Sunday came and went with Lilly practicing her already known spells and her and her mom having dinner and Lilly working on homework before going to bed. Lilly’s alarm went off and she proceeded to get ready for the school day, she pulled out one of her newest pairs of ripped jeans and pulled them on. Next, she put on her retro gaming tee and lastly a flannel and for shoes a pair of tan swayed heeled boots, once she was dressed she did her makeup and styled her hair and walked downstairs to meet her mom and get a ride to school. Lilly met up with Abby in the cafeteria who gushed over Lilly’s outfit “Omg girl that's so cute! You make anything look good!”

“Aww really? I just thought it was a cute shirt and bought it.” Lilly said with a smile before Jessica came over to the table

“Hello ladies,” Jessica said looking at Lilly and Abby “I hope that you two are showing up to practice this week the games Friday.” Lilly looked up at her and said

“Yes we’ll be there Jessica, is that all you wanted?” Abby looked at Jessica as we'll

“Yeah honestly you always do this don’t you have something better to do other than bother us all the time,” she replied

“Just doing my job as captain is all, later girls,” Jessica said with a wave before leaving. The day went by rather usual and then practice wen the same, the rest of the week followed and before long it was Friday, the day of the homecoming game and Lilly woke up early dressed in her uniform and put her hair up in a bow and curled it to make it really shine. Once she was ready she walked downstairs and noticed her mom wasn’t in the kitchen and noticed a note

Hey sweetie sorry I couldn’t wait for you today, you’re gonna have to take the bus sorry sweetie’
Love Mom

Lilly slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus to pull up Lilly sat in a seat and a few stops later Abby got on and the two of them chatted until they got to school the two of them went to their usual table and ate breakfast but were interrupted by Jessica “So you decide to actually look nice for the game for a change and NOT half-ass it” Jessica said rudely.

“Fuck off Jessica Lilly always looks beautiful!” Abby exclaimed defending Lilly.

“Well, of course, you say that you are her girlfriend, you’re supposed to say that stuff,” Becky said in a snide tone of voice.
“It’s true and if I have to fight you, bitches, I will,” Abby said boldly.

“Come on guys we are all on the same squad lets get along,” Sarah said intervening in the dispute causing both Jessica and Becky to glare at her

“I suppose you are right, come on girls,” Jessica said motioning for Sarah and Becky to follow her

“Honestly what is your deal? It’s almost as if you feel bad for them” Becky said

“I’m not sadistic like you two, I don’t want them to suffer.” Sarah said “I am just trying to help the coven and no one said that I HAD to be mean to them,” Sarah said.

“Well you were at the meeting you know we have to break her and if I recall you didn’t like either of them before Joey’s transformation.” Becky said

“ Well that was different we weren’t trying to break her back then and it was typical high school stuff,” Sarah replied

“I see no difference in it honestly, and if there was so what? phase 1 will be over tonight and after that, we can work on the next part and we’ll be one step closer to reviving the master and you can be a part of that or not.” Jessica said in a callous tone as they walked the halls and up to Jessicas cousin

“Hey Todd ready for tonight’s big game?” Jessica asked.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” Todd replied confused

“Because tonight marks the end of phase 1 of destroying Lilly's will,” Jessica said meanly

“ I don’t know what you are talking about” Todd replied

“Oh right,” Jessica said activating the spell “Now whenever I say the word go you’ll let me take mental control of you got it,” Jessica said as her eyes glowed and Todd nodded his head.

“Good now go about your day as usual” Commanded Jessica causing Todd to snap out of it and go off and meet Tyler.

“Hey, big guy nervous about tonight?” Tyler asked as he hugged Todd

“A little but I should be fine after all you will be cheering me on from the stands and after we have our six-month Dinner,” Todd said hugging Tyler back

“You’re going to do great I know it and I have a present for you later tonight but for now we better get to class I’ll talk to you after the game,” Tyler said kissing his boyfriend goodbye and heading off to class.

The school day went by rather quickly and then it was time for the big game, the team started off strong with the team scoring 3 touchdowns with one being from an interception by the opposing team quickly tied it up and in the second quarter, the opposing team scored twice and blocked the home team from scoring. It was half-time and that meant that the half-time show started and Jessica kicked it off by having the team form a pyramid and doing a backflip off but when she landed fell and let out a cry

“My ankle I think I sprained it” Jessica yelled, the squad helped her to the sidelines and sat on the ground,

“Lilly you have to step up Abby said looking at her girlfriend excitedly and the rest of the squad agreeing with her causing Lilly to look at Jessica sitting on the ground

“Don’t fuck this up Davis” she said harshly. Lilly led the squad onto the field and pulled off the routine flawlessly with a few minor missteps and after the half time show ended the team pulled ahead in the third quarter tieing up the game and we'll into the 4th quarter both teams blocked each other and traded points, it came down to half time and the team had the ball Todd looked down the field and saw Steve wide open and threw a spiral down the field and Steve caught it and ran it down the field and scored the crowd went crazy and Todd walked over to his cousin

"Hey Jessica you okay that was a nasty fall, sorry I couldn’t come by sooner,” He said helping Jessica off the ground

“It’s okay I understand but the game was amazing you are sure to get a scholarship way to go,” Jessica said snidely causing Todd to zone out while everyone was celebrating she looked around for Lilly and saw her talking to her mom and Abby and Jessica had Todd help her over to Lilly

“Hey, good job with the halftime show Lilly you actually weren’t terrible,” Jessica said leaning on her cousin for support

“Wow, Jessica that's probably the nicest thing you ever said to me, thank you,” Lilly responded

“Don’t mention it, what do you have planned for the rest of the night?” Jessica asked

“ Dinner and maybe a sleepover with Abby, oh shoot I left my bag in the locker room, mom I’ll be right back,” Lilly said running off to the locker room to get her bag.

Jessica called Becky and Sarah over to her help her stand and having Todd celebrate with the team a bit before taking control and having him follow Lilly. Lilly got into the locker room and grabbed her bag and when she turned around she saw Todd standing their

“Todd what the fuck get out, this is the girl's locker room!” Lilly exclaimed but Todd just walked closer

“I told you I always get what I want JOEY, now come here,” Jessica said through Todd.

Lilly just froze and backed up “ How did you- that's not- what are you talking about?” was all Lilly could muster

“You know exactly what I'm talking about now come here!” Jessica said through Todd before grabbing and throwing Lilly to the ground and sitting on top of her holding her mouth shut causing Lilly to squirm as tears ran down her face and tried to get up but couldn’t however, she remembered the lightning spell and attempted to use it but when she touched Todd's arm the spell didn’t work

“Aww, you little spell didn’t work good thing I’m warded against spells like yours” Jessica as Todd hissed at Lilly as more tears streamed down her face and squirmed to try and get free but couldn’t and right before Jessica took it any further Abby walked in to see what was going on

“What the fuck are you doing to my girlfriend get off her now!” Abby said in a tone Lilly has never heard before causing Jessica as Todd to get up and walk towards Abby

“Todays my lucky day isn’t it,” Jessica as Todd said trying to grab Abby as she gave Todd and swift punch in the face and then a kick in the groin knocking out Todd and breaking the connection Jessica had

“ Lilly oh my god are you okay? I am so sorry I didn’t get here sooner, did that bastard hurt you?” Abby asked rushing over to Lilly and wrapping her in a hug causing Lilly to just sit on the floor and cry “ He-he-he just grabbed me and got on top of me and I couldn’t do anything about it” Lilly said tears streaming down her face.

“Lilly we have to tell you mom and the principle and maybe even the police,” Abby said

“Abby I can’t, it’s not-I don’t want- that is making it a big deal and it's not,” Lilly said between cries

“It is a big deal tho, he sexually assaulted you and deserve to face consequences, baby I know that this hard but you need to talk to your mom if you don’t then he is just going to get away with it, we better be getting back to your mom lets go,” Abby said trying to help her girlfriend up off the floor and out of the locker and bumped into Miss. Davis

“What took you so long I’ve been waiting for- Lilly sweetie what's wrong? Did something happen?” Miss. Davis asked. Lilly just looked down and wrapped her arms around her self in a hug.

“Lilly, baby are you okay? You can talk to me about anything” Miss. Davis reassured her daughter

“ Lilly it’s okay we’ll be here for you for this whole process and he deserves what's coming to him,” Abby said reausring Lilly

“That football player from a few weeks ago Todd well he-he-he did something to me and he hurt me in a very bad way and I well I think we need to talk to the principle and maybe the police,” Lilly said trying not to go into detail,

“Honey, what did that little bastard do to you?” Miss. Davis asked.

“I-I-I don’t want to talk about it, please mom just leave it at that, okay?” Lilly said trying to move past the subject

“Sweetie, Please tell me what happened. I can’t help you unless you tell me what happened” Miss. Davis said

“Lilly tell her or I will please it’s only going to hurt more if you don’t tell anyone,” Abby said

“H-he he assaulted me!,” Lilly said breaking down into tears “He came into the locker room and threw me to the floor and got on top of me but luckily Abby came and saved me.”

“That little bastard! I’m calling the police” Miss. Davis said pulling out her phone and walking away a bit to talk to the police without background noise.
Abby and Lilly being left alone,

“ So Abby are you able to stay the night?” Lilly said changing the subject

“Yeah I got the okay this morning and plus I would never leave your side after the night you had,” Abby said hugging Lilly trying to comfort her. Miss. Davis walked back over to the two girls

“The police are on their way” Miss. Davis said before kneeling next to Lilly.
Meanwhile, Todd was regaining consciousness

“ Where am I? How did I get here? Todd thought to himself as he stood up and proceeded to leave the locker room and return to the field and as he returned the police pulled up and proceeded to walk towards Todd

“Todd Mathews, you are under arrest for the assault of a classmate,” a police officer said before he read Todd his rights as everyone looked over to Todd being arrested causing whispers to arise and Tyler to run over to him

“Todd, why? Why would you do this? What about us?” he said worriedly

“Sorry Ty, I don’t know what happened.” Todd said sadly

“Was everything a lie? Was what we had a lie? Tyler said sadly

“No! Of course not I- I love you and wouldn’t ever hurt you.” Todd said as he was forced into the police car, once the police car was gone everyone tried discussing what happened and Miss. Davis guided Lilly and Abby to the car to go home, Lilly and Abby were sat in the back seat and Lilly was leaned up against the window and Abby had her arm wrapped around Lilly comforting her and Lilly just stared out the window and she had to be shaken back into attention. Lilly was just kinda dazed and not paying attention the rest of the night and the two girls went to sleep for the night. Lilly looked around and found herself back in the girl's locker room and stood up and tried to leave but bumped into Todd

“Leave me alone!” Lilly yelled as Todd walked towards her, she turned around and ran but bumped into her old mom “ Dear why are you running? Do I need to get your father?” her old mom said before she heard a deep voice

“You wanna be a girl? We'll then you are gonna be a girl and that boy will help” Lilly’s old father said before grabbing her and throwing her to Todd

“Let go of me, no I-I-I don’t want this please,” Lilly said starting to cry and her old mom and dad grabbed her and held her still for Todd and as tears streamed down her face she was awoken from her dream by Abby

“Lil what's wrong are you alright?” Abby asked and Lilly broke down

“I-I-I-It was Todd and some other people I didn’t recognize attacked me and tried to…” Lilly said before burying her face in Abbys arms

“Girls, what's wrong? Did something happen?” Miss. Davis said as she walked down the stairs

“Lilly had a nightmare about what happened,” Abby said holding Lilly to try and calm her down

“Awww sweetie, I’m sorry. I can't do anything to help you if you need me I am here for you but would you want to talk with a specialist?” Miss. Davis said comforting Lilly

“ Yes, I think that would be helpful, I can’t take this and is just the start I can’t take it.” Lilly said with fear in her voice.

“Don’t worry sweetie we’ll get through this.” Miss. Davis responded pulling Lilly in for a hug.

“And if anyone tries to hurt you they gotta deal with me, I could even take you to my karate classes that are on Sundays,” Abby said

“If it’s okay with my mom, I would love to,” Lilly said

“It shouldn’t be too much of an issue as long as it's not too expensive.” Miss. Davis said

“I get to bring a friend since I'm at a higher level,” Abby said

“Well then it fine with me, now what do you say we make some hot cocoa and watch some movies till you girls get tired?” Miss. Davis suggested.

“Actually mom I was gonna try and go back to sleep,” Lilly said

“Oh okay, then sweetie if you need me I’m here for you, good night and sweet dreams” Miss. Davis said before returning up to her room.

Lilly turned to Abby and said “ Hey Abby, um do you think we can cuddle? I would just feel safer in your arms if that's okay.”

Abby gave Lilly a sympathetic look and said “ Of course you can, I would do anything to make you feel safe”

Lilly crawled under Abby’s blanket and Abby wrapped her arms around Lilly and they both drifted off to sleep. In the morning Lilly and Abby woke up to the smell of breakfast being cooked and walked into the kitchen

“Well good morning you two, sleep well?” Miss. Davis said with a sly grin causing the two girls to blush.

“Sorry mom, don’t be mad.” Lilly said

“Don’t worry sweetie I’m not mad, just be safe.” Miss. Davis said to the two girls.

“Miss. Davis, we were just cuddling don’t worry me and Lilly are waiting a while before anything.” Abby said reassuringly

“well that's good, now you two ready for breakfast I made scrambled eggs and waffles.” Miss. Davis said as she set the table.

They all sat and ate breakfast and once it was finished and the table was cleared Abby and Lilly went upstairs to get dressed, Lilly came out wearing leggings and a PINK hoodie and Abby came out with a black hoodie and skinny jeans, once they got back downstairs and sat on the couch, Miss. Davis walked in and spoke up “Hey sweetie, I was able to get something scheduled for Monday afternoon so you will have to miss cheer practice”

“It’s okay mom, I am turning in my uniform in Monday morning and quitting cheer,” Lilly said sadly.

“Why sweetie, you love cheer?” Miss. Davis said concerned

“I just don’t want to do it anymore alright!” Lilly said harshly.

“Sweetie I’m sorry, I was just concerned is all. You don’t need to talk about it.” Miss. Davis said

“Well if you are quitting then I am too.” Abby said.

“No, you are not!” Lilly said firmly.

“Yes I am, I only joined the team because you always wanted to do it and I wanted to be with you.” Abby said.

“But you are so good at it, don’t quit just for me.” Lilly said.

“I am quitting and that is that,” Abby said sternly

“Abby don’t quit for Lilly unless it's what you really want to do because I don’t want you resenting her for it.” Miss. Davis said

“Don’t worry, I won’t, I never really liked doing it anyway.” Abby said cheerfully.

“Just trying to protect my little girl” Miss. Davis said

“Moooom, you’re embarrassing me.” Lilly groaned.

“You are so cute when you are annoyed,” Abby said with a giggle.

The day continued as normal Abby and Lilly hung out and watched tv and movies and played games together and eventually Abby went back home leaving Lilly and her mom alone and she could finally tell all the details of what happened. She found her mom working in the dining room and pulled out a chair sat down

“Hey mom, you don’t know all the details of what happened yesterday and I had to wait because Abby was here,” Lilly said as her mom was grading papers. This caused her to look up and with a concerned expression asked

“What do you mean?” Her mom asked

“Well when Todd confronted me and- um- attacked me he called me Joey,” Lilly said as her moms’ expression grew to one of shock “also when I tried to shock him it-it didn't work, he said something about being warded,” Lilly said as she began to cry, causing her mom to run over and wrap her arms around her

“Sweetie it's okay but that shouldn’t be possible, no one should remember Joey and the warding was especially concerning because he wouldn’t have been able to do that without a witch's help and there is no one that should be able to do that. I’m gonna talk to the sisterhoods’ council and see what they think.” her mom said

“Thank you mom, I honestly don’t know what I would do without you,” Lilly said warmly

“Dear I’m your mom, it’s what I'm supposed to do, and speaking of which how have you been dealing with that?” Her mom asked her

“Not great. I had another nightmare but my dad and mom were forcing me onto Todd in a sense and said something about ‘making me a women’ or something, I can’t talk to a regular specialist about this,” Lilly said, “is anyone in the coven a therapist that I can talk to?”

“Already ahead of you sweetie, I knew you would need someone who knew about magic so I set you up with someone in the sisterhood.” her mom said

“Thank you mom, you are the best mom ever. Lilly said happily

“Don’t mention it, sweetie, now what do you say we get some practice in and once you show you’re ready I’ll give you the next spell for the elements you need to learn.” her mom said hoping to distract her a bit

“ I think that would help a lot.” Lilly said. The two of them walked into the basement and proceeded to practice spells.
