Set in the Finding You Always universe, but it is absolutely not necessary to have read Finding You Always to enjoy this Halloween fic.

When Henry, a virgin, lights the Black Flame candle in his Grandpa Gold's shop on Halloween night, he accidentally brings the return of three witches. But these aren't the Sanderson sisters. This brings the return of the Black Fairy, along with Yzma and Cruella De Vil. The three proceed to wreak havoc on Storybrooke. It's up to the Charmings, Golds, and Regina to thwart their plot and make sure their stay isn't permanent.

This is set a few years after the Final Battle in that fic and before Henry leaves Storybrooke to travel the realms.

In Finding You Always, Snow and David have 5 children. Emma, twins - Leo and Eva, who are all grown. Then they have nine-year-old Summer and three-year-old Bobby.

This is the final part of this story. Hope you enjoyed this little mini Halloween fic. :)

Thanks for the great responses! I hope everyone continues to enjoy this little mini Halloween fic! Here are responses to individual reviews:

TheInferno1536: Glad you like it. Violet wasn't in Gold's shop. She was passing by, saw Henry inside, and went in then. Could Henry have beaten up the bullies? I guess, if you want to do a complete one-eighty on his character. He may have been through a lot, but that doesn't mean that physical fighting is his first reaction. Especially since we're talking two guys that are much bigger than him. And using his powers as the author to scare them? Yeah, again that would be totally out of character for him. Not to mention, it sends a horrible message. Just because you know how to fight doesn't mean you should. It should always be a last resort. I took martial arts when I was younger so I know. It's must be the last course of action. And Henry's family would have raised him as such. He would not go decking some dudes that were calling him names. You fight when you have no other choice. But nonetheless, glad you like the story. :)

Grace5231973: I know! I love writing Cruella. She's so fun. Yeah, I had to take away magic so the witches were kind of a threat. Cause even without it, they hold their own pretty well. :)

Austenphile: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I love David's reaction to Cruella too. I think it's going to become a running gag in my fics now, because it's just so funny. But you're right, Bobby kicking Yzma in the shins was the best part, lol.

sexystarwarslover: So glad you love it! It was a lot of fun to write. Yep, Henry kinda messed up pretty bad here. I love Cruella and her quips. She's too fun to write. I had to find a way to get that line in, even if I had to change sisters to sidekicks. It still totally works. Ha, yeah Yzma as Tinkerbell is scary. But yes, one of the best parts was Bobby kicking her in the shins. lol. :)

It's Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus

Part 3

"Man...every year, this town gets lamer and lamer," Rivers complained, as he ate more candy.

"You're telling me. It's not even that fun stealing candy from the kiddies anymore. Wish we could blow this stupid town for a place like New York," Carny agreed, as he stuffed his face with more of the candy that they had bullied from several little kids, just as Yzma rounded the corner.

"Curse that insipid Snow White...she ruins everything," Yzma complained.

"Whoa...get a load of the hag. That's one hideous costume," Rivers commented.

"No joke…" Carny agreed.

"I'll have you know, you stupid punks, that this is no costume," Yzma informed them. This caused them both to bust up laughing.

"Damn...then you got hit by the ugly bus," Carny said.

"Yeah...at least you waited until it was dark to come out!" Rivers added.

"That's it...I'm sick of the hag and dinosaur quips," Yzma snapped, as the two idiots disappeared in puffs of yellow smoke. They reappeared hanging upside from a light pole outside Gold's pawn shop.

"Ahhhhh!" Rivers screamed.

"Let us down!" Carny pleaded. Yzma smirked in satisfaction, as she waltzed into the shop to find Fiona brewing a potion in a cauldron.

"Is it almost ready?" she questioned. Fiona gave her a sharp glare.

"It is...but it doesn't do any good without any children!" she snapped.

"I tried to lure them to me, but they wouldn't come!" Yzma countered.

"That's because your face is far more frightening than any Halloween mask ever could be," Fiona retorted.

"Hello dahlings…" Cruella called, as she swished into the shop. Fiona sighed in frustration, as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"What part of don't return here without any brats don't you understand?!" Fiona cried.

"Sheriff Chisel Chin and his distasteful daughter spoiled my plan. I was going to use puppies to lure the brats to me and then make a magnificent coat out of them. But alas...they spoiled my fun, as usual," Cruella reported, as she smirked.

"But fear not...I have another plan," she said, as she left as quickly as she came.

"What do you want me to do?" Yzma asked.

"Continue the brewing process, since I'm clearly going to have to do the hard part myself," Fiona said, as she disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

"Let us down!" Rivers pleaded.

"All the blood is rushing to my head!" Carny complained.

"I think I'm gonna puke!" Rivers warned. Yzma chuckled evilly.

"That's what nasty boys get," she hissed.


David and Emma hurried along the streets of Storybrooke, as Trick or Treating was in full force, even though it was getting quite late. The holidays were always a big deal in Storybrooke though and trick or treating events peppered the town every year on this night. It was just about the only night that was acceptable for children to be out so late. They were supposed to be enjoying it too right now with the little ones, before going to the Halloween party later, but crisis had once again struck their town.

"Where do you think she went?" Emma questioned.

"It's hard to say with her...they need kids and kids are everywhere tonight," he replied. Then Emma had a thought.

"Archie and Marco were going to set up a face painting and costume contest at the old castle playground tonight! It's going to be a big draw," she said.

"I bet that's where she is," he agreed, as they took off running for the park.


When they arrived, they hard Marco angrily telling someone off.

"You...get out of here! This is no place for your evil!" Marco cried, as Archie was trying to keep all the children back. As expected, Cruella was there...in a costume. And not just any costume, but a Snow White costume, complete with a bad wig. And she was still wearing her monstrosity of a fur coat as well. Fortunately, her mother had never worn anything remotely close to her movie counterpart, but it was still an unsettling sight.

"But I'm Snow White...come little children. We can have such fun together," she cooed, but they all shied away from her.

"Cruella!" David shouted, as she looked up.

"Oh...there you are, dahling. What do you think?" she asked, gesturing to her outfit.

"This is what you're into, right?" she questioned, as she walked toward them.

"Seriously...did you actually think a bad costume would lure children to you?" Emma questioned. Cruella huffed.

"Well, it was worth a shot, but the little beasts are stubborn. Guess I'll just have to force the little brats to come with me," she replied.

"You're not going anywhere with any kids," David refuted.

"Anger is such a delicious color on you, dahling," she cooed, as she moved into the street.

"Unfortunately...I'm going to have to take care of you and your meddlesome daughter," Cruella hissed, as her hands glowed with green magic and she prepared to launch the attack at them. David put his arm in front of Emma, ready to take the blow for his daughter. But he wouldn't have to, for a white SUV sped toward the two toned witch and hit her head on. Cruella cried out in terror and went flying and flailing through the air, before landing in a heap of fur several feet away. David and Emma grinned, as Snow got out of the car with Leo, Henry, and Violet.

"Nice one, Mom," Emma complimented.

"Thanks sweetie," she said, as she kissed her husband.

"That was incredible...you're amazing," he said, as their lips parted.

"I thought you'd like that," she replied, as Cruella screamed in frustration, as she pulled herself to her feet. She was disheveled and her fur coat was torn and stained.

"Oh...you horrible retch! You ruined my beautiful coat!" she whined. Snow rolled her eyes.

"Mark my words...I will have the last laugh!" she promised, before disappearing. Unfortunately, their problems were just beginning, as Regina and Robin hurried to them.

"We have a big problem," she said.

"That's a bit of an understatement," David deadpanned.

"What's going on?" Snow asked.

"It's the other two and I'm sure Cruella is joining them. We saw them going into town hall where the party is," Regina replied.

"But why would they bother with that party? There's no kids there," Emma said.

"I don't know, but we better go," Snow said, as they all got into Snow's car.


The three witches laughed hysterically, as they came out of Town Hall.

"Oh, that was so much fun...you have quite a singing voice, dahling," Cruella commended.

"Thank you...lyrical spells are flashy, but fun," Fiona agreed, as they saw the Charmings hurrying toward them.

"You're too late...I've put all the other adults in Storybrooke under my spell," Fiona said.

"And she was magnificent!" Yzma added.

"She literally put a spell on them with a song! And now they'll dance until they die!" Cruella cackled.

"It doesn't matter...your spell will break when you become dust again!" Henry refuted. Fiona smirked at him.

"And do you really think that you can protect every child in Storybrooke, young one? Especially now that most of the adults are otherwise...occupied?" she questioned. Henry frowned and she laughed.

"Split up, my sisters...and bring me whatever child you can find! The time to try and lure them to us is over! Take them by force if you have to!" Fiona ordered. David drew his sword.

"We'll stop you!" he warned. She glowered at him.

"You'll try...and fail!" she promised, as the three of them disappeared.

"Ugh...how are we going to keep track of them when they keep doing that and we can't," Leo complained.

"We have to track the old fashioned way. We have the best tracker right here," David said, as he smiled at Snow. She smiled back.

"And we have Wilby too," she reminded.

"I'll go get him," Leo said, as he hurried off.


Eva smiled, as she checked on her little siblings. They were asleep on a couple of cots they had set up for the night with the other children under their watch.

"Out like a light," Paul said, as he smiled at the sight.

"Mmm...and no tummy aches, which is a miracle, considering how much candy they both ate," she replied.

"You're really good with them…" he mentioned.

"I enjoy the pediatrics ward too," she agreed, as he leaned in to kiss her. Eva closed her eyes, as he pressed his lips to hers and they smiled when their lips parted. Unfortunately, Eva screamed then, as Fiona tossed her boyfriend away and he hit the wall.

"Paul!" she cried, as she tried to run to him, but the Black Fairy froze her in place.

"Sorry kitten...but I need a child and I can't think of any other that I'd rather suck dry than your brat of a little sister," Fiona said, as she strode toward Summer, who was awake now, thanks to the ruckus. The other children, including Bobby, were awake too now. But Fiona paid them no mind and Summer screamed, as she grabbed her.

"Say goodbye to little sister," she hissed, before disappearing.

"No!" Eva cried, as she could move again, but it was too late.

"Eva...what's gonna happen to Summer?" Bobby whimpered. She picked her baby brother up, just as Paul groaned.

"Don't worry...Mommy and Daddy will save her," she promised, before hurrying to Paul, as he got up.

"Are you hurt?" she asked.

"No...just dazed. I'm fine," he promised.

"She took Summer," Eva cried.

"We'll get her back...let's go find your parents," he said. She nodded, as they hurried off, taking Bobby with them.


"Ugh...I feel so sick!" Rivers complained.

"I can't feel my head anymore," Carny whined. It was well after midnight now and nearing morning now, but it couldn't be too soon for the two bullies. They spotted Henry and Violet hurrying to the shop with his family.

"Nolan! Nolan!" Rivers called.

"Thank God Someone is here...please you gotta help us!" Carny pleaded.

"Really? Help you after you bullied me?" Henry questioned.

"We're really sorry…" Rivers pleaded.

"Yeah dude please...let us down. I'm gonna puke my guts out," Carny complained.

"We've got bigger problems than this. But I will do one thing," Henry said, as they looked hopeful. But Henry simply took back his jacket that Rivers was wearing.

"Thanks," Henry said, as he hurried inside the shop, as the two bullies expressed their frustration in groans.

"They've been bullying you?" Emma questioned.

"It's not really a good time to talk about this, Mom," Henry replied.

"Fine...but we're talking about it when this is over for sure," Emma said sternly. He sighed and put his jacket back on.

"This must be the potion," David said, as they approached the cauldron, which was bubbling with a green liquid.

"Tsk tsk...dahlings," Cruella goaded, as she blasted them all back with green magic. She smirked at them and zapped David again.

"You...there…" she purred, as he was picked up and them slammed against one of the walls.

"Yes...that's better," Cruella cooed, as she ran a gloved hand along his face.

"Touch him again and I'll shred that monstrosity of a coat you're wearing," Snow growled. Cruella smirked.

"She does have a lot of spunk. I suppose I can see what you see in her. Except all the goodness and birds and such," she said distastefully, as Yzma walked into the shop, limping.

"Weren't you supposed to find a child?" Cruella asked.

"Those little brats...they all run and scream. And the ones that don't kick really hard," she complained.

"You know, it's nearing dawn. Guess you'll all soon be dust after all," David said smugly.

"Shh dahling...just be quiet and look pretty," Cruella purred, as she started petting his face, much to his disgust.

"He's right...you're going to lose," Snow promised.

"I think it's time to shut you up permanently, princess," Yzma hissed.

"I agree...I told you I'd put you back in your glass coffin, Snow White," Cruella agreed.

"Leave her alone!" David growled, but neither listened, as they took Snow by the arms and dragged her to the counter.

"You know...since we have all the magic, we could have some fun," Yzma suggested.

"What do you have in mind?" Cruella asked with intrigue.

"Well...princess here loves her birds. Perhaps she'd like to become one...for eternity," Yzma seethed. Snow's eyes widened, as her hand became alive with magic. Fortunately, she wouldn't be able to finish the spell, as she was suddenly belted with a crowbar. Regina stood there smugly and Cruella backed away.

"Stay back...you have no powers here!" she said, as her magic wore off and allowed the others to move.

"Thanks Regina," Snow said, as Cruella circled with them. David smirked, as he pushed the cauldron toward her. She tried to steady it, but as it swung back toward him, he pushed it harder. Yzma groaned, as she got up, but it was too late. Together, David and Henry dumped the cauldron on the two witches. They cried out in horror and pain.

"Look at what you've done to my beautiful coat! It's ruined even more now!" Cruella cried.

"Your coat?! That's what you're worried about? Fiona is going to kill us! There's no time to make more potion!" Yzma screamed.

"You idiots!" Fiona roared, as she stormed into the shop. Snow cried out though, as the woman had their little girl.

"Summer!" they cried.

"Mommy...Daddy...help!" she pleaded.

"Let her go...please!" Snow cried, as David held her.

"You have no potion left...it's over. Just let her go!" David cried. Fiona smirked evilly, as she picked up the wooden spoon that they had been using to stir the potion.

"Wrong...there is just enough left for one child and this is the one," she said, as Summer kicked and screamed.

"Open your mouth, brat!" she growled and then cried out, as Summer bit her hand. She dropped the girl and David swept her up, before they started running. Fiona seethed, as she put the remaining potion in a vial.

"Follow them...I want that little brat!" Fiona roared, as the other two witches scurried out and she followed.


"How are we going to hold them off until the sun comes up?" Emma wondered. They were almost there, but with them having magic, it was still going to be difficult to evade them for long. Robin's eyes widened.

"The cemetery!" he cried.

"What?" Regina asked.

"It's sacred ground...those which have gone to the Underworld cannot set foot on hallowed ground," Robin recalled.

"But we've been to the Underworld," Henry reminded.

"Yes...but none of you were dead," Robin countered.

"It's worth a shot," Snow said, as they hurried to the graveyard. The three witches were right behind them, but stopped just short of the cemetery grounds. Fiona poofed three brooms into their hands.

"Nice try...but it still won't be enough!" Fiona called, as they took to the air and hovered over the graveyard.

"Yzma…" Fiona ordered, motioning her to the left.

"Cruella…" Fiona ordered again, motioning her to the right, while she flew down the center, setting her sights on Snow and Charming. They cried out, as the ground burst open beneath them and Snow became stuck. David tried pulling her free from the jagged ground, as Fiona closed in.

"Charming...go! Get Summer out of here!" Snow cried. He hated leaving her, but knew he had to protect their baby first. He let go of her hand and started running with Summer in his arms. Regina, Robin, and Leo were blasted away from helping him by Yzma, while Cruella blasted Emma, Henry, and Violet, just as Belle, Rumple, and Neal arrived.

Fiona cackled, as vines burst forth from the ground and wrapped around David.

"No!" he cried, as she snatched Summer away hovered above them.

"Open your mouth!" she demanded, as the girl kicked and screamed while she tried to get the potion down her. Henry managed to get up and picked up a rock. With great aim, he knocked the potion out of Fiona's hand. She cried out, as it fell to the ground.

"No…" she cried, as it was slowly getting lighter. She had but minutes.

"Give me that potion or my last act before I'm dust shall be to break her little neck!" Fiona threatened.

"No!" Snow and David cried. Henry looked at the potion in his hand and then back at the witch.

"No...if you want a kid...then you'll have to settle for me," he said, as he downed the sour potion.

"Henry no!" Emma and Neal cried, as their son was now glowing a urethral green. Fiona seethed and let Summer fall. David dodged and caught their little girl, as the witch grabbed Henry by the shirt and took to the air with him.

"Henry!" Emma and Neal cried, as he dangled from her broom and she attempted to suck on his life force. But more rocks pelted her and she dropped him, before being knocked off the broom. Henry landed beside the witch and she growled, as she crawled over to him. Grabbing him by the shirt, she lifted him up and attempted to resume sucking his life force away. But she was puzzled when it didn't work and as she looked to the east. The sun peeked over the horizon and she let out a shriek of agonized defeat.

"Well...this sucks…" Yzma deadpanned, as she exploded to dust.

"Oh poo…" Cruella pouted, as she exploded to dust next. Fiona screamed, as she was turned to stone. Henry broke away from her frozen clutches and covered his eyes, as Fiona's statue also then exploded to dust. It was over...the witches were dead again.

David hurried over and helped Snow from the broken ground. She hugged their baby and then her lips crashed against her husband's, which came as no surprise to anyone.

Emma and Neal hugged Henry fiercely, while Regina and Rumple each tested a fireball, ensuring that magic had returned and everything was back to normal.

"No more messing around with stuff in your grandfather's shop," Neal chided.

"I know...it was stupid. I'm sorry," he apologized, looking at them and his Grandpa Gold.

"We have all done foolish things, my boy. No hard feelings," Gold stated.

"Honey...why didn't you tell us that kids from school were giving you a hard time?" Emma questioned. He sighed.

"Because...they're just jerks that like to harass me, because…" he trailed off.

"Because of your family," Emma realized.

"And I know you'd all want to defend me and help, but trust me, it just would have made things worse. I can handle it better from now on though...I promise," he said. Emma nodded in acceptance and hugged him tightly. David and Snow smiled at them and then each other.

"Mommy...can we go home?" Summer asked.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea. We'll call Eva on the way home and have her come home with Bobby too," Snow replied, as Charming kissed her hair and then Summer's.

"Come on...now that things are back to normal, I say we hit Granny's up for breakfast, before we go home," David suggested. They all agreed, even though they were tired, no one had eaten since the day before. Emma and Neal put their arms around their son and followed her parents and his father through town. Once again, another crisis in Storybrooke had been averted and good had won out. Henry had learned several valuable lessons and had a new appreciation for the peace they now had. And for his family, for no matter what mistakes he made, he knew they would always have his back. No matter what he would face, his family would be there and he would never forget that. They were in this together and he would never hide his problems from them again. Whether the problem was magical or ordinary, Henry would never be alone in any fight and good and love would always prevail over evil...
