one.seven

The next day came along, which turned into night time. 

Natalie and Hope were in the memorial library, drawing. 

"Did you write anything this year?" Hope asked. 

Natalie showed Hope her notebook, and sighed. 

It was a picture of the necromancer.

"No. You?" Natalie asked.

Hope did the same, and shook her head. 

It was the same thing Natalie drew.

"No." 

Rafael walked over to the two, and kissed Natalie's head. 

"You guys ready to go?" Rafael asked. 

Natalie and Hope nodded, and stood up.

Rafael, Natalie, and Hope were walking down the hallway, when they saw someone enter the school.

Rafael took his hand from Natalie's, and stepped in front of Natalie and Hope. 

"Cassie?" Rafael asked.

"Raf." Cassie responded. 

"Cassie? Isn't that your-." Hope trailed off. 

"My girlfriend." The wolf confirmed, as she ran over to her. 

The two hugged, as Natalie and Hope watched. 

Natalie was to shocked, and so was Hope.

Hope looked at Natalie, but turned to her. 

"Na-." Hope called, but Natalie walked away to quickly.

Natalie walked to the werewolf transition space, knowing Alaric was going to be there. 

When she got there, Alaric was trying to get answers from the necromancer. 

"Uncle Alaric." Natalie spoke, in serious matter. 

Alaric turned to Natalie, due to her calling him by his full first name instead of Ric.

"Oh, there you are, lovely girl. I was wondering if you'd come visit me again. Where's that sister of yours?" The necromancer asked. 

"She's right here." Hope answered, as she walked next to her sister.

"How's your friend, the one I saw you with earlier, trying to steal an illicit peek at me?" The monster questioned. 

"As we speak, he's having an emotional reunion with his dead girlfriend, while his alive girlfriend is standing right next to me." Hope replied. 

Natalie clasped her hands together, and cleared her throat.
