You came home !
It was dark. As she opened her eyes this morning, Luz felt hot and paralyzed. It was like something was stopping her from moving. She tried to reach for her curtains but she felt like there was something on her... When Luz finally saw the light coming in, she was startled by the sudden lick on her cheek...
“EWw KINNNG, Get OFF of ME !” Luz shouted to this lazy doggy who was at the moment laying on her with his black and strange white skull-shape fur on his face. King wasn’t actually her dog, his real owner is her aunt Eda.
“Wait if you’re here then... EDA TOO!” Luz jumped of her bed in excitement and ran downstairs. She loved her aunt really much. She always was like a second mom to her and her presence could live up an all room ! However, Eda wasn’t her mom’s sister but a close friend. So close that Luz got use to call her aunt since she was a baby.
“KIDDO !” said Eda as Luz jumped in her arms causing her to fall.
“You’ve grown up so much since I last saw you ! How old are you ?16 ??” asked Eda with her usual smirk. ”Nope I’m 14” answered Luz proudly with her big usual goofy smile.
Eda laughed slightly and stood up from Luz embrace. Since Eda is a teacher in a foreign school, she’s rarely home. One time, Luz asked her if she could go to this school instead of her boring town school, and Eda laughed her guts out saying that this school is inaccessible to normal people, that it was a “choosen one school”. Luz would always laugh about Eda’s spooky voice but for some reasons she couldn’t stop herself from thinking about that last part. Choosen one... she thought to herself for the fifth time this month.
“Luz, are you okay mija (=my daughter)?” Luz got easily startled by her mother voice and quickly answered “Yehh, I’m fine, I only got distracted...”
“So how was school today kiddo ? Got any friends since last time I came to visite ?” asked a concern Eda. It’s true that making friends wasn’t that easy for Luz. When she would make friends, they would always stop hanging out with her ‘cause she was “too weird”. Luz knew that was true though... She was a weirdo: she loved creepy things, clips with musics and of course fantasy stories about dragons and witches. How she wished she was a witch like her favorite character Azura from her favorite saga. She was so brave, talented and powerful !
“I want to be a witch !” OOPS. Luz just shouted this out of nowhere ?! She quickly shut herself with her both hands and sneakily watched for a reaction from her aunt. Eda’s eyes were wide and she immediately stoped drinking her tea.
“W-what did you say Luz ??” Eda asked trying to convince herself that Luz never said “witch” and didn’t know about magic.
“NO-nothing!” Luz screamed faster than a plane in the sky. Eda thought to herself “Mmh that is pretty suspicious... Maybe she knows...”
“Hey kiddo, how do you say we go to town this afternoon ?” Luz eyes grew bigger by the thought of hanging out with her second favorite person in the world (of course Camilia goes first).
“You want to ? Awesome ! Let me clean and dress up !” She stuffed a whole pancake in her mouth and ran upstairs. She took a shower, brushed her teeth and finally dressed. She wore a black hoodless sweatshirt with her usual short, without forgetting to wear leggings underneath. She again, ran downstairs and put on her sneakers.
“Okay I’m ready !” said Luz with a grin.
Eda was still drinking her tea and nervously laughed “You get faster every years don’t you. Alright let’s get going. Camilia can you keep King for me please”
“What ?!”
“Thank you, see you later !”
“Wait-“ said Camilia but Eda had already closed the door.
“Huhhh, why do I always have to take care of the dog” she sighed.
