The Owl House. Season 1 Episode 7, "Lost In Language".
Additional scenes. PART 3.
Amity arrives home, and goes to bed...
(Scene: Exterior. The Gate to Blight Manor. Dawn.)
*Amity says quietly to herself, as she turned off the road and entered the grounds of Blight Manor.
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... *
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!
(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!
*Emira opens the door and steps inside. Seeing her Sister sitting on her bed, she gasps... *
*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.*
*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!"
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...
*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: "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!
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-I have missed us doing stuff together..."
*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?"
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...*
