Chapter 9
Nathaniel’s pov
I could tell Natalia was keeping something from me.
It made me question her motives.
Why did she come back?
I’m willing to give up my immortality for her.
I need to know what she is keeping from me.
She has been keeping away from me lately.
It’s as if she’s avoiding me after telling me she loves me.
Have I no showed her I love her?
Have I not taken her, and her mutt in?
She rather be with that demon than me.
I should have killed him when I had the chance.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and didn’t recognize the person looking back at me.
I no longer had my wings.
At first I looked human now I can’t describe how I look.
It’s almost inhumane as if I am the monster.
All this evil is turning me.
Maybe Damian has already won.
If I am evil this world has no chance.
What is wrong with me?
Am I jealous of the time she spends with that wolf?
No that isn’t possible.
I am not allowed to feel such things.
These feelings are not allowed.
No wonder I don’t recognize myself anymore.
I have changed so much.
I heard someone come in so I looked up.
Natalia was walking towards me.
I hurried to put my shirt on, but she stopped me.
She ran her hands down my chest.
I probably shouldn’t admit it, but it felt amazing.
My whole body felt on fire.
“Natalia we shouldn’t be doing this.”
“I know I just needed to feel you.”
“Why have you been avoiding me?”
“There is something I need to tell you.”
Here it was.
She was going to tell me she’s leaving me again.
“What is it?”
“Please allow me to finish before you say anything.”
“I will.”
“You see you think that the changed ones are all evil. Well they are not. They still can fight against the hold Damian has on them. Elias did that, and he helped me escape. We could have died, but thankfully we didn’t. I was well bitten before I escaped. I am now one of the damned ones that you hate so much. This is why I have avoided you. How can you love someone when they now become the very thing you hate?”
I sit down on my bed.
I didn’t know what to say.
She still looked like herself.
She still was beautiful.
Did I have this all wrong?
Could the turned ones be saved?
With Natalia by my side we could save them.
I walked up to her, and kissed her.
She was my saving grace.
With her we would save humanity.
I loved her no matter what she was, or who she has become.
