Piper

Wax Museum

"Our field trips are an opportunity for you to enter the world of mystical power."

- Frederick Lenz

As soon as the rest of the group gathered back together, they all headed out into the unknown since they only relied on where Lenore would take them.

Follow that cat!

That message was written in their minds as if it was just implanted in their brains. A sign as if it said 'take me to your leader'. And only one would know who was behind that scheme.

arlier, Tabitha explained to Astrid and Hansel what James said and how Lenore was about to punish him again due to his stupidness.

The two laughed as they forecasted that the prankster would be no match for a witch contender. Obviously, James did not learn his lesson the first time around when he asked why the cat followed them to the apartment building.

James was one who did not think before he spoke and that's what led him into trouble. That's also why in school, he was known by the principal as he usually was sent there by teachers who didn't tolerate his attitude.

And in some cases, that was what happened to the witch who somehow learned to forgive the young boy, as she sensed he was just like her; a prankster.

It was similar to Lenore's foolishness, as it got her into this feline's mess in the first place.

Turns out that when Lenore was still in human form, she mistakenly made a warlock angry as she made several mistakes, and one involved his personal souvenir that was obtained from Egypt.

A gift from the pharaohs of long ago - a golden statue of one of the wisest cats to be exact. But now the golden statue melted for Lenore accidentally bumped into it as he reprimanded her.

Not knowing who the statue belonged to nor of its hidden meaning, she wiggled her nose to save it but the wrong spell was drawn, and soon the 200 billion-year-old relic was damaged.

And just like James's visits to the principal office, Lenore was punished and transformed into a cat before she could even protest. The warlock had it with her consistent errors and took her special wand away.

And so Lenore only had one thing to look forward to from that day forward and that was when she would be called by the Witches of Warwick.

She was good friends with their leader, Gretchen, who promised Lenore a job. Lenore was already tired from chasing mice and running away from dogs who thought she was an actual animal.

These consistent habits that she accumulated occurred because she was in fact now a cat, and it drove her nuts.

But once she learned about Piper and a witch in training who needed help, Lenore quickly signed up for it, no matter how risky the task might be as Gretchen tried to warn her, Lenore was up for it.

Lenore didn't let go of the handkerchief she acquired from the apartment, and like a dog who was trained to sniff the scent; it led her to an old wax museum after following its trail. The smoggy windows of the building looked like it hadn't been used for a long time and there wasn't any sign of patrons entering the building. Yet, brave Tabitha walked closer to one of the windows and wiped some of the dirt off the window to get a look at what was inside.

She could make out a wax dummy of a famous actress wearing dark-colored pants, but couldn't make out who it was. Or if it was even a dummy at all. In fact, it resembled to be like a human being that just stood still.

Irked with the idea of going inside, she asked Lenore why she believed Piper would be hiding inside. A wax museum was not what she had in mind of visiting and wondered if the cat had gone bonkers.

"I know what you are thinking Tabby. I'm baffled myself on why the scent led me here. But it seems like the right place. Abandoned, dirty, and unused ... yes this appears to be somewhere an evil spirit would be hiding, but the question is why. And that's what we need to find out."

And just like that the doors magically opened as if it was expecting visitors.
