Ch. 1: Watching Desperate Measures

The screen lit up, and everyone turned to face it.

Luz was knocked to the ground with a groan. She felt all the air leave her body and she looked at her hand to make sure she still had the vial of Titan's Blood.

"I recommend you give that to me." Belos, who was possessing Hunter's body, said, "Otherwise, your death will be long and painful."

"Wait, Hunter!?" Luz yelled, "What's going on!?"

"B-But-that voice! That's not my voice!" Hunter yelled, shocked and horrified by "himself."

Everyone was concerned, they had no idea what was going on with this, Skara looked over at Hunter. They were on the Flyer Derby together, there's no way he would act like this.

"What's that vial in your hand?" Gus asked.

Everyone looked and saw a vial of a blue substance in her hand.

"No, I... I won't give it to you." Luz said, holding her side.

"Well then, I guess I have to do this the hard way." Belos said.

Belos grabbed Luz and held her up. He smiled as he morphed his hand into a blade and stabbed Luz right in the stomach. Luz let out a loud scream, which echoed through the woods.

That was scream was almost masked the screams of the viewers, most of which were friends of Luz. Amity and Camila screamed the loudest and Eda held Luz close. Hunter looked down and felt ashamed, he had a feeling Belos was responsible, but regardless, he saw himself stab, and most likely kill, Luz.

He couldn't bring himself to look at anyone, not even Flapjack as he tried comforting him in his shoulder.

"Luz!" Amity yelled, hearing her scream.

Amity, along with Willow, Vee, Gus, and Camila ran towards the scream. When they arrived, they were horrified to see Luz impaled by Belos. Belos dropped her as she gasped for air.

"Luz!" Amity yelled in horror.

"I must say, Luz, I always did like how you could see the good in everyone." Belos said, "But that's also your greatest weakness. After all, none of this would've happened if you hadn't helped me meet the Collector all those centuries ago."

The Luz watching looks away in shame, still reeling over the fact she DID help Belos all those years ago and regrets it every second.

Everyone was VERY confused. Who's the Collector?

"Luz? Who's the Collector?" Amity asked.

A speaker turned on.

"Spoilers!" Mr. Hardcor3 said, "You'll learn about that later!"

This made the witches shocked, but they were more concerned with Luz bleeding out and Hunter being possessed. They didn't hesitate to pull the staffs out and attack. Belos smirked and turned his attention to them. Luz used this distraction to drag herself to the nearest gravestone and lay against it.

"Heh... dying in a graveyard... ironic." Luz said with a weak chuckle.

She coughed and blood came out, some of it leaking out of her mouth and staining her chin. Vee and Camila ran over to Luz.

"Luz!" Camila said, "Vee, call the Hospital!"

Vee pulled out her phone and quickly dialed 911. She put it to her ear and anxiously waited, only for the no signal tone to answer her.

"I don't have a signal!" Vee said, "Dang you dead zones!"

Camila looked at Luz and grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry, Mija, you'll be okay." Camila said, "We'll... we'll figure something out."

Everyone knew that was a lie. Even the strongest Healing Magic wouldn't be able to help, and even if it did, you'd be stuck on bedrest for the rest of your short life. Camila, Amity, just about everyone was crying, hell, Even Boscha felt some tears form. Sure, she didn't like Luz, but she never wanted her dead.

She quickly wiped some tears away as she continued watching the scene, the same could be aside for her group as they did the same.

"What is this?! What the heck is going on?!" King demanded, his voice cracking from his emotions and tears.

"It's your future." Jss2141 said through the speakers.

"Don't worry, things get better... then worse... then better... then worse again." Mr. Hardcor3 chimed in.

Luz looked at her mom and gave her a weak smile.

"Don't... worry Mom... I'll... be okay." Luz said before coughing more blood up.

That made everyone start crying more, well, almost everyone. The Coven Heads stayed quiet and just watched. Amity and Camila were holding Luz so tightly that she started to turn as blue as her blood would soon be.

"Uh, maybe let go of her, since this is Luz's future, maybe hugging her until she stops breathing might not be a good idea." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

They let her go, realizing that she wasn't breathing.

Luz wasn't stupid, she knew she would die, and in her mind, she probably deserves it. She's the reason all this happened, the draining spell, the Collector, everything happened because of her. She looked down at her hand, seeing the vial of Titan's Blood.

After getting a good look at the vial, Amity recognized it.

"Titan's Blood?" she asked.

This made everyone that knew about it gasp, mainly the owl house residents, Lilith, and Hunter. While everyone else was just confused.

"What's Titan's Blood?" Terra asked, looking at her fellow coven heads.

"The life essence of magic, the blood of the titan's corpse, and the key ingredient to making a portal between realm." Hunter explained for everyone.

"And some has been on Earth this whole time." Luz said, staring at her future self in shock.

"Yeah... it's... not going to be on earth much longer." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

'I'm not helping him anymore.' Luz thought.

Using the rest of her strength, Luz opened the vial and then made sure Belos would never get the Titan's Blood. She raised the vial to her lips and then drank it. She dropped the empty vial and smiled.

This horrified everyone. No one new what would happen when a witch drinks Titan's Blood, let alone what it will do to a Human! In the control room, the authors shared a smile, knowing that this would be fun.

"Luz! Are you insane!?" Amity yelled.

"Uh, I'm bleeding out, so probably." Luz said.

"YOU JUST DRANK PURE TITAN BLOOD, KID! Do you have any idea what that will do to you?!" Eda shouted, shaking Luz back and forth.

"What if you turn into some crazy monster?! Or you die faster?!" Gus shouted in worry.

Camila went on a rant of Spanish muttering, half prayers and half damning the future for whatever reason.

"I mean, she's bleeding out. Not like blood going INTO her body is bad, right?" Jss2141 comments.

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" Luz's friends and family shouted up.

"Fine. Then just watch and see what happens next." Jss2141 said.

'Take that, Belos.' Luz thought.

Luz's vision began to go black, while she heard her name being called by several people... one of which she's never heard the voice of.

And just like that, the room exploded. Everyone shouting in anger, confusion, or heartbreak. One of the most vocal was Camila, as she watched her daughter die. No one even mentioned the strange voice yet, as they were too busy breaking down.

"Should we give them a minute or should we just keep going?" Mr. Hardcor3 asked Jss2141.

"Hmmmm, eh why not continue? Better to see their little light make it then go crazy thinking she's dead." Jss2141 said, shrugging as he immediately started the second "episode."
