Finding the Next Head of the Witches Council

chapter 8

There was a young teenage witch girl who looked around the age of fourteen. She had ebony hair and wore a purple dress with matching gloves and had emerald eyes.

Jackson walked over to her and tugged on her skirt. "Hi, I'm Jackson, can you tell me where I am?"

"Where are you?" the witch girl laughed. "You're kidding, right?"

"Should I recognize this place?" Jackson asked.

"You're in the Supernatural Realm where witches roam around." the witch gril replied.

"You're a witch!?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah, aren't you?" the girl asked.

"No, I'm a mortal.'" Jackson stated.

The witch laughed. "That's funny."

"Why?" Jackson asked.

"Because now I have to turn you into a grasshopper," the girl said before snapping her fingers and turning Jackson into a grasshopper in a jar, bent down, picked him up, and walked away. "You'll become my new pet."

"Put him down this instant!" Harvey and Salem told her.

The witch girl turned her head and glared. "Hey, he's mine now, he broke the rule!"

Salem did a double take. "Lucinda, is that you?"

The witch girl looked at the black cat and came closer in surprise and alarm. "Grandpa Salem?"

"Wait, this is your niece?" Harvey asked.

"Salem, you can talk?!" Jackson asked, surprised.

"She's my granddaughter... I mean meow! Meow!" Salem mewed like a cat once he heard the voice of Sabrina's son.

"Grandpa Salem, what're you doing here?" Lucinda scratched behind the cat's ears. "You know Drell hates seeing you."

Salem sighed in defeat.

"Okay, what the heck is going on?!" Jackson asked.

"Never mind that, we gotta get you out of here," Harvey said. "By the way, why is my son a grasshopper?"

"Oh, it's a rule..." Salem said. "Any mortal who passes through this realm must be turned into a creepy crawly thing."

"That's the rule," Lucinda said, then handed the jar to Harvey. "Here's your son, but the jar is yours to keep."

"Change him back." Salem told her.

"I can't." Lucinda said.

"I know you're a cat now, but can't you change him back?" Harvey asked the cat. "Miranda DuBare gave you that new collar."

"Lucinda has to change him back herself," Salem said. "Do it, Lucy, or else!"

"Or else what?" Lucinda folded her arms.

"Or else I'll... Uhh..." Salem paused. "Uh, gimme a sec..."

"Uh-huh, sure, you do that." Lucinda said.

"I mean it, Lucinda, turn Jackson back into a human!" Salem scolded.

"Later, guys." Lucinda walked away then.

"Lucinda, you get back here right now or else I'll... Darn..." Salem pouted. "Sorry, Harvey, teenagers, huh?"

"Please! Turn me back into a human please!" Jackson begged the teenage witch.

"It's the rules!" Lucinda called back as she left.

"Oh, Jackson, I'm so sorry..." Harvey sighed. "I guess this is a good time to tell you, but... Your mom's a witch."
