Mary Lou
The GoodGhouls were late on their newest video. I walked around my room, trying to figure out what to do.
"You're gonna wear out the floorboards, Lou lou." Daya told me from her cushioned spot on my bed. She was sitting there, talking to me, while playing with my stuff. I stopped pacing and sat down next to her. I grabbed my computer and opened it up. I stared at it for a minute and slammed it shut. I flopped on top of Daya and groaned.
"Get..off you...fat pineapple!" she shoved my off and to the floor. I plopped there and didn't move. I was trying to think of anything the GoodGhouls could do. Dayas head leaned over me.
"Did I kill you?" I nodded, not really pa\ying attention. She rolled off the bed to sit next to me.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, i can't find anything for you guys to do a video…" a huge explosion shook the house and interrupted me. I jumped up and ran to the hallway. The others were looking out of their rooms too. Another loud explosion echoed from upstairs, but not as loud. I grabbed my camcorder and ran with the others up to the attic. It wasn't perfect, but I did manage to get an ok shot of everyone running up the stairs. We all went to the green door and Joan turned to the camera in his TV mode.
"Were staying at Blackwell Manor with a suspected witch and loud bangs started coming from the attic, where he's staying." he creaked open the door. There was a cauldron floating in the middle of the room with multicolored flames and smoke pouring from it. Ezzie was wearing a white shirt under overalls. His clothes were stained with many colors and powders. He threw a shriveled hand in and the pot hissed. He ducked behind a table that had been turned over and I slammed the door. There was a huge bang and the door bowed out. Joan opened it again to show Ezzie standing in front of the -now docile- pot. He dipped a finger in and licked it. His hair sparked and steam shot out his ears.
"Holy cannoli!" he shouted happily. "I've done it! Ziltra, donmarow vantis!" he threw up his hands. They melted and dripped down his arms. His entire figure melted into a puddle of multi colored goop. Almost immediately, the goop started reforming again but this time, as a dragon. I sucked in a breath to keep from laughing\crying\dying from cuteness. He was a light purple, short and round. With deep purple wings and claws. It was so cute! I glanced at the others and all their eyes were like little anime hearts. Ezzie looked at himself and sighed.
"Several kinks but i'll get it right." he turned his head to look at his back.
"I have wings!!" he shrieked loud enough to wake the dead. I dissolved into silent giggles. Why is this funny?! A witch just used a magic potion and turned into a dragon! -but a tiny cute one, said a little voice in my head. Joan grabbed the camera out of my hands and walked right into the room. Dragon Ezzie was facing the cauldron with his back to us. Joan crept up behind him and tapped his shoulder. Ezzie jumped and spun around.
"Would you like to have a.." Joans voice was cut off but Ezzies quick words.
"Mani veta, de mordis!" Grey, smokey chains shot out Joans chest and into Ezzies hands. Joan fell, lifeless, and without a single sound. Not even when his head hit the floor with a crack. Daya screamed and launched herself at Ezzie the Dragon. He snapped out a quick word and she fell to the floor, asleep. Lorali fainted right next to me. I was to only one left standing. Ezzie shifted back into his previous form and immediately started apologizing.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't expect that and she attacked me…."
"Witch! I was right!'' I shrieked and scrambled down the stairs. I ran to my room and slammed the door. I needed a weapon! I ripped the box of my stuff out from under my bed and threw it open. I rustled around init and pulled out my taser. I had bought a taser a couple of years back after I had almost gotten mugged. I ran back upstairs to attack the witch and found nothing. He wasn't there and everyone was gone. I tried the door. It was locked from the inside. There wasa flash of light and sound under the cracks of the door and I rammed my shoulder into it.
"Just a minute!" Ezzie called, his voice strained. I rammed my shoulder again. I kept smashing into the door. The screws started to come out of the wall and I broke the door with a final kick. I fell inwards and I rushed in. Joan was floating in the air with that ghostly chain wrapped around him. Ezzie stood near him, and my friends -now conscious- watched him. I charged in and slammed into Ezzie. He hit his head on the table and collapsed. Joan fell to the floor and the chain slowly unwound and entered his mouth. I tried to grab it but it was incorporeal.
"Guys, help me!'' I yelled at Daya, Lorali, and Miky. Daya shot up and tried to help but Miky and Lorali were in shock. Joan swallowed the chain and his heart started beating again. He held his head and groaned.
"Ohhh! My head! Did I just fall from the ceiling?"
"Yea, pretty much." I told him and he looked up sharply.
"Wait, was that a dream?" I shook my head. "The witch a-and curse and…" he noticed Ezzie on the floor, unconscious and yelped.
"My God! Did you kill him???" Daya went and checked his pulse.
"Nope. Not dead. Just knocked out.'' She gave me a side eye. "And no wonder too. Lou Lou here body slammed him into the table.'' I walked over to Ezzie and looked at him. A bit of blood trickled down from his head and onto the floor and I felt a twinge of pity. I hadn't meant to hurt him. I thought he had been hurting my friends.
"So what do we do with him?" I asked. I've never done anything like this before. Joan spoke up.
"I saw we tie him up, integrate him, and get his powers." I spun and glared at him. He shrugged. I opened my mouth to yell at him when Lorali spoke.
"Good idea! This will be great for the show! We can say we're witch hunters with supernatural powers!" miky nodded and I stared at them.
"Have you lost your mind?! How would we do that? And what if…"
"I agree." Daya said quietly. She looked at me happily. "It's a dream come true! Magic powers! My little nerd heart is going crazy right now!" they walked over to Ezzie and picked him up.
"Wait!" they carried him to the door and downstairs. Daya stopped ato talk to me.
"Whats up Lou Lou?"
"Whats up?!?" i exploded. "This is kidnapping! If he was truly a monster then it might be ok, but lets just talk about this! Well go to jail!" Daya set her mouth in a tight line and glared at me.
"All my life ive been a misfit, thinking of magic and monsters. The big nerd Daya, lets go make fun of her fo believing in magic and stuff! Well now I have a chance to actually have magic! I'm not going to just give that up!" She spun on her heel and slammed into Jack. Dean stood beside him with his hands on his hips.
"Whats going on here?" I spoke before Daya.
"The GoodGhouls have kidnapped Ezzie because he's a witch." Dean and Jack stared at me for a full minute before laughing.
"Wow. that was so bad, i didn't even believe it!" Dean said and they walked away. Daya smiled at me and flounced down the stairs. I raced down after her. I followed them outside and to the car. They threw Ezzie in the back seat and took off. I had no car! What should i do?! I noticed an old broom leaning against the door with a faded blue ribbon on the handle. The very same one Ezzie always had with him. I debated it over in my head.
Romantic: help him! He's so cute!!!
Logical: why help him? He's never done anything for you! Besides, you don't even know who to fly this thing if it works.
Manager: DO IT AND RECORD THE DRAMA! SELL! PROFIT! MONEYYYY!
Crazy: RuN rAbBiT RuN!
Golem: Hes now my pReSiOsssss, save the precios!!!
Me: Eh, wtf. Let's give it a go.
I listened to my own voice and grabbed the broom. I swung on top of it like in Harry Potter. It was like a super wedgie and I hadn't even gotten off the ground! Now how to start this up? Still being a Potter fan I shouted,
"Up and forward!" nothing. I leaned forward and it lifted. I slid off and onto the ground. I popped back up and tried again. The broom stayed hovering where i had left it every time i fell (6 times). I finally managed to get the hang of it and realized the car had disappeared. And I had no idea where they were going! I barely had time to form this thought when a feathered missile collided with my head. Corvus! He would know! I threw him off and he perched on the hovering broom.
"Do you know where Ezzie is?" how stupid. Im talking to a bird.to my suprise he shook his head. I was surprised he had even known what i was saying!
"What do you mean you don't know? How can i find him?" he flew up to the open attic window and came out a minute later with a jar in his beak. He dropped it in myhands.
"Tamed Will-O-Wisps" i read from the tag. I looked at him. "How on earth am i supposed to use this? Im not a witch!" he nudged the tag and flipped it over. Take a few and whisper your location into your hand. Release and follow. Hmm. fairly simple. I did as instructed.
"Ezzie" i whispered and opened my hand. The wispy blue balls floated up and towards the town. I gingerly got on the broom and flew with them.
