Chapter 3: Witch and Warlock

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Glad to see you enjoyed my big surprise last chapter. Now this is where things start moving in my direction including adding some new characters. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

The next morning, Luz and Minato were sitting down for breakfast with Eda.

"Hey Eda you got any Apple Blood?" Luz asks looking in the fridge.

"You mean Apple Juice?" Eda assumes.

"No." Luz said as they sat down to eat.

"So uhm what exactly do you do in the human realm?" Minato asks.

"Well for me, I have to go check in at my store which you two will now be lending a hand at." Eda said getting their attention.

"Wait what?" Luz asks.

"Hey live under my roof, you follow my rules. Besides having a job isn't the worse thing in the world." Eda said.

"I guess." Luz said.

"Look you kids need to blend in, you can't always be flying around on your staffs. Keep your witch sides on the down low and try to be normal teenagers for a little bit." Eda said.

"Well I guess we can try." Minato said eating some food. "Hmm wow this is pretty good."

Looking at it, Luz takes a bite. "Wow these are even better than Griffin Eggs." She admits.

"Well at least you kids enjoy something about this place." Eda shrugs while King just ate his food.


After breakfast, they were riding in Eda's car into the city before coming to a stop at a small shop.

"Owl Lady's Wonder Emporium and Fortune Telling?" Luz read looking at the sign.

"Yep, my little shop of trinkets." Eda smiles exiting the car.

"Why do you call yourself the Owl Lady?" Minato asks.

"Because I'm charming, knowledgeable and…a bringer of death." Eda smirks looking at them.

After seeing her take down that giant eel the other day they definitely believe that last part.

Opening the door, they enter to see tons of odd and interesting objects and trinkets.

Climbing up onto the counter, King lays down on top of it.

"What do you think? I got stuff from all over the world here. Is this something or what?" Eda said.

"Uh…I'm gonna go with or what." Minato said.

"Do you work here all by yourself?" Luz asks.

"Well sort of, I do have a handyman. Hey Soos! You here?!" Eda calls out.

"Oh hey Ms. Clawthrone." Walking out from the back a large chubby man with a hat and black t-shirt walks in.

"Luz, Minato, meet Soos." Eda said.

"Uh hey, I guess we're coworkers." Luz said.

"Nice to meet you. It's nice to see Eda hiring other people mostly it's just me hanging around here." Soos said before gesturing for them to lean in. "By the way, just between us I think Eda's a witch." He whispers.

"Huh?" Both of them said.

"She does psychic readings in the back all the time. She's really good." Soos said.

"Oh uh sure." Minato said.

'Right now, there's only two real witches in this room and Eda is not one of them.' Luz thought.

"Alright folks we open in a half hour, let's get to work." Eda orders. "Come on! Chop! Chop!"

Throughout the day, Luz and Minato stocked shelves, and helped put out merchandise.

"What is all this stuff?" Minato asks grabbing some coat hangers.

"Are these supposed to be earrings?" Luz asks putting them on her ears.

"Uh I don't know, not very stylish." Minato chuckles.

"Yeah I guess not." Luz said taking them off.

"This place is weird but it has some interesting stuff." Minato said when he noticed a book on the floor. "The Good Witch Azura?"

"Wait a minute, we have this book back home." Luz said looking over.

"This is book 5, we only have up to book 4." Minato said.

"Sweet, I've been wanting to read this for like forever." Luz smiles.

Walking to the front, they see Eda was showing off her stuff.

"What do you need? I got it. I got all your necessities and even stuff you didn't even know you wanted. For instance, old type writer? More like instant points with Grandma and Grandpa. Take them down memory lane and they'll get you something you really want." Eda said holding one up.

"I'll take it." A girl said.

"Perfect, that'll be 50 bucks." Eda said and the girl instantly paid it. "The Owl Lady Emporium folks, you always find something you want or need. And for 20 bucks, I'll even do a psychic reading on you."

"Ooh! Ooh! Eda!" Soos raises his hand.

"No Soos, you're cut off." Eda said.

"Aww." Soos frowns before going back to fixing a shelf.

"She is quite the salesman." Luz said impressed.

"Yeah, Eda's an interesting one that's for sure." Minato said as they watched her give someone a fortune. "How can people call this magic?" Minato chuckles.

"I know right, oh man if the Oracle Coven saw this." Luz giggles.

"Hey Minato, Luz I got something I need you kids to do." Eda said getting their attention.

"What you want us to do fortunes?" Luz assumes.

"Here drop this box off at the apartment down the street. You can't miss it." Eda said handing the box to them.

"Uh Eda are you sure that's the best idea?" Minato asks.

"Relax, it's not that far. King!" Eda said waking the cat up. "Lead them to the apartment you know where it is."

"Meow." King yawns before jumping off the counter.

"The cat is going to lead us?" Luz asks not sure about this.


Walking down the street, Luz and Minato were looking at the address with King leading the way.

"Okay so we just have to deliver this package and we can head back." Luz said.

"Uh says here it should be…this one." Minato said looking at the address.

"Meow." King said patting the welcome mat.

"You know when you get used to it, this city isn't so bad." Minato said putting the box down.

"Yeah I'll admit, this place has some interesting things." Luz admits.

However just as they were about to head back, they heard the sound of shots fired startling them.

"What in the?!" Looking to the noise they see a robbery going on at a local convenience store.

Inside multiple people were on the ground in fear while robbers had a gun to the cashier.

"Luz, those people are in danger." Minato said.

"But Eda said we needed to not draw attention to ourselves." Luz said.

"To us, Luz and Minato but we have other ways to help people." Minato hints.

Pausing both ran into an alley.

Making magic circles, Luz and Minato's clothes changed to their witch outfits.

Inside the store, the robber pointed a gun at the cashier.

"Put the money in the bag! Do it quick!" He orders as his other 3 members were scattered around.

On the ground we see a teenage girl with long brown hair looking up in fear.

Needless to say she was terrified about being held hostage.

"Come on get the money in there!" The criminal orders.

As the girl looks to the door she noticed a glyph appear.

"Huh?" Suddenly a shard of ice and a bolt of lightning shot out knocking the guns out of their hands.

"What in the?!" The criminals gasp when Minato and Luz burst in with their staffs.

"That's enough of out of you guys." Luz said.

"What the hell? Is it Comicon or something?" The leader asks.

"I'm only gonna say this once, leave now and we won't hurt you." Minato glares causing them to laugh.

"Who do you two think you are?" One mocks.

Both were about to answer when they remember something Eda called them.

"We're Witch and Warlock." They declared.

"Take them out!" One criminal swing a crowbar while the other swings a bat at them forcing Witch and Warlock to dodge and block with their staffs.

Leaping off the counter, Witch whacks one in the face before creating a light glyph blinding him.

"Aaagh!" As he screams in pain, Witch kicks the criminal sending him crashing into a chip stand.

Nearby the one with the crowbar attacks Warlock but he dodges at the last second causing him to break the fridge holding all the sodas.

Thrusting his hand forward Warlock blasts him with a gale of wind sending him crashing near the front.

"Amazing. Real Witches." The teenage girl gasps.

Near the front door, King peeks in to see the remaining two backing up towards the hostages.

"Don't take another step!" The leader said as they picked up their guns.

Both of them fired but Witch made a wall of ice in front of them to deflect the shots being fired at them.

Popping their heads out bot created fire and lightning blasts forcing them to duck for cover.

"Give up! You can't win!" Witch orders.

"Is that right?" The leader said when they heard a scream.

Looking over they saw one had grabbed the teenage girl and were using her as a hostage.

"Take one more step and she gets it!" The criminal threatens.

Growling Witch stops in her tracks and makes the ice wall disappear.

"Put your weird sticks down right now." The leader orders.

"Please, please don't." The girl begs.

"Hey it's okay. We promise nothing is going to happen to you." Witch said putting her staff down and her hands up.

"You too!" The criminal orders looking at Warlock.

"Alright, hang on." Slowly bending down Warlock was about to put his staff down when he noticed the soda spill was near his feet.

Acting quickly, he uses his water magic causing soda to shoot out and hit the criminal in the eyes.

"Aah! That stings!" He screams as Witch raced in and grabbed the teenage girl pulling her to safety before Warlock blasts them both with a wind attack knocking them all to the front.

Groaning the four criminals looked up to see Witch and Warlock picking up their staffs.

Scrambling they ran as fast as they could to their getaway car.

"Quick drive!" The criminal yells as they floored it.

Looking to each other, Witch and Warlock slam their staffs into the ground and begin to charge up.

As magic began to build up, neither of them noticed King slowly walking towards the magic flowing around.

Examining it curiously, King reached out to touch it but when the cat did it shrieks as the magic envelops him before sending him flying back into the door.

Slamming their hands down, electric coated plants shot out and grabbed the getaway car before it got away.

"You boys aren't going anywhere." Witch said as they dropped the car down in front of the cops.

"You guys can take it from here." Warlock said looking at them.

"Wait, who are you?" The police call out but they had hopped on their staffs and flew off.

As they did, the girl with long brown hair was looking at them in awe.

"Those two were amazing." She said blown away. "Wait until everyone at school hears about this."

Little did she know, Luz and Minato ran over in their civilian wear.

"King? King where are you?" Luz calls out.

"King?" Minato said when they heard a meow.

Looking at the door, they see King on the ground with some magic glowing around him before disappearing.

"Oh no King!" Minato gasps grabbing him.

"Oh man, if you die Eda is gonna kill us!" Luz panics.


Back at the Owl Lady's Emporium, Eda was in the back with a customer doing a fortune.

"Ooh the spirits tell me your future is looking bright." Eda said looking into her crystal ball.

"It does, what does it say?" The man in a suit asks.

"It says you will be very successful but you will misplace something very important." Eda said.

"Oh no, I hope it's not my car keys." He said as Eda walked over.

"I wouldn't stress it too much." Eda said helping him up. "Now why don't you go get ready?"

"Thank you, oh and here you go." The man said opening his wallet to see he was short on bills. "Hmm I thought I brought more money with me."

"It happens. You better have enough to pay me." Eda said.

"Yes, here you go." He said giving her the money.

"Have a nice day." Eda waves goodbye.

Once he walked out Eda chuckles holding out her other hand revealing she took a big chunk of cash from his wallet.

"Look at that. My prediction came true." Eda smiles when Minato and Luz came running in holding King.

"Eda we got a problem!" Luz panics.

"What happened?! What did you two do to King?" Eda gasps.

"We're not sure, we were dealing a bank robbery and as we were casting a spell and we think King got hit with some magic." Luz said.

"Well fix it!" Eda orders.

"We're trying but we don't know what happened." Luz said when they heard a groaning.

"Ugh my head, what happened?" A male voice asks.

"Huh?" Looking around they saw no one else was in the shop.

"Who said that?" Minato asks.

"I did." Pausing all of them look down to see King looking at them. "What? What are you looking at?"

Screaming Minato drops King as all of them stepped back startled.

"King you just talked!" Luz gasps.

"I talked? No way. I really can talk." King said.

"How is this possible?" Eda asks.

"I guess when the magic went into him it gave him the power to speak." Minato guessed.

"This is amazing. Finally no more guessing games. I can order you pathetic humans around and you can actually understand me." King said when they heard the sound of a box drop.

In the corner, Soos was looking at them in shock.

"Uh Soos, we can explain." Minato said.

"Yeah it's all a dream." Luz gulps.

"No way, Eda is that what I think it is?" Soos gasps.

"Uh well Soos you see." Eda said nervously.

"You really are magic! Eda you are the coolest boss ever." Soos smiles.

"Uh yeah, it was me. I am pretty great. And if you don't want me to turn you into a toad you'll keep this a secret." Eda said.

"Yes ma'am." Soos said.

"Good…now have the back room organized by the end of today." Eda orders.

"Seriously? She's milking this?" Luz whispers.

"At least we're not the ones getting busted." Minato cringed.

"You there, get me my squeaky toy at once!" King orders looking at Soos.

"Here you go." Soos said handing King a stuffed bunny.

"Yes! I shall name you Francois and you shall be my minion." King declares. "And Soos you shall be my most powerful guard."

"Yes Mr. King sir!" Soos salutes.

"Finally!" King said climbing up to the top of the shelf. "Now that I can speak I can finally break free from the shackles of pet treatment! Bow to me you pathetic humans! For I am your new rule—"

"Soos broom." Eda orders as Soos hands her the broom.

"Oh no not the broom!" King said as Eda swings at him causing the talking cat to squeal as he ran away.

Almost immediately, Luz and Minato burst into laughter.

Aw he's even cuter now that he can talk." Minato said.

"He thinks he's an actual king."

"I just wanna squeeze that widdle guy." Luz said grabbing King. "Who's a widdle guy? Who's a cute widdle guy?"

"No! I am not your little guy! Eda please make her stop!" King screams trying to break free.

"Sure so long as you submit to being my pet until you die." Eda smirks.

"Never!" King snaps.

"Hey Minato can you get the vacuum cleaner in the closet?" Eda asks.

"No! Not the screaming weapon of death! I submit!" King said.

"That's what I thought." Eda said.

"Wow a talking cat, it's like I'm living in an anime." Soos smiles.

"What's an anime?" Minato asks causing Soos to pause.

"You two don't know what anime is?" Soos asks.

"No, never heard of it." Luz said.

"This will not be accepted! I shall right this wrong!" Soos said pulling them both into his arms.

"Uh oh brace yourself kids, you're gonna be in for a huge marathon." Eda chuckles.

"See ya wouldn't want to be ya." King said.

"By the way, the talking stays between us." Eda said.

"And what if I don't agree?" King asks.

"I'll have you shaved." Eda threatens.

"Uh…meow." King gulps nervously.

"That's what I thought." Eda smirks.


Little did they know at an unknown location some people were watching news footage of Luz and Minato stopping the bank robbery.

"Who are these people?" A female voice asks.

"They appear to be witches." One said as the woman steps out of the shadow to reveal she had long indigo hair and ivory skin. This was Lilith Clawthorne, Eda's sister.

"What should we do about them?" Someone asks.

"Among humans, there are good witches and there are bad witches. Which side are they on?" Lilith glares suspicious.
