Willow

P.28

Willow sits in the library, reading as Caroline walks in "Hey Aunt Care. What's with the smile?" she asks. "Klaus annoyed me so, I told him that I can't wait to see what he has planned for our special day tomorrow." Caroline responds. Willow frowns in confusion "There isn't anything special about tomorrow." she tells her Aunt. "No, but there is something special about watching the colour leave his face as panic takes over." Caroline smiles. "That's evil. Brilliant, but evil." Willow laughs. "I know, what you reading?" Caroline asks with a smile. "Little Women. I'm waiting to see if I get a response from Harry today." Willow responds. "Still nothing?" Caroline asks. "No, I'm getting worried." Willow tells her Aunt. "If we don't hear anything by the end of the month we'll work out a plan." Caroline tells her, making Willow smile and nod. "Willow, you have a visitor!" Davina calls. "Coming Mum!" Willow calls back, running out the library. Walking into the hallway, Willow squeals "Uncle Josh!" she exclaims, running and jumping into her Uncle's arms. "Hey Pumpkin, how was school?" Josh smiles, hugging her tightly. "It is amazing! I have pictures I can show you and all my books!" Willow smiles as they break apart. "You can show me in a minute, first I have something for you." Josh tells her, holding out a small box.

Willow smiles and takes it, opening it to find a silver necklace with a red stone "It's beautiful Uncle Josh, I love it." she smiles. "I got it enchanted to help with your blood lust while at school. I know you've been struggling without your family being there to help you." Josh explains. Willow smiles and hugs him again "I love it." she tells him again. "Pass it here, I'll help you put it on." Josh tells her, taking the necklace. Willow nods and moves her hair so he can clasp it for her "There." Josh smiles, making her put her hair back down. "Low, you seen my new Quidditch hoodie?" Marcus calls. "...no?" Willow responds, acting like she isn't wearing it. "You've stolen it again, haven't you?" Marcus asks her. "...maybe." she tells him. "Fine, just give it back by the end of the week." Marcus sighs, walking down the stairs. "Thank you!" Willow grins. "Marcus, this is my best friend, Josh. Josh, this is Marcus. He's the boy that Kol and I adopted." Davina smiles. "Nice to meet you." Marcus smiles. "You too. Davina and Kol have said good thing about you." Josh smiles back. "Marc, look at the necklace Uncle Josh got me, it's going to help me with my blood lust." Willow smiles. "It's beautiful, Low, just like my little sister." Marcus smiles, throwing her over his shoulder. "Agh! Marc! Put me down!" Willow giggles. "I'm good." Marcus tells her with a smile.

Marcus walks into the main living room with Willow still over his shoulder "Anyone want a child?" he asks. Kol looks up from his book and laughs "It's not funny Dad." Willow pouts. "It kind of is Baby Witch." Kol tells her with a chuckle. Willow narrows her eyes at him "Marc, put me down and I'll let you prank Dad with me. If not, I'll prank both of you." she decides. Marcus immediately puts her on her feet, making her grin and look at Kol "Watch your back Daddy." she smiles sweetly, walking out and dragging Marcus behind her. "What you two doing?" Elijah asks, spotting his niece and nephew heading to the kitchen. "Getting supplies to prank Dad." Willow responds, making him chuckle. "As long as I don't get caught in the crossfire this time." he tells them. "You won't." the two of them respond. "What do we need?" Marcus asks. "Easy. Pepsi bottle." Willow smiles, grabbing the drink from the fridge. "Why?" Marcus asks. "Watch and learn Brother Dear." she smiles, shaking the bottle before putting it on the counter and grabbing two other bottles "Here." she says, opening a bottle and passing it to Marcus. "Why do I need an open one?" he asks. "So Dad doesn't suspect anything." Willow tells him, putting the shaken bottle back in the fridge.

The two siblings sit in the kitchen, tossing popcorn into each others mouths as Kol walks in "Surprised you two aren't setting up a prank." he remarks. "Too soon, you're expecting it." Willow smiles. Kol nods and spots the Pepsi bottles on the floor next to them "You have the last ones?" he asks. "No, there's another in the fridge." Marcus tells him. Kol nods and grabs the bottle out the fridge "Make sure to clean up any stray popcorn." he tells them. "We will." the siblings respond as he walks out. Willow grins as they stop and listen "Agh! Willow! Marcus!" Kol exclaims. "Run." Willow laughs, running for the back door with Marcus on her heels. Running to the broom shed, they grab their broom and quickly take flight as Kol runs out after them "That's cheating!" he tells them. "No it's not." Willow grins, hovering out of reach of their Pepsi drenched father. "It's called using the tools we have at our dispense." Marcus adds. "What's all the noise?" Finn asks, walking out the house. "They're cheating." Kol tells his brother. "Fizzy drink prank?" Finn asks. "Yep." Willow grins. "Nice one." Finn nods. "Why are you on their side?!" Kol exclaims. "Because I don't want to be next on their list." Finn responds. Kol huffs and looks at his children "You coming down anytime soon?" He asks. "Probably not." Marcus tells him. "Thought not." Kol responds, walking back into the house.

Willow frowns "Dad?" she calls, confused about where he's gone. Kol walks back out with a super soaker and starts firing water at the two of them. "Agh! Dad!" Willow exclaims. "How's this fair?!" Marcus asks as he tries to dodge the water. "I'm using the tools at my dispense." Kol tells them. Davina walks out with Josh and laughs, taking pictures on her phone "This usually happen?" Josh asks. "Yeah, they've been using their brooms to get away from their pranks for the last three weeks." Davina nods. "Mum! Help!" Willow exclaims. Davina smiles and uses her magic to shoot water at them "She meant help us, not Dad!" Marcus tells her. "He seemed out numbered." Davina smiles. Josh walks up behind Davina and chucks water over her head "I'm with the kids on this one." he tells her as she shrieks. Marcus laughs as he swoops down and picks Josh up on the back of his broom "Hi Mum, bye Mum." he grins. Willow giggles and shoots off with Marcus following behind her "Hey Uncle Josh, you want to meet your first ever dragon?" she asks.
