Mab’s Secret
“Whoever’s that?” Elsie nodded towards the young woman who’d entered the coffee shop and slipped a full length cloak from her shoulders, displaying a manner of dress twice as peculiar.
“Oh, that’s Mab,” said Joyce.
“I thought Mab was that old witch who lives next door to you.”
“She died. This one’s her heir. She’s just as strange; saw her dancing round the garden at midnight… barely dressed. Said she was honouring the moon goddess. As for that ferret…”
Mab smiled. She might be three-hundred and forty-nine, but looked pretty good for her age. Rejuvenation spells definitely had their uses!

Thanks, Linda. I figured it was time she came out for a dusting off. I could definitely use one of her rejuvenation spells too!!
They sure definitely have. I can see the reason she dances barely dressed every midnight. They’re true ‘Mab’s Secret’.

Yes, for rejuvenation spells. I can just imagine two busybody gossips talking about an attractive young woman. I appreciate your humorous story, Carrie.
Thanks, Margarida. I’d love to say that Mab looked just like me, but then I’d be telling porkies!

Thanks, Lotchie. Yes, I would love a rejuvenation spell. One that made my body not feel a million years old would be welcome too!
You’re welcome. Me too.

Thanks, Marianna. Glad you enjoy the Mab stories. Cat was the troublesome familiar, he was in her past though at this stage. Her current familiar is Miss-Teeq, ‘that ferret’ as mentioned by Joyce. Miss-Teeq generally likes to stay home and feast on the insect population, though she does undertake the occasional rescue mission once she realises that Mab may have been missing for several months!
Loved it. well done, Carrie ?

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleThank you, Steven. I always enjoy writing about Mab. I think she’s my magical alter ego. I could really do with her magic though. ‘That ferret’ mentioned in this story is her familiar called Miss-Teeq who usually prefers staying home and keeping the insect population in check, but goes on the occasional rescue mission when required.
