"So, what are we gonna do with Ed and Em?" Asked Odwin tiredly as he walked next to Amity with Minerva on his shoulder
Odwin, Amity and Minerva were now heading back to Blight manor from their previous adventure at the library
"I don't know, but i think anything is fine as long as we don't make a mess" replied Amity tiredly
"I guess electrocution is fine" said Odwin with a smile before Minerva chirped tiredly to the answer in approval to which Odwin replied to with an affectionate scratch under the chin.
The three soon made their way back home without trouble, but they knew the real trouble was inside. The twins really hoped that their parents didn't have anything to say about their late arrival. The two opened the door and made their way inside silently. Ed and Em were in the living room, cheerfully browsing through Odwin's illusion magic book. Odwin, deciding to get his book back, snapped his fingers, which made the unreadable letters in the book transform into teeth that nearly bit Edric, scaring him and Emira, before the book flew directly to Odwin's hands.
"Thank you" said Odwin sarcastically as he shut the book in his hand
"Oh, you two are back" said Emira in a disappointed tone only for Amity punch her right in the face with a large abomination fist
"Hey! What was that for?!" Said Edric angrily as he began to draw a magic circle only to stop mid-way when Amity replied
"That's for nearly killing us both at the library!" Replied Amity angrily as she prepared another attack
"I don't think a diary and some books qualify as your lives here" said Emira angrily as she got up from the ground while caressing the place where Amity attacked her
"Not the books, the drawings you left on the Otabin story book. You left the book open" said Odwin as he approached Edric and touched him, electrocuting him
"OW!"
"Me and Luz nearly got stitched into a giant book by Otabin!" Cried Amity in anger "Odwin and Skara almost got sliced in half by the tin boy!"
"And Odwin couldn't just melt tin boy then help you?" Asked Emira with a frown, doubting Amity's words
"I would've" said Odwin trying to be calm before exploding in the next sentence "if you hadn't written indestructible!"
"Wait, that actually made it indestructible?" Asked Edric in surprise which prompted Odwin to nod disapprovingly
"It was an accident, we didn't mean for it to happen" said Emira frowning as she crossed her arms while rolling her eyes
"Still your fault, still nearly killed us" said Amity with a scowl before Minerva chirped in approval
"None of this would've happened if you didn't rat us out to Mom!" Yelled Emira angrily as she stood directly in front of Amity
"You bully us all the time!" yelled Amity angrily
"We don't get Mom involved!" Said Emira
"Yes! because Mom's punishment is much worse than getting sliced in half or getting eternally trapped in a giant book!" said Amity
But before Emira could respond, Odwin stepped in and stopped Amity
"Wait, Amity. Maybe she has a point" said Odwin calmly with a frown "we can't bring Mom into our fights"
Everyone was confused by Odwin's words, but it quickly changed. Emira stared at him skeptically while Amity was about to yell, but then Odwin continued.
"We won't bring Mom into this again, but that means we get to bully you too" said Odwin calmly before his voice became more and more threatening "i wonder how much i can hurt you until you give up"
"What? You're gonna steal our diaries? Drop liquid abominations on our heads?" Scoffed Emira "i think we can avoid anything you can do"
"I doubt it, how do you think i got the number and subject of every class you've ever missed? I know lots of things, Emira...lots of things" said Odwin as he narrowed his eyes before Ed and Em realized the true nature of his threat "but i won't do anything, as long as you don't bully us anymore"
Emira glared at Odwin, but he just turned around taking Amity with him upstairs before sending her a telepathic message
'Amity,...if they come to you wanting to make up for what they did...please give it a chance'
Amity was...confused, but before she could ask her twin anything, he quickly made his way into his room without another word
_-_-_
Amity sat in her room silently, thinking about what Odwin told her. Her brother never says 'if' unless he didn't look into it, meaning he was just hoping for it to happen.
Amity was frustrated by that, how could he still believe they'll get along with Ed and Em. He was even against ratting Ed and Em to their Mom, but eventually he complied to Amity's request. Those two didn't even apologize for what they did.
Amity sighed before flopping unto her bed. She pulled out the Azura book she got from Luz and began reading, but a while later she heard a knock on her door; she didn't answer. Silence took place and a few seconds later, Emira entered the room with Edric.
"What do you want?" Asked Amity tiredly
Emira took a deep breath before speaking "we were jerks to you...we're sorry"
"For almost exposing all my secrets, or nearly killing me and Odwin?" Asked Amity with tired look as she put the Azura book away
"Everything...and we're ready to do anything to make up for it"
Amity went silent, she didn't trust them, she didn't mind reading magic like Odwin so she was stuck between listening to Odwin's words and not believing Ed and Em, but she decided to humor the thought that were willing to do anything
"Does that go for Odwin too?" Asked Amity, knowing how much Ed and Em disliked Odwin
"...about that" said Edric with an awkward smile
"Don't wanna hear it, leave" said Amity not even bothering to look at Ed and Em while saying it
"We'll do anything, even for Odwin, under one condition" said Emira calmly, getting Amity's attention "Odwin leaves the oracle track"
Amity began drawing a magic circle with a disappointed expression, but Emira stopped her
"Just hear me out. If Odwin leaves the oracle track, he'd stop being mom's favorite and mom would treat us all the same way"
"Is that it, you're jealous?"
"Aren't you too?!" Yelled Edric "you can't tell me Mom never nagged you about something Odwin could do that you couldn't"
Amity paused...it was true, Odalia did point out her 'inadequacy compared to her brother' at many occasions; 'Odwin learned to spell a long time ago, what were you doing all this time?!' 'You call that an abomination, look at Odwin's'...it always hurt, ut it wasn't like Odwin wanted this to happen...and it wasn't like Odwin wasn't as strong her mother thought. Odwin knew a lot, that didn't mean he was able to put everything he knew into practice.
"It's not his fault!" Retorted Amity angrily
"But he's hurting all three of us like this!" Replied Emira with a frown
"So what? You're gonna make him miserable because you can't take a few comments from mom?" Said Amity angrily
"He's not gonna remember a thing" said Emira, crossing her arms with a smile on her face
"What?" Asked Amity in confusion and worry
"We're gonna erase it out of his memory!" Said Edric cheerfully
"YOU'LL WHAT?!"
As if on cue, an explosion was heard from Odwin's room. Amity's eyes widened as a thought bubbled through her head
"Please don't tell me you already did it" said Amity as she quickly got up from her bed
The three made their way to Odwin's room in a hurry. Amity knocked on the door
"Odwin! Odwin, are you okay?" Asked Amity worriedly
What came from the other side was...confusing
"Ooooh, weird and floaty!" Said Odwin's voice cheerfully "amma touch him!"
"No! Don't touch him! You could hurt him!" Said Odwin's voice in fear "how about we answer the door instead? A nice and safe activity!"
"Are you dumb?!" Said Odwin's voice angrily "it's obvious his mind is broken! How is touching him gonna do anything?!"
"I'm sorry! I have never seen a witch with a mind this destroyed before!" Said Odwin's voice in fear "i don't know what'll happen"
"Well, time to find out. Boop" said Odwin's voice cheerfully "huh? Kinda expected more to happen"
Amity, Ed and Em decided to open the door to see what is actually going on inside, and it only added more confusion
"What the-" said Emira as she stared at the sight
In Odwin's room, there were 4 people (not counting Minerva): 3 crazy Odwins, an short odd figure that looked as if they were made completely out of darkness but had glowing white orbs for eyes and finally a floating unconscious Odwin with hollow dark eyes
All of them didn't have casts or broken legs
A cheerful Odwin was inspecting the hollow Odwin happily. An angry Odwin was scolding a scared Odwin. The three couldn't even speak
"What an awful development" said the odd dark figure before extending his hand to the three blights with a biscuit "want a biscuit?"
Edric was the first one to snap out of confusion. He decided to talk to the figure
"Uhh, who are you?" He asked in confusion as he took the biscuit
"Hmmm...i don't know" said the figure calmly "i guess i never bothered to remember"
"What is going on?!" Cried Amity in shock and confusion
"Something episode worthy"
_-_-_
I had to cut this chapter in two because it would've been too long otherwise. Though, i do hope people can guess who the dark figure is.
Tell me how i did, leave a review
Toodles.
