Save My Heart

🌕 Chapter Twenty Eight 🌕

"Is anyone home? Or awake?"

Silence would have overtaken the house if I didn't hear Aunt Violet putting her jacket up with the others.

'Please don't see me, please don't see me!' I begged in my mind.

"That's weird, I swear this jacket was supposed to be over here..."

My heartbeat thrummed in my chest as I felt Aunt Hazel's fingertips brush over the jacket I was hiding under.

"Violet? Did I hear you or was it just the music I was listening to?"

"Oh Hazel! For a second I didn't think you were home yet."

I felt the presence of the hand disappear from beside me, and once the door closed, I let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"You're my partner in crime now." I whispered after I grabbed it from under me, "You ain't got no choice." I spoke to the person on the other end - who was already a criminal.

"That was worse than hiding from Rayleigh with the kids," The tablet sighed, "Good thing I never have to do that again."

"Rayleigh?" I asked from curiosity.

"Don't mind that." The voice stated, "Besides, it's time to go!"

"Can you tell me where we are going agaAAAAHHH-!"

Within seconds, my body contorted into an awkward 'V' shape before a bitter cold bit my nose. I opened my eyes just to see white? Coming at me at a really, really fast speed?

"Sinner's Hand: Activated."

"Why did your voice change- OH SHI-"

Before I could finish the forbidden curse word, I face-planted into a large snowdrift.

"Cold, cold, COLD!!! You could've let me put my jacket on before throwing me in the snow-" I exclaimed while pushing my face out of the snow.

"Won't you shake a poor, Sinner's hand?"

"NO! I WOULD NOT! I WATCHED THAT IN A MOVIE LAST WEEK!!! AND WHY DO YOU SOUND LIKE A ROBOT WOMAN?!" I screamed.

"The User, (Y/n) D. Drakon, is capable of making deals with people by saying the activation phrase: "Won't you shake a poor, Sinner's hand?" After the activation phrase, the person The User wishes to make a deal with must shake their hand."

"Wait- I'M the sinner? Does that mean I have like, superpowers or something?" Curiosity got the better of me, overriding my anger easily as I fully sat up and slipped my arms through my jacket, "If you told me I was going to have superpowers then I would have come with you sooner!"

"Really?" The tablet said indigenously, its voice went back to normal.

"I mean come on!" I started, trying to stand up but slightly failing due to my right leg, "What kid doesn't want superpowers?"

"Your world is strange." Roger muttered, "But yes, you have 'superpowers'."

"Wait- if I have superpowers, can I use them on myself?"

Before brushing the snow off of the rest of my head, I sat up and shook the rest of the snow off of my body. Then, I stuck my hand out in front of me.

I mentally set my intention in my mind since I remembered from the movie that the main villain bad guy didn't say his intention to Prince Naveen and still managed to turn him into a frog.
