A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

The Owl House

Henry's POV

Henry sat there and could feel Luz patting his back. Footsteps told him Eda had returned.

"Hey kidd- Uhh? Who's this?"

Luz shook her head, "Eda, this is Henry..."

Henry didn't say anything. He stood up and sighed, "Imma head home. There's no reason for me to be here anyways." He turned away and started down the path.

"Wait! Maybe Eda can help." Luz called. Henry turned to the older witch.

"Uhh- with what exactly?" Eda shrugged.

Henry looked away, "My sister is missing..... she went missing earlier this morning. In the market.."

Eda shook her head, "I'll see if I can find anything, but I haven't seen anything..."

Henry's heart sunk but he nodded. He turned and started back down the path. Once he knew he was out of sight he took off. His legs carrying him as fast as they could. Tears rolling down his cheeks. I HATE IT HERE! Before he knew it he tripped and then crashed against the ground. Pain shot through his arm and side, but he didn't care.. He didn't have the energy to get up so he just lied there. His head hurt from colliding with the ground, his vision was dazed. He shut his eyes to stop the pain....

Henry opened his eyes, he could see light shining through a window. Sitting up he grunted. He looked down at his arm and noticed a bandage wrapped around it. He then lifted his tank top and saw a bandaged wrapped around it. He dropped his tank top and look up and recognize his surroundings... The Owl House.. he had only been here once, but it left an impression that was hard to forget..

"Ah your up. How are ya feeling kid?" Henry looked over at the door way to the kitchen, Eda stood there witch bandages and some medicine.

"How'd I get here?" Henry stared at Eda as she placed the medicine and bandage down.

"After you took off Luz went after ya. Once she found you, you were on the ground passed out. You hit your elbow making it bleed. But when you feel you landed on a sharp rock that stabbed your side. I don't know healing spells and neither does Luz so we went ahead and brought you back and fixed you up. Luz promised you take care of ya wounds."

Henry nodded then paused, "What about my moms! Do they-"

"They know. I messaged them, they flipped out a bit but agreed to get you in the morning."

Henry nodded his ears pricked to the stairs creaking. "Oh Henry your up. How are you feeling?"

Henry shrugged. "My side hurts but fine otherwise."

"Eh- oh good your up. Take care of Henry's wounds I gotta get to the stand." Eda said heading for the door and shutting it behind her.

Luz nodded and made her way to the couch and sat down. She reached out and grabbed Henry's arm pulling the bandages off. "I'm assuming Eda told you why your here?"

Henry nodded wincing at the cold air on his elbow wound. "Yea she did..."

"We found you in a small puddle of your own blood... it was a gross smell." Luz shuddered. She turned the medicine over on a rag and then pressed it against his elbow. He winced, his elbow stung.

"Great titán that hurts!" He snarled. He watched Luz pull the rag away and then wrap it back up with bandages.

"Well it's the best way to keep it from getting infected besides from healing magic." Luz commented. "Lift your shirt up so I can replace the bandages on your side."

Henry nodded, lifting his shirt up. He looked down at his side, the bandage was soaked with blood. Henry winced at the sight and watched Luz take the bandage off. She placed it to the side. Henry stared at his side. His side had a deep cut that was still red.

"This is going to hurt a lot, but it'll help." Luz pressed the rag up against his side. His side surge with pain and he let out a loud hiss. Luz quickly finished with the rag and put it to the side and grabbed the bandages. She wrapped the bandages around his side and nodded. "There..."

Henry let go of his shirt and looked away. "So why didn't you get up after you fell?" Luz's voice was soft.

Henry glanced over and shrugged, "I didn't have to energy. I was so tired, with Hope missing, Blitz showing up randomly, and Bristle breaking down. It was to much more me... I'm not use to being the one having to take care of things.. It's always been Hope." Henry let out a dry chuckle. "I don't know anything about being in charge... My older sister always knew what to do... she was there when I had nightmares..... she protected me from bullies.... Sure she wasn't perfect. Hell once she nearly clawed my eyes out... I still have a scar from that. She was a jerk... but she was still my sister.... God I miss her..."

Luz nodded, "I remember how mean she was when we first met. She snapped at me any chance she got. I never realized how much it reminded me of Amity. But we quickly became friends... Maybe not the closest, but we were still friends.

"Hoot! Henry you have a visitor!" They look a lot like you!" Hooty hooted a creepy smile on his face.

Henry cringed but nodded, "Right" she stood up and nodded to Luz, "Thanks for helping Luz.. And I'm sorry about last night.. Bristle told me how you came up to them in the market and how you led Hope away... so I jumped to conclusions."

Luz nodded then looked thoughtful. "If the person looked like me they could be apart of the illusion track." She pointed out.

Henry paused, "You're right," hope flared inside of Henry. "YOU'RE RIGHT! I haven't even thought about that! We have a lead!" Excitement rushes through him. We will find you Hope...
