-Dani's POV-

I sighed for what felt like the millionth time that morning.Binx had not been home all day. In fact, he's been acting strange ever since last night. I know that he goes out, but usually he would at least tell me beforehand.

I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts when my bedroom door slid open and In came a very soaked and tired-looking Binx. "Where were you all day?" I asked the feline in my lap. "And why didn't you tell me you were going out?"

"I went to visit my sister's grave." The cat replied in a dejected tone. "It's her birthday today, so I want to pay my respects." His voice sounded scratchy, as if he'd been crying. I stroked his head as a sign of comfort and he curled into my side, purring softly at my gentle touch.

-Binx's POV-

I was always sad and depressed on this day. It always made my guilt grow stronger, that stupid cursed spell. I really missed Emily and my parents. I was the only living member of the Binx family left.

"Hey Binx? Are you hungry?" I looked up from staring at my paws to see Dani staring at me from the other side of the room.

I jumped off the bed and slowly walked over to the food and water. "Thank you, Dani." I said, my voice still hoarse from crying so much. After I finished eating, I laid back down in the chair near the window, watching the rain fall outside with a sad expression on my furry face.

"Max and Alison are coming soon, maybe they can cheer you up," I gave the teenager a small smile and looked up at Dani with sad and knowing eyes. I was just about to open my mouth to speak when an all-to- familiar voice called out to me.

"Thackery, Thakery Binx." My head shot up and I spun around to face the owner of the voice. "Why doest thou look so sad brother?" I slowly turned to see the ghostly form of my sister. "Emily? I-I-I'm uh…" I didn't know how to answer the question. I lowered my ears and slowly approached my sister's ghost. "You didn't answer my question, Thakery. Do you still blame yourself for my death?" Emily asked me, staring down at me with a question gaze.

I sighed softly and looked away. Emily could read me like an open storybook, which meant that there was nothing I could hide from her…at least, not for very long anyway.

I noticed Emily looking at me in the corner of my eye, I looked up at her as I finally answered her question. "Well, to answer your question. I can't do anything about it, I was forced to live with my guilt." I wanted to run, but I know that my sister wouldn't let me.

"But…the witches are gone. Doesn't that mean that the spell on you should've been broken seven years ago?" Emily asked, a pout now on her face as she stared down at me.

I sighed mornfulluly and shook my head. "No, sadly It hasn't been broken." I replied in a soft tone, "I don't understand that stupid spell very much. Although, I've gotten used to being a cat. I don't think the spell will ever be broken, Emily." I said quietly while looking up at my sister, who was still pouting. But there was now a scowl on her face as she glared out at the direction of the Sanderson house.

"Hmph! Those nasty old hags!" she growled under her breath. "I wish I could beat them up myself. But they're gone and I'm a ghost. Well…I have to go now, Thakery. Oh, and Binx? Please promise me that you'll stop sulking." Emily teased me with a found smile and a wink in my direction. I gave her a watery smile in return and in a flash of blinding white light, she was gone.

I gave a quiet sigh and walked over to Dani, and curled up beside her. My eyes began to water once more. I curled up on the bed and Dani began to pet me, and we waited for Max and Alison to arrive. Lucky for us we didn't have to wait long, although I was still really depressed, I had loved seeing my sister... But didn't she know that I was already feeling guilty, depressed, and sad all at once, apparently not.

-Meanwhile-

I let out a mournful yowl as Dani picked me up. She tried to comfort me but I jumped from her arms and curled into a tight ball once again on top of the bed. It was then that Max and Alison came up the stairs and they both looked panicked...oops! My bad.

"What's wrong?" Alison asked, me as I curled up into a ball again. The blind-haired girl lifted my chin up and my watery red-rimmed yellow eyes met hers. "Hey Dani, do you know what's wrong with Binx?" Max asked his sister, who was still sitting on the foot of her bed.

The 15-year-old sighed softly and looked her brother in the eyes. "Binx has been acting strange ever since the day before yesterday and he won't tell me why, believe me, I've tried." She told them with a pitiful sigh.

Alison sighed and stroked the top of my head with a thumb. "Binx, if you don't tell us what's wrong, than how are we going to help you? You know that it's not healthy to hold things inside like this, don't you? Please, please just tell us Binx," she pleated with me to speak, but I wouldn't budge.

"I don't want to talk about It." I said, my voice horse and my eyes stung from how dry they were. I jumped off the bed and tried to bolt and run, but Alison grabbed me before I even had the chance to flee. I strugled in her arms but she wouldn't let me go. I shut my eyes tightly as I felt my small body shaking, tears escaped from my tightly shut eyes as the girl stroacked my head.
