I didn't want to question Cora about how she knew that Marge was setting us up since she already had a Nogitsune inside her body and the answer could be that it had made her sense it or Cora was naturally suspicious of Marge and used her powers to see her intentions or something .
She still didn't know what Marge had planned for Nathaniel .
A huge group of men surrounded us and we did what anybody in our situation would do : Try to get out of the mess .
The men finally attacked us and we fought . Cora was a traitor among us but we needed her to stay in her cover so I had to use extra attention to see whether Cora needed more help . Nathaniel fought too . It was rather exciting to feel the feel of three fighting against almost a hundred men . The struggles was that it was becoming more and more hard for all three of us to stop using our powers . Cora wouldn't use hers as she was pretty badly hurt from using it last time but she could , if she was desperate .
Fighting them became harder by the second and at the exact time as I expected , Nathaniel lost control and transformed . The men that were attacking him and those who were planning on attacking him , stood still as a stone , shook by what they saw.
The sudden urge for me to feel the same as Nathaniel came rushing to my heart needy for attention and I gave in with Cora . Both of us threw the people fighting us 20 feet high and they were dead after falling back from a huge height . It didn't take much time for the rest of the men to retreat . Cora did a great job by prohibiting the bullets from their guns ages before the fighting started .
Her leg was bleeding even worse I left to find Marge while Nathaniel stood with Cora to help her . I broke open the door and grabbed her from near the window where she was looking out . She tried telling me something through gestures again but I simply locked both her arms together to stop her from trying with my own . We left for our house as soon as I joined Nath and Cora . Nathaniel was looking hurt when he looked at Marge and she had the same face on so I just took it as her last try to get our sympathy and let her act like how she wanted to .
We arrived at Nathaniel's house and I dragged Marge with me inside the house with the rest of the others . She was gesturing more signs towards Nathaniel but he already had tears on his eyes because of what she did out of jealousy . "Now tell us why exactly you tried to almost murder us !" Because of blood boiling in my body , I pulled her hair a little too much while making her sit on the same sofa that I sat when me and Nathaniel first met .
"Mommy! I thought that you'd never come back ! " The small happy voice made us look behind us to see Harvey running towards Margaret . We didn't know whether she truly loved her son since she did leave him with his father just because she was angry so Cora held Harvey back from hugging her without me asking her to . We had the same thing going on on our mind .
"Nathaniel , let's keep our feelings aside for now and understand the situation better . Would you mind telling us what she is telling since we can't understand her fully yet ?" I asked as politely as I could to Nathaniel , not trying to sound rude .
He slowly nodded and sat down properly , facing Marge on his right side while we were standing on Marge's left side , now behind Nathaniel when we were to the left of Nathaniel a moment ago . "Why and when did you order those men to attack us ? And you better give us a proper answer or else you'll regret that you lied ."
She looked at us dead in the eye , glaring , so we glared back at her more fiercely to suppress her built up ego . So she started telling whatever she was telling to Nathaniel . "You sure you're telling the truth , right ? " He asked her once she was done talking to him . She nodded confidently .
With her re-assurance , he turned back to us and told , " She thinks that her dad already knew of our visit . He was the only one who was ranked enough to order those men . They wouldn't listen to her even if she wanted them to . She also admits that she was jealous with the nicknames and wanted to hurt you both but she wouldn't have done it for real because she knows that it's just her jealousy ." The story from both the parties were different . Without thinking whether or not to ask the question , I asked Cora the question that I actually wanted to know . I didn't care whether she would think that I doubted her anymore since it was the right scenario to ask a question like this . "Cora , do you think that her story would match up with yours ?"
She blinked once . Then twice . Then thrice . A long silence . Her eyes shot up because she was trying to recall what she saw . "I don't actually know how I know because I don't recall using my powers but a there was sudden flash going in front of my eyes . Marge was talking to herself in her mind saying that she was jealous of both me and you . She also told that she wanted to hurt us . She did say 'but' towards the end but I couldn't hear what she said next because it stopped . "
"They can relate to each other . It can be either her dad , or her . So I'll see if I can find anything useful . Marge , give me your hand ." I ordered her , I couldn't care a least bit about her feelings at a time like this when we couldn't identify her as a friend , nor an enemy .
She hesitantly gave her my hand after telling something to Nathaniel . "She's warning you to be careful . She isn't like any other person or supernatural creature." I didn't know what she meant by that so I slightly moved my head to the side , expressing that I didn't understand . But before Marge could give more details , I found the answer on my own .
