Ch 11.
"Relax Brina, it will be okay." Harvey whispered to her as they stood before the Addams Family house in Central Park.
"I just want them to like me!" Sabrina said as she did a few breathing exercises, while behind her Zelda, Hilda, Ambrose rolled their eyes, while Wednesday and Lucas shared a look as a sense of Deja vu washed over them at recalling their own past.
"They'll love you Brina. This is gonna be a wonderful night." Harvey said to her in comfort.
"Then question is why did you invite me to tag along?" Nick said in anger from behind them as he took a sip from a whisky flask.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me you weren't planning on crashing this party." Sabrina said to her ex-boyfriend and the guy did a roll of the eyes that confirmed it.
Tommy moved to knock on the door, but it opened before he could do it and from it a giant pale faced zombie emerged.
"Uggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh."
"Hey Lurch!" Tommy said and hugged the old abomination as Lurch did a smile and hugged back before repeating the process with all the blood relatives and married into members of the Addams clan.
"Lurch this is Sabrina."
"Uggggghhhhhhhhhhh."
"Hey, hey, once is okay, but don't call her pretty too often you Casanova! She's taken!" Harvey said in mock outrage as Sabrina and everyone, even sower Nick, shared a giggle at that.
Once inside Sabrina noticed that there was quite a high number of people in this musty old house.
"I thought you said that it was just a family party." Sabrina whispered to Harvey.
"It is, but in our family it means every member, including the honorary ones. I got a lot of cousins and uncles that aren't really that, but they showed up one day and bing, bang, boom they're an Addams for life." Harvey whispered back.
"So this is the girl of the hour!" "Oh what a lovely young lady."
Sabrina turned to the direction of from where the two new voices came and almost took a step back from surprise. Before her where a pair of twin older women who were also Siamese twins.
"Fora, Fauna, what a delight!" Her Aunt Zelda said and rushed in front of her, saving Sabrina and exchanging cheek kisses, so did Aunt Hilda.
"Zelda." "Hilda!" "It's been so long since we last met!" "Why our last swarey was that little night in Chicago when we really lit up the town."
"Are you talking about the Great Chicago Fire?" Sabrina asked.
"Who do you think started it." Flora said and they all shared a giggle and Sabrina looked with her mouth agape at her aunt upon hearing about her wild youth.
"And who is this?" "Yes, introduce us to you friend?" Flora and Fauna said.
"Oh, this is Dr Cerberus, my boyfriend." Hilda said with pride.
"A doctor! What kind? Physician, scholar?" "Psychotic?"
"Well, I did dabble in demonology and horror entertainment back in the day, but it left me becoming a succubus." Dr Cerberus said with embarrassment for his wild youth.
"Oh my!" "You girls must tell us your secrets that you managed to find such partners."
"So, you ladies want to know how we caught them in our nets." Sabrina said, bragging to Flora and Fauna.
"Yes, what bate did you use?" "Was it dead or live?" the twins asked in earnest, surprising Sabrina.
"Do they really think that me and Aunt Hilda caught you and Dr Cerberus in hunting traps?" Sabrina whispered to Harvey.
"Well, that was how their mom snatched their dad." Harvey whispered back in complete seriousness.
That made Sabrina do a double take, before she let out a giggle of amusement.
Thankfully Zelda took the lead and Flora and Fauna where drawn into the conversation with her, leaving Harvey and Sabrina free to mingle.
It was at that moment that Harvey and Sabrina where approached by a very tall, blonde, skinny, blond young man.
"Hello there, my name is Fred and the words you hear are in my head. I said hello there my name is Fred and the words you hear are in my head." The man said without moving his lips, which either made him a psychic or a very good ventriloquist. He extended his hand and shook Sabrina and then Harvey's hand.
"Cousin Fred! Sabrina this my cousin Fred, he's a barber, a freaky barber, with his own freaky barbershop where freaky things happen!" Harvey said playfully.
"So he's an everyday barber in Los Angeles?" Sabrina said which made both Harvey and Fred giggle.
"What a joy you are, such a delight! When I heard Harvey was involved I had a fright. But you've put my fears to rest. You and he together, I can tell are tell you are the best. Oh, you and me and Tommy as three, should we add our D'Artagnan with her for our little boy band see?" Fred asked without moving his lips.
"You were in boy band?" Sabrina asked Harvey.
"Nah, we were just a trio that got into a lot of trouble in the summer as kids. We just called ourselves 'Bad News' after we discovered the Backstreet Boys." Harvey replied.
"Oh our little groups, Bad News was named, me , Tommy and Harvey where little scamps, wild and untamed." Fred said and showed Sabrina an old picture of Harvey, Tommy and Fred dressed as cowboys and Indians.
"Until one evening, oh what a shame, we all became a bit...NAUGHTY!" Fred Showed another photo of them where they all had cut each other's hair and where not half trimmed half bald and proudly held each other's hair as scalps in their hands.
Sabrina doubled over from laughter at that and Harvey covered his head in shame, though he was too amused by it to truly be ashamed.
"Ta ta then, bon voyage, adieu. You must mingle and I go too. Excuse me miss but where is the lou, for I'm feeling a little naughty." Fred said as he turned from the couple and picked up a red haired girl that blushed and let Fred take the lead.
"That Casanova!" Sabrina said in amusement as Harvey lead her away to meet more Addams family members.
As they did so Sabrina met all kinds of cousins, both actual cousins and honorary ones of Harveys.
They all looked like they were the hardcore fans of the Cure and Him, but besides their rather macabre outfits they all were friendly, enthusiastic and so full of life and stress free. Harvey's entire family creed seemed to be yourself and we accept you as you are.
From beautiful people that looked like they belonged as movie stars to ugly and deformed all interacted without discomfort, prejudice or hesitation.
It felt like, like, like it was the real life ideal of what the Church of Night claimed it was. But here it really worked.
"Glad to see your enjoying yourself." A voice said from behind her, turning towards it Sabrina covered her mouth from shock.
"Madam are you okay? You're so sickly pale that you look like your one foot away from the grave!" Sabrina said before she could stop herself.
"Oh my what a charmer you are! I like you already." The pale woman said, blushing from the complement, in that moment a bat flew to her, sucked the blood from her cheeks until the woman was pale again and then flew away.
"Sabrina, meet my grandmother Morticia Addams. Grandma, this is Sabrina." Harvey introduced them.
"A pleasure to meet you madam."
"Likewise, I used to always worry about Harvey, comes with him being my youngest grandson so far and then I heard who he was dating and when I heard what you did to the 'Judas boys' well, I was shocked into silence." Morticia said making Sabrina's breath stop from shock, this was it, this was when Harvey's family would disapprove of her.
"From just how relieved I was that he found such a good woman." Morticia said surprising Sabrina, who visibly let out a breath of relief and upon getting a better look at the older woman Sabrina realized that she intentionally formed her sentence in a way to mess with her.
"You're a bit of a troll, aren't you Missus Addams." Sabrina teased lightly.
"Yes! On my dearest Papa's side! You have a good eye my dear, why we need to invite you to our Addams Ladies cocktail parties. How's your next month's schedule? Morticia said in delight.
"The Addams Ladies parties?" Harvey said with a raised eyebrow.
"Why not, I have a feeling she'll be practically family one day." Morticia teased the young couple who blushed.
At that moment a blare of trumpets was heard and from a parting sea of Addams family members, and other body parts, there came an older man with a dashing mustache and dressed in a striped suit.
"Mortal enemies, bitter rivals, hated foes and other such merry friends and family, we have gathered here today for our annual family reunion and for two special occasions.
In is this year that the youngest clan member, my grandson Harvey has reached his 16th birthday, taking his steps into adulthood and for the third special event is that he brought a very special lady that has stolen his heart, and hopefully hidden it where the FBI won't find it, for us to meet." Gomez Addams introduced Sabrina to the gathered crowd, who applauded.
" Myself and my darling wife Morticia have observed her this very night, so far she met many Addams members and still has all her fingers, which is a good sign, right carra mia?"
"Oui mon cher."
"Tish that's french! KISS, KISS, KISS...speak some more! KISS, KISS, KISS!"
"Gomez, party now, private party latter." Morticia said and the enamored Latino man somehow managed to reign his passion in.
"You weren't kidding when you said that it was from your grandparents." Sabrina teasingly whispered in Harvey's ear, who smiled in return.
"Tonight, for our honored guest Sabrina Spellman we bring about our most sacred tradition, the Mamushka! Taught to us by our Cossack cousins whom they learned from ancient times from their Hunic forefathers, the Mamushka has been an Addams tradition for so long that not even our patron Michael remembers when it first came forth! We danced the Mamushka when the walls of Troy fell, we danced the Mamushka when Berlin fell too, we danced the Mamushka for Mark Zuckenberg and now Sabrina Spellman we dance the Mamushka for you." Gomez said and then grabbed Sabrina's hand and Harvey's hand and pushed their hands together.
The Addams patriarch gestured with his eyes for Harvey to do the Mamushka now that he was soon to be a man grown. This surprised Harvey, but not by much.
Sink and drown was always the preferred Addams way of teaching their youth about adulthood.
So Harvey turned to the woman he loved.
"I'll show you the moves and we then synchronize, it's not a dance where one leads and another follows, but two go hand in hand. " Harvey whispered and Sabrina nodded as they started moving in circles around each other as violins, tambourines and flutes started the tune.
Harvey then showed her the skip, knee slap and clap with your partner basic and Sabrina immediately caught onto the move set, then they grabbed each other's hand and Harvey did the familiar tango move where one partner kneels down and the other moves the legs over the head.
Sabrina did so and then stopped with her backside to Harvey's face and instinctly the two where now synchronized enough for Harvey to flip her in the air.
Instinct took her over and Sabrina used her magic, and not the Dark Lady magic from Satan, to float high into the air, do a pirouette and then gracefully float several feet away from Harvey and gave him an impish naughty grin.
Harvey then smiled back and then held his hand out and caught a tossed knife in it, he then tossed it to a surprised Sabrina, who caught on quickly and catched the knife, then a second one.
Imitating Harvey's moves, Sabrina and Harvey made sparks by rubbing their knives as they approached each other and made sparks fly between them by gently clashing their knives against each other's.
Getting into the grooves of things Sabrina started a juggling part of knives between the two and then really getting into things she took the lead and instead of juggling, she started keeping knives until they all where hers now. She felt so alive in that moment, all her life she felt torned between mortal and which, but now both sides where working tandem and in harmony.
Harvey gave her a raised eyebrow and Sabrina replied with an evil grin that promised satisfaction.
Now fully comfortable with both her wild and calm side and in perfect peace in her heart and fully immersed in the dance, Sabrina summoned rope with magic and tied the knife two by two from the hilt she threw one pair at Harvey, that caught his legs and tied them up.
Harvey gave her a puppy like love-struck look that made her knees ready to buckle under, barely managing to recover she then threw the other pair of knives that tied themselves around his torso, Harvey was now her own to do as she pleased, trapped in her grip, unable to escape, which was how he wanted it to be.
Sabrina, now feeling lust awaken inside her, used her mortal side to do several forward back flips and land right in front of Harvey as the Addams clan cheered her on.
"Mamushka! Mamushka! Mushka, mushka, mushka, mushka!" Sabrina sang as, in a Spanish flamenco dance tap step she twirled around Harvey as bot her and Harvey kept their eyes on each other, filled with desire for the other.
Sabrina stopped until they were face to face and then the music stopped as the whole party looked at them with anticipation in her eyes as silence reigned and they all shivered in anticipation.
"Mon amour." Harvey whispered to her.
"Oh Harvey, FRENCH!" Sabrina said, grabbed his jacket, dipped him and gave him a deep kiss.
"MAMUSHKA!" The Addams clan shouted in joy and clapped at the sight that showed that Sabrina was now one of them and they accepted her fully.
Such a wondrous sight, such a wondrous night.
And that very moment the doors to the mansion where thrown open, making Harvey and Sabrina interrupt their kiss as through the doors walked in an unknown figure.
But it was one that Eudora Addams, commonly known as Grandmamma Addams, quickly stepped front and center and stood in the way of this new stranger and gave him the meanest glare she ever gave anyone in her life.
"You are not welcome here Satan!" Grandmamma said, shocking those present, for Satan was now in human form.
