But Atticus was the closest one there and grabbed onto Cherry's right hand. "Don't worry, Cherry, I got ya!" he called out as he began to pull her away from Ben.
Cherry grunted from the force. Ben clenched his teeth, then let go of Cherry as he screamed and was trapped into the book with his ancestor.
"Oh, Cherry, thank goodness!" Michelle rushed to her daughter, quickly hugging her with tears in her eyes.
Atticus was now panting as that had took a lot out of him. And where everyone was impressed with Atticus's bravery.
"Thank you, Atticus..." Cherry whispered.
"No problem, now if only we could destroy that blasted book." Atticus said.
Cherry walked over and grabbed the book before a flaming branch could fall down and destroy it. "I know someone who will keep it safe."
"Sarah Ravencroft's spell book will be one book Ben's fans will never read." Velma stated.
"Thank goodness," Fred gave a nod. "What're you gonna do with the book, Cherry?"
"Give it to someone who will protect it," Cherry looked back to them, referring to Maestro Forte, her 'mentor'.
"I think he will be perfect to protect it too." Atticus said, knowing what she was thinking.
Cherry nodded. "Let's get out of here."
Everyone was free and Thorn happily reunited with her father.
Thorn then turned to Atticus and looked to her father and cousin. "Daddy, this is your nephew, Atticus Fudo, Atticus, this is your uncle, Haggett McKnight."
Mr. McKnight smiled. "I knew you seemed familiar..."
"I felt the same way, Uncle." Atticus said.
"I guess you guys are witches after all." Haggett smiled to his daughter and nephew.
"Wiccans, Daddy, Wiccans!" Thorn corrected with a giggle.
Mayor Corey rubbed the back of his neck and looked beyond the burnt remains of Oakhaven's town square. He was the least to say unhappy. "This is a disaster!" he cried. "No witch! No village! What are we gonna do for our Autumn Fest?"
"Well, you still have The Hex Girls." Thorn replied as Dusk and Luna came to her sides.
"No offense, girls, but I think we need a bigger attraction."
"Uh, what about him?" Cherry pointed to the trapped turkey who was still a giant, but no longer a threat.
And then came another idea Atticus's strength as another attraction along with the Hex Girls and the giant turkey. The Mayor allowed it to happen. The next night was spent watching Atticus, taking pictures of the giant turkey, or watching the Hex Girls in concert. Mystery Inc. thanked Atticus for helping them out and decided he and Cherry should become junior detectives for them in future adventures if they should run into each other again. Cherry and Michelle had a great time before they decided to go home.
About an hour after the concert ended and everyone went home, there came a girl in a blue outfit with blue sleeves, lighter blue tights with black buckled shoes and red overalls with curled and wavy raven hair. She found a pair of square-shaped glasses, they belonged to Ben, he had thrown them off before he cast the spell to bring Sarah back. The girl held the glasses and she looked as though she had resemblance to Ben and looked away distantly as the wind blew her hair back and she looked mysterious.
