POV Narrator:

After all that rescue mission that had explosions and even caused a change of place by the order of the chosen of Lhotus who moved to an island in an unknown location, but still all the hiding place underneath Appleton ended up having some remnants, as much as they managed to send books and anything that delivered more secretly the cult, still many things remained, such as bodies of dead witches, the whole structure of the building, decorations, including statues, idols with the cult symbol. This even ended up drawing too much attention from the police, after Appleton's director opened the way for them to see what was buried there and he was almost arrested because of the witch bodies and everything that was happening under his nose, and it was even necessary for the witches to come to the site to investigate, confirming that the witches were not killed by the principal of Appleton, but that there was also a secret society right under their noses, which grew an even bigger mystery about the Appleton academy about what was going on there, the theories were many, The theories were many, even more so because there were remnants of the cult, so that the case was placed as the Appleton cultists, starting to be investigated by witches from the intelligence agencies, to find out the whereabouts of that place and what was happening behind the scenes, After all, it was a little past the old witch torture cells that the students of that place used to use against witches in the old days, and that place had also been a witch trial court for many centuries, but that portion was totally unknown, no one knew for sure what that place was about. The girls and the people saved at the hand of Lhotus were the only people who knew, besides also Paul Hanbridge who helped the girls from Luna Nova with that whole plan.

But the time went by, the girls were just leaving this event aside, to go on with their lives, with Bernadette's career in brooms that was showing a lot of promise, so far there were 4 races and in the four of them she got second places, adding 32 points, while Laura was on fire adding 40 points with 4 victories in a row, the longest winning streak of BBRT, with 19 victories and she was on her way to the 20th, it was just a matter of time for McLaren. By then the students were starting their third and final term of the year after the spring break, classes would continue until June when the school year would end. Bernadette raced all this time under the name Bernadette Stewart and soon began to be noticed by her mother, who saw Isabella watching her granddaughter's races through a crystal ball and became even angrier when she saw that her daughter was doing well, She was even refusing to use the last name Cavendish, which infuriated Clarie even more, not to mention that the broom was the number 20, a number that Clarie hated in particular because it was the day that her daughter rebelled against herself.

Saturday, May 7, 1988

The fifth race of the year was about to start before a few weeks break in the event and this time Bernadette did very well, she was only two tenths of a second off pole position which was of course Laura the number 72, who was simply impossible to beat in that question, The precision of the same in each curve was shocking in how she took each curve as if it was nothing and still almost scraping the walls, in that it was a more braked circuit and full of walls because it was a street circuit, passing through the streets of Glasgow that demanded the concentration of the runner 100% of the time. That morning the girls settled into the Lancaster family home, since Molly and Harry, Rosemary's boyfriend, lived there. The Cavendish McLaren couple, as usual, the two were sleeping together in one of the rooms of that small mansion. The Scottish girl had concentrated so much that she had not made love for a long time in order to keep all the possible energy stored for the big race.

POV Bernadette:

The day has come... The big race... It is already four second places and I can't win for nothing in this world, Laura is simply stratospheric when it is about race, but today I believe that I will win, today I am motivated, today I will show Laura that my team will win in the strategy, after all I am prepared to run with everything, I soon get up and go to the bathroom and it doesn't take long until I receive a hug from behind given by Laura while I brush my teeth? So cute, I love this girl, I love her even more when I beat her and get to make love to her just to make up for all this hard work.

- Good morning love - Laura says until I turn around and give her a kiss.

- Good morning freckles - I tell her who just smiles at me and then does her personal hygiene.

Laura finished with the personal hygiene, so we went to take a shower and after a quick shower, we changed already putting the race clothes, to be warm for the big event, after changed we went to the kitchen and we said good morning to the people of the house and from there we just ate a good breakfast before we started to prepare to race. I will even talk to each one of the girls motivating them to work as a team to make everything perfect to get a great victory over Laura McLaren. The time went by and soon we were in the circuit just getting ready for the race, we were in the pits, I just remember to separate myself from Laura between the pits of our teams, we even kissed goodbye and we were just waiting for the time to go by there until Laura's mother gets in there to give a quick interview with me.

- Bernadette Stewart, how do you intend to beat my daughter? You know it won't be easy to beat Laura McLaren in a track where she does so well, even though she was only two tenths of the pole yesterday, eight points separate you two, four second places for you and four first places for Laura, it's going to be quite a challenge - Joanne said as always all relaxed with her interviews, I love how she is always impartial.

- Oh Joanne I'm just going to give it my all today and try my best to beat Laura in a race, besides the team is very motivated to win, we're going to do a lot of work to show that a good team is always important for a great runner to win, that is, just wait and see the magic of our lightning stops, you can be sure Joanne - I tell her who just nods her head and then goes to interview the other runners.

POV Narrator:

The race on the Glasgow street circuit has a very tight track with short straights and full of curves, with a length of 14km per lap and a race of 35 laps, the winner is the one who runs with more skill, usually the racers stop on lap 20 to change the wings, since this same track costs a lot for the wings that last very little due to the many curves that force the broom in the limit, the track also doesn't have any escape area with grass, it's walls for all the sides, what is common that beats happen in the track due to this, the weather in the place was until that open without chances of rain. Laura was leading the championship, she had 40 points in relation to Bernadette's 32, who was also not doing bad, since Cavendish had already collected 320 thousand pounds for the whole team thanks to the consistency that she had in delivering results. Race time soon arrived the brooms were all on the circuit just waiting for the race to be cleared and the lights to be given after a presentation lap, unlike the pre-race, here the race was done with the start stopped after they did the presentation lap and this was an undeniable thing Laura had instant reactions when it came to a start like this.

POV Laura:

We are released and then the presentation lap starts, I start to warm up the wings a lot, doing some turns from one side to the other until after the presentation lap we line up in the starting line and I am looking seriously at all that, it was total concentration, today I could win 20 victories and I have already signed with Elizabeth, I can't lose for anything this year if I want to climb to the WBRC, so concentrate Laura McLaren... I will do my best... The lights come on and when the start is given my broom... Oh, shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! She went out right at the start, but I soon managed to get her back on, only for it to drop me to sixteenth on a fucking tricky track... Bernadette has taken the lead now... Shit how the broom went out just now! This can only be Bern's luck showing.

In the first corner I even climbed to fifteenth place, but I was almost squeezed into the wall by another runner who didn't know how to control a broom, I was in trouble, every lap I would have to climb a runner while Bernadette was taking advantage... Damn, right in this race I was bad... I don't want to end up in the EBRC, it will be more years without going up in the WBRC where I should be already at a very high level... Now calm down Laura... Don't panic, just keep concentrating to win this race.

POV Bernadette:

Laura fell in the back, maybe her broom failed... Well then, I have been blessed with the divine luck of the nine lesbian witches, I will win this race if I keep going well like this, take advantage that she is screwed up and just fly away with everything, this way no one will catch me and I will become the big winner... Come on Bern, now it's time to put the boot in.

- Ahhhh look at that, Laura McLaren couldn't get off to a good start... Ouch... Hahaha! Go girl boot to fuck! Laura will be tangling with the runners, this is your chance to take the lead, run hard this is our chance to win - April said over the radio and I clearly understood her message, I will obviously run with all my ability, I will almost kiss these walls, but I will let the others kiss the wall for me.

I was going as fast as I could, pushing the broom as hard as I could, I could even feel the wind on my knees when I passed near the walls, it was amazing the amount of spark that rose, I took a good time lap by lap, just giving everything I had to give, the signs showed the difference increasing more and more, rising almost 3 seconds per lap in relation to the second placed, which was impressive, it was today that I could win and show that I am not only Laura's shadow... Well, I never was, she is too fucked up.

POV Laura:

It's been 5 laps and I'm still in ninth position, it's quite challenging to pass each one here, what a bitch... Why did I ruin this race, I'm sure I must have screwed up by pressing to accelerate at the wrong moment or the broom went bad at the wrong time, I don't know, fuck it, this is not the time to discuss who screwed up or not, this is the time to show results! I moved up to the eighth position! Great! But I am still 36 seconds behind Bernadette, this track lets her open up a lot in relation to me because I get tangled up here with these runners and many of them even try to defend themselves from me, damn it! This way the cabbage is guaranteed a free stop, I think I'm going to keep going without stopping in this race, I'm going to try to keep going well until the end, because if I stop I lose. These wings can handle 500 kilometers very well, I already had the idea of racing like this before, so it just matched my strategy. These walls are getting closer and closer... I am really surprised that I am not crashing, I am going to get the most out of this race, in a few good laps these wings will start to get really good... I just hope I don't take a blue flag to the point of taking a lap... That would be too humiliating. But I won't go! I am an out runner! I'm going to win this thing in a big way or I'm not Laura McLaren.

Back and forth it was already lap eight and I had climbed into 6th position! Great, but the gap was still the same, damn it! I have to be able to go faster than that, but I still can't let the wings get too worn out... The worst thing is that I can't go any faster than that without damaging my race, if I stop afterwards I lose all chance of winning! Ahhhh! Shit! I have to give my blood to guarantee this victory! Fuck me, I'm an imbecile for signing up to race for Leaf for more years! Holy shit! They're gonna push me through the junior ranks yet! I have to win this, it's all or nothing! Lap 9 fifth position! 35 seconds! Not bad, I am already able to reduce the gap by one second and the wings are getting used to the track... This is great... Lap 11 fourth position 33 seconds, that's it, one second per lap, at least this way I take out enough of the gap that is lost with one stop! A fucking accident! That was a close one... Shit, I lost time dodging those two... But as I pass to complete lap 12 I get on the podium, I am now in third position, those two tangles were the ones in front of me... The gap went up to 36 seconds again... Lap 15 I moved up to second without even noticing, I think I passed her because she stopped in the pits, now the race really starts, there is plenty of track to chase Bern... 30 seconds apart, I don't know which lap she will stop, this is all a real racing lottery, I only know that I will give my all in these laps to press harder.

POV April:

Fuck, this Laura is no ordinary witch, she is not kidding, for the nine lesbian witches, now things are going to get tighter... The difference is already around 29 and there are 4 laps to go to stop Bern... Come on Bern, fuck it girl! Show this ability... I'm going to talk to her to sit down a bit more because we have a future clash ahead of us.

- Bern, put some more gas in this broom, Laura is slowly slowing down this broom, sit down, we are going to stop on lap 20 and from what I noticed here it is 22 to 25 seconds that we lose in one stop and I almost have the impression that Laura will not stop for anything in this world! So get your boot up and get some new wings for that broomstick," I tell Bern over the radio as the race goes on.

Lap 17 and the gap was dropping at the same pace however Bern is squeezing a little tighter, I notice this by her lap time... 27 seconds, this Laura is a monster, by the nine... How she can so quickly take the difference... Bern is giving her all, I don't doubt it, but Laura is simply a monster, but let her pull really, if she follows this strategy of not stopping her broom she will not hold Bern's pace with new wings, the problem is that this track is very tight. Lap 18... 26 seconds, Laura is a monster... Damn, I'm in shock and with a lot of pressure here, no race was like this, all of them we couldn't even stay in the lead that much... Lap 19... 24 seconds... Fuck... Laura taking almost two seconds off in a single lap... I am getting shocked... The team was soon ready to make the change and right in the middle of that lap to complete lap 20 I already called her to the pit.

- Box! Box! Box! Box! Boxes Bern! - I say to her by the radio that soon finishes the lap and enters in the boxes, with the difference of 22 seconds it seemed an impossible task, but I will try the impossible here! The team will succeed, I was watching by the televisions Laura's broom passing by the circuit and also Bern's arrival that was an extremely fast stop 1.92 seconds! Holy crap! What a fuck! We made it! And still leaving with a clean Pit Lane.

Laura's broom was already on the main straight and Bern came out with everything and went through the first turn still a little ahead of Laura! Yes, we did it! She came out with 2 seconds ahead of Laura! Damn! That's it, team! Now we just have to keep going! I even celebrated and hugged my whole team with so much euphoria, but soon after we got back to our positions, I was looking attentively to Laura that even behind she still made the approach.

POV Bernadette:

I get out in front of Laura! Yes, but soon I can see her through the rearview mirror of the broom, now all I need to do is to sit the boot on the broom, but this first lap is still to warm up the broom, I won't be able to keep the rhythm of fast laps so soon... That green broom was slowly getting closer which gave me a little bit of pressure, even more how quickly she managed to recover, by the end of the lap she was very close, she will obviously want to make me give in under pressure, but I will show what she has taught me all this time, I will show how I also know how to be as fast a runner as Laura.

I passed the warm-up lap now just fall for the hug, but even then when I could go more on the edge and quickly pull out the broom, Laura kept on my tail... Wow... She really is a runner from another world I am getting surprised at how she stays that close to me... But just staying 22 laps ahead of me makes me happy, because she is extremely fast, there is no way to keep up with a runner of this caliber.

POV Laura:

I am close, now I just have to pass Bern that she is delaying my race, lap 23 and I still haven't passed her, until it came to a longer straight that was followed by S-curves, I was on the side of her broom and there was no way she had room to defend herself, until it came time for the S-curves where I passed her with everything in each S taking the lead! Yes! Now I can have the big chance... Take that Elizabeth Champman! I can race a broom as fast as I can race a WBRC broom! This future broom will be mine for all I care! Lap 24 still leading comfortably, I put 2 seconds on Bern and little by little I opened up, the broom was in perfect shape! I'm managing to show why I'm such a fuck up! On lap 25 everything was also perfect until I heard a bang on the back left side of the broom... Oh fuck... No... It can't be...

- Laura McLaren... Your rear left wing has been overstressed! Box! Box! Box! Box! - said my strategist, dammit just when I was having the perfect race.

I soon see my lead dwindle as Bern passes me easily and I go into the pits to change this shit, luckily this happened right at the end of the lap, raising some sparks, so I quickly changed those wings... Not so fast, but enough to lose 30 seconds of stoppage time... Damn 30 seconds in 10 laps... How am I going to chase Bernadette taking almost 3 seconds off each lap? I don't know! How the fuck do you do it? All I know is that I will do it! I'm going to recover from this mistake!

Lap 26 I put that broom on her limit, fuck it, fuck that orb, I even turned it on in manual mode! It will be my magic that will fuel this thing in the last laps! I'm not going to lose this race for anything! Shit! I'm on fire hunting this girl down so much that the wings came off so the manual mode could be activated, which sucked that I had to stop at least once to be able to use the broom's manual mode! Now I'm going to run this Bern over like a tractor.

Lap 27 with 8 laps to go and I have to take at least 3 seconds per lap! I'm going to make it, the difference was 27 seconds until then I need to push a little harder, swallowing each corner, there were even some that I scraped my knee on the walls, to the point where sparks came out of my knee guards, besides tearing my overalls a little. Those walls were like rails for my broom.

Lap 28... 24 seconds, I was getting milk from a stone, I could force that broom beautifully, but even so I was afraid of it not holding the amount of force I was giving, it was not made of carbon fiber like the WBRC brooms, this broom is made of aluminum and can't hold that much tension at that speed... Bern is lucky, if not I would have already reached it... Lap 29... 20 seconds... I don't know what miracle this was, but I managed to take four seconds off in a single lap... The race is flowing in my hands now... Lap 30... 17 seconds... I am already sweating... The aluminum combined with the speed has warmed me up nicely... I have to use my magic not to let it get so hot that I burn myself.

POV Bernadette:

Laura was in the back and I don't know what happened for her to be able to take almost four seconds per lap... What is this girl doing with her broom? I don't know what it is, but she can really catch me at this pace... Well, I didn't expect that... Laura is full of surprises indeed? Well, I will keep trying to pull as much as I can, it is impossible for her to get 17 seconds in five laps, not even at this pace of 3 or 4 seconds per lap... She wouldn't be able to take so much and she would only catch me in the last lap, to catch me is one thing, to pass me is another.

I continued at the same pace but the signs were very scary 14 seconds on lap 31... 11 seconds on lap 32, 8 seconds on lap 33... Relief, at least at this pace she at maximum just catches me... I'm on my way to victory, but I still have to keep pushing hard if I want to win this race... Damn... Laura is a monster... Now I understand why she wants so much to be a great champion in the broomsticks, now I understand why nobody beat her last year, this girl is too lucky, even when she is at her worst she can recover and put pressure.

POV Laura:

Lap 34 is now all or nothing, I held a lot for this finish, I have to take eight seconds off these two laps if I want to reach Bern... So I made sure to pull in a way that I never did before, I went on the limit of the limit, scraping the walls practically, I was going with everything with the broom, I felt the heat of the aluminum... the handles of the broom melting... I hope it holds up for at least the final 3 minutes, I hope so... I'm almost crossing the finish line... It's only a matter of time now... That's it! Four seconds into lap 34 and I could already see Bern's broomstick all checkered... The Scot is going to be eaten up! Just a matter of time on those corners... Shit... This shit melted at the end of the lap. This aluminium is really a disgrace just because I am above 600 km/h on the straights, this shit can't stand it without getting heated... The paint is starting to melt too...

Lap 35! Last lap I was already catching up with Bern, but she was still ahead, until the last curve, the last straight and we were side by side, I hadn't even looked at her, I was almost crying with the gloves that were burning and my hand was almost burning with that hot aluminum, all I did was reduce the broom and breathed heavily... I have never before worked so hard in a race as I did now, if I didn't win this race, I won the hearts of those who watched, I gave my blood today... Soon I went around waving to the crowd at the same time that Bern passed by my side, the broom's paint was dripping because of the heat, she soon touches my hand and I touch hers and we park the brooms in the pits, until I look at the photo of the finish ... For a fraction of a second Bern won... Fuck... I soon get all tired and fucked up and start laughing with relief and happiness. Then Bern comes over to me and looks worriedly at my hand.

- Love! The side of your hand! The palm of your hand! Look at those injuries! Your knees are all torn your elbows! Your clothes are all torn! And what about those arms in flesh Laura! How do you explain that! There was no need to pull all that out - said the little cabbage all worried about me.

- Oh relax baby, I tried everything, but you and your team were the best... and you deserve this great victory! That's it girls! You're the best!" I say, waving at them in pain, until Bern uses healing spells to close my wounds.

After being cured we are interviewed by my mom and I immediately congratulate her for her fucking hard earned victory, they are so fucking fucked up, I can imagine how shocked April was at every moment, after the podium ceremony I made sure to grab my cabbage by the waist and we kissed while we took the champagne bath... Everyone around was even in shock at that big kiss, I wonder if her mother is even watching this! Haha! It will be her climax. After this podium ceremony I just see all the girls going for it, these girls deserve it, they won beautifully today.

POV Bernadette:

Did I win? I won! Damn it! I never imagined I would make it! All thanks to this wonderful team! We gave it our all today! I won at least one race... But damn... Laura was on fire by the looks of it, to the point of making the broom melt and also some parts of her clothes, I really have a lot of growing up to do... She is extremely fast when she can be fast... I will even want to see her attacking every turn later... Well those 10 points and 100 thousand pounds are very welcome now! Let's celebrate a lot today.

- Fucking Bernadette! You're a fucking great girl! Yeah! We won for fuck's sake today. Look, I just have to say one thing to you, Laura. Fuck you, girl! You'll be this good in the fucking house! You can't give a moment of peace for us, I don't know, you hit the broom, you lose the race just to make fun, but no, you from nothing you get possessed and start to get fucking serious, only by your clothes I noticed how you run like a crazy person.

- Oh, so you are in shock girl? Good luck because I will give you a lot of headaches later this year, today you were excellent, perfect, I have to say that keep it up, bordering on perfection, since today was one of the most fucked up races I have ever witnessed? If not the most fucked up! I just have to say thank you to the fucked up team that you are - said Laura waving to us.

Today was amazing, after the whole race event, we picked up and went back to Luna Nova, where we were all still celebrating that conquest, I picked up and left the trophy in the blue team's room, where Beatrice and Molly were loving that trophy that we won, and also the 100 thousand pounds that we won that day, today we won like never before, Laura went straight away to see the state of the broom, without even thinking about celebrating.

- The broom is okay, but you will need to do some repairs, if you need anything, leave it to me, I'll fix it and make it complete from scratch, look I have to say that today you won my heart again my love... I really had a lot of fun today... You can be sure that the reward will be good later - Laura said already all naughty... In front of the girls while I was blushing.

- Damn! We did great today, I'm still shaking, I managed to do everything beautifully for the team to flow, even in shock, damn Laura... Even your clothes can't stand you, you should race worldwide, let us win this title, Laura? Please go... Bern gives you a blowjob... She already does that - said Apri until Laura and I scolded her.

- April! - We both said, until April just shrugged.

The time went by in the celebration the girls drank too much, Laura and I were just playing until later we went to the bedroom where we made a little love, after all I was already a long time without making a good old love with my freckles, as we always used to do when we didn't have a race... That was the best feeling in the world.

POV Narrator:

Bernadette took her first win on the British Broom Racing Tour, which eventually caused Laura to miss her big chance to become a WBRC racer in 1989, but she kind of didn't care and even made a point of being happy to see her girlfriend finally having a moment of glory after a tight race she had against her girlfriend.

See you, winner witches...
