Part 2

In the meantime, the small illustrious group of the witches was complete. Edwina, the top witch, had found a gruesome home for herself and her five sister-witches. This house lay not too far from Schooner Bay. Their next attack had already been planned, and the next victim on their list was Claymore Gregg.

Claymore had no idea that witches were working their mischief in Schooner Bay because he hadn't been in town for a while. Today he got back from a trip to a friend. It was very late in the evening when he stopped his car in front of his office. He got out of the car and went to the door, put the key into the key hole, turned it around and opened the door.

At the moment as he put his right foot in the door way, he fell into a deep hole. A horrified cry from Claymore followed when he fell further and further into that dark hole. Finally, he came to stand on the planks of an old sailing ship. Before he could realize where he was, a terrible hurricane came up and the ship began moving up and down more terribly.

Only now Claymore registered where he was. A new terrible cry of his followed. "NO!" and then suddenly he felt dreadfully bad. He began to weaken as the waves got bigger and bigger. He was so seasick, he couldn't even cry for help.

And then suddenly the scene changed and Claymore found himself back in his own bed. He was dreadfully green in the face and he still felt unbelievably seasick. Somehow he still managed to call Dr. Ferguson for help before he had been completely overcome.

Brenda, the witch who had thought up this trick, was enormously satisfied with the result of her joke. She shook with laughter at the wretched sight of Claymore Gregg, and thought to herself. 'What an idiot!'

At the same time, in the gruesome house, two another witches were planing the next step. Melissa and Edwina planned to cause unrest in Gull Cottage. And they had thought up an particularly underhanded plan. Both knew that the ghost of Captain Gregg still haunted the place and that Mrs. Muir had moved into the cottage a short time ago. They knew that the Captain and Mrs. Muir were in love with each other. And both witches had still to settle an open issue with him. "Edwina, now we will have our revenge on Captain Gregg. He shall atone now for the ignominy which he has done to us." Melissa said.

"Yes, Melissa! Now comes our revenge." was Edwina's furious answer. Both witches intended to make Carolyn and Daniel intensely jealous. They intended to promote discord between the Captain and Mrs. Muir.

"But we must be quiet!" Edwina reminded her sister, looking around suspiciously as the other witch cackled in delight at what was to come. "We don't want Mr. Turner to foil our plans, do we?"

Melissa hissed at the very name. "NO! He shall not take from us what is our due! We have waited too long for this! You are right, sister. Stealthily must we act if we are to be successful." Her expression grew thoughtful. "Hmmm... Who shall we use as bait for the Muir wench? That irish chap who fancies himself a writer, perhaps?" Melissa suggested, a glint in her eye.

Edwina sniffed disdainfully. "No. Too obvious. Besides, she already knows what he's about. Give the girl some credit, dear. She has eyes to see and knows how to use them. No," she continued pensively, "this requires a more elaborate approach. Let me think..." Edwina's eyes grew wide and her mouth stretched into a demonic smile as the idea struck her. "Brilliant! She will never suspect a thing! Oh, Melissa, revenge is finally at hand!"

On the following day, two more adult townspeople became the victims of a nasty witch attack. Wanda and Hilda, two other witches, had chosen Ed Peevey and Norrie Coolidge as their next victims Ed was their first victim. Wanda lured him with a bogus phone call out of his office. The message was: "Ed, you are urgently needed in Gull Cottage." Of course, Ed thought it was Martha who had called for him. But it was Wanda, who had spoken with Martha's voice on the phone. And Ed was promptly taken in by it. So he hurried on the way to his truck.

But, while, only about fifteen steps away from his truck, the car suddenly changed into a gigantic monster. Ed got a great fright. At first glance he was rigid with fright. But when the monster was going to attack him, the stiffness moved and Ed ran for his life.

The monster followed him with big steps. Ed ran and ran without knowing where. He finally arrived in front of Dr. Ferguson's practice, the monster still behind him. Ed looked around briefly, noticing that the monster was still behind him.

In his fear he pounded as wildly as he could at the doctor's door. At the moment when the monster reached him and wanted to grip him, the door was opened and Ed landed full speed in the doctor's arms. The monster vanished as suddenly as it had appeared and was never more to be seen.

At the same time, in Norrie's restaurant, Norrie was just in the kitchen when three monster lobsters appeared before him which Hilda had sent him. Norrie began yelling for help as these monster lobsters were there to attack him. But nobody heard his cry for help. The exit to safety was blocked by those lobsters. Norrie sat in the trap. There was no way for him to escape. The lobsters attacked him with zeal. One caught Norrie with his scissors at the right upper arm.

Norrie cried with pain and then fainted. He was hardly unconscious when the lobster abandoned him and all three lobsters vanished in the same manner they had got there. The lobsters had hardly disappeared when Norrie's cook found him unconscious with a strongly bleeding wound on his right upper arm. The cook immediately called Dr. Ferguson and asked him to come very quickly to Norrie's restaurant as it was a matter of life and death.

Now, Dr. Ferguson had completely finished with the nerves. First, Penelope Hassenhammer, then Claymore Gregg and now Ed Peevey and Norrie Coolidge. Who would become his next patient? This was really too much work for a single doctor alone. At this time he couldn't suspect that he had been selected as the next victim of the witches.

Wanda and Hilda, who had watched the scenes, were fiendishly happy. Edwina was right, Schooner Bay was a perfect place for their Halloween fun.
