Luz looked at the bottle of apple blood. (The non-alcoholic kind)
Eda won’t know if I just take a little bit.
Luz had tried it that morning. She couldn’t believe how good it was!
She reached to take the bottle and promptly knocked it over, spilling the contents of the bottle onto the floor.
“What was that?” Eda asked from a nearby room.
“N-nothing, Eda!”
Eda stuck her head in the room, then gasped.
She fell to her knees in front of the puddle.
She pounded the floor with her fists a few times, then she looked up at Luz then stood and left, burying her head in her hands.
After she had left, Lillith stuck her head in the room. “Luz? Is everything al- oh.”
Luz winced. “Sorry.”
Lillith surprised her by laughing. “It all makes sense now. You should have seen the tantrums she used to throw.”
Luz giggled. “Do you think she’ll be mad?”
Lillith shrugged. “Bribery works. Replace it with the hard stuff, and she’ll forget this happened in a heartbeat.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
