CHAPTER 9: THE WITCHES VERSUS THE HEROES

Once Louisa and her friends had found out about the witches' father, they felt that it would be enough to tick the witches off and to get the witches to leave them alone. The witches, however, knew that Louisa had some information. They had a new plan for the gang themselves. Winifred, being as clever as she is found that Louisa was a witch herself. A Cromwell witch. Winifred hated the Cromwells a lot and knew that there was a new generation around. Winifred intended to ask Louisa who the new generation was.

The witches had left the door open to their house knowing that Louisa was about to come inside with the information they supposedly never knew. Louisa went inside and saw the witches all sitting in a small circle around their cauldron. They appeared not to be brewing anything, but that was contrary to Louisa's beliefs. The witches were all preparing to make Louisa admit to being a Cromwell.

Thackary and the other four watched as Louisa went up to Winifred and showed her exactly what was written in the article Louisa had printed out:

The rest of the article was blotted out by the rain that had just started outside. Winifred looked up at Louisa with hatred, and said:

"Thou art not a clever girl, Louisa CROMWELL. Thou art just a lowly witch who has no guts to face a Sanderson sister with wits. You need to learn that a measley piece of paper never solves a problem. What does solve a problem, however, is joining forces with the rest of thy Cromwell clan in Halloweentown. So thou shall go!"

Thackary's head reeled at the realization that his sister was not even related to him at all. Louisa Binx was actually Louisa Cromwell. What will Louisa do now that her secret was out?

A/N: What will Louisa do? Can you help me think of some ideas? R & R, please.
