UNHINGED EVER AFTER

Chapter eight: Malevolent stare and Cheat passes

Through the same window of the tailor's/jewelers shop I had escaped from,I returned inside the shop back to the shelves.

Gotta get myself back inside.

And with another snap of my fingers, my initial unkempt self had been reversed, all dust gone and hair fixed and clean back to the plain Ginny you know.

As for Keir, safely tucked inside my core to heal.

" Alright then we'll be expecting you to come and fit my father's outfit for the square fest." Cormac stood up.

" Ah definitely sire, definitely I will come." He, the tailor, smiled and nodded.

" Ah, Ginny. Have you seen anything yet that caught your fancy?" Cormac turned to me as if he'd forgotten that I was at the other side of the shelves observing the necklaces.

" Not a piece has I'm afraid." I shrugged biting my lips. I feel tired.

Out of my peripheral vision again I noticed that the tailor (and jewelry owner, man this guy's got two businesses in one place and is making it rich) eyes looked at me. Behind them were sympathy written.

What the hell man.

" I do have just a necklace I planned to gift my lady on her as a thank you for visiting but now that you mentioned that none caught your interest, perhaps this one would." He beamed brightly before gesturing to one of his assistants to bring a box.

" What do you think my Lady?" He asked tentatively opening the lacy box and behold there was a sharp cut purple pendant that sat quietly glimmering.

" It's beautiful. Thank you so much for this gift. Please send it along with the other fabrics to the Mori Noir mansion." I smiled at several megawatts.

What. I love diamonds and purple makes an excellent choice for me.

" Shall we leave now ?" I asked Cormac and D'arcy lad.

" Let's go then, since we have other places to sight." D'Arcy lad spoke as he stood a good distance far away from me.

I nodded and we left the shop into the carriage and back to the streets. The carriage was awkwardly quiet again and I was actually glad it was.

" Aren't you going to the confectioners shop for anything to buy for yourself?" Cormac suddenly asked me as we passed a pink painted confectionery.

" No brother." I mumbled lowly as I trying to ignore how he's been staring strangely at me. But in the actual fact my heart sang.

Yes, I want to eat cake big brother!

"How about...we tour the Westin gardens of eternal spring and then we can go to the lake to relax your mind?"

" Not interested in that brother."

Yes please! I really would love to my sweet, sweet big brother! I've changed my mind about pushing you off the carriage.

" What do you want to do then?" Cormac's eyes softened as if in pity.

Go to the beach and have fun swimming and go to a big fancy all-you-can-eat-buffet restaurant and then the sauna.

" I  just want to sleep." I closed my eyes counting to ten so I won't blurt out my mind.

I suddenly could feel my sleep acting up again.

" You shouldn't have forced yourself to pretend to be strong if you really need to rest." Cormac leaned over to look closely.

" Are you okay?" He looked very concerned. " You've become so pale and thin."

" Just sleep brother"

And he shut up again in shock. The second time again!

Anyways! So while we are on our way back let me tell you what I found.

So that particular soul eater that I had previously met had an astral projection ability meaning it could act as an anti radar. Which explained why Keir couldn't sense them in the first place but then the first one's thoughts gave them away which made it easier for me to locate them.

I had used my hands to build enough sparks to disintegrate the creature when it held me in a vice grip.

You see one thing you need to get is that it's weakest point was it's head. And in it head is a crystal sphere the size of an egg which holds the kind of ability they use.

The first one was the anti radar ability and then the second was the ability capable of creating a shift in space ( an endless cheat ability without any catch for them if you ask me). It's just that not all of them posses this.

I once discovered this when one of the grand maje of my world accidentally split the head of a fully fledged soul eater he was supposed to catch during an invasion on their nest. He destroyed the sphere without realizing...um..I need to stop talking.

You are not supposed to know about that one yet.

Mhm. I had picked up the crystal sphere and then popped them in my pockets for future use.

"..."

I'm beginning to sound like those dramatic female lead with cheat pass deposited in every creature they've slain.

(*Shouts to no one in the sky with hands up in the air) Again author I'm not going to be the spotlight character and I will not be having an adventure time with anyone. You can take back the cheat passes and allow me to survive thank you very much.

And curse you plot sama for hurting my cat! Have you no shame throwing twists?!

(On another note; cheat passes are like time bombs. It's just like preparing a lamb (me) for grilling and stewing. Whenever you get a cheat pass, prepare yourself for more than the creature you've managed to slay.)

So I'll just dispose these spheres safely or sell them. I should.

When did is story even become more creepy and seriously unhinged than normal?! I feel like I'm teleported into the wrong fairytale.
