Luz's POV;

"Kid!? Kid!?!?"

Eda's voice was really getting faint as I continued to cough before finally puking out.

Looking down, there was red on the floor.

"For the love of titans!! Luz, what's wrong!? Luz!"

Wincing, I wheezed out for air before coughing more.

Something's choking me.

Someone's... Gripping my throat.

Heaving, Eda's hands were becoming faint to the touch behind my back.

I can't hear her words anymore.

[Snap out of it.]

Groaning, I hissed while trying to pry nothing around my neck.

[You have to save her, you damn fool!]

Save?? Save who!?

I wheezed, gasping for air, I feel like I'm going to die once again.

[Save her!!!]

Suddenly, everything became numb and I gasped sharply for air.

Breathing heavily yet uncontrollably, I rushed back to my footing and ran to the darkest corner.

As soon as I was somewhere else, everything I saw was dark.

I could hear someone.

Two people.

"H... Help..!"

My eyes widened over the familiar voice.

Rushing, I saw her and immediately grabbed her out of his hold.

"Amity." I said while holding her close.

She was gasping for air when I got her in my hold.

"Luz..?"

Her words felt heavy as I knelt on both knees helping her a bit to keep a steady breathing.

"It's alright, what happened? I'm here." I began while trying to understand what the situation was all about.

[You're forgetting she sent you a distressed calling. If she hadn't connected through your vital pain. You wouldn't have been able to know she was going to die.]

My eyes widened as I caressed her cheek.

Looking up, I stared up at Michael.

This damn brat... I'll kill him...

[Don't do it.]

I'll kill him!

[Don't do it, Luz...]

I sighed and held Amity closer.

Her hold was tighter than any clutching I've felt from enemies before me.

"Luz... Luz, I'm scared."

Her crying was painful to hear.

"It's fine, don't worry." I reassured her as Michael walked passed us and walked out of the darkroom.

Amity was still crying.

"Ed and Em... They won't wake up..."

I raised a brow and looked around.

I could faintly see two other bodies from afar in the darkness.

Drawing a light spell, it was the twins.

Damnit..! I swear I'll really kill him!

[If you do so, you'll be facing his parents who are in supposed mind, more 'dangerous' than him because of the Emperor, do not engage in such danger just now while you haven't gotten any acquaintance of the Emperor, Luz.]

Screw it! I don't care what you say or what you tell me not to do around that damn bastardized witch!!

[And I don't care if you listen to me or not at the moment as those two are going to die sooner or later if you don't get to them.]

What!? What are you talking about!?

[Poison, you idiot, such poison in their body could soon reach their heart and all will be over before anybody can know about it.]

[Now get over there and leave Amity be for a moment to help them, this is a warning, not a demand.]
