I had been so scared that they were going to do something awful to Jane. I could feel the anger boiling up in Louisa and a determination to take control. I drew phaz around us and went someplace else. Once we were there, I stopped time for Jay, Oz and Jane and tucked them in safely. I popped back ten minutes into the future of when I left and faced them. Louisa made a grab for me and I blocked it.

“You don’t want to push me right now, Louisa!” I warned her. “We need to talk and we will do it one way or another. How do you want it to be?”

Everything was silent as she and I glared into each others' eyes and then she looked away. “You’re right, we need to talk. Where is Jane?”

“Jane is somewhere safe that you can’t ever even imagine touching. NO, just Witch can go where I put them. I could feel it, Louisa. You were going to try and take her down and THAT will never happen.”

Pam looked at me, “What was she going to do?”

“I think that she was going to make Jane so she couldn’t ever resist her again. She was intending to enslave her mind!”

Pam and Mom looked at Louisa, and Pam asked, “Is that true, Louisa?”

I felt the anger in Louisa,and suddenly understood. I reached into her and bared her to everyone there. At her core, Louisa hated me. She hated that even though she was Queen, that I was a sorceress and would some day take over from her. She hated that Mom and Pam had beautiful powerful, “FREAKS” for daughters, and she had a weak, mean-spirited daughter that was probably the end of her line. She had taken this deep-seated anger out on my ass and had been about to unleash it on Jane. Only a sorceress could have seen so deeply hidden feelings and only a sorceress could have shared it with the others.

In Louisa’s defense, these feelings were so deeply pushed down that she didn’t even know on a conscious level that they were there, and once it was bared, was as shocked and disturbed as anyone.

She fell to her knees and began to cry. “Oh, my GOD, Cindy, Pam, Sheryl, I didn’t mean to feel like that! I can’t believe what I have done and was about to do! I have to abdicate! You need to put me away before I destroy the greatest gift that has come to the witch world in centuries! A sorceress as good and loving as Cindy is a gift, and I would have made her bitter. I’m sooooooo sorrrrry," she wailed.

I waved my hand and Louisa was frozen in time. I turned to my mom, "We have to do something. I can fix this, but I won’t without your permission.” I looked at her and then at each of the other witches there. “This was a discussion for witches only.” I looked at Pam. “Do you want me to return Jane for this discussion or leave it to older heads? I also am not going to take part in it. Witches need to decide what they want… I’m NOT a witch!”

Pam and mom looked at each other and mom answered. “Leave her and the boys where they are, dear.”

“Do you wish me to leave?”

Mom looked at the other older witches, and they all shook their heads. She looked back at me and said, “We may need to ask you questions.” I nodded, and they started to talk.

The general consensus was that Louisa was gravely wrong in what she had done to me and disastrously wrong in what she in anger would have done to Jane. They also all loved her and agreed that she wasn’t totally responsible for her feelings.

Jackie said, “This isn’t a new problem. Everyone here knows how I feel about Georgina. She shouldn’t have never been allowed to pass. She isn’t powerful enough and didn’t really pass. Even more troublesome, she isn’t truly, by nature, good for witchy things. I have seen Louisa again and again make bad decisions concerning her. She shouldn’t be where she is poisoning the minds and hearts of young witches, and she should have NEVER even been considered as mentor to any witch much less Cindy. Louisa knows all of this, but her love for her daughter has torn her apart. I’m not surprised at all about her feelings. She cringes every time Georgina shits and makes a sound like a sonic boom. Can you imaging how it must feel to see Cindy, even before she has STARTED school, sliding from place to place with perfect control?”

“This isn’t about Georgina, Jackie. We all know how you feel about her,” Lara said.

“No. What I’m saying is that this is part of a long series of mistakes that Louisa has made, and at the root of it is that she never has accepted her daughter's true nature.”

Mom looked at me, “You said that you could fix it, what did you mean?”

I nodded. “In most ways Jackie is right. What I can do is remove memory of all of this from her and all of you and by taking away her shame and disappointment I can make her happy. She really does love me, it is just that I remind her so much of Georgina’s failings.” I looked at Jackie, "If you will bring Georgina to me, I can fix her as well so that she can shift smoothly and not feel like such a failure. Take away that, and most of your problems with her will disappear. The price for me doing this will be that I will take your hate for her at the same time. Then you will take her back, and then we will replay this disaster with Louisa not feeling the same and hopefully have a different result.”

They went into a huddle, and it was agreed to. Jackie went and told Georgina that her mother had sent for her and she came. As soon as she was there, I took her and made the changes. She wasn’t much stronger as a witch. Jackie was right, she should never have been passed. It was no kindness passing her. I found her misery to be even worse than I had suspected. She felt like a failure and her mother couldn’t always hide her disappointment from her. What I did do was, like Jane, I gave her much better control and smoothed out her touch. She would never POP in and out again and would just assume that she had always done it on purpose to annoy her mother. She was a much happier witch when she was returned.

Jackie was also a different witch because the hate was gone and without it she was far less driven. She mostly just felt sorry for Georgina and intended to try and make up with her.

I brought back Jane and the boys, wiped everyone except my mom and we started again. Everyone popped, Mom and Pam first, and found us crying. Everyone else came along, too, and in tears I explained to Louisa that I just couldn’t bear for her to be so angry at me. I had somewhat cooled Jane’s anger, and she cried at Louisa telling that it wasn’t fair to pile so much on me and to spank me so hard. Louisa looked at my ass and she cried, telling me that she couldn’t IMAGINE what she was thinking when she spanked me so hard. She held me tight and apologized and just cried. “What in the world was I thinking?”

It was decided that we would stay there for another week to let me fully recover, and everyone left. Moments later, my mother was back. She froze the boys and told Jane that she needed to talk with me privately. We popped away together and I smiled as I recognized my room at home. “You messed up and didn’t change my memories, Baby,” she told me.

“I didn’t forget, Mama. I need someone that I can trust to always know the real truth of the world that I live in. Sorry, Mama, but that is going to be you. I wanted you to remember so that you at least will be able to see what it is that I do when I’m forced to do it, and in the end you will be the one that I will come to when I need advice. You are the one person that I don’t have to wonder where your loyalties lie. Eventually Jane will be a part also, but in this case she was too big a part. I don’t know if she would ever have forgiven Louisa without my help.”

She looked at me. “I’m afraid that you possibly misjudge me and honor me above my deserving. When I saw your ass today, I was determined that she would never touch you again. I was just not going to do it in front of you. If we had gone back untouched, I would have challenged her for her throne as unfit and inferior to me. She has long known that she couldn’t beat me if I challenged her. Now she gets to keep her crown a little longer. When the time is right she will give it to you without challenge, I believe.”

“I don’t want the job, Mama!”

“Sorry, little one, but fate has given it to you. The fact is from today on you really ARE the Queen and Louisa is simply acting in your place for you. Only you and I will know it, but you ARE. You bested her easily, and when you changed her, you became the one and true Queen. Some day the Witch world will know because it is needed, but not until Louisa is gone, I promise. We try hard, dear, not to be like the Fragilis and let only the winners write history.” She hugged me. “Today truly proved how worthy you are. Even when hurt, you were first and most interested in what was best for all and not just you. You could have just as easily done to her as she planned to do to Jane and only you would have known.”

Mama left, and with a sigh I went to Jay and asked him to cleanse me, please. As all good witch men, he was happy to serve me in this, and I was soon filled with his enema and screaming from his love. Jane was irritated for a couple of days and still not too happy that Louisa had so hurt me, but slowly she calmed and settled down.

After my ten-day rest, we returned to school and I did better. The following week I only got one spanking, and when Louisa did it I had to struggle to even cry. When it was done she told me again how sorry she was for her last spanking, and I hugged her hard.

The school classes were fascinating. The ones that I used to hate so much that were mostly just memorizing endless mindless facts were suddenly some of my favorite classes. History is a good example. We witched the info into our brains and then in class we talked about it and the professor explained the WHY behind the facts. The endless trying to remember was gone and replaced with a desire to instead understand. Most of our classes were labs and would have been beyond belief before passing or to a Fragilis. Imagine a lab class in enemas!!! We each brought our “lab partner,” and under the supervision of a professor we were given special enemas.

There was even a lab for spankings and the proper use of discipline and how to care for the well-toasted ass afterwards. I have to admit, I never have toughened up much and cried a LOT in this class.

Like all universities, the very best part and the part where I learned the most was the social life after classes.
