Cherry's Adventures of Casper Meets Wendy

chapter 7

Cherry was about to sit down, then saw the tabby. "Oh, my, that's a really fat cat!"

"Watch it, Butler!" Drell scolded.

"Oh, my..." Cherry grew nervous.

Drell then did a cat stretch and turned back into his human form and stood up. "Ah... Nothing like a fresh mouse..."

"Why do you eat mice by the way?" Patch asked.

"My mom turned me into a cat for a week to punish me for bringing a wild animal in the house," Drell explained. "Chasing and catching mice made me crave them even afterward."

"Wow." Atticus said.

"Yeah, not bad..." Drell smiled.

"That makes sense..." Cherry felt relieved to know why Drell would want to eat mice in the first place.

"Casper looks busy, let's get going." Drell suggested.

"I agree." Atticus said.

"Come on then." Drell firmly nodded.

With that, they went back to the bus, the door was open, but the driver was not there.

"Must be buying something in the gas station." Hilda assumed.

"Well, hopefully he won't be gone long." Drell said.

"So, which finger do I use to summon a spell without a wand?" Cherry asked.

"This one," Atticus pointed to her pointer finger. "And remember, your spell must rhyme, otherwise it won't work."

"So, can I make up spells or do I have to use a book?" Cherry then asked.

"Both." Atticus said.

"Okay..." Cherry had a lot of questions since she had witch powers now. "Umm... Let's say I wanna hurt someone who's caused me pain for years..."

"I don't know if there's a spell for that." Atticus said.

"You wanna hurt Drell, don't you?" Patch asked.

"It's a hypothetical question!" Cherry chuckled nervously. "No, I wouldn't want to hurt Drell... Though all he does is threaten and abuse me..."

'You know you want to...' Evil Cherry's voice said in her head so no one else heard it.

"Hurting him won't make it any better, it might make it even worse." Atticus said.

'Don't listen to him...' Evil Cherry said. 'What does he know? He's just protecting you like he ALWAYS does! You should put your foot down and show Drell you mean business!'

Cherry wasn't sure what to say, but she gave a nod to Atticus to make it seem as though she listened to him.

The driver then came back. "Sorry about that, folks, I had to get a snack." he then sat down and closed the doors, driving the bus to their destination.

"Maine, here we come." Drell said.

It wouldn't take too long now, but the others relaxed and calmed down since they had a long day of driving. Atticus and Drell kept the girls that they loved with all their hearts entertained. Cherry folded her arms as she was resting her eyes.

At the Fudo home...

"Darla, you remind me so much of my band-mate Dusk." Thorn said to her adoptive cousin. "Though she told me she was in a car accident with her parents and that it put her in a coma for about six months..."
