Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Confess

Luz POV:

It's cold. 

I've been stuck here for what felt like forever. Everything was dark and though I tried, I couldn't move. Why couldn't I move? It was all a blur. Bits and pieces stuck out to me, but everything else was trapped in a fog. The most I could remember was up to when I tried to take the weapon from the creep. Everything after that though was spotty. 

Where even am I? It was all black around me, so that didn't give me any clues to where I was. Is this what being stuck in limbo feels like? That would mean I was dead, but that didn't sound right. My body may be stiff and everything hurts, but I wasn't dead. Was I asleep? That seemed more likely.

Another question stuck out to me, one that was constantly getting louder by the minute. Was Amity okay? I don't think he hurt her after I went down, in fact, I think she hurt him. How much she hurt him, I had no idea, though knowing her, I assume it was a lot.

I tried to move again, finding out that my limbs felt heavier than before. That was new, but I couldn't tell if it was a nice feeling or not. 

Then, while I was still trying to figure out what was going on, there was a sudden warmth. On the side of my face, just cupping my cheek was this warm feeling. It was comforting, something so different from the cold, inky blackness surrounding me. 

Turning my head, I struggled to lean into the warm feeling, closing my eyes to savor the moment. The warmth spread to the rest of my body, leaving me with this cozy feeling. It felt so much nicer than how the rest of my body felt. 

And then everything felt heavy again. 

Now I felt like I was lying down and I could hear some kind of mumbling. It sounded familiar, whoever or whatever was talking. Trying to open my eyes, I realized now it was a lot harder to do. I barely managed to get them open after a minute, and it hit me that everything changed. 

Now, instead of the darkness, my vision was blinded by the bright light of a room.

My body was stiff and sore, my side pulsing with constant pain. Whatever I was wearing was scratchy and irritating. One side of my face throbbed, while the other was cupped in someone's hand. That had to be that warmth I was feeling a bit ago. They stroked my cheek with their thumb, an action I found relaxing. Looking over in their direction without turning my head, I realized they were a blur. I blinked a couple of times, trying to clear my vision.

Very slowly, what used to be a blob of a person cleared up, revealing a familiar teal haired witch sitting by my side. I could see the tears rolling down her cheeks, dripping onto her shirt as she stared at me. She was quiet, her lips forming a broken smile. 

"Please..." Her voice wavered, sounding so vulnerable that it hurt, it hurt a lot worse than the physical pain I was feeling right now. She sniffled, a soft hiccup escaping her as she stopped stroking my cheek. Her hand didn't move away from my face, but I could feel her fingertips scratch slightly at my skin. 

I don't think she could tell I was awake. My throat felt dry, but I struggled to muster up enough strength to speak. "Amity?" I was able to rasp, making Amity gasp and pull her hand away from me in surprise. 

"Luz?" Struggling to move my arms, I started to sit up only to be quickly, yet gently pushed back down by Amity. Then, the moment I was laying back down, she threw her arms around my neck and pulled me in a tight hug. "Luz!" She exclaimed, her ear lightly rubbing against my cheek as it went down. 

"Hey..." I said simply, struggling to raise an arm up to wrap around her. She was trembling as she held me, her breathing shaky and I felt a few tears drip down onto my shirt. Amity pulled away from me, tears rolling down her cheeks as she smiled.
