Strangers To Lovers[Discontinued]

II

Amity's POV

I didn't really know how it begin but to my guess, it all started when I was born. Born in a family prestigious and old school especially when that family is called Blight family, if you ever born in family like that perfection is expected and there is no way in hell that there would be any room for mediocrity.

My name is Amity Blight, I'm 18 now and I was the youngest among their children which is the twins that are also my older siblings, Edric and Emira Blight. Both are annoying but they could be good siblings if they wanted too but anyways, my parents basically give up on my two older siblings the moment they showed more interest on illusion than oracle or abomination so it switched to me.

The high expectations needed to be met, the rules needed to be followed and image to keep up...I was their little miss perfect. I took after my father, I had his hair color and eyes and his magic the only thing I took after my mom was the skin tone and looks when she was younger but maybe a little bit mixed of my father too. When you have a mom like mine, it always felt like you live at the edge of the knife.

She has her ways on getting in my head, to always make me remember who I am and how heavy the families last name is to carry. Because expectations should be met with perfection, if you're a Blight you need to be above all, stronger, smarter.

You are only to befriend those who are in your circle, and only a select few are lucky enough to be pick getting involved with me and my family but that doesn't mean I liked it, no. I hated the way I don't have control over my life, how my mom always mendel with it making this decision that would only benefit her but not me.

And don't get me started with their overbearing expectations, actually I can't really say many things about my dad , he isn't a bad man nor interfere with us his family but he isn't any good either for a father. His neglectful leaded him to not noticing us his children, he barely makes time for us or in most worst scenario he never really give us time at all.

He just mindlessly follow mom's words and orders, he doesn't give any care if mom was being to much on us, on me. He was just at the side too busy with his work to see just how much mom pushed all this expectations on me that she failed to have her precious twins to meet.

She even forced me to dye my hair mint because she wants us her children to be color coordinated, her obsession for perfection leaded us, me to this.

I was tired, overwhelmed as her expectations are just too much. I tried my best to meet them, to follow her rules, I work hard to keep up my grades on being A's, I kept my image as Hexide top student and start player of banshee.

I tried as in really tried but I felt like nothing was ever good enough with her, even if I am already training under Empress wing and yet still she isn't satisfied, like she ever was satisfied.

I guess out of stressed and everything I just do things out of repulsive, like dying my hair lavender or maybe because of whenever I look at the mirror I just, I just couldn't recognize myself anymore and it hurts that even in my own home and body I felt like a complete stranger.

Of course mom found out about what I had done with my hair and the words she said to me really was the last straw, I guess. I felt hot tears made it to my eyes but i didn't wanna show them I'm crying, maybe it was the pride but I didn't have much time to dwelled on that thought as I followed the first thing my mind told me, to run. Just far away from the manor, far away from mom, far away from everyone else.

I kept running and running and running until I found myself at the park, no one was there mainly because the sun was already setting and it's only logical that there would be no kids or anyone my age in particular so I went to the parks playground where there was this slide and I went under it as I hugged my knees close to me and cried there silently, my thoughts were spiraling in my head and I can't focus.

It was hard and my breathe was quickening too but then...I lifted up my head for some unknown reason and there stood in front of me, she has purplish brownish hair and hazel eyes but those eyes...held the same feeling I was feeling I think.

We both stared at each other for a moment and then the next thing I knew she sat down beside me, I noticed her prosthetic arm hugging her knees close to her chest while her other one that isn't prosthetic wrapped around my shoulder and pulled me close to her side as she guided my head to lay on her shoulder.

It wasn't awkward nor do I feel embarrassed that a complete stranger found me crying, no. As a matter of fact I felt comfortable, at peace and most of all relief but I didn't stop crying and I continue to cry.

We both didn't say a word, we just sat there in pure silence as I think we both cried, she was so silent just like me and with only our presence comforting us. She felt so warm, I felt so warm and cozy with this complete strangers arm wrapped around me and if only I could decide I would want us to stay at least a little bit longer like that and I guess she thought of the same so we stayed there under the slide comforting one another with our comforting silences and warming presences until the morning falls and the night rises did we decide to finally get out of there and fixed ourselves.

We both had neutral expression as we do and I said only one word."bye."and she responded with a hummed and we separated our ways, I still have my neutral expression on but that negative feeling was gone and all I could feel was warmth and I guess for the first time in life, a small smile made it on my face as I made it back to the manor.

A/N:hah! Done ch2! This is way more better than that immediate smut in the very begin of the chapter and yes in this AU, Luz hasn't enrolled Hexide yet and yes they dethroned Belos first and made Lilith the new Empress. Hunter and Vee are Luz's sibling figure and this is how Luz and Amity met in this AU and yes there are possibilities that there would be smut in this so yeah. I would have put G!P Luz x Amity in the description but I'll just put it here in this chapter. Anyways I'm back now and Byeee!
