The Will of an Enemy (Lumity)

Retract

The Blight manor was lifeless in the cold winter night, save for one faint glow in the top window. In her room, Amity Blight leaned against her window sill deep in thought.

Frustrations from the day before filled her head. She wondered how she could get so close, yet not reach her goal. Just as the memory engrained in her head said, She's better than this.

With a deep sigh the girl swirled her hands to summon small flames. What made Luz different? She wondered.

Well, it's her. She's never been like anyone else.

The nostalgia of her school days swarmed her head. She had always treated her as a friend, of course Amity was smitten with the attention. Her mind replayed memories of her laugh, her azura impression, even her cute face as she discovered a basic spell.

"Luz.." Amity muttered with a faint smile. Without realizing, she had called for an abomination to rise. Its goo crept up, starting to resemble the features of the human. Just as she was in the forest with the real Luz, its closeness snapped her back to reality.

"N-no.." Amity leaned back, her gaze hardening. "What are you thinking, Blight?"

"Thinking of kissing her?" A voice called out from the doorway.

"Wh-what are you doing here?!" Amity shot up, awkwardly standing stiff.

"Are we interrupting something here?" A higher voice called out behind the first. A pair of brother and sister swept past the previously closed door.

"Edric. Emira. Seriously you guys need to go!" The now red Amity tried to shove her twin siblings out the door.

"But sis!" The sister, Emira pouted. "We just wanted to check on our baby sister!"

"Yeah mittens, it seemed you were busy anyways.." The two snickered.

"In fact, I AM busy." Amity glared at them. "I was obviously doing.. Target practice with the abomination over there."

"Oh no Emira!" Edric dramatically gasped, "Do you think our baby sister can wield the power of love?" The duo bursted out laughing.

"Gods, will you keep it down you two our parents will hear us!!" Amity felt the swirl of rage and embarrassment heat her face. "And don't be ridiculous!"

"Why don't you show us your new moves then?" Emira suggested.

"Gladly." The youngest Blight scoffed, reading her aim at the goo. With a blast of fire, goo splattered across the room.

The twins made it obvious with their expressions that they weren't expecting the show. The two quickly wiped the goop on them and turned for the door. "Don't push yourself, mittens! And get some rest soon."

The girl scoffed. Once they shut the door behind them, the girl stuck out her tongue and pulled on her eyelid.

"Really.. Kissing some goo, just because it looks like Luz??" Amity forced a laugh out. "How childish do they think I am? Like I would really make a version of my lov- tHE HUMAN.." She stiffed up, convincing herself no one heard her as she continued to rant, "Just to feel a warm embrace??"

She paused for a moment, watching the goo cower back into its cauldron. Taking a glance at the door to double check her nuisance was gone, Amity took a chance to clear her throat.

"Abomination, rise."
