"My only love sprung from my only hate" | CAOS

Chapter 2

The rest of the day flew by, seeing as after drama Sabrina only had 2 more classes. When she finally got home, her family members were pretty much in the same positions that they had been in when she left that morning, apart from Ambrose who was not present in the kitchen. Aunt Zelda was taking drags from a cigarette as she paced around the kitchen talking to Hilda, her voice harsh and cutting.

"You told that old bookstore owner that you're a witch? You barely know the man!"

"I only told him after he told me that he is possessed by an incubus!" Hilda responded, not looking up from the vegetables that she was cooking on the stove.

Sabrina figured now would be a good time to interject before the two of them got into the inner workings of what it was like to be with an incubus and what the proper precautions were.

"Hi Aunties, how were your days?"

"Good deary, how was your day at school?" Hilda said back sweetly, as Zelda just stared at Sabrina.

"It was okay. We were assigned a project in drama, I was wondering if my partner could come over tomorrow."

Hilda was quick to respond, "Of course, do we know them? What's their name?"

"No, you don't know him. His name is Nicholas Scratch, he's on the football team."

"This one's not a witch hunter, is he?" Zelda asked, her eyes narrow.

"I told you, Aunt Zee, Harvey is not a witch hunter. And no, I don't think he is," and she didn't plan on finding out. She wasn't about to just tell Nick that she was a witch. After seeing how Harvey reacted, she didn't think that she would tell anyone else that she was a witch apart from Roz and Theo, even if she was close with them.

"I assume that you didn't think that Harvey was a witch hunter either, yet here we are. Your Aunt Hilda and I have a meeting with the Council tomorrow, so don't do anything stupid while this boy is over and we're away. I'll warn Ambrose to keep an eye on you as well, " Zelda said with a stern face.

"Warn me about what?" Ambrose asked, coming up from the morgue.

"Sabrina has someone coming over tomorrow to work on a school project, a young boy name Nicholas Scratch," Hilda responded, "we just want you to keep an ear out."

"Is he a warlock? With a name like that, he sure sounds it."

"I don't know, and I'm sure as Heaven not going to ask," Sabrina responded.

"Well, maybe I'll just have to ask for you then," Ambrose teased.

"Ambrose, no, Nick is just a dumb jock and I don't need you harassing him while he's over."

"Okay, okay cous, I'll just have to feel a vibe from him when I meet him then"

Sabrina just looked at him, her face deadpan serious, pretending to be annoyed at her nosy cousin's antics. She then turned on her heel and walked out of the kitchen and up to her room. Following close behind her was Salem and as she closed the door to her bedroom, he jumped up onto the middle of her bed.

"Move over Salem, your laying right in the center," Sabrina said to the black cat, who just meowed in annoyance but still moved. Sabrina laid in her bed and took out her phone to check her notifications. She had messages from the group chat with her friends, one from Roz with a list of films that were showing during the marathon on Friday night, another from Theo asking if anyone wanted to come to his basketball game on Wednesday night. Sabrina quickly typed that she would come and watch as long as her aunts were okay with it. She also had a text from 'Juliet', which confused her at first until she remembered that's what Nick had put as his contact name. The message was him asking if she had any word on if he could come over tomorrow.
