Weirdos Stick Together. Lumity Fanfiction AU. Book 1.5

How Silly. [54]

Friday, February 25th. K

Luz got the rest she needed. Four days ago. Yeah. She's still tired, exhausted even. Amity made a post on her social medias, saying that it was brought to her attention that people where hurting Luz physically and mentally, and told them to stop.

Anyone caught or snitched would face a punishment of telling Luz a joke or giving her a gift. If she laughed or liked the present, you'd be left alone and kept on a lookout. If she didn't react, hates the gift, or cried, you'd be punched in the face by Amity or wounded somewhere by the Blight, then let go and kept an eye on. Too bad Luz snitched Pablo out.

Right after school, Luz was kidnapped and taken to Amity's home. "Listen Mom, just because we broke up doesn't mean I'm not allowed to beat someone up for Luz. You still talk to your ex so leave me be." Amity said, ruffling Luz's hair.

Pablo panicked, taping the side of the paper down, sliding the gift over. "Kids love these-" Pablo blurted out. "I loved these as a kid-"

The gun was cocked, Amity pulling the present over, letting Luz examine it. The witch hesitantly unwrapped the gift, lifting the lid off. She jerked back, falling off her chair, panting quietly. "Jack in the box.." Luz breathed out.

"----."

Amity picked up the gift, closing the box, walking towards Pablo, handing him the gift. "What would you like?"

"..Bloody nose.."

"Good choice." Amity hissed, clenching her fist.

Pablo braced himself, then was knocked out cold with just one hit. Amity went over to Luz, the witch being comforted by the maid who caught Amity with Annabelle. "We do not speak to you." The maid harrumphed, rubbing Luz's back.

Odalia sighed. "Okay. Are you done?"

"There's like two other people, they snitched themselves out." Amity said, taking Luz's hand, pulling her up. "Like I said mom, you can't say anything. Dad already told me the story of you doing this for your ex."

Odalia hesitated. "Fine."

One of the guards left the room, then returned with a girl, Luz hiding behind Amity. "That's Tulip.."

"Gift or joke?" Amity asked.

"..Joke..Can't make her cry that way.." Tulip said softly.

Luz hesitantly went to go sit, Tulip swallowing. "Why was six afraid of seven?"

"Because seven ate nine." Luz blurted out.

Tulip shook her head. "Because it was a six offender."

Luz processed that. "That's not funny.. That's very bad.."

"Wait- One more- This always gets me-"

Amity looked over at Luz, the witch nodding. "Why'd the chicken cross the road?"

"To get to the other side.." Luz said quietly as she recalled the dark truth.

Tulip shook her head. "To get to the idiot's house. Knock knock."

"Who's there?" Luz questioned.

"The chicken."

Amity gave Tulip a death glare, she just called her girlfriend an idiot! Luz giggled. "I like that one. That one's very funny."

Tulip sighed heavily in relief, the guard pulling her up, taking her out of the room, dragging a short male over. "Who's this bozo?" Amity hissed.

"His friends call him Herman." Luz muttered.

"Gift or joke."

"Gift."

Amity nodded towards the corner of the room, Herman getting up and searching the toys. He picked one out, putting it in a box, wrapping it, and going back, sliding it to Luz. The witch carefully unwrapped it, opening the box. The hell is this. Luz frowned, taking out the small ball. "Huh?"

"Squish it." Herman mumbled.

Luz squeezed the ball, creating a very blinding light show. Luz hissed, dropping the ball, rubbing her eyes. No, she wasn't being dramatic. Odalia, Amity, and the maid also hated the blinding ball. Since Luz was the closest to it, her eyes stung, so it was certain she'd have a few years rolling down her cheeks.

Amity pulled her glasses out of her pocket, putting them on, going over to Herman. "Where."

He looked back at Pablo, then up at Amity. "Gut."

The guard pulled his chair back a bit, then Amity kicked him back and down, Herman letting out a groan when he hit the floor. "Right, we're done."

Luz finished moving decorations, cutlery, pots and pans, got some neighbor's oldest son to help move the fridge over, then Luz filled up the Mc.Fresh. Finally, Luz cooked. She made a feast, having to give the extra food to her new neighbors who came back for seconds!

The witch was finally at ease. Hunter helped set up the attic with Luz, then found sticks for the nests. Luz bathed the chickens early, took a bath herself, and relaxed. Til she realized Harold wasn't in the nest. Pierre was sent out with a letter, then he returned with an answer.

Luz unraveled the letter, "I told you I would take Harold. It feels rude to write this, but I know what a pain he is. You need to sleep for eight full hours and I already take naps after work, so I will be okay if Harold wakes up. Don't worry, he'll be safe. -Amity"

"Phew.."

Pierre chirruped, getting in the nest, opening up his wings, the chickens swarming over, taking the hug. Luz laid in her nest, sighing in relief. "Night you guys.."

Yawn..Night Luz..
