He said , "She killed your mother."

My heart drops to the bottom of who knows where , I would beat him to death if he was trying to prank me in a time like this. But the point is , it seems like he wasn't trying to prank me. His dark eyes telling me that he wasn't lying , his grip on the blade had loosen up. He walks to me , his hand prepared out , he brought me into his right side , with his arm on my shoulder , he hugged me tight , directly , stunningly.

"Nate...You're lying." I smiled uncontrollably , trying to tell my self , the truth isn't always what you hear. I hear his heart beat racing , I hear mine too , I bet he heard mine as well.  I don't mind , him hugging me like this. I needed a hug , I wasn't sure if I could believe what he told me.

Why would Katelyn even want to kill my mother ? Wasn't the murderer Duncan ? What is going on... I am so confused , mother , please help me...

I swallowed real hard , I grab hold to his shirt , my soundless tears dripping on his shirt , I can feel the texture of his muscles from the gentle touch of my hands , but some how I'm not supposed to be thinking about any of this by now.

Katelyn is running away , the true murderer is running away...

"I'm going to get to her." Nate stepped back , creating a huge gap between the both of us , he touched my cheeks , his hands tracing my hair that fell alongside from my shoulder to my back.

"Why ?" I asked , with dried tears soaring in my blurry eyes , I couldn't see a thing in particular.

"I'm sorry , I knew she was an obscurius , I just couldn't bring myself to think that she was pure evil... Until this morning , I found out that , she planned this all along." Nate kept his blade back to his leather belt , the golden flow had faded. I kept quiet , listening , as I take in more unacceptable information , the more I feel sad that Katelyn actually wasn't the person I thought she was. "She used Duncan Chancellor to kill your mother , I don't know why she wanted to kill your mother or what grudge she has for her , but I can tell you , my sister is a monster that ruined your life , and for that I'm really sorry."

I hear the sincerity from Nate , I know how much he loves and cares for her , he'd even apologize for her , even after all he knew of what she had done.

"You can explain more when we go back to the house , you can show you her diaries and her daily plans. Maybe we can find out why this all happened , you don't have to tell me now , you can take it slow , it's not your fault...And perhaps we can have a little tea time ?" I asked , the hot tears rolling down my cheeks , it wasn't a significant time to talk about tea and cakes , but it does make me feel better , and to switch the topic as well.

"I'm really sorry for your loss , and I feel like I'm responsible for all of this." Nate started to mutter a lot , the volumme of his voice was reducing by time.

As soon as I come to realise , he was whispering by my ear. I blushed , crying sympathic tears for him , great I was crying for me and mom , but now , I felt like crying for him instead.

He's suffered a lot. I was told by his expression and his story to share , I gave up , giving up to chase Katelyn means giving up to avenge mother. I will not give up , not forever , but I swear I will only take a small amount of rest by time. And when the correct chance comes in a million bits of star falls , I shall gaze upon the stars and choose the faith I am about to follow.

I cannot describe his story in words , what I fear is what I am about to discover in the future , I will not leave Boscaria , I will not return to Lakewood , I will accompany by his side , fix his burnt scars carved by his journeys and his loved ones , I will stay right here , right now.

Katelyn , if you are out there some where , I want you to know , Nate is in good hands , thank you for the shelter you provide me when I am in need , thank you for taking me in at that lonely night , but I simply cannot ignore the fact that you are involved between the death of my mother , not just involved , but the main course. If you are still the Katelyn I use to believe exists , then please , come back.
