The Witch Patch Ch 11

Big brothers & hero's                                                                      
                                                                      
Ryder and Michael left for Garrisons after Delilah took Chastity to school. Delilah called after dropping Raven off and told me she was heading downtown for supllies for a surprise she has planned for the family meeting.                              
                             
After breakfast I handed Velvet and Rocky a list of things needed for the dinner meeting and the after party. I asked the twins to stop over to Wicked Wanda's to check on our orders and then to stop over to Krog's Keepsakes & Grocery store; besides the booze and other supplies, there is something special waiting there for Chastity at Krogs. I also asked Velvet to pick up Chastity from school which is at 12:45 PM.                      
                     
Velvet & Rocky always travel together, like  always; as I've mentioned before, they have that "special bond" you-know, cause they're twins and all that. "Hey-hey-now” I know what some of you may be thinking. So let's put an end to those thoughts right here, right now.          
My brother and sister are in no way anything other than siblings, period. The Breakstone family have high standards and morals sheesh, so let's keep it clean shall we. And of course no offense to you the reader.                                                        
                                   
"Hey,” any lunch asks Fabian ?”                                  
                                 
—Well hello to you too big brother      
I think there might be a crumb or two left, I reply.                                                                
“Fantastic!” he said, “I’m starved!”                                
         
“So tell me Sis, what’s been goin-          
Whoa! what happened to the kitchen door?”                                  
Hold out your hands I comand and then drop the brick down into his left hand and the note into his right. Fabian reads the note, “Witches Beware!”                           
                                 
“What the hell questions Fabian. I know, right?!
I say equally puzzled        
           
“Hey, I feel like riding today" I said urgently. We can talk about this when we break, okay?          
“I wanna have a look around our property and then stop at the lake.”                                  
         
"Sure sis, lets ride. You in cousin?” asks Fabian. “You don’t even have to ask,” said Honoria          
“I haven’t ridden in a while, I could use some natural healing.”
“You got that right, Cuz I said cheerily.      
       
After Fabian filled his guts, we mount up and head out across our land.                                         
After riding for about 15 minutes we stop at the lake. it’s truly beautiful here I thought to myself. We dismount and allow the horses to graze and drink and roam free while we’re here. We walk over to the hand crafted stone benches made by our ancestors that are randomly placed around the north side of the lake and sit down.                                  
                                 
“So, what are we dealing with here?” asks Fabian. ”I don’t know brother I’ve been asking myself that same question all morning since I whacked my toe into a kitchen chair this “Witches Beware”. Who talks like that anymore” I spat! Of course it could be trickery? offers Fabian. —Maybe? said Honoria.                        
                       
“I snatch a tasty Granny Smith apple off one of our trees and take a bite. Between chews I say
I just don’t see how— wait-a-sec I say, and take another bite of my apple then continue. Any ordinary person or people couldn’t commit such an act without knowing where we are. Yeah, nope, it makes no sense I said with a mouthful of apple. Perhaps it’s a rogue witch turned ordinary? Or maybe an ordinary, turned witch?” Idk-  is that even possible? I question.

That seems a-bit unlikely Blake.”                         It makes no sense to be honest said Honoria. “Yeah, you’re probably right ,” I reply.                          
                         
“We all sat quietly for a while taking in the view.”        
       
Thinking back over the years, the only true rivals we’ve ever had that I can think of were the Theron family said Fabian. But that was over 5 years ago, I said.      
       
Yes but remember, there has been a long standing rivalry dating back over 200 years, Sis.”  Dah, I know i said sheepishly.    
     
Remember when it finally came to a head, when one night the Theron brothers decided to blow up our stables. Of course I remember that, how could I not. 10 horses died that night Including our mothers beloved new young stud, Storm.                            
                           
"Oh-man!" our mother loved that horse I said. Storm, was her heart and soul, her favorite horse of all time, she would often tell us. Anyway the feud all started way back when because the Theron's believed they owned 13 acres of our land and they wanted it and wanted it bad! Those 13 acres include the lake and other desirable landscape. They absolutely without a doubt felt entitled to ownership rights because they won some foolish drunken bet between our 10th generation grandfather and theirs. However that bet has never been proven and theTherons never did acquired any ownership of our land.            
                                              
So, in the wee hours past midnight during the night after the explosion, we decided enough is enough and fought back!                              
                             
Unfortunately for the Theron family they were up against the Breakstones during what became a fight to the end, both Fabian & our baby sister Chastity, who btw way was only 4 years old at and already a force to be reckoned with; unleashed two death blows using their powers of telekinesis.                        
     
First by casting a death spell by constriction and second, by lifting the entire Theron family up off the ground about 100 feet into the air an then body-slamming them all down onto the ground! Fabian then made a 50 foot hole In the earth and then vanquished what was left of their bodies into that hole.                              
                             
The entire Theron Family are all buried there inside that hole and remain there to this day. All except one. Drake Theron. He was out of the country when the fight broke out.                
               
The Witches Council regarded the incident as self defense and directed everyone to move on and let it go and forget about that dreadful night and leave the past behind. Well, some people aren’t as forgetful or forgiving as others…                              
                               
To be continued…
