Twins of Unova

*Chapter 15: Driftveil🎶

"I don't like my mind right now... stacking up problems that are so unnecessary" I sang with my Kalimba in my hotel room "Wish I could slow things down. I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic. And I drive myself crazy thinking everything's about me... I drive myself crazy cause I can't escape the gravity..." I wiped my tears away and sighed

Nate has been trying to get me out my room for the pass few hours in the morning, but to no avail. I wanted to stay in my room without being bothered, wanting to collect my thoughts and just avoid Looker lecturing me about what I did.

"Cam, you haven't ate. Open the door" Nate told me. I ignored him and kept playing my instrument "don't you want to go investigate?"

"I'll trust you to do that for today. Find a guard to stay at my door if you think I won't stay in here" I said "Leave me alone"

"Why are you being like this?" Why? I don't know why. Just the thought of him looking at me like I'm Rosa bothers me. I don't want to think too much about it... I rather be alone "Fine, if that's what you want to do, I'll do just that. Call me if you need me" I heard his footsteps fade away. I laid down on my pillow and hugged my instrument, sighing at what I put myself into.

"Ori?" Oricorio flew to my bed side and fanned my face with her fan shaped wings.

"I just have a lot of things in my mind... things I didn't think I have to think about" I buried myself into my pillow "Could it be possible..? I have... feelings for Nate?" I frowned "What an unrealistic thought. Why on earth would he waste his time with me? He and Rosa would be great together" I looked out the window "yet, why does it bother me so much?" I played with the crystal in my necklace and overheard a ringing coming from my Xtransceiver. I ignored it until Oricorio picked it up and showed me that my mother was calling me.

"Mother..." I covered myself in my blanket and answered to see her happy face, covering the bottom part of my face "Good afternoon, mom" I smiled, feeling weird to say mom on my tongue.

"Hey darling! How's it going? You're still in bed?! Are you still in Nimbasa? You didn't call this morning" I've called my mother regularly every morning since I started my adventure, but I wasn't in the best mood to call this morning.

"Sorry, I slept in" which wasn't exactly a lie, but wasn't the truth either "I don't feel very good, so my partner is covering for me while I stay in bed"

"Are you alright?" She frowned.

"We stayed a bit too long in the rain"

"Awe! How cute! Sounds romantic" in a sense, but it wasn't romantic. I felt a bit warm and my arm was arcing, so I kept it in place and used a stick to keep it stable while wrapped with my scarf for now "Where are you now?" She asked.

"I'm in Driftveil city, in a hotel called Hodomoe, or something like that?"

"Oh! Be careful. I heard that place is haunted" I stood up from bed and walked to the counter to grab my bag so I could shower, but found my bag gone. Huh? "That's what rumors said, anyway" I looked around and found the bag in the bathroom. How did it end up here? "You okay?"

"Yeah, sorry. I'm about to take a shower" I admit, looking through my bag and took out my clothes for the day "Haunted, you say?"

"Yeah! I read on a magazine saying that someone went missing in that hotel and were never to be seen again! Some say they were transported into the spirit world. Wild, isn't it?" I looked up and saw my toothbrush floating mid air "There's a bunch of theories, but that's the only one I thought of"

"I think I'll be alright" I reached for my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it "Nothing strange happened yet" I lied, pretending like my toothbrush floating was normal "I'm going to get ready for the day"
