Hocus Pocus
Okay, I've wanted to do a parody of this for a long time.
I own none of the characters and not the story plot or movie.
R and R, enjoy

-----------------------------------------
It was a gloomy morning in the old time village, everything silent. Over the lake suddenly fell a shadow, a cape billowing in the wind as the figure began to descend toward the streets at the edge. Each of the farm animals was seeming to go a little crazy in fear. At one cabin, the figure stalked past the open window. Inside on a cot a boy around fourteen was sleeping. He had shaggy black hair, golden eyes and pale skin. His eyes shot open as the figure past, body shooting up in bed.
"Good god..." Zuko slowly began to lay down, glancing over to the bed where his younger sister was supposed to be sleeping. His golden eyes widened when he saw she wasn't there. "Azula? Azula!" He shoved off the bed, making his way quickly outside to look for the girl. Outside, he could hear a faint song being sung through the misty air.
Come, little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land
Of enchantment
"Azula!"
Come, little children
The time's come to say
"Tristen!" Zuko made his way quickly over to the cabin that laid across from his, catching the attention of a tall dark haired male. "Hast thou seen my sister, Azula?"
"Nay.." The teen answered, lifting his hand to point out in the distance. "But look!" A billow of purple smoke rose above the tree tops from the woods. "They conjure!" Zuko went silent until he heard a giggling noise from his sister. "Oh god.... The woods!" The two took off, running down the dirt path, following the sounds of giggling. Azula was following after the figure who would come to be known as one of the witches. Tristen swallowed "She's done for!"
Zuko grabbed him by the shirt collar, yanking him back with a growl "Wake my father, get the others, go!" He ordered, giving him a shove. Tristen took off back into the village while Zuko swallowed, before following after the two in front of him. He tried calling for his sister once more, but she didn't answer. Once in the woods, he tripped over a branch and tumbled down past trees and other things. There was a thud as he came to a stop a few bits away from an old house where the smoke seemed to come from.
"Come child." The witch cooed, waving her hand for Azula to keep following. From inside the house came a loud laughter, before the door slammed closed once more. Zuko kept silent, making his way through the leaves and onto a few small rocks that lingered on the side of the house. He pried open the window, slowly lifting his head to peek inside. Azula sat on a chair, a blank look on her face as the witches circled her. Her eyes widened as she spotted her brother.
"Azula.." The whisper was enough to catch the witch's attention, their heads whipping around to face him. Zuko ducked down, pressing against the side of the house as he began to creep away. The windows banged open as one of the oldest witch poked her head out. She had short brown hair streaked with white, a wrinkled face and dark eyes. Dante glared at the sky "Oh great... Another glorious morning... Makes me sick!" She slammed the windows back shut, turning around. "Idiots!"
"Coming!" The other two pushed each other as they came in. One had tanned skin and long blond hair, her eyes alit against her old skin. She was Lindsey, the witch who had lured Azula along, the non to bright one. The last one had pink hair, streaked with grey and white. She wore a long dark purple gown. Jinx was her name. She gave Lindsey a disgusted look, giving her an elbow in the back.
Dante gave a simple shrug, making her way away from the window "Must have been a troll!" She swept across the room, coming to a small table where a leather covered book lay. "Oh my darling... my little book! We must continue our little spell now that our guest has arrived..." She turned toward Azula, giving a smirk while the little girl smiled blankly. "Wake up... come now, sleepyhead." The single eye on the cover slowly opened, causing her to give a squeal of delight. "There we go... Jinx!"
"Coming!" The pink haired girl made her way over, glancing towards the book before she went back to the cauldron that stood in the middle of the room. "I noticed blondie hasn't helped at all.." She cast Lindsey another disgusted look. The girl gave one back "I lured the child!"
Dante raised her hand, whacking Jinx upside the back of the head with a sneer of her own. "Leave her be... She has done her part!" She warned. Jinx growled, glaring at the back of Dante's head as she returned to the book. The woman threw her hands up "Tis time!" With those words the pages of the book spun until it stopped in the middle. She ran her finger down the words. "Bring to a full rolling bubble. Add two drops of oil and boil."
"Ah...! I got it, you do that, I'll do this!" Jinx waved her hand, moving past Dante as she went to a shelf to grab the items needed. Outside Zuko made his way up the spinning water wheel and up towards an open window, remaining silent as best as he could. The dark haired woman continued to speak, a grin on her lips.
"Mix blood of owl with the herb that's red. Turn three times; pluck a hair from my head. Add a dash of pox and a dead man's toe..." She chuckled or rather cackled. "Dead man's toe and make it a fleshy one!"
"Dead man's toe!" Lindsey joined in the laughter, pushing away from the wall and beginning to spin around the room. "Dead man's toe, Dead man's toe!" She spun past Jinx who carried a bowl toward the cauldron. She lifted a toe, sniffing it before throwing it into the pot. "Fresh one!" She then threw one at Lindsey, who giggled and grabbed a few to throw back at her. This continued until one hit Dante right on the cheek. She threw down the spoon she'd been stirring with, turning to glare at the both of them. "Will you two stop it! I need to concentrate!"
"Sorry..." Jinx gave the blond an elbow to the back, hissing in talk. "She needs to concentrate, dope.." She trailed off, looking up toward the ceiling suddenly. She began to move, dropping the bowl back onto the table. "...I smell a child!" She announced. Zuko's eyes widened and he quickly hid himself. Dante glanced up, before throwing her hand towards where Azula sat "What doust thou call that?!"
"A child?"
"Hmph!" She made her way to the potion, waving her hands a second time. "Sisters, gather around. One thing more and all is done. Add a bit of thine own tongue!" The other two gathered around, all three biting their tongues before they spit into the cauldron. It bubbled for a moment, before turning a misty bright green. "Oh, Dante... Thou art divine!" Jinx grinned slowly.
"Tis ready for tasting... One drop of this and her life will be mine!" Dante ignored the glares from her sisters. "I mean... Ours." She dipped a long spoon into the potion, while Jinx made her way over to Azula with Lindsey. The pink haired girl grabbed her mouth, forcing it open as the spoon came closer. "Alright girl... Stay still."
"NO!"
The three sisters whipped around as Zuko jumped down to stand in front of them, golden eyes glaring venomously. Lindsey blinked, before grinning happily "A boy!"
"Get him, you idiots!"
"I told you I smelt a child!" Jinx snarled, pushing her blond sister away as the two began to chase after Zuko. The boy made his way around the cauldron, using it to keep the two away. Dante growled "Get away from my potion!" At that, Zuko grinned and grabbed hold of the cauldron. He pushed it hard, knocking the other two over. With them down, he began to pour the contents out.
"My potion!"
"Azula!" Zuko moved away to grab his sister, only to be shocked as lightening burst from Dante's fingers. He stumbled, but remained standing. Dante flicked her fingers, a smaller bolt coming out. This one made him collaspe, a thud heard as he connected with the floor. Jinx growled toward the fallen boy, before she blinked. "Dante... Look." She jabbed her finger toward Azula, who was shining in a white light.
"Sisters, prepare thyself... Tis her life force, my potion works! Take my hands we shall share her!" Lindsey and Jinx both stood, taking hold of Dante's hands as they made their way closer to the little girl. Zuko grabbed hold of a ladder, trying to pull himself up as the three witches began to suck the life from the little girl. "Sisters.. Behold!"
Lindsey threw her hood back, her faded blond hair now bright with life. She giggled happily, clapping her hands then "I'm beautiful again! The boys will love me!" Jinx stared at her now smooth hands, her smile stretching as she clapped herself. "We're young!"
"Well... Younger." Dante added, looking down at herself in her own handheld mirror. She laughed nonetheless "But it's a start!" The three began to laugh, taking hold of each others hands as they danced in a circle. Zuko looked at his sisters, heart falling at what he saw. She was unmoving, her head slumped down. "Azula..."
Jinx smiled, putting her hands to her now all pink horned hair "Dante, you are a mere sprig of a girl!"
"Liar, but I shall be a sprig forever once I suck the lives out of all the children in this foolish town!" Dante paused, turning her head towards Zuko with a smirk. "Let's brew another batch!"
"Hag!" The boy spat, leaning against the ladder to keep him standing as he glared at the three. "There are not enough children to make thee young and beautiful!"
"Hag...? Sisters did you hear what he called you? Whatever shall we do with him?"
"Let's barbecue and fillet him.."
"Hang him on a hook and let me play with him!" Dante growled at that suggestion, giving her blond haired sister a slap in the back of the head. "Fool... Book darling, come to mommy." From the table, the leather covered book floated into her hands. She opened it, turning a few pages "Yes, his punishment must be more fulsome, more lingering. Dazzle me, my darling." The book turned a few pages, until it stopped on a random page "Let's see amnesia, bunions, chilblains, cholera…we can to better than that, I think."
Jinx reached out to turn another page, tapping her finger against one of the spells "What about this one?" Her sister raised her eyebrows, before giving another nod. "...Perfect. His punishment won't be to die... but to live forever with his gult!"
"As what!" Lindsey giggled, trying to see what the spell said before the book snapped shut and was shoved into her hands. With a frown, she went to put the book back into place before hurrying back. "Jump back!" The other did as their sister ordered, while Dante moved closer to Zuko.
Twist the bones
And bend the back.
The two sisters realized what she was doing, both coming closer as they began to chant as well.
Itch-it-a-cop-it-a,
Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a.
Trim him of his baby fat
Itch-it-a-cop-it-a,
Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a.
Give him fur
Black as black
Just…
Like…
This!
Zuko grunted in pain, letting go of the ladder and slowly sinking to the floor as his body began to transform. His body had been changed into the form of a black cat with a red scar covering his left eye. Lindsey moved forward to try and pet him, only to scream and giggle loudly as he tried to bite her hand. Sudden banging on the door caused the three to turn, eyes widening as they noticed the lit torches outside their home.
"Witches! Daughters of darkness, open up!"
"Hide the child!" Dante ordered in a quiet hiss, running her way over to the door. Jinx grabbed an old blanket, throwing it over Azula's still body "There be no witches here!"
"Don't get your knickers in a twist! We are three old spinster ladies! Spending a quiet evening at home!" The two began to push the door, trying to keep it closed against the bangs the mob continued to do.
"Sucking the lives out of little children!" Lindsey finished with a loud giggling. Dante's eyes widened, before she reached out and grabbed hold of her sister, beginning to strangle her "You moron!" Later that day, the three now stood on barrels, nooses around their necks as they glared back at the villagers. A man with long dark hair and golden eyes stepped forward. Zuko's father Ozai glared slowly. "Dante."
"Hm?"
"I will ask one final time..."
"Yes?"
"What the hell have you done with my son, Zuko?!"
"Zuko... Now who is.." She pretended to think, rolling her eyes toward the sky.
"ANSWER ME!"
"I don't know!" She faked innocence, glancing at her sisters who both grinned in return. "Cat's got my tongue!" Lightening and thunder cracked as all three laughed. Zuko growled behind the villagers, remaining on a rock as he watched.
Lindsey sighed, shifting her hands against the ropes that held them down. "Oh, dear... This is so uncomfortable!" She let out another sigh as Dante smirked slowly "Sisters... Sing!"
Thrice I with mercury
And spit upon the 12 tables
"Don't listen, cover your ear!" Ozai covered his wife's ears as Ursa strayed closer to her husband. "Listen to them not!" At that Tristen dropped the leather covered spell book he'd grabbed from the house. The book opened, flipping to a few pages before it stopped. The words on the page caused Dante to giggle happily "Fools! All of you! My ungodly book speaks to you. On All Hallows Eve when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground. We shall be back! And the lives of all the children shall be mine!" All three burst into cackling laughter as the thunder and lightening burst across the sky. Ozai narrowed his eyes in a glare, making a cutting motion across his throat. Ursa gasped as the barrels were knocked over, hanging the witches slowly.
"Come along.." Tristen took hold of the woman's arm, leading her away as the rest of the villagers moved back as well, some of them mumbling. Ozai glanced down, glaring at Zuko's cat form as it rubbed against his leg. Black cats were as bad as the witches "Away... Away beast!" The cat darted away, slowly curling up on a rock as he watched his parents leave the area.
Poor Zuko... No one knew what became of him, those three hundred years ago...
