Reconnect (The Owl House~Boshlow)|On Hiatus|

Shock

Boscha's P.O.V.

I sat on Willow's bed, putting my back against the headboard full of pillows. I had started sketching in my notebook. I originally intended to draw my OC Violet but by the time I finished the sketch I realized I could draw Willow with it. Smiling I sketched out her hair and clothes, every detail came easily. Getting a notification I was tagged on Penstagram, I stopped drawing. Since I planned to finish it later, making a mental note to give it to Willow as a 'thank you' gift, I opened my scroll tapping the notification realizing I was tagged in the comment of a post. It was picture of two of my family guards, one dragging Willow out of the Cafe by her wrist, the other holding off a riot in the background.

"That bitch...." I didn't care to see who tagged me, all I did was stand up and take off towards my family's manor. Leaving Gus in confusion as I passed him to get to the door. After a bit of running I was able to get there in about 10 minutes, with the building merely 50 feet away from me I felt slightly relieved.

"Wait!" A hushed yell came from a boy witch that jumped in front of me. He blocked my way and looked worried. "You remember me don't you?" I stopped focusing on the manor and turned my attention to the boy.

"Connor right?"

"Yes." He sighed trying to put on a reassuring face. "The girl your family took, she's the girl you were talking about yesterday isn't she?" I nodded trying to see where he was getting at. "Well...I overheard my parents speaking to yours about forcing her family business to shut down. They wanted to stop your parents, but your family is too risky for most people to go against. They had to back down and if your girlfriend doesn't cooperate...."

"Things'll only get worse." I groaned smacking my hand into my face. "They always have to meddle with me don't they?" Connor put his hand on my shoulder making me look at his smiling face.

"Hey, if you're brave enough to defend yourself in front of your parents I'm sure as hell you can do anything."

"Yeah that didn't end well though, I lost my house."

"And moved in with your girlfriend right?" Connor eyed me expectedly, where as I could only blush and look away. "That's what I thought, so how should we get her back then?" I looked at the manor trying to remember what room they would keep her in.

"She's probably being held somewhere on the 2nd floor towards the right side of the building, and luckily I happen to know a shortcut." Connor sighed relieved that I knew where to go. We went around the gated entrance avoiding the guards. Walking towards a slim opening in the ground I smiled, recalling how many times I used it to escape this place as a child.

"This is your shortcut?" I looked at Connor standing behind me and shook my head.

"Nah this is just the beginning." He gave me a puzzled look before we crawled inside the hole. Since I last used this when I was probably eight, saying it was a tight squeeze was quite the understatement. By the time we got to the other side Connor and I both had to stop and catch our breath. Now inside the fenced area we walked around more cautiously.

"Hey Boscha." Connor put his hand on my shoulder again wanting to say something. "I just wanna say that I'm impressed by you, you're decision to defend yourself yesterday specifically. Honestly I don't think I could really ever tell my parents about my boyfriend and I." Connor chuckled blushing a bit. "Even though yours seem much harsher than mine." I shrugged since I wasn't entirely thinking in that moment. I probably wouldn't have come out for at least a few more years otherwise.

"And if all else fails we can be married publicly, but date in secret." Connor laughed and stuck his hand towards me.

"Deal." I shook his hand as we approached the right side of the manor. He looked up and down the building then looked at me like this is impossible to get through. I rolled my eyes mindlessly casting a spell causing part on the wall to move leading into a maze of corridors. "What the-!" Connor jumped back in surprise while I was already walking into the dark hallway.
