The Glyph Monado

Ch. 29: Comforting Blight

It happened so fast, Odalia and Amity couldn't register what happened until Odalia screamed in pain while falling to her knees.

"My hand!" She said, looking at her stump as the flesh seemed cauterizing to prevent bleeding.

"It takes about 8 hours to get a limb reattach before it rots. Use that time." Luz said as she turned to the Abomination holding Amity. "Drop. My. Girlfriend. NOW."

The Abomination dropped Amity and Luz grabbed her wrist. They ran out and didn't stop until they were a good distance away.

Luz saw the manor in the distance from the forest they were in before Amity hugged her close, breathing heavily as she was calming down from what happened.

"Hey, hey, it's alright! I got you, it got you." Luz said, hugging Amity back as she leaned against the tree. "Amity, can you tell me what happened? It's alright if you can't."

"My mom, she found out we're dating. I should've seen this coming." Amity said, "How could I not realize that everyone would notice when the resident Human dates the two richest girls on the Isles."

"But she had no right to do that to you! You're her daughter, a mother should protect their child! Not hit them!" Luz said, holding Amity's face gently, "Just look at your eye."

Luz held her hand out and made a small ball of ice. She took off her hoodie, leaving her in t shirt. She wrapped the ice enough that Amity can hold it without freezing her hand but also so that the cold can still reach her eye.

"Here, put this on your eye."

"Thanks." Amity said as she put the ice pack over her eye.

"Come in, let's get to Boscha's." Luz said, wanting to get further away from Blight Manor.

"Okay." Amity said, "T-t-thanks."

"No problem. I'll always be there for you when you need me." Luz said to her.

The two walked in silence, until they made it back to Triplet Manor. During the whole walk, Luz refused to let Amity out of her sight or even let go of her hand.

"Okay, we're here." Luz said.

Amity tightened her grip on Luz's hand.

"Hey, it's alright. You're safe here." Luz said, guiding Amity inside.

No doubt Boscha was back to normal by now and could comfort Amity with Luz to help her calm down faster. They were inside for less than a minute before Boscha tackled them. She refused to let go of them.

"I'm so glad you two are okay!" Boscha said.

Luz giggled at this as she hugged back, looking to see Amity breathing softer as she hugged the triclops as well.

"What the hell happened!?" Boscha asked.

Boscha looked over Amity and saw her bruises, hating how much she had been hurt while she was being ironed and returning to normal.

"Her mom happened, apparently she doesn't like Amity or you probably dating a human." Luz said with a frown.

Boscha pulled out one of her blades and started to get angry.

"I'm going to kill her."

Boscha was ready to march to Blight manor but Luz stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.

"Killing her won't make things better. Besides, I cut off her hand before we left. She probably gets the message." Luz said with a tiny smile.

"Odalia Blight doesn't get a message, she'll try something the second she gets the chance." Boscha said.

"I hate to say it but Boscha is right. Even a cut off hand won't slow her down." Amity said as she continues to press the ice pack on her eye.

"Well, let's just calm down for now." Luz said.

"That's sort of hard to do when my girlfriend was assaulted!" Boscha said.

"Then maybe you can help by letting us in to comfort Amity. And maybe get her a healing patch." Luz said as she gestured to Boscha's house.

Boscha lowered her blade and moved out of the way.

"There's a healing kit upstairs, I'll get it while you calm her down." Boscha said.

Luz nodded to Boscha as she led Amity inside of the manor. Boscha walked up the stairs, filled with anger.

"I can't believe the nerve of that woman, to hurt someone as sweet and caring as Amity."

Odalia Blight always gave off the feeling of a ruthless business woman but you could've at least hoped she cared for her family! Boscha reached the bathroom and grabbed the healing kit. Boscha's anger boiled in her and she punched the mirror, not caring about pain.

'That bitch! If she lays one more hand on either Amity or Luz, her head is gonna roll!' She thought in rage.
