Ch. 9: Overprotective

Amity was pacing in the Owl House, because now Cat wasn't answering her calls!

She had just left an hour ago and she hadn't gotten through! Could she have already ran into trouble or was she-

'No! No! Your friend is alive! They all are alive!' Amity thought, not wanting to think about death.

"Amity, you're going to put a whole in the floor if you keep this up." Luz said, watching her from the couch.

"Well what am I supposed to do?! My friends aren't answering their scrolls and we have titan trappers trying to kill us!" Amity shouted.

"I know but worrying won't help. If you want and if you don't mind the invasion of privacy, we have a recipe for a Scrying Spell." Luz said.

"... No, that's going too far." Amity said after a pause.

"Do you're just going to continue pacing while calling their scrolls like crazy?" Luz asked.

"Yep!" Amity said, going back to her scroll and calling Gus. "Come on, come on, come on."

"Hello, you got Gus Porter." Gus said through the scroll.

"Gus! Oh thank titan, you answered!" Amity said happily. "Have you heard from Willow or Hunter?"

"Yeah, I heard from them a few minutes ago. They said they were going to the movies." Gus said.

'So that's why they aren't answering their scrolls!' Amity thought, feeling at least SOME relief.

"We have some big problems, Titan problems even!" Amity said.

"Titan problems?" Gus asked in shock.

"Yes! We've got Titan Trappers hunting for us! A group of them just attacked the owl house with me, Luz, King, and Cat inside!" Amity said. "I need you to let Hunter and Willow know about this and meet me here tomorrow."

"On it! Don't worry, we'll be there by 5:00pm on the dot!" Gus said with a firm tone.

"Good!" Amity said with a nod.

"But first, do you mind if I grab dinner along the way? No offense but I can't trust whatever Eda makes in her house." Gus said.

"Fine but it's your loss. Eda is a pretty good cook." Amity said before ending the call.

That's when Amity saw Luz up from the couch and the one pacing now.

"Seriously, you just got on my case about that!" Amity said, hands on her hips.

"Well now I'm worried." Luz said, biting her finger nails. "If they have Archivist blades, what if they have a portal to the human realm? They could go after my mom."

"If they had a portal to the human realm, they could've used it when the Collector was unleashed........and maybe if they didn't worship him." Amity said.

"Still! I should properly call mom and see how she's doing just to be sure." Luz said, pulling out her phone.

And that's when she noticed... her phone was broken.

"Damn it! Must've gotten broke in the fight!" Luz said.

"Do you know if your scroll works or if Eda has any other working human phones?" Amity asked.

"No. I told Eda to not steal anymore phones, because the cops have been getting serious about that, and my scroll is charging." Luz said.

"Hmmm, then maybe that Scrying Spell you said could help? But maybe add a little Titan's blood so it can be used as a crystal ball call." Amity suggested.

"Do you think that will work?" Luz asked.

"I mean... every other thing we used our blood for seems to work." Amity said.

"That's true but do we really want to-"

"Luz, do you want to check on your mother or not?" Amity asked blankly.

'I was worried my ass off while you were calm and now our roles are switched.' Amity thought, smirking a tiny bit.

"Y-y-yes, ma'am." Luz said.

"Then let's get to work on this potion." Amity said.

Luz nodded as she went to the kitchen to get all of the ingredients.

Fire Bee Honey, Porcuspine Quills, Snaggleback Snaggletooh, and Fairy Tears.

She learned that it was better to not ask where Eda got these.

"Alright, now just need a caldron." Luz said, walking into the den.

"Would that one work?" Amity asked, pointing to a caldron that randomly sat in the corner filled with junk.

"Yep!" Luz said.

Amity retrieved the caldron and emptied it of all of the junk before placing it on the table.

"Okay, Ms. Potionist, you're up." Amity told Luz.

"Boscha's not here but I'll do my best." Luz said with a grin.

"You're better than her." Amity said.

Luz giggled at her praise as she got to work, mixing the ingredients and stirring them as the honey worked as the base. It was also capable of boiling without natural heat from the outside.

"Alright, now..." Luz said as she stabbed her finger with a knife, "The final ingredient."

She held her finger over the boiling mixture, letting three drops go in before her finger healed itself.

'Now let's see if this works.' Luz thought as she kept stirring the new Dimensional Scrying Potion.

The mixture began to turn dark blue as an image began to appear, making Luz and Amity lean closer to see.

'Please work, please work, please work.' Luz thought.

The image soon cleared up and revealed Camila Noceda, wearing a sports bra and black workout pants.

Why? Because she was currently in the gym and pumping a bench press bar that weighed 150 pounds!

WITH ONE HAND!!!

'Oh damn. Mama pumping!' Luz thought with wide eyes.

".........I am looking forward to the future." Amity said, glancing between Luz and Camila for comparison.

"You're one to talk, you got your birther's hips." Luz said, glancing at Amity.

"And you won't? Besides, that the only GOOD thing I got from her." Amity said, putting a hand on her hip.

"I agree." Luz said.

'Focus, Luz. Go back to checking on your mom.' Luz thought, glancing back at her mother.

Going back to the Scyring Potion, Camila set the barbell down and leaned up from the bench. She barely had a sweat bead on her head.

"Three thousand reps per arm... not bad." Camila said.

A random guy walked towards Camila, looking impressed and confident.

"Dang, I've never seen a woman bench like that. You a goddess?" He asked with a grin.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Camila said as she stood up and wiped her forehead with a towel.

"Can I buy you an energy drink? Some serious reps need some serious fluids." The man said.

"You can but don't think this will get you on my good side just yet." Camila said with a grin.

'I know what you're doing but you're not just type.' Camila thought.

Watching this, Luz got mad as her eyes flashed blue.

"I don't like this." She said.

"Why? Your mom is still able to date." Amity said.

"Not sleazy guys like him. I can tell." Luz said.

"I'm sure you're mom can handle it." Amity said, "But see, she's safe, we can go worry about other stuff now."

"Not until-" Luz was pulled away from the Scrying Potion right as Camila was walking with this mystery man.

"If it makes you feel better, your mom can literally crush him if he pisses her off." Amity said, dragging Luz away.

"But my mami's love life!" Luz whined.

"She is 51 years old, she's fine!" Amity said loudly.

"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!" Luz said as King came into the den.

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!" King shouts before seeing the Scrying Potion.

Seeing Camila getting an energy drink with the guy still trying to hit in her.

"Oh... are we killing this guy?" King asked.

Amity rolled her eyes.

'I am surrounded by literal children.' Amity thought.
