Putting a foot down and another magic lesson

"That’s nothing, I’m the youngest of seven sisters, and every single one of them has asked me to introduce them to Caleb. Mom wants me to invite him over for dinner one night so they can bunny fuck him. Dad left when Bethany, that’s my fourth sister, when she became an adult. He just couldn’t handle stretching them constantly. He missed so much work, he almost lost his job.”

Heather snorted, “No offense Misty, but maybe what they say about Hubunnies is a little true.”

She held her hand up to forestall comments, “I don’t mean you would ever cheat on Caleb with the first dick that came along, or that I think you’re all nymphomaniacs. I just mean you like sex and aren’t shy about it. There’s nothing wrong with that. Me, June, Amelia, and Lu have a foursome every night, and that’s on top of what we do with everyone else during the day. I've been getting way more sex than I did as a cheerleader, and that's saying something.”

Misty smiled but it quickly turned into a frown. Heather looked around as she closed her locker. They were surrounded. Nine cheerleaders stood nearby watching them. If it came to a fight, counting Gabbie, the odds would be three against one. Not good, but Heather brandished her claws anyway.

The old Heather would have abandoned her friends at the first opportunity. But she had changed, in more ways than one. Misty’s powerful hubunny legs would allow her to get away, or kick the shit out of anyone that caught her, but Gabbie was a normie. Worse, Gabbie was in high heeled boots today. She wouldn’t get very far on them, and she could easily break an ankle trying to run. Heather would have to take on as many as she could if her new friends were going to escape.

Tanya and Madison stepped forward as soon as they knew they had Heather's attention. Heather dropped her backpack and extended her claws. She wore her claw caps, so her razor sharp claws wouldn't slice her opponents to ribbons, but she could still do damage with them. If the cheerleaders were stupid enough to take them on a few at a time, Heather could take them down, even with her claw caps on.

She got into one of the fighting stances Lu was teaching her. Lu’s fighting style was geared especially for hucats, with a lot of claw raking slaps rather than punches. Heather was still a beginner, but the Lotus Sisters had spent centuries perfecting their fighting techniques, and if worse came to worst, Heathers claws were as sharp as surgical scalpels. It would only take a second to pop her caps off.

Madison stopped mid-step, her eyes going wide. Tanya stopped as well, but held up her hands. “Whoa Heather. We just want to talk. We are being good, remember?”

Heather angrily growled, “Oh yeah? Then why block us in? And why all the backup?” She swept her paw in the direction of the other cheerleaders.

Tanya took another slow step forward while waving her fellow cheerleaders to move to the side and said, “That’s not what this is. I swear. We… We want you to come back. To cheerleading. We want you to be our captain again.”

Heather purred her laughter. “As if! You kicked me to the curb as soon as you found out what I am. Not one of you defended me. Why should I believe you now?”

Madison pleaded, “It’s true Heather. We want you back. Really we do.” The other cheerleaders nodded their agreement.

Heather dropped her fighting stance and stood upright. “Why? Give me one good reason.”

Tanya threw her hands in the air and said, “Because we were wrong. We were happier with you in charge. We know that now. Kesha is a terrible captain. All she cares about is money and coming up with idiotic ways to chase after Caleb. Did you know she threw a gangbang today and didn’t invite any of us? She took over twenty guys in her holes and is off selling their cum right now.”

Madison stepped next to Tanya and said, “We’re sorry. We were wrong about you, and we were wrong to be bullies. They taught us that.” She pointed behind Heather at Misty and Gabbie. “The denizens showed us the difference between us and them. They care about each other more than we ever did.”

Heather crossed her arms, “Why do I get the feeling that this is all just a scheme to get close to Caleb? I’m his pet, so you’ll naturally be around him if we start hanging out again.”

Tanya shrugged, “I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t part of it.” She hastily added, “But the rest is true too. Look Heather, I won’t deny we thought you were a bitch, but you were our bitch. Wait, that came out wrong. What I mean to say is we could rely on you. You were mean, but you also looked out for us. With Kesha in charge, everyone turned against us. All of our boyfriends dumped us. We were the ones getting bullied. The titty mon… I mean, Kathy stood up for us, and just like that, the bullying stopped. We want to show that we have changed, and the best way to do that is to reinstate you as our captain.”

Heather laughed and shook her head. “Okay, so you guys have changed, but so have I. I became a cheerleader because I thought cheerleaders were cool, and I only ever wanted to be captain because it let me push people around. I thought that I was better than everyone else, and being captain proved it. I was a little tin god that thought she ruled the school. But you wanna know what I found out when you girls kicked me off the team?”

She uncrossed her arms and waved them around in a circle, “None of that shit matters. You said yourself that Kathy waved her hand and instantly you guys stopped getting bullied. Kathy rules the school better than I ever dreamed. But that isn’t even the point. I like who I am now. I’ve never been happier in my entire life. Becoming Caleb’s pet was the best thing that ever happened to me. There’s no pressure to constantly kick people and keep them down so they couldn’t rise above me. And the best part is, I don’t have to worry about constantly watching my back. I knew I could never trust any of you to do it for me. Well now I have real friends. Friends I love. Friends that would fight to protect me.”

She pulled Misty and Gabbie close and gave them side hugs. “Even if I wanted to be your captain again, I don’t have the time. Being Caleb’s pet means I have duties to perform. And being part of his harem means I have things I have to learn that they don’t teach us at school. Etiquette, martial arts, firearms training, sexual techniques, pole dancing, and that doesn’t even count the domestic stuff. I’m learning to cook, clean, and garden. Caleb’s mom is also teaching me how to manage a budget and invest in the stock market intelligently. And on top of all that, I have to be available to have sex with anyone in the harem, anytime they like, as my punishment for treating Kathy like shit for so long. Oh, and I still have to do my homework. So no, I will not be your captain ever again. You wanted Kesha, you can have her.”

She grabbed her bag off the ground and turned to her friends. “Let’s go girls.”

As soon as they were out of earshot of the cheerleaders, Misty giggled. "Wait till Kat hears about this. Her plan to get Kesha kicked off the cheerleading team is just about done."

Heather smiled brightly and smugly remarked, "Yeah, and the best part is, we didn't have to lift a finger until now. Misty, text Kat and let her know what just happened. I'm sure she's eager for stage two."

Caleb peeked his head out of the curtained off section of the art rom to see what all the commotion was about. What he saw made him grin. Kathy was standing on a sheet of painters plastic in the center of the room wearing a blindfold. Blobs of different colored paints floated around her as she waved her hands through the air. He almost expected his classmates to 'ooo' and 'ah'.

The smile on her face warmed Caleb's heart. She loved playing with her magic, and thanked him every time they were alone for giving it to her. He listened in as she began to speak.

"Okay everyone, I can feel the paint around me. Someone tell me a shape, anything."

Angie called out, "An apple."

Kathy's smile faded for a second, "I said shape, not thing. I meant like a triangle or something. Give me a second, this is going to require a more complex spell. I have to form the image in my mind."

Her hands darted this way and that as the blob of red paint floated around to settle in front of her and changed shape slightly. Then she moved her hand near the blob of green and two little dots broke off from it. They floated to the red blob as she did a similar motion toward the brown. A sliver of brown also floated over to the red. The green flattened into two leaves and attached themselves to the brown sliver. The stem and leaves settled onto the red blob and the classroom clapped and hollered as the apple took form and spun slowly in the air.

Kathy pulled her blindfold off and looked at her creation. She giddily jumped up and down causing her boobs to flounce around on her chest, threatening to tear through her sundress as she laughed gaily. "I did it! I did it!"

The apple and paint blobs wobbled for a second and began to fall as Kathy jumped around.

Angie cried out, "Kat!"

But Marilyn threw her hands out and rapidly cast an updraft spell under the apple, slowing its decent. The apple began to flatten and the paints mix together as Kathy scrambled to re-cast her own spells. Once she had the apple spinning in the air again, she meekly said, "Thanks guys. Okay Angie, cast the spell my mom taught you to dry your clothes. That should solidify the paint."

As Angie began casting, Marilyn asked, "Why are you using shadow magic? Mary said wind magic is best for levitation spells."

Kathy watched the paint dry as she responded, "I'm not, or not entirely. I'm using wind, water, and shadow. Water to hold the shape, since the paint is a liquid, wind to make it spin, and shadow magic to hold it in place in the air. I could do it all with water magic, but that would require a more complex set of spells. It's easier if I use a different spell type for each thing I want it to do, it just takes more mana. The blindfold was to help me focus, not to prevent me from seeing. Once my water magic touched each paint, I knew what colors they were. Once you get a little more practice, and your mana pool is big enough, Mom will teach you how to feel around you with your magic."

Angie finished drying the paint, so Kathy floated the apple over to Ms. Hart's desk and set it on the corner. Ms. Hart thanked them for the gift and gathered the rest of the class to admire Kathy's latest artwork.

Marilyn softly said, "Your mom said shadow magic is dangerous Kat. She told us not to mess with it."

Kathy put her arm around Marilyn's hip and reassured her, "I know it's dangerous, but I have an affinity for shadow magic. Most witches have a hard time controlling it, which is why it's so dangerous, and my mom won't use it at all. I think she’s too afraid of it. When witches were being hunted down centuries ago, the witch hunters used weapons and stuff enchanted with shadow magic. No one knows how they managed to get their hands on that stuff. Besides, any magic can be dangerous. It all depends on how you use it.”

Angie gave her two cents as well, “Fire magic is just as dangerous as Kathy’s shadow. I can turn a candle flame into an inferno if I use enough mana. Heck, the spell I used to dry the paint just now could burn you just as bad as putting your hand on a stove burner, and it’s just a combination of fire and wind magic. What you use your magic for is what makes it dangerous. Kathy’s shadow cock spell is a good example. She could use it on someone against their will, like she did with the dairy herd, but they loved it so I guess that doesn’t really count.”

Kathy smirked, “Weeeelllll. Amber did beg me to stop, but that was because I was overloading her with pleasure. I would never actually hurt someone with them. And the tattoos I gave them used water magic, so even though they didn’t like all of them, I didn’t use shadow magic.”

Thinking about her shadow cock spell lead her to thinking about the spell she created for making shadow tongues, and what she did to Melanie with them. She glanced at the curtained off area of the art room and smirked.

“Hey, you guys wanna have a laugh? I just had a great idea. I wanna play a prank on Caleb.”

Angie and Marilyn listened and wholeheartedly approved of her prank. Angie in particular was very excited. She hadn’t played a prank on anyone since she joined the harem.
