Looking for a home

The Healing

Amity was lying on her back long enough to feel discomfort from staying in the same position for too long. Her senses slowly sharpened, and she could hear muffled voices coming from downstairs, making her oversensitive ears twitch unevenly. She frowned, clenching her jaw and tying her brows when another sensation came to her - a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Damn it," The witch hissed, sucking in the air through her clenched teeth. She brought the hand to her stomach and felt the bandages under her clothes, "What the hell..." She wanted to ask when, all at once, the memories of everything that had happened rushed through her mind. A sudden burst of laughter coming from downstairs made her open her eyes.

"Amity?" A familiar voice asked, and the witch's eyes roamed the room with confusion.

"Who's there?" She asked angrily, trying to ignite her hand but she was tucked all too well under Gus' weighed quilt. Her ears twitched in panic while she tried to distinguish light from shadows.

"Hey, hey, Blight, calm down," The round glasses shone eerily, and a small smile was hiding underneath.

"Willow?" Amity asked in disbelief, trying to get up.

"Yeah, it's me," Willow confirmed with a warm smile, pulling her chair closer to the Blight's side of the bed.

"What..."

"You don't remember yet, do you?" She asked, and Amity shook her head. Willow sighed and summarized everything, "Luz was ambushed by some ass who stabbed you. She brought you back here and, sort of, healed you before Demon's magic ran out..." Memory after another flashed through Amity's mind.

"Luz?"

"We decided to take her to the other room where someone is with her at all times," Willow explained, "You seemed like you needed a good rest and people coming in, checking in on Luz were only disturbing you so..."

"Danielle got bossy, huh?" The hurt woman smirked.

"Yeah..." Willow whispered, her look diverting to the side, "She's so... Luz-ish," She added and they shared a small chuckle before Amity realized how the human bandages hurt her, "You want me to call her?"

"Nah," The wounded witch replied with a small smile, "I can handle it myself," She added and slowly began to remove her bandages, "It was not the welcome we had in mind, you know," Amity tried to joke after removing the elastic bandage, looking at her wound, poking it with a little hiss.

"I don't know what you mean. It was very much like home," Willow replied and smirked at her friend.

"Holy fucking mother of Titans!!!" Amity cursed and rolled to the side, curling in pain, and growling heavily.

"Do you want me to get Danielle now?" Park asked with an 'I told you so' attitude.

"Yes, please," Amity groaned, trying to recompose herself.

The doors opened unexpectedly.

"Danielle?" Willow asked in surprise.

"Luz told me Amity was in pain," The woman explained her sudden appearance, "Bert, Gus, and Hunter are with her now."

That gave Amity three crucial pieces of information. Luz was alive, awake, and lucid enough to talk. That also meant that Blight did well. Then again, Clawthorne was still bedridden and someone had to be with her at all times.

"What's wrong, Honey?" Danielle addressed the lavender-haired witch who was still trying to recompose herself.

"She tried to remove the bandages herself," Willow explained and Danielle sucked the air in through her teeth in an expression of pain that sounded like a two-syllable 'damn'.
