The Private Academy: Lumity story

40. thirty four.. (bonus chapter)

(Luzes POV)

So much has happened in life so far rose got with lizzie and it's always the same pattern.. rose returns home from school and lizzie always kisses her outside the door, rose then says

" you know that I love you.. don't you??"

Habitually getting a 'I know' in return then two more kisses as she's halfway in the door. Alex... is seven and already beginning to copy rose's permanently two inch hairstyle... and so in love with lizzie's little sister charlie. A new addition had entered the family.. her name is lexi and she for the most part was planned- the spell backfiring on me though was not. But now I'm a writer! Yayy! But the thing that caused me to become a writer nearly five years ago was not a yay moment.. I can't really explain it in full but amity can

(Amity's POV)

I remember that day so.. clearly- god it scared me so much. It was a rainy autumn day.. sunny in detroit.

~~~~

It'd been easily three hours since Alex and rose had gone to school, so I was left to be alone in the house.. luz had been deployed five months ago to diffuse an ongoing riot about the most recent politics.. the generic- gun use, a molotov or two, lighting everything on fire riot.. many casualties.. and fatalities. Turning on the tv to the YouTube live on the riot, I sigh knowing that it's the only way I can see her. Many other officers had fired rubber bullets at the recorder causing them to retreat a few feet. I scanned the front lines trying to read the patches with last names on them, finally finding 'blight' in the crowd. She walks up to the recorder and says calmly pushing the lens away from her covered face.

"Sir you really shouldn't stand so close.. if this progresses you might get caught in the crossfire- live rounds are involved"

Then walks back to get next to a lieutenant, her eyes within the close up looking firm to hide the fear. Some thirty minutes the squad leader stops all movement as an obvious riot leader says loudly

"I'm willing to compromise!"

Waving luz out weapons hot, she lowers her gun practically disobeying orders. Walking calmly to him she nods to show a sign of respect to his person, not to what he's doing. He nods all the same,

"Look sir.. I know you believe this is- a just punishment. But within the past months you've hurt many men, women AND children! You can express yourself that is your civil rights- freedom of speech. But now due to your fatalities it is considered a terrorist act. I ask you- not as an officer.. as a PERSON. A wife and a mother of three girls.. please stand down."

His face gets angry causing luz to back up, he suddenly asks insulted

"A terrorist act?? Terrorist act?! You know nothing of terrorism"

She goes to raise her weapon but not realizing what happened, her entire left side jerks backwards when two rounds are fired to her chest the second.. penetrating the bullet proof vest. The sound registers three gunshots as luz grips her chest and pulls down her mask to get fresh air. Being caught by two other officers before she hits the ground they drag her carefully to the back.. where she just.. laid. Guns go off safety and are fired at the rioters.

I thought she was just.. I thought she was okay. Until her squad leader shows up at my door saying they pronounced her dead. Walking into the hospital escorted by the two officers that drug her away, I see her laying on that hospital bed pale. The monitor suddenly starts up a half hour later.. slowly. Smiling when she weakly opens her eyes I murmur,

"Hey.. welcome back to life.."

Resting my forehead on hers I close my eyes tightly... the doctor said that the bullets trajectory was the weirdest thing he'd ever seen- it was like a ball bouncing in a pinball machine. Completely missing her heart despite the entry wound, going through the corner of her lung which somehow healed not even ten minutes later, and completely missing all and any bones in the way.. her shoulder however- had to get reconstructed at the cartilage.. slightly major shattering but completely torn tendons. Her shoulder though fully capable of painless movement is now halfway metal. She was given by her captain a medal having her injury made all the rioters turn on their leader for fatally injuring- and I quote.. the only nice "serviceman" within the entire riot squad, and was given upon request full retirement. I was.. so glad- luz however.. was not. Chuckling softly once we were alone she says in a near whisper

" I suppose the spell worked.."

Then the odd injury in her chest made perfect sense...
_______

So.. that's the story. It was very painful- I remember each bullet entering my body, but I was beginning to fade as I realized I was breathing blood while I was getting dragged. But it was still terrifying.
But despite the- angst. I REALLY need to tell you all about lexi. She has a lighter toned skin than rose and alex with amity's light brown hair. But with my purplish brown at the roots, she inherited her grandma lia's blue eyes and my obvious freckles. She has half witch ears like rose aswell... she's as stunning as amity- and I love that.. hell I love my entire family.. especially my nephew's nate and justin.. who are the cutest half basilisk five year olds ever. I'm glad life took its turns and twists.. it's brought a paradise. So.. uh- jeez it's hard to say goodbye to all of the readers.. you've endured EIGHTEEN years of my life- and I don't know who is attached or who isn't.. or who's in between. But it was great to know you read about me...

Thank you.. and goodbye .
