Willows POV

Willow was sitting at the desk in her room, that had all her track books neatly set up on it, boscha was out with luz doing whatever they do together, willow was studying, she has an exam coming up soon and she didn't want her grades to slip past the almost perfect average she had kept them at for her time in the plant track

She was reading a book on different types of pumpkins and such, there was a type called demon pumpkins which seemed pretty interesting, she kept on reading and when she was about to get up to get a drink, the door to her room opened, boscha was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, her pink hair soaked and her nose red from the cold, she looked at willow, the three eyed witch flicking her eyes to the open book and the notes on her desk then back at her,
"You busy?" She questioned, "no, I was just about to get a drink then clean away my books, what about you?" Willow asked back, at that boschas face went slightly more pink than usual, "no..i was just seeing if you were busy-" At that willow called bullshit

A while after

Willow was sitting crosslegged on her bed, reading, and boscha was sitting on the other end of the bed watching stuff on her scroll, willow looked at boscha, the witch had come home earlier after playing grudgby with luz, and on her way back it had started "raining"

Willow went back to reading, for some reason that she didn't even know her attention kept getting drawn back to boscha, it was after an hour of this that willow had officially given up on whatever small piece of thinking she was straight she had left and moved to sit beside boscha, resting her head on the girls shoulder, earning a strange look from boscha, that she had returned, both seemed just as confused as the other to this awkward situation

After a while willow had begun to get sleepy, she had been up early and had studied all day, up until boscha had came back, and now, being so close to boscha and the comforting warmth she was radiating, it was difficult to stay awake, and at that she had fallen asleep

Boschas POV

Boscha was on her scroll, watching funny videos, when all of a sudden she felt a weight on her shoulder, she looked down in confusion and saw willow looking up at her, her eyebrows furrowed in question at the look she was giving her, a look that the dark haired girl had returned, not too long later willow had fallen asleep, boscha subconsciously put an arm around the girl and continued watching stuff on her scroll until she too felt tired and ended up falling Asleep

The next morning

Boscha slowly woke up, cracking open one of her eyes, it was really warm, especially considering that it was currently winter and it should be somewhat cold, she went to lift a hand to rub the sleep out of her eyes, after she did she opened her eyes properly and almost immediately realized that willow was hugged up against her, one of her own arms wrapped around her, holding her, she felt her face heat, she slowly sat up, trying her best not to disturb the sleeping girl as she went to get showered and changed.

Boscha walked back into the bedroom half an hour later to find willow still asleep, but hugging a pillow, boscha snorted, well that's a sight you don't see everyday she thought to herself as she sat down on the bed and went on her scroll, waiting for Willow to wake up, as boscha was on her scroll she received a message

One that made her heart stop

She saw it was from her father, that was enough to cause a tightening in the girls chest, the thing that made her heart stop however was the contents of the message, it was a threat, not to her, but to her friends

Boscha covered her mouth, her face paling, she felt nauseous as she read the message, for some reason this absolute sicko had felt the need to list in alphabetical order what he was going to do to her friends and anyone that got in his way, the ones that had the most thorough and...disgusting ones were amity and willow, she vaguely knew why, amity knew too much and would probably tattle on her parents as soon as she was able, the other, willow, was because her parents probably knew about how close she had gotten to the girl

She didn't know how until a memory came back to her. The day she was out with everyone and they walked past the group of kids from school, the boy and two girls, she remembered the look he had on his face and everything, she knew then that it wasn't safe to go anywhere with the others in public if her hunch was right, she desperately hoped it wasn't though

Boscha wanted to test her theory, she got up and put on outdoor clothes and took one last look at willow, she sighed, she went over to her and took the girls glasses off her, put them on the bedside table and tucked the girl back in then left, sincerely hoping that her hunch was incorrect

Boscha walked through the market, her breath steaming in the cold morning air, the promise of frost hanging heavy, she walked past a few stands, stopping every now and then, before she got a glimpse of those dark, void like eyes trained on her, she didn't acknowledge them with a look, no, that would be too obvious, she instead just walked off down a side road type thing, not very big, and it was littered in debris and filth, she kept walking until she heard the scuff of someone trying to walk quietly behind her, she subtly made a spell circle while her hands were in her pocket, she turned around just in time to see a flash of slicked back dark hair and the glint of what looked to be a pocket knife, that Sent a pang of concern through her, so far her hunch was correct, she finished the spell circle just as soon as the boy lunged again, his knuckles white against the darkness of the hilt of the pocket knife, she managed a net spell, the yellow glow settling over him, she knew that it was too easy

She dropped into a crouch beside him, he dropped the knife, before he could grab it boscha picked it up and inspected it, the blade had a strange purple ooze on it, which made boscha want to gag, but she just looked at the guy who was obviously not a teenager that has been working in kahoots with her parents, she opened her mouth to ask a question, but before she could finish, quicker than she could react she felt strong hands grabbing her shoulders and pulling her back

She was able to catch a look of yellow eyes and brown hair just before seeing red then the endless darkness that dragged her into its murky depths of unconsciousness
