I want her back

chapter nine

As Luz and king fell to the floor catching their breath luz sat up looking around as the collector appeared in front of her with the wide grin on his face "your it!" luz faked her laugh "you caught me!" king looked back at luz "hey collector we should play a new game" he looked at them with one eye open arms crossed "is it fun?" "Yes! It's super fun" "we will tell you all about it if you give us a break?" "... For how long?" "Twenty minutes? To prepare for the epic game we'll play" "finee but only twenty!" The two ran somewhere seeing the floating cubes luz grabbed one and whispered "Amity blight" it shows the witch laying on the ground arms wrapped around herself loss of hope in her eyes filled with tears as she was shivering "luz.. I'm so sorry... I let you down..... I couldn't protect king.." "Or you..." Clutching onto her sleeves sobbing luz shows up in the reflection of the near by water "Amity! It's not your fault" amity quickly sat up going to the water "luz!" "Luz are you okay!?" Luz smiles weakly at her "oh I've missed you so much Hermosa I'm okay" "Luz..! I swear I'll find a way to get you back.." luz's heart aches seeing her girlfriend so stressed out and depressed "..I'm sure you will batata but please take care of yourself.? For me? I'm okay I can hang on but you won't be able to hold on in your condition" amity cursed under her breath her nails digging in the grass she badly wanted to hold Luz to have her in her arms in her comfort to hold her tightly and never let go. Oh titan she missed it,

Amity sighs with a shaky breath "since you're here do you need me to do anything?" "So you know about that one section that's closed off in the library? Maybe you could find something there on the collector or anywhere that has any kind of information on the collector I trust you even if you don't get the information today or tomorrow" amity nods taking mental notes " I will Luz.! But where are you??"
"I don't know I'm in my mind in a way I don't know where my body is." She mutters
Luz looks at amity and smiles "..I know this sounds cheesy or something.. but you are just so beautiful. I love you mi amor"
Amity gave a weak smile "it's not cheesy batata. I love you too" they looked at each other with longing and love in their gaze being separate was killing them for such a long time longer then two days Luz snaps back to the harsh situation she's in "I'll contact you when I can be sure to have a mirror or something so I can" "mhm..! I'll be sure.." as luz's reflection disappeared amity finds her way back to the hidden shelter to tell everyone the news.
As she enters she sees everyone planning and unpacking their findings "guys.! Luz contacted me" hunter Lilith eda Willow and Gus looked at her "how??" Hunter asked "I'm not quite sure but she used the reflection to see me and talk to me. She said she was trapped in her mind or something but she told me to find some information on the collector no matter how long it took"

Lilith spoke up "Eda we should try and secretly contact raine they know where the ancient scrolls are and have been doing research on ancient history" eda spoke up "what makes you think they'll help us" Lilith then added "them along with Darius and Amber wolf they were forming a secret alliance against the emperor they would often have me hide the scrolls as they took care of other things. I'm bringing it up now since I wasn't sure how you were going to feel about it at first but I figured this is very important information" eda thinks "okay but how do we send a message out?" "Maybe we could send a palisman?" Gus said "we're going to have to send one that won't be recognized"  "we can send mine" hunter said knowing he always kept flapjack hidden "flapjack came from a place where there are forgotten palisman"
They begin planning out their ideas and backup plans in case the idea did go wrong and what they would do well Amity told them everything from their conversation now needing to be able to get a hold of her sister to sneak into the library and find information knowing how sneaky and clever emira can be

"So while that's happening I'm going to see if my siblings can sneak in the library and find some information for us" "good idea we're going to have to use every resource try and find out as much as we can about the collector even find a weakness"
They are nod agreeing with the plan knowing they needed to take action one way or another

As Luz and king at on the ground The collector walks around them padding their heads "duck... Duck..." The collector says helping this game will keep him occupied for a while knowing he's just a child and suggesting games from the human realm would keep him occupied since the collector seems to be very interested in human stuff ".. duck..duck..GOOSE" The collector laugh as king got up and chased him while Luz watched "yeah you got this!" She cheered as The collector quickly sat down in Kings spot now it was King's turn
"Duck.. duck.. GOOSE" Luz got up and started chasing him around the small godchild to which king quickly sat down in her spot now it was luz's turn she circled around them as the game continued on to which it went on for about 30 minutes surprisingly before suggesting a new game and continuing to play that
In the back of her mind she prays that they don't get caught that nothing bad happens to her loved ones probably see herself that she should check in on them also praying that they find information even if it was a little bit she feel anything could help her situation to understand the collector more
Hours and hours past of playing games telling stories running around and goofing off before they got tired suddenly they were back into reality The collector took over her body again as he picked up King "it's time for bed now" he said as he float up in the air and heads to a comfortable room setting King down "king can you read me a story?" He asked as a giant book came out of nowhere made of Stone King looked at it it was taller than both of them he's size and agreed as he pushed the book over and turn the pages as it all fell down to the ground with a heavy thud and then he began reading

After he read for what felt like 3 minutes he turns to see that the collector have fallen asleep still being in luz's body knowing that he will leave soon as soon as he sets The collector free and Luz will be free too and hopefully after that they can find a way to make everything back to normal like it once was before the collector showed up

Emira and Edirc snuck around at midnight using their magic to get by without getting caught they enter in a closed-off area filled with books locked away scrolls hidden from the public as they began searching but they had help with them bringing along skara viney jerbo matt Willow and gus came along as well secretly as they walked around looking for anything to help even if it's little information hours passed they came across three books containing little information
