Chapter 15

The witch stared right at me. She never even looked over at my mother, as if she wasn’t even around. But it was two against one. Didn’t she realize that? I guessed she thought she was so powerful that it didn’t matter. Maybe she’d heard that my witchcraft was bad. News update for her, it wasn’t that way anymore. Okay, so I had the occasional hiccup here and there, but for the most part it was flawless. I didn’t take my eyes off of her. I wasn’t about to back down.

“Let her have it, Halloween,” my mother said.

It was probably best if she didn’t talk smack. A heavy, dreadful feeling hung in the air. I was ready for this spell. I lifted up my arms and pointed them toward the witch and started to recite the words. She didn’t appear to be scared of me, but that was okay. She would be once I was finished with her.

Before I had a chance to cast any spell the cat made this loud noise that hurt my ears.

My mother clasped her hands over her ears. “Oh, why is the cat doing that?”

The cat launched up and toward the witch. At that point she actually screamed. It was an odd sound considering she had been trying to be so tough. The next thing I knew the witch turned and ran down the alley. I stood there in shock at what had just happened. My mother and I looked at each other, but still didn’t speak. I was trying to wrap my mind around what had just happened. Had the cat really just scared the witch away? Yeah, that was exactly what it had looked like. I totally hadn’t expected that. It was a good thing though. Now I didn’t have to worry about casting a spell against her. Lucky for her.

“I can’t believe what just happened,” my mother said.

The cat was just sitting there, staring at me. I knelt down so that I could talk face-to-face with him. Well, not quite face-to-face, but it was as close as I could get. I wasn’t sure if he would let me pick him up right now, or if he wanted to take off again.

“Kitty, why did you do that? Who are you? Are you here to help me?” I asked.

He meowed loudly. I was really starting to warm up to this little guy.

“Well, thank you very much,” I said, rubbing his head. He didn’t run away.

Although I could have handled the witch on my own, I was grateful for the help. I needed to save all the energy I could so that I could find Annabelle, Nicolas, and Liam. Though now that the witch was gone I wasn’t sure where to look. I supposed casting a spell on her to get the truth while she was here would have been better.

The cat meowed out again, and then turned and walked away. He didn’t go back down the alleyway in the direction we had just come from, though.
