Of Sins and Saints - Dangerous Fellows

Chapter 6 - The Second Threat

~Flashback - 1 Year ago~

"There you go, now how about you try playing this last line for me Y/n? It always seems like you're messing up a little bit on the last part" My Auntie was currently helping me try to play the last line in my music piece that had to be perfected for next month.

I was already pretty amazing at it already since I practice alone in school or at home but recently I've been struggling to play the last line for a while and had to get my Auntie to help. "Alright, I'll give it a go as a whole..."

So far, the beginning and middle were pure perfection and even managed to make my Auntie fall over in Nostalgia since she mentioned it was something she loved playing herself back in her old days.

The last few lines though, my pace became noticeably slow and struggling to keep up with it and eventually, I had to stop because I had no idea where I was going this time. "Ah drat...sorry Aunt."

She shook her head and took the paper for herself. "It's alright Y/n, you'll soon be able to master it just like I did...maybe try 1 bar at a time, learn it well then link it with the rest of your playing...it worked for me!"

That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea...perhaps I should give it a go. "Okay...I'll try it." Again, I went in to play the music very well but this time around I decided to try the 3rd 1st bar only with it and stop there...

And surprisingly, it worked out pretty well! With each bar in the music piece I played once, it all came together perfectly in the end and at last...I finally played the entire track at once...and it was complete...a pure accomplishment if I say so myself.

"Well done Y/n...you've actually learnt that a lot faster than I have!" My Aunt and I giggled at that fact, until the tone around us died down when she frowned. "I...don't want you thinking that your condition is...dangerous or...deadly...think of it as something...unique."

"Auntie...whatever is inside me is surely causing the doctors to scramble around and learn about what it is...it's like some sort of spider with numerous legs inside me and it always goes towards wherever I'm hurt...preventing like infections from getting in, but the blood in me still pours out."

This thing I have...it's like a superpower...but also not...I may have something in me that can prevent me from getting infections, but I have to keep in mind that blood can still fall out of me and...yeah, you get the point.

"That is true...gosh, I only hope it really is a check up rather than a surgery..." My eyes widened as my Aunt looked away and said that last part in whispers. "I'm sorry...what did you say?" She turned to me in shock, seemingly afraid that I may have found out about...something.

"N-Nothing dear...it's nothing to worry about...h-here, how about we try another one of your pieces before dinner?" Her tone became worried as she grabbed another music sheet from my bag and placed it on the stand.
