Later in the day

I met up with Willow and Gus in the town and we all went to a little diner to eat.

But the interaction with amity made me feel.. so.. hurt? It was bothering me.. eating me from the inside I was dying to tell someone but who would believe that part of amity exists?

"It was the strangest thing.." Willow said "how do you lose something that is in your hand?" Willow added on.
"Yeah it's weird, Luz you got a opinion on this?" Gus asked me breaking me on my train of thought.
"Huh what we're we talking about? Sorry I zoned out" I replied sitting up right.
"You okay luz?" Willow asked raising her brow. "Oh me? Pssh yeah I'm fine just thinking about someon- Something! Haha.." I said nervously laughing to play it off. Willow leaned closer to me looking suspicious. "Hmm, if you say so luz" she said getting close to my face.
Willow's face turned a light red and backed off from my face looking away embarrassed.
"So anyways.." I said breaking a little moment of silence. "What're y'all doin later today?" I added onto my sentence.

Willow's face went back to what it once was without the red blush. "Oh just gonna get home probably work on my magic" Willow shrugged "I'm gonna go to the park and play a little show for the kids, they love the illusions" gus butted in.

"Magic?" I questioned raising a brow.

"Yeah magic.. you've been here for a day or so and you never knew everyone here can do magic?" Gus said surprised "no I haven't I wanna learn magic!" I eagerly said "well magic it comes from.." Willow tried to explain "the heart?" I said finishing her sentence "no-wait.. you're right it does with little sacks attached to our hearts it makes us use magic!" Willow explained.

"Ew- but cool!" I grossly said but yet intrigued..

"I'm not sure if you'll be able to do magic but ain't gonna hurt to try am I right?" Gus said trying to fit into the conversation.

"Well that's one way to let me down, I'll still try my best I'm sure Eda can help me." I stated putting my hands on my lap as we waited for gus to finish eating.

"Eda? As in Eda the owl lady?" Willow started to worry "I don't know why she is the owl lady but there is a owl on her front door" I stated. "Oh my titan.." Willow said turning to gus slowly then back at me "You know the owl lady.." Willow said not going into detail of this whole 'owl lady' thing

"Not only know I live with her!" I proudly said.

"That's worse luz! Eda is a notorious thief and criminal, she is the most powerful witch in Bonesborough other than the Blight family!" Willow tried to warn me "oh no way! That's so cool! I live with such a interesting woman!" I squealed

"Luz she is the most dangerous person here please be careful" gus said finally finishing his food.

"Don't worry you two she took me under her wing she is my protector" I said with pride.

Willow and gus gave me a confused look as if they were in disbelieve that I lived with the 'owl lady'

Hours of fun later..

After our little adventures around the town Willow and gus went their separate ways and I went mine. Walking along the cobbled streets making my to Eda's place.
A cold firm hand laid on my shoulder and gripped it tightly "Hey, Luz" I turn to face the person who called my name out to see no person but a 'abomination' whatever the hell that is. "Oh Amity, hey what's up?" Amity smiled softly at my voice, her smile quickly faded as I heard footsteps behind me.
Amity quickly punched me in the stomach causing me to fall to my knees. "Don't speak to me ever again." Amity Coldly threatened, her voice changed quickly from her soft greeting.

"Oh amity getting aggressive to someone who hasn't done anything yet? I like it" a familiar voice said. "Hello Boscha, just wanted to have fun" amity said coldly as she walked around me and kicked me in my sides.

Who is Boscha? Isn't that pinkie?

"Ooh so aggressive makes you even more stunning than you already are" Boscha chuckled.

"Shut up before you end up like her" Amity growled.

"So fierce.. it's so hot babe" Boscha said all lovey dovey like "don't you ever call me babe ever again!" Amity threatened.

"Don't forget who gave you a second chance" Boscha said with a devilish chuckle.

"Maybe someone can give you a third chance so I don't have to be stuck with you" amity angrily said as she walked away from me. Boscha and a few other girls followed behind her catching up to amity.

"What was that about?" I groaned as I got onto my feet.

"Maybe I shouldn't be so nice to her next time" I told myself as I turned to face the way I was heading before being interrupted.
