The Witch Patch Ch 31

Halloween 2022                                  
                             
This years festival is turning out to be the best yet. Uncle Zane and Raven volunteered to do face painting with the toddler kiddies, while Delilah is helping with broom rides & races. This years first place race winner gets a huge candy basket full of treats and a solid gold trophy shaped into a broom with the winners name on it.                              
                               
Meanwhile, Velevet, Me, Honoria , MeMe, Rocky, Fabian, Kujo and Ryder, along with other members of our community are heavily involved in a rousing game of witch tag aka laser tag but without teams. Nope, it’s every man and woman for themselves! Last one standing wins the game—  all wands are loaded with just enough petrification serum to knock you out of the game.                           
                               
“BOOM💥!” “just missed a hit!” off my broom-tail “yells!” Honoria in my direction, then zooms right past me and shoots a direct hit with her wand against Ryder boot! “BANG💥Ryders OUT!”                                
                               
A dust-cloud of rescue fairies dive down fast as one stronghold catching Ryder and bringing him back down to earth safely, but still petrified!                                
                               
“BOOM💥!” Fabians OUT! Taken down by QuickRik aka Rik Knight, from a clan out of Springfield!                                
                               
I managed to take Rocky & QuickRik down, but then MeMe took me down! Not long after Honoria took down MeMe, and then a twofer, both Flanagan brothers went down with a double flick of Honoria’s wand! Victorious she looks away for a split second then took a wrong turn and then BAM💥 Velvet took down Honoria!                                
                               
“Wow this game is on “FIAH! Yells out Kujo!!”Holy moly—! “What-a-game Velvet yells back!”    Kujo’s on the move, he takes down the last few players, all except Velvet…                              
                               
“So it all comes down to this eh?” Cuz,    
said Velvet, “It’s just you, me, and the ground standing between us, mono a mono, winner takes all!”                                
                               
Velvet tried to look at Kujo with a psycho face but burst out laughing instead. She winds her hand in a few quick circles then releases two quick shots of heat from her wand! but she misses. She then zooms away quick as hell and recovers right in front of Kujo, She begins taunting him with her broom-tail shooting out black smoke to distract him while she tries to take him down! “NOPE! NOT THIS YEAR CUZ!” YELLS KUJO!                            
                               
Now laughing hysterically, he serves the fake out, a one-two-loop de Loop-  then a left turn and then a zigzag dip, landing smack dab on her right flank, he then dips low and steady, that’s right, low and steady, and then— he goes for it!  “BAM💥Kujo kicks at Velvet’s broomtail shaking her up a bit and then “BAM💥 zaps her on her boot! Velvets OUT!              
             
That’s it, hey I won— “hey I won! “HEY!” I said I won!        
     
Kujo! looks around when nobody congratulated him and realized , duh 🙄 everyone else is laid out, stiff as a board on the ground waiting to be saved😆            
             
Turns out the Mandrake juice was more than strong enough to fix petrification. It also clears out any unwanted slosh hanging out in your gut!                                
                               
All the players who fell victim, left behind a pile of barf once regaining their composure.    
Which if you ask anyone, is the only drawback to witch tag.                                
                               
Soon we will all eat and drink and then, before sunrise we will all take part in the annual grave yard séance crawl…                              
                               
                               
To be continued…
