Luz's POV:

Luz let out a demonic groan, she felt like she had a hangover, but it was more so due to the complete and utter lack of sleep. What time was it? How do you read? God, she can't fucking think straight.

Her face was burning red and dripping with sweat from the suffocating heat. A heatwave is to be expected and it was beginning to really make itself be noticed.

Knives were being plunged deep into every part of Luz's body and being twisted viciously. Gravity was tripled on Luz and even the slight movement physically drained her. All she could do was pathetically groan.

Willow looked over at Luz, confused.

"You okay there demon?" Willow laughed.

"Wha- Mhm." Luz said in a groggy voice.

"You sure? You look like shit bro, how much did you sleep?" Willow asked.

"I don't know. I want.. I want a tomato." Luz mumbled.

Willow chuckled and looked at Luz's sorry state. "Man, go back to sleep."

"No!" Luz cried out. "It's too hot."

"I'm going out now. If I stay in here for more than five minutes I might pass out." Willow stated, before getting up towards the door.

Luz muffled in response as she watched Willow leave the dorm. In total she might have received an hour of sleep, and even then she doesn't even know if she could class it as sleep since she was fully conscious the entire time.

The heat had gotten to her, she finally gave in and accepted that you cannot defeat weather. The violent rays of sunlight was burning through her skin and was practically being cooked alive.

She sluggishly stumbled out of the couch like a mindless zombie, water was what she was desperate for, but the tap looked so far away from her. In stumbles Luz made her way towards the sink and sloppily poured herself a full cup of lukewarm tap water. How nice; truly living like a Queen.

But in the back of her mind, something was still troubling her. That dream. It felt like she was being slowly submerged into the ocean and sinking. All her shouting, all her screaming, all her crying was drowned out. Nothing but muffled noises.

Why was she insulting herself? Why was she assaulting Amity? Why was she running away?

Luz let these thoughts sink in for a little bit - giving herself time to really think. She still didn't have any answer to why any of it happened in the first place.

Whatever. She still has to meet up with Camila later. No point in thinking about it right now.

The cup of water was put down by the sink. Like hell she was going to be cleaning in this torturous heat. She went back to the couch and slumped herself down onto it, letting all her thoughts and feelings dissolve into the couch.

A little nap wouldn't hurt. Would it?

BZZZZZT BZZZZZZT BZZZZZZT

Luz waved about her arm searching for the phone. Who the fuck was calling her?

She let out a slight grumble followed by a demonic yawn whilst stretching every part of herself. Luz rubbed her eyes and grabbed her phone and in a drowsy state read the name of the caller.

'🧂'

Luz's eyes widened. It was Amity. (they have matching names, salt and pepper) It's fine Luz. It was just a dream, it isn't like anything truly happened.
