Murder, Love and Magic.

Chapter 9.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning and Luz kept yawning everywhere she was. Even if a bully wanted to beat her up, she would yawn in tiredness and pass by.

And all of this was the cause of a simple girl who went by the name Amity Blight, but was always called the Little Miss Perfect or Top-Student.

For a tad second, Luz would try to fall asleep, but there was always a distraction. Either someone was playing music, there was a fight for the most stupidest reason, or just hearing someone chewing food or snacking loudly.

"Luz!"

She immediately shot up as a familiar face called her. Luz's left eye was droopy, and the other was closed. It was like someone had hit her head with a baseball bat.

"Thanks for doing our assignments, we were the highest in class! Zack didn't want to say anything because he thought it was too late thanking someone, but-"

Anna saw Luz's head moving left and right and it went straight back to the table. She gave Anna a thumbs up and immediately went back to sleep.

She looked at the table and saw a whole bunch of papers. Despite staying up because of Amity, Luz also knew that there was "school work" to do.

...

"Is this what you want? Is this who you are, Amity Blight!?"

Both Zander and Amity were in the middle of the hallway, as people gathered around them.

He was dragging her hair and yelling into her ear like the barbarian he was.

"You went to that Luz girl again, didn't you? Didn't you!?"

The 17 year old boy started to whisper threatens into the 14 year old girl who was in pain and needed help. Not only was she currently suffering in the hands of this maniac, but also her abusive mother.

Suddenly, people saw Luz passing by as she was sipping from the coffee that Anna had bought for her. Amity smiled as tears came across her eyes, knowing that Luz could save her.

Luz took a glance at Zander who was holding Amity's hair, and Amity who was crying and also had a red mark on her cheek, as a result of getting beaten by Zander.

"Don't even bother to come close to her anymore. You know you're the cause of her getting into this."

Zander said to Luz and she looked at him in amusement. She started to laugh and sighed at the brainless and half-witted boy.

"Man. How do you not know that you're ruining your reputation? It's kind of terrible how thick-skulled you are."

"She has a life to live, and definitely not one where she gets abused by a boy who's immature for his fucking age. C'mon, you're 17. Act like one."

He blushed in embarrassment and everyone around him started to laugh.

He let go of Amity, and Luz immediately caught her with no hesitation. He gave her a warning and he stormed off.

They both got to the infirmary and Luz got the first aid box.

"Where's the nurse when you need him."

Luz rolled her eyes in annoyance and frustration and saw a scratch on Amity's hand.

"Stay still, this might hurt."

Amity hissed in pain and Luz sighed. She was feeling a little bit sluggish, still needing rest.

"Why do you always magically appear when I need help? Why do you always help me?"

Amity asked and Luz closed the first aid box. She dropped it back and looked at her.

"Because I don't like it when people bully you. Is that the answer to your question?"

Despite Luz being stern with the reply, she really did care about Amity. A lot. She blushed at the reply and shook away the thought.

"I'll definitely need to write about this in my diary."

Amity thought to herself and sighed.

"But sincerely speaking, you need to get away from Zander. He's an abusive, manipulative man."

Amity looked away in pain and Luz felt weird. She wanted Amity to talk to her about how she was currently feeling, she didn't want her to feel all the pain.

"Amity? You can talk to me about anything. If you're comfortable about it."

Amity shook her head.

"But thank you. I'll tell you the story when the time comes for me to tell you."

Luz stood up and helped Amity. She gave her hand and as Amity slightly touched it, Luz blushed a little.

"Come on, we should both be at class by now. These teachers really don't know when things are going on around this school."

Amity giggled and Luz scratched the back of her neck, completely embarassed and falling for her smiles and giggles.

"Luz!"

"Luz!"

"Luz!!!!"

A myriad of people started to scream Luz's name and her eyes widened. Amity looked and saw a swarm of people coming towards the both of them.

"Amity Blight. Do not let go of this hand."

She blushed and agreed.

"We're going to do something that is a little bit dangerous, but I promise, I'll repay you back. Do you trust me?"

She nodded and Luz looked at her.

"Blink 2 times."

Amity did as she said, and they appeared somewhere else. They also saw people there, and they started to chase after Luz.

"Do it again!"

Amity blinked 2 times, and they saw people there again.

"Do these people not go to class!?"

They did it 5 times, and they finally got to class that was vacant. Luz heard the bell and everybody went back to their normal lives.

She looked outside and gave a huge sigh of relief. "Your species are very weird." She said to Amity and she giggled.

Luz's phone was vibrating in her pocket and she saw who was calling. Unfortunately and stupidly, it was the red man himself, Satan.

"What does he want now?"

Luz told her to not make a single sound at all and Luz answered the call.

"Hello?" She immediately silenced the phone and put it close to her ear so Amity couldn't hear their conversation.

"Yo, yo, yo! How's your work going?"

"It's good, thank you."

"Have you been enjoying your life over there?"

"Yes, yes, I have. It's quiet exhausting having to multitask."

"You don't speak like this with me normally. Are you with someone?"

"Yes, I am."

"Hm. I'll talk to you later when you are less busy. Make sure to bring back a person's head back home!"

She rolled her eyes and cut the call.

"Let's go back to class, shall we?"
