"Odwin! Wake up!"
"*yawn* is it morning already?" said Odwin rubbing his eyes as he gradually woke up, then he saw the it was indeed morning and that Amity was in his room
"Yes, Odwin, it's morning, wake up, we have to go to school" said Amity calmly as she entered the room "you really need to stop staying up so late"
"But night experiments are the best" said Odwin half asleep
"Anything that can get us in trouble with mom is never the best" said Amity calmly as she headed out of Odwin's room "don't forget your contacts, i don't want mom to scold you for that again"
"Putting them on right now" said Odwin as he picked up his contacts that were next to his bed
With bright blue eyes turned golden, Odwin got out of bed and used magic to change clothes before leaving his room and heading to a bathroom that was empty
One of the only good things about being a blight, more than one bathroom
After getting everything done, he went to the kitchen and packed some food for school, storing it away for later with magic
He and Amity liked to skip breakfast whenever possible, any excuse to stay away from their family, even if it was for a just a small bit longer
"You didn't forget anything, right?" Asked Amity raising a brow, she was wearing her Hexside abomination track uniform and her abomination cauldron was next to her
"The school has all the stuff i need" said Odwin with a smile, he was wearing his oracle track Hexside uniform "Let's go"
"Right" said Amity before pushing the cauldron forwards
The two took their time with their walk to school, they weren't in any hurry at all
"So, did anything interesting happen with your nightly experiments yesterday?" Asked Amity with a smile
"Not really, just some minor spells here and there" said Odwin shrugging "anything happened with you?"
"Same old" said Amity smiling "Wanna do some mini duels after school today?"
"Ooh! Yes! It's gonna be so fun!" Said Odwin happily
Amity giggled at her brother's reaction
"You always get so excited about it, even after all this time" said Amity smiling
"You know me sis, put magic on anything and I'll get excited" said Odwin happily
"You'r_"
Amity couldn't finish her sentence before she and Odwin heard a familiar voice
It was Willow. The twins saw her encouraging herself and got ready
Due to their mom, the two couldn't be nice to Willow, if it got to to Odalia, someone would be toast
And they didn't want that someone to be one of them, so
"Hello Willow" said Amity expressionlessly
"hi Amity" said Willow frowning
"Shouldn't you be heading to class early to get your_" said Amity calmly, then Willow's abomination cauldron shook before falling over to reveal...a disappointment of an abomination "Willow, stop already. You have no place in the abomination coven, this is why you're called half a witch, stop embarrassing yourself and change tracks already"
Amity, with the help of Odwin, came up with a way to try and help Willow without being nice to her, it was being harsh with advice
Anyone who saw the interaction would think that Amity was bullying Willow. sadly, Willow was one of those anyone
But Odwin wasn't paying much attention to his sister's conversation, he zoned out completely
He was only paying attention to the thoughts of the person watching Willow and his sister
'Witch drama!' Odwin heard
"i forgot all about Luz" whispered Odwin to himself as he thought about how he should tackle the situation with Luz
Then he was snapped back to reality by Amity
"Odwin! Come on, we need to go" said Amity calmly
"Rrright" said Odwin shaking his head "let's go"
And thus, they went to Hexside, leaving Willow and a certain human behind
_-_-_
"How do i deal with this?" Said Odwin with a hand on his chin as he walked through tha halls of Hexside
"Is there something wrong, Odwin?" Asked Amity in confusion as she stared at Odwin's expression
"Nah, i shouldn't worry about it, it'll all be fine in the end" said Odwin waving off the issue "well, Amity, gotta get to class, see ya"
"See ya" said Amity smiling as she pushed her cart to class
Odwin then headed towards his class, but then he heard music
Magical music, played on a violin
Odwin, being the magic nerd he was, followed the music it's source without thinking
It was an empty room, with only one person inside
"Shoot, i messed up" said Odwin as he saw the person playing the music
It was Skara, playing the violin
Hailed as prodigy in bard magic, a master of any instrument with strings (harp, guitar, Violin etc), Skara was an incredible witch
Odwin knew he had a hand in turning her into this since he didn't recall much about her in the show
Another piece of evidence that supported the idea was that Skara...
"You!" Said Skara angrily as she stopped playing "What are you doing here!"
"Listening?" Odwin blurted out without thinking before dodging a magical shockwave from Skara "Hey, you could've hurt me with that one!"
...absolutely despised him
"I think we both know that isn't true" said Skara frowning while narrowing her eyes
"Yeah, i would've dodged" said Odwin avoiding eye contact as he dodged another attack
"Leave! Now!" Said Skara angrily with a scowl on her face
"Ok, ok" said Odwin as he left the room "just stop attacking me"
Odwin had to dodge another attack before he was able to escape
Skara grumbled angrily before she began to play the violin again
_-_-_
After escaping Skara's attacks, Odwin made it to the oracle classroom without any trouble
The teacher always started slightly late anyway
Odwin sat down and the teacher, who had several fortune telling tools lined up on his desk next to a stack of papers, began speaking
"Hello class, i hope you all had a pleasant morning, because today we'll be testing your progress in fortune telling" said the teacher with a stoic expression as they pulled out an apple to show the class "Tonight, something will happen to this apple, your task is to come forward and attempt to predict the outcome, you may use any tool you wish from my desk, you will be writing your answers on these papers i prepared for you, the closer your prediction is to the truth, the better"
Then, a short orange skinned demon raised his hand, the teacher turned to the student who spoke right after
"Will you be eating it?" He asked
"How about you come forward and try to look into it yourself?" Said the teacher calmly
The student got out of their seat and walked towards the teacher's desk
He picked tea leaves as his tool, and shortly after, he took a piece of paper from the stack and wrote his prediction
"Now, Selene, you're next" said the teacher calmly with his ever present stoic face
A demon girl with a cresent moon like head and long sleeved walked forwards to the teacher's desk and did her prediction
This went on for a while before it was Odwin's turn
"Aahh, Odwin, my best student, i look forward to your prediction" said the teacher with a small smile
Odwin already knew what the answer was, mind reading was pretty useful after all, but he had to explain some things if he just wrote the answer
Besides, more magic to do is always appreciated!
So Odwin picked the crystal ball as his tool, it wasn't one of his self-made ones which were much better than school ones, but it'll have to do
"Now let's begin" whispered Odwin as he held the orb
A purple oracle spirit soon appeared from the orb
Odwin channeled his magic into the orb and the spirit started whispering into Odwin's ear, soon after, Odwin put down the orb back on the teacher's desk and worte his answer
The tricky part about using oracle spirits was that they tell outcomes, nothing else
They'll tell you 'you will get hurt soon' but not, why, where or how you get hurt, that's why Odwin liked his own crystal balls more
The teacher immediately checked Odwin's answer, a smile crept unto their face
Odwin went back to his seat calmly, and waited for the class to end
At the end of the class, the teacher told everyone how accurate their predictions were, and Odwin was the top oracle student as always
And soon after, it was lunchtime
_-_-_
"I swear Odwin! That thing was not an abomination" said Amity in frustration as she and Odwin walked to the school cafeteria
"I already know, Amity" said Odwin smiling "But i don't think my words would mean much to the teachers"
"Ugh, i lost the top student spot because of that... thing! mom's gonna kill me!" Said Amity covering her face with her hands
"We can try to convince your teacher not to tell mom after we tell him about the fake abomination" said Odwin raising a brow
"*sigh* I just can't believe i got cheated out of the top spot, by Willow no less!" Said Amity grumpily as she and Odwin finally made it to the cafeteria
"Calm down, Amity, you don't tend to think things through when you're angry" said Odwin calmly as he and Amity sat down at a table with their food
"Says the guy who gets distracted by a light spell" said Amity frowning
"Hey! I do n-oooh" said Odwin frowning before Amity used the light spell, distracting Odwin entirely until Amity got rid of the glowing orb "...it's just so interesting"
"*sigh* Sorry, I'm just so frustrated" said Amity as she stared at Willow "just look at them, it's just so_that thing ate a sandwich! Nope! I'm done with this!"
"Amity, calm dow-she already left" said Odwin before following his sister
Amity made it to Willow and Augustus's table and spoke
"Okay, i saw that, Abominations don't eat! Admit you cheated, Willow, or else" said Amity angrily
Willow laughed nervously under Amity's piercing glare, Odwin saw that and cringed a little before deciding to intervene before any teacher could
"Amity, calm down, this isn't gonna lead anywhere" said Odwin trying to get his sister to stop
"But this_"
"There are better things to do than this" said Odwin before leaning in to whisper into Amity's ear "Tell the principal, he'll help"
Amity stared silently at her twin for a few seconds before sighing, then she just walked away after glaring at Willow
"And that should be that" said Odwin, satisfied
"Why are you helping me?" Asked Willow in confusion
"You'll see later" said Odwin with a cheeky look before he started walking away "See you then, Willow park, Augustus porter...Luz Noceda"
Then Odwin left to catch up with Amity, and then when no one was around, he squealed happily
"Did i look cool? I hope i looked cool, please tell me i looked cool, i always wanted to do that" said Odwin before squealing again "oh, right, better catch up with Amity"
But he was stopped by someone on the way to the principal's office, it was Skara
"Are you...heading to the principal's office?" Asked Skara in confusion
"I'm not in trouble, I'm getting someone else in trouble" said Odwin calmly
"Oh, you're finally revealing how terrible you are?" Asked Skara glaring at Odwin
"No...they stole my sister's place as top student by cheating" said Odwin raising a brow "Why do you hate me so much?"
"None of your business"
"...really?"
"Forget i said that, and I'm coming with you to make sure you're telling the truth" said Skara narrowing her eyes
"Suit yourself" said Odwin shrugging
The two then headed to the principal's office where Amity already convinced the principal to check Willow's abomination
"Told you" said Odwin smiling
"I'm still coming with to see for myself" said Skara angrily
"What's going on?" Asked Amity in confusion
"Ignore her, let's go" said Odwin, frowning
Then they made it to the abomination classroom where Willow and her abomination were
Odwin didn't do much after, he just watched as Amity and Bump tried to catch Luz but failing
He knew this was gonna happen, and was ready to help Luz if that wasn't the case
Odwin had to stop Skara from interfering though, he didn't want her to mess things up
Skara, knowing that Odwin wouldn't be a jerk to Amity, decided to not do anything
And after everything was over, Odwin approached Amity
"Odwin! Why didn't you help! We could've caught that together!" Said Amity angrily
"Bump was gonna kill her, Amity, would it be okay with you if i got dissected because i helped you on a test?" Said Odwin patting Amity on the back "Besides, her death wouldn't have made any difference with mom"
"*sigh* you're right, i guess was too angry to think it through" said Amity before glancing at Willow
She saw Bump giving Willow the choice to change tracks, she saw Willow accepting
But before Amity could get angry, Odwin spoke
"Think it through this time"
Amity stopped in her tracks for a few seconds, thinking about what she should do, then she approached Willow
"All this happened because you didn't listen to me, if you just changed tracks like i told you this never would've happened and you wouldn't have needed to cheat" said Amity with a scowl on her face
Willow stared at Amity in confusion before speaking
"Wait, were you actually telling me to change track, just in a really harsh way and not making fun of me?"
Amity didn't answer and turned around to leave, pulling Odwin with her
"I'll try to take some of the blame with mom" said Odwin with a reassuring smile
"Thanks Odwin" said Amity smiling "...how about we do a bigger mini duel today?"
"*gasp* really?" Said Odwin before squealing then happily hugging Amity "Thank you Amity!"
The two made it back home and thankfully, their mother didn't nag them too much about the incident
All in all
it wasn't too awful of a day
_-_-_
This chapter was kinda made to flesh out all the changes in characters Odwin caused
Tell me how i did, leave a review
Toodles.
