Fantasy Horror Fiction

It was the perfect Halloween night in Pluckley village , the uncanny bone chilling wind with a smell of roasted pumpkin seeds in it , all the houses decorated with Jack-o’-lanterns and spooky stuff, all completed with a beautiful rare blue moon in the sky. With the night approaching towards its darkest hour , Dannie the hedge witch landed from her flying broom in the Screaming Woods forest just behind the village . She starts approaching towards the secret cottage of Laura the Green witch who resides in the same forest , the leaves creating the crackling sound as she is walking on them with her pointy shoes . She stopped as she reached to a grove of ghostly white redwoods . “Ezzilous Obilious Fearroh Quazire” , said Dannie as she waved her Quartz wand and the trees slowly glided to the side manifesting a hollow entry gate . She walks in and there comes the vintage wooden cottage of Laura the green witch today decorated with glowing ivy and Jack-o’-lanterns. Dannie’s Grey

eyes lit up as she saw Laura and Hannah the kitchen witch in the yard making their Halloween power potion in the cauldron.

“hahaha Happy Halloween Laura , Hannah “,she screamed with a shrill cracky excited voice.

 “Dannie ! “, Laura screamed and hugged her

“Welcome Dannie hahaha , Spooky Halloween”, said Hanna as she dropped a dragon’s eye and continued stirring her witch potion.

“ WOW ! you got mermaid tears and vulture’s feather too , this time the potion will be fantastic!” , said Dannie.

“ Yes! The potion will be perfect!”, Hanna squeaked .

“WOOOHOOOOHOOOOOO”,twin witches , Alison the sea witch and Rachel the cosmic witch came laughing on their brooms.

“Spooky Halloween Alison, Rachel!” wished Hanna , Dannie and Laura.

“ Yeah Happy witch’s new year !” both said .

“How have you guys been?” asked Dannie.

“Been a lot busy with the Cluster spell group “ said Rachel

“ And you Hanna , how is your married life with Freden the fire wizard going” asked Alison smirking.

“ Oh it’s lit except he sometimes burns down my kitchen stuff.”

”hahahahahaha” all laughed .

“ Hey nice outfit Rachel , how do you got the forbidden stardust on your hat?” asked Laura.

“ You all can have it too , “Cozalitus Vinazorah” she waved her wand and all of them were having beautiful rare silver forbidden stardust on their hats.

“That’s amazing !”

“ But where is our Black Magic queen, Suzy the dark witch?” asked Dannie.

“ Here I come my witches hahahahaha!” entered Suzy with her black cat Lucy !

“ SUZYYY!!” Dannie hooted and hugged her “ Happy Halloween , I missed you “!

“ Ugh Dannie ! its ‘SPOOKY’ Halloween , c’mon you are a hedge witch .”,Suzy said rolling her eyes and fixing her black robe painted with shark’s blood.

“ I became happy seeing you my evil partner , we are the only ones who practice black magi in our group “, said Dannie laughing loudly.

“ So now since everyone is here , let the fun begin ! Let’s start with the divination rituals and partying and then we also have to go scare the hell out of people. “said Hanna laughing evilly .

“ But Roselyn the healer witch is not here yet “ said Laura.

“ That’s strange she is very punctual “ said Rachel .

“Ugh leave her . She is so ‘nice’ she is a shame to the term “witch”. What is she a pinky princess ? Always helping others , casting her love spells and beauty spells , We are witches we establish terror , we scare , we are not lovely .” said Suzy taking a sip of the witch potion.

 But I do like her , she is peaceful and her love spells always work , she heals people too , our White witch.” Laura said.

“Ooh I know why she likes her , because of her love spells so that Laura could get along with her crush Jade the ice warlock “ said Rachel laughing.

“C’mon no way!” Laura said blushing .

“What ? Still Laura ? Such a looser .” said Suzy laughing.

“Oh Suzy are you perfect?”asked Laura rolling her mint green eyes.

“Without any doubt ! I am Suzy the dark with ,the strongest , most desirable , I don’t run behind wizards like you , they run behind me and who ever messed with me , I throw them there where the sun doesn’t shine” Suzy said savagely .

“Oh c’mon guys stop wasting time, Where is Roselyn ? We are getting late “.

“Let’s go out and find her.” Said Alison.

“Yeah it’s Halloween we can go out together and scare people too.”

“Sounds fun!” Suzy said with an evil grin.

They all climbed on their flying brooms and said loudly all together “Episy Skailum” and they all flew up in the air laughing dementedly and loudly.

“Let’s raid the Pluckley village!” shouted the witches.

Pluckley is already the most haunted village in Britain and the witches were ready spice it even more.

“Hey look three little kids are going for trick-o’-treating witch there baskets full of candies, chocolates and caramel. “Hanna pointed down at the street.

“Watch me!” said Dannie

“Tsura Menaktza!” said Dannie and clapped and ‘WOOSH’ ! she disappeared !

She went down still being invisible and took the candy basket from the kids . The kids could only see the basket flying in the air and they screamed with terror “ RUN! RUN! The ghosts are here.”

They started to run and just then Suzy showed herself in front of them blocking their way and screamed it her shrill , cruel voice “ WE ARE NOT GHOSTS!! WE ARE WITCHES STUPID KIDS. I hate it when we scare people and people credit those weak ghosts instead of us , you fools , let me teach you a lesson. Kazaracuza !” ,she waved her Raven wand and the kids froze.

“Hahaha now, now they know who are witches .”, said Alison laughing evilly.

“ Prezataze”, Rachel enchanted the reverse spell and the kids were normal again. “I think they got it now. Let’s proceed .” 

The witches flew on their brooms and the kids almost fainted with horror!”

“Hahahaha I am getting hyper excited ! Quazaka Quazine! “ shouted Rachel and the sky got covered with silver , golden , purple , green magic dust !

“ Woohoo!” They all were screaming and riding broomsticks with joy.

“Look that fat old guy is not giving the kids candies.” Alison said.

“Hakitza sitxcousa!” Hanna waved her Topaz wand and the old man’s tongue fell down.

He helplessly started to hyperventilate and the kids got scared.”

“Take his candies kids!” shouted Laura.

“The spell will break after Sunrise old man , be kinder next time.”Said Hanna .

They all went ahead.

“Hanna I really miss the creepy cake this year. Have you made it?”Asked Dannie.

“I need Vampire’s ashes to make it. Suzy have you brought the Vampire’s ashes I asked for?”Asked Hanna.

“ Oops! Forgot!.” Said Suzy.

 “ Oh no” Dannie said sadly.

“Hey ! look there is Roselyn! She is coming towards us.” shouted Rachel.

Roselyn was approaching them riding on her broom, her pink hair flowing and she was looking tensed and her beautiful face covered with blood, looked like someone attacked her.

“Roselyn why so late! And what happened to you?” asked Laura panicking.

“Even though I don’t like you Roselyn I kill who so ever did this to you , I will fight for you being a fellow witch.” Said Suzy in a raging loud voice.

” It’s an emergency! The family who lives on the outskirts of this village is in danger. We have to save them.”

“Okay we are not nanny or some charity. We are witches we don’t save.” Said Dannie in an annoyed tone.

“Do you know the danger? It’s the Vampires , they came today to feast on human blood. I tried to fight them but they were stronger.”,Said Roselyn.

“No one can be stronger than us witches! How dare those lowly bloodsucking creatures ! Let’s tell them who is stronger guys , C’mon let’s go” Screamed Suzy .

“Yes ! Let’s knock those retards “ Said Rachel.

  All the seven witches stared heading towards the house with full anger. They reached there and saw a vampire who just sucked the blood out of a little six year old boy , the boy was on the verge of death. There were four of them.

“Expelliarmus” ,Suzy casted the spell and the vampire was thrown away with wind force.

“Kazaracuza” Alison casted the freezing spell but it did not worked.

“ What are you doing? Ice makes the Vampires stronger.” Shouted Dannie.

“OH sorry “ said Alison.

“The vampires made them invisible. Now what?” screamed Laura.

“Let the starlight do its work , Supramus visilabe “ enchanted Rachel and the stardust made the Vampires visible.

“Gregazicorus” Suzy casted the fire spell and the Vampires burnt to ashes.

“Woohoo! Victory screamed the witches!”

“Roselyn ? Where is she ?” asked Laura.

“There!” pointed Alison where Roselyn was healing the little kid Alex.

“Sephora switeera!” Roselyn casted the healing spell and the kid slowly started to open his eyes , he was revived.

All the kids were staring the witches in surprise. Alex came back to his senses and slowly started standing up. All the other members of the family rushed to see if Alex is fine. His mother turned back to thank the witches but they were already gone, flew away on their brooms.

“Here Hanna , now we have the Vampire ashes.”, Said Suzy.

“Oh yes ! now we can make the creepy cake.” Said Hanna excitingly.

“Wooohoooo this is the best Halloween ever!” , Exclaimed all the witches and flew back to continue their party.
