Chapter 277: The Life of Hart (2) (2/2)

I began to see light… Light in people's hearts… One not pure, but full of corruption and malice. I could not tell if I was dreaming or simply going crazy. But, everything I saw seemed too accurate to be fake.

The light was a mixture of black and yellow with hints of distortion, a small, dim aura flowing from it all the way up into the sky.

When I looked at my own heart, it seemed almost completely pure, but the heart that flashed into my head was most definitely not… It was a memory of my old heart when I was younger and it was the most distorted light I have ever seen, the light flowing above me was also thicker than any other.

The only person that even managed to compare to it was Jayden, which was part of why I so adamantly despised her…

From that point forward, I lived my life anew. It was like I had opened my eyes for the first time since I was born.

I tried to tell others about it but all they did was call me crazy so I decided to keep it to myself.

From that point forward, I promised myself that I would never allow such a tragedy to happen again and do the same mistakes.

I promised myself, and for Oliver that I would change my ways and use my power for something other than to pray upon the weak like some king.

That was what I lived for. I had a purpose in life.

From that point forward, I used my new hidden powers to save those who were not distorted and pure of heart, which was even harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

From what I noticed, hearts rarely ever change and people with no abilities had significantly less distortion than those with abilities, so those became the people I tried to save and help the most.

I managed to find 3 or 4 other friends but none of them would really last since they always thought I had something else planned for them like a trap seeing the status and power I held.

That was why I was so ecstatic to see you two! Moby and Ray! Your hearts held little to no distortion so I saw myself gravitating towards you! Especially you Moby! Your heart was pure like snow and held little to even zero distortion at all! It was my first time ever seeing something like that!

So, protecting you two was my new goal which I did take a little too harshly looking back at it.

Jayden, your heart has also definitely changed! The distortion is still there but nowhere near as bad as before!

And, Abby's heart was also unnaturally pure and innocent with also little to no distortion which might be the reason I fell for her since she was better than any girl I've seen before.

Anyways, that's all I wanted you to know… I know this corrupted light in the heart sucking invisible dust into the sky seems really hard to believe so take of it what you will, I just wanted you to know it and I hope it helps you! Maybe you can uncover something that even I didn't!

Sincerely, Alex Hart, the dead man that hopefully accomplished something with his death and brought happiness to others.
