previous chapter > next chapter
Camila looks at the portal in shock, having seen what monster her daughter been fighting. “That's the Belos you've been fighting this whole time?!” Camila shouted, and Willow starts moving Hunter waiting for him to stir awake. “Guys, Hunter isn't moving.” Willow said, tearfully looking at the others.
“Vee, call an ambulance.” Camila says, and Vee immediately does so. Willow had tears in her eyes, “Uh, do human doctors know about possession?” Willow asks, tearing up, and Luz looks at her, “Or Grimwalkers?” Luz says, and Camila looks at Willow and shock.
“Possession?!” Camila shouts. “Grimwalkers?!” Willow shouts, in shock looking at her, “We should still call a doctor.” Camila says, and Vee looks down, “I'm not getting cell reception.” Vee says sadly, and AMity looks down at Hunter worriedly.
“What do we do?” Amity asks, suddenly, a weakened Flapjack flies out of Luz’s pocket to Hunter, chirps sadly, then settles down, sacrificing his life by giving him his palisman essence to revive Hunter. As the other watch on; He dissolves into floating balls of light at the end. Hunter groans and slowly opens his eyes, which have turned brown, “Hey, guys. Is everyone else okay?” He asks weakly, and Gus and everyone look at each other sadly.
“Actually, Flapjack…” Gus says, looking back at Hunter, and Hunter grips his shirt, “Don't. Don't.” He cries, “I already know.” He says, and the others cry as well. Hunter sits up slowly from Willow’s lap, “Sit up slowly, baby. Are you in pain anywhere?” Camila asks, looking at him.
“I'm okay.” Hunter says, sadly, and then looks around worriedly, “Where’s Y/n?” He asked, and Gus looked at him, “After, Belos left your body he um..”
“He took over Y/n’s body and left through the portal.” Willow finished, looking at him sadly. Amity looked at Luz as she walked closer towards the portal, “Um, Luz. What did Belos mean when he said you helped him meet The Collectors? I mean, that was a lie, right?” Amity asked, and Luz turned to walk away.
“No, it was true. If it weren't for me, the Day of Unity would have never happened. There was this time pool, and I met him. I met him when he was still just Philip, and I taught him the light spell. I introduced him to The Collector. I set everything in motion. I'm sorry, everyone.” Luz said, and Amity looked at her, “Why did you keep all that a secret?” Amity asked, looking at her.
“I was scared. I thought you'd all hate me for it. Which is why I've made a decision. I think it'd be in everyone's best interest if I-” Luz said, looking at the portal.
“Took your mama to the Demon Realm!” Camila shouted, wrapping her arm around Luz, “What?!” Luz said, in shock, and Amity approaches Luz and hugs her, “I couldn't hate you, Luz. The fact that you still stand up for us means enough to me.” Amity says, to her.
“Mija, now that I've seen what you're up against, there is no way I'm letting you go back there alone. It is our duty to help your friends get back to their families.” Camila says, to her daughter, and Hunter walks up to her, “But…” Luz says.
“You were tricked. That's what Belos does. He tricks people. But if it weren't you, it would have been someone else, and then there'd be no one left to fight back. So let's do that. Let's fight back. Please? For Flapjack?” He says, and Luz smiles softly, “ ...For Flapjack.” She says, and the portal starts pulsing.
“The portal's closing.” Vee says, and Luz looks at it, “Then we better head in.” Luz says, and Hunter heads for the portal first, but stops, noticing one of the wolf ear hairclips on the ground. He kneels down and picks it up, and he grasps it in his hands. Looking at the portal ‘I’m coming Y/n’ he thought in his head, Holding his hand to his chest, “Time to go home, Flap.” and phases through the portal. Gus and WIllow follow him and both saying their goodbyes to the human realm.
“Goodbye, Human Realm. Thank you for showing me your secrets. I hope to see you again.” Gus says, phasing through the portal, “Thanks for the memories. We'll be back after we get some revenge.: Willow says, phasing through the portal.
Amity looks at Luz, “Luz, I know things are scary, and I don't know what the future holds. But it would be so cool if you were a part of that. But no more hiding, okay?” She asks, and Luz looks at her, “I understand. See you on the other side. Promise.” Luz says, holding Amity’s hand, and then gives her a kiss on the cheek. They let go of each other's hand as Luz watches her walk through the portal with her staff..

[Y/n] brought her knees to her chest hugging them as she cried. She was floating in a black void all alone; no one around to comfort her no one around for her to lean a shoulder on. Once again she was alone. “No matter what, I’ll always end up being alone.” She mumbled into her knees, lifting up her head slightly.
“Hunter’s gone,” She whimpered, tightening her grip around her legs. More tears brimmed her eyes, “I-I’ll never see him again,” She sniffled, and hid her head back into her knees. Sobbing, despite having been alone for centuries and never having any friends, at this moment she’s never felt more alone.
She knew the other’s priority lay with saving their loved ones and the Boiling Isles. She wouldn’t blame them if they forgot about her and honestly, she would understand. Why, should they save her? They’d only known her for a couple of months not long at all, they didn’t know her much and she was still a collector and could turn on them. So why should they trust her?
[Y/n] sniffled, as she unclipped the remaining wolf ear hair clip from her head. Smiling sadly, she looked at it, her heart aching as she remembered Hunter’s love for wolves. Tears trickled down her cheeks, a gasp escaped her lips. What was this pain in her chest, and why did it hurt so much? She’s never cried this much before, this pain was unbearable and unimaginable. She whimpered, hugging the ear close to her chest as she cried.
“Hunter…” She whimpered, thinking about him and the butterflies returned to her stomach as she did so. She didn’t know what those feelings were that she felt whenever she was around him, but she liked it and now, he was gone and she’ll never be able to tell him.
“Poor little collector,” Belos said, the green sludge appearing on her right arm. She looked at it in shock and tried to shake it off. But it slowly crept its way further up her arm, “Get off of me!” She screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Crying, over friends that don’t even care about you.” He says, and she looked down shuddering, “You really think they care enough to even save you?” He asked, and she kept her eyes down tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Y-You, don’t know anything about me.” She said, the sludge creeping up her arm further and further till it was at her neck, “Oh, but I do.” He said, and she looked up, his voice echoing in the dark abyss that surrounded her, “You’re scared of being alone,” He says, and she purses her lips.
“You can’t stand your little sibling,” He said, and she looked down, staring blankly at her shoes.“You hate your older siblings the archivists,” He says, and she just looked down, “Your a lonely and pathetic girl,” He says, and she sniffles and covers her ears trying to ignore him but he keeps saying it over and over.
She sobs hugging her knees, “Hunter’s dead because of you, because you were too weak.” He said, and she dug her nails into the palm of her hand as she cried, shaking her head trying to ignore him.
“Besides, even if he was you really think he’d ever reciprocate your feelings?” He said, and she gasped lifting her head up from her knees. “Why would he ever like you?” He said, and her eyes widened and her entire body started shaking. Her nails dug into the palm of her hand drawing blood, and her chest ached, as she tried to catch her breath. She couldn’t breathe, she gripped the side of her head staring into the dark abyss while crying uncontrollably.
She wrapped her arms around herself gripping, her arm tightly while sobbing. Her tear drops float around her, “No one will ever like me.” She whimpered, hugging herself. Her eyes started to glow, and tears rolled down her cheeks turning into tiny stars.
The tiny stars formed into a constellation, and she gasped looking up as if looking up at the night sky. Tears rolled down her cheeks, as she remembered when Hunter and her stargazed together while; sharing a hot chocolate the moment he leaned his head onto her shoulder. Their hands accidentally touch, and them slowly intertwining their fingers. Willow helping [Y/n] with her hair, and cutting it shorter.
Every single moment, she spent with her friends played like a slide show among the stars. It all concluded with, the promise Hunter made to [Y/n]. She sniffled, reaching out for him but pulled her hand back, he was gone forever.
Her hands clenched into fists, and she fought to control her body back. She wasn’t going to let, Belos hurt or kill any more people she loved.
She started beating the crap out of Belos, wanting control over her body again. “Get….Out!” She screamed, like banshee.
It was a brutal mental battle but finally she got rid of him, and had control over her body once again.
[Y/n] collapsed, on the ground tiredly. A scar on the left side of her fast, one around her neck, and another on her left arm. She sighed, rolling over onto her back to look up at the sky.
Her eyes slowly becoming heavy, as sleep took over. “Maybe a little nap won’t hurt.” She said, mumbling before falling asleep.
‘Y/n?’
‘Y/n?’
‘Y/n?!’
“She isn’t waking up!” A familiar voice shouted, worriedly.
“Y/n? Y/n? Can you hear me?” The voice said again, sounding a bit more frantic and worried, his voice almost cracking, as if he was holding back tears.
“Please, y/n….” the voice now crying, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her holding her close. she felt warm all of a sudden and safe too.
“You mean so much to, an-” She groaned, “Y/n?” she groggily opened her eyes, her vision blurry and she looked around.
Her eyes widened seeing everyone, smiling as they looked at her. She looked up and her eyes widened seeing Hunter. Tears brimmed her eyes as she saw him, her face contorted as emotions overcame her.
“Hunter..” She whimpered, quickly wrapping her arms around him. Almost tackling him to the ground, “I thought I lost you,” she cried, she don’t care if everyone was watching.
Hunter’s cheeks were bright red, but he wrapped his arms around her returning the hug.
She sniffled, and pulled back from the hug. Hunter looked at her and noticed the scar on her face, neck and arm. She smiled sheepishly, “I’m sorry,” she said, looking at him knowingly talking about Flapjack.
He just nodded and stayed silent, she placed her hand over his, and smiled softly. Despite, her wanting to tell her about what happened there were more pressing matters at hand.
“I’ll tell you everything later, but first.” She said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a star and enlarged it.
“We’ve gotta go talk to my little sibling.” She said, smiling and Luz frowned. “Man, I already drawn out the teleportation glyph.” She said, and [Y/n] looked at her and frowned.
“You can still do that if you want?” She said, shrinking the star with her powers.
“It’ll be better actually then, they won’t know what hit ‘em’” [Y/n] said, standing to her feet. Walking towards the glyph and standing inside, a beam surrounds them and it sends them up to the archives.
“I can't believe that actually worked!” Willow said,
“Well you really beamed us up, eh, O'Bailey?” Camila chortles, and she playfully elbows Hunter. Both Hunter and Gus gasp at Camila mention of Cosmic Frontier.
Luz stares at her palisman, which is still shrouded in a colorful mist. She then grabs her staff.
“Beam us up! Beam us up! Beam us up!” Hunter and Gus chant, and [Y/n] couldn’t help but smile. Luz stares, at the spiraling mist in awe. “Guys?” Luz says, and Gus and Hunter areaughing happily, and everyone notices what’s about to Al happen to Luz palisman. “Come meet my Palisman!” She says, and everyone approaches the staff.
“What kind of magical creature will it be? A dragon?” Camila said, excitedly.
“A bird?” Hunter said.
“Oh, an otter!” Amity said.
“A spooky bat?” Willow said.
“ A... snake?” Gus said.
“You are close.” Luz says, smiling. a serpent like creature flies out from the mist and transforms into a bat, then scorpion, then dragon, before reverting back to its true form a cat like snake.
“She's a snake shifter! Her name is Stringbean, and she's PERFECT!” Luz said, and [Y/n] smiled seeing the cute Palisman.
Stringbean flies down to Luz’s palm as she speaks. She rubs herself on Luz’s face, and then flies towards everyone else. And then the other Palisman.
“¡Pero mira que preciosos mis bebés! ¡Ven, ven! (Translation: Oh look at all of mama's precious babies. Come here, come here.)” Camila said, cooing over the palisman.
Hunter smiles as he sees this, but is surprised when someone suddenly grabs his hand. He looks to his right and sees [Y/n] standing next to him.
“Thanks for what you said back there.” She smiles at Hunter, “You mean a lot to me too.” She says, and he immediately blushes, and starts tearing up, and sniffles.
[Y/n] also blushes at Hunter and tears up a bit, as they held each other’s pinky finger. “Cool. Happy to help.” He sniffles, as they intertwined their fingers together.
[a/n; short chapter but the next one will be longer and more angsty]
