Showtime

                                    

                                          
[I seriously didn't realise how Luz dress is literally Cinderella's dress from the live action or something. Apologies for this.]



                          
A few moments of silence filled the space between me and Luz, who were now alone in the room. My eyes lingered at the door, but I was completely aware of her presence next to me. I heard her take a sharp breath as I turned around slowly to face my wardrobe door. The silence was finally fully broken other than the soft taps of my shoes against the floor by the creak of the door hinge, making way for a spectacular view of dresses and other bits of clothing. 
                          
"Woah!" Luz's voice sounded VERY close to me, making me whip my head round to meet her face right in front of mine. Immediately, I stumbled back with a squeak escaping my mouth. 
                          
"Dang it, Luz, I barely heard you walk up to me!" I said, watching her chuckle. 
                          
"Sorry," she smiled, "Are you okay?"
                          
With a nod followed by a sigh, I turned my head around and picked out my most favourite clothes. I didn't pick any of the glamorous dresses, the lace decorated leggings or the high neck jumpers. Instead, I picked some comfortable trousers and t-shirts, a nice summer dress and some clothing to wear when I'm not going out. I remembered that I left some clothes at The Owl House, so I didn't have to get many pieces of clothing. 
                          
"Do you mind if I see some of yours?" Her sweet voice asked from beside me. I turned to meet her glimmering gaze, already spacing out, admiring her beautiful skin under the darkening light seeping through the agape window. 
                          
"No, of course not," I finally replied and she skipped a step towards it. I let her busy herself while I looked for another bag to put my stuff in. "It's like a whole museum in here!" She said, her voice muffled as she ventured deeper. She let out a few gasps and ooooh!s and aah!s taking out a few of them from their hangers.
"Wow! Look at this one!" She exclaimed. I giggled at the girl who held up one of my satin blue dresses to her chest while spinning around.
                          
"Careful! Careful!" I said between our laughter. I dumped the bag I found on my bed and made my way up to Luz, who slowed down her small prances. I gawked at her holding the pretty dress up to herself as the swishing of the bottom of the hem of it swooshed to a stop. 
                          
"That dress looks really good on you... Why don't you put it on?" Blue never suited me, but on Luz, the colour really complimented. She gasped, a smile made its way up her lips as she let out a tiny squeal and skirted towards the wardrobe in a hurry. 
It wouldn't hurt to mess around a little.
                          
"Don't look, I'll be changed in a second!" She said, closing the wardrobe door slightly to shelter herself.
                          
I chuckled in reply and turned right around to face away from her direction. I made my way towards the cool breeze of the window, peering over to see our courtyard, filled with flowered bushes and fountains, the sky pinkish purple, slowly darkening. This would probably be the last time I'd see the sky from here. This place never felt like a true place of home... but I was a little sad about leaving. It was probably because of all the times I was hurt. I had gotten so used to the abuse, sometimes it felt wrong if I weren't punished. I had pushed people away when I could, and by that, I mean the good people in my life. Sometimes I felt as if I would be satisfied if I hurt myself, but I've only ever thought of it. I wouldn't dare to pick up anything to do that, no matter how much I felt as if I've been deserted by everything. But I wasn't going to think of that. I wasn't going to go back to those times. I have someone in my life now, someone who truly loved me. She'd protect me from anything and she was always there. Now was the night when all that would change and we could concentrate on Luz's problems more. I'd finally be free. I'd finally get away from them. No, not the twins, they were part of my true family. I mean my parents.
