Melody had joined up with the Sanderson's and Winifred decided to take the young girl as her daughter. Scarlet seemed to be her closest aunt too. Melody was already proving to be a great witch, just as they all predicted. Melody got done with a ride on Anope and walked to where Winifred was. Her mother was looking up a spell from Scarlet's book and what it required.
Melody looked at the spell and said "It looks as if we need more of the red fern."
Winifred looked to her new daughter and smiled "You've really learned how to do these spells."
"Of course, mother." Melody replied "I find them very interesting, plus I want to impress you."
"You already do." Winifred said, bringing Melody close. "You're my pride and joy."
"As you all are with me." Melody responded "I'm grateful that you adopted me."
Winifred smiled at her.
"You and Scarlet were what we really needed around here." she said "You two brought something here that we've never really had before."
"What's that, mother?" Melody asked
"Love." Winifred told her "You and Scarlet brought real love to this family and made it better. It wouldn't be the same without either of you."
"That's very sweet of you to say." Melody and hugged her
Right there Scarlet walked in with red fern that was needed for the spell. She smiled at what she saw, knowing it is a very sweet moment. Melody looked back and smiled at her.
"Hi, Auntie Scarlet." Melody spoke up
"Hello, Melody and Winnie." Scarlet responded "You two are being very cute right now."
"We should be." Winifred told her "You two are gifts and great ones at that."
"That nice of you to say that, Winnie." Scarlet responded and handed over the red fern "You'll need this for that spell."
Winifred took the red fern and thanked Scarlet.
Scarlet looked to Melody and asked "Are you ready for your singing lesson with me and your Auntie Sarah?"
"You go on, Auntie Scarlet, I'm going to stay here for a little bit longer." Melody told her
Scarlet nodded and said "Alright, I'll see you later then."
Scarlet walked back to Sarah to leave Winifred and Melody alone for a bit.
Melody looked back to Winifred and asked "Do you mind if I assist you with the spell?"
"Not at all." Winifred asked
Melody assisted Winifred and the spell was a great success. Winifred knew now that she liked this way of living way better than before. Scarlet and Melody were definitely what was needed. The brought real love and that was all that was needed now. However, great love was about to hit Scarlet not to long into the future.
