"Hey guys! You're back!" Amity said.
"AMITY!" "LUZ!"
Amity and Luz hugged each other.
Hunter and Lily walked in. Hunter sat down on the floor by Eda. "You're not even gonna change out of the cloak, kid?" Eda asked. "He's... not doing too good." Lily said.
"Here." Luz gave him a sweater to change into. "You can have this to wrap up with if you want." she said, giving him a blanket.
"Thanks...I-I guess.." Hunter said, "I'm gonna be right back."
Hunter got up and went in the bathroom to change. He put the sweater on, and looked in the mirror.
Suddenly there was screaming. "What the f- I'm gonna go check if Hunter's okay." Gus said, running to the bathroom. "Locked...!" he whisper-yelled. Gus banged on the door. "HUNTER? ARE YOU OKAY?"
"Y-Ye...yeah! I'm okay... D-do-don't worr-worry..!" Hunter said, weakly. "J-Just go ba-back to- to the l-l-living r-room I'll b-b-be right...t-there!" he said.
Gus hesitantly left. Hunter looked in the mirror, his right eye had gone all black and the other was normal. It was like Eda's curse, but his face had a black streak going across it. "O-Oh god."
Suddenly, wings grew out of his back. "AAAGH-"
The Collector watched as Hunter transformed into a Harpy-demon. "Hehehehehe!"
Hunter jumped. "AAAH!"
"HAHAHA! Sorry, hehehehe!" Collector laughed at him getting scared.
"You did this didn't you?" Hunter said. "Maaaaybe!" Collector said, chuckling.
"You- AAAAGH!"
The collector giggled as Hunter slowly transformed into a Harpy. "You know what...You can do without these... But should I get rid of them now...?" Collector hesitated.
"I'll wait. hehehehe!" Collector chuckled. "Well, I'll be on my way! Have fun being a harpy for a while~ Oh and as a little treat, you have uncontrollable magic. Buuuut I suppose it can be controlled after a while but I don't care. Because you're a harpy! Hehehehehehe!" Collector laughed as he disappeared into the shadows.
Hunter went back to the living room, grabbing the blanket wrapping it around himself.
"You okay, kid?" Eda asked. "N- no? yes..? Maybe... I don't know."
"Hunter, you can tell us anything. It's ok." Lily smiled.
"The Collector put me in this weird illusion world where the Boiling Isles was abandoned and... He had your palismen and he was just playing with them. And then he took Flapjack and-- Now he has him..forever."
"Forever?" Eda asked, "Not unless we sneak-"
"THE KID CAN LITERALLY SEE US. WE CAN'T PLAN ANYTHING. HE'S GONE... He's.. Flapjack is.. Gone."
"And for some salt in the wound he cursed me." he unwrapped himself and his wings spread. "Not to mention my face looks.. Terrifying now." he said.
"You can use one of my conceal-" Amity tried to offer him something but she was cut off.
"It's..fine. I can deal with it."
Hunter sat on the couch and King walked up to Hunter and laid in his lap. Ghost curled up next to him and Owlbert sat on Hunter's shoulder. "...Thanks.. I g-guess."
