The Spellmans went through their school day like normal, but by the way Sabrina kept looking at the clock, Connor knew sparks were definitely gonna fly when they got back home.
He was right, upon entering the kitchen Sabrina immediately said, "Aunties, we have a big problem!"
"Mephistopheles save us from the from the melodramatics of a teenage witch," Aunt Zelda responded, causing Connor to snicker.
"How was school, loves," Aunt Hilda asked the siblings.
"Fine," Sabrina said, "But Susie's Uncle Jessie has been possessed by a demon."
"Oh," Aunt Hilda asked, "How do you know that, love?"
"Oh, only all my friends," Sabrina responded, "While I was at the Academy or maybe while we were dealing with Batibat, Uncle Jesse attacked Harvey. They had to restrain him."
"Sabrina, cases of actual demonic possession are extremely rare," Aunt Zelda said, "Despite what the False God and his propaganda machine would have you believe."
"Have they called a doctor yet," Aunt Hilda asked, "Because they need to rule out every other possibility first."
"Like epilepsy, schizophrenia, Tourette's, or maybe he's just gone off the rails on a crazy train," Connor added on, his aunts nodding in agreement.
"Aunties, my mortal friends are talking about demons," Sabrina said, "What if they start talking about witches next? The entire coven would be exposed."
"Who's talking about witches," Aunt Zelda asked, "Give me their names and I'll make sure they stop talking about anything. Permanently. It's just terrible when teenagers slip into comas, isn't it, Hilda?"
"Susie is my friend, I won't leave her in a house with a dangerous, possibly possessed man," Sabrina insisted.
"We are not to invoke ourselves in mortal affairs," Aunt Zelda fired back, "but... tell your friend not to touch the inhabited person. That contact would make them vulnerable to attacks."
Sabrina stammered out, "What kind of attacks?"
"Psychological," Connor said, "Demons prey on your fear, your shame, etcetera.
"Quite right," Aunt Zelda confirmed.
"Harvey, Roz, and Susie had to tie Uncle Jesse up," Sabrina explained, "They all touched him and they've all had visions or visitations since then."
"Get them to bathe in a bit of blessed water from the Sea of Galilee," Aunt Hilda suggested, "That always does the trick."
Connor took his leave from the kitchen before Sabrina and the Aunties and headed for Ambrose's room, eager to see if he had any higher-level mending grimoires. He did, setting two in Connor's hands before Sabrina burst through his door.
