Luz was walking back to the café, constantly itching her spider bite. She felt very... tired.

"Luz, are you sure you're okay?" Amity asked.

"I... I'm fine."

Luz's eyes began to feel heavy by the time she reached the Café. She said bye to Amity, but Amity stayed there a little longer, just to make sure everything is okay.

"Hey, Kid, I thought you would give me a call to pick you up?" Eda asked, doing bills at the counter.

"Well, I wanted to get used to the city." Luz said, "Besides, I wanted to hang out with Amity a little bit longer."

Eda noticed that Luz was looking pale, which was a problem because it was sunny as hell out, the sun should be burning her.

"Are you okay, Kid?" Eda asked.

"I... I'm... I'm fine." Luz said, leaning on a table, "Just... tired..."

Luz's vision began to get blurry, before becoming completely black. Eda barely managed to catch Luz before she slammed her head onto the floor.

"Kid!?" Eda screamed, before looking at Amity, "Call 9-1-1!"

Amity nodded before pulling out her phone. Eda laid Luz on the ground and began to check her pulse.

'It's there, a little weak, but it's there.' Eda thought.

Eda began looking Luz over for anything out of the ordinary that might've caused this and found a strange bump on the back of her neck.

'Something must've bitten her and she's having an allergic reaction.' Eda thought before feeling Luz's forehead, feeling it getting slightly warm too. 'And a sudden fever too. Something definitely bit her.'

Amity came back over.

"Okay, paramedics are on their way." Amity said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Head into the back, get a rag and run it with some cold water. Luz has a fever." Eda said to Amity.

"Okay." Amity said as she headed into the back.

Eda looked at Luz.

"Don't you die on me Kid... Lily will never let me hear the end of it."

Amity came back and handed Eda the rag.

"Here you go, Ms. Clawthorne." Amity said.

"Thanks kid." Eda said as she took the rag, placing it on Luz's forehead.

The caramel skinned girl sighed in relief of the cold feeling, breathing a bit easier on the ground. It didn't take long for the Paramedics to arrive.

"Where is she?" One asked before seeing Luz on the ground. "Get her in the gurney!"

Two more paramedics rushed to Luz and picked her up, gently setting her on the gurney before wheeling her out of the cafe with Eda and Amity following.

"Blight... head home." Eda said, "I need to go with Luz."

"But I can't just leave her like this." Amity argued.

"I get that but they'll only let family come with her and that's just me right now. I can call you to let you know the results." Eda replied to Amity, "Please, I need to focus on Luz."

"I...Okay. But PLEASE, keep me posted on her condition." Amity said to her.

If Luz got sick somehow because of the visit to Blight Industries, then this was possibly her fault for inviting her. And what if this was fatal?! Amity would be indirectly responsible for her newest friend dying!

"I promise, I'll let you know the moment the doc gives the results." Eda said with a nod.

Eda got into the ambulance and took off to the hospital.
