Ch 13
It was the morning before the Hare Moon picnic and celebration and Sabrina was helping her aunts with the finishing touches to their Hare Moon festivities. Their house would be where the witches gathered before going to the forest.
"Do you think Harvey will like my dress?" Sabrina asked.
"He'll love it!" Hilda said in reassurance.
"Really cousin, asking if lover boy will love what you wear is like asking a fish if it takes to water." Ambrose teased when a very tired, sweat soaked, panting Agatha slammed the front door open, made a beat line for the fridge and downed more than half a gallon of water before speaking.
"You! Him...AAAA!" Agatha shouted in frustration before going back to drinking her water.
"What happened?" Sabrina asked in concern.
"That damned brother of your witchunter beau, that's what! I've been chasing with an axe for the past week and he always gets away because I tire before he does. So two days ago he shows up at the Academy at five in the morning in order to...to improve MY STAMINA! He's been dragging me to 5 mile runs every morning, then stamina exercises and he even gave me a sports diet list!" Agatha said before downing what was left of that gallon bottle.
She then moved to a nearby mirror to check how she look.
"Oh Satan! I look as unhealthy and as unnatural as super model!" Agatha screamed in frustration.
Which only made Sabrina bite her lip in an attempt to stop her laughter.
"I can't take this anymore! I can't kill him and he helps me fail in killing him! It's driving me to the brink! I...I see my life flashing before my eyes! I'm in a field of alfalfa with my little dog Max! No Ma, not on the alfalfa and then I see my mother from the porch calling me! Mama's calling me home! She's shouting 'Maria! Don't forget your chores, the woods needs a cutting and the goats need a milking! Maria...Wait a minute...my name's not Maria and I never met my mother...I'm not a American southerner, I grew up in Canada in the witch orphanage with Prudence and Dorcas...That's not my life...somebody else's life is flashing before my eyes!" Agatha lamented in tears as he cradled her face in her hands.
"What the heaven was that about!" Agatha screeched out just as the front door opened again and Tommy came inside the room.
"Hey Aggy, you forgot your axe on the jog route. Sorry that I noticed so late and that it took me so long to get it back to you." Tommy said and placed in near the entrance.
At that Agatha screamed, lunged at him, managing to jump on Tommy and straddled him, while grabbing his throat with both hands and squeezing.
"Die!DIE!DIE YOU EVIL MR ROGERS!" was the last thing that Sabrina saw and heard as both Agatha and Tommy tumbled outside and into the woods.
"You know, I don't think that Harvey's family killed the Greendale 13. The witches must have voluntarily committed mass suicide in order to escape from Harvey's ancestors." Ambrose offered.
"They did seam kind of relieved when I fried them up with hellfire." Sabrina said in half doubt, half conviction.
Her confusion was interrupted by a pair of hands putting themselves on her shoulders, acting on instinct Sabrina gave a yelp, then turned and blasted whoever's was behind her straight into the wall and enchanted it so that he would be tied in chains before Sabrina, Ambrose and her Aunts jumped into a kill circle.
Then they saw who it was.
"Oh my Satan! I'm so sorry Harvey, I thought you were a psychotic home intruder trying to strangle me." Sabrina said in horror upon realizing what she did to her boyfriend.
"No! Never apologize for a good kill circle and effective battle combo." Harvey said with a grin as Sabrina undid the spell that bonded him and Harvey immediately went on a smooch attack, dipping Sabrina and smothering her lips, neck and face with kisses.
"That was the most frightening thing I ever saw you do...KISS KISSS KISS! I felt my heart stop from shock and awe!...KISS KISS KISS... You were like an animal, wounded and desperate...KISS KISS KISS...You terrified me, Sabrina!..." Harvey said between kisses before he brought his lips close to Sabrina's ear and whispered: "DO IT AGAIN!"
Which made the young witch blush from embarrassment and pride in herself.
"Shall we tell the coven that you two are indisposed?" Zelda asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Give us minute, please Missus Spellman." Harvey said to her, giving his best puppy dog eyes.
"You have 10, anything less than that would mean that you might need to see a specialist boy."
"AUNTIE!" Sabrina said in outrage as she and Harvey blushed.
20 minutes later the group made its way to the field where they would celebrate the Hare Moon and once they had their picnic setup Harvey made Sabrina a flower crown.
"You knitted flowers? You're such a girl." Sabrina teased with a raised eyebrow.
"I did, in manly way!" Harvey teased back as he put the crown on her head.
"My queen." Harvey added and gave her a noble like kiss on her hand.
"Right, cause only real macho men can do something so girly. Thus says the Queen and her word is law!" Sabrina said and they shared a giggle.
"I'm getting cavities just by being near them." Prudence said in mock disgust, though she did smile at them.
But the smiles didn't last very long, for a panicked Dorcas and Melvin ran back towards the group of witches and mortals and 5 minutes later the Pagans arrived and for now the two groups where sharing a pleasant enough picnic.
Pleasant enough because Sabrina, who had gone to get some pie from the food table, saw how Wednesday looked ready to kill something from how she sent death glares towards the Snake Lady from the Carnival.
At first Sabrina was confused, then she saw how the Snake Lady went up to the mortals in the group, who were chopping some fire wood, and handed a bottle of water and a very inviting smile to Lucas, Harvey's father and Wednesday's husband.
"I'll cut her up and eat her!" Wednesday said grapping a knife just as Snake Lady handed Lucas a towel and used that opportunity to touch his shoulder in a sensual way.
"Missus Addams, you can't just murder her for 'being very, very friendly' with your husband." Sabrina said, trying to stop her.
"I'm an Addams and a certified forensic doctor." Wednesday told them, both where practicing doctors since it meant that they could put their hands in people's organs and get paid and praised for that.
Wednesday was currently Canada's top forensic expert on murder wounds.
"Let me rephrase that 'you shouldn't kill someone for flirting with your man.'" Sabrina said, trying to placate her.
"Are you sure about that?" Wednesday said and gestured to where the Snake Lady was now and saw that she went over to one of the fires where Harvey was making pancakes for the group. The Snake Lady asked for one and Harvey was serving it up on a plate, but the Snake Lady bent over his shoulder to get it in a way that her chest brushed against his back.
At that Sabrina saw red and she all but took the knife from Wednesday, who was more than happy to give it to her.
"Aunt Hilda, do you remember that time when you wanted to teach me your famous heart meat stew but we didn't the necessary ingredients?" Sabrina said as the plates from the table in front of her started vibrating, only for Zelda to stop that with a wave of her hand.
"You know I had my doubts about him, but it turns out that Mr Kinkle over there brings out the best in our niece." Zelda whispered to Hilda who smirked along with her sister and so did Wednesday, pleased at the complements directed at her son as she joined the coven of women in their plot.
As the day went on and murder was being plotted. Agatha was making her way towards the celebration grounds, she having given up on murdering Tommy today, despite his constant cheering of her on to continue, when she was beset by Pan.
The disguised pagan God looked at her in the eyes...and nothing happened.
"What? You should have been driven insane by mu gaze!" Pan said in shock.
"Insane? By your gaze? HA!" Agatha gave out a maddened laugh.
"You think you're googgly eyeballs on me is maddening? Maddening is making an entire mountain collapse on a guy's head, who not only survives it, but when he's dug out he says 5 more minutes! Maddening is not sleeping for days at an end while you wait for that man to come for retribution and at the end of it he instead of acting normal and demanding vengeance he asks you out! And when you try to poison his tea, he somehow survives and then declares that he wants to stay friends since I'm apparently to much of a fox for him!" Agatha said with a crazed look in her eyes directed at Pan.
This actually made the god in disguise gulp.
"Mad is when no matter how much you try to kill, maim, torture him the man in question still somehow survives with barely a scratch! Mad is when he actually thinks that you hate him when I strop trying to kill the bastard!" Agatha, still with a crazed look in her eyes, took a step forward towards Pan, who took a step back.
"And you come here and have the nerve to say that a look into your beady little eyes is enough to make me go mad!? I've lived through a thousand failed assassinations attempts that could have driven me mad long ago. Your screwballs are not even on the list! You think you know crazy? I'LL SHOW YOU CRAZY!" Agatha said and started laughing manically, snapping at last, then she summoned an axe and started chasing Pan through the forest.
"That's right boy! You better run boy! YOU BETTER RUN HARD!" Agatha said in a banshee like voice as she raised her axe high while chasing after Pan.
"She is gonna make a man very lucky one day." Tommy commented as he reached the Hare Moon group, as they heard Agatha's blood curdling screeches through the forest.
"Should we be concerned of that?" Harvey asked Sabrina as he laid next to her as they gazed up and the rising moon.
"When Agatha's involved you can't tell when she's up to no good or it's just her usual self." Sabrina said and cuddled, possessively, into Harvey and sending a few death glares to the Snake Lady, who replied with her eyes 'bring it on child'.
"Here, better?" Harvey said and placed his jacked over Sabrina, thinking that her cuddling was from the chilly weather.
"Yes." Sabrina said, forgetting her dark urges from Harvey's kind gesture as the two continued to look at the moon.
"It's so big and beautiful and so close, it's like the moon is close enough for us to touch it." Harvey whispered in her ear.
"Yeah...wait...is it me or is the moon getting closer?" Sabrina asked in confusion as the moon, or rather something that was lit up like it was getting bigger and closer to them.
"Wait, what day is it?" Harvey asked.
"13th." Sabrina replied.
"Oops, looks like I forgot to about it. HIT THE DIRT! FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Harvey said and pushed himself and Sabrina to the ground and they both instinctly ducked as the moon like object flew over the panicked and ducking group and crashed into the ground near their picnic site.
And from the smoldering crater a man emerged.
"A new record!GIAH HO HO!" The very pale, very fat man in a trench coat said with a joyous laugh.
"Great Uncle Fester!"
"Great Uncle Fester!"
Harvey and Tommy exclaimed and ran towards their relative.
