Luz's POV:

"Wooooow! why haven't we found this yet?! This is sick!"

We decided to go camping and exploring before I officially move to the Isles and so far its been relaxing, well, Relaxing after my "King-Sinera" party, there was....Alot of drama...

"Luz Be careful. I don't want you to get hurt"

"Awe psshh, Thanks Amity but please, after the whole saving the Isles Fiasco a few years ago i havnt been as clumsy as i used to be, to be honest i think the titan helped me with my walking coordination"

 I stand there proudly as Amity, Willow and Hunter give me a look, okay so i may be a little clumsy but at least i dont create accidental bomb potions anymore

Sadly Gus, Vee or the twins couldn't make it on the trip, Gus had to Teach at the school, so did Ed, Em stayed to help the lab group fix some sigil problems and the lasting effects of Belos's Order and Vee helps all around

"Ooh! Can we go in!? i wanna Explore!"

 Stringbean woke up startled by my yelling and the echo of the cave, she hissed greetings and layed on top my head, The others started to testify but then agreed, We started heading in and walked for a little bit, i used my phone light to seen the in the dark and Stringbean used her tail for some extra light 

 I saw a light on the other side which wasn't so far, Finally we got out pf the cave and the surrounding area was no longer as bright as we saw in the cave, the breeze hit my skin and the air was cold, it was nearly around 46 Degrees by my guess

"Brrr, why is it so cold?"

We hugged each otherand looked around, Shivers went down my back and the wind made it colder than is was, it looked like the place we just left but darker into the day almost to dusk, it seemed as if the world spun for a second like i was dizzy but everything was still, strangly everything looked the same but was different at the same time

"wow...did everyone feel that too?"

 We all nodded and shivered some more, our palisman tried to keep us warm but it was still cold even with the added warmth

"Maybe we got turned around or the tunnel led back here?? Well anyways let's get back to camp-"

crack

"What was that!?"

We all turned around walking back to back with our palisman at hand, ready to blast whatever creature came flying at us, we heard another crack followed with some shuffling

"Who's there!? Come out and we wont hurt you!"

We turned slowly at the sound and a weird but cute creature came out, it looked really fluffy but ran away before i could identitfy it, we calmed down but then foot steps were heard and a tall slim figure came out of the shadows, looked at us and then quickly ran away

"Hey! Wait! Stop!"

We started chasing the person cause- well i dont know why, we hopped onto our palisman and quickly caught up and followed in pursut, we were almost close enough to grab them but they slid to the ground and we were caught in a giant net

the net was tight that we couldnt get loose, waffles, Hunters Palisman helped the others set us free, we made it out but the sound of something familiar like a shotgun stopped me in my tracks

"I wouldn't bother running, even if you get away from us you're either going to freeze to death or get captured by guards"

Suddenly, a huge flame appeared lighting up the woods, There stood two people, One holding what looked to be an old abomination weapon Odalia produced back then and the other with the flame at hand 

"Who the hell are yall and why the freaking Titan are yall out past curfew?! you want your asses to get caught!??"

The one holding the Weapon whispered loudly, they got closer and we stood our ground and finally got faces to the figures, Oddly enough they seemed familiar like ive seen them before

"What do you mean by that? Whats up with trapping us huh??"

 Amity had a stern look but for some reason i felt as if we could trust them, Me and Hunter looked at each other and it looked like we had the same idea, I lowered string bean and stood up right

"Shhhh, they'll hear us"

"Who will?"

"The guards, come on, let's get them out of here and before the scouts come"

I tried not to sound hostile and be quiet like they requested and it seemed to let Amity and Willow know to calm down, We had no other choice but to follow them, this place seems different and theyre the only people who we've seen all day here, and who dont seem to be trying to kill us...i hope

We quickly walked around and followed the trail keeping inside the woods, i saw scouts walk through and we stopped, moving on along the trail it looked like there were a campsite, they instantly stopped and watched the site, i heard the strangers whispering to another and the one who held the flame was quiet but then agreed to something

"Hey guys, we're going to go through that camp and apparently they blocked the way we usually get home while we were out and it's our only way back to our place"

"Are you sure, cant we go around?"

"No, there's guards all along this site, straight through is quicker and plus, we dont want to be late getting back"

We looked at each other while the strangers waited for us comply, there was no other option so we agreed

"Ok, but as once as we get in there you stay at our 6 got it? stay very close and move fast, Understand?"

We nodded letting them know we were on the same page ready to go

"ok, lets go."

we hurried out the bushes crouching, there weren't many guards but most of them were problably sleeping or out scouting, Stringbean and our palisman were hidden away 

We stopped along the side of the tents and sprinted acrossed the open areas, guards were infront of us and we were nearly through, the taller stranger signaled us to wait then them and the other one snuck up behind them and strangled them leaving the laying there

 We ran back in the woods, that camp was big and being quiet isnt my strong suit, being as quiet as we could still be we hurried farther in the trees away from the camp

"Phew...nicely done, now come on we need to hurry, its almost 2200"

we quickly followed right behind them and went along where they lead, Us four discussed whether this was a good idea and just came to the conclusion that it was either this or freeze to death, it got colder by the hour and we had no gear, we left it back at our camp to make it more enjoyable to explore new things

We passed a town that looked like bones burrow, it looked normal but like old bones burrow before the fight...well normal with just a few more scouts and coven guards there, other than that, same ol' town that was under belos's rule...even before the collecter came to play

Hurrying along we walked a few more minutes and made it to what looked to be the owl house but...more recked, Broken down and dingey, there were lights on inside and looked like it was cleaned up

We walked towards it finally feeling the tiredness in my legs, we stuck close to the two strangers but then triggered something and we were swept up in the air, it looked like vines holding us up getting a tight hold on our legs, the front door opened and a figure stood there with a green spell ring around their finger, their glasses reflected the light from inside and had a smirk giving them a scary look
