An Emotional Connection

The Box

Amity POV

Amity awoke with a groan as she opened her eyes to see her secret library hideout. A light spell cam into view and caused her to blink. After shooing the spell away she noticed a large lump on her chest under her blankie uhhhh Blanket.

"What the..." She said as she grabbed a corner of the blanket and tossed it to the side. Amity sucked in a breath as the sleeping form of Luz was revealed, she had her arms and legs wrapped around amitys body. 'She's so cute. We have to get up, but whats five more minutes.'

Amity let out a grunt as she felt the spine of the Azura book poke her side. She grunted as she slowly extricated the book from behind her and tossed it lightly away from the bean bag. She looked back to the sleeping girl and moved her hand to Luz's head.

She slowly began to move her hand through Luz's slightly curly hair. It was surprisingly soft and poofy to the touch. It took her a few seconds for Amity to realize that Luz was humming under Amity's touch. She felt her heart melt all over again at the sound.

Amity spun her other hand in a circle to summon her scroll. After a quick unlock she opens the photos app and takes a few pictures of the sleeping human. "If only you knew how much I care for you Luz." She said quietly as she started a summoing spell.

An abomination a few inches tall popped out of the ground and waddled over to the Azura book on the floor before picking it up. it slowly wandered back to Amity before offering her the book. "Thank you Jeff" Amity whispered as she took the book and opened it, beginning to read quietly from a random page.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

About thirty minutes into reading amity felt something tighten arund her chest. She put down her book to see Luz tighten her grip on amitys chest. It looked normal enought except for the look on Luz's face. It was a look of fear and terror. Her face was scrunched up, Amity only got a glimpse before luz buried her face in amitys chest.

"Whats wrong?" She askes quietly while lightly shaking her. "n-no s-stay back" was the only response she got. 'Is she having a nightmare.' Amity thought as she began to put the book down. "Hey can you hear me?" She asked as she cradled the sleeping teen.

All she got back was a moan as the grip on her chest grew tighter. She began to hear a slight hiccuping sound as she felt a wet spot begin to form on her chest. "Hey, I need you to wake up, Its just a dream." She said as she began to gently shake Luz awake.

"w-whats going on, w-where am I?" Luz said as she began too look at her surroundings. she than looked at how tightly she was holding Amity, She blushed but only loosened her grip instead of letting go. "Hey are you ok, It looked like you had a nightmare".

"I-I- I was having a nightmare." She said as she started to wipe her tears. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked as she cupped Luz's cheek silently and wiped her tears using her thumb. It took amity 20 seconds to realize what she was doing and turn as red as a Vampmato.

Amity wquickly looked away so she missed Luz blush in return. "Umm, If you want to listen I think I could." Amity gave a nod in response as she drew her hand away from Luz's face. Luz breathed in and out before gripping some of the blaket.

"I-I was back at Belos's castle. He uhh He had all my friends chained in a sitting position. And one bye one petrified and broke the stone statues of them. He-He ended with you Amity, Thats the one that broke me, It was wh-when he broke you. And th-then he started to come towards me."

"Oh my Titan, That sounds horrible. Im sorry you had to go through that."

"That wasnt even the worst part. The worst part was when you shattered. Everything below the neck broke almost immediately, allowing your head to fall in slow motion. I watched as cracks slowly spiderwebbed accross your face before it all broke apart and turned into an unrecogniseable pile of stone. The worst part was when I realized I would never be able to see you again, never be able to talk to you again."

"That sounds horrible." Amity said before doing something she rarely did. She surged forward and wrapped Luz in her embrace. She hugged Luz, And she hugged like there was no tomorrow. Amity barely hugged anyone, She barely huggerd her friends and she hugged her family even less. 

Amity silently poured all her caring for Luz into one hug. She silently told Luz that she would always be here, that she would never leave her. She did her best to show how much affection she had for the girl. "Im your friend Luz, and I will always be your friend. no matter what luz I will stand bye you." Amity said as she felt the girl in her arms melt into her.

"Listen Luz, I wanna get your mind off of this dream, so how about you help me with my puzzle box?" She asked as they seperated and looked at each other. Amity looked down and took Luz's shaking hands in her own while she waited for a response.

"I-I think that would be a good idea" Luz said in response as Amity nodded before spinning her finger in the air. A small purple vortex appeard that Amity then reached her hand through before begining to fish for the familiar ornate wood box. Once her fingers brushed the box she grabbed it and pullled it through the portal.

Amity almost immideatley showed the box to Luz, who held her hands out to hold it. She obliged and put the box in the girls hands. The second it came in contact with Luz the raised pattern of circles and lines on the four sides and the symbol on top glowed a bright purple before purple energy flowed into Amity and Luz.

A loud sucking noise was heard as the box raised up and began to spin, wind riped through the room creating a vortex with Luz and Amity in the center. The winds picked up and pulled books and other items into the vortex. The box floated down till it was eye height with the two. A panel opened one each side to reveal a swirling gold vortex. 

The two girls shared one last look before getting pulled in.
