Villainess Reborn: Poppy

Poppy: Nineteen-Calling

     Looking downstairs yet again, I suddenly felt something pull me towards them. It felt distant but familiar at the same time. I didn't know why but I felt anxious about the connection. It was as if all my self control is slowly rotting away. It felt bad.

     It did felt bad however I also felt overwhelming power from whatever I had connection with. It was as if it was calling out to me. But what was it? What was the things that was calling out to me? And whatever it was, they have it.

     "What's the matter Poppy?" I heard Fawn asked. She was right next to me but it sounded distant for some reason.

     "Something's calling me..." I murmured and Fawn looked at me with furrowed brows. I saw a glow in a box that was chained up and the calling grew louder. It was suddenly the only thing I heard. It was getting louder and louder and my vision was slowly closing in and there was only the box and me.

     At some point I hear Fawn's voice but it was quickly overwhelmed by the voice inside my head. The warmth from Fawn's hand started to go away and all I could feel was the heat from my own body. It felt like I was being sunk into lava and I finally let go of Fawn's hand.

     By letting go of her hand, it was like breaking the chains that was holding me back and I slowly made my way downstairs. My eyes was glued on the box and my body only wanted one thing-whatever is in that box.

     "Poppy, what are you doing?" Whoever said that, I would also like to know what I was doing. I felt like a puppet to my own body.

     "Poppy! Don't touch that!" My hand was an inch away from the box when they said that. I stopped myself and that was it. I was frozen an inch away from what was calling me.

     "Someone take away the jewel! Now!" I heard somebody scream.

     'Come...little one, take the box...' Wow, Creepy much? Although it was creepy my hand continued to the box but someone already took right from my grasp and I felt annoyed. For fucks  sake already! I was so close to getting it!

     I looked towards the person who took it and saw my older brother Fox holding the box. I sighed in annoyance and raised my hand towards him. I didn't know what I was doing but it felt like my body knew-it was as if I'd done this a hundred time.

     "Fox...hmmm." What the actual fuck? That's my brother right there! What am I about to do with him? I ain't going to kill him, right?

     "Give me the jewel, Fox." I ordered as my hand started to glow red. I was about to use magic? But that wasn't possible. I didn't have mana nor was I compatible with magic. I couldn't use magic in my first life and suddenly after being reborn I can?! What the fuck?!

     "Poppy?!" Fawn screamed my name and I looked towards her. She looked confused and so did everyone else. Honestly so was I. I didn't know what was happening to me but I knew I had to get  the jewel or else.

     "Who are you?" Fox growled. Who-who am I?! I am your sister fucker! I am your five year old sister with a body of a two year old, brother! Is it that hard to believe that?

     "I'm Poppy, asshole." Should have not said the bad word but you know, I am Poppy. I was just doing something that isn't controlled by me.

     "Poppy!" I hear Fawn exclaim in shock and I could only grimace inside my head. I heard paws and Eliana came along. She looked at me then at the jewel. She was confused but I was more confuse than any of them put together.

     "What's wrong with her?" Eliana asked the one obvious question but none of us knew.

      "We don't know!? She suddenly started acting weird and tried to get the jewel but before she could Fox got it and now she can use magic!???" Fawn looked really scared.

     "Fawn, you have to calm down." That seemed to snap Fawn and her eyes went wet and her face looked angry and worried at the same time. I don't like this anymore. I want this to be over.

     "I lost my sister once! I'm not going to let it happen again!" So Fawn was really worried about me? It felt nice. My hand that was glowing red slowly returned back to normal and so did the glowing jewel.

     I finally felt like my body was in my control again and boy was I happy! My glowing red hand turned back into a normal hand but I still felt the connection. Not only that, when I thought that the jewel returned into its dormant stage it glowed brighter.

     'It's either you take me as yours or those bad people will...' This sucks! I don't want to be responsible for the fate of trillions of innocent creatures! I can't even be responsible to my own life and you expect me to be responsible for others?! What kind of logic is that? Well, it's the messed up one...
