Chapter 2- The Magic Bowl's Image
"Oh bloody hell, Charity is in the house now!" Tabitha exclaimed.
"Tabitha? Tabs, is that you?" Charity asked.
"Tabitha, quick! Zap her somewhere! She knows your secret too so you need to help me!" I exclaimed.
"Endora and I can't just use our magic when we please! I tried to warn you that Endora was just a child before Charity was sent here," Tabitha replied.
"You have a little sidekick again huh Tabitha? Ever since Timmy dies you weren't the same," Charity stated.
"Endora is not my sidekick, she's my DAUGHTER," Tabitha said to Charity.
"Wow, I've really missed a lot while I've been gone," Charity stated.
The worst possible thing occurred after that moment. Fox called me on his phone at work.
"Hello?" I said.
"Kay, how come you're not at the office? I found some papers you had left me at work and the secretary said that you just ran out of the office earlier. Is everything fine?" Fox asked.
"Yeah, I just had an old friend come visit me and I needed to help her do something so I had to leave. I promise I'll be back later ok?"
"Ok, I hope everything works out for the best"
"Oh, it will Fox. Bye sweetie," I said while hanging up my cell phone.
"Fox? Fox Crane?" Charity questioned.
"Yeah, that was him, but too bad you won't be around long enough to say hello," I replied.
"So, you're with Fox now Kay?" Charity asked.
"Yeah, what's it to you? You can run back to your Miguel now," I said angrily.
"You know on second thought, I'm not going to tell your dad what you did"
"Really…. Why?"
"Because I see now you have given up on Miguel and moved on with your life so I should too. I'm sorry for getting so mad at you for causing me pain by trying to steal Miguel away from me"
"Are you serious? Ten seconds ago it was like all hell broke loose"
"I just realized about how I should have a change of heart. Can we go back to the office though because I think I left my cell phone in there?"
"Um… sure…" I replied hesitantly as we left the house.
"If I didn't know any better Endora, I'd say that girl was up to something. Charity was so determined to making Kay's life miserable and then suddenly had some change of heart after she learned Fox and Kay were together. Well, it's a good thing we're witches Endora so we can look into my bowl and see what's really going to happen!" Tabitha said to Endora and gazed into the magic bowl. "Oh dear. Charity's up to something alright. I've got to warn the girl to get out of the office before this comes true and she loses Fox forever!"
"Are you sure you left your phone in my office? I don't remember seeing is when we were talking earlier," I stated to Charity.
"I'm pretty sure I did because I checked my purse and it wasn't in there. Let's start looking," Charity replied.
I opened the door to my office, and the door to the beginning of my pain and agony. Just as I opened the door, my cell phone began to ring. I closed the door behind me and Charity.
"Hello?"
"Kay! You have to get your cousin Charity out of there now!" Tabitha exclaimed.
"Tabitha, what are you talking about?"
"Listen, there isn't much time! I saw in my bowl your cousin Charity and Fox kissing! She isn't what she seems with this change of heart business. You must get her out of there before she and Fox can talk!"
"That's crazy Tabitha. Fox loves me and whatever you saw in that silly bowl of yours is wrong. Fox isn't even in the office," I clarified.
"I know what I saw and I know the kiss isn't going to happen right now but if Fox knows Charity is back, then it will come true!"
"Look Tabitha, I have to go. I'll be back over tonight," I said while haning up the phone.
"Kay? Oh dear, that girl won't believe me Endora but I know what we saw in that bowl. She's just going to have to learn the hard way her sweet cousin Charity isn't so nice!"
"Who was that Kay?" Charity asked.
"Tabitha trying to tell me some crazy thing she saw in her bowl," I replied.
"Oh, well, I still can't find my phone. I know you need to get back to Fox's office and work," Charity said rather cunningly.
"Fox and I share this office. I really need to start working again though so if I find your phone I'll call," I said while sorting out some papers on Fox's desk.
"This isn't how I imagined this! Fox should be in here so I can start ruining Kay's life!" Charity said to herself.
Charity wasn't going to be disappointed because right after she said that to herself, Fox came through the office door.
"Charity?" Fox said in a shocked tone.
"Fox! Oh, I haven't seen you in forever!" Charity told him while wrapping her arms around him.
"Is this the old friend you were telling me about hunny?" Fox questioned.
"Oh, yeah! I… wanted it to be a surprise. Surprise!" I said lyingly.
"So, what are you doing here Charity? Weren't you out, you know, uh… doing whatever it was and uh… Miguel went looking for you?" Fox asked.
"Oh, well I realized that my home is and always will be Harmony so I had to return," Charity explained.
"Oh give me a break! You came back to ruin my life, but now you say you don't want to," I said to myself.
"What Kay?" Fox asked.
"Oh, I was just saying how um.. It was so great my cousin was finally back!" I replied.
"Didn't you two used to uh, not get along Kay? I mean, I know you told me you used to hate her so much because Miguel liked her more than you and you guys are getting along so great now. It's really beautiful that after everything, you guys are still cool like this," Fox said as he looked at us both smiling.
"You know what they say, blood is thicker than water," Charity said and smiled at Fox.
'Fox, I have those papers that I was going to give you earlier right here," I said to make Fox's attention draw away from Charity.
"Well, let me have a look," Fox said and examined them carefully.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be too much work. We should be able to finish it quickly," I stated to Fox.
"Fox, hey! I was sort of hoping you know, that we could have a little time to catch up, if that's alright with you?" Charity asked.
"That sounds like a great idea, but I have to finish this work you know," Fox replied.
"Please! Kay said herself that it shouldn't take too long. I think she can handle it on her own and besides, she did skip some work earlier," Charity replied.
"Well, you do have a point. Kay, you can handle this right? It shouldn't take too long," Fox asked.
"Well, yeah bu.."
"Thanks! You're the best Kay!" Fox said to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and left with Charity.
"Damnit! I think Tabitha was right! Charity seemed a little too nice around Foox and I could have sworn I saw her phone in her purse. I bet she used that as an excuse to talk to Fox and come back here to do so! Oh my gosh, what is she tells Fox my secret while she has him away from me! I have to go keep an eye on them!" I exclaimed as I was leaving me office and heading towards the elevator.
Coming: Kay needs Tabitha's help more than ever to keep Charity from telling Fox her secret! Will Tabitha's magic and Kay's cunning skills be enough to save her relationship with Fox at The Seascape?
