Cackles Academy for Witches (Shadow and Natalie)

Natalie shivered slightly.
"This is weird..." she said quietly.

Shadow shrugged.
"You get used to it."

Natalie grinned.
"Well you would..." she said.

Shadow chuckled quietly.
"Yes, well..."

Natalie grinned.
"Well...we all talk to our emotions...you...just...do it more literally than others," said Natalie.

Shadow sighed.
"Yes, rather unfortunately in some cases."
"Such as Love."
"Yes..."

"Agreed..." said Natalie, sighing also.

"Anyway." Knowledge said. "I believe there is a problem to solve." The emotion had a slightly eager glint in her eye.

"Yes...rather...well...can you help?" Natalie asked.

"It would help if we knew the problem." Wisdom pointed out. "Shadow doesn't know, and therefore, neither do we."

"Well...she...she tried to kill herself..." said Natalie forwardly, "and then, I tried to bring her back to life...and then I broke into her mind...and Meran was there...and then this Shadow came in wolf form...and morphed into what she is now..."

The two emotions shot Shadow evil looks.
"Despair got to you then." Knowledge said to Shadow, who nodded a bit sheepishly.

"And Meran..." reminded Natalie.

"Yes, and Despair was the one that took over at one point instead of her sister, Hope." Knowledge said.

"Hmmm..." Natalie said, not a bit worried about being ignored.

Knowledge looked at Wisdom and strode off into the books to find something.

Natalie stood in total silence.

Shadow started to flick through another book.
"Feel free to browse." Shadow said.

Natalie nodded quietly, and began to run a finger over the books on the shelves. When she found one she liked the sound of, she sat down, and began to read.

Shadow helped her emotions, and they eventually found an answer.

Natalie apparated quietly away for a moment, and then reappeared, holding baby Tomorrow in her arms.

"Shadow...I have been lying to you and Holly about something..." said Natalie quietly.

"Nat?" Shadow asked.

"I didn't adopt this baby...this...is my baby..." said Natalie, smiling slightly.

((LOL It's like a soap))

Shadow shrugged.
"Nat, I was pregnant as well. You didn't have to hide this from me. Who was the father?"

"No one...I...took a potion..." sighed Natalie, "that is why I am embarassed...but it hurt so much...going it alone...especially the last part...and I didn't even tell the healers who were helping me that I'd done this by potion...I just got on with it...I did what I had to do...I was more afraid than I have ever been in my life...and they kept looking at me every time I screamed in pain with eyes full of sadness...it was like they were thinking I'd been abandoned to do it alone or something...and all through it I was just thinking of the next day...when it'd all be over and I'd have my baby girl with me....that's where her name came from, you see...but she has two middle names..." Natalie paused, "Shadow...and Holly...because...well...I imagined you two beside me...supporting me...and it comforted me..."
