7. Unable to sleep

The walls were floating in a spiral parten. The floor was full of people.

Dead people.

There was not a clear spot.

A little higher, in a circle, ten people layed down, lifeless.
The nine coven heads. And another one.

Eda.

She was on the ground, in the middle of the circle, alongside Raine.

And, if you would dare to rise your head, you'd find a little kid flying, hugging someone, that someone trying to scape.

King.

He was screaming, scared.

When you could think it couldn't get worse, the image zoomed out and you could see all the Boiling Isles. Or at least, what was left of them.

Everything was broken, displaced or twisted, and everyone, absolutely everyone, was still. Motionless. Possible dead.

"AHHHHH"

Luz scream as she sat up.
She woke up startled, sweating, eyes full open.

All of that was a nightmare. Right? There's no way that was the reality.

No.

King told the Collector they need people to play the owl house. And they need them alive.

So the collector wouldn't have left all the Boiling Isles to die.

It was just a nightmare.

The first nightmare of a lot that will come, Luz though.

The first night on earth she hadn't had nightmares. Or any type of dream.
She was so tired she just passed out until the next morning.

But this night, her second night on earth, she'd had nightmares ever since she fell asleep.

After all this thinking, she looked at her surroundings.
She looked at all her friends, hoping she hadn't waken up anyone.

Thankfully, she hadn't.

So she layed down again, eyes full open, unable to sleep.

Around ten minutes later, Amity started moving in her sleep. She looked agitated, worried, mumbling things Luz couldn't understand.

After a couple more minutes she woke up, startled, disoriented.

She look everywhere, eyes wide open. Confusion could be seen in her face.

Her breathing was fast and loud. So she tried to took some deep breath, managing to start calming herself.

She looked around once again, this time with no confusion. She knew where she was. She remembered all that happened.

All her friends where sleeping, or at least laying still.

She tried to sleep again. But she couldn't. So she chose to get up.

But, not knowing where to go, she just stand there, letting her eyes get use to the absence of light.

Light. Luz.

She moved and placed herself at a side of Luz's bed. The view of her girlfriend, laying still, eyes closed, almost relaxed (almost), calm her a little bit.

But when Amity less expected Luz opened her eyes, startling Amity who nearly screamed.

"Hey hey, it's ok" Luz whispered covering Amity's mouth with one hand so she didn't scream and hugging her with the other.

"Sorry I woke you up" Amity apologized, also whispering, after Luz take her hand out.

"No, no, you didn't wake me up, I was already awake. I just closed my eyes in an attempt to sleep. Don't worry, sweet potato?"

"Why were you not asleep?" Amity asked Luz.

"A nightmare" Luz simply said.

Amity nodded, "yeah, me too. Was it bad?"

"Everyone...everyone was dead, you know? Everyone was dead...back home. Eda, Raine, Darius..." A shadow casted through Luz's face, "everything was destroyed, everything was wrong"  Luz sighted.

Amity sat beside her, side-hugging her, trying to comfort her girlfriend, "it was a nightmare, it was not real" she assured her.

"But, if it wasn't? If that's what really happened... I...and it would be my fault.. if I"

"No" Amity interrupted her, "it's absolutely not your fault. If even, you help it didn't end...worse" She said, remember how her father hold to his arm, leaping, his life force scaping through his sigil.
She saked her head to get that memory off.

"But..." Luz whispered.

"No but" Amity laid down with Luz in her arms, "you did your best, and you helped a lot. You gave us hope. You got us safe. For Titan's sake, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for Hunter's safety, for our safeties"  Amity placed a kiss on Luz's forehead, "but don't you dare to risk yourself like that again, alright? You're not alone, you can count on us"

And with that, they fell asleep in the comfort presence of each other.


























End notes:

THREE ANNOUNCEMENT:

First, sorry it took me soooo long to update.

I've been busy and when I wasn't, i hadn't have energy nor I wasn't in the mood to write, or to do almost anything.

I'll start writing again, but it might take time for me to update this story.

I'm not gonna have a schedule because the possibility of failing that schedule gives me ✨anxiety✨

Second, this is not proof read, since I don't have any proof reading person or beta reader or whatever anymore.

Because of that, you can send me an application to be my beta reader.
To do so you can send me a message either here or through my Instagram, margb_light.

It's probably that I'll see your message sooner if you write me through Instagram, since I use it a little more, but either way I'll see it eventually.

Third, I've drawn some pretty cool posters I'm selling now.

You can DM me through Instagram or Wattpad or you can complete the form in my link in the bio of my Instagram to buy one
