Chapter 32: Never Gets Easier

Madelyn Smith was many things. A very successful lawyer, a mother, and an anime enthusiast. She could be kind, she could mean. She could be gentle, but she can also be the most violent bitch you've ever met. She could never hurt a fly or...um...you know what? Let's maybe not get into that side of her. For anyone she cared for, she'd kick Death in the balls if needed.

Trixx could respect that. Lying curled up in her probably-mother's arms, she felt safe as could be. She had been nothing but kind to the magic-born fox, so Trixx would gladly kill any who dared to harm the woman. She had seen Madelyn's wide range of emotions of joy, concern, and sadism- er, anger. Of all those emotions, there was one she hadn't seen yet, at least not until today.

Trixx didn't know what was so different about August 22nd, but it must've been bad if even Madelyn was looking sad. So after waking up and seeing Maddie's face turn from the usual morning drowsiness to sad, Trixx wondered what could possibly make a s̷͚̹̑á̴̛̱̗d̷͙̅i̸͈̐s̴͇̲̿̇t̸̯͂ saint like her become so melancholy. All she knew was that apparently Camilla and Luz were going to be spending the day together, and that Flint would also be sad. Trixx had already texted Vee to see what she would be doing and if they could hang out, but apparently the basilisk was invited to join them.

'Hm. What to do. What to do...' Trixx thought.

Amity was excited. How could she not be? Today was the Bonesborough Brawl, and her dad agreed to come and cheer her on! Oh yeah, her siblings too, but he was way more important! This was going to be one of the first times she ever wanted one of her parents to be somewhere and was going to...which was really sad now that she thought about it.

Amity smacked both sides of her face and left her hands sitting there. 'No. No more thinking like that! My real family's coming to watch the brawl, I'm gonna kick everyone's asses, and then get smothered with love from my amazing boyfriend and girlfriend for winning! This is a great day!' Amity psyched herself up, a wide smile on her face.

All that was left was to go get Luz and Flint, which she was currently doing by walking through the woods to the Owl House. She didn't necessarily need to walk all the way over to tell them about it and could've just hexted them, but Sov damn it, she wanted to spend some time with them beforehand!

As the abomination witch reached the clearing the house resided in, she was greeted with the sight of Jean-Luc and Louis patrolling the area. Flint had managed to revitalize them to be extra security. Both looked over to her with a head tilt before slowly raising an arm and waving at her, though the movements were jerky. Nearby, she saw Trixx standing near Portal Door 2.0 with everyone else as Flint and Luz shared a hug. The two separated and Amity was able to hear the tail end of their conversation.

"I'll be by later. You have a good time, okay?" Flint said.

Luz nodded. "I will, just try not to get into too much trouble while I'm gone."

Eda snorted. "Kid, we all know just how unlikely that is."

Luz chuckled. "Yeah, I know, but a girl can hope," Luz said, bidding her farewell as she stepped through the portal, letting it close behind her.

Seeing her girlfriend disappear through the door was a bit of a bummer for Amity. Before she could think much about it, though, Trixx noticed her and excitedly waved.

"Ams! Hey! Hey Ams! HEY!" Trixx waved frantically, attempting to get the girl's attention. In the process, she got everyone to look in Amity's direction as the young witch approached.
