After Natsu gets over his fit (takes about three hours), he knocks on my bedroom door.
"What is it, Natsu?" I ask, greeting him. I had gone up to do my homework two hours ago.
He stares me straight in the eye. "Are you and Ultear related?" he asks.
"Why are you asking?" I reply, confused.
"Well, you now know that Harper and I aren't really related, so I was wondering if you and Ultear are related."
"Well," I reply. "We aren't really related because only Ultear's mom and my dad are married. That's really it." I sit on the floor.
Natsu's eyebrows raise a fraction. "Hmm...Hey, do you have a lighter?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I want to show you something," Natsu replies. He starts to rummage around in my desk drawers. Finally, he comes up with a spare lighter I have, in case I want to burn something (that happens very rarely though).
Natsu flicks on the lighter and presses the lit part to his finger.
"Watch out, you'll get-" I say, and then Natsu holds up his finger. No injury or burn of any kind. "Natsu, how-"
He shrugs. "Well, oddly I can't get burned in any way, shape, or form. I find it weird." Natsu puts the lighter back where it was.
After a long silence, Natsu says, "Do you think that ability is weird?"
I shake my head. "Of course not, Natsu. It's amazing!"
Natsu pulls me into a hug as a way of saying thank you. I hug him back.
"Oooooh so kawaii!" I hear a voice say. I release Natsu to see Ultear standing in the doorway.
"Ultear, GET. OUT. OF. MY. ROOM." I say fiercely, and she runs off giggling. Actually, she runs off giggling down to the top of the stairs, and runs back down.
"Natsu," Ul says. "Harper is feeling kinda down, so you might wanna go cheer her up."
Natsu hops up from the floor and goes downstairs. I follow.
Downstairs, in the dining room, Ul peeks under a table. "Harper, you can come out now. Natsu's here."
Natsu bends down to look under the table. "Happy, I'm here."
"Ah, that's good." comes the reply.
Natsu opens his mouth to say something, but is interrupted by a loud knocking on the door. "I'll get it!" my mom yells, and opens the door.
A few policemen stand at the door. "Ma'am, we need to search your house again for the kids." one says. He looks behind my mom a bit and sees Natsu and Harper. Natsu, on seeing the policemen, has tried to hide behind me in his terror, but he's pretty bad at hiding. Harper, well, blue hair is a hard thing to miss.
"Do not leave this house," the policeman says, shoving past my mom. He marches over to the table Harper's hiding under. The other policemen are gone, probably surrounding the house. With a quick hand motion, he extracts Harper from out of under the table, twisting her arm behind her back in a rather painful-looking way.
I hear a loud thump close to my ear and turn to see another policeman chasing Natsu around the kitchen. Despite the policeman's speed and anger, Natsu is faster and more calm, darting around the kitchen like a pink-haired ninja. Eventually the policeman gets frustrated and pulls out a small handgun, aiming it at the still-running Natsu.
"Watch it!" I shout, running over and grabbing the arm holding the gun. "That's my friend!"
The policeman is temporarily surprised, but gets over it quickly. I feel something metal jab into my side with , then, bolts of electricity flicker around me, causing intense pain. All I hear is a loud bang, a thud, and then a voice saying with pleasure, "We've caught the serial killer," before everything goes midnight-black.
GITL: Uh-Oh, something bad is gonna happen. Sorry for the cliffhanger.
Anyway, in the next chapter, not-so-good things are gonna happened, so be warned!
