I'M NOT YOURS TO CONTROL Book 1 (TOH)

Chapter 33: What Now

Luz pov:

Everything was a blur, one moment we were standing outside in the rain and next we were inside, each covered by a thick blanket as we all sat down on the couch, everything  felt so unreal, for a moment I hope all of this was a dream and that in a minute I would wake up inside the owl house or the safe house, watch as hunter played with flapjack or gus, watch willow as she failed to flirt with hunter, or see Hunter and amity argue over stupid shit, but no, this wasn't a dream, hunter's gone I just know it, I can feel it.

My mother and vee came in the room with a first aid kit, bangeding the hurt children as they sat there in their self sorrow,

Willow was first to be fixed up, and when they were done with her, she walked to me, sitting next to me,

" amity... she told me what happened with, hunter, are you positive that he -"

" he's gone willow, do we tell gus?"

" NO... no, he's shouldn't know, not now at least, umm excuse me" Willow stood up and left, walking outside of the door and closing it behind her, she probably went out there to cry, she never cried infront of anyone because she said it made her look weak and that's something she's not anymore, vee came to me and started to fix me up,

" Hey, luz, nice to see you. I wish we were meeting each other official on better terms,"

" yea same, still it's good to see you again. How's the human realm been for you?" I asked her, trying my best to keep my mind away,

" preety good, haven't gotten abducted since the museum guy got arrested,"

" That's good. Guy was a creep, never liked him,"

" Hehe, that makes two of us, alrighty, we're done, you're as good as new,"

" thanks, take good care of my friend gus over there, hes a little fragile right now" I told vee, she shook her head and left, I just sat there, looking around the room, it hasn't changed one bit, camela came from the kitchen and sat next to me hugging me,

" ohh, baby, you okey, how did you guys get these injuries,"

" From a fight, we obviously didn't win."

" Well, at least all of you made it out in one piece."

What she said brought tears to me. She saw this and relieved her error,

" Someone didn't make it?" She asked, I shook my head and covered my eyes. She took me into her arms and cradled me like she did when Papa died,

" I'm so sorry baby, there in a better place now.

-------------------------------------------------

After everyone was fixed up, they were showed to there rooms, all the girls would be staying in mine and well vee room while gus slept on the couch till she could clear the basement for him, willow had came back inside finally, her eyes were all red and her cheeks stained with her tears, I know how much she liked him, maybe if this never happened they could had maybe been together, the things thoes two could had done, it's a shame hunter was too blinded my what was going on to not notice willow, I lead her to her bed, she face planted into the bunk bed she would be staying in,

" Willow, it be okey,"

" whatever you say luz, I'm going to sleep" she responded, taking her glasses off and going to sleep, I quietly left the room and made my way to my mom's room, she was sitting there on her bed, looking at a photo of papa, she noticed me and put it down,

" Come here, sweetie," Camila told me, opening her arms, I walked to her and hugged her,

" I'm so happy you're back, I've missed you deeply,"

" Me too, Mama, me too,"

" Things were never the same when you left, but vees been doing a good job helping me, now your home."

" Yep, home."

But for a strange feeling, this didn't feel like home, not at that moment, it felt like I was in a strangers home, this wasn't my hone for a while, the owl house was my home, and now it's gone, edas probably worried sick, as probably everyone else, no one knows where we're are, absolutely no one.

" I'm gonna go to sleep, night, Mama."

" goodnight sweetie, just know I'm here whenever you need to talk" I nodded my head and left, I didn't go to my room though, I went downstairs and to the front door, walking to the front porch and leaning against the poll, looking up at the stars, thousands of stars were out tonight, tomorrow would be a full moon, tomorrow would be the day of unity, the day when everyone dies by the hands of belos,

" I hope you guys win, we'll try our best to get back, I promise,"
I say to myself,

" And hunter, if you're up there, just know I miss you, hope you're in a better place,"
