Cherry and the Twitches

chapter 21

While that was going on, Camyrn's birthday ball was a blast. Everyone was in costume, dancing, having a good time, unaware of any danger, then again, they were mortal.

"Ah, there's our birthday princess." Beth said to her best friend.

Camryn wore a frilly pink dress with a crown and a mask above her forehead, but looked slightly annoyed. "I'm not a princess," she said to Beth. "Why does everybody keep calling me that?"

"Um, because you're dressed like a princess?" Beth remarked, obviously enough.

"Oh," Camryn remembered now. "Right, sorry..." she then lowered her mask.

"Cranky little princess, but a princess nonetheless." Beth then smirked and linked arms with her to walk off and mingle.

"Just stay calm, Camryn, nothing terrible is going to happen while me and Mo are around." Atticus whispered to her.

Camryn looked to them and shrugged as she went on with Beth.

"Okay, we need costumes," Mo said as they went to Camryn's room, they both stuck out like sore thumbs. "Do you know any costume spells?"

"I guess I could make one up..." Atticus shrugged. "Even if I'm part Wiccan from Aunt Delilah..."

"Do whatever, just don't make me look bad." Mo replied.

"I would never dream of such a thing!" Atticus smiled to her. He then concentrated the best that he could. "'We need a Halloween costume plan, we confess, help me and Mo dress for success'!" he recited.

In a bolt, Atticus was dressed like Harry Potter while Mo was dressed like Wendy the Good Little Witch.

"It'll do..." Mo shrugged about her costume transformation.

"Yeah, these costumes will have to do." Atticus said.

Mo shrugged and walked back out with him so they could now blend into the Halloween party and help keep an eye on Camryn.

A few of the guests seemed to have issues about kids being at the party, but so Camryn wouldn't throw them out, they didn't complain.

"If you feel anything weird, let me know." Mo told her boyfriend.

"Roger that." Atticus nodded.

Mo then decided to get themselves a couple of drinks before they would dance to see if the punch was any good. It was orange colored with foam at the top. She saw that it was made from orange soda with some sherbet in order to look spooky for the season.

"Ooh, nice touch." Mo smiled. She took the glasses and carefully took them back to Atticus.

"So, where is the twin?" a girl squealed to Camryn, rushing by Mo and Atticus, nearly making Mo drop the glasses. "I have been dying to hear all the details!"

"Oh, um, she isn't coming." Atticus informed her.

"What?" Beth frowned. "Why?"

"Turns out we didn't have that much in common." Camryn frowned.

"Really?" Beth asked. "I mean, aside from those horrible jeans... And that hair, don't get me started... I thought she was brainy. You two seemed totally alike."

"I don't know... Maybe..." Camryn shrugged. "Only on the outside, I guess."

"The point is Alex isn't going to be coming to the party." Mo said.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Beth cooed. "What is she? Like, kind of vapid and shallow?"

"No, me," Camryn argued. "I'm the vapid and shallow one."
