Something to Prove (Golden Guard x reader)

23.) It's Time To Go

  "I apologize for walking off," He walks back in and I try to distance myself from
him. "I'm glad I never have to see Kikimora again."

  "You have a dead body in here." I clear my throat awkwardly. I can't help it, I can still smell and see it.

  "Of course, she'd mess up such a simple task." He reveals Luz in the bubble, totally still. "But I am glad to see you, my fellow humans. What, no fight left? Or did you learn your lesson from last time?"

  "You wish." She turns around confidently. She inhales and uses an invisibility glyph.

  "OH SHIT," I shout and Luz then appears behind Belos, which he sees.

  "Spicy toss!"Releases a wave of flames toward Belos but he deflects it with his staff.

  "Of course not." He sighs.

  "I guess this is the new plan," I mumble and pull my staff out. I spin it around to look cool before pointing it at him.

  "Would you two let me explain?" He groans while dodging both of our attacks.

  "No!" We shout at the same time.

  "You want to kill a bunch of people!" I yell before sending fire his way that he quickly cuts off.

  "Our friends and family!" Luz grunts and nearly takes his head off with ice.

  "Those witches are not your friends and family." He gets angrier.

  "Didn't ask." I laugh and even catch Luz give a small laugh.

  "I need to check on the eclipse but keep tiring yourselves, this works better for me." He says smugly while walking off.

  "You distract him and I'll attack from behind." She whispers to me.

  "And how do I do that?" I ask.

  "Pretend you want to talk. You know, Steven Universe him. And while you do that, I'll ice him up." She says nervously.

  "Scared?" I ask sympathetically.

  "I don't want to die." She shrugs with an uneasy grin.

  "You won't," I assure her. "To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die." I sing quietly to make her smile.

  "I love you." She says before activating an invisibility glyph.

  "I love you too," I say quietly even though I don't know where she is.

  "The spell has been activated, now we can finally get home." He announces and I feel sick to my stomach. The spell has been activated.

  "We uh...we need to talk." I try to say sternly but my voice is shaky.

  "About what?" He says, annoyed.

  "This, the spell. This is wrong, how do you not see that?" I ask.

  "Witches are servants of the devil, they are evil and deserve to be wiped out." He explains.

  "No one deserves to be wiped out. These people have families and lives. They aren't that different from humans. But you can change this, all of this! You can make it better, you can fix this. Stop the draining spell and we can find the root of your problem." I ramble.

  "The root? What could possi-"

  "Deez nuts!" Luz shouts and sends the ice but he blocks it and tosses Luz away. She nearly hits the ground but activates a safety hover glyph and runs away, avoiding Belos' attack. I try to wrap him in vines but it's no use, he's too powerful for just the two of us.
