The Day Her Villaism Died

CHAPTER 7

"What?" I whisper to myself. "How did those get there?"

"I was about to ask the same question actually." Hayleigh is looking at me sternly. She turns to Alina and hands her phone to her. "Call Sanchez ok?" is all she says before Alina shoots me a dirty look and runs off to make the call.

Everyone's panicking again and shooting accusations at me.

"I could already tell from the moment you walked in here, Madeleine, that you were up to no good!" A voice says.

"It's Alex!" I shout annoyed at the crowd of people because I have no idea who said that.

"You stole Alina on purpose!" Another voice says.

"I didn't steal or kidnap her." I shout again. "She ran away and was about to get robbed. I saved her. You're welcome!"

"But you stole those jewels!" Another voice says.

"I didn't!" I think I'm going to lose my voice with all this shouting I'm doing. "I don't even know how they got there, I wasn't wearing this outfit and it was 2 days ago! Y'all need to get your facts straight!"

"That ain't the only thing that's going to need straightening out, Madeleine." A voice which I recognized this time says behind me.

I turn around and see Sanchez along with his group of merrymen right behind him. His smirk makes me nauseous.

He walks on over to me like he's the King or something and I see the gleaming handcuffs in his hands. Open.

He's now right in front of me and puts my hand in handcuffs. "You know, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, Covey."

I try to fight him off but fail and he's putting the handcuffs on with my hands behind my back.

"You've made this party and today very memorable." He adds and I suddenly can't take it anymore.

I'm not backing down without a fight.

The left corner of my lips suddenly twitches into a smirk. "So why don't we make it more memorable?"

Just before Sanchez was going to lock the handcuffs I use telekinesis to grab the gun I see attached to his belt. And fire it at the gleaming chandelier looming over us.

Bang. It shatters.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" I hear Hayleigh scream but I suddenly feel no remorse for anyone in this room.

I fire at the chandelier again.

"Get her!" Sanchez says and that's how I end up being chased around the room by a bunch of police officers while shooting stuff down in the process.

I duck and dodge and it feels great that they can't get me. And before long over half of the room has been destroyed.

Since I can't see the other policemen around I just start shooting everywhere. I don't know why actually, but I'm too angry at all the accusations about me to care. I just keep shooting everything left, right and cent-

"Madeleine Alexandra Covey you're under arrest for allegedly kidnapping a minor and property damage. Everything you say will be used against you in court." I turn around and see Sanchez staring back at me.
