Chapter 1

No Crime and Punishment

Sabrina's Bedroom

10 P.M

Sabrina's eyes are shut. She sings along to up-beat music that plays on her beloved Walkman. Some hours ago, Salem had sent the young 12-year-old to bed. For the next few days, it was just her and Salem: Uncle Quigley moved to Europe in the comics; Aunt Hilda and Zelda left for some unexplained reasons during the morning.

Sabrina dances on her bed and sings along to the tunes. She hears a muffled voice and pauses the music. The young half-witch opens her eyes and drops her Walkman to the ground.

"Young lady, I told you that it's bedtime!" Salem glares at her; he crosses his arms and glares at her.

"Will you relax, Salem?!" she pleads with him to calm down. "You don't know what it's like to be fun?"

"Listen, I'm in charge" he explains. "Come on, it's 10 at night!"

Salem leaves the room and slams the door shut. Unfortunately, the 12-year-old doesn't take his warning seriously. She hops onto her PC and checks the internet. Since this is 1999, the internet takes FOREVER to load. After 5 minutes, it finally does.

"Alright, let's check out the reviews for Blaire The Witch" Sabrina scrolls through the online reviews: "Terrifying! Can't believe it's real! The R rating isn't kidding; don't take your kids. Well, fortunately for me, Chloe's mom is accompanying us tomorrow night!"

Aunt Hilda and Zelda didn't want her to watch Blaire The Witch; they find its portrayal of witches to be offensive. Fortunately, Chloe's mom appeared as a godsend.

Suddenly, the PC switches off. The young girl jumps up in her head and bends down to check the CPU. She presses the On-button but nothing's working. Sabrina turns around. A pissed-off Salem twirls the PC's electric plug in his paw.

"Salem, I'm s-" she pleads but it's too lat-

"OWWW!" she yells as Salem twists her ear.

"Alright, I've had enough!" he gives his ultimatum. "I know you and Chloe had some unexplained plans. But you're grounded for a week!"

The young girl gapes and stares in shock. "What...OW...are you serious?! We've planned this for weeks!"

"Come on. Whatever you planned can't be that time-sensitive!" he explains.

"YOW! Please don't ground me, Salem! I'm sorry!" she begs as her ear hurts more.

"If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime!" he orders. "Young lady, I want your butt in bed this instant!"

"Can you please change your mind?! I'll be the lamest kid at school if I don't go with Chloe tomorrow night!"

"Sabrina, I'm not in the mood for negotiating. I've been instructed to not reveal why. Now go to bed!"

"Salem, please! My entire life depends on this!" she begs him.

"Get in bed or I'll ground you for another week!"

Greendale Middle School: Cafeteria

8 A.M

Sabrina sits across Chloe at the lunch table. She has a saddened expression on her face.

"Sab, you should've listened to him" she scolds her. "Anyways, your aunts found the film offensive. So maybe you shouldn't have been watching it with my mom and I anyway"

"But, everybody has watched Blaire The Witch!" Sabrina explains. "It's based on a real story. Now I have to watch it!"

"I don't know, Sabrina. It doesn't sound like a real story" Chloe doubts, ironically. "It sounds fake. Of all people, you should know that!"

"Aunt Hilda and Zelda won't tell me if it's a real story" Sabrina explains. "They must be hiding something!"

"They might" Chloe now agrees. "Can you do some research on whether Blaire The Witch is a real story?"

"They have several witchcraft books. But none are in English" Sabrina explains, which confuses Chloe.

"Seriously. Your spells end in English rhymes, but the books themselves aren't in English"

"Listen, Chloe. Blaire The Witch could be real, but I have to check it out first!" Sabrina comments.

"But, how will you watch the film?" a concerned Chloe asks.

"Ugh, I can't think!" Sabrina pulls at her hair. "Ugh, everybody at school has seen the film! They say it's a real story and that's why everybody's watching it!"

"Right...there's that one kid who didn't watch Blaire The Witch; Gem made fun of him"

"Exactly, Gem's gonna make me the laughing stock of the school if I don't watch this film!" Sabrina falsely believes.

Both pre-teens brainstorm for a couple minutes. Suddenly, there's a eureka:

"I got it!" Sabrina snaps her finger. "As always, magic will help!"

[Authors Note: Sorry if anything from 1999 is inaccurate. My mom got pregnant with me in 1999, so any references I make about 1999 aren't based on first-hand experiences. I don't know if online reviews existed back then; I couldn't find any information on that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the last of my Sabrina fanfiction trilogy! I've wanted to write this story for 4 months, but I was busy with finishing other stories. So here I am, finally writing it! Updates coming soon!]
