This is a crossover story with the cat and aunts from Sabrina-the Teenaged Witch. This will be my take on them, so forgive me if not exact. This is for bloodties35...a requested story. Hope you enjoy, I have to fill in before a story right before Vicki gives birth..
Coreen sat at her desk surfing the net for last minute wedding details. No cases pending, she had free time but was instructed by Henry and Pierre both to stay at the office with Vicki. Vicki didn't push the issue, she knew better. If something just happen to come along, well..she couldn't turn it down as long as it was not dangerous, that was Henry's stipulation.
Vicki let out a big sigh, she was so bored. She was finishing up the paperwork from the last case that Henry had taken care of. Yes, the man had run off to the states with his secretary. The wife was thrilled to find him, money time. The new girlfriend, not so much. Vicki was typing in the last page when Coreen swung her door open.
"Vicki, um, there is someone, or rather something here to see you?" Coreen was giddy, something was up.
"Define...someTHING.." Vicki said, narrowing her eyes at Coreen.
Just then, a beautiful black cat came into Vicki's office.
"Oh.." Vicki got up and came around her desk, "pretty kitty. Coreen, did you know I used to have two cats when I was little..Zues and Cooper.." she started to reach out and pet him.
"Excuse me, but are you Victoria Fitzroy?" The cat talked.
Holy shit, the cat talked!! Vicki froze in mid-air, her hand still raised to pet him.
"Well, damn, my cats never did that." Vicki backed up and looked down at him.
"Yes, I am, and you are?" Vicki finally answered. The cat jumped up on her desk. He was perched there, tail twitching, eyes blinking.
"My name is Salem Sabehagen, I am a wizard. A very powerful wizard I might add." He said with arrogance, or that's what is seemed like to Vicki.
"Oh yeah, real powerful, kitty cat." Vicki said sarcastically, "I'm scared," she said making little OOOO gestures and waving her hands.
"I am, really!! It's just that I had a little world domination issue and I was banished into this creature, but I have learned my lesson and am ready to go back to normal." he announced proudly, walking back and forth across Vicki's desk.
Coreen watched in amusement.
"Wow, this is different, a talking cat! We haven't had one of these before," Coreen said eyeballing this oddity.
"No, we haven't and you know, with all of this possession shit we have and demon issues, I think I'm gonna need proof first. Plus, how can I help you get your body back? I'm no witch.." Vicki said, sitting down behind her desk, watching him pace. He was a pretty cat, solid black with bright green eyes. But when he was talking it was hard to think of him as a cat.
Salem sighed, "Yes, Victoria, you can help me. " she corrected him, only Henry and Pierre called her that,"Vicki" she said flatly.
"Allright, Vicki," he replied.
"Did...did you just roll your eyes at me?" Vicki pointed and frowned at him.
"Yes, I did. And, you are something special, you know."
Back to that. She and Henry still hadn't figured that out. She wasn't sure she wanted to. She stared at him for a minute and then she heard a voice in her head.
It was Salem's.."Vicki, you know what you are..you're power is the key, you must help me find my soulmate, Serena, please and that will set us both free."
"Okay, don't do that again, no one is allowed in there!" Vicki had already shut him out.
"And what do you mean, my power is the key? Who is Serena?" Vicki was now intrigued.
"Let me start at the beginning.."
He told Vicki and Coreen, who had sat down in front of Vicki's desk taking everything in, that many, many years ago, he was a powerful wizard. He became drunk with his power and wanted to take over the world, be in control.
"Here we go, the whole "I want to rule the world" thing, "Vicki retorted, swirling her fingers around her head.
"MAY I finish?" Salem hissed out. Vicki nodded, mouthing "sorry" and taking a candy bar out of her desk. That was her biggest craving, besides Henry of course, when she was pregnant.
"So Serena, who is a sorceress, she is my soulmate. She too was banished by a large group of magical wizards. We were wrong, we know that now. I'm tired of licking myself, coughing up hairballs and using the bathroom in the sand..really it's old now." he sat down, looking rather forlorn for a cat.
Vicki almost choked on her chocolate bar laughing. She regained composure and began asking questions.
"Say this is true. How do I know? What proof can you offer me? I want to be sure, I can't risk letting some demon out, my husband would not be thrilled."
"Oh, yes, yes..the vampire, one of my best friends. How is he?" Salem asked.
Coreen was on the edge of her seat.
"You know Henry? Wow, this is intriguing!" Coreen clapped her hands.
"How do you know Henry and still, again, proof..??" Vicki said, emphasizing proof with her hands.
"We can offer proof."
Just then, two very pretty women walked into the door.
Vicki looked them up and down and for some reason, didn't like them already.
"And you would be..?" Vicki asked them very businesslike.
"I'm Hilda and this is my sister Zelda, we're witches and we were there when he was banished, along with Serena." They offered.
"See, I told you." he rolled his eyes again. Vicki loved cats but this little pussy was getting on her nerves. She wasn't sure she wanted to help him. Still, there was the issue of how they knew Henry.
"So, where is that lovely Duke?" The one named Hilda asked, looking around. Both of them giggled. Not good, not good at all.
"He's not in," Vicki said coldly. Man, she didn't want to have to hurt anyone else. Her men wouldn't be pleased with her, but hey, girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
"Oh, we go way back. We taught him a few tricks." Again with the giggling.
"Tricks?" Vicki growled out.
"Oh, sorry dear, we are witches, not the Wizard of Oz wicked kind..."
Vicki stopped them.
"Believe me, I know all about the supernatural, it's my normalcy."
Henry strode in suddenly, the two women were gushing at the sight of him.
"Oh, Henry how are you?" They said, hugging him tightly.
"Hilda..Zelda, ladies how are you two?" Henry was happy to see them.
Vicki was steaming, frowning and holding a pen she had picked up to take notes so tight in her hand that is suddenly snapped.
The trio turned to look at her.
"Well, well, this is going to be rather exciting.." Salem purred out, flicking his thick tail back and forth.
"You have no idea.." Henry said..
