### Chapter 1

The Webtoon opens on a family of 4 with the oldest daughter Sharon washing dishes, once done she goes to settle down for the night but is stopped by Pada who reminds her to take out their garbage and their neighbor's Garbage since he's out of town due to an incoming storm, Sharon reluctantly agrees (ch1 pg 6- Rustle)

Once outside Sharon is mesmerized by the stars and is taken out of her trance by rustling in the bushes which is being caused by a lone Guinea pig accordingly named Guinea, Sharon decides to bring him in to Pada to ask if she could keep him but she stops when she hears people talking through the window in the kitchen, she listens in and realize there are two robbers who've taken her father and brothers (Elijah and Isiah) hostage (ch 1 pg 10- eavesdropping)

The Robbers are interrogating Pada asking where a specific item is and when Pada refuses to tell them, they decide to look for themselves, Sharon uses this opportunity to talk to her family through the window while the robbers are gone but is quickly shut down by Pada as he tells her to be quiet since the robbers are coming back (ch 1 pg 11 Patience)

The Robbers inform Pada that if he doesn't tell them where "it" is in the next 30 minutes they'll kill him, when hearing that news Sharon lets out a gasp that the robber hears, to draw attention away from Sharon, Pada lies to the robbers saying his wife and daughter have died and no one else is there to look for them (ch 1 pg 15-Fatal)

The Robbers decide to lock the doors just in case which leaves Sharon locked outside helpless.

### Chapter 2

Sharon weighs her options to figure out how she might save her family but there seems to be nothing she can do (ch 2 pg 19- lucky stars)

She then notices a newspaper that Guinea is currently on top of and reads the headline to find out that the robbers inside are Carlos Jumblefield and Charles Baker who are on the run after they murdered a family who walked in on them robbing their house. Sharon then worries they'll carry out their promise in 30 minutes at midnight (ch 2 pg 22- Murder)

### Chapter 3

Sharon checks her watch to see that she's lost time and there's now only 15 minutes until midnight, she starts to panic until Guinea snaps her out of it and Sharon starts to focus on her surroundings to then get the idea of going to get help from the neighbors on the other side of the block who haven't left due to the storm however the first person who answers the door isn't very friendly and is convinced this is some sort of elaborate prank and slams the door on Sharon causing her to break down on the steps (ch 3 pg 24- wheelies and ideas)

where she's then spotted by the woman who lives in the upstairs apartment Carla who hears out Sharon's story as Sharon realizes the way the robbers got in was by her leaving the door unlocked on accident (ch 3 pg 26-I did this)

Carla then Reassures Sharon that they'll catch these robbers and reveals that she herself is a police woman, Carla calls for backup but the incoming storm leaves them with Static so Carla decides to speed to the police station and tells Sharon to stay where she is (ch 3 pg 29- Flore it)

A little while passes before Sharon decides she has to step in or it'll be too late (ch 3 pg 30- doubts)

### Chapter 4

The Robbers are still busy looking for "it" while Sharon is outside the house scheming, She sends Guinea through a hole in the wall to the basement as a distraction for the robbers while She gets into the house through an open window (ch 4 pg 34- in the walls)

Sharon reaches her family in the kitchen and as she tries to figure out a way to unlock Pada the twins question his motives with "it" Pada reveals it's not in the house and he can't tell any of them what "it" is because they'll know what it is, unluckily for them the robbers come up at that exact moment to realize that Sharon knows where "it" is (ch 4 pg 37- Is that so?)

The Robbers explain how they broke down a hollow wall where they found a chest where they assumed "it" was but they only found a death certificate which is how they realized Pada's story about the dead Mother and Daughter was fake which is when they rushed upstairs, Now that they know Sharon knows where it is they explain what it is to her and when they mention it's a watch Sharon knows exactly where it is- around her neck (ch 4 pg 43- and so do I)

She decides to try and strike a deal with the robbers in return for her family's safety much to the dismay of Pada but the attention is off the actual deal when they realize one of the mysterious robbers knew Pada (ch 4 pg 45- Remember me?)

Carlos Jumblefield is revealed to be the old janitor from Pada's work, he overheard pada mention the watch and when he was looking for money while on the run he decided to stop by to get this "priceless watch"

In one last attempt to save the world from the clutches of Carlos Jumblefield, Pada decides to reveal all he knows about it, which includes how it's deeply infused with Magic

### Chapter 5

After hearing this news Carlos is even more driven to get the watch but all Sharon's bargaining is just a distraction away from Guinea who's picked the lock and freed Pada (Ch 5 pg 50- Happy)

It's then a free-for-all as everyone rushes around for the watch, including the robbers who grab Sharon by the hair and Arms as Carlos threatens her with a Knife but before he can cut off her neck to grab the watch Sharon redirects the knife to the hand holding her hair to set herself free, cutting off her hair in the process (Ch 5 pg 52- slice)

Carlos is relentless now trying and trying to get the watch so much so that Sharon ends up unlocking a new power in the watch and she gets a power up (Ch 5 pg 54- ....her)

### Chapter 6

Sharon uses her newfound powers to encage the robbers with the bars being made of a substance that's boiling hot to the touch that gives both robbers burns, Sharon then regains consciousness from her powered up state and detransforms back into her civillian form leaving Carla-who had entered when Sharon made the cage- a little shell shocked (ch 6 pg 57- click)

Carla Handcuffs the robbers as more policemen come in and Sharon finally gets the O.K to keep guinea (ch 6 pg 58-free)

4 days later Sharon is washing the dishes again As Pada comes up to her to remind her to take out the garbage and to lock the door behind her with Sharon promising she'll never forget again (Ch 6 Pg 60- Close)
