Ch 10
It was about an hour into the festivities downstairs that both Harvey and Sabrina realized that they weren't gonna get any sleep here, so they both decided to go to Harvey's house, where they could take proper rest.
"Here's our fearless leader and her boy toy now!" Nick bellowed out from the pile of half-naked witches and warlocks, mostly witches, who all applauded Sabrina and crammed around her.
As Sabrina was distracted by this Harvey felt a tug on his arm, it was a frantic Roz, who looked like she had just rushed over here in the middle of the night.
"What's wrong?"
"I..I had a vision!" Roz said to him and told Harvey all about the dream she had the other night.
"Oh, don't worry about that Roz, everything is gonna be allright….cough…cough" Harvey said with confidence.
"What? How can you say that?"
"Because I tell you what's gonna happen. Some big bad is gonna come, he's gonna hit us hard and when we fall, when everything seems hopeless, Sabrina will come up with an insane plan, which she will single handedly pull of and save the day. And she will screw up, and make mistakes that will have horrible consequence, but she'll fix them. In the end she'll always come through for us, Why? Cause she's Sabrina 'take shit for nobody' Spellman the Teenage Witch, the grooviest of them all, and no one can hold a candle to her." Harvey replied and immediately heard a round of cat calls and whistles from behind.
His little speech to Roz had been heard by the other witches present and apparently they found it very sexy.
"Tone it down Harvey. I'm already banging you, you don't have to butter me up like that." Sabrina said, though her facial expression and posture spoke of the exact opposite, she liked being praised by Harvey like that.
"Enough of that. Since this is a party, let's kick it into high gear!" Nick said and sat down at the dining room table and put an apple on his head.
Harvey let out an 'ugh' of exasperation and as a form of protest he didn't shoot the apple of Nick's head, but he took the steak knife from the knife rack and threw it at the apple, knocking it Nick's head and embedding it in the wall behind him.
Much to the cheers of the witches that saw this.
"OOO! This apple thing is an incredible rush! I'm pretty sure that if I get a drug test after this, I'd test positive for cocaine!" Nick said with glee, which made the witches, and much to Harvey's dismay Roz and Sabrina laugh at that.
"Let's do another!"
"No."
"Come on! Can we do it again?"
"No"
"Can we do it again?"
"No."
Harvey eventually got fed up enough with the conversation to such a degree that he grabbed the knife he threw and jammed it right in between Nick's index and middle finger, right in the sweet spot between their bases where you needed pin point accuracy to hit it.
Harvey was not a violent man, but he had a long day and he snapped just now hopping that it would intimidate Nick.
Unfortunately this was Nick Scratch, and apparently this didn't discourage him in the least, judging by the cheerful and salacious eyes that Nick gave Harvey.
That and much to Harvey's surprise the other witches hadn't been shocked by his actions, if anything the threat of a violence from him made them giggle at his antics.
Witches having fun from violence born of witchunters.
Maybe Sabrina was right and the cancer was affecting his brain.
"Bad aim farmboy, you didn't even prick me."
"Oh, you're plenty a prick as it is."
"Oh, getting feisty are we? I must be starting to make you very mad indeed, I think I should get spanked for being such a naughty boy." Nick says and turned around in his seat and presented his derriere to Harvey, this made the other witches laugh even louder than before.
"For the last time, I am not into you! I like girls, women, chicks, babes, vaginas, get it through your thick skull I AM NOT ATRACTED TO YOU!" Harvey shouted, being on the last of his patience.
Then he heard a snore coming from Nick.
Harvey went around and saw that Nick's eyes where closed and he was snoring in an exaggerated manner.
"I'm sorry, did you say something? I just happened to randomly asleep at that part." Nick said cheekily, and Harvey felt another coughing fit come over him from the stress from Scratch's antics.
"It's moments like this that I hate being the mature one." Harvey said and took a drag of his inhaler.
He turned to Sabrina for support but found that she was half keeled over in laughter, along with Roz.
"Et tu Brina? Et tu Roz?" Harvey said half-serious, half-jokingly.
"Oh, stop being so dramatic Harvey. Lighten up a bit more, this is a party since we're all rolling on top now!" Sabrina said with happiness in her voice, she was happy to see Harvey being something else than wallowing in despair from guilt over all the loyalist satanic warlocks that witches that where killed just now.
"I like being on top too Brina." Harvey said an immediately grabbed the apple that she impaled of Nick's head and jammed it into Nick's open mouth before he could make another lewd comment on Harvey saying ' he liked to be on top'.
Scratch just wiggled his eyebrows and grabbed the apple with his hand, removed it from his mouth and started licking it sensually.
"I liked you better when you hated my guts." Harvey deadpanned and before the show could continue anymore the sound of gunfire was heard coming from outside.
A lot of gunfire.
In that moment the door burst open and trough it came a screeching demon, whose head exploded a moment latter from a sniper round.
As the lifeless corpse fell to the floor, the current occupants of the Spellman house all rushed to the windows to see what was going.
Outside there was screams and chaos, shots and sparks in the night.
Chaos reigned as this unseen battlefield roared all across the darkness.
Then they came.
From the darkness 5 figures stepped forward, all clad from head to toe in plate like armor, a bello like helmet on their face that covered all, red like eye lids and an inverted U covered the mouth area, where air was let in. On their backs where jetpack like things and their weapons where something else.
They carried rifles with barrels that where big enough for them to be grenades. One had a great two handed hammer, another a chainsaw like sword in one hand and a bolter like gun in the other.
Another a flame thrower, another great sniper rifle and the final one a huge rocket launcher.
They raised their guns towards the Spellman home.
"Duck for cover!" One of them shouted and the witches did so and at the last minute they raised their aim and shot above the house, where a moment latter several lesser demons fell from the Spellman roof.
The 5 armored men then ran forward, their armors so great and heavy that it was like watching a tank move on two legs.
They finished off the demons that fell off the witch house and stab, smashed and burned them to a crisp.
As they did so the screams and the gunfire died down and all was silence, like the battle had never even taken place.
Once that was done the 5 man squad turned their gaze towards the Spellman house and the witches and allies inside, who stood up and looked at the 5 killing machines given flesh.
The lead one of them inclined his head a bit, in a gesture of acknowledgement and none aggression and Sabrina then stepped forward and inclined her head as well.
This seemed to relax the 5 man group and they half lowered their guard, and started rearming their weapons with fresh ammo packs, or cleaning their melee weapons of blood.
"Let me guess, you're all witchunters, right?" Sabrina said in a deadpan manner.
"Correct. Order of Templars-Poor knights of Crist. 77th company." The apparent leader of this group said as he cleaned his chain sword of blood and guts.
"Brother sergeant. Inform the other squads that they are to perform a sweep and establish a perimeter. Leave no demon survivors that may plague us more this night."
"Yes, brother captain." The sergeant said and placed his hand to the right ear part of the domed helmet and then started giving orders under his breath.
"I'm guessing that from your actions you are not here to fight us." Zelda said, coming up next to Sabrina.
"Affirmative. Our mission here is to give aide to your rebellion and to establish diplomatic ties with your new coven."
At that there was a rush or murmur and disbelief amongst the gathered witches.
"Pardon….are you suggesting that the Church of the f…The Church of Light, is seeking an alliance with us?" Zelda asked in disbelief.
"Yes. The Vatican is gathering allies to vanquish the Morningstar's influence from this world. You're rebellion is key to this. As such I am here to extend several papal bulls from his holiness the Pope towards the Spellman clan coven." The Captain said and brought our two letter from his belt pouch, one was given to Zelda and one to Ambrose.
"This is an offer for military and financial aid for our coven. And…and an invitation for tea in Rome from the Pope of light in order to discuss the details of a treaty." Zelda said still in disbelief.
"This…this an official pardon from the Vatican for my bombing attempt decades ago!" Ambrose said in shock at the paper he was given.
"Why would your church be so generous when we have been mortal enemies for so long?" Zelda asked in suspicion.
"I cannot speak for his holiness, but I know that yesterday you where servants of the Morningstar, all who serve him are out enemies. Today you fight against him, all who fight against him is an ally. For the enemy of my enemy-"
"Is a friend." Sabrina interrupted the Captain, and after a moment's hesitation the Captain nodded, hesitantly, back at that.
A moment later the sergeant walked up to the captain.
"Sir, there's a situation, we've capture their ring leader, but…he is proving to be difficult to liquidate."
"I see, I must tend to my duties now. I will return soon."
"Why don't we come with you?"
Sabrina added shocking both the witchunters and her friends and coven.
"Y-you wish to give us aide in our hunt?" The Captain asked, still not believing his ears.
"What are friends for? We are friends now, right?" Sabrina said, to which the Captain once more hesitantly gave a nod.
"Spellman, let me just say that this is the most shocking, outrageous, insane, illogical, suicidal thing that I have ever heard in my life. In short I love it! Let's get to work!" Nick said with glee and jumped to join this insanity.
"Harvey?" Sabrina asked her boyfriend.
"Once more unto the breech dear friends, once more." Harvey said with an amused and dismayed shake of the head as put his arms over Sabrina's shoulders, making the witch smile and lean into him.
"Get a room you two!" Roz teased them.
"Mine's available!" Nick offered eagerly.
Harvey felt another coughing fit coming on from dealing with Nick's antics as he, Sabrina, Roz and Nick, along with a hesitant WICA coven followed the 5 hunters deeper into the woods.
Each step they took, they passed groups of other such armored hunters, who saluted the Captain and joined their impromptu march, by the time they reached their destination the coven was held surrounded by an equal number of witchunters.
And despite the WICA witches nerves they curiously directed their gaze towards the reason for their journey.
For there was a group of hunters who with their great hammers hit chisel that where held on the body of someone tied to a tree, and with such force that the half meter thick tree shook from each blow.
And despite the great force used in their endeavor, the chisels didn't even pierce the skin of the target.
"Nothing! We strike with hammer, power axe, chainsword and bolter rounds, yet none pierce the demon's skin!" The Lieutenant said towards the Captain as the group that tried to kill the demon paused from exhaustion.
"Was it as good for you as it was for me?" The man said gloating on the fact that they could not even scratch him, let alone hurt him.
"We will find a way to deal with you soon enough demon!" The Captain threatened.
"Deal with me? I was birthed from the clay of hell itself, what can you possibly do to me?" Caliban the Prince of Hell said to the gathered witchunters and witches that surrounded him as he was tied to a tree.
"I am going to destroy you for putting my family in danger." Sabrina threatened with such force and conviction in her voice that Caliban's smile faltered for a moment.
