Chapter 7: Nate

It was pitch black now it had to past 9pm. Nate sat against a cold rock in the dark, he didn’t feel scared he felt betrayed how could they just walk off? Hillary and Nethal had grabbed all the things from the camp and run off into the darkness somewhere surely such a mothering person couldn’t leave a child alone in the dark cold woods without anything to keep them warm why couldn’t she just show him the way out, he felt tears welling up in his eyes, he wasn’t normally an emotional person but right now he just wanted someone to help him, that’s when he felt ice cold arms wrap around him, obviously the arms of the supernatural, but he didn’t care, he looked up and all his hatred for the supernatural vanished “its ok” she shushed “its all over now, your safe” he burst into tears and wrapped his arms and legs around Kalea he couldn’t be sure it was her, it was too dark to see anything but who else would be there helping him?
Nate woke up in a homey looking living room he hadn’t meant to fall asleep. He looked around him Kalea was sat on the sofa next to him talking quietly with a guy he hadn’t seen before this guy had black hair which obviously didn’t get brushed often so stuck out in all directions he had dark circles under his eyes and wore pink clothes like a giant care-bear or something Kalea looked over at Nate and smiled “good morning” she said grinning “I need to ask you two questions, don’t worry its nothing abut Mink or anything” she smiled kindly “ok number one: how old are you?” Nate looked at her “I'm 7” he said quietly she smiled
“7’s a magical number” she said laughing “anyway number two: what happened to your parents?” she paused “wait no, its obvious what happened to them, do you have any close family to live with? An aunt or uncle? I'm sure a children’s home is a last resort but if you haven’t got any close family then…” she looked slightly shy “you could live with us” she looked over at Satu he nodded “its fine by me” she smiled the sort of smile that made you want to say anything you can to make her smile like that forever “I don’t have any other family only my uncle but he doesn’t like me very much” Kalea just smiled “don’t worry if you agree you can live with us its fine with both Satu and me” it was all agreed, Nate would live with Kalea and Satu who would be his illegal guardians because they hadn’t filled out any forms but Kalea was good at bending the laws it turned out she knew a lot of people, it seemed like life couldn’t get better Satu had solved a case and now had a beautiful girl living with him along with a child lots of people could only dream of, Kalea now had the dream family and wasn’t being attacked by obsessed vampires and Nate had somewhere to call home and one caring parent and a very spaced out parent he was now a very happy child he didn’t even have to go to school Satu had told Kalea that school would be good she agreed but said she couldn’t be bothered to fill out the papers she was having a lazy day Satu pointed out the fact that you don’t have to fill out papers to join a school and she just looked at him.
