Here´s to you Saku, I hope it doesn´t disappoint you
*****
“Are you
hurt, Nichole?” Natasha asked through the phone
“Why else
would I call?” Nichole smirked on the other side of the line but her voice was
the same rehearsed one to show the emotion she wanted to show
“Because
you want to say hi” Natasha said sarcastically
“Just come”
“Are you in
the woods?” Natasha hurried to ask
“You know
where I am” Nichole hung up
“This is a
nice place” Natasha said sitting in front of Nichole, in the farthest side of
the almost empty Italian restaurant in the town close to Burgeoys school.
“You like Italian
food” Nichole pushed a pasta plate towards Natasha. Nat had a motherly
expression on her face
“You are
not hurt” she started to eat her pasta
“That you
don´t see it doesn´t mean I´m not”
“Show me”
Natasha said, Nic half-smiled
“Do you
want to see me bleeding to confirm I´m hurt?” she raised her eyebrows and
Natasha stared at her. “Ok” Nichole bent down a little and took the knife she
carried in her boot, she extended her palm and put the blade on it, to cut
herself.
“Don´t”
Natasha hissed “Don´t hurt yourself” Nichole stared at her for a second and
then put the blade away and back to her boot.
“You should
be at school… It´s just lunch and you´re out”
“Don´t pretend you´re concerned about that”
“I am”
“I thought
you´d prefer this place than the woods” the girl smirked
“Why are
you acting like this?”
“I´m a
teenager, teenagers act like this” she tilted her head
“You´ve
never acted with ill intentions… you´ve never been like that”
“It was
bound to happen… I can´t believe you thought I was that stupid”
“I have
never thought you are stupid”
“Good. I
think the same of you”
“What do
you want?” Natasha shifted uncomfortable on her seat
“Why is
Karl fighting with his wife?”
“You´re not
calling him father” Natasha said in a small voice
“You´re
avoiding my question”
“How would
I know?”
“For one
thing ´cause you´re one of the few that know his secret –she pointed her thumb
to herself- and because you´re his wife´s friend”
“I´m not
friends with…”
“But you
talk, for better or worse you´re Mii´s doctor too, you must know”
“I don´t”
“Then
you´ll find out”
“Since when
do you care about your father´s domestic life?”
“He´s my
father, I care”
“Don´t pull
that with me, I was there when you were perfecting those smiles and faked
words!”
“I know you
were there, watching and stitching me when I got punished for not doing it
right –Natasha seemed like she´d cry any moment- save that –Nichole pointed
her- save that, just tell me”
“I don´t
know”
“Ok,
something simpler”
“Where´s
Karl?” Natasha seemed shocked
“At home”
“Which
home?”
“His”
“Ok,
where´s Mii?”
“At school”
“Are you
sure?” Nichole lifted her eyebrows and the side of her mouth twitched up
“What did
you do?” the woman seemed alarmed. Nichole shrugged “Nichole, Camille is your
sister! You… you..”
“My mother
never had other children”
“Nichole
where were you last night?”
“Killing a
woman” Nichole mouthed and Natasha closed her eyes
“Where were
you after that?” she whispered
“I was with
Karl”
“How did
you…”
“Found him?
… I didn´t, that´s why I am asking you to tell me”
“Nichole
–Natasha put a hand over her heart- why do you do this to me? Are you trying to
kill me?”
“I have
easier ways to do that” Nichole tapped her fingers on the table. Natasha
chuckled.
“I can´t
believe you know me more than what I know you”
“I doubt
that… you know more than what you like to show”
“But,
honestly, why the sudden interest in your father?” the older woman asked after
a moment of eating in silence.
“I used to
ask about him all the time”
“Yeah, you
used to..”
“Alright,
I´ll tell you if you tell me” Nichole half smiled, Natasha narrowed her eyes
“You first”
“Ok, I know
Karl´s wife took Camille to Crystals house in the middle of the night”
“How did
you know that?” Natasha furrowed her eyebrows and Nichole raised one of her
eyebrows “Camille…” the woman sighed “how did she contact you?”
“Don’t ask
me that”
“That girl
is very smart” she said as Nichole smiled fondly
“Why would
her mother take her like that? She´s never reckless when it comes to Camille”
“Camille´s
mother wants your father to adopt her other children”
“She´s always
want that, that´s not new”
“She also
wants another child”
“And…”
“Your
father refuses to more children..”
“Keep
going”
“He told
her he doesn´t want his two children to live like he and your mother had to”
“His two
children…?”
“Nichole
and Camille” Natasha said gently “she thought her and Camille were the ones to
get more and for Jess and Ash to get some too –Nic furrowed her eyebrows- you
and Camille will get everything…”
“Once he
dies” Nichole quickly recovered to conclude
“I guess”
“I don´t
want any of that besides, I already have money… “ she didn´t want to think that
because she was the monster and for that she got paid with money… no matter how
little of it she tried to used… she was as guilty as her father for it.
“You’re his
wife daughter…”
“Was his
new wife pressuring him to not take that into consideration?”
“She´s
mentioned she thinks you might take away Camille´s part specially since she´s
much younger than you”
“She took
Camille to pressure him… For money!” Nichole said with an even tone but the
look in her eyes reflected the opposite. Natasha nodded
“I think
so” the woman confirmed, Nichole closed her eyes. “Don´t get mad, see it from
her point of view, she sees you as a threat, she thinks your father still loves
your mother more and therefore he must love you more”
“Ignorance
is a bliss” Nichole laughed humorlessly
“You
asked…”
“Of
course…”
“Should
your father feel scared now that you know this?”
“I won´t
kill my sister´s father… I won´t kill my other parent”
“You’re a
good girl, Nic” Natasha put her hand over Nichole´s gloved hands, she quickly
removed her hands and glared at the woman
“Natasha,
why are you Camille´s doctor?”
“What do
you mean?”
“Karl made
you my doctor, why did he make you my sister´s doctor too?”
“I guess he
thought if I could handle you, I could handle her and be trusted with his other
child too… why?”
“You’re
obviously not trustable. I bet he doesn´t know you´re telling me this…
specially money-wise”
“Nichole!”
Natasha pouted indignant
“Make sure
Camille’s ok” Nichole got up
“She´ll be
ok, don’t worry” Natasha tried to hug Nichole who put her hand in front of her
“That is
something I don´t need from you”
“Nichole…”
the woman seemed hurt
“You know
what I need from you…” the girl said as she passed next to Natasha.
Natasha is kind of a ditz. Lol. She gets scared of Nic but then she goes bavk to acting nonchalant. That had me laughing
ReplyDeleteSo that's why she brought Mii with her. For leverage. I get why she'd want to do that though. Her kids aren't getting anything. She's basically thinking like a mom. And it is pretty cruel of Karl to not leave them anything just because they aren't blood.
Now I hate him again. That sympathy was short lived, wasn't it.... sigh
Nic is being pretty flip. She is definitely showing her age in this one. 17 definitely. She was so snarky and sassy. Haha She's feeling confident about something or she just enjoys teasing Nat because she knows she's afraid of her. Lol. She treats her like a kid. Nic treats Nat I mean.
Maybe Karl thinks Mii may bevome like Nic one day and thats why Nat is her doctor too...? I don't think she is because when Nic was Mii's age she was sick a lot due to the 'curse' she has on her body(now her hand). Mii is healthy and so are the people around her. Nic was sick and she made her mom sick too...
Too many thoughts!!
I know, the woman is crazy ;)
DeleteYeah, she was acting like a mom, she wants all her kids to get some, but ofc Karl got mad to get his kid treated like that... and well, he mistreats his older children, what can you expect of him?
hahaha it´s like you said, maybe he´s around 97% mean
yeah, for once. She´s gotten pretty affected by whatever she learned last time and this was about her baby sister, so it´s hard for her to control herself. I think she enjoys teasing Nat, she like having control.
It makes me happy that you remember their background! who knows? maybe that´s Karl's motivation to make Nat their doc... or maybe it´s like Nat said, he trusts her.
yay! I loved your comments!!
