Farm AU[Lumity AU]

Chapter Three

Amity's POV

I opened the doors to Luz's room.. looking around.. Then it caught me eye.. A shoe rack.. most of them were worn dirty boots. I walked over and crouched over, picking out the smallest pair. I stand up and put the boots down on the bed frame.. I looked up at the mirror.. Pausing seeing a few Polaroids.. I glanced at the boots before edging over to the mirror...

I stood at the mirror, looking at the pictures.. I grabbed one.. It was a picture of Vee and Luz... Luz was in a hospital bed, a thick wrap of bandages on her leg.. I grabbed a different one, looking at it. This one had a picture of Luz and.. Her dad... Along with her mom. Luz had a cast on her arm, her dad had that same infectious smile, he had bandages on him while Camilla was in the back ground looking with a rather annoyed disappointment..

I looked at a different one, in that picture, she and her sister both had scratches and cuts all over their arms, followed with bandages. Then I noticed another one.. Is was a picture with Luz and her dad.. It was a bandage on her cheek, another cast on the same arm, as the previous one.. And a brace on her back. I tried to study the brace better.

"What are you doing!"

I flinched and looked back at the door. Luz was standing there.

"Luz-"

Luz hurried over snatching her Polaroids, grabbing the ones off the mirror as well before quickly stuffing them in a drawer. She was only a few inches from me.. Then I realized it.. There was a faded scar on her cheek.. In the same spot her bandage in that picture was.

"I told you to grab boots, not snoop through my stuff!"

"I'm sorry! I.. I didn't mean to snoop! I just-"

"You just what! Amity, that's my own stuff, you had no right to look through it!" She snapped.

I sucked in a gulp of air.. "I'm sorry.. I didn't... No... I shouldn't have done that.. I just.. I don't know I couldn't help it.. I just thought It's be a way to I don't know.. Get to know you better. I- It sounds stupid."

Luz paused. "You're fine, next time just ask about me.. Not go snooping."

I nodded. "I will.. Promise..."

I tossed the chicken grain. It hit the ground. The chickens didn't seem interested. "Ugh."

Luz was walking past.. she paused, putting down the sack of feed she was hauling, she closed her eyes tightly for a second, visibly in pain. She then stood up and walked over. She stopped beside me. "Look." She grabbed a handful of grain and ever so gently sprinkled it on ground. "See?"

I grabbed a handful as Luz lead me to the other chicken coop. She cupped her hand around mine, helping me gently sprinkle it.

"Our chickens... Are... Well... Chickens." She chuckled at her pun while I cringed. "So just throwing it frightens them. We're not sure why." She shrugged. "Think you got it."

I nodded. She padded my back before turning away and walking off, picking the sack up, and continued on her way.

I smiled as Luz walked off. I turned back to my job.. Even though the sun was hot, I actually didn't mind being up so early, feeling the chickens... I was focused on my task.. I wondered why Luz had so many scars.. I mean, obviously some were from working the farm. Everyone on the farm were scarred up a bit. I pushed the thought to the back of my mind..
