Luz POV

School had finally ended. I was walking to the cafe in the middle of Bonesburow when I saw a lady with gray hair, a golden tooth, and looked to be in her mid-forties. "Hide me, kid!" She yelled. I saw around 10 coven guards following her. I drew a circle and turned her into a three-headed dog. "Did you see a gray-haired old lady coming through here?" One of the coven guards said to me. "Nope, not at all," I said as he walked away.  I turned her back and grabbed her wrist. I walked her to my house and the backyard. I stopped "Who are you? Why were you running from coven guards? And if you lie, I will know." I said with my finger in her face. I knew I could act intimidating if I wanted to but normally I acted like myself. "Uh, I'm a wild witch! I am the most powerful witch ON the Boiling Isles! Eda the Owl Lady!!!" She said posing like an idiot. I laughed then stopped suddenly "Listen here. I will help you for one day, today, and you have to leave me alone, deal?" I said looking her straight in the eyes. "Alright kid," Eda said summoning her staff and flying off before I could say anything else.

I walked inside my house and was hit with a pang of cinnamon. 'This is different  I thought. "Mami! What's that smell?" I asked, trying to find the source of the smell. "I'm making cinnamon crab apples!" She said, coming out of the kitchen. "Cinnamon crab-apples!" I yelled running into the kitchen only to face plant. "Oh, my Mija! Are you alright!?" Mami said rushing to my side. "I'm fine Mami!" I said getting up off the floor. "Mami? Is there a spell where you can see other people's thoughts and memories?" I asked her. "Yes, Mija. Why are you asking this?" She said to me. "I-I was just wondering..." I said now thinking I'm going to have to be careful what I'm thinking. "Alright Mija. Here take a cinnamon crab-apple!" She said handing me my favorite treat. I devoured it in less than ten minutes. "Slow down there Mija!" Mami said laughing. Right when she said that I choked on a pincer. She patted my back and I coughed it up. Once I got the pincer out I ran and grabbed another crab-apple, eating it a little slower than last time. Mami laughed and walked away saying she had things to do. I decided I would go to bed a little earlier tonight.

I'm walking through a field. Its so cold. I look around seeing only blood. I gag as I look down at my hands. They were covered in blood. My dad laid in front of me. He was covered in blood with stab wounds all over her. "You did this. This is all your fault you ungrateful child!" Mami yelled at me. The copper smell of blood surrounded me. I look up at the sky and see a bright light.

I wake up and see I'm in a hospital bed. I launch out of the bed only to collapse to the floor. I groan in pain and see a familiar green haired witch in front of me. She tries to help me up but I wave her off "I can get up on my own..." I said. I picked myself up and stood. My vision started swimming and I fell on the bed. My head hit a hard piece of plastic and I sucked air through my clenched teeth. "Are you okay?" Amity asked me, helping me lay back down the right way. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. BUT MY DAD WHERE IS HE!" I yelled the last part, hopping back out of the bed only to fall again. "Ow." I said rubbing my forehead. Mami rushed into the room and my ears went down as I remembered the nightmare. I broke down crying right there on the floor and Mami ran over to me, holding me in her arms. "?Oh cariño que pasó¿" (Oh honey what happened?) "N-nightmare....*hic* Dad...*hic....Died....*Hic*" I said hiccuping between sobs. "Shh... estás bien ahora..." (You are okay now) She said holding me in her arms. Amity just stood there with a concerned expression. "I have to go cariño... Amity, take care of her while I help this other patient." Mami said turning to Amity. Amity nodded and picked me up and was about to set me back on my bed but I wrapped my arms around her neck and bawled my eyes out. She sat on the bed as I curled up into a ball and cried into her shoulder. I didn't care who saw me cry. Amity rubbed my back in circle motions "Shh..You're alright Luz, take your time..." Amity said. I looked at her face and didn't see one ounce of hatred, only concern.
