Chapter 10 - Natalie

Natalie felt her hands and limbs be controlled by a force she couldn’t see. She looked up to see the man and Axle speaking, stunned by what was going on. The old man had set the demon on fire with a single touch, killing it instantly, and now she was forced to sit down by magic. It was insane.

“…keep her safe,” she heard the man saying, before he turned to her. “Stay with him, don’t do anything stupid, I’ll be back.”

As he walked out of the room, Natalie felt her body release and she dropped to a knee.

Axle turned to her, raising an eyebrow. “Are you okay?”

“No,” Natalie replied. “I have no idea what just happened with him, we were just attacked, again, and everything is just so…”

Axle walked up to her, causing her to feel a little apprehensive. She was never sure of what the man was going to do. But he just grabbed her gently and lowered her to the chair, making her sit again. Natalie noticed that she was shaking, so she took a breath, trying to recover herself.

“Look, I know everything you’ve seen right now might shake your reality, but it’s going to be fine. Just stay calm, I need you alert in case something happens. I can’t have you zoning out here. Okay?”

Natalie frowned, pulling away. He wasn’t trying to reassure her, he was just trying to keep her safe, because of the bracelet she had on. But then she recalled everything that he had done for her—the monsters, saving her life. He had gotten her out of the caves and had spent the last few days doing his best to keep her safe. She hadn’t gotten a chance to say thank you.

“Axle,” she began, not sure how to even thank him. “You’ve saved my life. I don’t know how to thank you.”

He took a look at her, and smiled for the first time since they had met. It wasn’t a half bad smile either. “I don’t do it for the thanks. I’d just rather see you alive.”

“Yeah, well, either way you’ve done a lot, and I just have to say thank you. I’m sorry for yelling at you, and treating you like this. I probably would have been dead if it wasn’t for you, so…” She reached out and touched his arm. “Thank you, for real.”

“Yeah, want help me clean up a bit?” Axle asked, tossing her a broom.

Natalie nodded and went to work, knowing that it was better than sitting idly. Keeping her mind busy seemed to work, save for the fact that she had seen something otherworldly punch a hole through the wall. It was the stuff nightmares were made of. The creatures were made of rotten decaying flesh, with features that just didn’t make any sense.

She picked up a piece of the ceramic from the bathroom sink, holding it in her hand as Axle walked back in after disposing of the bodies of the creatures. “Axle,” she said, her voice in a whisper, so low she barely heard it.
