"Use this wisely Theo. You only have ten minutes of this gift." We hear Moona's voice in our head then feel a tingle in our throat. We suddenly begin coughing, feeling as if something was chocking us. After a fit of coughing, and surprisingly, Izzy trying to help us we took in a large breath of air.
"That felt weird." We say unconsciously and our eyes widen. We just spoke but...Moona. We roll our eyes but still send her a silent thank you.
"So you lied about the no voice. Gawd, do you ever stop!" Izzy suddenly yells and tries to walk away again. We growl lowly in our throats and grab her wrist gently. We turn her to face us, needing her to listen to us.
"Take the medallion off, please." We say to her, pulling our shirt off. We didn't want to risk touching that blasted thing again. We could only hope that when Izzy touched it, it wouldn't harm her. She took a step back and looked at us, baffled.
"Why?"
"Please Izzy, I don't have much time." She sighed and stepped closer. Her body close to ours. We clenched our fists tightly, restraining from bringing her into our embrace. Her hands ran up our chest then reached for the chain. We waited for her to hiss in pain but that never came. Her hands wrapped around the necklace and pulled it over our head.
We're free.
We couldn't believe it, after all this time, we were finally free. We smiled and pulled Izzy to us, hugging her tightly. We let out a relieved sigh, knowing that they can't control us anymore.
"Let go of me!" She yelled again, making us release the hold we had on her. We looked at her then opened our mouth to explain. We told her everything. We didn't miss a single detail. By the time we had finished explaining her eyes were glazed over, not wanting the tears to fall.
Instead of saying anything she wrapped her arms around us, hugging us tightly.
"I'm sorry." She whispered and we looked down at her in confusion.
"Why are you sorry?"
"I called you a monster, when you were being controlled. I'm so sorry Theo-" We put our hand over her mouth, knowing that she's going to go on a cute little rant.
"It's okay Izzy. I also apologize. I know that no words will explain how sorry I am for taking your parents away from you, but I am truly sorry."
"Yeah...I just don't know what to do now? I'm sorry Theo but how can I be with someone who killed my parents? Even if it wasn't intentional." We sighed and stood back, nodding our head.
Just as I was about to reach the woods, I was tackled to the ground. I thrashed and snarled at Beau, trying to get him away from me.
"Stop, please stop!" I yell as he hovers above me, pinning me to the ground. He smirks down at me then drops the spider on top of my shirt. He quickly climbs off of me as I let out a loud shreek.
"Ew....Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" I continue to scream, not having the courage to touch the horrid creature. As I continue to scream for help I can see Beau on the floor laughing like a lunatic.
"Someone help me please!"
"You're still scared of spiders?" I hear Daddy's voice sigh from above me. I see his large hand reach down and remove the spider from my shirt before setting it on the ground. I quickly shuffle away from it, hiding behind his leg. He chuckles softly before reaching down, picking me up. I wrap my arms around him, hiding my face in the crook of his neck. I try to speak but it comes out muffled.
"What did you say?"
"I said that they are the devil's spawn, along with clowns." I say pouting as I pull away to look at him. He continues to chuckle as we walk back to the pack house, Beau walking behind us.
