Two Worlds Become One

Chapter 9: On A Date With Freddy

Natalie and Freddy enjoy their peaceful walk for ten minutes before a beautiful black horse stops in front of them from the east of the forest.

"Care to have a horse ride with me?" Freddy requests. He pets the horse.

"I never ride a horse before," Natalie admits.

Without warning, Freddy picks her up and puts her on the black horse. Natalie is now sitting on the horse's back. She watches the male demon gets in front of her.

"Then I'll make this horse ride, the best one that you ever had!" Freddy declares.

Grabbing a chunk of the horsehair, he lets the creature to start horse to running. Immediately, Natalie wraps her arms around Freddy's waist when the horse picks up its speed. Natalie feels the wind going through her hair as Freddy rides the horse. She rests her right cheek against his back without knowing Freddy is smiling at her.

"I guess she is into nature like I am," Freddy thinks.

Freddy and Natalie enjoy the silent horse ride for twenty minutes of silence before they arrive to the other side of the forest. Natalie removes her arms around his waist, so he gets down from the horse. After Freddy landing on the ground, the female demon jumps off the horse's back.

"How was your first horse ride?" Freddy quizzes.

"It was fun. I get to enjoy the nature," Natalie shrugs. She gives him a smack on the back of his head.

"Shall we explore the town?" Freddy suggests. He rubs the back of his head.

"Yes, and you can tell me about our kind," Natalie responds.

"What do you want to know about our kind?" Freddy puzzles. Glancing around, he sees how peaceful the town is. He and Natalie avoid getting bump into the humans.

"What kinds of demons are there?" Natalie questions.

"There are different kinds of demon than us," Freddy answers. He sees the kids are running around for fun.

"What about our abilities? Do we all have the same abilities or is it different?" Natalie presses. They enter a small café restaurant. Walking to the window, they sit down at table across each other.

"We all have the same abilities, but not the same power that we were born with," Freddy tells her without looking at the menu.

"Are we mortals like the humans or are we immortals like the vampires?" Natalie inquires with a distant look in her eyes.

"Unfortunately, we are immortals. We stop ageing when we turn nineteen," Freddy deadpans. He notices the server is coming towards them.

"That means I will stay young forever as I watch Ross grow old," Natalie sighs in distress. The server arrives to their table with a notebook in her hands.

"Excuse me, guys?" the server interrupts their conversation.

"Yes? What is it?" Freddy answers with a monotone expression.

"Are you guys ready to order?" the server continues with a smile.

"We would like to have tea," Natalie listless.

"Is that all?" the server inquires. She writes their small order in her notebook.

"Yes, that would be all," Freddy speaks with an emotionless look. The server nods before she walks away.

"You will have to watch him get old age if you stay with him," Freddy avers. Gazing over, Natalie looks through the window.

"I'm already losing hope to ever get back to my own world and be with him," Natalie confesses. She doesn't feel any pain of not seeing Ross and being with him ever again. Freddy moves his left hand across the table and places it on top of hers. Turning her heads, she stares back at a serious look.
