they’re saying, but when we mentioned Ursula’s name, they just scoffed. I suppose they know a witch can’t place a Class A Hex on the same person twice, so they have no fear of her.”
“So we’re done, right? It really all worked out, right?” I could barely believe myself.
“It seems so. Perfect Karma for each of them.”
“Now what do we do with these twelve werebears?”
“You have to transport them to the last place they were when you cast the spell, Romania. It puts some distance between us if anything should come up later.”
“Do you know where—” I started to ask.
“Speaking of the werebears, there they are now,” Randy interrupted, pointing to the trail that led to the spring.
“You may want to get your cameras ready because you are about to get a treat.”
Gertie gulped. “Sweet Jaysus! Now that’s something you don’t see every day.”
My giant bear lumbered into the yard, bathed in the magical blue-white glow of the full moon. He was surrounded by twelve naked men, each of them an absolute specimen of mouthwatering hotness.
“My calendar came to life!” Randy cheered. “Excuse me while I get a closer look.”
“Feast your eyes for a few,” Ezzy tapped her foot, “seconds. Okay, say goodbye to these sexy beasts.”
“Goodbye, sexy beasts!” Gertie cheerfully waved.
Ezzy spun her broom and mumbled. After the werebears flashed away to Romania, she came closer to me. “I’m glad I found my broom, riding a werebear in leather pants was more uncomfortable than I could have imagined. I need to get out of these and check some things out. I may have rubbed the skin right off of my ass and thighs. Argh! You don’t even want to know how everything else feels.” Ezzy went into the house and she called out, “Hey witch! Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”
I literally jumped in the air from the shock of hearing a gunshot. I turned around and saw Randy snapping a bullwhip. “So, that’s what you asked Ursula for? A bullwhip?”
“A magic bullwhip, otherwise known as a dragon’s tongue. Who knows when something as kick-ass as this might come in handy?” Randy cracked the whip again with even more enthusiasm. Tiny bolts of lightning shot out and streaked over the yard. “This... is… fucking… awesome! Imagine if we took it and our wands trick or treating around the block.”
“Don’t even think about it! I’ve had enough magically induced mayhem to last a while, thank you very much!” I prayed he was only joking.
“Ooh! Let me try,” Gertie begged.
“Randy, it’s shooting out everywhere! Put that thing away before you hurt someone,” I scolded.
“Yeah, that’s what he said,” Randy snarked back.
“Come on, Randy. Let me play with your whip,” Gertie whined.
“And that’s what he said also.”
Gabe came up the stairs and nudged me off to the side. He rolled his big head while I rubbed behind one of his ears. “I think you should get changed, if you know what I mean,” I whispered. More than ever I wanted to stay in Caldron Falls permanently. I knew I would be making a decision sooner rather than later. In my heart, I already knew the answer.
