Luz's Pov

I arrive at the Blight Mansion, getting flowers from the front yard (hopefully no one noticed) and their abomination butler took me inside. God, it's really big! And it smells even better than the owl house! After I'm taken inside by the abomination servant, I start modelling its face to turn it into a cat. The cat face lasted for a few seconds then fell off.

"Well, I tried" I say chuckling, then I open the door to what seems to be a big messy room full of goo.

"Mr. and Mrs. Blight?" Suddenly, a massive ball of goo flew right past me as I see where Mr. and Mrs. Blight were.

"Don't mind him, dear, we're just getting ready for a convention tonight. It's looking good, hun." I hear Mrs. Blight say while her husband was throwing goo all around, trying to build something? I don't know, I couldn't really see what he was doing.

"I'm here to appeal to your hearts, Blights!" I proudly say, hopefully to manage get me, Willow and Gus back in Hexside.

"That's sweet, but let's get to the deal." Mrs. Blight says with a weird grin on her face. "We have a rather important presentation tonight, showing off some new products."

"Like abominations?"

"Something like that. Normally, Amity helps us with these things, but she's busy, catching up on schoolwork"

"Alright, I get it, I help you show off your products and you'll let my friends back in Hexside." I say straightforward, thinking that this isn't gonna be a bad thing. It's only a presentation after all, right?

"Well, of course dear, a Blight always upholds their end of the deal. Now you might wanna get ready because....."

(TIME SKIP TO THE CONVENTION)

"....we have a long night ahead of us, folks! Welcome back to Blight Industries!" Mrs. Blight would say loudly as I stand in the middle of the stage, gulping and starting to regret my choice.

"So, haha, Alador, what would you say is the speciality of Blight Industries?" I ask with a tint of worry in my voice, getting a bit scared by all the animation machines surrounding me.

"We create abomination-based accessories for home security." He'd calmly answer as I start to get relaxed.
"But we specialise in weaponry"

"Huh?"

"You might wanna duck" Mr. Blight says as he leaves the stage and leaves me dumbfounded. When I turn my head to Mrs. Blight, a big goo ball hit me straight in the face and slammed me to the wall. It even got into my mouth! Yikes, I'm gonna have nightmares....

"This is our abomination shooter, being used against your enemies. And if it looks to inofensive for you, then we can switch it to this!" Mrs. Blight would say as that what seems as a weird shooting thing based on abominations started to throw a green colored fire. Yep, I'm definitely starting to regret my decisions in life.

(Meanwhile)

Amity was still at Hexside for her extra studying time. The amount of books never stopped growing. She'd sigh looking at the time. Shoot, I'm going to be late for the presentation of the products today! she thought to herself as she got up to leave the class. But, at the same time, Principal Bump entered the room with another set of books.

"Not so fast, Amity. Your parents told me exactly what to give you to study and work on. I'm not allowed to let you leave until you're finished."

Amity sighed as she sat down at her table and, yet again, started to note something down on her books. Right after Principal Bump left, Amity took her scroll out and started texting her older sister.
