Chapter Seventy-One

                                    

                                          
Amity's P.O.V
"Ladies, Gentlemen, and all the assorted demons!!! Welcome to this year's GROM!!!!"  
The crowd roars in approval as King steps up onto the stage.
"I, Gus Porter along with my Co-Host King Clawthorne, will be your commentators for tonight's main event!!
King climbs up onto the stage and gave the crowd a happy and very adorable 'Weh'," You got that right Gus! As you know, because of all the craziness these last five months. Grom is gonna be much more aggressive so please note that the first seven rows are gonna be one hell of a splash zone!!!"
I blocked out most of their commentary as I took a deep breath to calm the handful of nerves I have about fighting Grom. Of course, this wasn't my first Grom and I've seen what the nightmare goop monster was but it was different this time. 
This time around, it was me who had to face the beast and the whole school was going to see what exactly my biggest fear is. I know that Grom would take the form of my ex-mother as she was one of the fears I had growing up till I met Luz but my biggest and deepest fear...
"Ami?" I felt the familiar warmth and softness of Luz's hand in mine.  I turned to look at my handsome girlfriend as she gave me the biggest grin ever," You got this! And Grom should be the one scared because it's about to face off against one of the strongest witches I know!!"
She lets go of my hand and gets into some kind of fighting pose," All you gotta do is bring out your kickass abomination gauntlets and give a good one-two like pow!!"
She punches the air with her cheeks puffed out a bit and the face she was making made me laugh a bit at how silly she looked. Though it did ease some of my nerves as Luz sticks her tongue out at my childishly.
"And and!!" She starts as her cheeks turned light pink, "If you need help, I'll come down and show Grom what happens when it messes with my Amity!!"
I gave Luz a small kiss on her cheek as my heart warmed at her words," That's very kind of you, sunshine, but this time it's my turn to be your fearless champion."
"Now you know her! You love her!! Please welcome this year's Grom Queen, Amity Blight!!! Girlfriend to the savior of the Isles and our Top Abomination student!!!!"
I gave Luz a confident grin as the spotlight shone on me," Wish me luck sunshine, and remember that you promised me a dance after this."
|~~~~~~THE BATTLE FIELD~~~~~~|
3rd P.O.V
As Amity Blight stepped up to the plate and looked down at Grom's lair, she didn't feel the sense of dread and fear she had just a few moments ago. This time all she could feel was determination and pride.
Determination to prove herself that she was more than her former family's name and pride that this time around, she was the one who was protecting her sunshine and found family.
The crowd cheers and roars in excitement as Amity walks up to the two stone walls that had weapons of all shapes and forms lined up on them. She had to thank her former family for those dumb weapon lessons that she, Edric, and Emira were forced to partake in when they were younger as she took the perfectly balanced short sword and created a makeshift shield out of her abomination goop.
"Okay ladies and gents, it seems that my badass sister has chosen her weapon of choice but will it be enough to slay the repressed Grom??"
At those words, both Gus and King pressed the button and the arena appears. I look over at Luz who was sitting on Eda's lap and give her a small wave as I venture forward towards my fate.
