Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Spill

Eda POV: 

The four of us walked out of the hospital, both the Blights chuckling and nudging each other. King squirmed in my arms, finally breaking out of my grasp and climbing up to my shoulder. 

"Why are we letting them help again?" He whispered to me, subtly glaring at the two green haired witches in front of us. I snorted, shaking my head.

"Because, why should I leave them out of the fun?" King rolled his eyes, turning to face the twins in front of me. "Hey, listen." He didn't do anything to acknowledge that he was listening, but I didn't care. "What kind of witch would I be if I left them out of getting revenge for their sister? I did the same thing when I was younger." 

"But you did it for reasons way less risky than this." He pointed out, making me roll my eyes, even though he had a point. 

"Okay fine, I did do it for reasons less severe than this. But, as long as they don't say anything to anyone else, they'll be fine." The demon on my shoulder rolled his eyes again, muttering a whatever under his breath. 

Ahead of me, I could hear the twins muttering their new plan. Suddenly, Edric's fist lit up in flames and he forced it forward. "Just like that!" He said, looking to his sister for approval. She tapped her chin, then shook her head. 

"No, you gotta do it with more force. Right over the heart too." She told him, which he nodded and shook his hand a few times to put out the flames. I smirked at the two, glad they already had ideas. 

"Remember you two," I started, making both of them jump. "we can't kill him yet. We've gotta make him hurt." They turned back to me, nodding their heads. I glanced at Emira, eyeing her outfit up and down again. "By the way, I've got a shirt at home you can wear so you don't ruin that fancy thing." 

But, she waved her hand at me, shaking her head. "No need, I've got a tank top under this, I'll be fine." I stared at her for a minute, then shrugged. 

"Whatever you say kid. If you want, you can give me the sweater now and I'll just send it to the owl house or whatever." Her eyes widened, but she reluctantly nodded her head. Slowly falling behind her brother until she matched my stride, I could see her cheeks light up. 

Then, she quickly pulled the shirt off, her face a bright red. Lining both sides of her neck and collarbones were numerous purple marks, too many to keep count. I held back a snort, watching as she sent a weary gaze in her twin's direction, holding the sweater up to cover herself while her bright red ears pinned themselves down. 

With a low sigh, I cast a spell, then placed a hand on her shoulder, making her jump. "He's not gonna see anything." I told her, but I could tell she didn't believe me. I shook my head. "Kid, we're magic. You're welcome by the way, that'll last till later tonight." 

She blinked a few times, then very slowly handed me the sweater. Drawing another quick spell, I teleported her sweater back to the owl house. Emira picked up her pace until she was beside her brother, striking up conversation with him once again. Clearly, he couldn't see her marks, just like I told her. 

"So!" King suddenly chirped, his voice being so loud it made my ear twitch. "What else is in store for the guy?" His eyes glittered with excitement. I shrugged, making the demon whine. 

"Dunno yet." I told him, noticing that the twins turned around to face us. "What I do know is that I want answers. So, that's what we're gonna get." King nodded his head, I could feel his claws digging slightly into my shoulder as he let out an evil chuckle. 

"Ask and you shall receive!" Edric chirped with a smirk, turning to his sister. "After all, what better way to get answers out of somebody than by using our charm?"
