Hope dies last

Chapter 7

N: G.. Gabriel.

Gabriel stood up abruptly and quickly ran to Nathalie.

G: I'm here.

...............................................................

Nathalie slowly gets up. Gabriel puts pillows under her back so she can lean back comfortably. Nathalie holds her head with one hand and closes her eyes. Gabriel sees this, gets up to get some medicine from the kitchen, but he feels someone grab his hand.

N: No need, it's temporary.

G: Are you sure? I see you are suffering.

N: Yes, don't worry. Although I didn't think it would be such a pain.

G: What do you mean?

...............................................................

Nathalie just stared at Gabriel, trying to find the right words. However, Gabriel, thinking that she still didn't trust him, he wanted to get up and leave her, giving her space. However, when he stood up, Nathalie grabbed his hand again.

N: You're terribly impatient. A small smile appeared on Nathalie's face. Please sit down. I'll tell you everything but I have to choose the right words.

Gabriel sat on the bed and stared at Nathalie. There was slight confusion on his face. He didn't understand why Nathalie was suddenly so nice to him.

N: This performance of mine that you saw was planned for a long time. I just needed the perfect opportunity.

Gabriel didn't answer, he just continued to stare intently at Nathalie.

N: Maybe you can call your team. You all deserve an explanation.

Then Gabriel came to his senses and began asking many questions in one breath.

G: What do you mean?, you wanted to betray Supreme?, but why now?, why were you so unpleasant to us if you are now...

Nathalie covered Gabriel's mouth with her hand, preventing him from asking any further questions.

N: I promise I will answer all questions, but I would rather not repeat myself twice.

Nathalie removed her hand from Gabriel's mouth. Gabriel was still in shock at Nathalie's sudden transformation that he only managed to nod.

G: All right

...............................................................

Gabriel left the room and returned a moment later with the entire group. Everyone approached to Nathalie's bed with a bit of uncertainty. On the way to the room, Gabriel briefly told them about Nathalie's sudden change. Once everyone was seated, Nathalie spoke.

N: Since we're all together, you probably want to know why I suddenly changed sides. The truth is, I have never been on Supreme's side.

Everyone: WHAT!

G: How is that possible, you were his right hand woman. You were a ruthless soldier. You wanted to kill me and took my Miraculous!

Nathalie raised her eyebrows at Gabriel's emotional statement.

N: First of all, I never wanted to kill you, if I did, you would have been dead a long time ago, and you're still alive thanks to me.

G: You were shooting at me with a crossbow.

Nathalie laughed slightly, which surprised the audience.

N:Gabriel, don't you wonder why all the arrows always miss?
