I looked back . The others were quick to run to the door . "Open it Rene . " Kate said confidently . I was a little anxious for Nate and I were not on good terms . We had knocked out all of his guards in his city when we met Marge for the first time . It was also almost confirmed that he had good connections in between both human and supernatural sides .
Why was he here now ? Was he looking for conflict or does he just want to visit his daughter for real ? Did he now that Kate was here too ? With all those thoughts running in my mind , I didn't even realise that Kate had sprinted to out of view from us . I opened the door and saw a tall man , with a sun kissed skin . He also had the most beautiful red hair I had ever seen in my life . His eyes were small , and mono lids . His nose was as straight as a ruler with the perfect 90 degree curve towards the end to meet with his skin . I had a hard time believing that this man with the sharpest jawline , and most fit body among us , had already lived twice as much as me .
"Would you mind moving so that I can get in ?" His deep voice made me look up to his eyes again , back to reality . "Oh , sure !" It was a pity that now all of his health and body building seemed much more villainy to me than attractive . I welcomed him with a warm smile since it was still unknown of his intentions .
Problems with the behaviour of people around me started changing just when we were about to meet Kate . The people in Texas would know no one that looked like me because someone messed up their memories . The cameras were also played with . When I came back , Ben , Beth and Kate had episodes too . Maybe Nate and Fredrick were involved for sure after all .
Nate was welcomed by Marge herself and led him to the living room . It was all quite normal except not one of could discuss about anything since Nate would also be our subject . So we patiently waited for him to leave . We didn't want him to know that we had started sniffing him out !
I slowly went back to my room and almost shouted Kate's name out when I saw her sitting on my bed looking bored . "A-!" I covered my mouth immediately and gave a sigh of relief . "It was only you ! I thought it was somebody else !"
Kate chuckled a little drily to what I said . "You're voice sounds dry . Do you need some water ? I guess that you have been here for quite some time ?" During the short time we spent our time together , I was rather fond of her for being very strong .
"It's just - I don't know . I love Nate but I can't do anything about it . We are almost sure that he is on the bad side . He won't even accept me even if I end up switching sides just to be with him!" With that , she started sobbing . She was very careful to be silent even while emotionally broken down . I comforted her , patting her back slowly and steadily . It almost made me remember the time when Jed had broken down while talking about his family's murder . That made me remember something else . Dad had confirmed that he was definitely not included in Jed's family's murder . Then who had actually killed his family . Even if they were just vampires who lost control of their own blood intake , won't they have felt any kind of remorse when they killed many ?
Kate calmed down slowly and I decided to let her in on my thoughts . I still hoped that Jed had taken the right path and stuck to finding the real killers instead of simply framing a vampire to give self satisfaction . "They could've been any vampire with a blood thirst , right?"
Everybody who were with me had a mysterious past with them and I needed really good motivation to keep going as the god guy in the game . That was when Maria's name popped up in my mind . Maybe if I talked to her for a while , I might be able to find a reason for why I should remain on the good side . I had indeed made her realise the immature stuff she was doing .
"You should definitely go Rene . I don't want you to fall to the bad side , honestly ." Kate encouraged me to go when I told her about my problems . It felt like I had a real mother . I could never open up towards Hailey when I thought that she was my mother even though she acted the kindest way possible during the few hours I would meet the both of them in a day .
I opened my room's door and stopped in my tracks when I saw Nate right tin front of me . His hands were forward , as if he was going to open my door without knocking . I looked around and saw no Marge . "Oh. She had to use the toilet real quick so I was just looking around , you know ? I didn't expect this to be a bedroom . Can I look around ?"
The audacity he had to try and look innocent even when he was caught re handed made me want to make him into pasta . "Look sir . you know that this isn't Marge's house . Then who in their right mind would think about walking about ? My father wouldn't do that if he was somewhere he didn't know to talk to me ! You don't even know what relation I have with your daughter ! "
He was taken aback and his tanned skin became more red for god knows what .
I was also startled because Kate was almost caught because both of us were busy talking . Right , we were busy talking !
Had he hear Kate's voice ? Was that why he wanted to check my room ? To check if the other person I was talking to was Kate ?
