Light. Light was streaming though my window, onto my bed and onto my tired face. I pulled another all-nighter experimenting with my potion ingredients. I slowly sat up and rubbed my face sleepily saying,
"Midnight, come here please" a black cat with one white sock came smoothly into the room.
"hey girl, have you had breakfast?" the cat blinks once, you smile, picking her up and taking her to the kitchen.
"okay, so......we have eggs, bacon, pancake batter, oranges- OOOOOOOOH! Pancake batter! I knew it would pay off if I saved some for later" I said riffling around in the cupboard and pulling out a pre-made bowl of pancake batter.
~𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓼𝓴𝓲𝓹 𝓽𝓸 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓪𝓴𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓭𝓸𝓷𝓮~
"-then add some whipped cream and strawberries and BAM! The perfect pancake. You got that Midnight?" the cat nodded and pushed towards me a piece of parchment covered in inky cat paw imprints. I smile at her, scratching behind her ears
"good job Midnight, practically purr-fect if I do say so myself" she had the look in her eyes that said: 'why do you torture me with your awful cat puns you crazy cat lady?'
"I am going to pretend you loved that joke" suddenly a knock came on the door,
"well duty calls I guess, I wonder how easily they'll be scared" yes I am going to scare whoever's at the door, but only because it's usually just some kids wanting me to curse their mean teacher and I hate explaining that magic doesn't work that way.
I pulled on the string I had attached to the door so I could open it and make it seem like it was opening by itself. Luckily, I had thought ahead and I was wearing my knee length black dress and striped orange and black tights. My shoes were black slip on's I had made the entire outfit myself. Placing my pointy, ridiculously stereotypical, witches hat onto my head with my h/l h/c hair in a low ponytail/kept down. I grabbed my broom (yes we do fly on brooms but we dress pretty much the same as any old human normally) I summoned some fog for a little effect and peeked around the corner. Oh, okay, no kids, just some adults.
One blonde with long hair. I think that's the princess of Corona. Rapunzel? I don't know I've never followed politics. Then a brunette with very cool hair(I think that's the princess' boyfriend or fiancée or whatever like I said I don't like politics), a very tall bald man with a beard and moustache (absolutely no clue who he is), a very short old guy who has a beard and seems to be talking to the statue of a cat I made a few years ago(I- actually I don't find this weird at all), and finally, a boy.
He had black hair and a fringe with a blue streak running through it, he had on an white shirt and a sleeveless bronze jacket, he wore gloves and had goggles perched on top of his hair. Honestly he was cute. Not even gonna bother denying it, I mean what's the point? He's cute. Good for him. The ladies must be throwing themselves at him, that's not my problem.
I hopped on my broom and let it hover slightly, I was sitting sideways so I was facing the victims- er I mean people •-• Anyway-
I urged my broom to move forward slightly and slowly moved to be in view of the intruders.
"Uh...guys..." said the blonde who I assume is the princess, still not sure, they all turned. I put on a menacing expression, time for my acting skills to shine. I spoke very quietly and slowly, for effect obviously.
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
"Uh, hi.... scary witch lady. Well we were wondering if you could help us-"
"HELP YOU?! WHY WOULD I HELP YOU?!" Let's just say I love going over the top.
"W-well because you live in Corona too and it's in danger-"
"Who said anything about living?" I asked with an evil smirk on my gorgeous face. The tall dark skinned man screamed like a little girl and I couldn't help it. I started laughing, everyone else that wasn't me seemed very confused probably thinking something along the lines of 'why is this crazy kid having a laughing fit in front of us?'
" s-sorry, I c-couldn't help myself! Pfffffft! Haha!" the man with totally fabulous brown hair asked the one question that was on everyone's mind,
"why is this kid dressed for Halloween? Its May." I stopped laughing and composed myself enough to say
"well I thought you guys were more kids asking me to curse their mean teachers and I'm not sure how to explain that magic doesn't work like that-" the boy crossed his arms and very rudely interrupted me with the most incorrect sentence I have ever heard.
"Magic doesn't exist" I turned to him and rolled my eyes, crossing my arms as well,
"oh great, a science nerd. You know, not everything has to make sense. Some things are a complex mix of magic and nature's power. Also, how do you explain this with science?" I pointed to my broom that I was still sitting on.
"wires, or it could be mechanic in some way." I hopped off the broom and passed it to him adding
"go ahead, check her for machinery. You won't find any" he inspects it closely, he seemed very determined to prove me wrong. Mean while the tall man walked over to me and asked,
"hey, can you do a trick?" I sighed, do I have to explain this to him?
"magic doesn't work that way, you have to really believe that it will work"
"I believe it will work"
"fine, but don't tell anyone, all the kids will start coming over again asking me to multiply their ice cream or whatever." I walked over to the cat statue and took out my wand, mumbling
"pullulate" the cat statue glowed, it split into a completely identical cat statues. I handed the statue to the guy and he looked so excited, but I felt a bit more drained than before
"Wow! Eugene! Come look at this! She can multiply things! Look! Two cat statues!" the blonde looked at him and saw the two statues, smiling warmly, she said
"Wow! That's cool! I bet hunger wouldn't be a problem with you around!" I smiled slightly weakly at her,
"I can't use too much magic, it drains energy really fast."
"but why don't you help people with little things, even if it's only occasionally I'm sure they'd be grateful-"
"let me stop you right there princess, I can't help people because if I help one the word that I can magically make things better will spread and people will start demanding help that I can't give. Then they'll get angry, thinking I'm just being selfish. Trust me, it's happened before" her eyes widened.
" oh my goodness, I'm so sorry! We won't tell a soul!" suddenly, two girls popped in, one had pitch black hair tied up in a messy ponytail, the other with red hair that was in pigtails either side of her head.
"Red?! Angry?! What are you two doing here?! Explain yourselves!" said the tall man, the one with black hair rolled her eyes
"we got bored, so we followed you, and now we're hearing stuff about magic. You can't just leave us at the palace and expect us to not follow you Lance" I laughed
"you two seem like a handful! I like you both already!" they looked at me, the one with black hair (who was apparently named Angry) asked
"aren't you the witch that we heard about?"
"that depends, is the witch you heard about described as totally gorgeous?" they both look at each other and laugh,
"hey Eugenia, we've found your long lost sister" the guy with the epic brown hair crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, pouting slightly
"very funny Angry, now stop being annoying and go back to the palace."
"Oh I don't think that's necessary, I could use some helpers to fix the mess you guys have made" the girls looked disgusted I laughed
"well no magic broom for you girls then-"
"LET'S GO TIDY UP!" shouted Angry, Red giggling. I laughed and walked over to the boy
"have you finished checking my transport for non-existent machinery goggles?" he looked at you, seemingly annoyed. He handed you the broom adding,
"my names Varian"
"mkay goggles, now, you girls want a ride?" they both jumped up and down nodding I laughed
"then hop on!" they both jumped on
"can Varian have a ride as well?" said Red quietly
"sure, he can have a ride, if he manages to get on" the girls look at each other, then at Varian giving him puppy eyes
"pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssseeeeee ride with us!" pleaded Angry
"we'll be scared if you don't come with us" Red whispered, Varian cracked smiling saying
"okay, only because you two know exactly how to convince me" he walked over to the broom and tried to sit down on it, he ended up falling over as the broom flew forward a few feet. The girls laughed and so did Lance. The Princess and her partner merely giggled slightly behind their hands.
"whoops, guess she didn't like it when you inspected her for mechanics" you laughed, Varian stared at you from the floor
"It's an inanimate object! What do you mean 'she'?" you petted the broom fondly saying in a soothing voice
"shhhh, It's okay. The nasty man didn't mean it" you glared at him back. The girls giggled some more.
"I'm right here!"
"Exactly goggles" I urged the broom to move forward and we all shot out of the hall and went outside, Angry holding onto me and Red holding onto Angry.
"WHOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! YEAH!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!! CAN YOU DO A LOOP DE LOOP!?!?" asked Angry happily
"SURE CAN!!! HOLD ON TIGHT YOU TWO!!" I climbed higher into the sky and eventually turned upside down for a few seconds before heading back down on a slope. I slowed and touched down.
"Did you girls enjoy that?"
"IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! RIGHT RED?!?!" Angry yelled happily, Red nodded enthusiastically.
"Well I'm happy you two had a good time now I think you'll find this broom makes tidying fun, follow me" I got off the broom and guided it into the house with them still on it. I walked past everyone and they started clapping at the amazing stunt we pulled, I bowed and then one voice said
"That was totally unsafe and reckless, what if one of them had been hurt?" Ah, should have guessed, Varian the party pooper.
"Oh shut up grumpy guts, no point in worrying over things that didn't happen"
"They could have been hurt! I'm allowed to worry!"
"Well if you're gonna be such a downer you can be one outside, good vibes only in my house goggles"
"BOOM!" Shouted Angry as we entered the house. Angry jumped off first, then helped Red down. Angry turned to me,
"Soooo...how does the broom make cleaning fun?" I grinned tapping the side of my nose
"You'll see. Broomy! Attention!" The broom suddenly came to life and it grew wooden arms and used the brush bit as a pair of legs. The girls jumped slightly. The broom saluted
"Right broomy, we need your help. Some specific people (not naming any names)" I glared at everyone outside and the girls giggled (I seem to be able to make them laugh a lot)
"Have made a mess, can you help us clean it up?" The broom bowed slightly, meaning yes
"great, I've got some helpers you should get some too" the broom went over to a mop and tapped it, making it come to life as well!
"Woah....your house is so magical!" said Red quietly, I turned to her. That is the first thing she's ever said to me! Progress! I smiled warmly at her
"well I am a witch, and when you live alone it tends to get very boring. So I mess about a lot" suddenly I heard a 'meow' come from behind me, I turned and saw Midnight.
"oh yeah, this is my cat Midnight. She's very friendly and loves it when you pet her behind her ears" Red approached Midnight cautiously, huh, I wonder why.

This little girl needs to hurry up she's taking forever, you know what I'm just gonna walk up to her myself. When I was in front of her I lay on my back and said
"I want belly rubs" but of course, humans being humans she didn't understand. My pet who liked to call herself Y/n urged her to rub my belly. The little girl knelt down and started to rub my tummy. It feels like what humans call a massage I meow in happiness and the little girl giggled a little. Humans are weird creatures, for instance they don't rub their faces on their property. Weirdos... I felt another pair of hands on my belly. I opened one eye and saw the other little girl. She had black head fur and brown eyes, I don't understand why humans only have fur on their head or why it gets so long or why they cut it! But I accepted a looooonnnnnnggggg time ago that humans are super weird.
~𝒴/𝓃'𝓈 𝒫𝒪𝒱~
I was watching the girls play with Midnight until someone tapped my shoulder, I looked over my shoulder goggles. What does he want now?
"Hi, so I wanted to talk about the broom incident-" I cut him off with
"It's fine I accept your apology, just don't challenge me again" he looked confused
"What? No, I didn't come to apologise I came to say I'm still not happy with how you handle kids and you should think before you act" I sighed and turned to face him fully
"look, if you don't like me go away. If you want me to be more careful I always am, if anything bad had happened remember I'm a witch and I could have taken care of it. Besides, it's in the past. Don't focus on the past when you have a future to write" he looked slightly taken aback at my very wise words and I smirked at him playfully,
"What? Lost for words?" he blushed a little and I laughed,
"alright Sir Serious, I was just joking"
"O-of course, I-I knew that" I laughed,
"Naturally, anything else you wanted to say?" he shook his head. Suddenly, I felt another tap on my shoulder and I turned my head face the broom.
"done?" the broom gave a thumbs up and I smiled
"thanks broomy, what would I do without you?" the broom jumped up and down then brushed a little bit of the floor
"your right the house would be completely filthy" Broomy flicked me
"Ow! I'm not telling him that there are kids here! Where did that even come from?!"
"What did it say?" asked Varian curiously.
"She.....er......said to tell you to get your ass out of here or she'll force you out"
"What?! Where did this hatred of me come from?!" I rubbed the back off my neck,
"well, the first thing was that you said magic wasn't real, the next was when you insisted on examining her for machinery and the last straw was just now when you refuse to acknowledge her as a female. She hates being thought of as an inanimate object." I bit my lip,
"because I don't want an angry mob coming up here and setting fire to my house because I'm 'dangerous' I insist you run........NOW!" He sped off in the direction of the door Broomy following him trying to hit him with the broom part of her.
"OW! OUCH! GAH! GET OFF! AHHHH! THERE'S A CRAZY BROOM CASING ME!" I winced
"I hope he's okay.." Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me say (very loudly)
"Ooooooooooooooooooo! I think she likes him Red!" my cheeks dusted lightly with pink I turned around. Scoffing.
"Pfft! Yeah right! That's preposterous!" Angry rolled her eyes at me
"Sure" I rolled my eyes back,
"Good, as if I would ever be with someone who didn't believe in magic"
"I think you'd be cute together" Red said giggling. I rolled my beautiful e/c eyes.
As if
I don't even find his totally adorable freckles and perfectly shaped face attractive-
"Mooooom! Stop rambling about dad!"
"Said Minerver, my oldest child" Mini rolled her eyes.
"Mommy, I loved that story! Again again again!" Hariet, my second youngest child, bounced up and down excitedly.
"Oh I would but I think that daddy's coming and you all know how much of a stiff he is when it comes to bedtime" Hariet pouted her pale blue eyes shining in the candle light.
"Daddy's so mean, he gets to stay up all night and do cool stuff but we have to go to bed when we're not even- *yawn* -tired" I picked her up smiling softly.
"Oh? You're not tired? Well you can stay up until midnight doing boring chores then, while me and daddy can get some shuteye." Mini rolled her eyes.
"Come on, I bet you guys just want to get us out of the way so you can kiss. Yeuch! I'm never getting married, men are pigs anyway" I brought a now sleeping Hariet to his bed and tucked her in, kissing her forehead lightly. I turned to face my 9 year old daughter.
"Come with me,"
"Where are we going?" Mini asked as I pulled her along by her hand.
As soon as we got to the rooftop of our home I sat down on the roof and patted the space beside me, indicating for her to sit next to me.
"You know when I was your age, I assumed I would never even find a real person who would even want to be my friend. But that all changed when I met your dad, he might have been rude in the beginning but eventually we became really close. On the day he asked me to be his girlfriend, and you know what I did?"
"Say yes?"
"No I passed out, then I said yes" Mini giggled
"The point is, I never thought I'd get married, and I had concluded from all the books I had read that men were pigs. But all it took was the right guy to come along. And I fully expect that one day a special guy or girl, will come into your life and change your opinion" I looked away from the sky and at my little girl. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Okay mom, I love you"
"I love you too sweetheart" I kissed the top of her head and we stayed like that for about ten minutes until her soft snores alerted me it was time to go inside. I picked her up, putting her on my back. I made my way to her and her sister's room.
I set her down gently in her bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead.
"Night my little stars" I whispered as I blew out the candle and went into the corridor, closing the door behind me.
I walked downstairs past the kitchen and into the basement that me and my wonderful husband used to experiment in.
"Honey? The kids are asleep, I'm going to bed as well unless you have any objections" I whisper-shouted when I had opened the door to the basement.
"Hold on pumpkin don't go to bed yet" I walked down the stairs to the basement and was surprised by a kiss on the lips as soon as I set foot on the flat, slightly scorched, ground of the basement. I closed my eyes and melted into the kiss, wrapping my arms around my husband's neck playing slightly with the back of his hair. He broke the kiss, connecting our foreheads.
"I love you" I said quietly
"I love you more"
"Impossible" he chuckled,
Really, if life could get any better. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I have two beautiful kids, a wonderful and caring husband, amazing friends. It doesn't get any better than this.
And as I always say....
Eugene's hair is too cool to not be a wig
