Teen (13+)
Song: Vaults - Premonitions
Let's take it right back to where we used to go
But we never look back
No, we only look forward to other new pain
And violence turned to blame
No, we never look back
No, we only look forward with all our faith
Hearts broken from the start
With the feel that we were born to a fault
Only to be held tall by the writing on the wall
We don't need no premonitions, no
Aaron: Rooaar!! Raawaarr! Raawrr!
Aaron, is that really necessary? Your brother is trying to sleep...
Hmm, and by the looks of that stinking pile of clothes, it seems Natalie is slipping up when it comes to keeping the house clean again..
You don't need those gemstones anymore Natalie, so no need to think about that. Instead of sitting down to play with that toy.. maybe you should do some laundry? It's piling up...
As Isaac went to bed really early in the afternoon, he wakes up in the middle of the night fully rested. Natalie still hadn't gone to bed.
Natalie: What are you doing up at this hour, Isaac? Have you been drinking coffee? You know I have forbid you to drink coffee!
Natalie: I'm going to slap you, if I catch you up at night drinking coffee again!!
Isaac got angry naturally, and had no idea what she was yelling about.. he had not been drinking any coffee.. they didn't even own a coffee machine.. where would she get that idea!? And saying you're going to slap your own child.. that's a line you shouldn't be crossing, Natalie.. but you live what you've learned I guess...
When the kids went to school the next morning, Natalie was still asleep. She didn't go to sleep until around 3 in the night.
Natalie woke up to the phone ringing, a few minutes past twelve.
It was Teresa Mater, the nun, calling. She was holding a feast to celebrate the arrival of spring and wanted Natalie to join.
Before entering the party, Natalie had to stop and taste the rain for a while. Still a child at heart..
Natalie: Can you believe how ridiculous Teresa is.. thinking that these crosses and whatnot is good to ward against demons.. ha! I don't really believe in any of this.. I think it's stupid!
Normally the nunnery wouldn't allow males to enter, but I guess they made an exception for this event.. or maybe this guy standing next to them is registered as female, I don't know..
Idun (trying to be diplomatic): Yeah.. I kind of ... understand where you're coming from..., but I wouldn't say it like that. Teresa is very kind to invite us to this feast! Let's enjoy ourselves!
Natalie (mumbles to herself): "Let's enjoy ourselves..." bah! These people are so stupid.. I'm gonna find the kitchen to make myself a pumpkin pie.
The phone rang as she was cooking in the oven. It was Elisa calling.
Elisas voice is heard mumbling through the phone.
Natalie: Someone uninvited? What.. who can that be?
Natalie: What are you trying to say, Elisa? Someone that is something they are not...?
Natalie: Now you listen to me, Elisa. I believe what you say just as much as I believe in giant monsters living in mountain lakes... that is, not at all!
Natalie: Don't call me again with this nonsense Elisa! Goodbye!
Natalie: Stupid old witch and her doomsday sayings...
This must be one of Natalies grumpy days...
Natalie: Oh, and I now I burnt the pumpkin pie... I'm not eating that...
Then she goes upstairs to talk to another one of the nuns, Birgit, about rain. And give her a scare. You're some angel, aren't you, Natalie? Scaring a nun..
Some angel indeed..
I mean, lets face it, you are evil, Natalie. Maybe not fully, but atleast in part.
And then, you also have this tender side that sometimes shows itself...
Teresa: Thank you for coming to my feast! How have you been since last time, Natalie? Have you been sleeping well?
Natalie: Oh, thanks for asking! I am sleeping just like an innocent child!
Natalie: But that is not because of you and your silly book and figurines! All that is pure nonsense!
Teresa: How dare you!? Listen to me, little girl!
Teresa: There are dangerous things out to harm you! Quite possibly put an end to you!
Teresa: However, I am not mad at you, Natalie.. but rather disappointed and sad. Little one, we are praying for you! And by the looks of things, you're going to need all the prayers you can get..we are only trying to help you, Natalie..
Natalie: Whatever, I need a shower..
Teresa: *sigh* She doesn't get it...
-- After showering and changing to her sleepwear, Natalie finds another nun hanging around..
Natalie: Haha, you nuns are so silly with all your stupid talk about dangerous things all the time..
Thelma:Who invited you here!? I will tell our Mother Teresa to have you kicked out and to never return!
Natalie (in a whiny temperamental voice): But I want to use your rocking chair!
Wow, Natalie.. you're behaving just like a four year old with a temper tantrum. I can't believe you're actually 36 years old! This is embarassing to watch!
Natalie: Fucking nun!! I want to use that rocking chair!!
Thelma: You can't behave like that around here. This is a nunnery! Such words are completely unacceptable. Go home. Now.
Thelma: Shoosh! Go on!
Natalie had no choice here, but to listen and go home...
------------
The morning after looked relatively normal in the Goth-Asli household, with Aaron, still in his dinosaur costume, doing homework, and Natalie preparing breakfast. Isaac was resting in the rocking chair, as he often did, and Billy was upstairs, just about to wake up from sleep.
And then one of the nuns came over. This one just walked in without knocking. "Mind if I sit down" the nun said, before she sat down giving Natalie no time to answer her question.
This nun clearly did not approve of Billy for whatever reason.
The nun made eye contact with Natalie, before she started talking.
"You are in great danger, Natalie" she said.
"You need blue healing diamonds and crystals in your home. That will keep the danger away."
Natalie does not respond, but continues on with her business..
"Gemstones, holy rituals and crystals.. when is this nonsense going to end?" Natalie thought to herself. "Not even in my house will they let me be..."
"I am serious, Natalie" the nun continued. "If you do not listen to the warnings you get, The Great Dragon himself will get you!"
"This is just getting more and more ridiculous" Natalie thought.
Natalie: Get out of my house, nun lady! And stop spreading these nonsensical lies!
Nun: Well, you are going to regret those words once the Dragon gets to you, and you will scream in eternal pain as you are burned by his fire!
Natalie: That sounds like a threat, nun lady! Get the fuck out of my house before I slap you silly!!
Natalie raised her hand as if to slap the nun across the face..
Nun: Alright, I'll leave, but you will regret these words one day...
Natalie: Just get out..
And so the nun lady leaves...
...!!!!
Something tells me that wasn't a nun lady!! And the neighbours have noticed the fire, but they are all useless, just standing there panicking.. someone call the fire department!!
Well done, Natalie! You put the fire out, or maybe it died out by itself, but holy bagpipes what was that!? Now I would start to be very afraid if I was you, Natalie...
