Like, totally! 😡

NO ONE does that to our Sister! 😡

🧙‍♀️🙋‍♀️

out of spells- I STILL say that if Edric or Emira Ever, EVER Find out that this Captain and red kitten Kikimora threw their baby sister into a ditch. Both will face their Wrath!

MA'AM YOUR ASS IS GRASS!

(Eda even mentions it before...)

[em-ira]

Oh~I had my doubts about that illusion!

But you know how enthusiastic Vee can be?

Yeah~it's contagious! 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, Mittens recovered pretty well, all things considered~

And I did get to wear my new outfit! 😊

It's not every day you get to see your little sister married. 👰

🧙‍♀️🙋‍♀️

[em-ira]

Well, The Owl House is only down the road towards Bonesborough from home, so it's easy to call in~

Eda is helping us both with our studies, especially with Potions, her speciality, and something Ed has some real aptitude for. Potions are also useful in the Healing Track.

🧙‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Happy Father's Day to our Dad, Alador! ❤️

Luz has told us that today, in the Human Realm, is the day that Father's are celebrated.

It's always a day of memories for Luz, of course.

Amity is supporting her during this difficult time.

Myself and Edric can understand something of what Luz is going through today, as for a time we thought our Dad was not coming home. 💜

So. I thought that I would extend my best wishes out to everyone who has lost their Father, or for any other reasons finds this day difficult.💜

Best wishes,

Em.

This may be of some interest?

A collection  of articles written by various people, and intended as a source of information for learners.

As the real history of The Isles had been corrupted by the previous administration, considerable research is still underway to uncover the true facts.

The Origin Of Witches In The Demon Realm...

By Edalyn Clawthorne

Our old tales tell of a race of Elven people who once lived in the Human Realm, but were basically driven out by the changes wrought by the Humans as they became more technically advanced, and separated from the natural world order.

In some areas, religious fervour led to the Elven people being perceived as Demons, and actively hunted down.

This drove the survivors to hide away from the Humans.

In time, the Elven people's original interaction with the Humans was almost forgotten by the Humans, turned into myths and legends.

A chance discovery of a natural portal to the Demon Realm led to the exodus of the Elven people from the Human Realm, into the Demon Realm.

Natural evolution in this different environment, together with the strong magic energy of the Demon Realm led to the Witches we now know.

Continued interaction with the Human Realm led to the Humans becoming aware of the existence of Witches.

Again, religious fervour led the Humans to turn on the Witches, and the infamous Witch Hunts led to the abandonment of most travel between the Realms.

Some Humans that had found their way through natural portals and survived to return to their Realm led to many more Human myths and legends.

Over time, the natural portals became less common, as the Titan Blood that made most of these portals either dried up, was collected, or simply moved to another location.

And so, the knowledge of the existence of the different Realms by the residents of the Realms became generally more legendary than factual.

It's mine and Edric Blight's Birthday on Thursday, May 29, by the Human Realm Calendar...

So a family event Thursday...

We are planning on going to Gravesfield, staying at Luz's home, for the weekend.

There's a Fireworks display on Saturday that He really wants to see!

TOH news will be kept to insta, but if I do a “non-canon” drawing I like I’ll post it here.

Non-canon = Something that doesn’t explicitly happen in the show I suppose? Even creators have head-canons that maybe they couldn’t fit into an episode haha. 

[em-ira]

The Blight Siblings

[em-ira]

Yeah, basically!

The twins: Dad, have you seen Amity? We're playing hide and seek.

Alador, wearing the canister on his back: No, I've been here in the lab testing new equipment.

The twins: Okay, thanks anyway.

The twins leave the lab. Alador looks over his shoulder at the canister, smiling. Toddler Amity peeks through the window of the canister, giggling.

Just noticed your message. I had to do a little sketch because this is just too cute.

Viney is considering the crazy idea that Emira fucking Blight may have a little crush(? in her, but she’s not sure ‘cause Em flirts w everybody (or at least she used to, she had stop recently,,,,)

The Owl House. Season 1 Episode 7, "Lost In Language".

Additional scenes. PART 3.

Amity arrives home, and goes to bed...

And other events...

(Scene: Exterior. The Gate to Blight Manor. Dawn.)

Amity: "Finally!"

*Amity says quietly to herself, as she turned off the road and entered the grounds of Blight Manor.

She sighs.*

All I have to do now, is get in, and up to my room, without being intercepted by Emira and Edric, or potentially worse, Mom or Dad!

*So, quickly and quietly, she makes her way around the edge of the grounds, then across to the West Door.

Slowly, she opens the door, half expecting to be jump scared by the Twins...

But thankfully, no...not this time.

With the door closed behind her, she creeps up the stairs, then down the corridor, to her room.

She quickly looks back down the corridor, relieved that it was still empty, then opens her door and with a big sigh of relief, closes the door behind her.

She puts Luz's Azura book on the sideboard,  and throws herself face down on her bed! *

Amity: "Dang! I'm SO tired!"

She mutters, as she rolls over onto her side, and drifts off to sleep.

(The scene fades from color to monochrome, black and white...)

*Amity and Luz are being sewn into a book by the mutated Otabin...

But by rocking the book until it falls over, Luz has managed to give them a chance to escape.

Running under the book, they get away... *

Amity: "Now What?"

Luz: "I don't know?! I didn't even think that would work! I was all 'Harrrrahh'!..."

*Amity can't help but giggle at how impetuous Luz had been, and her expression...

But then a huge needle pierces the book, and Otabin starts to pull it back towards him!

Amity tries desperately to grab onto a ladder on one of the bookshelves...

She holds on, hoping to break free of the stitches!

But she fails, as her hold on the ladder slips away...

And Otabin once again has them...

More stitches are wrapped around Amity, and are being pulled tighter!

She screams! "Noooooo!"*

(The scene fades into color...)

*She jolts awake! Wrapped in the bedding, she becomes aware of  knocking on her bedroom door...and Emira's voice... *

Em: "Mittens?! Are you ok?"

*Amity shakes her head, trying to clear the nightmare!

Still groggy, she answers...*

Amity: "Emira? Y-You'd better come in..."

*As Amity untangles herself from her bedding, she becomes aware that tears are running down her face!

She was feeling awful, a tightness in her chest, and her throat hurt...her breathing was rapid...*

Titan! I am in a bad way!

Em: "Coming!"

*Emira opens the door and steps inside. Seeing her Sister sitting on her bed, she gasps... *

Em: "W-Whats wrong!"

*Emira rushes to her side, concerned...*

Amity: "Urgh! Yes...Y-You don't know!"

Em: "What don't I know? Is it about your diary? Only..."

*Amity interrups her sister... *

Amity: "Do you remember when Ed got Luz to draw on Otabin? In the book?

Well, that made Otabin into a Monster!

And after you left, he...he captured me...and..."

*Amity stops, breathing deeply, the tears still running...

Emira's eyes widen! She hadn't seen Amity like this for ages, she looks terrified, upset, and confused.*

Em: "Mittens..."

*She begins... sitting next to Amity...

Amity suddenly throws her arms around Emira, sobbing...and Emira holds her closely.

Amity sighs, fighting to pull herself together.*

Amity: "He was changed! He-He tried to sew me and Luz into a book!"

*Emira gasps!

Is this what happened after me and Edric had left the Library?!

Amity: "He-He was trying to find and keep friends! And-And he almost got us! It was awful..."

*Edric appears in the doorway...

He yawns...*

Ed: "What's going on?"

*Amity breaks free from Emira, and points angrily at Edric...*

Amity: "You! It's all your fault!"

*Edric holds up his hands...*

Ed: "Whoa? What did I do?"

Em. Speaking quietly: "Ed... come in and close the door!"

Em: "Amity? Hold on...I know we've done things, and ..."

*As Edric comes in and closes the door, Amity interrupts Emira.*

Amity: "You! You are both to blame!"

*She looks angrily at her siblings, as Edric stands by Emira...*

Amity: "You-Your stupid antics almost got me killed tonight!"

*Edric looks confusedly at Emira...his eyes wide...*

Ed: "What? What did we do?"

Em: "Ed?" She pats the bed next to her..."You'd best sit down!

Amity was just telling me about what happened at the Library, after we left..."

*Amity takes a deep breath...her emotions are running high, a mixture of anger, fear, and relief that she had actually survived, that her experience in the nightmare she had just woken up from had actually ended well...*

Amity: "Edric? You-You made Luz draw on Otabin in the book, didn't you?"

Ed: "Uh, I guess I did? Did she..."

Amity: "Ed! That made dear Otabin into a Monster! He-He tried to sew me, and Luz, in to a book!..."

*Edric looks shocked. He hadn't thought anything like that could happen...*

Amity: "We almost DIED Ed!"

Ed: "What!... That...That wasn't meant to happen!..."

*Amity sighs, sniffs, and wipes her eyes with her hands... breathing deeply, calming down slightly...

Emira looks at Amity, very concerned now...*

Em: "Amity? None of us expected that to happen? You know that?"

*Amity sighs again.*

Amity: "Yes...I guess that was not meant to happen...

But none of you thought of the consequences of your actions!

Titan, you were not even meant to be IN the Library tonight!"

Ed. Speaking quietly: "Yes, you're right...I guess..."

*He looks down...and sighs sadly...*

Ed: "I'm sorry that happened to you Sis...I-I never wanted to actually hurt you, you know?"

Em: "Yes, none of us wanted you to actually get hurt by a monster...that was NEVER meant to happen!"

*She puts an arm around her brother to comfort him.

Amity looks at her Siblings, and can see that they seem remorseful...but still, she wasn't really finished yet!*

Amity: "Well! I should hope you're both sorry!

I've just had the worst nightmare!

You have NO IDEA!"

*She sighs, deeply...*

Amity: "Lucky for you, Luz and I managed to survive...and clear up the mess YOU two caused!...

BUT...I still haven't forgotten about what you two were planning on doing with MY DIARY!"

Emira and Edric look at each other, remembering what they had decided to do about that, earlier...

(See Additional scenes PART 1)

*Emira waves her free hand...*

Em: "OK. Yes. We were wrong. Totally wrong, and we know now that it was a really bad idea?"

Ed: "You've got to believe us? We've talked about this...It was a BIG mistake...."

*Amity looks at The Twins, surprised at this show of contrition.*

They seem genuinely sorry about the whole thing?

Amity: "NOW you understand? NOW you're sorry?

You actually planned to post MY DIARY AROUND THE SCHOOL?!

And NOW you think that was a BAD IDEA?!"

*She sighs in exasperation...*

What on The Isles am I going to do with these dorks!

Em: "Yeah? It's true. That was the absolutely worst plan we have EVER had!

Titan! If we HAD done it, you'd probably never have talked to us ever again?!"

Ed: "And that would have been... TERRIBLE!"

*Amity shakes her head. She can't believe her eyes and ears...*

Both of them look so sad.

*Unbidden, a memory of the Twins trying to comfort her after she had been forced to tell Willow to leave her Birthday Party all those years ago comes into her mind...

She calms down a little more...*

Amity: "You'd better believe it! That would have been the last thing! I would have totally disowned the pair of you!

Whatever gave you that idea in the first place?"

Em: "Believe me...I asked myself that! I can only suggest that we were under some pressure?

You hadn't exactly been behaving like we were family?

You remember? Getting us into trouble at school? And at home?

Whose side were you meant to be on Sis?"

Ed: "Yes? What did we do to you to deserve that?"

*Amity looks at the Twins...*

Oh! Maybe I have been a little zealous, trying to impress the Principal and Teachers at Hexside, trying to win my 'Top Student' badge back, after the 'Abomination Incident'...

Maybe I HAVE forgotten whose side I was meant to be on... family?

*She looks down, and sighs...*

Amity: "I guess I haven't exactly been the best sister lately? But really, you do sometimes get YOURSELVES into trouble, you know...

It's not always been my fault?"

Em: "Yeah, makes sense...you weren't the only one complaining I guess?

Maybe we should be a little more careful about getting caught out?"

Ed: "So? Can we all be friends again Sis?

I'm really sorry?

I-I have missed us doing stuff together..."

Em: "Yeah...me too!"

*Amity shakes her head again.

How can she remain so annoyed with the Twins?

They were often annoying, sometimes exasperatedly so...

But they were her Siblings, and the past fun and games they had all shared were good memories, and something that Amity treasured. Though she wouldn't tell THEM that!

With all the pressure, and expectations, that her Mother had laid on her, she had often quietly cried herself to sleep. Afraid to get Emira and Edric involved, not wanting to appear weak...

She had retreated into her happier memories...

Amity sighs,  long, and deeply...*

Amity: "OK? So maybe we should have a truce? Maybe start again with our relationship?

Titan knows how annoying you two can be!

But maybe we can get along better?"

*Emira grins...*

Em: "You can be annoying too, you know! But yeah, let's agree to try harder to get along with each other?

Like the old days? Siblings against the world?"

Ed: "Siblings against the world! Yeah!"

*Amity smiles, these dorks did deserve another chance...but she would be watching them!*

Amity: "OK...It's agreed. We shall see how it goes from here...

Now I guess we ought to get ready for breakfast?

Have you seen the time?!"

*Both Emira and Edric look towards the clock in Amity's room...

It is definitely morning now!*

*And so, another weekend starts at Blight Manor.

The Twins return to their adjoining rooms, and ger ready for the day ahead...

Amity tidies up her bed, and also gets herself ready...

The nightmare was still in the back of her mind...

But so was a warm feeling, whenever she thought about Luz, and how in the midst of the traumatic experience, the Human had actually managed to get a giggle out of her...*

(End)

The Owl House. Season 1. Episode 7. "Lost In Language. "

Additional scenes PART 2.

Additional scenes after Otabin is returned to normal... And Amity thinks about Luz, and the things that had happened, while walking home...

(Scene used on the Series: Interior. Bonesborough Library...)

*Amity has succeeded in freeing Luz from the book.

But the mutated Otabin grabs her, and wraps some thread around her.

The altered book is still on Otabin's front, and Luz is being held close to it...

Amity quickly writes on the page of the book they were almost sewn into.*

Amity: "Luz has to right a wrong"...

*A Magic Eraser appears. *

Amity: "Luz! Quick!"

*Amity throws the Eraser to Luz. *

*Luz catches the Eraser, and uses it to remove the drawn fangs and claws.

In a flash of green, Otabin returns to his usual self and size.

Luz lands on the floor, and Amity scoops up the confused Otabin. *

Otabin : "I'm so sorry...I don't know what came over me."

Amity: "Hey, it's okay, we're still friends."

*She nods to Luz, to close the Otabin book, which is on the floor beside her.

Luz closes the book, and Otabin vanishes in a flash of green...

Luz gets up and walks towards Amity.

They look at each other... *

(Additional scenes start)

*Amity sighs.*

Amity: "Okay. How did THAT happen Luz? Who drew on Otabin? Who changed him? Was it the Twins?"

*Luz looks down.*

Luz: "Hey, errr, actually, not exactly..."

*She blushes.*

Luz: "Well, the Twins discovered that if you drew in a book, that came to life as well..."

*Amity frowns.*

Luz: "And they wanted me to have a go...

Only I was holding the Otabin book, and no way could I do anything to that cute guy!"

Amity: "And then one of the Twins drew on him?"

*Luz looks down again. *

Luz: "Not exactly..."

*She pauses...*

Luz: "Well, it was Edric! He grabbed my hand with the pencil, and made me draw on Otabin!

I didn't want to do it Amity! I really didn't.

I-I thought I'd closed the book...but somehow it must have fallen open as I dropped it"

Amity: "I knew it! It had to be them!

But Luz, can't you see how much trouble those two are? They do things without thinking about the consequences!

Titan! We both could have DIED Luz!

And where are they now? Did they just leave?"

Luz: "Ummm...Well, yeah, I guess they did...

But I wanted to find you, explain about what happened...it wasn't my idea Amity!"

Amity: "I don't know about you, but Emira and Edric really are the worst.

And now they know about my hideaway!

If Mom finds out, she may stop me coming to the Library altogether!

This is my only escape Luz!

The only place I can relax for a while!"

*Luz looks shocked, she didn't know anything about Amity's home life, but it was starting to sound less like the happy family home she had envisaged.*

Luz: "I'm sorry, I really am... maybe they won't tell anyone else?"

Amity: "You really don't know them, do you?"

*Luz looks sad, and shakes her head.*

Luz: "I guess I don't..."

*Amity looks around, at the overturned bookcase, and the books scattered around.*

"Oh my Titan! If Malphas sees this mess, there will be trouble!"

*Luz also looks around.*

"Sure...we can clean this up? Can't we?"

*Luz goes over to the overturned bookcase that had fallen on Otabin...

She tries to lift the bookcase, but it won't move.*

Luz: Dang! Week Nerd Arms!

*Amity smiles slightly.*

Amity: "I have an Idea. If you can start picking up the books, I may have something in my hideaway, that can help..."

Luz: "Okay, but be careful...I hope there's nothing else dangerous around!"

Amity: "I'll be careful, and I won't be long."

*As Amity heads towards her hideaway, Luz starts picking up the books, and putting them in tidy piles.*

*Amity returns, with an Abomination she had summoned from some Goop she had in her hideaway...

Using the Abomination, Amity gets the bookcase back into it's proper position...

Luz and Amity get all the books back on the shelves, and check everything is tidy, and nothing is loose in the library.

They finally finish, and Amity returns the Abomination to its cask.

As they go to leave, Luz collects her bag from the lobby, where she put it down as she had entered...

The big window is showing that the sky is lightening, the Sun is starting to rise!

(Additional scenes end)

(Scene used in the Series: Exterior. Bonesborough Library. The sun is rising...)

*On the steps, Luz smiles at Amity.*

Luz: "What an adventure! Thanks for helping clean up..."

*Amity tries to regain her aloofness once more...*

Amity: "This never happened!"

*Luz goes into her bag, and pulls out her copy of The Good Witch Azura Book 5...*

Luz: "Wait! This doesn't make up for reading your diary...but, do you want to borrow this?"

*She offers the book towards Amity...*

Luz: "I noticed that you only had up to four?"

*Amity takes the book.*

Amity: "Thank you."

*She takes a few steps, then turns...*

Amity: "Maybe you aren't a Bully...I haven't exactly been the friendliest Witch either...I'll think on that..."

*And with that, Amity leaves, heading home.

(Additional scenes start)

Luz sighs, and a few beats later, she also heads off, back towards The Owl House...*

(Scene changes to follow Amity...)

*Amity walks slowly but surely away from the Library, as Bonesborough starts coming to life for the new day.

It's the Weekend, so, luckily there is no school to worry about.

Instead, she starts thinking about all that happened during the night.

Conflicting thoughts are fighting for prominence.*

How could Em and Ed have gotten so vengeful and so, well, unfriendly?

What AM I going to do about them?

*Luz and Amity had spent some time making good the mess that had been caused during the fight against the mutated Otabin.

They had made it look like nothing had happened.

As Amity had said to Luz..."This never happened..." *

Dang! It looks like the Twins are going to get away with this one too!

*Amity briefly growls, before a small smile comes across her face, as she remembers how Luz had tried to rescue her, dressed as Azura, well Luzura!

And how even when they were both in dire danger, Luz had still been able to do things that actually made her chuckle!

Then Amity thinks about how Luz had tried to explain everything that had happened.

But all Amity could think about was how stupidly, and without any thought for the consequences, the Twins had behaved.

As to what might have happened to her Diary, if she hadn't been there?

Thank the Titan she had overheard them discussing their plans with Luz outside the library after they had gotten themselves thrown out... again!

She thinks about that...*

So, it was thanks to Luz I got to hear the plans?

It was thanks to Luz that the Twins were delayed in getting my diary, giving me a chance to intervene?

BUT, it was also thanks to Luz, and the Twins, that I was almost sewn into a book!

*She shudders at the thought, but then brightens up a little, as she remembers Luz being so impulsive, when she led the way in the escape attempt while they were both trapped!

She nods...*

Yes, the Human just didn't seem to ever think things through.

*She sighs, also remembering herself as a younger Witchlet, and how she had also been a little impulsive?*

Yes? And how Em and Ed had, often, covered up for me when things went wrong?

Wait?! How long ago WAS that?

It seems to be forever ago!

*She shakes her head, getting back to reality.

She stops walking, and looks around, checking where she had walked to while deep in thought...

She was by the Park. By the Slayground...

A fleeting memory of being pushed on the swings by Em, while Ed swung on his own swing alongside hers passes through her mind...

Amity shrugs, and holding the Azura book tightly, she turns and walks a little more quickly up the road towards home...

Still thinking... *

Luz. What WAS going on with her? What did the Human really want?

Every time Luz gets involved, I end up in some sort of trouble!

Luz helped Willow cheat! And made me lose my Top Student badge. All because of that!

She embarrassed me at the Covention...in front of Lilith Clawthorne, of ALL people!

That is MY FUTURE! The Emperor's Coven!

Isn't it?

But then Luz tried so hard to explain, to apologize for how everything had just gotten out of control, as the event had turned into a fight between the Clawthornes...

*Amity sighs.

Somehow, there was something familiar about Luz's drive, her determination to be a Witch... despite being told that Humans couldn't be Witches... *

Am I seeing a part of myself reflected back in Luz?

How I have worked so hard to fulfill mom's plans for my future?

Dang! Luz is making me think about things I don't usually think about, and do things I wouldn't normally think about doing!

*She shakes her head and carries on homeward...*

The Owl House Season 1 Episode 7

Additional scenes PART 1.

Additional scenes after the Twins leave the Library, on their way home, and at Blight Manor.

(Scene used in the episode. Interior, Bonesborough Library, outside Amity's Hideaway)

*As the Twins turn around to leave the Library, Emira says to Luz...*

Em: "See you around, Cutie!"

*As Luz briefly blushes, the Twins head off out of the Library.*

(Additional scenes start)

*As they turn a corner, Ed pipes up...*

Ed: "Did you have to say that Emi? Did you see Luz blush?"

Em: "Ahh, it's nothing Ed. She just reminds me of Mittens. You know, before..."

Ed: "Before Mom changed her? Turned her against us? Turned her into Mini-Mom?"

Em: "Yeah, before all that, when she was fun to be with, when she was adventurous, and a bit silly...when she was our precious Mittens..."

*She falls silent, as Ed nods, also remembering how their little sister used to be...*

*As the pair leaves the Library, Ed speaks again...*

Ed: "Do you think they're going to be alright? Mittens wasn't exactly in a friendly mood when she left?"

Em: "Uhuh. Granted Luz may suffer more rejection, but you remember how much Mittens talks about the Human?"

*She grins*

"And haven't you noticed how our dear sister blushes and has difficulty speaking whenever Luz is near?

And I do believe that Luz acts just the same..."

*Ed grins*

Ed: "So? You're saying that maybe our Mittens is Smittens? She has a crush on Luz?"

*They carry on walking, away from the Library...*

Em: "It makes sense to me...the way she denies that there is anything between them?

I think that maybe our precious Mittens is denying it too much?"

*Ed shrugs*

Ed: "But? A Human? And a Witch?"

*Em shrugs*

Em: "Pointy ears and magic aside, there does't seem to be much difference Ed?

You and me both had a good time with her earlier at the Library.

I don't recall either of us took any notice that Luz wasn't actually a Witch then?"

*Ed nods*

Ed: "True. To be honest, I kinda forgot all about it."

*Em goes quiet again, she is visibly thinking about something...*

Em: "Uhuh..."

*Ed goes quiet too, watching his sister's face as she is thinking...*

*Finally, Em breaks the silence.*

Em: "I don't really feel like going Goblin tipping tonight..."

*Ed looks at his sister, a concerned look on his face...*

Ed: "You're thinking about something?

Do you want to tell me?"

Em. "Uhhh?

It's just something that Luz said and did earlier?

You know, when we were explaining what we were planning to do with Amity's Diary?"

*Ed's face falls slightly. He is also thinking about that...*

Ed: "Um...Yep?

It seemed like a good plan at the time?"

Em: "Yeah! After all, we can only be pushed so far, isn't that right?"

Ed: "I should think so...Just lately, our sister has been intensively reporting on us at School, and at home too..."

Em: "Thinking about it, that may be something to do with her trying to prove herself, to get that Dang Top Student Badge back?

She's definitely gotten worse since the Abomination Incident..."

*Ed nods*

Ed: "Hmmm. You're right..."

Em: 'Anyways, Luz was trying to tell us that we were going too far with the Diary Plan...

And I'm beginning to feel that maybe she was right?"

Ed: "But it was Tough Love, and for her own good, we are her family? We know what's best for her?

Don't we?"

*The Twins are walking from the Library, towards the road out of town, towards the Forearm Forest, and now they are passing the Park, and the Slayground...*

*Em sighs...looks towards the swings, and points at them...*

Em: "Well... Yeah, I thought we did...

You wanna sit for a while?"

*Ed follows his Sisters gaze, and pointing finger, and nods*

Ed: "Yep! I could do with a rest, we haven't sat down for ages!"

*The pair go into the Slayground, and sit on the larger swings, that are just big enough for the teens...*

*Em sighs again, she looks pensive...*

Em: "Remember how Mom would embarrass us, like when she'd tell us off in that way? Telling us we were letting the Family down? That Blights didn't behave like that?"

Ed: "Uhuh..."

Em: "And how we would overhear her telling Dad that it was for our own good? Tough Love? And for the good of The Family?"

Ed: "Yeeeah?"

Em: "Well...That's exactly what WE were doing Ed!"

Ed: "Wait! What?!"

*Em sighs*

Em: "WE were doing the same thing to Mittens!

Well, we would have been just as bad!

Possibly worse!"

Ed: "Worse?"

*Em nods...*

Em: "Ed? Try and imagine how you would feel, if all your secrets were posted around the School, for anyone to see?"

Ed: "I would be very annoyed..."

*He looks down...*

"Oh!...And..."

*He shakes his head*

"Dang!...All my secrets?...I'd never be able to be taken seriously again!

I'd have to change school? Or just disappear?"

*A look of realization came over his features...*

*Em silently nods, she can see her Brother has realized the gravity of the situation...*

*Ed audibly gasps...*

Ed: "Oh! My! Titan!

We were going to do that! To Mittens!

Oh! She would literally kill us!"

Em: "Well, at least, never ever talk to us again!

We would loose our Sister!"

*Em starts gesturing with her hands, a look of emotional stress on her face...*

"Dang! She might even leave Home!

Leave Bonesborough!

Join the Emperor's Coven!

And we'd never see her again!"

*Tears start forming in her eyes, as she looks despairingly at her Brother...she talks more quietly...*

Em: "Ed? We could have done it!

If it wasn't for Luz, and Mittens turning up...

If we HAD found her Diary..."

*Ed looks aghast... shocked both at what he was realizing could have happened, and what was happening with his Sister...

A feeling like fear came over him, and he felt physically sick...He also talks quietly, almost inaudible...*

Ed: "Emi?"

*He takes a deep breath, trying to hold his emotions in check...*

Ed: "How did it come to this?

That we could ever have even thought about doing that to our little Sister?"

*He sniffs, his eyes going glossy...*

*Em is looking down at her feet, breathing deeply...*

Em: "I dunno Ed?"

*She also sniffs*

Em: "I just dunno?"

*Ed stands up from his swing, and stands behind Em on her swing.

He puts both hands on her shoulders, and gently rubs them...*

Ed: "It's OK Emi? We didn't do it?"

*He sighs...*

Em: "Uhuh..."

Ed: "I guess we've had a lucky escape?"

*Em sighs*

Em: "Yeeeah? I guess we have?"

*She takes a deep breath...*

Em: "We HAVE to learn from this Ed!"

*Ed nods, his hands still massaging his Sister's shoulders...*

Ed: "We will Emi...We must!"

*Em carefully stands, causing Ed to remove his hands from her shoulders.

She moves around the swing, and hugs her brother tightly...*

Em: "Oh Ed!"

*The two stand there, by the swings in the Slayground.

Both hugging onto the other, both crying, an emotional release...

The sky begins to lighten on the Eastern Horizon, as they finally stop crying, wiping their eyes with their hands...*

*Em grins awkwardly... she is trying to lighten the tone, recover some decorum!*

Em: "Dang it Ed! That's made a right mess of my makeup!"

*Ed also awkwardly laughs briefly...*

Ed: "Dang! You're right! We'd best get home! You can't be seen out like that!"

*The mood lightened, the Twins look at each other, and a look of determination comes over their faces...*

*Meanwhile, the town of Bonesborough is starting to come back to life after the night... Ratworm Carts are starting to move along the streets, and in the distance, the first shops are starting to get ready to open...*

Em: "Yeah! It's morning already!

Dang! We need to get home before anyone realizes we've not been in bed!"

Ed: "Oh! Yep!"

*With a last look into each other's faces, the Twins turn, and head quickly towards the road towards Blight Manor.*

(The scene ends as they disappear around a corner...the view swings around, showing the first light appearing above the roof of the Library... before cutting back to the gate at the entrance to Blight Manor...The Twins arrive home...)

*Quickly, trying hard not to be seen by anyone, the Twins creep off the road, through the Gate, and around the edge of the grounds of Blight Manor.

Finally, they run across to the West side door. The door that leads directly to the stairs up to the Blight Siblings rooms.

Opening the door, they rush inside, quietly closing the door behind them.

Both look at each other, a look of relief on each of their faces.

No one had been waiting for them!

Still being silent, they climb up the stairs, and into Emira's room.

Sitting on her bed, Edric breaks the silence...*

Ed. Speaking quietly: "So? What are we going to do about Mittens, and Luz, after tonight?"

*Emira sighs, as she tried to think about how to start...*

What indeed are we going to do?

Em:"I dunno exactly, Ed..."

*She waves her hands...*

Em: "I guess that maybe we both ought to get some sleep?

It'll soon be time to get up for breakfast!"

*Ed nods. That made sense to him. He yawns!*

Ed: "You're right, of course, sleep first, we can work out what we need to do afterwards?"

*He shrugs...*

Ed: "It's gonna be awkward to start with, I reckon?"

*Emira grins, and nods...*

Em: "Yeah, that's why we need to sleep! To be fresh later...

I'm not exactly looking forward to what Mittens is probably going to say to us!"

Ed: "Right..."

*He groans...*

Ed: "That's not gonna be an easy one at all!"

*Emira smiles...*

Em: "So....get yourself off to your own room, and for Titans sake, get to sleep... don't mess about Ed! I'm counting on you..."

*Edric stood, and theatrically bowed towards his Sister.*

Ed: "Certainly your Ladyship! I will turn in forthwith!"

*He laughs quietly, as he heads to the connecting door into his room...

At the door, he opens it, and turns towards Emira...*

Ed: "Don't worry about anything tonight Sis? We will sort everything out in the morning!"

*Emira grins...*

Em: "Get on with you! Sleep well, and I'll see you later!

Goodnight Ed!"

*Ed waves...*

Ed: "Goodnight Emi..."

*He says as he passes though the door, closing it behind himself...*

*Emira scratches her head briefly, there would be time to think about stuff later...

She got herself ready, and finally, got into her bed, and was quickly asleep, it had been a long and tiring day!*

*And so, none of the Twins was awake, as Amity returned home a little while later...*

(See Additional scenes PARTS 2 and 3.)

[em-ira]

At the time that Amity was in the Human Realm, Edric, and Emira, didn't know if she was even alive.

As far as anyone knew, everybody who went to The Head had died in the cataclysm that had happened there, almost destroying The Head.

They also had no idea of what had happened to Alador, their father!

It was a VERY Traumatic Time for the Twins!

After the reunion (only a little of which was shown in the Series) there were many discussions about what to do next.

Luz, ever the impulsive one, wanted to confront the Collector, and Mittens, Amity, she warned against rushing off...

Edric was pretty well incapacitated.

Emira, along with Viney, was one of the best healers at New Hexside.

Her experience with Mittens when she was little made her a reluctant, but good, carer for the youngest Witchlets.

So Emira was pretty important to the running of the community in New Hexside...

So, it was with great reluctance, that the Twins let their little sister go off with Luz...

Titan. No power on The Isles could have stopped her!
