“Mr. Prince Charming?” I yelled out the front door as I tapped the swollen fatigue that settled in pockets under my eyes. “Here kitty, kitty.”

Who was I fooling? Mr. Prince Charming had been acting strange all night. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was due to the fact that I had been spending more time with Oscar or something else.

I put my fingers up to my lips, remembering the amazing time we had last night. It was the best start to a Halloween day I had ever had, and it was only going to get better with the excitement of the Halloween festiveness of the village.

Seeing neither hide nor hair of Mr. Prince Charming, I got ready and headed down to A Magical Cure with my charm bracelet and Madame Torres in my bag.

“Hold on!” Madame Torres turned a bright yellow, then appeared in the ball. Her flaming red hair curled around the ball, framing her rosy red checks and bright orange lips. “Have you forgotten that you have made a potion that is a no-no in the magical world?”

I brought her up to eye level and stared in. “A no-no by whose account?”

Granted, I didn’t know all the rules, but I knew most of the important ones, and yes, I did know, but I could plead stupid. After all, I’ve only known about my spiritual gifts a few short months. They’ve had a lifetime to learn the in’s and out’s. Surely, they’d give me the same courtesy.

“You aren’t that dumb.” Madame Torres’s eyes zoomed in and focused on me. “I’m telling you, I don’t have a good feeling about today.”

“Tell me what you think is going to happen,” I demanded to know.

“I can’t pinpoint it. It’s just not good. And your cat knows it.”

Without another word, I dropped her back into my bag.

If Mr. Prince Charming knew it, then he should’ve given me a charm to protect me. That was what he had always done, so why stop now?

Oh, well. I sighed. There was no use in thinking about it now. Adeline would be here any minute to get her June’s Gems and I’ll gladly hand them over.

The town was already abuzz with visitors taking in the Halloween scenes.

“Good morning, Karima sisters.” I waved, and noticed they were letting people try out the coffin’s they had decorated the front yard with.

“Nope, not even near death.” I overheard Constance whisper to Patience as she helped someone out of the coffin. Patience wrote something down on a notepad. Constance glared at me. “Not such a great Halloween for us!”

“No, not us!” Patience echoed and continued to write.

“It’ll pick up.” I politely smiled. They knew as well as I did that I didn’t make potions to make people live longer. I only made people think about what they were putting in their bodies during time of stress.

“Hello,” I chirped to Raven as I walked past Wicked Good Bakery.

“Good Halloween morning,” she said, over the screams of the children in costumes that had surrounded her.
