You hardly get any sleep that night.

Ok that's a lie.

You don't get any sleep.

So many thoughts are running through your brain.

You're a wanted criminal now.

You betrayed the emperor's coven!

You betrayed your best friend.

But.. maybe there's still some hope.

You look over the letter he sent you.

He wants to talk.

He wants to hang out with you still..

You put on a sweater and shorts that Luz gave you before heading downstairs.

The game is in 30 minutes.

"Hey, kid." You turn and see Eda sitting on a couch.

"Luz told me about your curse. Here." She tosses you a bottle of elixir and you quickly drink it.

"Thank you-" you stutter.

"Of course. Listen I know how much curses suck. But hey, now we can work together to find a cure! The elixirs work fine but that won't always be the case for you. But because you're only... what... 16? 17? You might be able to get rid of the curse." Eda says, smiling a bit.

You smile weakly back, looking towards the door.

"Going somewhere?" She asks.

".... No. I think I'm gonna rest up today." You turn back to Eda.

This will be a fresh start.

It hurts you to just stand up Hunter like that but... it's for the best.

He said it himself,

You're not friends.

A week later:

You're sitting in your room, reading a book Luz gave you. The Good Witch Azura.

You've gotten used to living in the owl house pretty quickly.

Luz is still a bit weary around you but forgave you pretty quickly.

Lilith and Eda have been learning how to use glyphs.

You can't help but wonder if those could be a magic alternative for Hunter....

No. You need to stop thinking about him.

No matter how hard you try to move on you can't help but miss your friendship with Hunter.

No doubt he hates you now.

Suddenly your door bursts open.

"This is my friend Y/n! She's a very powerful and strong witch, even though she's only 16! She used to be a member of the emperor's coven, but she left them to come stay with us! She has a curse like Eda though, but we're working hard to cure it!" Luz points her phone at you and you awkwardly wave.

She then leaves you room and you continue reading.

Must be another video to her mom.

You can't help but wonder how she must feel being trapped in another world with no way home.

"Kids!" Eda yells from outside.

You open the window and look down, setting your book to the side.

"Time to bring these bad boys to the market!" Eda raises a bottle with a demon inside.

You head downstairs with Luz and walk outside.
