoffed and put a hand on her hip. "Oh please, the only time you ever want to see me is when you want to blow off some steam. So why not get a raise out of you when I see you?" She retorted condescendingly.

"Insulting my mothers is going too far!" Boscha snapped.

Becky growled but just sighed and stepped aside.

"You know what?" she said, throwing her arms up. "I'm not in the mood anymore to mess with you! Why don't you just leave? But know this, I'm done dealing with your spoiled attitude. Next time you come around, I'm not going to be nice. Now get going!"

Boscha growled as she watched her cousin point to the end of the alley and then glared at Becky. She got ready for a fight, and Becky sighed when she saw this.

With a roar, Boscha charged at her cousin, intending to let out some of the frustration she had been feeling since her fight with her mothers a few days ago!

(G Corner)

I know it is cheap to end the chapter here, but don't you worry, folks, the fight ended with Boscha getting beat up but nothing serious, as told in Boscha's arch in the "Family that Will Grow Forever" story. Next up is the aftermath of Boscha's first "knocked-down" week. Look forward to it!
