The Key Unlocks Everything - Chapter 6

What Natsume kinda looked like ----->
************************************************

I was back into the room and this time I was back in that stupid Loli dress but this time it was baby pink. I sighed and tried to focus on finding Romeo and asking why he showed up.

"Romeo." I called and there was no answer. I walked forward and looked out the window. It was the same as ever, just white and boring.
"Romeo." I called and again there was no answer. The room was empty and quiet, like there was no life at all. I crossed my arms over my chest and blew a piece of hair out of my face.

"This isn't funny." I said and I saw a pair of green eyes appear and Romeo walked forward.
"Where have you been?" I asked him and he gave me an apologetic smile.
"I had some things to take care of." He told me and I raised an eyebrow at looked at him suspiciously.

"You weren't at and Ice Rink were you?" I asked curiously and he frowned.
"What's an Ice Rink?" He asked and I sighed.
"Sorry I thought I saw you watching me while I was skating." I informed him and he nodded.
"Must've been your imagination." He said and I had to agree.
"I hope a lot of things are just my imagination." I muttered as an image of Natsu went through my mind.

"Are you thinking about him?" Romeo suddenly asked and my eyes widened.
"W-What are you talking about?" I asked looking away while Romeo chuckled.
"You can't hide anything from me." He said amused and I rolled my eyes.
"There is just a certain jerk who I will not name, that is pissing me off." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well would you like to tell me? My ears are your diary." He offered and I did. I told him all about Natsu and he listened. I felt better when I finished and I knew I was waking up.
"Bye." I said before I opened my eyes.

I looked over at my clock and saw it was eight in the morning. I groaned and buried my face in my pillow. I took a peek at my draw and I reached over and opened it. Natsume's note laid there and I grabbed it and read it again.

"Where are you?" I whispered to the note. I heard a door close and seconds later a car pulling out of the driveway.
"Well mom's gone." I said and went downstairs and ate cereal. I lazed around of the couch and watched some TV. My phone started ringing and I grabbed it and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked in a bored tone.

"Meet me at the park in five minutes." A voice said and then hung up. I stared at the phone in confusion and then went upstairs. I grabbed a white singlet and some light blue denim shorts and put a light purple hoodie on. I ran downstairs and grabbed my black sneakers and did my hair in a ponytail. I left the house and dialed Alice's number.

"Ok why am I meeting you at the park?" I asked her as soon as she picked up.
"What are you talking about?" She asked and I frowned.
"You just called me and told me to meet you at the park." I told her.
"I never called you, I was just talking to Tamara before you rang." She informed me and my blood went cold. Alice picked up on my silence and became worried.
"Sora don't go, it might be some stalker." She said and I nodded.

"Ok I'll head home." I told her and hung up. I turned to leave but for some reason I was turning back around and walking to the park. It's like an invisible rope was tied around me and was dragging me to it. My feet were moving on their own and soon I arrived at the park. I stood there waiting for someone but no one was here. I watched the water from the fountain pour out and I was able to move on my own. I started to walk backwards but ran into something.

"Watch where you're going?" A familiar voice said and I turned around and saw Natsu standing there looking a little grumpy.
"Of course I'd be you." I groaned stepping away and placing my head in my hand.
"What are you talking about?" He asked in a bored tone and I glared at him.
"You called me and told me to meet you here." I told him and he frowned.
"Um no I didn't, I don't even have a phone." He informed me.
"Then who the hell did?" I muttered and looked away. Natsu stood beside me and flipped a coin.

"I remember doing this when I was younger." He said throwing the coin into the fountain.
"What'd you wish for?" I asked curiously.
"Can't say or else it won't come true." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"I should've known you'd never tell." I said and he chuckled.
"Well then since you didn't call me I'm going back home." I said walking away. Natsu grabbed my hand and I looked at him.
"How about instead we hang out?" He suggested and I looked at him as if he were crazy.
"I need to do my Human Studies project." He added and I sighed and nodded. We ended up sitting under a tree and talked for a bit. I told him my likes and dislikes and he told me his.

"You hate cold blood?" I laughed and he shrugged his shoulders.
"It tastes gross when it's cold." He told and I shook my head and smiled.
"Hey, I've been wondering." I said suddenly and he looked at me.
"Is Mr. Henderson a vampire too? Since he's your uncle and all." I asked and he looked away.

"He's not my uncle." He said quietly and my eyes widened.
Now that I think about it, they're nothing alike I thought.
"He is one as well but a bitten one." He answered and I nodded. It became silent between us as I gathered up the courage to ask my next question.

"So how did you two meet?" I asked sneaking a peek at him from the corner of my eye. The sadness that was once in his eyes lit up a bit and he smiled warmly.
"I never knew my parents so I ended up living with this couple who raised me. One day he came and told them who I was and what I would become. I decided to go with him and learn to control my new self. When I was fourteen I tried to visit them again but -" He suddenly broke off.

"But?" I asked wanting him to continue. He looked down and the sadness crept back in.
"I-I couldn't control my powers and ended up hurting them." He said quietly and I felt bad for him. I hugged him tightly while he froze to the spot.
"I'm sorry for asking." I whispered and he recovered and hugged me back. We stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's warmth and comfort. I pulled back and saw Natsu was crying, like the first time I saw him.

"Don't cry." I said wiping away his tears. Natsu smiled and I smiled back and got up.
"I'm heading home." I told him and he nodded.
"Be safe." He said and I walked home. While I was walking home I kept getting that feeling like someone was watching me. It didn't stop until I went inside and I locked all the doors just in case. I ended up watching TV and halfway through a movie I fell asleep.
