The Evil Topic In Which Anything Could Happen

"We don't.' Shadow said, moving off again.

Onyx patted Natalie's hand gently.
"Just calm down, answers will come when they're ready to show themselves."

"It's just...difficult...like more difficult than watching your parents and sister die...and that was hard...I just....feel lost..alone...like everyone is against me and stuff..." muttered Natalie, picking up a pillow, ready to scream into it.

"But you're not." Onyx said quietly. "Not everyone is against you."

"I know...I know...it just feels like it...I guess it's just going to be hard for a while...because there's so much I can't do...because oh yeah...I'm pregnant...oh fun...throwing up over a toilet...WOOHOO...fun fun fun like..." said Natalie, running her fingers through her hair.

"It's only temporary..." Onyx said. "It'll be over soon."

"Yeah....five months...that's not a long time..." said Natalie sarcastically, "and even Holly wasn't sure..."

"It could be worse." Onyx said.

"But you never know...I mean...I'm pretty big for four months...I could be like...five...or six...I could get that checked later..." said Natalie quietly, more to herself than Onyx.

Onyx smiled at Natalie, trying to cheer her up.

Natalie smiled slightly back.
"It could be worse...we could be in jail or something..." said Natalie laughing slightly.

Onyx nodded.
"Or you could be stuck in a cell in Voldemort's house."

"That's happened to your mum before...hasn't it?" Natalie asked.

"That's where Arc and I were born." Onyx said quietly.

"I know...I heard...and Holly was there...I would have coped much better with that situation than run around screaming..." laughed Natalie, "and dancing...apparently..."

"I don't remember what she was doing." Onyx said. "But mother said that she was doing the usual two-hundred-qestion-when-she's-panicking routine."

"Yes...she always does...has never coped well with pain...or seeing people in pain..." sighed Natalie, grinning.

Onyx grinned back before yawning. She looked outside to judge the time.

Natalie looked out too, sighing.

Onyx lost herself in thought.

Natalie looked around the room.
"This is a beautiful place..." she said to herself.

Onyx sneezed violently, morphing into a wolf. With a groan, she changed back and sniffed.

Natalie laughed.
"That was kinda funny..." she pointed out.

"Lucky you." Onyx said, sniffing again.

"That's rough...that's why you hate cold season..." said Natalie, shutting up quickly.

"Yes." Onyx said. "I think I've got one..." She sniffed again before sneezing, morphing again.
