CHAPTER ONE

With Halloween approaching, Kiss is at the flying school practicing for her flight exam. She appears unable to fly, falling off her broom. The sister witches remind Kiss that if she doesn't pass her flying test, she won't be joined with a cat—her familiar—and she won't fly for Halloween. Kiss bikes back to Coven Hall. She looks in her closet where she has hidden a calico cat.

Kiss recalls finding a mud-covered cat during a picnic in the graveyard. She brought him home and washed the mud off. She was shocked to discover it was a calico cat. Kiss had never seen a cat that wasn't black. Raised under the town's ordinances, Kiss believed the cat did not belong in Halloween Hollow. She vowed to turn him over to the cat catcher. Kiss thought the cat was so ugly, that she named him Fugley. Time passes, and Kiss has yet to turn the cat in. (The color orange is introduced in the art.)
