3rd Person POV:

"Amity Blight! You come out of this room this instant or so help me I will tear this door off of its hinges!" Shouted Odalia from the other side of the wall. The words, of course, were purposefully ignored by the youngest Blight.

Amity sat on her bed, legs bent up to her chest as she felt unwanted tears pour onto the festive sweater her girlfriend had lent her.

"Spoiled brat!" Odalia exclaimed one last time before thundering footsteps were heard going down the steps of the manor. A door had slammed hard enough downstairs that it made Amity's bed rattle. She wasn't sure if it was the front door or the guest bedroom her mother would be sleeping in.

She hoped it was the front door.

Amity's face dug deeper into the position she was in. The more the Blight had thought about it, the more satisfied she was.

She had said the words that many versions of her before couldn't say. Amity had spoken up for the scared little girl who still lived inside her in one way or another, the little girl who had never felt that sort of power before. Well now, Amity was content, and that was all she ever wanted to be.

Howling winds surrounded the Noceda residence, waking up Luz from a deep sleep.

The teen could feel the puffiness of her eyes as she slowly opened them to reveal a dark room. Groaning, Luz reached over to her bedside table to tap her phone. It was 5AM, earning another tired whine from the Noceda.

After wallowing in her bed for a couple of minutes, Luz decided to get up and ready herself for the day. It was Christmas morning, although it didn't feel that way at all. Luz opened her bedroom door with a yawn.

While crossing the hallway to get to her restroom, she heard the noise of a familiar and guttural snore coming from the living room. Peaking over to the sofa, she sighted her step-father, who she had excitedly forgotten about until this moment.

He sprawled out on the couch in the same clothes he had shown up in yesterday and was covered by a blanket that she recognized from her mother's room. She glared at him for a moment before swiftly making her way into the bathroom where she had done all her daily necessities.

After she had changed out of her pajamas and into the festive outfit she had been planning to wear on this day, she had no idea what to do next.

Her stomach growled with hunger, but she couldn't go into the kitchen. She would risk the chance of waking him up in the process. So, she did what any teen would do when they have no plans, she scrolled on her phone.

She had responded to Amity's message in the process. 'Merry Christmas cariño :) <3 I love you so much!' She typed while smiling. After a few minutes without a response, she assumed the Blight was still sleeping.

Luz hung on the side of her bed with her head hanging upside down for an inappropriate amount of time, and it was apparent when she quickly flipped over after hearing a sound outside her room, causing her to be light-headed.

She listened as heavy thuds and low grumbles made their way into the bathroom down the hall. Luz ignored the noises as best as she could until the footsteps returned, stopping at the teen's bedroom door. Luz held her breath, stopping any indication that she was awake.
