Nanette was surrounded by white tied to a chair. Nate was in front of her, just staring. From out of nowhere, the charmed necklace wrapped around her neck. A rope attached around Nate's waist and he started to panic. A bucket of water floated above Nanette and then tilted to release the water onto her. The tail formed again, but this time it was blood red and it didn't shimmer as the purple one did. Tears ran down Nate's face as he was dragged off by the rope around his waist. A towel sat in front of Nanette, just out of reach. It was mocking her. She wondered what would happen to Nate. Nanette bawled at the thought of her lost friend.
"Wake up."
"Who's there?!?"
"Wake up!"
"Show yourself!"
"Nanette...
Wake up!"
"Mom?" Nanette squeezed her mom tight, tears running down her face. "What's wrong honey?" Her mom said, running her fingers through Nanette's hair. "Oh, it was a nightmare, an awful awful nightmare!" Nanette bawled into her moms chest."Oh honey. It's alright. I'm here, mamas here." Her mom said, embracing Nanette in her arms. They hugged for a few minutes. "Mom?" Nanette's said breaking the silence, " can I go over to Nate's house?"
"Of course darling. Call him up and see if it's okay with his mom... er.... I mean dad." Her mom said nervously. "Okay thanks mom!" Nanette said cheerfully, ignoring her moms apparent pause.
Nate: what's up Nanette?
Nanette: Oh just wondering if I could come hang out that's all.
Nate: sure let me ask my dad.
~30 seconds later ~
Nate: he said he was ok with it.
Nanette: Thanks Nate I'll be over in about 5 minutes.
Nate: Ok bye.
Nanette:Bye
"Mom! We gotta go I said I'd be there in 5 minutes!" Nanette shouted to her mom downstairs. "Ok come on!" Her mom replied. They headed to Nate's house and Nanette was dropped off.
"Welcome to casa de Nate is cool!" Nate said to Nanette holding a pair of maracas. "Where did you get those?" Nanette giggled as she pointed to the maracas. "From a man in an ally." Nate said jokingly. The two had a good laugh and headed inside. " What was with the whole hugging me and crying thing yesterday at the beach?" Nanette asked as soon as they sat down in Nate's room. "Oh yeah I guess I owe you an explanation don't I?" Said Nate in a nervous tone. "It's a long story." Nate explained. " I have time." Nanette said. "Ok I'll tell you. Here we go..."Sorry for the short chapter guys but I do plan on making a chapter after this one that is all about Nate's past. Hope you like it!
