"What?" I questioned as I got blasted back by him. At the same time, King inhaled deeply and used this sonic shout on Luz, causing her, Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter and I to get knocked into the portal and Human Realm altogether.

"No!" Luz yelled, running back toward the door. "King!" She attempted to reach the portal, but the door closed on her just as she reached it. She opened it, hoping the portal would activate again, only to find the empty room of the house in front of her. She tried it two more times unsuccessfully, as the others look on in shock. Luz turns around, just as Gus begins to break down crying. I ran up and desperately tried to open the portal by opening the door multiple times.

"NIBIIIIIII!" I yelled as I broke down in tears. I got a group hug by my friends as I let out all of my emotions, only, I didn't feel my curse acting up.

"You have a little something on your face." Willow pointed out.

"Oh, s-sorry." I stuttered as I brushed my hand on my cheek.

"Willow, I don't think now is the best- oh wow." Amity gasped as Gus handed me a mirror illusion, showing the sun and moon marks on each of my cheeks. I touched them at the same time and gasped when I heard The Collector's voice.

"I hope you don't hate me for that, I was showing I care. Anyways, while I play here, we can chat through these marks!"

"Wait, is it now the end of the Day of Unity?" I asked as Luz nodded. "Happy birthday, Ingrid."

~3rd person POV~

Inside the Noceda residence, Camila was in the kitchen cooking soup for a hungry Vee while reading a news article about Anne Boonchuy. Both suddenly heard a knock on the door. Camila opened it, and gasped in shock to find the six teens looking disheveled, out in the rain with only Ingrid's cloak covering them, as Luz looked up at her.

"Hey, Mom. I'm back." Luz said. She starts tearing up. Camila looks at her daughter and gives her a warm embrace, with both shown crying.

~Ingrid's POV~

We were let inside the house. Mrs. Noceda was washing the dishes. Gus helped her by using magic and an awkward Amity gave her a cup of tea, who then in turn received a pat on the shoulder. In the bathroom. Luz got out a box of bandages that have cartoon mascots resembling Eda, King, and Hooty, which made her sad. Hunter then approached her.

"Hey." Hunter greeted. "Thanks for not telling them that I'm a..."

"A grimwalker?" Luz finished, opening the box of bandages.

"Shhhh, don't say it so loud!" Hunter warned. "Uh... what about you? How've you been since, uh...?"

"Since we were in Belos' mind?" Luz asked. "Since I found out I helped him meet the Collector? Oh my gosh, Hunter." Luz started tearing up again. "They're all gonna hate me."

"What? Psssh!" Hunter said as Luz wiped away her tears and slightly smiled. "No, of course they won't. They won't hate you any more than me when they find out that..." he starts panicking. "I might be a clone of... someone who was a... witch hunter... with... Belos..." They peer at Willow and Amity in the dining room, looking despondent.

"We'll tell them." Luz said. "When we're ready."Hunter nodded as I bumped into him.

"Ack! Sorry!" I apologized. "I was just getting something!"

"Hey, it's okay." Hunter consoled as he took off my glasses and put a bandage on my eye. I looked in the mirror and smiled.

"Thanks, Goldie. I... I needed that." I thanked. We stared at each other and blushed.
