Chapter 5
For Nate, the next few weeks were in bliss. Chardonnay continued making "appointments" with him. The young couple had confided in one another almost every secret they had. Nate had the ability to sense dead things within a mile radius, and sometimes more. Char could read people's minds, and recover hidden, or forgotten memories. Nate's ability had been secret for his entire life, he hadn't even told his parents. And Char hadn't even known she had the ability till she became an exorcist. Nate and Char were alike in so many ways, but they were also individuals. They both had hard pale-ish skin, black eyes, and round noses. But in contrast Nate's hair was red, like Lavi's and Chardonnay's was a white-blonde. Both were the same height.
"Hey Nate," Lavi said as he walked up to Nate and Char eating breakfast. "Guess what Komui just told me, you guys are brother and sister!" Lavi sauntered off clearly looking happy that Nate had thrown up on his eggs. Char had run to the bathroom, barely making it before she too, threw up.
"So this complicates things a bit," Char said when they met later under the only tree in the Exorcist HQ. "Well, it could have been worse, we could have been settled down with children you know, and then found out."
"COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE?" Nate yelled, all of his anger from over the years coming out, "COULD HAV BEEN WORSE YOU SAY? WELL YES, BUT THIS STILL SUCKS A BIG ONE. I MEAN YOU'RE MY SISTER, AND I HAVE BEEN SNOGGING YOU FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, I AM IN SHOCK, YOU MUST BE TOO, BUT ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE'." Nate had let all of his anger, sorrow, and pain come out in that short rant, and Char saw into his mind. In that short moment, she saw what had happened to his parents, their parents. She also saw every hardship he had had in the past six years, every hard time he had gone through, and she felt his pain, his anger, his sorrow. But since she had gone through almost the same thing in the past 6 years, she felt everything in the aspect of two people, and the pain physically hurt her. She cried out, and Nate, being the gent he was, went to her side to help her.
"Nate, the death of our people wasn't your fault, it wasn't anybody's fault." "God gave us our weapons to fight the same things that destroyed our village, and we will use them, but to finish preparing, you have to realize it wasn't your fault, no one is to blame." "Let it go."
The next day, Nate finished his training, because with letting go of the sorrow, and blame, he allowed his innocence to fully bloom, and overcome previous blockades.
"Good Job Nate," Lavi said patting Nate on the back, "You'll be an expert in no time." "Now come on Komui wants to see us."
