Page 10 of Cadenbury Town Does Halloween

“Were you though?” Sal asks. “None of you reached the halfway point.”

“I’m so glad you true witches offered to have these lessons. I can’t remember when I had so much fun with magic,” one of the witches said. “I’ve always loved playing with magic, but you all make it entertaining.”

“I’m glad we could help,” I say, smiling her way.

“See you next week,” the witch says, walking away.

We say bye to the other witches and follow them outside with Adhan closing and locking the bunker behind us.

The last time we were here, we created a spell that would add our protection around the bunker door every time it closed, so we don’t need to protect it each time we leave.

“How did you get on at the house?” Nix asks the brothers generally.

“We got the first secret hiding hole completed, but there is still lots to do,” Cam replied.

“Do any of the town folk help with the house?” Sal asks.

“No,” Adhan replies. “It’s just us, that way it can be a surprise for everyone else. Let’s head home, shall we?”

CHAPTER 6

The haunted house is beginning to look amazing, the secret passages have been added, there is still lots to do but it’s more just decorating now.

It took the brothers about a week to modify the inside of the haunted house, and while that was happening Elliott and his funfair family started to arrive. We’re going to have a mass BBQ on Sunday to thank them for coming. It will be good to catch up with all of them again.

But now we are sat around the dinner table, just chatting about this and that when talk turns to the haunted walk.

“I’ve contacted a company that supplies outside holograms. They should be arriving the day after tomorrow to set up. There will be a headless horseman, zombies, ghosts etc. If any of you witches have time tomorrow, can you help create the haunted walk? I want it to look like a forest,” Adhan asks.

“I’m only working tomorrow morning, so I can come and help,” I say.

“I have nothing urgent on, so I can come and help as well,” Titus says.

“I can come tomorrow evening as it’s Melody’s turn to cover evenings this week,” Justice offers.

“I can come after the shop closes tomorrow,” Nix says.

“Same for me,” Sal adds.

“And I can come when I finish with Elaine,” Temp says.

“Thank you,” Adhan says. “Tomorrow evening it is then. Will you be able to do it in the dark?”

“Yep, we’re super witches remember,” I remind him.

“How could I have forgotten,” Adhan says, shaking his head.

I laugh and lean into his side.

“Temp, it’s your birthday in a few days, have you decided what you want to do?” Emily asks him.

Temp grins.

This should be good.

“Yep, I want us all to go crab fishing,” he announces.

I was so not expecting that!
