Chapter Twenty-Six

                                    

                                          
"Okay King, run the plan by me one more time."
King and I were suiting up, which was just taping thick books on out bodies and putting on football helmets 
"Beast mom is most likely back in her run on her nest," King starts as he puts on small hockey gloves," I am going to lure her with my glow pen and while I do that, you draw the biggest light spell on the wall over at the end of the hall."
I nod and grab the big red crayon King was able to find in our hiding spot.
"Got it!" I tighten my hockey gloves and we both give eachother a determin look," We both have our mission! Now let's get out momma back!!"
"Yeah!!!"
3rd P.O.V 
After Luz and King prepared as much as they could, they quitely make their way out of their hiding spot.
King nodded towards his big sister and Luz immediately dashes over to her spot.
The littlest and youngest Clawthorne took a deep breathe and dashes over to his mom's bedroom. Sure enough the beast was there tearing through something.
'Titan please let this work' He prays silently.
He leans against the door frame of the room, faking a confident and calm persona, and started to clicking his pen, making the star on the top light up.
The beast immediately stop tearing up the room and looks at the tiny demon with interest, "Oh what do we have here?"
The beast immediately stopped doing what it was doing and tilts it head towards the small child, growl of confusion and intrigued following.
"Well if you want it..." King clicks it rapidy," THEN COME AND GET IT!!!"
With that he bolted out of there and screams out of fear as the beast Eda went after him, trying her best to get the sparkle thing for her nest.
As they were approaching the end of the hall quickly, King quickly yell out as he see Luz finishing up the symbol.
"LUUUUUUUZZZZ!!!! DO IT NOW!!!!!"
"WE'RE SORRY MOMMA!!!!"
With a hard slap on the wall, Luz unleashed the biggest and brightest light spell anyone has ever seen. The beast tried to cover its eyes but it was too late as the entire house was engulfed with a bright golden light.
And with that the beast fainted from sensory overload.
King and Luz immediately poured the orange potion in its mouth and looks on in both relief and awe as the beast instantly changed back into their mom.
They cried tears of joy as the both of them quickly moved her back to her room, placing her into her nest and covering her in blankets.
But neither wanted to leave her alone so they decided that tonight was a 'stay close to mom night'..
So they quickly made their way into their mom's nest and hug her tightly.
King was the first to pass out and after checking for any signs of the curse on her momma, Luz followed her little brother and finally accepted the blissful embrace of sleep.
~The Morning: 6 am~
Eda's P.O.V 
I woke up bolted up in bed, gasping for air hard as I pat down my entire body.
'I-I'm okay!? But I didn't take my elixir last night before I passed out and the kids were-!' My brain finally caught to me and felt my entire tense up.
'THE KIDS'
I was about to jump out of my bed, when I heard the sound of two sets of soft snoring. Looking down, I felt my body relax completely as I saw my kids sleeping soundly on either side of me. Though judging by the homemade armor, the tight grip on my pink sweater and the faint sight of a tear track on Luz's face, they saw what I became.
'Fuck, titain damnit!!! They weren't suppose to know!! H-How am I going to-!'
"Mmm momma?" I look to my right to see Luz rubbing her eyes sleepily, but the instant she sees me awake and myself, she gave me the tightest hug imaginable," Y-You okay!!! W-we were scared that y-you were gone a-and when we saw the b-beast!"
She was full blown balling her eyes out, waking up King in the process but once his yellow and magenta eyes were on me, he started crying too and apologizing for stealing her elixir.
These two rascals were clinging onto me for dear life and I didn't mind one bit. I held my kids in my arms and gently console them as I told them that they are safe and that I'm not mad.
"M-momma what was that beast you turned into? And why do have to take those weird exlirs." Luz asks as I gently wipe away her tears.
I knew she would ask that question after everything that happend bit even so, I was still nervous at how they would react about me keeping this a secret.
I took a deep breath and just decided to be one hundred percent honest with them," The beast I turned into is called the Owl Beast. More than forty years ago, I was cursed that if I were to over use my magic or during stressful time my body transform into that."
I gave her and King a gentle smile and kisses both the kids on the forehead," But with the right steps, my elixir, and the two of you giving me motivation the curse can be manageable. Now how we go back to sleep, it's still too early."
They both laugh but before they could agree, we all heard Hooty yells out," Hello?? Hoot I'm on the floor and it's cold!!!"
"On second thought, let's fix up Hooty and clean up a bit because I'm see alot of damage."
King was about to protest when he excited tugs on his sister's shirt," Luz show her!! You gotta show it!!!"
I looked at the two of them confused as Luz draws a weird symbol on a piece of random paper. She gently taps it and to my surpise, she made a small ball of light.
I felt so proud of her and gently ruffles her," I knew you would figure it out hun now. Come along family, we gotta fix an annoying door and clean but afterwards it's a cuddle and crystal ball night."
Both kids cheer and I felt my smile grow as they run out my room to help Hooty. These were the moments I would protect with all my life as I follow them out my room.
'One day I'll find out who did this to me and when I do I'm gonna sock them in the jaw!'
