The Adventures of Sebella Spellman

Chapter 2

To answer Sabrina's questoins our Aunts had the High Priest, Father Blackwood, come to help her. It was a big deal to have him in our home, let alone write a letter or something.

"She'll be home soon, Father." Aunt Zelda said as I brought some tea in, setting it down on the table.

"Thank you young lady." He said and I nodded my head.

"Father may I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course child."

"I've grown up, with this faith. Learning everything I can and living by it. By the Dark Lord."

"Your Aunts have told me. It's very rare to find a child with your devotion. Your question."

"Can I be baptized? I want to follow in my father's steps, to join the Church of Night. To study at the Academy. The problem we've been facing is-"

"Your mortality. Yes I know. We've been running out of time, waiting for an answer. Understand Sebella, we've never encountered a half witch like your sister, let alone a child born of witch blood but, no magic. This isn't something for us to take lightly."

"Is there anyway to get an answer before my birthday?"

"I shall see what I can do. If not by your birthday then there is still time. When the answer is given, we shall go from there."

"Thank you, Father." I said and lowered my head to him.

"Sebella, dear would you mind going back to your current studies?" Aunt Zelda asked.

"I can't be here with Sabrina?"

"Well it's just, after this morning darling, your energy just gets out of wack around your sister currently." Aunt Hilda explained. "We just want to keep the peace a bit right now."

"I understand, Aunties." 

I walked upstairs to my room. I didn't understand. My energy is only like that because it angered me, what Sabrina was doing. She has the option to do these things, while I'm shoved to the side waiting for an anwser that will never come.

The next morning I was at my locker talking to Billy. He apologized for his behavior the past week. We started talking about studying in the library during free period when his friends came over.

"Hey Bill whatcha doing with Spellman?" Carl asked.

"Talking like civilized human beings. Is that alright with you Carl?" Billy went with his friends and I stayed at my locker.

"What's this?" I heard Billy say and looked over at them. They were by Roz and Sabrina's poster for their new club. "I thinking we need to redecorate a little bit. What do you think?"

"Thinking never was any of your strong suits." I said not even looking at them anymore.

"You got something to say Spellman?" One of them asked, again I didn't look up from my notes.

"Said it all already."

"Women's Intersectional Creative Cultural Association huh? Oh man, well, look at this." Billy went and grabbed the poster off the wall.

"Billy come on, seriously." I said putting my books in my locker. I turned back and he was ripping it up while his friends laughed. "Billy!" I rushed over just to be pushed back into the lockers by Seth.

"Can they even call themselves women?" I walked over and shoved Billy into the wall. I knew the comment was about Susie.

"Are you serious right now? Can you ever stop?"
