POV Narrator:

Bernadette successfully managed to leave the Cavendish family residence, but she had a much bigger problem ahead which was the great risk of being disowned by her own mother and losing the scholarship to Luna Nova, but at that moment the best thing to do was just ignore it and move on, take advantage that she was at the Morris family residence to rest after the tight fight she had when facing her own mother, a fight that cost a lot physically, that no matter how much she healed herself with some potions, it was always recommended to rest the body, which made her have to stay all day at the Morris family residence.

There she got to know all of Rosemary's family as well as her boyfriend, who was one of the few people in Appleton who were really less worse, he was just a boy with strange and peculiar tastes, but he respected his girlfriend a lot and treated the witches very well, the boy was the definition of a gentleman, with long dark brown hair, blue eyes, a few pimples on his face and wearing glasses, the boy casually dressed in a more nerdy outfit, which was a black rock t-shirt, a jacket and jeans, and all star sneakers. Bernadette spent the whole day there playing a little chess and also chatting with Rosemary and her boyfriend, fully resting her body after the impact of that fierce fight against her own mother.

At the McLaren family's home, Laura couldn't stop thinking about Bernadette, always so buoyant, always so thoughtful, she was more like that than usual, she kept looking at the window, what was very noticeable was her lack of wanting to leave the house or to do anything else, she hardly played and when she did it was only to relax a little and not to make her sister Chelsea feel bad, since she thought only about Cavendish, the girl was what dominated her feelings the most, so much that the letters delivered by Rosemary were what cheered her up the most, she even sometimes had some moments that she put this passion aside, when her sister had some ideas for more brilliant games, like pillow forts, or when she relived childhood memories of the two, Chelsea noticed a lot the evident passion of her older sister about the Scottish girl and even wanted them to be together soon to have the good old Laura back.

Monday, December 21, 1987

The day was dawning in both Scotland and Ireland, the two girls were getting up from a night of sleep, both had dreamed about each other, the McLaren with a moment in which she was side by side with Cavendish with the two already married and having a daughter. The Scottish woman, on the other hand, had a spicier dream about her beloved, so much so that she woke up with her hand inside her pants without noticing what she had done during the night, until she woke up and looked around, Rosemary was still sleeping, as was her boyfriend. The Irish girl bizarrely also woke up at the same time and the two of them practically got out of bed together.

POV Bernadette:

It's today... Today is the day I'm going to Ireland, I'm going to see my Laura... After so long we are going to start this relationship, but first I want to make everything seem like a mystery to her, after all I don't want Laura to find out anything, I want her to be surprised by my presence there, so I will cause a shock when she sees my face... I will just wait for Rose to wake up, she is the one who will take me flying by broomstick to Ireland, so that my magic detection will be even harder to find... My mother will surely try to find me at some point.

I soon get out of bed, I noticed that I had slept with my hand inside my panties... It must be because of that dream I had about Laura... It was kind of nice I admit, if it really happens like that today... I will love it, but I don't know... Will Laura really let me stay in her house? Oh, if it's up to Laura we will, but what about her family? Will they accept Cavendish there? I go into the bathroom, take off my clothes and from there I start my basic hygiene, just looking at the mirror and reflecting, today I will look nice for when Laura comes to see me.

POV Narrator:

At the Morris family residence everything seemed to be heading for great tranquility, since this time was Bernadette's big chance to see Laura and so the two of them could become a couple of girls, but things were not at all like that at the Cavendish family residence, Clarie was extremely angry, she had just been crying alone in her room about her daughter Bernadette, wanting to make the decision to disinherit the poor girl. She was in the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror, reflecting on the future of the Cavendish family at that moment.

POV Clarie:

Bernadette hasn't been back since yesterday, that rebellious girl really did it. Did she defeat me in a magic fight? I spent all day yesterday crying for this loss... My daughter did this to me... My own daughter turned against her mother... What a bitch, I swear that after this I will disown this girl... She will no longer study at Luna Nova... I will throw her out of the family... My eldest daughter whom I have treated with so much love... I was disgusted, until I went to my youngest daughter's room... She is now going to have to be Bernadette's successor, I knock on the door and wait to be answered, when that girl comes out I take Daryl to the residence room, not to mention that my mother was there, she is going to be all over me like this.

- What now Mom? What was the need to pull me like that - Daryl said until I slapped her across the face.

- Shut up, don't answer me, don't ask me, only I do the Q&A here, only answer me what suits me - I say very clearly to Daryl until my mother interrupts me.

- What is it Clarie? First Bernadette and now Daryl? Why do you treat your daughters like that? - said my mother, to which I reply very clearly.

- They are my daughters and I'll treat them any way I want... By the way... Only daughter, Bernadette is no longer my daughter, I will no longer weaken, I was weak with Bernadette and that is why she rebelled and wanted to become "free", so I will no longer intercede for her and don't even think about taking this girl in here, she is officially disowned - I tell her until my mother rebels, she holds me by my jacket angrily and starts talking and talking.

- Clarie Cavendish! Do you have any idea of the words you are saying? Bernadette is only 15 years old! She is not an adult, she is a teenager, teenagers really need discipline, but that is not the case with Bernadette, my granddaughter is the most behaved girl I have ever met, she only behaves with you because she is afraid, she is scared to death of you Clarie, you do not command respect, you command fear and that is what she feels when she is near you... Do you understand? Don't order me around and know that I won't allow you to desert your daughter, I'm the one in charge of this residence, so you better respect me, if Bernadette comes back here, she is very welcome and don't even think about taking her out of Luna Nova, because you know very well that I'm the one who enrolled her there, I'm the one who is paying for her to be there, you made sure to lie to your own daughter to force her to follow your line Clarie... You are a monster - my mother said to me, and I just shrugged and took Daryl away.

I took Daryl outside the residence, she was still in her robe, the good thing is that it would teach her something, since she would be a little cold, I just stared at her while she warmed herself up by rubbing her hands on her arms, how weak? She is 12 years old and doesn't know how to act in line.

- Very well Daryl... Your sister Bernadette is no longer worthy of being the leader and future successor of this family, now it is you Daryl, you must start now to prepare yourself to one day take this position for yourself - I tell her that she just smiled with happiness.

- So you mean you are going to give me all the attention you never gave me? - she said, which made me feel a little bad. I really paid almost no attention to Daryl and just kept ignoring her... Poor thing... But now I will make her walk the line and give her all the attention in the world, she will do everything Bernadette did and then some.

- Yes girl, I will give you attention, but know that you have to earn it, I will put you through the same process that I did with Bernadette, only stricter and more complicated, I want you to be more powerful and more intelligent than your sister, so from now on, come with me and we will start making you much better than your sister.

POV Daryl:

My mother is finally going to give me the attention I so richly deserve... But she is saying that she will train me like my sister... Does this mean that I won't have any other function in life? Will I spend my time just studying and training now? What the hell... Bernadette... Why did you do that? You stood up to our mother and took all our fun away... What a bitch... I hope this girl comes back... I really hope she hasn't made up her mind to run away for good... What the hell... I'll have to be forced to go through everything she went through and even worse... Fuck... I just want my mother's attention... I just want to be as recognized as Bernadette... You bastard... I'll just be Bernadette... Damn... But at least this way I can wait a little while and when I am 18 the head of the family is mine, I will become the leader of this place and I will be rich! I will never again have to obey any orders, not even these stupid traditions! The first thing I'm going to do is sell this castle and move to a mansion in London, no more staying in Scotland, there's nothing here but golf and bagpipes? This fucking castle is expensive to fucking maintain... I swear that better times will come when I become the leader of this place, all these traditions will die and I will be rich and I will reign, I will boast a lot, all at the feet of Daryl Cavendish.

POV Narrator:

Things for the Cavendish family were heading in a much worse direction than before, but at least Bernadette can breathe easy, since Bernadette this time can stay in Luna Nova, even if she doesn't know it yet, she will find out when her grandmother writes a letter to her about all the freedom she will have from then on, that she can finally be herself, that she doesn't have to fear any reprisal from her mother, who simply decided to ignore it and move on with all the insensitivity she had. Meanwhile away from there, in Ireland, Laura was finishing getting ready to go out, she soon comes out of the bedroom bathroom and notices that Chelsea was also waking up.

POV Laura:

Today I think I'll go out for a little Skateboarding, it's less cold today and it's less icy too, plus it's more interesting with the icy ground, just to try more maneuvers while the ground is all slippery, Chelsea is waking up too, I think I'll call her for a ride too, it'll be nice to have some fun with my sis, I can also help her to drop those ramps, I know she's scared to death to drop, but come on.

- Good morning, good morning my little sister, what do you think about skateboarding today? - I ask my sister who was rubbing her eyes.

- Skateboarding? But it's really cold outside... - said my little sister.

- We'll put on some sweaters, I'll help you climb the track ramps, that's for sure - I say to my little sister who gets up and starts taking off her clothes in front of me. Stop it! Go change in your room, I don't want to see you taking off your clothes! - I say, putting my hand in front of my face.

She didn't give a shit about what I said and still went to change in front of me and fuck me, how I hate this clueless brat... Fuck... If it was Bern I would like it... Hehe... Bernadette... She's so hot, so pretty... I want to fuck her... I mean... I want to date her... And eat her too... After we were both changed, we went to the kitchen to have breakfast before leaving the house, this time a delicious bowl of cereal with milk... Hmmmm... I love a good bowl of cereal, it will give me good energy for skateboarding today.

POV Bernadette:

Rose and I had already talked about leaving, so she said goodbye to her boyfriend temporarily, I disguised myself as a boy, so much so that I put on a wig with brown hair, so as not to be noticed and sat on the broomstick, being guided by Rose until we arrived in Ireland, I used the disguise just to give a good distance and go unnoticed until we arrived near Laura's residence... Laura... Soon I'll be there to see you... Soon I'll be in your arms.

- Rose, thank you so much... Everything you've done for us has been very noble girl. You have earned my trust enough for me to consider you my best friend - I tell her.

- Oh thank you Bern... I just want to see my friends well... And you can also consider yourself one of my best friends. I like how you are taking care of Laura. I even imagine what she would be like if she never showed up in Luna Nova. Laura really wouldn't be that well behaved, or even kind, although she is still a well of rudeness - Rose said until I started to laugh a little.

- A pit of nastiness might not be enough... That one over there is an oceanic cesspool of nastiness, but I love this thick girl - I tell Rose just thinking about the thick freckle.

We flew along talking on the way, I told Rose more in depth about how shitty it was to live in my family's residence, how my mother threw all my expectations up there, making me do everything to only increase my resume more and more, just so she could talk about me to others and have a little trophy, but now that's over, now I'm sure I won't go through this anymore, I just really hope she hasn't stopped paying my Luna Nova tuition, or get me out of there... I told everything to Rose who comforted me along the way, until we finally arrived in Dublin, finally in the land of my little redhead... In the land of the freckles that I love so much, we were flying towards her family's residence, but when we were close to arriving, Rose stopped the broom and asked me to look down...

It was Laura! She was riding a... Skateboarding? I think that's it... I don't know, I had never seen one personally and my mom always told me it was something criminal, something for teenage delinquents, I just kept looking there from afar, she was walking in that park together with her sister and there was also another girl smoking, I think that one is Morgana, I noticed by her purple hair and another girl next to her that was sharing a cigarette. I even had an idea... I will tell Rose.

- Hey Rose, go to a skateboard store, I'm going to buy one and then I'm going to continue with this disguise I want Laura to think she's just some kid, until I reveal myself to her, I'm going to try to get along with her, be a "cool dude" for now - I say to Rose who starts to laugh.

We soon buy the skateboard and I ask Rose to stay a little hidden and watch from afar, since I would go to the girls to mingle and try to show my maneuvers... Although I don't even know how to skateboard. I have never heard of this kind of thing, how do you stand on it? Well, let's go.

I enter the park and notice that the other girl is Aika who has come to Ireland to visit Morgana... Are these two up to something? Are they dating? Or are they just friends? I don't know... I only know that it was not a cigarette, only by the smell I noticed that it was marijuana, but it was a cute scene, the two sharing the same cigarette and even exchanging kisses, then I pass by them and go to Laura who was teaching Rose to go down a ramp, I swallow my saliva I give a cough, besides using a spell to thicken my voice a little, I arrive at Laura who was with her sister.

- Hey dude, everything okay? - I say to Laura who turns around and immediately touches my hand.

- Oh... Hey, did you have the courage to walk in this cold, bro? Brave you are, boy - she said.

- I am new... I mean new around here, can you teach me how to skateboard... Please? - I ask her, who just shrugged.

- Ah, I am just doing this with my sister right now, okay, so let's go, first you have to find your balance point, you have to find your base... In this case there are two bases, the Regular you stand with your left foot in front of the shape and the Goofy you stand with your right foot in front of the shape, this leg is the one that will give you more support when you row... Now hold my hands - she said, offering her hand for me to climb on top.

I was trying what I could to sustain myself in that business, it was hard until I found my base that was the one that they call Regular, after that Laura taught me the basics, how to row, what I got in trouble a little, I even took some tumbles and my disguise wasn't revealed, as much as my cap hid well, Laura walked in the Goofy base and taught me everything being practically in front of my person... It was so cute when we were holding hands, going down the ramps that it was a little scary, I had to bend my knees a lot when going down... It was very similar to the balance of having to stand on a broomstick, so it was pretty easy, I was managing to get along with this thing.

- Well done kid, you're getting it right, that's the way to go - said freckles proud of me...

- Thank you... I say Thank you, now can I go down the big ramps? - I say, asking Laura who just shrugged.

- Look, I recommend you be careful, because they are much faster than the short ones, not even my sister... - She said until she saw Chelsea calmly going down a high ramp and then reaching the other side, and she even celebrated.

- I fucking got my mana! I went down to 45! I did it! Thanks my sister! You're the bomb! - Said Chelsea all cute and celebrating, well... If she can do it then maybe I can do it too.

I soon then took courage and went up that ramp that must have been at least 3 meters high and its inclination was almost like a wall, down there from nothing the floor was straight, it was not gradual, and the worst was that it was a long bitch ramp, I was a little afraid, but Laura from down there was comforting me, she sent signals with her thumb and even said that it was like the others, her sister was the same thing just telling me to take courage... Then I take a deep breath.

POV Laura:

This kid... I've never seen him around here... But how strange, because I feel a sense that at the same time that boy is so familiar, because I feel a little bit... I don't know... He reminds me of Bern... I don't know why, that's very strange, but okay... Let's wait for the soft ass to take courage. Until he finally does, but when he goes down he goes smoothly, but when he gets to the bottom he loses his balance, ends up running, stumbles over himself and when I went over his cap was blown up, just as he was lucky enough to end up stepping on his skateboard while trying to stand up... Shit, I forgot to teach him how to fall. It is one of the most important things... Fuck... This time I felt bad... As he stepped, he falls to the ground and starts to roll, his wig flies off and reveals... Bernadette! Bernadette's hair! She's here! No! No! She's falling, I immediately start using magic to try to cushion her fall, since she almost hits her nose on the ground and fucks herself even more, I immediately start running towards her.

- Bernadette! Bernadette! - I say until I reach her and she moans a little in pain, until Rose appears out of nowhere... I didn't understand a fucking thing, what was she doing here? What is Rose doing here? What the fuck is this ... I don't know...

- Laura... My foot... I twisted my ankle... It hurts a lot - she said, groaning in pain until I grabbed her by the arms.

- I'm going to take you home, Rose and Chelsea come with me - I say calling them both.

We leave the skate park, I wave to Aika and Morgana announcing that I was leaving, we soon arrive home, I took her standing on the broom, Chelsea and Rose were carrying the skateboards and, unbelievably, a suitcase. What did Bern intend with all this? I don't know, but it's good to see, I soon enter the house, through the window of my room and inside I already put Bernadette lying on my bed, as well as take off her sneakers and socks, since she was in a lot of pain.

- Hmmm... Laura is really hurting... My foot... - She said moaning in pain.

I quickly give that ankle a yank that makes her scream in pain and then I use a healing spell coming out of the tip of my palm, the girls also entered my room, only this time they went through the door, I was faster and entered through the window, I was quickly healing Bern's feet, it was very swollen at the ankle, but soon she was back to her senses? How wonderful, I was able to heal someone for the first time in my life. I didn't think I was that good with healing magic.

- Thank you Laura... I love you... But I'm sorry to have caused you this inconvenience... It was a lot to go through... I couldn't stand to stay there anymore so I came here - She said almost crying until I wiped the tears from my cabbage.

- You don't have to go through any more torment, I am here to give you comfort... I love you too Bern, but tell me everything, tell me why you came here? - I ask her as I run my hand over her soft little face.

- I will. - she said.

Everything in my world shut down at that moment, all I wanted to pay attention to was Bernadette Cavendish's sweet and gentle voice... I didn't want to hear anything else, the girls soon put her things in a corner and sat down next to me as well... She started to tell me everything that happened, it was really very similar to what was in the letters until I interrupted her.

- Sorry about that Bernadette... But I have to make this request... Do you want to spend Christmas here? Stay here until the new year? I don't want to be away from you anymore Bern... I want to take care of you... I want to be by your side, give you love and affection... I love you... - I tell her and she blushes.

- I already wanted to ask you that... I don't want to go back to that place anymore... - she says, and I hug and kiss her.

- Now you can explain, it was bad of me to interrupt you - I tell her, who goes back to talking about the torment.

I, all interested, listen to everything in the smallest details in how she told about her family, even though I already knew most of it, as much as it was really something I knew, listening to her words seemed to come out much clearer, as if I knew better about everything that went on there... I really got even more hate from her mother and sister, what kind of way is this to treat someone by locking them in their room until Christmas? What a fucking idiot thing to do, I'm glad she went away and showed that she is strong, she defeated her mother... I am dying of pride for this girl. She is very strong and then she came here, she came here also because she loves me... How sweet... She couldn't stand not seeing me anymore... Just like I couldn't stand it... We really understand each other a lot... Until after she explains everything that happened I take her hand and stare at her with a passionate look.

- Bernadette Cavendish Stewart, will you be my girlfriend? - I ask her, and she blushes.

POV Bernadette:

I can't believe, I'm hearing this... Laura finally asked me to go steady, how incredible... Ahhh... Just like that... I wasn't expecting this... I thought she would still be all embarrassed, but no, Laura is all confident. You know... I think I'm going to accept... This proposal is my chance and I really want to be next to my great love... I have nothing to lose... So I'm just going to take it.

- Laura McLaren... I agree to date you... Make me the happiest person in the world Because I'm sure that this wonderful girl in front of me - I say holding her hand until I pull her into a kiss.

We had our first dating kiss, we sealed our lips together, it was the beginning of our romance journey, all I could think about was our love... To have her by my side, to feel Laura's lips touching me, her tongue adventuring with mine and this time there was nothing to hide, I didn't need to stop, I just needed to feel the pleasure, just live the moment, Laura is such a good kisser... Until after a long time that we spent kissing and almost touching each other if it wasn't for the girls next to us... That trail of saliva connecting us that this time I sucked just to show that I also wanted to feel some of that flavor... How disgusting... Although we share drool all the time when we are kissing.

- Come Bern... I say love... I have to introduce you to the family... Now that you're my girlfriend everyone needs to know that we're together - She said holding my hand while being embarrassed and feigning a groan of pain so as not to be lifted.

- I'm still feeling that ankle bump, baby... Are you sure you'd better take me? - I tell her.

- No problem, then stay there my cute little cabbage... I'll call my family to come see you," she says, which leaves me in shock.

She just goes, I get all flushed... I don't even know what to do... Fuck that fast... I was about to meet my mother-in-law, Laura's whole family... And if they don't like me... I'm such the perfect little princess... Damn... Oh, I'm getting into her habit of cussing. Damn, it's the effect of being in here already. I'm starting to become a dirty mouth McLaren. I just stare at the surroundings, while Laura called her family. That room of hers is kind of neat, although she threw all the pillows on the floor... I don't know what she was doing, but even this was pretty neat, she has more than one television too, several video games, even an arcade machine, I see Laura McLaren's things, wow how many things... She really has good taste, she even has a bass and a guitar, but how cool, I didn't know Laura could play, she even has that hanging chair that looks like a bird's nest, I always wanted one of those to read in.

Until Laura's parents come through the door with a lady that I am sure is Laura's grandmother... They are all very similar, they even remind me of my family... Well, they soon wave to me, they are all very nice looking and even a little bit simple... I could have sworn that the McLaren family lived in a very aristocratic way, but no, the McLaren are simple and humble, so they are full of money.

- So you are my daughter's girlfriend? A Cavendish girl, but what a nice girl, she has told me a lot about you... Pleased to meet you, I'm Joanne, this girl's mother, and don't worry about having a good image, she told me that you are someone much more polite than she is... Which isn't very difficult - said her mother, all nice, while Laura was sulking.

- Welcome to the family, I'm Laura's father, my name is Mark Irvine, I loved how she has good taste in girls and I have no prejudice against girls who like girls, our family here is open minded, feel like one of us - said her father very nice.

- Bernadette Cavendish, I haven't heard that name in years, I hope very much that you will be very happy together... I knew that Laura would end up dating you, she talked about you in a very passionate way... I have only this to say, welcome to the McLaren family, I am Great Grandma Elisabeth and I am the matriarch of this family - Wow... She is Laura's great-grandmother and she doesn't even look that old.

- Mom... Can Bern spend Christmas with us? She has a very... Cuzona and has no place to stay? Can she? Please - said Laura asking her mother, who just agreed.

- Good for me she can, now... Chelsea, come with me and we'll go to the mall, Mark will take us, you come too, let's make the couple more comfortable - said her mother while I blushed even more.

- I have to go too... I'll come back tomorrow, maybe Harry will be waiting for me - said Rose... Oh no people.

Rose soon waves to us and flies off on her broomstick back to Scotland, Laura's parents and her sister leave the room, as does her great-grandmother who just closed the door, leaving us alone... But it was not the same as before... This time Laura and I are girlfriends... Well... Whatever happens, I will love it, it will be the moment that our love will finally be able to blossom, so much so that Laura uses a spell locking the door and faces me with a more perverted look.

See you, lesbian witches...
