The Last Moreau

Chapter 12: Date Night

I woke up the next day at 11:00 am because it was a Sunday and who would'nt ?

I was too lazy to even fix breakfast and was moping about in my pyjamas.I had downloaded TATBILB and started to watch it munching on a leftover pizza. Jo had gone on a date with Jake to the Lakers game and I was alone.

I closed my eyes reminiscing my almost romantic moment with Nathan before Jo cut us off.

Damn it Jo.Just then the doorbell rang.Jo should'nt be back this soon  I thought.

Then I suddenly remembered how much more weird my world had become since last night.I immediately searched for any potential weapons within my eyerange. There were none.

Should I pretend I was not home ? What if it really was Jo ? I peered through the peephole and saw someone dressed in casual jeans and grey hoodie.It looked like a guy.But he was wearing black overglasses that covered his half of his face and he was peering down.

Okay I'm getting creeped out.Who is this freak ? Is he another one of those things ?

My imagination started to kick into overdrive.I grabbed the frying pan from the kitchen and stood beside the door.I opened it and allowed the stranger to enter and was about to bring it down on his head before he quickly turned around and caught it.

"Did you get mauled by a bear ?" Nathan joked taking the sunglasses and his hoodie off.

Oh shit I screamed internally. "Give me sometime"  I said.

I ran upstairs and took a shower as quickly as possible.I slipped into a floral cold shoulder top and ankle length jeggings. I peered down from the stairway to admire my view.

He was leaning against the kitchen counter drumming his fingers on the counter top .His hair had been swept to one side.He wore a black full sleeve Imagine Dragons tee and blue jeans.

His muscular arms stood out despite the tee.He never looked more easy on the eyes.

He turned to look at me when I came down."Look it's a Sunday.You should atleast let me know before you show up from now on." I said trying to air dry my still damp hair.

He had not dropped his gaze and I suddenly felt a bit flustered.

He came closer and touched my forehead. "Does it hurt when I do this?" he asked.

I looked into his eyes.He was too close.I noticed his eyes had gold flecks in them.

"No" I whispered.He tugged at my hand."Now?" he asked.

"No" I said my eyes still locked on to his.

He suddenly twisted my arm to my back."Now?" he asked.

"Ow!" I yelled."What the hell Nathan?"  I said pushing him away.

The skin on my right leg began to burn like it was on fire.

Just then my eyes lost focus and everything in the room began to shake with great force.

"Jen" he yelled and released a blue flame from both his hands that managed to control the objects from flying towards him.

"Huh" I said as I got my focus back a few seconds later.I looked down and the entire living room and kitchen was disheveled."Oh no,what the hell.Jo is going to kill me" I screeched holding my hands to my head.

"No problem " Nathan said and he began to mutter some incoherent words and stretched his hands out in both directions. Light began to swirl around him as he pulled me close.The objects began to fly backwards back to their places.They missed us as they were unable to get past the golden swirl of light protecting us.Within a few minutes the living room and the kitchen was back to the way it had been.

"Cool" I said looking mighty impressed."It's a spell I learnt to keep things back in order.It's mighty helpful when you want to clean up a mess and no I'm not going to teach you" Nathan said when I looked at him hopefully.

"What , I just need to know so that I don't have to clean my room" I pouted.

"Anyway" Nathan said ignoring me. "What happened is ,your powers are protecting you from me.Meaning if I or anyone tries to hurt you,your powers will protect you.It's kind of like a basic protection spell but much more powerful." he said.

"Oh that's good right" I said happily.I'm kickass.

"But" he started. "Your body reacted only when I hurt you by surprise.Because you trust me it didn't show up  initially.For any stranger attacking you this is a good defense mechanism but it's not enough for anything  more powerful and trust me there is plenty more powerful out there waiting to take you out of the picture " he said.

"Let's go training"  he said motioning me to the door. "Nope,it's a Sunday.I want off.I'm exhausted" I said."I have to work on the weekdays plus put up with this hunter shit.The least you can do is give me a day off" I said not budging from where I stood.

He looked at me for a bit opening and closing his mouth trying to get some words out but then closed it off deciding it was not worth it. That's right.No one can argue with me I thought.

"Fine" he said finally before turning to leave."Wait.Can we go out for a movie?" I tried controlling myself before the words sputtered out.

He stopped dead in his tracks and turned around.His gaze pierced me and I started to become flustered again.Why was my face so hot ? "Sure" he said before opening the door.

"Great" I grinned before getting my purse. We entered INOX around 3 pm."So what movie do you want to watch?" I asked not able to decide the genre.I started giggling looking at the horror section .That's one genre I know Nathan would definitely enjoy.

We decided to go with Birdbox since I was a Sandra Bullock fan and since Nathan would enjoy it's genre. After an engrossing 2 hours we came out still engulfed with the story in our heads.

"You know those entities sound a tad familiar to the digords.Those things are invisible and just as malicious.Only difference is if it knows you are not afraid.It has no power over you.If you are afraid then it will alleviate your fears until it becomes too unmanageable." "What happens after that?" I asked feeling unnerved. " Nothing.It's actually a slow process.It may even take years.But if you are a normal you would never know its presence.You would only feel a negative energy vibration.They'll delve into your soul until they can dig up all your fears from the very basic up to the worst one.They'll keep alleviating those until you  start to freak out and drown in that fear.

"But you can dispel them by reinforcing your belief in something positive.You really have to believe in that one positive thing.When you do those things will have no power over your mind.

You will still feel the uneasiness but you will have a control over your mind." he finished.

"Thanks for the Hunter 101 .Let's go eat" I said dragging him into Wendy's.
