A couple of days later

Two days later, Katie heard a knock on her door. When she answered, she was met by the local postman who had her parcel in hand. "I have a parcel for this address madam." Katie looked down at his hands and realised it was her costume that he had brought to her.

"Oh, yes. I've been waiting for this to arrive." Katie then signed the electronic pad to confirm delivery and took the parcel indoors. "I can't wait to try this on and see what it looks like." She opened the box and tipped it out onto her bed, then started to sort out each item in order to arrange everything into a more discernible layout. Katie had opted for the sexy skirt and crop top witch option, all in black of course. With it came a pair of knee high boots with a chunky heel, a box containing the black contacts, and another larger box with the face paint. What she didn't expect was a small notebook that came with it. "What's this?" Picking the book up and turning it over to look at the front cover, she discovered that it was supposed to be a book of spells and potions. "Oh my. This just gets better and better." She mused. "Anyone gets out of hand I'll threaten to turn them into a frog." Knowing she had to go to work that evening, she decided to give the costume a quick try out. First the skirt and then the top went on. Then the hat and the boots. Katie admired herself in the mirror. "It'll look better with the contacts and the face paint on, but I think I need to add something." She sat and thought about it for a while. In the end she decided that what she was missing was a pair of stockings to the costume. "I'm supposed to be a sexy witch so stockings would be better than tights. I'll see what I can get out of the Anne summers shop on the way to work."

It was now late afternoon and Katie quickly took a detour to the nearest Anne summers shop to get herself some stockings to add to her costume. She opted for a pair of small holed fishnets and a really slim belt to hold them up with. Now that she had that out of the way, she had to get to work and hope that the traffic wouldn't hold her up to long. Last thing she needed was to be late and get in trouble. She eventually managed to get there with 5 minutes to spare.

"Not like you to be cutting it this close Katie." Commented Mark. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah fine. My costume arrived today for the party and I needed something else to go with it. Traffic was a bit worse than I thought it would be."

"Ah, I see. Well about your party." Katie now thinking she'd have to cancel due to Mark's tone. "I told Maria about it and she got really angry to start with. She calmed down a bit after I explained that you invited her as well and told her what you said about wanting things to be cool between the two of you. She was ok after that, but said she still doesn't trust you. However, she is willing to give it go and give you the benefit of the doubt."

Katie felt a weight lift of her shoulders. "Oh thank god for that. For a minute I thought you wasn't going to be able to come. You two better get a costume sorted then. It's a fancy dress party."

"Already sorted Katie. Got my cape and pitchfork from the last couple of fancy dress parties I've been to. Maria's is going to be little red riding hood for the night. Before you think about telling me I should be the wolf, you can forget it. I hate things covering my face, claustrophobia. So what you dressing up as on the night then?"

"I have got myself a sexy witch costume. Shannon told me about his place in Soho. So I went there and had a look. They had the best witches costume I've seen, so I got it. I think you'll like it." Katie immediately thought. "That might have come out wrong." Then added. "Maria might think I'm trying hard to impress you though. But it's my party so I'll dress how I want." She said it with smile so as not to appear arrogant or bitchy.

Katie's shift passed without incident and headed home in a jubilant mood. Walking through her front door, She went straight into the bedroom to get some sleep. Come the morning Katie had hours to try the costume on and this time, with some of the face paint. After a short time, she was dressed up and ready to put the paint on her face. Opening up the manual for the various different options, Katie opted for a tribal design. Starting from her forehead down past her temples and cheek bones and down her neck before deciding to join them in the middle of her throat. Looking at herself for a short time in the mirror, Katie then opted to add some more to go over her forehead to join the two side together above her eyes too. "This don't look too bad. Now, do I try the contacts on or not. Decisions, decisions." She mulled it over for a few minutes before deciding. "What the hell. May as well try it and see." Katie struggled for a short time but managed to achieve contact insertion after a few minutes. At that point Katie then received a jolt. "What the fuck was that? Felt like I just got electrocuted." When the initial feeling subsided, Katie then went to the mirror to inspect her look. "Wow. You can't even see the whites of my eyes. I'm starting to really like this costume."

Katie stayed in her costume for an hour or so doing some housework before deciding it was time to look at the book of spells and potions. She come across some that really caught her interest. But still found them amusing. "Love potions and spells to turn people into different animals. I expected no less. And most containing ****. The only trick coming into play here is people getting severely pissed up." Putting the book down she laughed at herself. "Talk about giving you a way to get everyone super drunk." What Katie didn't know. Now she had tried the full costume on, she had released the spirit of witch who was once considered a kind woman until she was burnt at the stake. This spirit was now imprinting herself in Katie with the intention using her to gain her **** on those that treated her so cruelly in the past. Katie however, knew she had to get ready to go to work shortly and reluctantly removed the costume to change. But now the witch had been freed, it was only a matter of time before the inevitable would occur.
