I bet that Amity regretted wanting to participate in the Bonesborough Brawl again due to the traumatic events from "Reaching Out" where she tried to connect with Alador, had Luz involved, and faced the anniversary of Luz's father's passing. As a result, Amity hates the Bonesborough Brawl because it serves as nothing but a painful memory for the Blight family.

It was the morning of the twenty-third, and Luz hoped that Mamá would finally show up today. She had promised to be there for the second and third tasks. Luz went to the Human Realm as quickly as her legs would carry her. She hadn’t seen her Mamá since October, and as much as she didn’t want to admit it, Luz missed her.
Luz sat at the Hogsmeade Station for hours waiting for the train to arrive. It finally did at a bit after ten o’clock. A dozen or so people got off the train. Among them were a woman and girl with the same silvery hair as Fleur who were jabbering away to each other in rapid French, a man that had the same hooked nose as Viktor who came off just behind the French ladies, and behind him was the one person Luz had been waiting for.
“Mamá!” Luz cried out, seeing her mother.
“Mija!” She replied, “Oh, it’s so good to see you!”
The two embraced each other in a hug, glad to see each other for the first time in four months. The other people who arrived all started to make their way to Hogsmeade, where Luz assumed they had rooms booked at the Hog’s Head.
“So you’re the champion!” Camila cheered, “Congratulations!”
“Thanks, Mamá,” Luz replied. The two of them started to walk together towards the portal door.
Luz started to tell Camilla all about the school year so far, how she technically was too young to compete (but that didn’t stop her), and how Harry was even younger than her and still had to compete. Luz eventually got to the fight with the Vipertooth, which made Camilla immediately worry, both about her daughter, and the poor things the champions had to fight.
“Oh, Mija, are you alright?” Camilla consoled, “Because I will KILL whoever hurt you!”
“I’m fine Mamá, the Healing witches plus the Hogwarts nurse had me back in peak condition in a week!” Luz explained, “The dragon hurt me, but to be fair, I had kinda pissed it off by blinding it with light a few too many times,”
Camilla’s brows furrowed.
“Luz, that doesn’t make it any better!” Camilla tried to explain, “This school made you fight a dragon by yourself!”
“Oh, come on Mamá!” Luz defended, “It was barely tougher than Grom! And I’ve beaten that thing before!”
“Si, but you had help then!” Camilla argued, “You had Amity right there!”
“But I was a newbie at magic then!” Luz almost shouted, “I’ve been doing magic for over a year and a half now!”
Camilla sighed, realizing this argument wasn’t getting anywhere. She put her hand on her forehead and muttered under her breath, “I thought my school was insane, but at least mine didn’t make me fight a dragon,”
Luz, despite catching what her Mamá had said, decided to not prod, figuring that it just wasn’t worth it right now.
“What about after the first task?” The older woman asked.
“Well, after the first task, nothing really of note happened until Christmas. Hogwarts held a ball for everyone.”
“Let me guess, you went with Amity,”
“What was your first clue?” Luz asked sarcastically.
Camilla chuckled at her daughter’s humor.
“Then there hasn’t been much since Christmas,” Luz explained, “All I’ve done is try to figure out the clue for the second task,”
“Which is?”
“I think I’m gonna have to go into the lake there,” Luz explained, pointing to the Black Lake, which they were walking just next to, “And save someone from Merpeople at the bottom, all in an hour.”
“Luz, this tournament sounds like a death trap,” Camilla said, “I want you out of this nonsense!”
“I can’t Mamá,” Luz replied, “There’s a magical contract forcing me to compete since my name came out of the Goblet of Fire. If that contract wouldn’t have been there, there would only be three champions, not five. They would’ve definitely kicked Harry and me out for being underage.”
Camilla sighed again as they approached the Quidditch Stadium, where the portal door stood wide open. She muttered something about Jesu under her breath.
The two humans entered the portal door, and Eda and King quickly greeted Luz’s guest.
“Hey, Camilla!” Eda beamed, “How’s my favorite Human Beast Keeper doing?”
“For the last time Eda,” Camilla sighed, “I’m not a ‘Beast Keeper’, I’m a veterinarian.”
“Eh, same thing!” Eda argued, “Now, would you like some Apple Blood? Or maybe some of that Butterbeer stuff that I got from the human realm.”
“I’ll have some Butterbeer,” Camilla said with surprising certainty. How does Camilla know what Butterbeer is? Luz wondered.
Eda got a butterbeer for Camilla, and the two humans sat on her couch. King quickly lay down on Luz’s lap.
Amity soon walked downstairs.
“Oh, there you are batata,” Amity said, then she noticed Camilla, “Hi, Mrs. Noce- sorry, Camilla,”
“Good morning, Amity,” Luz’s mother responded.
“I’ll,” Amity started, “I’ll go tell the others you’re here,” She then departed.
“Well, anyway,” Eda said, “How’s Gravesfield? I haven’t been there ever since Bumpikins made me put the portal door over here,”
“Gravesfield is the same it’s always been,” Camilla replied.
The two motherly figures in Luz’s life soon got to talking about nonsense that didn’t really interest Luz, so she focused on petting King, who seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Soon, Amity returned to the Owl House. With her were several people: Gus, Willow, Hunter, Ed, Em, Vee, and their newer friends Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred, and George. Everyone squeezed into Eda’s living room, much to Hooty’s dismay.
“Hey” the demon screeched, “I need room to breathe you know!”
No one gave him mind as they all got themselves in.
“Mamá,” Luz decided to introduce, “You already know Amity, Gus, Willow, Hunter, and Vee. But these two are Amity’s older siblings, Edric and Emira,” The twins waved, “And these are my new friends: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, then Ron, Fred, and George Weasley,”
“Potter?” Her mamá asked, “Is there any relation to-”
“Yeah,” Harry cut her off, “I’m that Harry Potter, the boy who lived,” He seemed to want to get that over with, and like it was more of a formality than anything.
“That’s not what I was going to ask,” Camilla told him, “I was going to ask if there’s any relation between you and James Potter, you look a lot like him, and we were penpals in school,”
“Yeah, he’s, my dad,” Harry admitted, “He died when I was a baby though,”
“Yes, I heard,” Camilla admitted, “I was so sad to hear of that, but at least it ended the war,”
“Wait, mamá,” Luz inquired, “How do you know about the wizarding war? And how were you penpals with Harry’s dad?”
Camilla sighed heavily.
“I guess the cat’s out of the bag,” She confessed, “Luz, I want you to understand that I hid this from you for your own protection. I was going to tell you when you developed your own innate magic, but that never happened,”
“Mamá, what are you talking about,”
“Luz, I’m a witch,” Camilla said.
“WHAT?!” Luz screamed, “Why would you hide that from me?!!”
“I did it to protect you and Manny!” she defended.
“How were you protecting us?” Luz cried. “You could have saved his life from that cancer!”
“What makes you think I would stand by while he died!” Camilla bellowed, tears starting to form, “I did everything I could to save his life! I did magic! But I wasn’t strong enough, and there isn’t a magic hospital in the world willing to take no-maji!”
Luz knew she should calm down, but she was too angry at her mother for hiding this her entire life to care.
“Why would you hide it from me?” Luz begged, “Instead of telling me you were a witch, you told me I needed to go to summer camp for three months, and then I only discovered magic was real by going to another WORLD!”
“Mija, I hid it from you because I didn’t want you to feel left out.” Camilla defended, calming herself down, “You never showed any signs of innate magic, so I never decided to reveal it to you. It would have broken your heart to learn that I was a witch but you still couldn’t do magic.”
Luz took a deep breath, she was definitely overreacting.
“Did Papi know?” Luz asked softly.
“No, he never learned of my magic. I hid it from you both. It broke my heart but I had to!” Camilla replied.
Luz sighed, and Camilla did as well. The rest of the room seemed viscerally uncomfortable.
“I-I’m sorry for blowing up at you,” Luz breathed, “I just- that’s a lot to take in and I never expected it and-”
Camilla cut her off by embracing her in a hug.
“Mija, I’m not angry with you,” She whispered in her daughter’s ear, “I forgive you. And I understand your anger. This was a big thing and I should not have kept it from you. I’m sorry mija, I thought I was doing the right thing.”
Luz returned the hug and smiled slightly as a tear filled her eye. The two of them embraced each other for almost a full minute before Camilla finally pulled Luz free, her heart rate had gone back down, and her breathing had softened once more.
The rest of the room stood somewhat awkwardly around the two Latinas. Amity was right at Luz’s side, ready to comfort her if needed.
The silence was eventually broken by Hooty (of course).
“While we’re all revealing secrets, I guess you guys should know that I used to be attached to the Titan while he was still alive! Hoot hoot!” The infernal house demon chirped at the crowd.
“Shut up!!” Everyone yelled at him in unison.
“You said you knew my dad?” Harry asked, recognizing that the moment had already been ruined, so he could now pester Luz’s mamá with questions. “Everyone I’ve met has told me something different about him. My aunt and uncle say he was nothing but a criminal, Professor Snape says he was a scoundrel and an asshole, and my Godfather says that he was a great man and that he would be proud of who I’m growing up to be. So what do you say he was like?”
“James?” Camilla said, “I haven’t really given him much thought in years, but from what I remember he was a very talented wizard who always had a knack for getting into all sorts of trouble.”
“Sounds like my siblings,” Amity and Ron said in unison.
“He was also a bit of a jerk at times, from what I remember.” Camilla confessed, “But he had a good heart, and he never started a rivalry, but he always made sure to keep his enemies close. My guess is one of those rivalries was with your professor.”
Camilla went on and on explaining her unfiltered opinions on James Potter. They were mostly positive, but she wasn’t afraid to criticize his flaws when they appeared. Harry seemed relieved to hear another person say his father wasn’t a complete menace to society.
“Well, her being a witch certainly explains a lot,” Hermione muttered to Luz.
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, muggles aren’t able to even locate the castle, much less get on the property. And didn’t you say she came on the train? Only wizards and witches can access the platform it runs on.” Hermione explained with a sigh, “But her being a witch makes everything line up perfectly.”
“I just wish she told me, after all we’ve been through, you would think we would have stopped keeping secrets from each other,” Luz murmured back.
“Mamá,” Luz started, “If you’re a witch, then why did you seem to doubt me when I said that I was trapped in the Boiling Isles?”
“Luz, I doubted you mostly because I didn’t want to believe that instead of having my daughter living with me, I instead had some creature from another dimension,” her mamá explained, “I wanted it to be a joke, some kind of prank. I’m sorry for doubting you mija,”
Luz nodded, then replied, “Did you go all the way to Hogwarts for magic school? Or did you really go to that private boarding school in Massachusetts?”
“I went to Ilvermorny, which is the largest Wizarding school in North America,” Camilla confessed, “after I graduated, I decided that I still wanted to live in the no-maj world, despite my arcane abilities. That’s why I went to veterinary school. I wanted to be like my parents and go into medicine. Then I met your papa, and then I had you. And you know the rest.”
“Is the story you two told me about how you met at least true?”
Camilla nodded, “Every word of it,”
“Thank you, mamá.” Luz said, “I wish you had been honest with me from the start, but I get where you were coming from.”
"There's that word again," Ron said, "No-maj, what does it mean?"
"Oh," Camilla chuckled, "It's short for no magic, do you call them something different in Britain?"
"Yeah, we call 'em Muggles," Ron said.
"Well, the more you know," Camilla chuckled.
Camilla slapped her thighs, then stood, “Well, I’ll let you two champions go, I’m sure you both want to get plenty of sleep tonight and maybe get some last-minute prep in before the big day tomorrow!”
That reminded Luz, how was she going to breathe underwater?
“Thank you, Mrs. Noceda,” Harry said.
“Please, call me Camilla, and you’re welcome!”
The Hogwarts students all started to file out to the portal door.
“Good luck tomorrow, Harry!” Luz called to her fellow champion.
“Err, yeah, you too!” Harry replied.
But now Luz had another problem to face, the anticipation of Mamá’s arrival had made her completely forget that the second task was tomorrow, and she still didn’t have a plan!

Isn't it weird that Adegast the Puppeteer was originally the only character who was killed off and that no other characters were killed off until the series revealed three off-screen character deaths and another three characters who were important to the series were killed off on-screen? Those six had a huge impact on the series. You know, Manny Noceda, Caleb Wittebane, Evelyn, Flapjack, the Titan and Emperor Belos.
In her room, sitting with her knees to her chest, Luz Noceda thought silently about what happened. The door then slowly opened. King, her little brother, entered.
"Luz?"
She looked up.
"Did you see the way she looked at me?"
King crawled over to his sister, squeezing her hand.
"Hey. Look at me." He placed his claw onto her cheek. "It's not your fault."
"But it is, King." Luz said, tugging her hand away. "I wasn't to stop her from getting away, and did you the people she-"
She buried her face in her hands. King's heart clenched, saddened that her sister had suffered so much all over again. He squeezed in and gave her a huge hug.
Luz, touched by her brother’s words, returned it.
Knock Knock!
She and King looked at the window and saw a fleshy skeleton hand knocking on the window.
Luz got up and opened it.
“Here”
“Fanks.” said a sickly gaggy voice.
Luz turned back to King to thank him, only to see that he was hiding in her sleeping bag, completely terrified out of his wits.
“Huh?”
She turned around.
What sat, perched on the window, was a horrifying fleshy skeleton monster. Huge chunks of his flesh and organs were gone with green blood absolutely caking everything he touched., including his red ripped cake.
His head was ripped open and some of his teeth were missing, including his eye.
Luz screamed, full blast, and jumped back in terror. She grabbed King and started throwing objects at the monster.
“WAIK!” He pleaded, dodging the attacks. “I just nek your-”
WHACK!
Luz threw her Azura book at the alien, causing its head to spin around and around.
“Who are you?” She asked.
The Alien outstretched his hands and clutched Luz’s head.
Instantly, everything went black as Luz shut her eyes in pain. As she did, countless imahges and memories flooded before her eyes…
Her Father’s hand falling limp at his side…
Hunter running off into the woods, sobbing uncontrollably…
Amity yelling at her, saying she was a bully…
But after that, she was flooded by memories that were never hers, ones that belonged to another person…
Removing the spine from a dead body…
Running through jungle foliage towards a body of water…
“What…the hell…”
“ARE YOU?!”
Luz fell back onto the ground, his hands no longer touching her head. She looked up.
Laying on the ground was the broken, soggy mess of the corpse. But standing on top was a tall, domineering figure. He was about 6 ft. He wore brown tattered shorts that we're ripped with his left shoulder being bandaged. He had a horrible burnt mark's wound all over and a Stab wound the left side of his gut. He had black hair in dreadlocks and a slight green tint.
Luz gasped in horror.
"You're…you're the PREDATOR!"
He swelled.
"I have had many names.” He replied, as Luz took a step back. "The Classic Predator, Jungle Hunter, El Demonio que Hace Trofeos de los Hombres."
He then looked straight at her.
"And yes... PREDATOR."
Luz grabbed King and held him close to her.
"How is this possible?!" she asked, completely surprised at what she was seeing.
The Predator looked back at Luz.
“It seems that my reputation precedes me outside my hunting grounds.”
"Yeah!" Luz confirmed."There have been conspiracy sites and theories on Predators. But you're not real. You're just a internet story, an urban myth -"
Jungle Hunter leaned down until their faces were even.
"Do I look like a myth, little girl? Is my face a mask?"
Luz took another step back, afraid of his creepy mouth.
“Why are you here?” She asked, trying to show some bravery.
“I somehow came back from thei-de after I lost my life to Dutch Schaufer in the Central American Jungle. Afterwards, I found the decaying corpse of another alien and made my way to Gravesfield. I spent the days wondering in a vain attempt to find you, interacting with the blond guy and the enby striped girl.”
“Hunter and Vee.” Luz said to herself. “But what about Amity? Why is she suddenly a horrible murdering monster?!”
Jungle Hunter frowned, or at least that was what he was probably trying to do with his horrible mouth.
“Because she has been possessed.”
Luz clenched at this news. Jungle Hunter turned to the open window.
“Another one of my kind had also shared my fate. But unlike me, he’s young, arrogant, greedy. He thinks that without the chains of non-co, he can fight and hunt without yin'tekai. I traveled here to warn you about him.”
“Well you weren't good enough!” Luz shouted, finally getting angry. “You were slow and weak and you couldn't stop Amity from kill-”
“WHICH-” Jungle Hunter growled in his scary voice. “I am going to go after him and bring him to justice. “I thought you needed your help from what I’ve seen in your mind, but I’m going alone.”
He went around to get some supplies for armor he could make. He grabbed knives, clubs and other assortments while Luz thought King clutched onto her legs.
I’m not just gonna sit on the sidelines and let this freakshow save my girlfriend. I’m gonna go help Amity!
But he's right. She thought then as Jungle Hunter looked through some drawers. Glyphs don’t work anymore, Stringbean is gone and my body is still healing.
But then she got an idea.
“Train Me.”
Jungle Hunter, who had abandoned everything he had taken and went back to the window, spun around.
“What?”
Luz knelt at his feet.
“Train me to be like you.”
Jungle Hunter snarled in anger. “Why?”
“You saw in my mind.I’ve done so much, so one assassin can’t make me give up that easily. Besides, you don’t have a vessel to fight the thing, and I don't think that corpse can help.”
Jungle Hunter grimaced (which looked horrifying), but looked down at the corpse to think. Hiding in that sack of much was absolute torture in everyway, and he needed a top specimen to inhabit and attack the traitor.
He signed and said-
“Fine.”
Luz got back up, King sitting at her left foot. “I’m coming too!”
But then Jungle Hunter raised his finger.
“But on one condition.”
Luz grew determined. “What?”
“I go on a date with your mom.”
Luz’;s eyes widened in disbelief and horror. The Hunter shrugged.
“What? She's Hot. Just sayin.”

Did you truly think you could defeat us? Your Azura Book was a gift from us.
It was us who created the illness who stole your dad!
It was us who murdered Manny Noceda, with a single spell!
All that has happened was by our design!
That useless corpse was merely a pawn, set in motion by us to destroy our traitoress brother and repair our fantasy. Now, at last, we have repaired it!
We are…finally HAPPY!
As students and teachers started putting their stuff away, Amity Blight kicked open the door of a cupboard, being quickly followed by her (soon to be Ex) girlfriend, Luz Noceda, who was limping after her (as her foot had been stepped on). They were arguing.
"Amity, Wait!"
"No! I'm not waiting for you anymore!"
Amity broke open the doors to the school, and stomped down the stairs, completely ignoring Luz trying to persuade her. When they were halfway to the gates, Luz grabbed Amity's shoulder and turned her around. "Uhhh WHAT Now? Amity scornfully asked.
"Amity!" Luz stuttered, completely aghast at Amity. "W-w-why?"
Amity snapped back at Luz. "Oh you wanna know why? Cause I got million reasons for it! For starters, you got your butt kicked in five seconds, which is completely stupid since you killed a Titan! I thought you said you weren't Delicate!"
"I didn't say that...
"And you always put yourself in danger for others. If you didn't do it, King wouldn't have tried to save you by releasing the Collector, and making things even worse!"
As they argued, the people who had finished cleaning up the school were leaving, but stopped to see the argument. Luz was taken aback.
"Oh, So you want me to be a selfish monster who doesn't care about her friends?"
"Well to put it simply, I'm sick of being your one dimensional girlfriend and I want to be my own person!"
The crowd watching them was uncomfortable. "And your reason for it is even worse!” She then whined in a mocking tone. "Oh Boo Hoo, my daddy is dead!" There was a sharp intake of breath from the viewers. Luz had never talked about her father. At all. Luz was stunned. “H-how could y
ou?"
Luz, trying to stop it from happening, grabbed Amity's hand. "But Amity...I-I love you."
Amity ripped it, out of her grasp and said, "Well guess what Luz? Love CHANGES!"
"I was totally wrong about you. It's over. I've been trying to figure out what your deal is. A poser? A nerd? A bully... But now I know." She looked straight at Luz, who was horrified.
"You're a Bitch. Luz. You're a Bitch."
She turned and walked away, leaving a horrified silence in her wake.
Luz watched her, absolutely heartbroken at what happened, she looked at the crows, who decided to awkwardly go back to their cleaning, leaving her alone in the courtyard.
“Wh-what the F-”
At the Blight Manor, Amity knocked on the door and was greeted by her father. He opened his mouth to say something, but Amity pushed him aside and went to the basement. She walked in and closed the door, sitting down. A dark shadow loomed over her.
"I felt several emotions when I was alive. Confusion was probably not of them."
Amity looked up, a scowl on her ace a year tracks on her cheek.
"You're a monster."
City Hunter grinned again. "No. I'm an ug- wait you already know."
He shoved himself into her, making her choke and gag. "Amity" looked up with a sickening smile. She walked over to the end of the room and opened a large cage, where she found a bruised, naked gagged child with white hair, who opened his eyes, that widened in shock.
"Hello, Collector." She said, reaching to her skirt. "You wanna have some fun?"
The Collector swallowed.
Caleb's patch on his pants switches pant legs in this pic (any body else Struggle spelling Caleb and Phillips last name???)
ANYGAYZ I WENT TO A CHALK FEST!!!!
I have this weird theory about Luz's dad. So you know how Belos looks a lot different than Philip? Well my theory is that is because Manny Noceda had been to the demon realm before and was Eda's partner in crime against emperor belos. At this time belos still looked basically like Philip. he didn't have his beard anymore of course, but he was like bald now. He was dying because he didn't have enough palisman energy and couldn't find any. so one day, the day of Manny's funeral, emperor belos went to the human Realm and possessed Manny's body and then turned into his monster form and took out manny's soul. Then the soul went into an owl palisman who we call owlbert. Tadaaaa
