Natalie's point of view

I glance up from the rings I'm making when someone enters the tent. I sigh when I see who it is. "I'm sorry I had no right outting your feelings like that." She doesn't respond. She only moves over to where I'm sitting and sits next to me. "Sophie..." I don't really know how I could ever make up for something this bad. This is worse than being outed as gay. I would know. So would Kate. and even Sophie for that matter. "It's ok," she whispers. "Sophie, it's not I didn't have the right to do that." I sigh. She's too stubborn to hear it. "Mind if I help You make rings for a while?" she asks quietly. It can't hurt anything. "I don't suppose why not." I tell her.she sighs taking a stone i've already spelled and placing it in the ring bar. She's not ok. This isn't what someone does when they are ok. But it's cute, I've never realized it before now, but she's rather gorgeous in candle light. She looks small and determined. 'Forgive me?" I whisper, not sure if she heard me. "What's to forgive Natalie, You were hurt and lonely. It happens. I'm not mad. So there's nothing for me to forgive, You have to forgive yourself." She says calmly. "I'm not sure if I can. What if I lost Kate for good this time?" I ask, more and more desperate concern growing in my voice by the minute. "You didn't." she says and before I can say something else she cuts me off to finish what she was saying. "You didn't see the look she had tonight when she left. But I did. I always see it, she looked determined and heartbroken yes. But she also looked as if she was burdened with guilt. Do you think she hasn't noticed your loneliness?" she asks. I know she's right. "She just seemed really mad. I really messed up this time." I say before I can hold it back like the rest of my feelings I keep hidden. "Yes you did. But I promise it's going to be ok. She will forgive you. Now you just have to figure out how to forgive yourself. That's going to be the hardest part." She says like she knows more about mistakes than anything, which I suppose she does, letting Kate walk away when she loved her the way she did. I don't say anything knowing it's not my place to. She tucks a strand of stray hair behind her ear, it's at this moment I truly notice how pretty she is, and how much I want nothing more than to kiss her. I take a deep breath, what are you thinking Natalie this is your sister's ex girlfriend you can't think like that. Focus. This is the friend you've known as long as you can remember. You don't want to ruin that. FOCUS. I'm screaming in my head not to do it, but it seems I've lost all control of my body. Before I know it I'm leaning closer to her. Slowly I close my eyes letting myself kiss her. I back away hurriedly once I regain control. What have I done..... I definitely messed up this time. "I'm so sorry Sophie I..I didn't mean to. You just looked so pretty and I don't know." She remains quiet and gets up leaving the tent. I sit down staring at the Kyanite rocks zoning out. I continued staring at them for a moment as if it was the rocks who did the wrong thing. Before I start crying long and hard. Why did I do that? I'm so stupid. Ughh if Kate didn't hate me she will when she finds out about this. There's a small part of me that wants to run to Sophie and make sure she won't tell Kate. but I know I can't ask that of her. Before I realize it, I've started panicking. I don't want to lose Kate. I don't want to be alone, I don't want to cry anymore. And I don't want to have this baby. Slipping out of the tent I make sure I'm not being followed and I walk over to the row of Aconite the Wolves had started growing to keep themselves in check. Grabbing a strand of the plant I go to the wolves den looking for one of them. About to give up and head back to the tent I bump into one of the younger wolves "Hey Roscoe right?" I ask innocently. "Uhh yeah. What do you need?" he asks sweetly. Shuffling my feet around I look down and ask "would it be asking too much if I wanted some tea.. ?" He sighs. Looks down and then he lights up looking back up at me "You're pregnant right?" I frown. I guess everyone knows huh? "Um yeah I am" He smiles lightly. "Then no it's not too big of an ask. Come on, I'll put the kettle on." He walks out to the fire, following me quietly. Watching him put the tea on, I sat down near the fire trying to stay warm, it seemed the temperature had dropped while I was making rings. "I bet you get bored sitting in there all on your own making those silly rings." he says out of nowhere. "They're not silly. They help your pack keep full control whenever they want." I told him. I watch as he sighs, considering this for a moment then "so good silly rings?" he asks with a goofy smile. "Yea I suppose so." I say smiling back. We sat there talking for a while waiting for the tea. But when it's done I take a cup with me to the tent telling him I'm tired. Sitting down at the table I mix the Aconite into the tea, drinking it all. I lay down waiting for my baby to die. It is part werewolf after all, I'm already regretting it when my stomach starts hurting. Too late to go back now. I siphon my stomach to ease the pain. Eventually it stops all together. I lay on the mat under the blanket crying until eventually I fell asleep.
