*Evangeline's POV*
I warned them.
I told them that it was a bad idea to explain everything to this random man dressed in a police officer costume because he wasn't a real one, but they wanted to try their luck anyway in case he was an actual police officer.
Even to this day, I can still never fully understand mortals.
Anyway, now that that's over and done with, Allison, Thackery and I followed the Dennison siblings to the Town Hall where it was holding its anual Halloween costume party for adults, in hopes that maybe their parents would believe what is currently happening, and what is also yet to come.
Once we arrived, we walked straight in and up a set of stairs, although the doorman told us to not go up there.
Technically, he said about how kids shouldn't be up there, and since I'm not mentally a child, I should be allowed to go up there, but that isn't important.
The room was full of people dressed up in random costumes and dancing along to a jazz/rock band onstage. At least it wasn't my mother and her sisters singing. I remember one time when they did that, they hypnotised an entire village. It wasn't Salem though. It happened elsewhere.
Little did they know that their spell hadn't lasted long because I managed to counteract it using my own song in a form of a spell.
"I'm gonna look for mom." Dani said over the music while holding Thackery in her arms.
"I'll go with them." I told Max and Allison before walking beside Dani away from them.
It wasn't easy trying to get past people dancing in the way, but fortunately, Dani managed to find her mother close to the stage dressed as Madonna. "Mom?"
She turned around and faced us. "Hm?"
"What are you supposed to be?" Dani asked.
Her mother looked at her in slight confusion. "Madonna. Well, you know...well, obviously...don't you think?"
"I think it's a great costume, Mrs. Dennison." I said politely.
"Thank you." She smiled gratefully at me. "You must be Splendora Evangeline Sanderson, right?"
I blinked in confusion. "Uh...."
Mrs. Dennison carried on. "From what the legend says about The Secret Sanderson Of Salem, the youngest Sanderson witch had your exact description: blonde, blue eyes, about 16 years old, and mentioned that she'd be wearing modern clothing to blend in with humans. The broomstick you're holding is a dead giveaway. I can't believe I remember that all of a sudden. Must be all this dancing and music getting to me, you know?"
How did I forget that I've been carrying my broomstick with me this entire time?
"Mom, this cat here, Binx." Dani lifted him up slightly to show her mother. "He can talk, and he's known Angie here for more than 300 years. My brother's a virgin. He lit the Black Flame Candle. It undid a curse that Angie was put under that wouldn't let Binx see or hear her at all. The witches are back from the dead, and they're after us."
"And to add to what Dani is telling you, I am definitely the youngest Sanderson witch. Half witch, half human." I tried to convince her. "And like the story, I'm also the good witch."
"We need help." Dani begged.
"How much candy have you both had?"
I resisted the urge to groan and roll my eyes. Why did I decide to tell her the truth when she wouldn't believe a word we said in the first place?
Dani started to get a little upset. "Mom, I haven't OD'd. I haven't even had a piece." You had a chocolate lollipop in the shape of a witch, but your mother doesn't need to know that. "They're real witches. They can fly, and they're gonna eat all the kids in Salem. The only one who won't be is Angie because she really is a good witch. She's on our side, mom. They're real!"
"Alright, let's go find your father." Dani's mother said as her eyes started scanning the crowd. "While we're at it, we'll go look for your parents, too...Angie, was it?"
Instead of helping her, I turned around sharply. The hair on the back of my neck stood. "They're here." I mumbled. I could sense that my mother, Winnie, and Mary have just turned up. I made eye contact with Thackery, who had only just caught their scent.
We found Max and Allison standing to the side with Mr. Dennison. When we reached them, Thackery and I were keeping an eye on the Sanderson sisters, while the others tried to convince Mr. and Mrs. Dennison about what's been happening.
Out of the blue, the band changed their song as if the singer and the rest of the band were put under a hypnosis.
🎶I put a spell on you
And now you're mine🎶
I placed a hand on Max and Allison's shoulders. "They're here." Dani, Max, and Allison turned around and stood frozen in fear as we watched my mother and her sisters look around, most likely searching for us. "Do not worry. They won't get to any of you. I promise." Mrs. Dennison tried to tell us that no one was there, but they were definitely there.
🎶I ain't lyin'
No, I ain't lyin'🎶
Max shoved the book in Allison's arms and manoeuvred his way through the crowd, ignoring his father's protests.
🎶I put a spell on you
Because you're mine🎶
🎶I put a spell on you
And now you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No, I ain't lyin'🎶
Max climbed on stage and snatched the microphone out of the singer's hands. "Hey, cut the music! Cut the music!" He motioned for the band to stop playing.
"Hey, man, I'm in the middle of a song." The singer argued, sounding a little upset."
"It's an emergency. Only for a minute." Max pleaded with the singer.
The music stop entirely, and all eyes were on Max. "Will everybody please listen?" A couple of people even booed at him, no surprise there.
Mr. Dennison shook his head. "No, he's just getting everybody worked up."
"Listen to him, he's fine!" Dani tried to assure her parents.
"Your kids are in danger." Max got straight to the point.
"What do you mean?" A random person from the crowd asked.
"300 years ago, the Sanderson sisters bewitched people, even their own family." I hugged myself and looked down at my feet, not daring to look anywhere else so as to not draw attention to myself. "And now they've returned from their grave." Everyone started laughing, except myself, Thackery, Dani, and Allison.
Max grabs the singer by the shirt and pleaded with him. "Hey, man, I'm serious! It's not a joke!"
"Alright, this has gone far enough." Mr. Dennison was about to make his way towards the stage, but stopped when Mrs. Dennison told him to wait a moment.
Max faced the crowd once again. "I know this sounds dumb, but they're here tonight. They're right over there!" He pointed a finger to where Winnie, Mary, and my mother were standing amongst the crowd. Everyone gasped and formed a circle around them.
"Oh dear Merlin." I mumbled. Thackery let out a small meow, grabbing my attention. I gave him a small smile and whispered to him that I'll be fine.
Winnie stepped forward and smirked at Max. "Thank you, Max...for that marvellous introduction."
My eyes went wide in realisation as the crowd laughed. Winnie started singing, which as I mentioned earlier, was never a good sign. "No...no, not this again..."
(A/N: Sorry, I decided to be lazy for this part, but just pretend that Evangeline is running with Max, Dani, Allison, and Binx 😂)
"Dance! Dance! Dance until you die!!~" I heard Winnie command and laugh loudly before myself, Allison, Max, Dani, and Thackery ran out of the building to try to get away from them.
