Saving Natalie

Chapter Five

"shiiiii- hold that thought."

"Hello?" It cam out a little ruder than I had intended.

"Thank the gods you are alright!" Amber, my best friend said. "What the hell happened to you? You didnt come home from work last night and I thought someone might have kidnapped you. So, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" She all but screamed in my ear.

"Hey Amber, can i-"

"No you cant call me back! i dont care if you are in the middle of having hot passionate sex with a guy. You are giving me an explanation or so help me I will kill you. And I mean this in the nicest way possible."

Sometimes trying to talk to Amber is like talking to a brick wall. If you have ever tried that you know it doesnt go so well.

"Amber I promise you i will give you an explanation but right now i really need to finish what i was doing." I sighed.

"OH MY GOD! You are having sex! You go girl! Sorry about yelling at you. I should really let you get back to having fun." You could hear the excitement in her voice.

"No, Amber. Thats-" But the phone went dead.

"Arg!" I threw my phone at the bed and started mumbling curse words.

"Natalie?" The God asked.

I had totally forgotten he was there. 

"Huh? Oh sorry. Where were we?"

"Are you alright? Who was that obnoxious human girl on the phone?" 

I snorted. 

"Thats my best friend Amber." I laughed.

"Well, what did she want?" He looked interested.

At that moment my brain decided to work and warn me about strangers and giving out information. He already knows too much about me so im not going to give him information about my friend. And i dont even know his name.

"I uhh- I have to go." I jumped off the bed and made a bee line for the door. 

"Natalie!" The God shouted but i ran.

I had no idea where i was going but I just wanted to leave. 

i found a door, that looked like a front door, and opened it.

"Thank you lord!" I ran to my car and saw my keys in the seat. i yanked open my door and got in and locked it. 

"NATALIE!" He roared. He was up to my car in an instant. 

"Open this door this minute. I need to talk to you." He was pissed. 

"I need to leave." i pleaded.,

"Natalie. Please. Dont leave." 

"I promise i will keep your secret." 

i turned on the engine and thats when my heart broke. I dont know why but the thought of leaving this stranger hurt more than anything. I felt a sharp pain in my heart that had me gasping. It felt like someone took a knife and ran a line through my heart.

I couldnt breathe.

"He-help." i panted and felt for the unlock button. "It hurts." i whispered and looked at him through the window with pained filled eyes. His mirrored mine.

"Please, unlock the door." He reached for it but i couldnt find the button.

"I cant!" i cried as another wave of pain hit me. I doubled over and held my heart. 

The door on my car was ripped away as He lifted me up in his strong arms.

"W-wh-whats wrong with m-me?" I whispered. 

"Stay awake." He pleaded and looked at me in the eyes. You could see He truley cared for me. Me, of all people, a stranger. A nobody.

"Im going to take the pain away but I need you to stay awake." You could defenately hear his accent now. It was thick and hard to understand.

I could only shake my head. In an instant the pain was gone. 

"What did you do?" I asked but when i looked up pain laced his face. "Oh my god!" 

I couldnt stop looking into his eyes. Somehow he took the pain away from me and transfered it into himself. He took my pain. 

"Im sorry." He whispered and held onto me even tighter.
