While it came as no surprise to me, Dad, or Xilia that we had been admitted into the Academy, the same couldn’t be said for Paola and Abuela, who insisted on throwing a big party for us, one which grew even larger in scale when she found Brenden’s name too.
And just like that, our quiet lives began picking up steam; however, when New Year’s Eve rolled around a few days later, something happened.
I had been sitting in the upstairs room watching TV when I got a sudden tingling sensation in the back of my head, which caused me to bolt to my feet and rush toward the door leading to Gnarina, startling Xilia, Brenden and Emilia, who were deeply invested in the Second Henry Potter movie we had been watching.
"Woah, what the hell…and hes gone…" That was all I heard as I slammed the door to Gnarnia behind me and equipped my cloak before activating the stealth skill.
In a flash, I arrived 25 miles away from my house by way of the teleportation array. The moment my feet touched down on solid ground, I was in motion, running at full speed through the winding trees until I reached a large bridge overlooking the rushing rapids of the Saint Johns River.

Standing on the ledge of the bridge, wearing a baby blue maternity gown…was Sadie.
That tingling sensation I had felt earlier was one of the effects afforded by my Psy-Tag skill, as it would only trigger if someone I had tagged were in danger or planning to do something life-threatening. It didn’t take me any time at all to understand what was happening.
So, in less than 10 seconds upon arriving in Gnarnia, I had checked our connection, saw flashes of what Sadie could see, estimated the rough location, and teleported there.
’This stupid fucking bitch cracked under the pressure.’ Clicking my tongue, I appeared beside Sadie on the edge of the bridge while looking out over the water and revealing myself.
Of course, someone suddenly manifesting beside her was more than enough to send the girl stumbling into the drink below, but I had anticipated that, and when she flinched, I caught her by the shoulder and rooted the nearly full-term pregnant girl in place.
"Who….Taylor…let me go; I can’t do this; I can’t bring a child into the world; my parents are demanding I do it and raise it! I am BARELY 18; how am I supposed to give a good life to my child!" Having an immediate mental breakdown upon realizing it was me who had appeared, tears poured down Sadie’s face as she pulled with all her might to try and get free from my grasp.
"This is your penance, woman. You wronged me in your past life, and now you must pay the consequences. Killing yourself and my unborn child is completely out of the question." With a tone that oozed a seething rage, I glared into Sadie’s eyes and caused her to freeze.
"You are nothing more than a sow, a breeding slave whose sole purpose is to bring one child after another into this world; if I have to lock you away to ensure the safety of my children, I am not above doing so." As I spoke, I scanned through her mind and understood very quickly what was happening.
’Her fractured mind has stitched itself together, creating dual, coexisting personalities who are in communication with each other. Both halves are fully aware of everything that has transpired, making a present and Origin Timeline thought chain.’
In a word, she knew everything: the memories from what she did to me back in the Origin Timeline, along with everything that had happened in this timeline, were merged, and sure, there were holes like how was it possible and whatnot, but since I had been careful only to give her the memories of high school from the Origin Timeline, I didn’t have to worry about Arkadia stepping in and assaulting me for no reason.
"How can you do this to me…." Sadie cried through thick sobs.
"How could you betray me and feed me to Paul and his gang without remorse? Were we, not friends, were we not close? Heh, you used me, so now I am using you. Your body belongs to me, and once you pop out that child in your belly, I will fuck you until you don’t remember who you are and put a second one inside of you." I snarled with my lip curled up and eyes glowing Icy Blue in fury.
"You made my life HELL Sadie; you destroyed what little self-confidence I had and took advantage of the fact that I was head over heels for you; what goes around comes around bitch, now GET THE FUCK OFF THIS LEDGE!" Lifting her by the shoulder with ease and ignoring the loud pop that came from her arm slipping out of the socket or collar bone cracking under the force of my grip, I lightly dropped her onto the ground.
"And don’t think that I am above cutting you open right here and now to remove my child because, guess what?" With a snap of my fingers, we were teleported to Gnarnia, more importantly, into the Medical Facility, which was fully ready for a c-section birth to be executed.
"I not only have the means but the resources to do so, AND keep you alive. TRY ME AGAIN, SADIE AND YOUR LIFE WILL BECOME 50 TIMES WORSE; with another snap of my fingers, I triggered the minute amount of particles lurking in Sadie’s body, raising my artwork to the surface of her skin before handing her a mirror and watching horror take over her facial expressions.
"Imagine being forced to go to school looking like a monster while pregnant. If you think you get looks now, just wait. The best part is I can take them all away as swiftly as I make them appear."
SNAP
With a second snap, the scars faded, returning Sadie’s beauty to her again.
Then, without further discussion, I wound up and punched Sadie square in the jaw, knocking her out instantly, and it took every fiber of my patience to stop myself from hitting her a second time.
I had been pushed too far this time, and although it had been an expected development, I snapped…the only issue is, I’m not sure why.
