"Maybe we shouldn't do this one." The girl suggests.

"What? This one looks legit though. A magical world that can grant your truest desires if admitted sounds like a bunch of bs though." Ellie shrugs.

"Maybe Mars is right. This seems a little sketchy." The other one tries.

"If you guys wanna be babies about it then I and Carol will just go. Right?" She turns to the other girl with an unsure face.

"Um, yeah, sure. What's the worst that could happen?" She says unsurely.

"Last chance, do you guys wanna try it? After this, we can do the dumb ones like Bloody Mary." Ellie laughs and the nervous ones give small nods. "That's my girls. I knew you would come around."

"Ellie, wake up!" Amity shakes her as all of the kids stand over her.

"Jesus Christ, you fight a tyrant and can't even sleep for a few hours." Elle groans trying to forget the dream.

"Luz and Vee are missing and there's a strange noise coming from the kitchen," Willow explains.

"They went missing in their own house?" Ellie asks, finally sitting up.

"It happens all the time. Can you go check for us what's happening?" Amity asks.

"This is your realm." Willow shrugs.

"Fine. But I promise you guys they're fine." She stands up.

"Thanks, girl. You're the best." Willow smiles as Ellie walks out the door.

She walks out and immediately hears the sizzling that was probably scaring them. Luz sits on a stool behind the counter just talking to her mom with a small smile. Vee seems to be getting plates or something from the cabinet. Ellie tiredly walks back to the room to see the two witches nervously waiting.

"It's just food cooking. Vee is getting plates and Luz is talking to her mom from the counter." She explains before tossing herself back on the floor.

"Can we go out there?" Amity asks.

"If you want to. You guys are safe here, it's just as if you were staying at the Owl House. Except for a different maternal figure and a different realm." She says calmly.

"Is something wrong?" Willow asks as Amity walks out the door.

"Nah, I'm good. Just a weird dream. I think this place is making things come back to me." She admits.

"That's good...right?" She tries.

"Um, yeah. It's good." She nods.

"Do you wanna head out there with me? Maybe we can go explore the human realm today. Obviously, we'd have to cover our ears but it could be fun." She suggests.

"I'll be out there in a few, I'm still waking up." Ellie smiles. Willow just shrugs with a grin before walking out.

That's when she realizes her phone is beeping again. She picks it up to see more messages coming in. It seems like they haven't stopped.
