Nai Storm's Story

Nai overheard her name and rested against the doorway looking at Kat and Spark.

"I most certainly cannot." Nai snorted, removing her biker jacket. "You guys know perfectly well that I've never been in a relationship."

"What's been going on since I last left? Sounds like someone's having relationship problems." she slung the jacket on her shoulder and stared at Kat. "Who's the lucky one then?"

Hearing all that, Nai only shook her head.

"Seriously... I leave you guys for a while and so much stuff went on. Why'd you guys even go to the science far even? And you're dating Death. Wow. Brilliant."

"Awesome outfit, agreed."

"THEY'RE WHAT NOW?" Nai stared at Spark. "Really? Shapeshifters?"

"Heavens, they turn into wolves now?" Nai raised an eyebrow. "I'll stay out of Death's room, no worries about that."

When Spark hugged her, she smiled and hugged back. "It's good to be back Sparky."

"So... you turn into a wolf now, huh?"

Nai watched as Spark turned into a wolf with surprise.

"You look great!" Nai looked at Spark. "What does it feel like?"

Nai held out a hand to pat Spark then stopped, "Can I, Sparky?"

Nai heard. She heard it all. Those two talking by the beach. It was wrong, but living for over thousands of years taught Nai that sometimes, eavesdropping was something good. So she listened, no matter how wrong it seemed. Hiding behind the rocks where she often hid to watch the waves, she listened as Kat and Death talked about Death's past relationships. It wasn't hard to figure out that Sparks had feelings for the FMV/God hybrid.

When she saw the two fly off, she took a while by the rocks, where the high tide eventually rushed in, soaking her wet. The cold that accompanied that could never compare to the coldness she felt as the heart that has slowly thawed when she met Sparks begin to ice up again. Nai promised herself to never get hurt. Not after over a hundred relationships spanning over several thousand years. She outlived them all. Just when she thought...

"Just when I thought as a human... I could live a normal life... with someone beside me..." she smiled sadly at her own reflection in the water. "I'm a fool."

She waddled her way out of the water, and got on her bike. She revved up the engine and pulled a 180 spin before riding down the road... away from the house.

The engine roared through the night with a certain sadness to it as she floored the accelerator. Getting faster... faster... faster. Getting away from heartbreak.

'I won't feel like that again. I'd rather be alone.'

(Anybody out there?)

Kat and Austin: *looks down* What now?

(To be honest, I forgot about this for awhile.)
