Chapter Fifteen
Everyone turned and looked at Ivy in shock. "Oh, my God... Did I say that?" Ivy almost broke down in tears.
Kat ran to her side and put an arm around her and gave her a sly wink. "Ivy, I know you have been meaning to tell people, but because of Grace's spell on you, everytime you tried, your throat closed up. You've wanted to tell people but whenever you tried to communicate, you couldn't."
Ivy caught on with Kat's special turn on the truth and stood up to Sam. "I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but remember when I had that awful coughing fit yesterday? I was trying to tell you... I'm so sorry." She cried naturally, for forgiveness and Ethan ran to her side.
"Mother, we understand." He hugged her and looked at Sam, who just was dumbfounded.
"Okay, Blondie. It's your turn to speak up. You may be able to feign Miss Innocent around these people, but not to me." Kat grabbed her by her collar and stood her up. "Now TALK!"
"Okay, Kay. You want me to talk? I put a love spell on Miguel. Hi, Miguel..." Charity gave him big puppy dog eyes.
"Hi, Charity... So you're a witch? That's really cool. Now I know you will be prom queen." Miguel answered back with a dreamy look.
"UGH!" Kat groaned and dropped Charity to the floor. "Miguel, Charity made this tea and really wants you to have some."
"Really? Well, if Charity made it, it must be good." He took the cup from her, drank, and then dropped it to the floor. "I've had a crush on Kay since 8th grade." He gasped and looked at Charity in a new light. "I also hate blondes."
Kat smiled knowing that the coupling was almost done. "Well, I know that no evil witch like you two could ever get men on your looks, so, Dad, I think you need a drink of tea."
"What? Are you kidding me? Kay, untie your mother right now." Sam got up and went to Grace and saw the evil in her eyes.
"Dad, sit down." Kat moved her head and an unknown force pushed Sam onto the couch. "Look, Dad, you don't love Grace, she put a spell on you. You need to drink the tea to get better. "
"I need tea like I need a hole in the head." He unconsciously picked up a cookie. "Your tea will make me get better like this cookie would, all right?" He ate the small cookie and saw Kat's smile.
"Dad, you never have a tea party without cookies."
"I've loved Ivy Crane since I met her and I wish she never would have married that Julian Crane. Grace is an inane, perky, boring homemaker who can't cook chicken." The words poured out of Sam and he ran into the kitchen. Kat went to go after him, but Ivy said that he needs some time to think alone.
"Charity, Charity, Charity... it seems we're back to you again. Who did you screw with this time?" Kat was getting a little fidgety, she wanted to know everything that was going on.
"Well, you. I mean, think about it. You are constantly fighting with your sister, you tried to make me subliminally fear Miguel, you are planning to dump fish guts on me at the prom, you pushed poor Simone into a hot tub, and now you are threatening to kill two witches. What does that say about your personality?" Charity boasted about her best spell. "People think you're evil, you know that? All you do is scheme and hate people and lust after Miguel. You yelled at me when I saved his life, geez..."
"You know what? I think you are such an evil little-" She took a drink of her tea. "I have a constant need for support and my self-esteem as at an all-time low ever since I met you. I never hated you but envied your love from my mother and the guy I have had a crush on since forever. I love my sister for being my sister and trying to keep what she thinks as true love together and I think that Charity's hair is a bottle blond..." Kat smiled as the words came out in a rush. "All that was Kay's confession, that last part I just felt like adding to spite you for ruining Kay's life for so long."
Jess looked at Kat and scoffed. "Charity and Miguel belong together... You are an evil, scheming coniving bi-" Charity cut her off.
"Oh, yeah. I wanted a friend so I used my powers on her as well. Everyone loves me." She smiled in the way she always did, looking like someone who was more hyped up than Sheridan on her pain killers.
Kat walked over to Jess and whispered in her ear. "Jess, I plan on giving Charity poisoned cookies, so that I can steal Miiguel away. It'll work as long as no one eats any of those cookies on the table there..."
Jessica laughed. "Kay, you are not going to break them up. They are too in love, so much that even Miguel couldn't break them up! I will not let you hurt her though!" She ran over to the cookies and ate one. "I admire the way that Kay goes after what she wants and I think that her and Miguel could make a really cute couple." Jess passed out after thinking for so long she hated her sister and then realizing the truth.
Kat ran to her side and slapped her cheek softly. "Jess, wake up. Come on..." She decided to let her rest and went to Grace. "Is there anyone else?"
"No, that's it, child." Grace said with beads of sweat covering her forehead.
"Tell the truth, Betty Crocker." Kat narrowed her eyes at Grace and brought the staff closer to the witch's skin.
"Okay! I hated that Sam and Ivy were together. I wanted him to love me, he was so cute. I wanted her to never be able to tell him about his son and he to never admit his love. Well, you ruined that plan. But, I didn't just put a spell on them, I put it on their child, Ethan. He was a symbol for the bond of love they shared, so I didn't think he deserved to ever be able to tell his true love he loves her." Grace hissed out her words and looked up at Kat, her eyes able to shoot daggers.
Ethan took a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp. "I love Theresa Lopez~ Fitzgerald." He ran out of the room after hearing his own confession.
