Chapter 11: I Was a Teenage Abomination ( Part 6 )
The two girls and Nightbitter cub ran to the central atrium with the baby trash slug riding on Amora's shoulder, but all the doorways were still being sealed off, then shadows fell over them, causing them to turn and gasp when they saw Principal Bump directing abominations towards them. They ran for a bit before they hid behind a pillar.
Willow: Oh, this is awful. ( Sinks to the ground ) I don't know what to do. Amity's right. I'm just Half-a-Witch Willow.
Amora and her critters looked at Willow with worry and concern, and Amora took a few seconds to think of how to cheer her friend up until an idea came to her head.
Amora quickly took out her teddy bear from her backpack and held it up to Willow before speaking in a squeaky high pitched voice while moving the teddy bear's arms a little, seemingly making it look like the bear was talking.
Amora: ( To Willow, in a high pitched, squeaky voice: ) No, you're not. Bearie says that you are Full-Witch Willow because of how great you are. And someone once told Amie and I that great witches are resourceful. So let's be resourceful! ( Normal voice, with a nervous smile: ) Let me see if there's anything in my backpack we could use.
Willow chuckled a little as Amora began pulling out the contacts of one of her backpack's pockets, taking out the slime ball she'd had found earlier and Amora was about to empty another pocket when Willow spoke up as she picked up the slime ball.
Willow: That's it!
Amora: A greasy slime ball? Well, I mean, supposedly could use it as a projectile if-
Willow: Amora, it's a seed! Thank goodness you had it on you.
Amora: ( with a warm smile: ) Yeah. ( Holds her teddy bear " Bearie " up and spoke in a high-pitched, squeaky voice: ) Thank goodness someone told us to hold onto it or we would be as doomed as a polar bear on a floating iceberg.
Willow and Amora both laughed for a few seconds before Willow puts the seed on her lap and traced a magic circle over it. Knight and the baby trash slug watched in awe.
Willow: Please grow!
Thorny vines then grew out from the seed, reaching to the ceiling. Amora then used her hands to try to cover both Knight and the baby trash slug's eyes from seeing the thorny vines stab through the abominations before they eventually targeted Principal Bump after the vines covered the entire school, sending Bump to the ceiling and pinned him there. Amora then slowly uncovered the two critters' eyes when the lights sealing off the hallways faded away.
Amora: Come on, let's get to the exit before some other kind of craziness happens.
Amora then put her stuff back into her backpack and picked Knight up as Willow puts the seed down on the ground before they started making their way to the exit. They then stopped in place when they see Amity blocking their way. Amora's eyes widened slightly as the green haired witch glared at them with rage and slight desperation in her eyes, the human girl seemed to recognize the slight look of desperation in Amity's eyes while Willow gasped and the two critters glared back at Amity.
Amity: Not so fast! I'm not letting you get away so easily. I want my badge! Abominations, seize!
An abomination then appeared behind Willow and Amora. Knight quickly jumped out of Amora's arms and began angrily attacking the abomination, while Amora stood in front of Willow and looked around to see any clear path of freedom for them, but she only saw that more abominations had formed around them, causing Willow to become scared and Amora was starting to panic until she accidentally locked eyes with Amity and once again saw that small look of desperation in the witch's eyes, then an idea came to the human's head and it caused a burst of courage to form within her as she let out a shout at the top of her lungs.
Amora: ( shouts: ) WAIT!!!
The two witch girls, the abominations, and the Nightbitter cub then stopped what they were doing, Willow and Knight looked at the human girl with shock while Amity looked at Amora with confusion as Amora walked to Willow and carefully removed the badge from her uniform without damaging said uniform, causing Willow and the two critters to look at Amora with confusion.
Willow: Amora, what are you-
Amora: The badge is meaningless for you because you don't need it to show how amazing and powerful you are, but...
Amora turns to Amity with a understanding look, and she holds the badge out to the bully, showing a spark of kindness that shocked and confused Amity.
Amora: ( to Amity, with understanding: ) But it has a meaning of importance to you... Doesn't it? Even though it's just a tiny piece of metal. But... I understand that you might not want to talk about it, especially to me, a complete stranger, but... in some way, I understand how you feel, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't show others kindness.
Amora then tossed the badge to Amity, who caught it and looked at the girl with complete confusion before she glared at Amora.
Amity: I don't know what you are talking about! You're not getting away!
The abominations then began staggering closer to Willow, Amora, and the two critters, causing the baby trash slug to let out a small whine of fear.
Amora: Oh, dear.
Willow then traced out a large magic circle, causing vines to trap the approaching abominations.
Willow: ( to Amora: ) Get outta here!
Amora: No! I can't just leave you here.
Willow: I may get detention, but you'll get dissected, Amora.
The abominations trapped in the vine then melted through said vines, and reformed before they started staggering towards the two girls and two critters.
Willow: So, go!
Willow then summoned two vines with a wave of her hand, and it carried Amora and the two critters over the abominations and out the door. The doors then slammed shut as soon as Amora, Knight, and the baby trash slug were outside.
Amora: Willow! Don't worry, I'm going to get help!
Amora then picked Knight up and ran off with the Nightbitter cub in her arms and the baby trash slug on her shoulder.
As soon Amora got to the Owl house and saw Eda & King outside the house with a spilled barrel of salt on the ground. Amora quickly stopped in her tracks a few feet away from them and put Knight on the ground when she saw the spilled barrel. Eda and King looked at the baby trash slug on Amora's shoulder with widened eyes, and the trash slug looked back at them with confusion as it had no clue why the witch and skull head demon was looking at it with slight fear.
Amora: Goodness gracious. What happened to you two while I was gone?
Eda: Uhh.... Nothing crazy. What's with the baby trash slug?
Amora: That's not important right now, my new friends are in danger and need help!-
Willow: ( off-screen: ) Amora!
Amora then turned around and was quickly hugged by Willow and Gus, and Amora happily returned the hug without flinching.
Amora: Oh thank goodness! You're okay!
Eda: Seriously, what is that?
Willow and Gus then let go of Amora when the baby trash slug let out a cute little hiss, but that didn't stop Willow from looking at Amora with a smile.
Willow: You won't believe it, Amora. Everything is perfect now.
Amora: You might be right, as I am confused by what you mean.
Willow: Principal Bump was so impressed by my plant work he's switching me to the plant magic track! Look!
Willow then backed away, snaps her fingers, and with a glow of green magic and a twirl, the sleeves and leggings of her uniform go from magenta to green. Amora then hugged Willow again with a huge smile, causing Willow to giggle while the baby trash slug to make a cute grumpy face in response.
Amora: That's wonderful, Willow! Wait, what about Amity?
Gus: Last we saw, she was asking Bump if today could count as extra credit.
Amora: Well, hopefully I can apologize to them for the whole craziness the next time I sneak in.
Knight looked at Willow in confusion as Willow winced in response to what Amora said.
Gus: Uh, about that. You're kinda, sorta...banned.
Gus then pulls out and unfurls a poster reading " BANNED " with a picture of Amora covered in Abomination goo under it.
Amora: Oh my-
Eda: ( with a smile: ) That's my girl!
Willow: ( to Amora: ) But we could come here and teach you what we learned.
Amora: Aw, that's very sweet of you, but... ( With a smile as she glanced at Eda: ) I have a pretty amazing teacher already.
Eda: Yeah, that's right. Amore is my student.
Eda then steals the poster, making the three teens laugh.
Eda: ( to Willow and Gus: ) Back off, Academy twerps.
Eda then looked at the poster with a smile.
Eda: Ah, baby's first wanted poster. ( To Amora: ) Good job, kid. ( Gently pats the top of Amora's head ) Looks like I taught you something after all.
Gus: Uh, you high five with your hands, not your head.
Amora and Eda's eyes widened as Gus smiles, but then the baby trash slug cutely hissed at Eda protectively like a little kitten, causing the witch to pull her hand away from Amora.
Eda: ( to Amora, while looking at the baby trash slug: ) You found yourself a spicy one, didn't ya, kid?
Amora: ( chuckles ) Yeah. ( As she gently pets the baby trash slug's head, making the slug purr: ) Acorn here is a sassy one.
Eda: Acorn?
Amora: Yeah, because their size.
Eda: ( under her breath: ) Note to self, use the salt to keep the thing that size so it doesn't destroy the house if the kid overfeeds it.
Gus: Don't you mean he or she? Wait, how do you...
Amora: ( Knowingly: ) Slugs are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive parts. ( With a smile: ) So, I kinda always use They/them pronouns for slugs because they are both male and female.
Gus: Ooh... Cool!
The baby trash slug now known as Acorn nuzzled into Amora's pets with a purr as Amora gave Eda a nervous smile while Knight started giving Eda the puppy dog eyes, and the witch seemed to know what the human and her Nightbitter were asking her.
Eda: ( sighs ) ( to Amora: ) You're lucky that you are so lovable, kid. You can keep the slug, as long as it doesn't cause us any trouble.
Knight barked happily and began jumping on Amora, who giggled and carefully placed Acorn on the ground as she knew what the Nightbitter cub wanted. Knight then licked Acorn's face despite the trash slug giving him a grumpy look, causing everyone to laugh. Amora then looked up from her two critters and looked at Eda, King, and her two new friends for a moment before smiling gratefully with small tears of joy in her eyes.
Amora: ( thoughts: ) I really am free now.
