It can't be us-Lumelia

7.

             OLD LOVE

"How are you doing honey?"
Odalia asked as she walked into her daughter's room, without knocking or thinking about her daughter's personal life. The older woman could just walk and go as she pleased. Amelia had just hid her diary, when she had heard her mother walk in the hallway. One thing that was good about her horrible mother was that she wore heels, which made it easier to hear her coming from afar.

"I'm good mother, thanks for asking."The youngest blight answered, forcing a smile. Odalia smiled, clapping lightly with her hands. "That's good, mittens. I'm so happy we finally found someone fitting for you my dear." The older woman spoke, making Amelia want to puke. But all she needed to do was act, something she was really good at.
"And Nico is such a stunning man. He treats you well."

Amelia nodded, forcing another smile. She wanted this conversation to end, so she could finish up her make up on her wrists, that were still bruised from the time she got forces back here. Nico luckily didn't hurt her anymore, and held his deal to not tell her mother. Even if Odalia saw her bruises, she guessed she wouldn't really care either.

"I have some..things to plan for the wedding. I was wondering...if uh...you knew where Edric and Emira are? If so, please send them to my room."
Odalia didn't look suspicious at all, and dusted herself as she pushed herself off of Amelia's bed. Which she might as well just wash later this evening.

"Yes of course, dear. Anything to get this marriage on top!"

As Odalia walked out of her room, she quickly walked over to her door, shut it and locked it. She then walked over to where she had hid her diary in a hurry, getting down on her knees, and screwed a small little door that was behind her chest of childhood things. Memories came back to her as she screwed open the small door and pushed her diary inside. Her and Boscha had made that door back when they were kids.

Her heart ached at the memory, she had just gotten her closest friend back, and it all came back crumbling into pieces, she didn't even get the chance to talk to Boscha about really happened back those years.
Four knocks were heard from someone knocking lightly on her door. It was Emira and Edric. The green haired witch rushed over to unlock the door, letting them in and locking it right away, pulling both her older siblings away from the door in the middle of her giant room.

"Hey Ams..." Emira spoke, giving her a small smile. "Look, I know me and Edric has done a lot of shit, but the reason we did it was because so we all could be distracted from our real—messed up reality..." Emira stopped as Amelia finally smiled to them for the first time in forever.
"I've missed you guys.." she admitted, her heart aching as she saw her brother beginning to tear up, attacking her in a hug, and it ended up in all of them hugging each other.
"Missed you too mittens—we mean Ams"

"I forgive you guys, we have a lot to catch up on from these long months without talking. I need to reach out to Lucia."
"Who?" Edric questioned, pulling up and eyebrow, as all of them sat down on the younger sibling's bed,
"Lucia, the human."
"You've been with a human the time you've been gone?" Emira asked, her mouth wide open, which Edric pushed her chin up to shut her shocked expression. "We're listening, go on." Edric nodded, getting a soft smile in return.

Amelia chuckled, smiling weakly at the thought of Lucia. They had so many good memories together, even though they have only know each other for many weeks, even a month or so. She had lost count.

"Me and Lucia met when I ran away, and it was the only restaurant that had lights on. So, we met there. And we just clicked right away. She showed me this type of love that I have never experienced, and made me have feelings that I have never felt before. I was even dumb enough to not even notice she liked me. But she did. And before I got back here...I was going to ask what we were..." she stopped, closing her eyes to let the tears that itched her eyes fall.

"If it could be us. But I won't ever get to know that now, because I'm stuck here...Nico found me, he beat me up in the bathroom, and he forced me to give me his phone. I tried I fight him, I did! But I was to weak. And he must have sent a message to her, and I don't know what that is, I need to reach her. But I don't have my phone and..." Amelia blurted out of this out, crying as she held a grip around her legs.

"HE FUCKING BEAT YOU UP!?" Emira yelled, then lowered down, hissing. They would just make it worse for their sister if someone heard them.
"We saw that Nico was not good for you, and we hate mom for everything she has done. We tried to do something, scare him off, even threaten. But nothing worked on him." Edric explained, both of her siblings looking at her concerned.

"We will help you. But I don't think writing a message will help. But it's an open day, for this masquerade ball, everyone can attend it, and we can try and convince Lucia to come, so you guys can talk. And we will tell her what's going on." Emira spoke. "I will go find your phone, read the messages and I will talk to Lucia. How does that sound?" Emira spoke softly, less more serious this time and placed a comforting hand on top of her little sister's shoulder, who made eye contact with them again.

"Mhm, that sounds like a good idea. No matter what he had messaged her, I bet it's very bad. And she wouldn't believe me if it came from me i guess." The younger sniffles, her eyes stinging from all the crying.
"Well, maybe not now, but she probably will at the masquerade ball if I can at least convince her a little."

Amelia nodded and attacked her sister in a hug, crying some more. "I love you, both, so much. Thank you for being here by my side. It just took me a long time to realise..." she sobbed. Emira hushed and hummed the same sweet melody she used to sing for Amelia when she was younger, as she rocked her back and forth. That's the same thing Lucia did, but Amelia tried to push Lucia away for now, taking in all the real love she could receive.

"Edric..." she spoke hoarsely, still clung into her sisters arms. "I love you..."
"I love you too sis." He smiled, his eyes still filled with tears as he also gave his younger sister a hug,

"How about me and Em sleep over? We haven't had sleep over in so long." The dark green headed man suggested. The other nodded and looked down at their sister. "What do you say? Is that okay for you?"
Amelia nodded and lied in the middle of the bed, Em lying on the right and Ed on the left like they used to back as kids.

"What movie should we watch?"

"How about...The bad guys? On Netflix?" Amelia suggests, smiling like a silly kid.
"The one with the wolf?" Ed asked.
"Yeah!"
"Me and Ed haven't watched it. So why not?" Em smiled and the three siblings back together, taking in the warmth of peace now that they could.

Half way through the movie, both Ed and Amelia were fast asleep. Em blinked tiredly, let the movie continue on. She pushed herself up, and grabbed her phone, and snuck out of the bedroom. Determined to find her little sister's phone. With an invisibility spell she snuck into Nico's bedroom and looked through every drawer, even under the pillow's. She opened her messages app, sent Amelia a text, luckily the bastard didn't carry it with him and she found it inside the pillow cover and quickly snuck out and slipped her way back to Amelia's room.

She checked her sister's phone and the messages that the bastard sent were horrible.

She was going to convince the human somehow.
