Ambrose, struggling to open his eyes, took a long yawn before he could see Sabrina properly. She was standing in front of him, holding nothing other than a … vase? He thought wasn't seeing clearly.

"Sabrina what could be so urgent?" he said sleepily as he sat up in bed.

"I took Salem to school today," she began.

"You took your familiar cat to school? How? In your purse? Poor Salem," Ambrose rumbled.

"Exactly. Except I couldn't just take him in my purse, poor thing. So, I cast a transformation spell on him to make him look like my favourite teddy, so no one will suspect a thing,"

"Right. Nothing suspicious about a sixteen-year old girl taking her teddy to school," Ambrose added.

"Ambrose I'm serious. I had to take him with me to protect me from Ms Wardwell. I can't trust her," Sabrina explained.

"Right; so what is the problem then?" Ambrose stood up.

"The spell worked but…. I can't seem to reverse him back. I tried loads of times but he keeps turning into other inanimate objects except his true self," Sabrina said, getting all teary.

"Where is Salem now?" Ambrose asked.

Sabrina without saying another word, handed over the vase to Ambrose.

"You put him in a vase?" Ambrose asked confused.

"No; Salem IS the vase," Sabrina uttered, making a face.

"What?!" Ambrose widened his eyes; he was definitely awake now.

"I told you the reverse spell is not working! I can't tell my aunties; Aunt Z would kill me. Help me please!" Sabrina pleaded, as she got down on her knees.

"Fine, let me see what I can do," Ambrose said as he reached out to one of his books.

"I seem to have forgotten what true carnality feels like, with you," Zelda let out a sigh of comfort as she lay in her bed, wrapped in her crème-coloured bed sheet with Faustaus by her side, stroking her arm, with his delicate fingers.

"It has been quite some years ago, but I still remember the first time I lay eyes on you," Faustaus said, gazing in her eyes upon her.

"Now we're here again," Zelda replied, tracing her finger over his lips.

Faustaus leaned in to meet her lips again until they were interrupted by loud cries coming from the basement.

"Is that…?" Faustaus looked around.

"Sabrina!" Zelda called as she quickly pushed him over, got out of bed and put on her night robe as fast as she could, "you stay here!" she ordered.

Zelda hurriedly made her way downstairs and tried to follow the screams; which led her to the embalming room. As a witch she witnessed a lot of horrific things, but never in a million years she expected to see such a horrid creature in her own home. A half bear with his other half what looked like a dragon, stood before Sabrina, Ambrose and her, raging and roaring fire.

"What in Satan's name is going on?!" Zelda yelled, both furious and terrified. She elevated her hands about to banish the creature with one of her spells, when Sabrina promptly stopped her.

"Aunt Z, no that's Salem!" she cried, "Please reverse him back!"

"What's all this racket?!" Hilda came running into the room and dropped her jaw open when she witnessed such a thing.

Frowning at Sabrina, Zelda stepped up, "Quickly, gather around it and hold each other's hands!" Everyone did as they were instructed to, whilst Zelda mumbled a few Latin words. In an instant, the horrid creature was banished and there he was, cute little black kitty Salem, sitting amongst their circle.

"Oh, thank the Dark Lord, you're back!" Sabrina said, almost crying as she knelt down to pick up her beloved familiar.

"I believe you young lady have some explaining to do!" Zelda yelled as she crossed her arms and rested them against her body.

"I'm sorry Aunty, I cast a transformation spell on Salem and Ambrose and I were trying to reverse it back," Sabrina explained, still holding Salem as he purred peacefully.

"How dare you cast spells so irresponsibly?! You very well know that reversing spells is not as easy as casting them; you can never fully know what the outcome will be! You're not even a full-witch! You should not be casting such spells on your own in the first place!" Zelda raised her voice, furiously.

"Sabrina darling, you can unleash all sorts of creatures into the world with a transformation spell," Hilda told her beloved niece with half a smile.

"That's why I tried helping her, but not even I could seem to control it," Ambrose uttered, trying to help.

"Thank Satan we came down here in time! Do you know how much havoc you could have caused if that monstrous creature escaped into the world?! Not to mention exposing dark magic like that?!" Zelda was spitting fire.

"I'm sorry aunties. I will never cast a great spell like that without permission," Sabrina said as her face fell.

"You are supposed to be transforming into a witch-adult soon! When are you going to learn to act more responsible, you foolish child!" Zelda yelled one last time, before they all heard a loud banging noise coming from upstairs. Zelda's body froze; 'oh no' she thought.

"What was that?" Ambrose asked, as they looked up.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Zelda uttered, trying to conceal the fact she might have had a pretty good idea where the noise came from. But then there was the noise again. Quickly, they all made their way upstairs following the noise which seemed to be coming from Hilda's room.

"I think it's best if we don't go in there," Hilda mumbled with half a smile.

Zelda quite confident her secret lover was safe in her room, added "Don't be a fool Hilda! Only Satan knows what other creatures this teenage witch unleashed with that spell; and it very well might be in your room!" she said as she burst open Hilda's bedroom door. But it was only a few seconds later, she wished she hadn't. She was surprised to see Faustaus, fully dressed, cane in hand, standing in the middle of the room with-

"Dr Cerberus?!" Zelda widened her eyes at the sight of Dr Cerberus, Hilda's lover, half naked, "what on Earth are you doing here?" She tried her best to deviate the attention from Father Blackwood's presence in their home.

"I could ask you the same question about our High Priest, Zelda!" Hilda asked back.

Ambrose and Sabrina, looked at each other, quite close to burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry Zelda; It was getting late, I tried teleporting back to the Academy but somehow I shifted my focus and ended up in here again, obviously scaring Dr Cerberus in the process," Faustaus explained.

"You're not the only one who has a lover, Zelda. You think we didn't know?" Hilda said smiling.

"Wow; and I'm the irresponsible witch?!" Sabrina folded her arms confidently across her chest, grinning.

Zelda, totally embarrassed, replied, "Let's call it a night, shall we? Everyone back to their chambers! And you are still grounded, young lady!" she said before she stormed off to her room, whilst Sabrina and Ambrose headed down the corridor dying of laughter.

THE END
