- So, you mean you have powers and didn't know?
- I'm telling you, Ethan! I inherited my grandmother's powers!
- But you just said she died, how could you have found her?
They were talking in the living room at Ethan's house.
- She said she put part of her conscience with me, to find me when this day finally came.
Ethan frowned, and looked at Evelline, a little disbelievingly.
- Before you judge me and say I'm getting crazy, think that you're not that normal either! - she said surly.
- Calm down, I'm just trying to understand. Tell me more about these "Saviors" that she mentioned.
- All I know is that they want to bring destruction and disorder to the world, that's all.
Ethan looks across the room, thinking about what to say.
- I know it sounds crazy in my head, but you need to believe me!
- I believe you, it's just that it's a little difficult to find the right words...
She demonstrates using her powers to levitate a table between them.
Ethan is quite surprised to see the table in the air with a blue aura around it. Then Evelline slowly puts back on the floor.
- Let's go in parts, you received your grandmother's powers, right? Did she say anything else to you?
- She explained that my family has a line of heroes and everything, and that I need ... WAIT.
Ethan is looking at her, very confused.
- THAT'S IT!
- What are you talking about, Evelline?
- Ethan, please come with me, I need your help!
- But where are we going? It's almost late at night.
- I promise to explain everything to you on the way, but please come with me!
And without having many options, he just accepted.
Meanwhile, Sarah was at home, crying a lot in her room, she rolled from side to side on the bed, countless handkerchiefs were on her bedroom floor.
Her cat had climbed onto the bed by surprise, he lay down next to Sarah, and slept. She squeezed him and said:
- You're the one who doesn't cheat on me, aren't you?
And the cat responds lovingly with a muffled purr.Sarah then relaxes for a while and sleeps.
A rain starts during the night, thunderstorms and flashes too.Sarah wakes up, feeling her cat's absence, she gets up and sits on the bed, looks around for her cat, but he definitely wasn't there.Until she hears a loud meow outside, and at the same time Sarah gets up and runs outside.
When she arrives in the yard, she is static, a man with a threatening black cloak and hood was standing in the middle of the path, he looks at Sarah, and with a wide and strange smile he greets her:
- Hello, dear Sarah.
She steps back a little and replies, trembling:
- I-I don't have any money, sir...
The man gives a light laugh and says:
- I'm not here for money, Sarah.
She steps back a little more, trying to reach a shovel that was next to the door she entered.
