Chapter 15: Cat Scratch
It's been a few minutes of peaceful silence as Luz and Amity remained on the couch, just enjoying their embrace as the curse cat girl changed her position. From sitting on Luz's lap to curling up and having her head on Luz's lap, Amity purred contently as Luz awe's at her cuteness.
'She's might be as cute as King, maybe cuter.' Luz thought as she rubbed Amity's head, feeling her tail sway next to her. 'Even her new little tail is cute!'
As Luz and Amity enjoyed their peace on the couch, Eda continued to watch them from the kitchen as she was making breakfast for 4 now. King was currently sleeping on the table as he waited for Eda to finish, though Eda was more concerned with Amity's condition than breakfast.
'How the heck was she born with this curse? I know for a fact the Blights wouldn't let someone get a lucky shot at them, so how did their kid get cursed?' Eda thought as she removed the wooden spoon from the caldron, tapping the handle on her chin.
Some knocks on the door draw everyone's attention before Hooty opened up to reveal...
"Ding dong! Friends are here to visit! Hoot!" He said, waking King up, as Gus and Willow were standing outside of the door.
"Guys!" Luz said with surprise, wondering why her friends were here this early in the morning.
"Hi, Luz. Sorry to drop in bu-" Willow stopped mid-sentence as she and Gus walked in on a familiar yet strange sight. "Amity?!"
Right there on the couch, laying on Luz's lap was Amity once again but this time she was VERY nails were sharper, her ears had green and brown hair on them, and she had a TAIL!
"Hmm?" Amity let out as she look to Willow, revealing her new cat like eyes.
"What the heck is going on? Is her condition getting worse?" Gus asked as he and Willow rushed towards them.
Amity didn't flinch at them, recognizing them as friends, as she went back to curling up on Luz's lap as the human looked to them nervously.
"Yes? But I confident Eda can help her." Luz said before changing the subject. "Anyway, you guys were saying why you were dropping in this early?"
Glancing to Amity one more time, Willow and Gus put their worry aside for a moment as the illusion prodigy pulled something out of his pocket.
"Anyway, the reason why we came over this early is because I found some possible human items and I need you to confirm it for us." Gus said before he put the objects in the coffee table.
Looking down to the objects on the table, Luz can confirm without a doubt they were human items. They were simple items but they each held a significant use. One was a roll of black electric, used to insulate wires back home; the other was a small finger clipper, which was self explanatory; and finally...
"Hey, a laser pointer!" Luz said with a smile as she picked up the third object.
"A laser pointer? That's what that is?" Willow asked in confusion.
"Yeah. Mostly they're used to point at things in presentation of the room is dark enough but they've been used for other things too." Luz said as King walked over to her.
"Like what?" He asked her as Luz began to show them.
"If they have the right parts, it can also count as a flashlight but it can also be used for this." Luz said as she pointed to the wall and turned on the laser pointer.
Watch in curiosity, a small red dot formed on the wall before Luz moved it around slowly to show that she was controlling it.
"That's it? It summons a tiny red light fairy?" King asked as he went toward it. "What purpose does this serve? It can be crush so easily? Like this."
King moved to "crush" the "fairy" with his paw before moving away to see it was perfectly fine!
"Huh? I thought I crushed you!" King shouted as he crushed it again but it wasn't crushed! "Nyeh! Just die!"
While the little demon was trying to crush the little nuisance, Luz was giggling a bit as she made the "fairy" move around the room as King gave chance!
"So...hehe...a laser pointer is use to distract demons?" Willow asked with a chuckle, finding this funny.
"Actually, it's meant for pets but small demons work too, just don't let it get in your eye." Luz said as Gus was writing this information down.
"Why not?" Gus asked her.
"There's a chance it'll make you go blind in that eye." Luz said as she kept playing with King, missing Gus and Willow jolt at the mention of losing an eye.
As Luz kept playing with King using the laser pointer, Amity opened her eyes and wonder why the head patting had stopped
'Luz?' She thought a she looked up, seeing Luz wasn't paying attention to her anymore.
Looking to where Luz was paying attention, Amity saw that the little demon was chasing after a strange dot. A strange,...enticing,...shiny...red dot. Once again, her instincts spoke and told Amity to go after the red dot and catch it!
"Meow." Amity meowed as she jumped after the dot, surprising Luz, Willow, and Gus as she began grasping at the dot!
"Amity?!" They said as King looked towards her, missing Eda coming into the room.
"Ah! A fellow fairy destroyer, excellent! Come, comrade! We shall vanquish it together!" King cheered as they attacked.
"What...the heck is going on?" Eda asked in shock!
"I don't know but I'll stop it!" Luz said as she clicked the laser pointer to turn it off, but it didn't turn off.
Luz tried again and again but I still wouldn't turn off! It was broken, and now Luz was struggling to fix it while Amity kept following the red dot.
"Luz! Turn it off!" Willow said in a hurry, rushing to grab Amity!
"I'm trying!" Luz said as she shook the laser pointer, making the dot move to the ceiling.
Looking up to the ceiling, Amity felt even more determined to catch it as her claws extended from her fingers and her feet through her shoes! Amity jumped into the wall and clunk to it as she climbed after the dot, leaving deep marks and scratches as Hooty began flinching in pain outside!
"AAAH! MY INSIDES!" He screamed in pain!
"My house!" Eda screamed in pain, hating that Amity was wrecking her walls more than hurting Hooty! "That's it! I am getting her off my walls!"
Marching over to Amity, Eda grabbed her by her legs and pulled to get her off! Too bad Amity clung onto the walls tightly as she growled at Eda!
"Reow!" She screamed at Eda!
"I don't care if you're don't want to get down, you're coming down!" Eda shouted at her.
This was the new center of attention as Luz stopped with the button and watched with everyone the two cursed witches had the world's strangest tug-of-war. Eda lost her grip a few times as she managed to pull Amity's shoes off to reveal her claws feet before she grabbed her legs again! Eventually Amity got free abs continued to climb after the red dot, which was now pointed directly at the ceiling!
"Not so face! You do not touch the mural!" Eda said as she turned to Luz, drawing a spell circle.
A glow washed over the pointer before it suddenly moved out of Luz's hand and exploded into pieces, turning off the laser for good!
"No!" Gus screamed at the lose of the human item.
He may not be in the Human Appreciation Society anymore but Gus was still a fanboy for human culture. Feeling the sway of dot vanish from her eyes, Amity came back to her senses as she shook her head.
"Huh?" She blink as her eyes returned to normal, her claws retracting from the ceiling as she fell. "Aaaah!"
Luckily for her, Eda moved to catch her but her arm was off as Amity landed on top of her big, bushy hair. This made Luz, Willow, Gus, and King laugh until she picked Amity off her head.
"Note to self and a note to you kid, stay away from shiny, red things." Eda said before she turned to the others. "And you four better knock of that laughing or you'll end up cleaning Hooty."
This got everyone to stop laughing as they knew how HORRIBLE washing Hooty and the house was. That would only end in nightmares for days.
"Good." Eda said as she moved to hold Amity under her arm, somehow holding her gently as Amity felt herself...melt into the embrace.
"Mmm." Amity hummed as she smiled a tiny bit, leaning to rub her head against the older witch as Eda looked confused by this. "Prrrrr."
'Again? What is it about me that this kid likes?' Eda thought as Luz awed at them.
"Looks like Amity likes you, Eda." She said with her hands together.
"Well...I guess she does but... I still wonder why." Eda said as she gave Amity a soft smile, scratching her left ear as the cat girl purred louder at Eda.
