Once they were all in the car on the way home to Maple Street, Elizabeth asked the girls.. "Do you know who cursed you?" She asked.. Cerci smiled.. "Yes." She replied.. "If you know that, do you know why you are all aging now?" Elizabeth asked.. "Yes." Cerci replied once again.. "Then can you please let me in on it.. I have been wondering for three hundred years.." Elizabeth said to the girls....

Nothing else was said on the way to the new house.. The girls all arrived in high spirits, excited to see their new home.. Ruby came in carrying Pflance in her carry box.. Which she hated with vengeance.. "I am not getting into that thing.. I will meet you at the house.. Just take my mirror with you." Pflance said to Lucinda.. "No." Lucinda replied.. "Excuse me?" Pflance asked.. "I said no.. You are a cat.. You will travel as one." Lucinda said to her.. "Then I shall just go into my mirror and not return." Pflance said to her.. "Go ahead.." Lucinda said.. Fortunately Lucinda knew that Pflance had no intentions of leaving her girls.. Unfortunately for Pflance, she knew this too.. There was a standoff for a moment. Until Lucinda stamped her foot.. "I am leaving this house in a moment.. When I go I will take that mirror with me and leave it with Thackery Binx.. So you can come with me in that box.. Or you can go through the mirror and live with Thackeray and Emily Binx.. Oh and don't forget their new cat.. What is his name again? Oh yes, that's right, Midnight." Lucinda said with an evil chuckle.. "I really dislike you at this point in time Lucinda Sanderson!" Pflance said as she walked into the cat box.. "I know, but what fun we are having.." Lucinda said to her as she closed the door..

"Here you go Pflance, we are at our new home." Ruby said, opening the door of the box.. Pflance peaked out at the house, but she did not move.. "You can come out now, Pflance." Lucinda said to her.. "Pflance.. Come on, come to Martha." She said giggling.. That is when it happened.. The front door burst open and two sixteen year old girls dressed in ripped jeans and t-shirts stood in the doorway with smiles on their faces.. "Hello.." They both said. As Cerci watched them with a smile.. They have strawberry blond hair, a cross between Winifred and Sarah.. But that was not what Cerci was smiling about.. She knew them.. So did Pflance.. She ran out of her box and straight to them.. "Hello girls, it has been such a long time since we last met.." Pflance said to them.. "Pflance?" The girls asked, picking her up and patting her.. "Yes." Pflance replied with a purr.. It was then that Lucinda's green eyed monster came out.. "How dare you!" Lucinda said.. "Pflance.." Ruby said.. "Is our..." Martha said.. "Cat and friend!" Lucinda said.. "Now.." Ruby said.. "Unhand.." Martha said.. "Our Cat, now!" Lucinda said.. While Cerci laughed.. "Oh my goodness, it is so good to be with people that we know so well." She said smiling..

"So you're telling me that our girls come from a different realm too?" Elizabeth asked. When all had moved inside to sit in one of the two lounge rooms.. "Yes, we know Hazel and Primrose.. As does Pflance." Lucinda said.. "How is that possible?" Jacob asked.. "We all came through from the Dead Woods where we lived then.." Hazel said to her Dad.. "So you must have all come through at the same time?" Elizabeth asked.. "Yes, I would say so." Cerci said with a smile.. "Then please explain to me how it works." Elizabeth said.. "You do not know how it works?" Cerci asked with a smile.. "Did you not know?" Lucinda asked Primrose and Hazel.. "We sought to do.. But we did not know how or why.. Does that make sense?" Hazel asked.. "As clear as mud." Lucinda said as she sat with Pflance.. She could not believe that she would have betrayed her with those two.. They barely knew them.. "Aunt Elizabeth said you grew up in Scotland?" Cerci asked them.. "Yes, in the highlands.. We played with the other children of the village, until one day, Mother noticed that we were not changing." Primrose said.. "Not changing?" Ruby asked, looking at them with an odd look.. "Ruby, do you remember how excited you were when we first ran away?" Lucinda asked.. "Yes, it was so much fun." Ruby replied.. "Then one day you realized that it was not so much fun anymore.. Didn't you?" Lucinda asked.. "Yes." Ruby replied.. "Now why was that?" Lucinda asked.. "Because I hadn't grown up or changed.. Oh now I see." Ruby said with a smile.. "So we moved from the Highlands to London, then all around Europe.. Then back to Scotland.." Primrose said.. "Did you come back to Salem at all?" Martha asked.. "For a short time when they were young." Elizabeth said.. "Did you come and see Mamma, and the others?" Lucinda asked.. "No.. But we watched you and the other girls playing by the river with the boys." Hazel said giggling.. "I like boys." Martha said.. "So do I." Hazel said with a giggle.. "Mamma, can I show them their rooms?" Primrose asked with excitement.. "Yes of course." Elizabeth replied.. As all six girls headed up the huge staircase to their rooms..

Lucinda's room was all decked out with green and gold wallpaper, and an emerald green bedspread.. Ruby and Martha decided that they would share.. Their room had two sets of bunk beds, both with red and purple covers and soft red green and purple wallpaper.. While Cerci's room was all decked out in silver and red.. She placed her bag on the bed and smiled.. She and Thackeray had watched this house being built.. During the period they called the Gilded Age.. They were amazed when electricity finally came to town.. They would walk the streets at night just to see the lights.. Thackeray said they remind him of the stars in the sky at night when he was a boy.. She could not wait to tell him where she had moved to.. He would be so excited..

"So tell me again so I understand, how do you know our girls?" Jacob asked at dinner.. "Well we all lived in the dark woods." Lucinda said.. "Which is where Hazel and Primrose lived." Ruby said.. "With their sister, Gothel." Martha said.. "We.." Lucinda said.. "Tried.." Ruby said.. "To help." Martha said.. "Heal.." Lucinda said.. "Hazel.." Ruby said.. "And Primrose.." Martha said.. "But we.." Lucinda said.. "Couldn't." Ruby said.. "Save them." Martha said.. "We are.." Lucinda said.. "So so.." Ruby said.. "Sorry." Martha said.. As Hazel, Primrose, Jacob and Elizabeth watched them with total amazement.. "I like the way you all talk like that." Hazel said with a giggle.. "Thank you." All three girls replied at once.. "Why do you not speak like that Cerci?" Primrose asked.. "I am not one of the sisters." Cerci said to them.. "But we are all related." Lucinda said with a smile..

"Mamma, can we have our ice cream now?" Hazel asked.. "Yes, of course.. Would you girls like some?" Elizabeth asked.. "No thank you." Lucinda replied like why would I want that for.. But Ruby, Martha and Cerci all had some.. So did Pflance.. Much to Lucinda's disgust.. When ice cream was over, Hazel and Primrose went to clean up the dishes.. Ruby and Martha went to help them.. While Cerci and Lucinda were asked to come into the lounge once more to talk to Elizabeth and Jacob.. "Now everyone has settled down, I would like to know who cursed our family.." Elizabeth asked the girls.. "Cerci?" Lucinda asked as she sat with Pflance.. "Our Grandmother. Mamma called her Mother." Cerci said.. "Mother Witch?" Jacob asked with shock.. "Hannah? Why did she curse us all?" Elizabeth asked.. "Aunt Winifred had made a black flame candle.. Which if it was lit on Halloween on a full moon, they could return from hell.. But only for one night." Cerci said.. "Oh my god, did they come back?" Elizabeth asked.. "Yes." Cerci said.. "Then Cerci and her friends thought it would be great to send them all back to hell!" Lucinda added with annoyance.. "So they are not here then?" Elizabeth asked.. "Do you see them?" Lucinda asked.. "Thank Lucifer in hell for that." Jacob said.. "Aren't our Dad's your brothers?" Cerci asked.. "Yes.. But the like Winifred, Mary, and Sarah were, well, not good Witches." Jacob said.. "No kidding, they tried to kill as many kids as they could when they returned.. But Cerci did not want that.." Lucinda said.. "If they had stayed, do you think you would be marrying Ethan next year?" Cerci asked.. "Stay out of this Cerci!" Lucinda yelled at her.. "I will then." Cerci replied standing and leaving the room.. When she had gone, Lucinda looked over at Elizabeth and Jacob.. "Don't worry, I made another Black Flame Candle.. They will return one day." Lucinda said with a wicked smile..

"We have to destroy that candle, Liz, if they come back again.. All hell will break loose." Jacob said to her, when they were alone.. "I know.. But I will have to enlist the help of the girls." Elizabeth said to him.. "No, they can not know.. Trust me, if you want to get information on those four.. You are going to have to get it through our girls.." Jacob said.. "Yes, they will need to trust them or they will not give us the information we need." Elizabeth said to her.. "We have to make sure your sisters never leave hell again." Jacob said.. "I know we do, but they are my family, and I miss them so much." Elizabeth said to him.. "I know my love, I know.. But we have been on the run for three hundred years because of their wicked ways.. We can not let the girls bring them back." Jacob said to her..

A few days later, Cerci came running down the stairs.. She was so excited, Thackeray was going to visit her today.. She had missed seeing him.. They had gone away for a trip to Los Angelis.. But he had called her to tell her he was home and coming to visit.. As was Joshua.. "Cerci, Cerci, are they here yet?" Martha asked as she ran down the stairs with her.. "No, I don't think so.. Unless someone else has let them in." Cerci replied.. Martha and Cerci then ran into the lounge to wait for the doorbell.. They both stopped short when they saw what was awaiting them.. Hazel and Primrose were sitting with Thackery, Ethan, Richard and Joshua.. The girls flirted shamelessly with them.. When they saw the girls Thackeray and Joshua stood up and looked at them with total shock.. "Joshua.." Martha said, rushing to his side with a smile.. He sighed with relief.. Cerci looked from him to the two girls, her eyes darkened.. Cerci had just one bad trait, she was extremely jealous of anyone spending time with her Thackeray..

"What is going on here?" Lucinda asked when she entered the room.. As all fell silent.. Hazel ran her hand over Richard's leg, while Primrose snuggled with Ethan.. "We were entertaining your .. friends while you were not here.." Primrose said with a smile. Lucinda raised her hand to zap Primrose, but she blocked it with ease.. "How dare you entertain MY BEAU!" Lucinda yelled at her.. While Thackeray moved away from the girls and towards Cerci.. By now Primrose had stood up and was now holding on to Ethan.. "I could take him from you if you like.. He is a nice looking mortal boy." Primrose said to her.. "If you really want him, then you can have him!" Lucinda yelled at her.. She then zapped poor old Ethan making him fall to the floor.. "Twist the bones and bend the back." Lucinda said.. "Itch-it-a-cop-it-a, Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a." Ruby and Martha chanted with Lucinda.. "Trim him of his baby fat." Lucinda said.. "Itch-it-a-cop-it-a, Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a." Ruby and Martha alone with Lucinda chanted.. "Give him fur, black as black." Lucinda said.. "NO! No more cats!" Cerci yelled as she got in their way.. "Step aside Cerci, or Thackeray will be a cat again for another three hundred years!" Lucinda yelled at her.. "You were a cat for three hundred years?" Primrose asked in shock.. "Yes.." Thackeray said as he stood behind Cerci.. "Wow, and I thought we had it bad." Hazel said standing.. "Stop this Madness Lucinda.." Cerci yelled at her.. Of course by now Elizabeth and Joshua had realized that there was something not right in the house.. They run into the lounge room to find a total mess..

Cerci stood to the side of the room with Thackeray standing behind her.. Lucinda, Ruby, and Marth were all tied together with a golden rope.. Primrose and Hazel were tied together with a red rope.. While Joshua, Ethan and Richard were all tied with a green rope.. Pflance sat at Lucinda's feet with a gold bow around her neck that glowed.. "What have you done?" Elizabeth yelled at Cerci.. "Mamma, she tied us up!" Primrose said with a sob.. "Because you were teasing Lucinda, Ruby and Martha.." Cerci replied.. "We were not!" Hazel said to her.. "Excuse me?" Cerci asked.. "I did nothing wrong." Lucinda said to Elizabeth.. "You tried to turn your own boyfriend into a cat." Cerci said.. "You did what?" Jacob asked in shock.. "Just like she helped turn Thackeray into one with our Mothers." Cerci said.. "You were a cat?" Elizabeth asked, in shock... "Yes, for three hundred years." Thackeray said... That is when it happened.. Lucinda, Ruby, Martha, Primrose and Hazel all began to laugh out loud.. "Why are they laughing?" Ethan asked.. "Because this is the most fun we have had in three hundred years." Lucinda replied with a giggle.. "Yes, it has been fun, hasn't it?" Cerci asked with a giggle.. "Not for me!" Thackeray said with annoyance.. "You had Cerci with you for two hundred of those years.. So stop complaining." Lucinda said to him.. "You were really a cat?" Jacob asked with a smile.. "Yes with thanks to the Sanderson Sisters." Thackeray said, glaring his way.. "Hey man I am sorry for you, but do you think your crazy girlfriend can let us out of this.. I really need to go to the bathroom now." Richard said to him.. "You did all this alone, Cerci?" Elizabeth asked.. "Yes." Cerci replied.. Elizabeth then tried to undo the spell, but she could not.. "Who did you say you were again?" Elizabeth asked.. "They created me, I am their child, their sister.. I am Enchantress." Cerci said to her..

Later as Elizabeth sat in her old chair from the Sanderson Sisters house.. She sighed then began her nightly talk with Jennifer.. She of course had no idea if she could hear her or not, but she would relay all the things that she had discovered about their girls.. "Cerci then tied them all up.. You would have been proud of her Jennifer.. She is one very powerful Witch.. She also loves her cousins more than anything in this world.. She would do anything for them, to protect them.. As they would for her.. The four of them hold a very special bond, dear sister.. I can see the look on Winifred's face now.. No one is more powerful than my Lucinda.. But you know like Winnie, Lucinda rules.. With the help and guidance from Cerci, Ruby and Martha.. I miss you all very much.. I can not wait for them to find some airhead virgin to light the next black flame candle.. This time I do hope you bring your husbands, and stay more than for just one night.. I must go now, Jacob is coming.. I love you Sisters.." Elizabeth said, blowing a kiss into the air as she stood and went to Jacob..

While the girls had all snuck into Lucinda's bedroom to sit and talk together.. "Now it might have been the most fun we have had in years.. But I am telling you now, if you ever tie me up again Cerci.. I will zap you right into hell with our Mamma's." Lucinda said to her.. "Never try and turn a boy into a cat again." Cerci said to her.. "Or a cat into a human." Pflance said to her.. "I can tell you, I would never try to best you in a fight, Cerci." Hazel said with a giggle.. "No way.. You can be vicious." Primrose said to her laughing.. "Can't we all.. Let us all be friends together.." Cerci said to them.. "Yes, let us all be friends together.. But if you ever try and flirt with Ethan again.." Lucinda said.. "I know you will zap me into hell with your Mamma's." Primrose said giggling.. "No, but I might turn you into a cat." Lucinda said with a giggle.. "I am so glad we found you all.." Hazel said.. "Us too." Ruby said as the girls all toasted to their new found friendship..

"Cerci did not!" Mary said with a bark.. "Yes she did." Jennifer said with a giggle.. "What did Martha do?" Sarah asked.. "She put up a good fight for Joshua.. She made Hazel and Primrose sick by calling in the spiders.. 'Spiders are my friend..' were the words she used.." Jennifer said with a smile. "I am so proud of our girls." Mary said.. "Who are we proud of?" Winifred asked when she arrived with Malachi.. "Our girls, Lucinda tied them all up for misbehaving." Jennifer said, winking at Mary and Sarah.. "She is a good girl." Winifred said.. "She also enchanted another black flame candle, Winnie.." Jennifer said with a smile.. "Of course she did.. She is my daughter.. She wants her Mamma back." Winifred said to them with a smile.. "Of course she does my love.. But next time I am going with you." Malachi said to her.. "Oh yes, we will surely outwit those stupid children this time!" Winifred said with delight.......................................
