On the morning of that day, my dad was passed out at the table, with a cup of coffee next to him. He only woke up when the microwave went off, jumping into my mother's arms. "Ahh!" He screamed out as he landed in her arms. "Jake, what's wrong?" My mom asked him. "Yeah dad, you're kind of jumpy." I told him as I ate a waffle.

"Jumpy? What makes you think that?" My dad asked. I just pointed at him being in my mom's arms, showing evidence. "Touche." My dad said as he got back on his feet. "Dad? Why are so afraid? You're usually the one who's calm." I said, wondering what caused him to be panicking.

"Well, I had a vision. And so did Zelda. It was about Tim the Witchsmeller." My dad said. "Who?" My mom and I asked. As far as we were concerned, my dad never told us anything about Tim. "Tim the Witchsmeller. He hunts down witches and warlocks for his own private trophy collection. And the Spellman and us can be next!" My dad explained to us.

"What's this guy got against us?" I asked. "Better to show you." My dad said, grabbing a egg, a spoonful of milk and sugar and spice. "Egg from a chicken. Milk from a cow. Sugar and spice." He said, before putting the glowing ball of magic into the microwave. "Show us the past now." He said, as we were shown Tim's past.

He looked like Ron Weasley from the first two Harry Potters films, only with brown hair, black beady eyes and medieval clothing. "So, that's him? From the way you talk about him, I imagine him being threatening." I said. "Just see why." My dad said.

As we continued seeing, I found out that Tim was born a Squib: Aka a person who has no magical powers despite being born into a magical family. That makes him on the same level as a mortal. He was bullied by witches and warlocks because of that fact.

"Knock it off. Or you'll be sorry." Tim threatened them, sounding like an adult already. Guess puberty hit him at that point. "What are you gonna do? Not cast a spell on us?" The witch mockingly asked him before laughing at him, as did everyone else at that moment.

"You know, excluding present company, witches and warlocks are kind of jerks." My mom pointed out. "Actually, I agree. It's a good thing that Enchantra has been trying to crack down on it." My dad said, with a smirk to my mom. The perfect couple, folks. "Ahem, back to watching the drama fest." I said, with popcorn in my hands.

The only one who remained by Tim's side was an aardvark named Elton, Tim left the Netherworld to plan his revenge on the witches and warlocks. He soon decided the best way to defeat magic is with science. Because of course that totally made sense! He even was a apprentice to Leonardo Da Vinci. How does that make sense?

Anyways, Tim modified Da Vinci's inventions just for his own twisted revenge. Eventually, he test it out on three witches, redirecting their spells at them and turning them to stone. And that's what he did to every witch and warlock he encountered over the centuries as he advanced in technology, all the way to present day. More like a witch-snorter ain't I right? I'm here all week folks.

"Well, what does he have against those who did nothing to him?" I asked, shocking my parents. "What do you mean?" My dad asked. "I mean, why is he going after witches and warlocks who did nothing wrong to him? Is he just hunting us down just because of him grouping us together?" I asked.

"I think we should have Sabrina's Great-Uncle Quigley teach you some more morals from now on." My mom said. "Yeah. However, I think Sabrina might be thinking that Tim isn't that much of a threat to us. I'm just gonna check up on her, just to make sure she doesn't do that." I said as I ran to her house, which is two blocks away from her house.

I got to the porch and knocked on the front door while panting heavily. "Man, I think I've been forgetting some of those training lessons." I said as Sabrina opened the door. "Oh, hey Aaron. Wanna come in?" Sabrina asked me. "Sure." I told her as I walked in. In the living room, I would be surprised to see Harvey sitting on Sabrina's couch, watching something on T.V., but I gotten used to it by now.

Plus, I had told Harvey about my secret, that I am half-warlock, though not tell him about Sabrina being magic. I'm letting her have that moment. As the rules of magic states, we are allowed to tell a mortal our secret, as long as they keep that secret.

And while Harvey may be a klutz, at least I know he can keep a secret. Though as a precaution, I did a 'Wild Thornberry Movie' move and told him a 'lie' about what would happened if he doesn't keep the secret. I said 'lie' because I don't know if what will happen is true or not, I don't make the rules.

"Hey, Aaron." Harvey said to me as he turned his head a bit. "Hey Harv." I said as I sat down next to him, as Sabrina sat next to his other side. I saw a guy got a bucket full of mud on his head. "Say cheese! You're on America's Cruelest Practical Jokes. And watch your back a little America. You may never know when we're coming to your town!" The host said before the T.V. was turned off.

"What was that?" I asked, not getting the joke. "The guy's a mud head. Classic. Adults are so gullible. I heard when we're born, we have all our brain cells. We lose them as we get older, so we're never really getting smarter, only dumber." Harvey said.

"Then how do you explain America's Home Funniest Videos? Or Disney? Or even our parents?" I asked him. "That sure explains my aunts." Sabrina said. "The heck, Sabrina?" I asked her, as Harvey and Sabrina gave me a shrug.

"The secret to that show is to not act surprised when they spring the weird stuff on you. Don't freak and you won't look like a doofus." Harvey explained to us as he went through the box of magic stuff. "But that takes away the joke." I pointed out, remembering how America's Home Funniest Videos works.

"A pocket funhouse mirror? You guys always have the coolest junk." Harvey said as the effect of the mirror made his head look kooky. "Um, Harvey, how about you give Sabrina that?" I suggested as Sabrina took the mirror while I fixed Harvey's head. Yeah, he may know I magical, but he doesn't know when he is affected by magic or when I use it.

"Check it out!" He said as he grabbed a amulet with a blue jewel in the center of it. "Wow! Cool!" Harvey said, admiring it. "That's your dad's Soul Gem Amulet. It holds a little of magical essence from every witch and warlock that has ever worn it." Salem told Sabrina, who gasped.

"Is it me?" Harvey asked. "Too retro. Besides, it belongs to my dad and he has a hands off rule when it comes to his stuff." Sabrina told Harvey as she put the amulet back in the chest. "Yeah, too retro." I agreed as Sabrina, Salem and I walked out of the room, leaving Harvey in there, so we can figure out what smell so bad.

"Uncle Quigley, what smell so bad?" Sabrina asked her mortal great-uncle from her mother side. He just indicated to Hilda and Zelda, who was putting on some kind of dark-green sludge. "Camouflage." Zelda said. "When does a witch not smell like a witch?" Hilda asked Zelda rhetorically.

"When she smell like a dumpster." Sabrina said, pinching her nose. "My guess was trash dump on a summer day." I said, covering my face with my hat, just as my parents came via teleportation by magic because of my dad.

"Exactly! This is our own recipe of garlic, rotten eggs, sardines and stinky cheese." Hilda explained. "Now Tim will never come near us." Zelda said. "He's not the only one." Sabrina said. "Isn't this a bit excessive?" I asked, not trying to gag and failing.

"Um, no time for lunch. Gotta go." Harvey said as he was leaving. "Huh?" Sabrina asked. "Wait, lunch?" I asked her. "Yeah, I invited him" She said. "Oh." I said, nodding my head in understandment. At least Sabrina isn't asking me to invite Harvey to her house this time.

"Oh my. Harvey left his backpack. That boy would forget his feet if they weren't attached to his ankles." Quigley told us. "We can still catch him. Come on Aaron." Sabrina said as we ran after Harvey.

After a while, we were saying Harvey's name, trying to find him so we can give him back his backpack. "Harvey? Harvey?" Sabrina and I called out for him, only for me to point him out to Sabrina. "Holy goo, Sabrina! Harvey been caught by Tim's sludge!" I said, as we saw Harvey in the back of Tim's vehicle, which flew off.

"Oh no! He's been Harvey-napped!" Sabrina said. "But he's still awake." I joked, only for her to glare at me. "Okay, I know it was stupid. Trying to find humor in this." I said as we ran back to her house.

We burst into the living room, where everyone else was at. "You were right!" Sabrina exclaimed as we walked in front of the adults. "See, we told you! Right about what?" Hilda asked. "About Tim the Witchsmeller. He's here and he just kidnap Harvey!" I said while taking deep breaths. Hilda, Zelda and my dad looked horrified and hugged each other for comfort.

"Guess dreams really do come true." Salem said. "Oh dear. Does that mean one day I'll go running through the produce section wearing nothing but a belt of radishes?" Quigley asked. "Quigley, no. Just no." My mom told him while shaking her head.

"Can we get back to the problem at hand?" I asked. "Yeah, Tim captured Harvey." Sabrina added. "Are you sure? Tim hunts only witches and warlocks. Harvey's only a mortal. Who wants him?" Hilda said. "Only a mortal? It so happens some of my best friends are mortals." Quigley said. "Plus, we're right here, you know!" My mom said while crossing her arms, ticked off by what Hilda said.

"Yeah, yeah, Quigs. Tim must think Harvey's a warlock. Why?" Salem asked. "Wait. Sabrina, when we saw Harvey, it looks like he was wearing the..." I trailed off just as Sabrina said, "Oh no. Harvey!" and we both ran to check the chest. As we left, I heard Salem asking Quigley about radishes and Quigley told him just he never mind.

The chest was empty. "Why, Harvey? Why?" I said with a facepalm. "Oh no. The Soul Gem!" Sabrina said with shock as we ran out to tell the adults. "It's gone. Harvey must have it." Sabrina said. "Harvey must've accidently put it on when we weren't paying attention." I added.

"The magical essence from that amulet would be enough to fool that idiot aardvark into thinking..." Salem began. "That's Harvey is a warlock." Sabrina and I finished together. "Well, perhaps we should..." Quigley began, only to be interrupted by Zelda. "Only one thing to do." Zelda said. "Start packing!" She and Hilda said together.

"Really? Just because a witchsmeller is here doesn't mean we should leave." I said. "Yes it does." Hilda said. "Oh really? Who says?" I asked. "We do. We're older so we know more." Zelda said. "Dang it. I hate it when you do that." I muttered under my breath.

"Packing? We have to rescue Harvey! We'll just zapped him with a couple of spells from the Spookie Jar and..." Sabrina try to convince her aunts. "Tim has a spell scrambler. It just jumbles up our spells, making them useless." Zelda countered. "Fine! If you two won't help, then Sabrina and I will save Harvey ourselves!" I said as Sabrina and I walked towards the door.

However, Hilda and Zelda used their magic to barricade the doors and windows. "Really you two? I mean, I know Tim is scary, but is this necessary?" My dad asked them. "Yes." They replied simply.

"Okay, I may let you two act like mortals are just nothing, but this is jumping the shark." My mom told them. "Better safe than sorry." Zelda said. "Anyways, Sabrina. The only place you're going is to your room to go pack." Zelda told her niece, using magic to make the coat/hat rack alive and escort Sabrina to her room.

Soon, Sabrina and I were trying to sneak out, though it was hard with the windows locked up. "Aaron, can you travel through shadows?" Sabrina asked. "If you're asking me if I can take you, I can't. Not because I don't want to but because I'm not skilled enough to take people with me." I told her as I knew what her plan was.

"Going somewhere, lovebirds?" Salem asked us with a smirk. "For the last time Salem. I don't have romantic feelings for Sabrina." I told him. For some reason, he, Hilda and some of our classmates at school, even Harvey, thinks Sabrina and I have a crush on each other. We're just friends. I know Sabrina have a crush on Harvey, and I'm okay with it.

"I know. Anyways, do you two have any idea how dangerous the witchsmeller is?" Salem asked us. "Yes, but Harvey needs our help!" I said as Sabrina and I tried opening the window again. "I'm going with you two." Salem said with a groan.

"You're the best." Sabrina said, hugging him. "Yeah, thanks." I said. "Yeah, yeah. I'm a four-legged Santa Claus. Now how do we bust out of here?" Salem asked us. "I thought you knew?" I asked. "Santa Claus. You're a genius." Sabrina praised Salem. "He is?" I asked, confused.

The next thing I knew, we were ejected out of the chimney via magic. Sabrina fell into a tree, Salem into a bush and I onto the ground between them. Luckily, I summoned my shield to cushion my fall.

"Next time, I'm traveling through the shadows." I said as Sabrina landed next to me. "Fair point." She said. "Ow, my spine." Salem complained. "Maybe don't mention Santa Claus next time." I pointed out as Sabrina picked him up. "Point taken." Salem said, as Sabrina pulled out a piece of paper.

"I borrowed this from Aunt Hilda's spellbook. It's a tracking spell. Show me true, no hiccups or glitches, the pathless tried by the smeller of witches." Sabrina said, using the spell. The paper turned into green flames, which was like the magical tire tracks of Tim's car.

"It's true. The dumber the rhyme, the cooler the spell." Salem said as we followed the path. I actually agreed with him on this one. This spell is cool.


Meanwhile, back at the Spellmans' house, Mary's P.O.V.

Zelda and Hilda bumped into each other on the stairs, falling down. Quigley, Jake and Mary ran to see the commotion. "Sabrina and Aaron are gone." Zelda said. "And there's a tracking spell missing from my spellbook." Hilda added. "I'll get the car." Quigley said. "I'll join you." Mary said.

"Maybe it's best if you leave this to us witches and warlock, you two." Hilda told the two mortals, closing her spellbook. "After all, if a witch and warlock can't beat Tim, what chance does a mere mortal have?" Zelda asked as she and Hilda left, dragging Jake with them.

"Are they joking?! Do they realized who they are talking to?! I'm the one who trained my son how to fight, based off Hercules and Xena's battle style and that was because he liked the two shows! And they think we don't have a chance at all just because they don't?!" Mary asked, pissed off with the two witches for their witches' pride. "What chance does a mere mortal have? Dang nab, this isn't about witches or mortals! It's about family and friends." Quigley said as he and Mary walked off.


Back to our regularly scheduled narrator(Me!)

"We arrived at a castle-like place at the top of a hill. "Great. A Rocky Horror dream house." Salem said. "Come on!" Sabrina exclaimed. "Let's save Harvey and kick Tim's butt!" I said as we walked to the place.

We opened a door to a dark hallway. "Why do I get the feeling we're in a slasher film?" I asked. "Aaron, you need to stop watching those." Sabrina said with a shudder. "Hey, it's not my fault you didn't handle Child's Play well. I told you that you were going to get scared, but you persisted. And now you can't even sleep near dolls without getting nightmares about your soul being put in them while someone else is in your body, killing people for funsies." I reminded her.

"At least there isn't any traps." Salem said, just as one of Sabrina's leg went through a laser that sound a alarm. "So, what was that you said?" I asked him, giving him a deadpan look. "Here, kitty, kitty." A female voice called out as Sabrina turned on the lights. We saw the heads of all the warlocks and witches Tim had caught on the walls, just like deers.

"Are you alright?" Sabrina asked them. "Sabrina, their heads are on walls! I think that gives you your answer!" I pointed out, disgusted by Tim's actions. All of this, just because he was excluded? Drama king, much?

"Of course we're not alright, you little brats! How would you like to be stuck on some dusty walls for hundreds of years?" One witch exclaimed to her. "Hey, don't take it out on us! It's not like told him to do this to you!" I yelled back, with the witch about to yell at us some more.

"Leave the children alone. They didn't put us up here." Another witch told the first one gently. "Easy for you to be nice! You don't have spiders laying eggs in your ears!" The first witch said. "I don't want that image in my head." I muttered under my breath. "Too bad kiddo." Salem whispered back to me with a smirk.

"We're looking for a cute young guy with dark brown hair and a dreamy smile." Sabrina said, describing Harvey. "Aren't we all, honey?" The second witch said as the three of us shrugged. "Get us out of here!" A young warlock boy called out.

"Where's the rest of you?" Sabrina asked. "Stuck in some parallel dimension. Tim used that witch trap of his to turn us all into his living trophies." The boy warlock said while my fist were shaking at this... cruel act against living beings!

"Glad to hear you all getting along so well." Tim said from behind us as we turned around to face him. "Because you're gonna be spending a lot of time together." Tim declared. Sabrina used her magic, only for Tim to counter block it with his tech, destroying it with a green spiral. "Whoa!" Sabrina said, surprised.

"Now it's my turn!" Tim said as he pulled out a smaller tech and shot a pink bubble at us. I jumped to the side while Sabrina and Salem just stood there, getting caught in it. I pulled out my sword and shield as Tim was laughing.

"You claim to be a hero, even a victim, yet you laugh like a villain? Maniac." I said, causing Tim to realize that I wasn't caught. "So, you're still out? Nothing I can't fix!" Tim said as he shot more bubbles, which I jumped over. Thanks mom for those jumping sessions. Meanwhile, the witches were talking about how sad it was that Sabrina was captured.

"What have you done with Harvey?" Sabrina asked from the bubbles as I jumped over more, causing Tim to stop firing them to answer her question. "Nothing. He's no warlock, but he will make a lovely servant." Tim said with glee while laughing.

"You are a crazy psycho! Just because they excluded you doesn't mean they deserve any of this! And neither does Harvey, he's just a mortal for Christ sake!" I said angrily. "Yes it does. I know more than either of you two because I'm older than you." Tim said with a smirk. "No you don't. Just because you're older doesn't mean you know more!" I challenged.

"It doesn't matter anyways. As for you three magical so and so's will make fine additions to my permanent collection." Tim said. "No we won't! And even if we do, you didn't caught us!" I said with a smirk of my own. "W-what?" Tim asked, shocked of what I just said.

"We told you he was all washed up." Sabrina told Salem, shocking Tim even more. "What?" Tim asked again. "Some great witch hunter. This guy couldn't catch a cold in Frosty the Snowman's armpits." Sabrina said. "Yeah, and you caught a mortal, who you believe was a warlock just because of the Soul Gem amulet." I added.

"I caught those two, didn't I? And soon I will catch you too." Tim said. "No, we walk here on our free will." I said. "Exactly. We came to you. Major diff." Sabrina said. "She's right." One of the witches said. "You're losing your touch, witchsmeller." The other one said before they were laughing at him.

"Very well, halflings. I shall give you a five minute head start. If you could elude me until sundown, you all go free. If not, I keep you all. Agreed?" Tim asked as his aardvark went next to him. I looked at it with suspicion. It was smelling Sabrina, Salem and me for some reason. "You're on, twerp." Sabrina accepted as the bubble pop. "You go, children!" A witch said as we ran, until we were outside.

"Sabrina, we need to split up." I told her. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Yeah, safety in numbers." Salem added. "Look, I think the best way to beat Tim is by confusing him. Plus you know me, if he try to catch me, I will use my other skills." I reassured her.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sabrina asked. "Yes. When have I ever been wrong?" I asked her, before seeing that she was counting her fingers. "Look, I'll be with you two again if push comes to shove." I said, as Sabrina nodded her head. "Good, see you soon!" I said as I ran left and she and Salem went into the sewers.

As soon as I was near a park, Tim was behind me. "So, let me guess. Elton sniff us so it's easier for you to find us?" I asked with my arms crossed. "Yes, and now I will catch you!" Tim declared as he pulled out a bubble shooter. "Hold that thought." I told him as I walked near a shadow. "Take one more step and you're toast!" He threatened. "Oh, now you threatening kids? I'm not letting you scare me!" I said as I jumped into the shadow and shadow-traveled.

Of course there were voices in there. I think they were the dead people. Anyways, they keep trying to talk to me, but I ignore them. I ended up where Sabrina and Salem were at. "What happened to 'splitting up'?" Salem asked me with air quotes. "Hey, I can't control where I exit." I said. "At least I got rid of my scent from that aardvark's nose for now." I said.

"At least that detour threw him off for a while. Where was he anyways?" Sabrina asked me. "At a park. Should take him a while to get near us." I said. "I wouldn't count on that!" Tim said while laughing. "Okay. I'm convinced you are magic if you managed to find us despite splitting up." I said as I grabbed my sword and shield off my back.

"Aaron, can you do travel through shadows again?" Sabrina asked me. "No, I can only do it once a day so far. And I already did it. It's taking everything I have to not doze off right now." I told her as we backed up. "However, I can jumped over them if you and Salem hold on tight." I added to her.

"Don't suppose you wanna try for best two outta three?" Salem asked Tim "Why are you doing this? This is worst than what they did to you, you ego-headed man child!" I spat out in anger and hatred toward this man! Sure, he may had been made fun by witches and warlocks, but that doesn't give him the excuse to hunt them down and show them off as trophies.

"I'll make sure you're be the first one to lose your will, you ungrateful brat!" Tim hissed as he pointed his tech at me. "Do it! I will make you pay a thousand times worse!" I said. "Long time, no smell, Timmy." Hilda said. "Still taking your vacuum cleaners for walks, I see?" Zelda added. "And wanting to clean the kids of your smell? How nice of you." My dad said with a glare.

"It's time to turn you into a frog. You toad!" Hilda said as she used her magic. "Wait, he can block it!" I tried to warn her, but was too late as Tim blocked her spell, turning it into giant cheese. She and Zelda ran away while my dad just look disappointed. "Really, Tim? Going so far as to threatened children?" He asked.

"Raining cheese? Hallelujah." Salem said before Sabrina grabbed him. "Ha! You seem to forgotten the power of my Spell Scrambler!" Tim said with a laugh. "Hey look I have a sword. I wonder where I can stick it." I said with annoyance in my tone.

"What kind of child are you?" Tim asked me. "I'm not telling you anything! What kind of man-child are you?!" I shot back. "You are starting to get on my last nerve." Tim said before getting crushed by cheese. "Good." I replied, just as I fell on my knees. "Aaron!" My dad exclaimed with worry as he ran to me and caught me by my shoulders.

"I'm ok. Just a bit exhausted from shadow-travel, that's all." I told him. "I think a bit is a understatement. You can barely walk." My dad said as he lifted me up. "Where's mom anyways?" I asked him. "Hilda and Zelda thinks that us magical beings are enough to take Tim down." Dad said. "But Sabrina and I are also half-mortals. They must had thought of that, right?" I asked, only to see my dad shaking his head.

Tim's head pop out of the cheese. "A crucial error in tactics." He stated. "Can you just go in a hole and cry yourself to sleep?" I asked in annoyance. "For a non-witch, this guy sure cause a lot of trouble." Sabrina said. "Run now, talk later!" Salem said as we all ran. Well, everyone but me, I was being carried over my dad's shoulders. That's how much exhausted I was.

As we ran away, Tim destroy a fire hydrant. Well, he was aiming for Salem but Hilda grabbed him at the last second. "Now's he trying to kill us?! What the heck is he, a psychopath?!" I asked as we continued escaping him. "Something tells me he's upset." Hilda said. "I wonder what it could be? I can't be us escaping him, could it?" My dad asked Hilda.

"That way." Sabrina said, pointing at the mall. "The Greendale Mall?" Salem asked. "Homefield advantage. Nobody can outmaneuver me in the mall." Sabrina said. "True." I agreed, remembering the times she dragged me in with her. We soon went towards the mall.


Mary's P.O.V.

"Sabrina? Sabrina? Sabrina? Sabrina?" Quigley called out to his great-niece. "Aaron? Where are you? Aaron?" Mary called out for her son. She and Quigley soon walked passed a T.V. store. Only to walk back to it once seeing a T.V. that had cheese raining down in front of the Greendale Mall.

"Is the apocalypse upon us? Tune in to find out." A news reporter said. "Bingo." Quigley and Mary said.


Aaron's P.O.V.

We ran towards the mall. Tim tried to stop us, only to get hit by a van. "I despised mini-vans." Tim said. "Too bad." I replied back as we were in the mall.

"Dad, I think I can walk from here on out." I told him. "Okay, but take it easy. Your mom will kill us if she finds out about this." My dad said as he put me down. "Nah, I think she wants to kill Tim first." I told him. "Touche." He agreed.

"We better get the innocent bystanders out of here." Zelda said. "No kidding. Given what he plans for Harvey, just imagine what he plans for everyone here." I said. "Cream of mushroom, gumbo chowder, make these people take a powder." Zelda said the spell as she made the people disappeared. "Make the people take a powder?" I asked. "It rhymes." She said.

"In a mall, no crowds, but no time to shop. I'm getting even with that witchsmeller if it's the last thing I do." Hilda said. "Here comes your chance." Sabrina said as we ran while Tim tried to fry us. "Yeah, totally not a fricking maniac trying to kill us just because he's a victim!" I said as we hid in a corner with ATMs.

"Leave that aardvark to me. Get out of here." Salem said as we ran out. "Hilda, were you just putting on makeup?" I asked. "If I said no, would you believe me?" She asked. "No." I replied. "Drats." She said. I reflected some of the lasers with my shield, sending them to random things. As this happened, Salem poured hot sauce on the ground so that the aardvark can lick it up.

"Genius." I said under my breath as I blended into the shadows and inched my way to the fountain. "Elton, what have they done to you?" Tim asked. "Well, if Elton wanted water, all he have to do was ask." I said, appearing behind the fountain with my sword.

"What are you about to do?" Tim asked, before I cut the top of the fountain off and put my shield on the flow of the water, redirecting it at Elton and Tim. They were hit with the force of a fire hose. "Suckers." I said, running to the food court.

"As long as he got that scrambler, our spells are totally useless." Zelda said. "You know, my wife could've help us." My dad said. "Really Jake? She would?" Hilda asked. "Yeah, if you two haven't dissed all mortals!" He scolded them.

"Who needs magic? We're in a mall." Sabrina said. "Plus, I can hold him off with my other powers." I said as Sabrina and I grabbed some candies. "You're talking some mega cavities there." Zelda said. "These aren't for chewing, they're for spewing." Sabrina explained as I pulled out my sword again. "And this time, he won't know what hits him." I added.

On Salem's signal, Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda, my dad and I spilled the candy right on the floor. "Yoo-hoo! Over here!" Hilda and Zelda said, getting Tim's attention. Only for him to slip on the candy and fall.

"What a waste of candy too." My dad pouted, due to his sweet tooth. "Don't worry, we can grab some more after this." I told him as we all ran. "Have a nice trip." Hilda joked. "I get it, because he fell." I said while laughing for the first time all day.

We looked up and saw the moon. "We did it! We made it till night! We beat Tim, witches rule!" Sabrina said. "And warlocks and mortals." I added. "Yeah, those two." Sabrina said bashfully before all of us started cheering.

"Not for much longer." Tim said as he came to us on a skateboard. We were about to run only for Elton to be in front of us. "You're not the kind to hold a grudge, are you?" Salem asked the aardvark. It just spew out water. "I'll take that as a yes." Salem said.

"I have you now." Tim said, pointing the laser gun at us. "We won fair and square!" Sabrina said. "Why should I play fair with you? You witches never played fair with me!" Tim said. "Are you kidding me?!" I asked, walking forward. "Aaron, stop!" Sabrina said before my dad put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't. I think we should let him handle this." My dad said.

"You are the most arrogant hypocrite I met! You don't want to play fair with us just because those who made fun of you didn't play fair?! That doesn't justified your ends, you psychopath! In fact, it's time for you to meet your match!" I said, pulling out my sword and shield.

"Enough! I have it up to here with you and your talk about being noble! You witches and warlocks are all the same!" Tim spat out. "No, you listen here! You are also a warlock, even if you have no magic! So grow the heck up! The universe doesn't even care about your problems, you hypocrite!" I challenged as I raised my shield while Tim was about to pull the trigger.

Suddenly Tim was lifted up into the air. "Whoa! Oh no!" He cried out as he dropped his spell scrambler, breaking it. We looked up and I nearly cry from who came to help us. "Mom!" I said in joy. "Let go of me!" Tim shouted.

She was here, along with Quigley, holding a fishing pole that they used to grab Tim. "Hello son, Jake. Quigley and I thought to do some em style="box-sizing: border-box;"magical fishing/em. You know, a task for em style="box-sizing: border-box;"mere mortals/em." She said, glaring at Hilda and Zelda when she said that last part.

The two looked scared at that. "Karma's a..." My mom began. "Mary! Not in front of the children!" My dad said. "...jerk." My mom finished her sentence, though I knew that she was about to swear.

"Let go of me! You two are mortals! Don't you see how horrible these witches and warlocks are?" Tim cried out, glaring at the two. My mom turned her glare at him and he was actually scared. I think he wet his pants too.

"The only one horrible is you! Threatening to kill children! Being a hypocrite just because those from the past didn't play fair! You're becoming the very thing you claim to hunt!" My mom yelled at Tim with anger and hatred. Must be her Saiyan genes kicking in.

"Also, that's a load of hooey. Sure, maybe a group of witches and warlocks excluded you hundreds of years ago, but that's got nothing to do with these girls and men. They never lifted a finger against you." Quigley said. Now only if he can get through Hilda and Zelda when it comes to mortals.

"No, you don't understand, old man and young lady. Witches and warlocks are all alike. Especially that one!" Tim said, pointing at me. "Me, what did I do?" I asked, thinking on where to throw the sword at him.

"Horse feathers! Everyone is a individual and responsible for their own actions! I judge people by what they say and do, not by skin color or sex or nationality or whether they happened to have magic powers!" Quigley said. "Yeah, and my son is just telling the truth! So grow up! The universe don't care about your problems at all!" My mom said.

"Goodness. You are so right. Ladies and gentlemen, please accept my most abject apology." Tim said. "He's lying." I whispered to my dad. "I know. When the time's right, throw your sword at the fishing pole." He whispered back. "Okay." I replied back.

"Well, he does seem sorry." Sabrina said. "No he's not!" I said. "He's right. You can show me the error of my ways. In eternity!" Tim said as he pulled out one last tech. "Dude, give it up already!" I said. "No. And since you annoyed me, you're first to get sucked in here!" Tim said as turned it on and dropped it on the ground. It shot out green tornado that wants to suck us in.

However, Elton was being sucked in. "Hey Tim! Your aardvark getting sucked in!" I said as I ready my sword like a spear. "Oh no." Tim said as Elton was sucked in. Meanwhile, my mom and Quigley was at the railing, leaning over it. "Some people never get it." Quigley said.

"And by the way, Tim? We won!" I said as I threw the sword, cutting the line and causing him to be sucked in too. "You haven't heard the last of me!" Tim cried out as he was sucked in. That was all the tornado needed as it went back into the device.

"To be honest, I wasn't too crazy seeing the first of you." Hilda said as Quigley and mom came down the escalators. "Mom!" "Mary!" My dad and I said as we ran to her and hugged her. "My sweet husband and son. You did good, staying out of that *censored*wipe's hand." My mom said. "Uncle Quigley, you saved us." Sabrina said as she hugged her great-uncle.

"Not bad, for a couple of mortals." Hilda said. "These mortals happened to have pulled your collective fannies out of the fire. We'll remember that the next time you witches and warlocks get all highfalutin. That's the kind of attitude that creates the witchsmeller." Quigley said.

"Mortal? Oh no! Harvey!" Sabrina and I said in unison as we remembered why we snuck out of the house in the first place. We soon went back their, also to give someone a taste of his own medicine.

We got all the witches and warlocks out and even saved Harvey. "Is this thing ever gonna come off?" Harvey asked Sabrina. It has a weird clasp." She said as she walked to him so she can take the amulet off. "Here." She said, taking it off with magic. "Look like America's Cruelest Joke really went all out this time." Sabrina said.

"Yeah, but they didn't fool me for one second. I always knew what was going on." Harvey said as he left. "Sure you did." Sabrina said. "But we did." Salem said. "Salem, not the time." I said back. "It is to the time. And you know it." Salem said as I was sitting against the brick fence.

"I'm too tired to argue with you so let's meet in the middle and say we'll argue tomorrow." I said. "Fine." He groaned with a eye roll. Oh and by the way, Tim and Elton are stuck as trophies, with my mom threatening him that if he ever threatens me again, death may look like Heaven compare to the torment she'll unleash onto him.

Meanwhile, my mom was having that talk with Hilda and Zelda. "Good thing that you were distracted. I put a bracelet on you two that make sure you can't use magic. Jake made them. I'll take them off, as long as you both give me and Quigley a proper apology for calling us em style="box-sizing: border-box;"mere mortals/em! And also for insulting half of Sabrina and Aaron, for they are also em style="box-sizing: border-box;"half of mere mortals/em!" My mom told them.

It took Zelda a half hour to apologize. And it took Hilda half the night to actually apologized and during that, my mom made sure they didn't went to sleep until they apologized. This is the same person who worked for Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan at one point and more than once fought Goku so staying up half the night is like cake's walk to her.
