New Point of View

Chapter 3

"That's not all it can do." I did exactly what cannon Luz did and got it working. People started piling in front of the stand before Eda looked at me with a smirk.

"What did you say your name was kid?" I can see the cogs in her head turning. She seems to have noticed my hair color too which widened her eyes slightly.

"I'm Luz, I'm not exactly from around here." She couldn't tell but I was smiling slightly behind the mask. She was about to say something else before I gasped and saw something behind her that I really wanted. I ran past her and grabbed the electric/acoustic guitar before putting it on.

"I see you noticed one of my weirder finds. I think it's a screaming device used for torture." I laugh at that before playing a couple of cords. She looks at me a bit surprised before I start talking.

"This is called a guitar, it's like a human bard instrument." She seems to understand this analogy.

"No wonder I could never get it working like you did. Never liked bards stupid song birds if you ask me." She shook her head before I started playing a song I loved back home. Luckily this guitar was able to switch between a more electric tone to an acoustic one.

"They call me the kid with a cardboard face

Pencil a smile or frown then erase

Make me a monster with paper mache

I'm the kid with the cardboard face

I drew on a hat with some black sunglasses

A girl took my shades and she sharpies eyelashes

A boy took my SnapBack and burned my hair straight

I'm the kid with the cardboard face"

The crowd quieted down and I had noticed a few familiar green haired siblings in the mix. I nodded at them to come a bit closer and they did, albeit confused about why. At least until I got to the next bit.

"But I met a girl with a porcelain name

Easy to talk to but hard to explain

What do I do when I'm falling for you

The girl with the porcelain name

Meets a kid with a cardboard face"

I stared straight at Amity as I sang. The twins got big grins on their faces before nudging a slightly blushing but very annoyed Amity. I smirk at the fact I made her blush before winking at her. I could feel a pull to her, but I couldn't do anything about it yet. All I could do was wait until the time was right. Well....maybe have some fun on the way.....shouldn't cause any trouble right? What I didn't realize was that a certain fidget spinner was filming and posting the entire thing on penstagram.

"She went to an artist to make her look new

To cover her scars like a shotgun tattoo

The colors they stayed but then faded away

The girl with the porcelain name"

Everyone looked a bit confused at the shotgun part but shrugged it off and kept listening. The twins were now trying to get Amity to come closer, probably to the fact that I was discreetly glancing her way every time I sang the last line.

"But I met a girl with a porcelain name

Easy to talk to but hard to explain

What do I do when I'm falling for you

The girl with the porcelain name

Meets a kid with a cardboard face"

The twins decided to join me on the next part and learned on my shoulders. They smirked before little lights started sprouting out of the ground. The shock in their faces and everyone else's was enough to tell me no one was doing this.

"But I met a girl with a porcelain name

Easy to talk to but hard to explain

What do I do when I'm falling for you

The girl with the porcelain name

Meets a kid with a cardboard face"

Everyone seems to have chalked it up to bard magic and started enjoying the performance again. The twins had gone back to their sister and were looking at me like I just did something g impossible. Odd.

"But I met a girl with a porcelain name

She's easy to talk to but hard to explain

What do I do c'mon tell me it's true

The girl with the porcelain name

Loves a kid with a cardboard face"

I give one last strum before the crowd erupts into cheers and eventually disperses. The twins wanted to run up to me but were dragged away by a blushing Amity.

"Where'd you learn how to do that kid?" Eda was looking surprised and amazed but her curiosity shined through.

"Oh, I'm self taught. By the way you never gave me your name." Everything that happens next is almost exactly like cannon, the guards show up and try to take Eda away, the only difference is that I'm flying on my own staff and no one knows I'm human yet. Holy crap this is so cool. We landed pretty well. I fell on my face, but hey it's my first time don't judge me. Eda snorted at me.

"You're a little young for a staff aren't you kid?" She looked amused but also wary. I don't blame her, normally you don't get a staff until you graduate or make one yourself. Most 14 year olds don't have the capacity to make one and there was no way I graduated yet.

"Tell that to the person who gave it to me." She looked like she wanted to ask more questions but let it go. Probably thought that it was something she shouldn't question yet.

"Well kid, since you're here i might as well show you where i live." She leads me to the Owl House. It was so much cooler in person.

"Cool." I looked around a bit before asking, "But aren't you worried that those guards followed us?" Though I know they didn't.

She shakes her head before saying, "Nope. My house has a state‐of‐the‐art defense system." She guided me to the front door before I saw hooty move.

"Hoot Hoot, password please." Oh dios mio that's creepy in person.

"We don't have time for this Hooty, let us in." Eda pokes his eyes, thankfully her nails don't poke them out.

"Fine! You never let me have any fun. Ow! Hoot." I snicker at this and he opens his mouth and we walk through it, earning a burp when he closes up again.

"Welcome to..." she snaps her fingers and everything lights up, "The Owl House." I give a little gasp and look around. "Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the cops. Mm, also ex‐boyfriends." she chuckles at herself before I take off my hood.

"This place is amazing," I looked over to her before remembering a very adorable character, "You live alone?"

She crosses her arms before leaning against the wall and smirking at me, "I do have a roommate." At this, just like in the show, King comes stomping towards the main room.

"Who dares intrude upon I, The king of demons!" He's so cute i can't help it,

"Aye que lindo!" I had to hug him, there was no way I could have not. "Oh you're so adorable!" He is squirming but that doesn't stop my hugging.

"EDA who is this monster?!" I am picked up by my jacket, the sudden jerk causing my mask to fall off and my ears to return to their normal state. Eda's eyes go wide before she grabs my shoulders and starts examining my face.

"Umm......I can explain?"
