Patch's POV:
Chapter 4:
She was here. She was standing right next to me. My Nora. Nora. Nora, Nora, nora nora. I stared at her and just stared. I had to take all of her in. Something was wrong with her. Something was wrong. Her face was too structured. She was different. She was wearing black boots up to her thighs and and black short shorts. Her top was only a vest with her belly showing. Her brown hair spilled over her shoulders in perfect small ringlets. She was different. She looked hard core and wrong. She was wrong. Her smirk and stance made me worried. She was different. She wasn't MY Nora. She was wrong.
"Awwww. Don't look so pathetic," she smirked. She walked around me while moving her finger along my chest.
"I -," I was cut off by her finger on my lips. She stopped in front of me and sat on my thighs. She twirled one piece of hair and crossed her legs.
"You're so different. What went wrong? Did you miss poor pathetic Nora? Was it the baby? Did she change your BA attitude? Personally, I liked you before. Now, you're boring."
"Nora? What happened to you?"
"What happened to me?", she scoffed and laughed, "The most exciting thing of my life. You know, I was turned to the Devil. I was in Hell for a while and it was truly hell. Then He noticed my potential. He noticed that I could be an asset to his team," she tilted back her head and laughed.
I just stared. My Nora was destroyed. She was wrong. Nothing was right. This was not what I imagined what it would be like to see her again.
"So, now I'm on a mission." She looked at her black painted nails. " You know, nothing personal, but you smell like the earth. Kinda minty…ewww. And kinda like dirt." She leaned towards me and smelt my neck. I could feel her long lashes on my neck and her cold breath. She still smelt like Nora except more perfume. It was strong and smelt like black flowers. She had an edge to her. Her cheek bones were more pronounced and her eyes were red.
"Oh and I can read your mind. But let me let you in on a little secret", she leaned to my ear and whispered, "You can't read mine".
I turned my head and closed my eyes. She isn't right. I couldn't take this. I stood up and pushed her gently off me. She followed me until I came to Rixon's car. I acted like I would enter the car, but quickly turned around and pinned her to the car. My leg was digging into her thighs and my arm was at her neck. I didn't want to hurt her so I wasn't pushing her throat hard.
"What have you done to Nora?" I growled.
She smiled evilly and purred, "You don't want to know".
"Yes I do. NOW!", I pushed against her throat even harder, "I will kill you if you won't tell me-".
"No you won't," she smiled innocently; "I'm Nora. Remember?"
I pushed my face against hers and kissed her, pushing her even more into the car. I could feel her melt under me. She gave up, not struggling against me and kissed me back. She tasted wrong. Not sweet, or playful-she was only tough, her tongue fighting me instead of moving with it. I quickly pulled back and looked into her eyes. There was no hint of recognition and no innocence. Only pure hatred.
"Not what you hoped for? Not everything you thought it would be and more? Well, I could tell you the same thing".
You're not what I expected either, she whispered in my mind. I feel bad for you, almost. And my name isn't pathetic Nora, its Naomi.
She slithered her hand into my back pocket and pecked me on the cheek. I felt her fingers put something in the pocket, but didn't care.
"You're cute, but careless. Next time, I won't be so nice," she flashed me a smile and walked away. The clink click of her boots was screeching as my love walked away from me.
"Mate!" Rixon shouted. I turned around to find him with a pool stick in his hands and his hair messed up, "Was that Nora?"
I ran my hands through my hair and shook my head. I was afraid my voice wouldn't come out strong. This was too much for me. Something happened to Nora and I didn't know what it was. Naomi looked and felt like Nora, but it wasn't her. Now how could I live? How could I live again? I was tricked and everyone knew except me.
"Are you ok," Rixon asked striding over to me.
"That was Naomi. She was sent from Hell to complete a mission. I don't know what she has to do with Nora, but what if Nora was sent to Hell? What if she"-
I couldn't complete my sentence. If she was sent to Hell, it was all because of me. I could have prevented it and I could have stopped it, but I didn't. She was probably all alone in Hell with nobody to care for her. I was going to get her back and my first step was to find Naomi again. She was the key to my answers. I needed to get the answers from her…
"Hello? Are you still here?", Rixon said while waving his hands in my face.
"Yes. Rix. Can I borrow your car?"
"Sure, sure. Just drop me off at your house so I can help Vee out. I'm sure she's dying by now. She isn't so good with patience," he chuckled to himself.
I got in the front seat and turned the ignition on. I drove through town at the speed limit of 70. I know I was speeding, but what did I care? I had nothing to lose. I quickly dropped off Rixon and went to go back to Bo's. I needed to let go and try to forget all that happened. Maybe that person was still there to erase my memeries. I went to sit down, but felt something crunch. I reached for my back pocket and found the note that Naomi gave me. I smoothed out the note and read the loopy handwriting:
There is still a way to save Nora. You seem genuine.
