Natalie walked around the board walk looking the shops and arcades before seeing a comic book store. She walked in looking the sections until one caught her attention that reminds her of home. Flipping through each comic book a boy with a red bandana tied around his head came in and saw her looking at a Loki comic. "Finally removed your balls Nathan." Said the boy. "Excuse me?" Said Natalie looking at him. "Oh shit. Sorry you look like one of our usual customers. He tends here at this time after his band practice. Im Edgar Frog." Said the boy. "Natalie McFadden." Said Natalie. "So your Nathan's twin. He told me and my brother about you." Said Edgar. "Do you know where Nathan is now?" Said Natalie. "He lives in the warehouse of an old Hersheys company. Its not far from the board walk." Said Edgar then spotted someone stealing a comic. He yelled at them before going for the chase while Sam walked in. "Hey Natalie." Said Sam smiling at her. "Sammy. Where's Michael?" Said Natalie flipping to the next page of her comic. "At home helping Gramps." Said Sam looking the comics handing on the racks. "Okay. So its just you then." Said Natalie not seeing a boy her age walk in. "Yeah but my mom is close by working with her boyfriend." Said Sam. "You dont sound happy?" Said Natalie. "You think. I just dont like my parents splitting up. I thought things were perfect." Said Sam. "Love can come and go. Like my brothers dates." Said Natalie. "Hey they thought i was you most of the time." Sais the boy from the other side of the aisle. Natalie looked over seeing a boy identical to her and ran over to him. "Nathan!" Said Natalie jumping into his arms in a hug. "What are you doing here? I thought mom and dad told you to never see me again." Said Nathan holding her up by the thighs. "Please they threw my stuff out after i told him that youre still my brother or sister. Which ever." Said Natalie as Sam cleared his throat.
Natalie turned to see Sam looking between the two before jumping out of Nathan's arms. "Sorry. Sam meet my twin. Nathan meet Sam. I met him and his family two days ago." Said Natalie. "Hey." Said Nathan. "Hey. Man you two really are twins." Said Sam. "Guilty. Are you doing anything today?" Said Nathan looking at Natalie. "No." Said Natalie. "Cool because i want you to meet my friends at the warehouse tonight. We're doing a small concert." Said Nathan. "Can i come?" Said Sam. "Ask your mother since im gonna be responsible for a possible kidnapping." Said Natalie. "Rape,Murder, or all three." Said Nathan. "I get the idea. Can i see you two at the bus?" Said Sam. "The concert is at eight then ends at ten thirty." Said Nathan making Sam smile. "Awesome. I'll see you later." Said Sam running out of the store. "What bus was baby Ken talking about?" Said Nathan as Edgar and boy came in breathless. "Got the comic?" Said Natalie and Nathan at the same time. "Yes and we will be ready right Alan?" Said Edgar looking at his brother. "Yeah. But first we need to rest before we are vampire bait." Said Alan going to the room somewhere in the store. "Vampires?" Said Natalie looking at Nathan. "Justgo with it. Now lets see this bus?" Said Nathan. "Okay. I'll see you boys later." Said Natalie walking out with Nathan. They walked to the bus going inside as looked around including Natalie's room. "Mr. Norman's?" Said Nathan sitting on the bed. "Yep. Gave it to me after mom and dad threw me out and set half of my shit on fire." Said Natalie shrugging. "Grandma? Or Pap?" Said Nathan. "Alzheimer's remember." Said Natalie. "Oh. Well wanna see my place?" Said Nathan. "Leadthe way. You know Santa Carla more than me." Said Natalie following him out. Nathan walked her to the corner of the parking lot seeing a jeep with two guys asleep in the back. "Eli, Kevin. Get up my sister's here." Said Nathan honking the horn scaring them awake. "What? Whos she?" Said the boy with dark hair and frosted tips. "Natalie my twin. I was telling you guys about. Mostly Quinn." Said Nathan getting in the drivers seat. "Hey." Said Natalie hoping on the passengers side. Nathan drove out of the parking to the road for three miles off the boardwalk and pulled up to an open area with a small food court and the warehouse was only one outstanding the other buildings. "Come on. Lets get ready for tonight." Said Nathan after parking the jeep and got out. Natalie quickly followed the boys inside as Kevin and Eli left to the large garage.
The sun went down as a couple more people came to hang out in the food court. Natalie stood on the left side of the garage as Nathan and his friends set up the drums, electric piano, and guitars. "Welcome everyone in Santa Carla. Tonight is very special for me and the band as my sister will see us perform for the first time. Natalie." Said Nathan gesturing her to come over. Natalie shook her head and just waved at everyone then saw Sam and Michael smiling at her. A girl went up stage standing in front of the electric piano and played a few notes while singing. "Im going down about cry. Im reaching out through the dark. To find the spark." She sang. "Yeah Gloria." Said a guy in the crowd. Natalie smiled seeing everyone enjoying their time and felt someone watch her. She looked around with her eyes and spotted David with his boys along with a girl and little boy watching the show. Natalie listened to the band play a few more songs until she went to the food court. She waited in line to a burger place looking back Nathan playing the drums then saw a group of boys walking towards her. "Natalie. Glad you and Nathan saw each other again." Said Michael. "Yeah. Enjoying their music." Said Natalie. "Not bad. You okay?" Said Michael then got pushed aside. "Hey baby. What are you doing here with this loser?" Said a dark haired boy with red streaks. "Hes my friend. Now would you leave." Said Natalie. "Come on. We have a good time." Said the boy with frosted tips grabbing her arm. Michael pulled Natalie away from them but got blocked by more of the group members. "Dont play with me, babycakes. Let go." Said the red streak boy taking Natalie. Natalie turned to punched him in the nose then took off into the crowd. "Get that bitch!" Said redstreak holding his bleeding nose. Natalie looked around then felt someone pulled her into a solid chest. "David." Said Natalie looking at him. "Come on. Im taking you home. My boys will take care of them." Said David leading her to his bike. "Natalie!" Said Nathan pushing through the crowd. "Nathan. Im sorry but i gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow okay." Said Natalie before getting on the bike with David. "Alright just be careful." Said Nathan pecking her cheek. "She'll be fine." Said David and road off. Natalie held onto his waist so she wont fall off as David glanced at her. "You okay?" Said David. "Just shaking up from those guys. Not the first time." Sais Natalie. "Dont worry. Im not anyone touching my girl but me." Said David. "We'll see blondie." Said Natalie seeing they arrived at the bus. She got off unlocking the doors going in as David took a seat on the chair while Natalie went to her room.
