The Witch Patch Ch 8
Firefly fairies & candles
After our encounter with our mother we were all feeling a bit spent. Honoria looks at me then grabs the brandy bottle “just a little” she squeaks, then pours a round for everyone.
Fabian took off towards the grand staircase then sprinted up the steps!" He came back less than 3 minute later carrying a jar full of firefly fairies and breezed on by everyone, heading strait to the front door and opens it. He then jets down the steps and out onto our front yard and releases the firefly fairies into the night sky but not before first whispering into the jar by unscrewing the lid just a smidge and tells them “Light the yellow light and tell everyone to come to Broomhilda’s tomorrow @6:00pm sharp!”
Fabian then taps the jar a little as to ready the firefly fairies for “take off!” He then twists off the lid, tilts the jar up towards the sky and says “fly soldiers fly!” Just like teeny tiny rockets they all took off one by one Into the night sky just like the teeny tiny little soldiers they are…
Now back inside we all head back to the parlor and sat around to chit chatting for a few minutes. Then In what seemed like forever a quiet silence had fallen over the room until Delilah clears her throat and says;
“I think our mother’s right,” we are after all Breakstone's !”
“Hell yeah we are!” said Velvet!
“That’s right! “We are the Mighty mighty Breakstones! said Rocky, Woo Whoo!
“Hey Cousin,” you seem unusually quiet, everything alright? asks Rocky.
“No not really, she said, there’s a lot still going on at home, a lot of uncomfortable silence for one thing, which everyone knows I hate.
“Hey maybe you should stay with us for awhile?” offers Delilah.
“Yes cousin you must, please stay I beg!” Everyone starts chanting and cheering Honoria on.
Stay
cousin,
stay
cousin,
STAY!
Stay
cousin,
stay
cousin,
STAY!
“Tears streak down Honoria face in silence, she accepts with obvious relief.
I happen to notice the wall clock, it reads 11:33 pm.
“Hey guys?” no one heard me.
“Um hello?” —is this thing on?”
“Hey — listen up people”
“We have lots to do in preparation for the meeting and dinner tomorrow night. “What’s say we all head up to bed calling it a early night?
“How ‘bout we all have one more shot of brandy first? suggests Rocky .
“Only one?” said Velvet?”
“Fuck it!” said Fabian, how ‘bout 2!
“Sounds good to me” said Honoria.
“Fuck it!”
“Cheers I offer!”
“Welp— two drinks led to two more, and two more after that one until we all got stinking drunk!”
To be continued …
It’s worth mentioning our firefly fairies live free until needed. We live in harmony with all living creatures outside the human race.
Our fairies have a job to do every now and then and that job is two fold.
(1) To ignite each and every candle sitting in each an every kitchen window of our entire Clan, living inside our village using magic.
(2) inscribe urgent messages onto the kitchen windows using there their taillights as pens.
It should also be noted that the lighting of any “kitchen candle” In this Clan, at anytime and no matter what, unquestionably implies a clad Iron mandatory coven meeting within 24 hours, or as soon as “RIGHT NOW!”
It just depends on the color of the candle flame.
Red = right now. Yellow = within 24 hours.
It’s the law in this Clan there is no gray area.
But, if there were any grey, it would be this.
You don’t have to go if your dead.
Violators are subject to severe punishment and banishment from the clan.

Dear J,
I think we all know I use my brandy for “medicinal” purposes only😉
The quality of the story and the write in general makes us feel we’re actually in the room. H🌷

Explaining about the meaning of the candles is an excellent touch. Connects the reader to the importance of said candles.
Excellent.

So these pages are basically raw drafts.
I plan to go through the whole story with an editor before i publish. There are some loose ends i need to tie up as most writers tend to have to do.

Always your friend
