A.N.: Okay call me selfish how do you want…..I just wanted to be a part of it. My roomie/bff calls me a Witch for a looooong time. I'm pretty good in playing on people's nerves so :D and she says , that sometimes I'm in certain things wickedly good, so try to refuse this :D ! But honestly, If I found out I'm a real Witch, totally rather than go to Hogwarts…I would go in New Orleans to Miss Robichaux's Academy ;-) so don't judge me…and let's have a look at this wickedly good school through my eyes. Oh and, 'cause it was filmed in 2014 as a current day so it's in my fic…year 2014 current day okay :D. Be honest, but not rude in reviews please just 17 years old girl fantasy so thank you…ZiZi hugs and ZiZi kisses xoxo
It was late afternoon. That part of the day, it was still bright outside, but everyone knew it will turn to dark as the snap of a finger.
Okay…I can do it. That's why I'm here for. Just remember what Granny said. ''Don't be afraid, and shine your way like The Raising Sun !'' young girl with a half-short honey blond hair, in milky white shirt and blue, lightly tattered jeans took a deep breath before walking into open gate of Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. In her left hand holding her guitar and in her right hand her big travel bag.
,,Meoooow !'' echoed from the bag.
,,Hush ! I know, I know I'm so sorry,'' girl put the bag down and opened it slightly to let the air inside, consoling quite angry cat. ,,I'd gladly release you, but nobody have to know about you, alright ? I promise I'll let you right after I get in my room…If I get one,'' the girl sighed worriedly, patting her black kitty and gently scratching behind her ears. The cat contentedly purred and nuzzled to girls hand.
,,Sounds like yes ?'' girl narrowed her brows enquiringly.
,,Meow…'' was all he kitty said, mostly sounded like a smirk. She shifted herself back in the bag, laying all across the girls clothes.
,,Fine, here we go !'' the girl picked up again the bag and walked to the main door s of the Academy.
She pushed the door bell, and heard its ringing through the house. Suddenly a steps to doors.
A tall, long-haired man open for her, showing her to go in. She gave him a little smile. She was acting too confident than she was at the moment.
,,Amm…I-I-Ehm…I think I shall introduce myself,'' she put herself together after her first try to talk, which was not that good. ,,I am-''
,,-Winifred Cork. Cordelia Foxx. The headmistress of the Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies,'' a young, tall blonde woman with a big truly smile and dark brown eyes greeted her and almost give her a heart attack. She nearly dropped her bag, but was too much aware of the cat inside so she just squeezed the ties tightly.
,,You must be our new Witch from Tennessee, right ?'' Cordelia asked.
,,Yes, ehm, please call-call me Winnie,'' Winifred smiled as she nodded.
,,This is our housekeeper, Spalding,'' Cordelia introduced the tall man.
,,Nice to meet you,'' Winnie smiled.
,,If you're waiting for answer, it won't arrive, he's speechless,'' Cordelia showed her to go with her. ,,I'm the one, who allowed you to arrive and who carefully read your script. Come with me, you put your things to your room and then come down for our assemblage down in the living room okay ?'' she walked with Winnie through long hall and to stairs. ,, Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies is Academy established by-''
,,-By Marion Warton in 1868, and she didn't established it, just reclaimed it…it was privileged school, before it became in hospital during Civil War. Now it's perfect cover for Witch School,'' Winnie proudly said what she learned , her eyes observing the space of the house.
,,Right. But it's not only a School for Witches, it's much more…''
,,For me right now it's haven,'' Winnie sighed.
,,Right. Any troubles or problems you had, are now our problems alright ?'' Cordelia walked through a long hall upstairs. ,,Here is your room. Lucky girl you have your own one with big bed.''
,,Thank you Mrs. Foxx-''
,,Cordelia…call me Cordelia,'' the Witch smiled. ,,We'll await you in living room in ten minutes alright,'' she smiled for last time and went down again.
Winnie quickly closed the door with her foot and leaned over them with her back.
,,This is a new home, thank God !'' she breathed contentedly.
Quickly putting her bag next o her double bed and opening it completely.
,,Our new home Lizi !'' she pulled the cat out and hold her in her arms. Black kitty with brown eyes nuzzled to Winnie's embrace and to her neck, purring in her ear. Winnie pressed a little kiss on her head and put her down on the bed. ,,You can pick the side of bed until I'm downstairs, hmm ?'' she saw Liz circling one of the pillows.
,,Meow,'' Liz whiskered and sat to lick her left paw.
,,Okay, clean yourself and wait for me, I'll be right back I promise hmm,'' Winnie pressed another little kiss on her head and Liz purred contentedly.
Winnie quickly left the room, closing doors behind her and rushing downstairs. She walked into living room, where were already sitting four girls, Cordelia and some mid-age woman with short blonde curls.
,,Sooner than I expected,'' Cordelia smiled. ,,Take a seat. Girls I want to introduce you our novice . She is new just like you Zoe, but you are with us already for some time,'' Cordelia watched Winnie slowly sitting opposite to girls. She felt pretty uncomfortable to sit alone opposite them when everybody was gazing at her, especially that blonde woman.
,,This is Winifred Cork,'' Cordelia announced.
,,Hah, you're kidding me ?'' Madison couldn't deny a laugh that bubbled up her throat.
,,Why ?'' Winnie said indignantly.
,,You're Witch and you're named like that old, ugly actress from that silly movie 'Hocus Pocus'. Will you suck lives from us huh ?!'' Madison smirked heavily.
,,No, but I can 'Put a Spell On You' if you're not enough careful,'' Winnie gave her smirk back.
Girls silently giggled and blond woman smiled at Winnies smirk.
,,My name is-''
,,Madison Montgomery, a teen movie star. Beautiful, often drugged, raped, spoiled brat, with high ambitions but no talent,'' Winnie sighed with smirked looking at shocked Madison. Girls giggled again louder this time, now with Cordelia and blond woman too. ,,But I must tell you one thing…Gossips weren't so true…''
,,Thank you,'' Madison smiled winningly.
,,-You're not that beautiful,'' Winnie giggled and girls blast with laugh against Madison, Cordelia tried to stifle her laugh as a good Headmistress, but blonde woman laughed loud with girls.
,,You're damn good girl !'' woman uttered pointing her index finger to Winnie.
,,Thanks-''
,,Mother !''
,,What she just kicked her down !''
,,Fine. Ehm this is my mother and currently The Supreme of our Coven,'' Cordelia waved her hand to blond woman.
,,Fiona Goode…Fiona for you,'' she winked in Winnie's direction.
Winnie smiled slightly ,,Such an honor…Winnie please for everybody. I don't want to make a bad blood at the beginning, but I can repay back as you saw, and pretty quickly.''
,,Fine. I'll forgive for this time,'' Madison crossed her arms on her chest, her blue dress clutching to her body.
,,There is nothing to forgive me, since it was the truth,'' Winnie smirked again.
,,I'm Zoe,'' giggling girl with long hair uttered to Winnie.
,,My name is Queenie and you're pretty killing her from inside you know it,'' she laughed shaking with her head.
,,I'm Nan. I know what's bothering you and I can tell you she's alright,'' Nan smiled to Winnie.
,,What are you talking about ?'' Winnie confusedly look at her.
,,You're thinking too loud and too much girl. Please stop it for a while. She is okay, fine ?''
,,She's a clairvoyant,'' Cordelia explained.
,,Oh-oh-OH ! Thank you and sorry !'' Winnie's eyes went wide as she realized that she was still thinking about Liz in her room.
,,About who is Nan talking ? What do you mean 'she' Nan ?'' Cordelia asked curiously.
,,M-my Grandma !'' Winnie quickly responded to avoid discovering her hidden cat in her room.
As you can hear me, please play it with me Nan. I don't want them to know about Liz, she's the only one I had. Just say you mean my Grandma is alright in heaven yes…she's dead for half year…please
,,I truly understand your grief,'' Nan nodded. ,,Your Grandma is alright in heaven fine, now just slow down your thoughts please,'' she pleaded desperately.
,,Fine sorry, thank you.''
,,Your Granny is dead ?'' Zoe asked slowly.
,,Yes…for half year already,'' Winnie tried to bite her tears back.
,,And you came here from Tennessee, right ?'' Cordelia added.
,,Yes. I lived there with my mom and my dad. My Mom is still alive, but for four years on drugs so mostly I was raised by my Grandma,'' Winnie tried to distract herself from crying as she bit her nails to her thighs.
,,And your father ?'' Queenie asked.
,,My father is from here. From New Orleans where he actually met my mother. He-he is in jail for something he hadn't done…''
,,How can you know so surely ?!'' Madison used Winnie's weakness to smirk.
,,That's why she's here Madison, she had a gift of Inner Eye,'' Cordelia calmed Madison down.
,,I was different since a little girl. When I predicted an accident of my mom's car. She was two weeks in hospital on intensive care and she made it out from hospital, but I don't want to experience with this ever again. My dad was arrested for a murder which he hadn't done and I know it because I saw where he was during that murder…they just foully planted it on him, and nobody will believe to 17 years old daughter, right because why not ?'' Winnie couldn't stand it anymore and tear ran down her cheek. ,,I already tried to help him out, with my other power or how should I call it-''
,,Gift,'' Cordelia smiled. ,,It's not in every generation. And let it out Winnie. You're with your friends, sister and we stand as one.''
,,Right, even the weakest ones !'' Fiona snarled into Zoe and Madison's direction.
,,Yes,'' Winnie nodded smiling. ,,So only who left me is my mother, which is on drugs since dad is in jail, and my six years old little sister, which I left with my mom in Tennessee. I love her so much, but I was too dangerous after how I tried to help my dad escape. I decided to leave her there, but it's also not that good idea…I want to come back for her in year. I don't know where I put her , but I'm determined I won't leave her with my mom alone for longer than year !''
,,We are not an asylum for some little girl, who is not like us,'' Fiona warned.
,,She will be, I hope, she didn't showed up yet, but I believe in her-''
,,-we'll see,'' Cordelia comforted her.
,,How did you helped your father to nearly escape from prison ?'' Madison still holding her hands crossed on her chest.
,,Her other gift,'' Cordelia smiled.
Winnie suddenly disappeared and touched Madison's shoulder from her back. ,,Like this-''
,,-Aahh !'' Madison yelped.
,,Shut up, I'm not hurting you !'' Winnie laughed.
,,Transmutation, very well Winnie !'' Fiona sighed with smile.
,,So this is how it's called !'' Winnie transported herself behind the sofa she was sitting a minute ago. ,,I didn't know how shall I call it, but I was totally cheating with it in school sports,'' she giggled and walked around the sofa to sit again.
,,You transmuted to jail and tried to take your father with you, but it wasn't the best thing you could do and he almost died during it. They saw you and nearly placed you foster home-''
,,Nan shut up ! She could tell us by herself,'' Queenie uttered.
,,I know, but she's thinking too loud !''
,,Sorry,'' Winnie blushed slightly.
,,Alright lets dissolve this chatter hmm ? I think we get known enough about our little novice,'' Fiona finally stood up and clasped her hands. ,,Would you stay here with me for a while Winnie ?''
,,Ahem-Ye-yes,'' she nodded surprised.
,,Fine girls, time to go. I'll see you in the morning, we'll start our education,'' Cordelia smiled before leaving with other girls.
,,Ha education…did you hear her ? She thinks she can teach you something she know just from her experiments and not experiences !'' Fiona winked at Winnie showing her to sit down. ,,Whiskey ?''
,,No, thanks. I don't drink too much. I'm mostly polite girl you know-''
,,-I know, that's why I want to spoil you a bit, hmm ?''
,,No . Thank you,'' Winnie smiled.
,,Fine. Your loss, and now. About that black cat you're keeping upstairs…'' Fiona filled her glass with Whiskey and took a sip.
,,Wh-awhm-ho-what ?''
,,Girl you should work on your verbal skills, and thoughts too. I don't believe Nan was talking about your Granny, since I understand you loved her, but she was talking about someone absolutely else, right ?'' Fiona smirked drinking again.
,,I don't know about you are talk-''
,,Don't you play with me. The only one who can play is me ! I saw you in the window how you're hiding that cat in your bag, now tell me,'' Fiona leaned closer ,,how you'll convince me to let you have that cat here and not telling about it to Delia hmm ?''
,,I would like that Whiskey now…'' Winnie slowly swallowed.
,,Too late, well ?''
,,Okay, but please promise you won't tell anybody. This is my secret gift that nobody know about, except my little sister,'' Winnie begged.
,,Fine. I promise. You have the word of Supreme. And now spit it c'mon !'' Fiona snapped to Winnie, drinking the rest of her glass and reaching for bottle to pour another one.
,,That cat is my sister,'' Winnie sighed sadly.
,,I though as well !'' Fiona laughed triumphantly ,,and now tell me…how did you do that ?''
,,What ? I though you know since you're Supreme-''
,,Silly one, yes I'm Supreme, but it doesn't mean I have all the powers, okay. Just these two you have I don't have okay ?!'' Fiona gave her a laugh calming her down.
,,I-I don't know, without any spell or any potion I just set my hand and concentrate to certain kind of animal. I must have perfectly imagined it and then I'll transform her. Heh once I transformed one guy who was mocking me to a frog and let him wait for his precious princess,'' she laughed hardly at this memory.
,,Ha, you're better than you seemed to be. Fine she can stay here, but she won't leave your room, you clear ?'' Fiona pointed at Winnie her index finger again.
,,Can she go just on the balcony and the roof ?''
,,Alright, and now go you little Witch Bitch ! I think I'm gonna like you,'' Fiona smirked as Winnie stood up and slowly left the room.
,,Alright, I'll try to make the best den to you somewhere , where they couldn't see you if they walk into my room , hmm ?'' Winnie looked at Liz as she was cleaning herself , licking her hind paw.
,,Meow ?! Mrrreow !''
,,Hush ! You agreed about this, I need to have you near me and I want the best for you. And I promise I will transform you back right when I have a time and chance, but since then you must be a cat…I'm a terrible sister,'' Winnie sighed falling headfirst to bed.
The black cat slowly walking to her and stepping on her back, gently clench and ease her paws several times on Winnies back before laying herself atop of her back and puddling herself all along her back.
,,Are you saying I'm not ?'' Winnie mumbled to the sheets.
,,Meow…'' Liz stood up on her again and walked to her head laying at her, her paws resting on her raised forehead.
,,You know I just wish you could talk in this form,'' Winnie giggled.
,,Meow,'' cat licked at Winnie's hair.
,,Meow of course,'' Winnie laughed.
,,Roarrr !'' cat lightly scratched on her forehead, leaving a small marks.
,,Hey ! I don't want a tattoo…yet !'' Winnie giggled again grabbing the cat and turning herself to her back, putting Liz on her stomach and cuddling with her. Liz tenderly purred as she nuzzled to Winnie's belly and hands.
,,How long is it since you eat something ?'' Winnie asked looking in kitty's brown orbs.
Right after Liz heard a word 'eat' she turned quickly her body to stand up scratching her paws on her belly.
,,Fine, let's see what have we here,'' Winnie stood up looking in her bag. Picking up a bowl and rest of some can. Throwing it into the bowl and showing to Liz she can peacefully eat.
Liz jumped down from bed and stepped to the bowl. She looked up at her sister with a contempt, slowly pushing the bowl aside.
,,Aren't you suddenly a picky ?! Hmm ? I know it's not the best , but I told you since you're cat, you can't eat anything else…you can , but your digestion couldn't take it. Just until I turn you into human again hmm, please hang on,'' Winnie pleaded pushing the bowl again to Liz. She, still with contempt leaned down and start eating as she was really hungry.
,,That's a good sister,'' Winnie giggled. ,,You know what, you like when I sing to you, what about some music ?''
,,Meow !'' Liz immediately raised her head, seem like nodding. But was too hungry so she leaned down again and continued in eating.
,,Fine, sounds like yes !'' Winnie giggled, sitting up on bed and taking her guitar.
,,Our song ?'' asking Liz and she just purred as a response. Winnie start playing on guitar first notes.
,, There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girls
And God I know I'm one…'' she start singing and Liz slowly joined her in purring and twitching her ears in the rhythm of her sister's guitar.
,, My mother was a Tailor
She sowed my new blue jeans.
My father
He was a gamblin' man down
In New Orleans
Oh mother tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done !'' Winnie winked on Liz as she watched her closely when she jumped back on the bed and sit beside her sister.
,, But shun that house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun…'' Winnie smiled at Liz that laid herself down to her big sister's lap.
,,It's my one foot on the platform
The other's on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain !''
Suddenly the door open widely without knocking.
,,Hey !'' Winnie protesting nearly fell out of bed, Liz lightly jumped up, clutching herself to her sister.
,,Sorry, I just needed to see your cat- and Queenie wanted to see her too,'' Nan smiled. ,,Can we ?''
,,Well yes when you are already in my room…wait you told Queenie ? Nan I begged you for not telling anybody,'' Winnie sighed worriedly watching Nan stepping closely sitting next to her on bed and watching Queenine walking into her room.
,,I just didn't tell it just to Madison, don't worry, Zoe won't tell anything and Queenie-''
,,I love cats , even maybe when I don't look on it, I won't tell anything , can I- can I pet her ?''
,,Yes-''
,,You were singing, I liked that, sing it again please,'' Nan smiled again petting Liz on her head.
,,Well since you interrupted me I should do the last verse again,'' Winnie laughed. Liz turned her head to Winnie and shifted herself in her lap again, purring contentedly. Girls scooted closer to Winnie listening to the sound of guitar, petting Liz on her back and head.
,, But shun that house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's my one foot on the platform
The other's on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain !'' Winnie finished her last tones and put the guitar aside.
,,I heard the beginning of that song…I know it otherwise-'' Queenie uttered.
,,Yes , I modified it little with my baby sister to our situation, right Liz ?'' Winnie scratched her back gently and heard her purring in pleasure.
,,Wait that kitty is your sister-'' Queenie asked.
,,-Yes well, that's a long story. We just didn't have a home until now. We were traveling with train, escaping from our past. To our father who is in jail here in New Orleans, and also here in this Academy where I can develop my gifts- and find Lizi's,'' Winnie pet kitty's back.
,,Wow, you were almost outcasts !'' Nan sighed.
,,Yeah something like that…my Grandma always said that in New Orleans is this house, this Academy , and that I shall go in here for my protection. She was one of the Witches in here, but she hadn't enough of time and strength to show me her powers. She said 'Find The House Of The Rising Sun…..Rise And Shine Your Own Way, just as like that Rising Sun and God will let you in his kingdom' –yes she was really pious. And I believe her, and in God...that's why I'm wearing this crucifix,'' Winnie pulled from behind her shirt a surgical steel necklace. ,,Maybe it won't protect me enough, but it was my Granny's and I swear I won't take it down only if somebody force me to…'' she let the crucifix fall an her chest.
,,Granny's are the best we can have…'' Queenie sighed with smile.
,,Agreed-'' Winnie was interrupted by Liz.
,,Meow !'' she scratched on her milky white shirt.
,,You're still hungry ?'' Winnie asked smiling.
,,No she's pretty thirsty…you shall bring her some milk, she really loves you,'' Nan smiled petting desperate Liz.
,,Thank you, alright will you both take care of her until I find some milk , hmmm ?'' Winnie slowly stood up putting black kitty on her bed.
,,Yes, you don't have to be afraid,'' Nan nodded and Queenie as well.
,,Fine, I'll be right back,'' Winnie smiled not even closing the doors and went through the hall and downstairs.
,,Arson ?'' Winnie's attention , however , caught something else than milk…a dialogue between two women, she heard only Fiona but immediately other woman accused.
,,That trashy one lit my curtains on fire…I don't know how she did it, but she did it !''
,,I conjured the devil-'' Madison appeared.
Oh dear, she's pleading for another going-over…Winnie slightly singed in her mind while she stepped closer to the living room slowly creeping in the room.
,,Good luck keeping the boy from me. He's so backed up all I have to say is panties and he'd jizz his jeans…'' Madison teased.
Fine that's it, she wanted this !
,,Madi, Madi, Madison, can you just try to be polite while you rotten through your core. At least to the guests. Good evening,'' Winnie smiled into brunette woman direction her greetings before turning back to Madison.
,,You don't want to make me angry…I just set one piece of rag in fire today, I can do it again !''
,,I'm not scared of you, you little Miss Slut,'' Winnie smirked wickedly.
,,Just stay away from my family. In Jesus Name !'' brunette woman said little huskily and was about to leave the room.
Winnie saw the Bible on the table. ,,Oh , where did this come from ?''
,,I brought it, why ?'' brunette uttered slowly.
,,Can-can I take it ?''
,,Here you go !'' Fiona handed her the Bible.
,,This is the only thing I didn't take from home. Another remind on my pious Granny. Alright , thank you than,'' Winnie smiled at woman in blue modesty dress.
,,You're welcome, I always bring a Good Book in the new neighborhood ,'' she smiled surprised. ,,One couldn't believe you belongs to this…well girls-''
,,But I do,'' Winnie smiled clutching the Bible to her chest.
Brunette eyed her from head to toe with smile, her eyes pinned on her crucifix on her neck.
,,Where did you get this-can I?'' leaning closer reaching for the crucifix.
,,No, please. Sorry, but this is too much precious to me. Ehm from my Granny, I have it since…well always,'' Winnie twitched a little.
,,Sorry, then when you meet your Granny say her, your neighbors are Christians too-''
,,She died half year ago, that's why I'm here,'' Winnie sighed closing her eyes on the memory that haunted her still.
,,Oh you poor girl, I'm so sorry- forgive me I didn't knew I…sorry. My name is Joan Ramsey. And my ban, doesn't apply only to you,'' brunette smiled. ,,Those two girls and all other can't stepped to my house, except of you, you are welcome-''
,,Two…Madison was-''
,,With Nan,'' Madison smirked how she will respond to this.
,,Nan ? But she is good. She's not like this slut-'' Winnie pointed at Madison.
,,Hey you little-''
,,Shut up !'' Winnie snarled into Madison's direction.
,,I don't want her there alright ? As I said just you…what's your name child ?'' Joan smiled.
,,Winifred. Winifred Cork,'' Winnie repaid her smile.
,,Winifred, I will remember you !'' Joan smiled for the last time and left the Academy.
,,You fucking little bitch !'' Madison rushed to Winnie.
And Winifred as she was afraid of what may come just covered her head with her hand upright and squeezed her eyes. But she heard only Madison squeak and a dull hit to the wall. Winnie raised her head and looked at Madison, pinned on the wall. She quickly pulled her hand down and Madison fell to the floor, as fast as she could she stood up and left the room.
,,Brilliantly !'' Fiona smirked.
,,You're really good, that was a compliment so appreciate that ! And now you tiny little spoiler !'' Fiona stood up dangerously stepping to her. ,,You didn't even know what I wanted to do with that holly-roller ! And you just drive her out , just. Like. That. !? Huh ?''
,,I'm sorry I didn't knew I-''
,,Shut !'' Fiona pressed a finger on Winnie's mouth. ,,I feel like I'm still repeating myself today. The only thing in this wicked world you have to be afraid of…is ME !'' Fiona whispered to her lips.
,,But I'm not afraid of you !'' Winnie said courageously, looking into her hazel-brown eyes, just like her own ones.
,,I like you, you're like my daughter I never had…so bold and young, with boiling blood and powers to spare…''
,,But you have a daughter-''
,,But she's not like you !'' Fiona wickedly smiled.
,,What do you mean by thi-''
Fiona quickly silent her with a rough kiss on her lips. Winnie squeaked a little before Fiona pulled away. ,,This was just degustation…wait for next time,'' blonde grabbed her glass and drank it before without any other word going upstairs , heading her room.
Winnie shook with her head trying not to think about it to avoid Nan's curiosity. Decided to think it through later…
What was I coming for…MILK oh Liz…I'm on my way !
