Izzy swung her legs as she drew with her crayons, making drawings of her and Hit. Hit smiled, but frowned when Valentina and another woman came in. Valentina sat down across from Izzy, who looked up at her. The other woman sat down at the head of the table.
"We're going to try to talk with your imaginary friend, okay Isabelle?" Valentina asked. Izzy tilted her head.
"But he's right here. He can see you and answer your questions," she said.
"But I can't see or hear him. But Miss Bethany here can help me speak to him, alright?"
Izzy nodded. Hit sat down in a chair too, as Bethany began a seance.
"...There is another entity in this room...sitting beside Isabelle," Bethany spoke. Her eyes were closed. Hit shifted in his seat. "What is your name?"
"Hit," he answered.
"Hit... Why are you here, Hit?"
"I don't know. I...was erased, and I ended up here. I just...stayed with Isabelle. Brenda, her sister, asked me to take care of her, and I promised that I would. When Valentina's ex attacked -I don't know his name- I protected Izzy and got him out of the apartment," Hit explained. Bethany relayed this information, and Valentina put a hand to her mouth.
"I...I owe you, then. Thank you," she said.
"It wasn't a problem. I'm just doing what I promised," Hit replied, and Bethany relayed.
"Still...it makes me a little calmer...seeing that you're not going to hurt her..." Valentina said quietly.
"He wouldn't hurt me! He's my friend!" Izzy declared. Hit smiled and nodded.
Bethany finished the seance. Valentina payed her, and she left. Valentina sat back down across from Izzy again, who went back to drawing. Valentina smiled a bit.
A/N: Sorry that it's a short chapter, but this is a little more plot-driven and less adorable. I promise though, you'll want to hunt me down when you see how it'll end.
