On Monday it was time for Natalies weekly appointment with Dr. Sara. Before going she called up Ingun to make sure that she would come with her. Natalie was pleased that Ingun said she was still up for it.
https://i.imgur.com/Mw9BZKw.jpg
Ingun was clearly nervous about going inside the hospital. She didn't like public places with the potential for many people gathering. Natalie had a bit of a struggle to get Ingun to join her inside once they were there..
When they eventually made it to the doctor's office the person sitting behind the desk wasn't Sara..
https://i.imgur.com/FzOGyYX.jpg
Man behind the desk: Good morning, I am Dr. Piumera, I will substitute for Dr. Lovensteen for today.
https://i.imgur.com/Pu97mA4.jpg
Natalie: Why? What happened to Sara?
Dr. Piumera: Oh, nothing happened to Sara. One of her kids got sick, so she is staying home to take care of him. I see you have a friend with you today, Natalie..
Natalie didn't quite believe what Dr. Piumera said. She got a strange feeling from this man, it was as if she had seen his face somewhere before...
https://i.imgur.com/UpPfBXx.jpg
Natalie: Yes, doctor.. this is my sister, Ingun. I think she could.. I wanted her to see Dr. Sara.. I think she could benefit from some.. professional assistance..
Ingun is wide eyed as if she had never been to a doctor's office before.
Dr. Piumera: I see..
Dr. Piumera turns to Ingun.
https://i.imgur.com/C4HFjIe.jpg
Dr. Piumera: So, Ingun.. is there anything that I, or perhaps Dr. Sara, can do for you?
https://i.imgur.com/sYWYuRd.jpg
Ingun looked at him with a blank expression on her face. She wasn't quite sure what to answer...
Natalie: Ingun, maybe you should tell the doctor about.. the, you know.. what you sometimes.. do to yourself...
https://i.imgur.com/VhHUldJ.jpg
Ingun didn't answer, her eyes fell down to the table in front of her. Dr. Piumera started to get an idea of what Natalie was hinting at, but he wanted or needed Ingun to say it herself.. He couldn't offer help based on someone elses words, even if that someone was the person's sister..
Dr. Piumera:What is it that you sometimes do to yourself, Ingun? If it is difficult to talk about, you can write it or draw it on the papers in front of you.
https://i.imgur.com/oDdOswY.jpg
Ingun: I... I am not doing it... It is doing it.. to me.. it w-wants to hurt me...
Dr. Piumera: It..? Is someone else trying to hurt you? Or telling you that you should hurt yourself?
Ingun: N-no.. it is not telling me.. it is just doing it.. I c-can't stop it from doing it.. I lose control...
https://i.imgur.com/oMz07aG.jpg
Natalie: Why haven't you talked to anyone about this before!?
https://i.imgur.com/eAkzc5x.jpg
Ingun: I didn't want her to.
https://i.imgur.com/gb5JbDf.jpg
Natalie: What?
Ingun got up from her chair and walked around the table to face Natalie, her voice suddenly being that of a different person, a stranger.
https://i.imgur.com/1DFpryL.jpg
Ingun: I said.... I didn't want her to.
Natalie got up and backed off.
https://i.imgur.com/b4tBQK1.jpg
Natalie: Who are you!? You're not my sister!
Maybe Elisa was right, and there was a demon inside her sister..
Dr. Piumera also got up from his chair and turned to Ingun..
Dr. Piumera: Sister... not now..
https://i.imgur.com/QOexOao.jpg
Ingun: Yes, now.. this has taken long enough.. we have to go forward.. now..!
https://i.imgur.com/jR2IbZV.jpg
Natalie: Move forward with what? What are you talking about, Ingun?
https://i.imgur.com/4w994oa.jpg
Ingun: This, Natalie! This is what I am talking about! Don't you remember? All the times your mother slapped me instead of you....
https://i.imgur.com/0TQbZfj.jpg
Natalie: I don't know who or what you are, but I want my sister back!
She slapped her again.
https://i.imgur.com/H0xY03F.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Bci0ghL.jpg
Natalie: Ingun? What is going on? Why are you doing this?
https://i.imgur.com/9a0C8U7.jpg
Dr. Piumera: That is enough, sister! Enough!
https://i.imgur.com/e7jo1h1.jpg
????: Fine then.. for now...
https://i.imgur.com/kKqYpOa.jpg
????: But that does not mean that I am finished with you, Natalie... Elisa is right in everything she has said... except for one thing.. you and your sister stand no chance in beating us.. I already control your sister... and there's nothing you can do about it..
https://i.imgur.com/R9S90Fi.jpg
????:Come on brother, let's get out of here...
https://i.imgur.com/RorW7IN.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/HBM5YgO.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Nc6ZPZU.jpg
Natalie managed to put out the fire with the aid of the hospitals sprinkler system, but of course, this event didn't go by unnoticed.. hospital guests and staff had rushed to the fire to help put it out (or maybe just to stand around it screaming in panic...)
Even Sara had rushed to the office once she heard that it was on fire...
Sara: Natalie!! What happened Natalie?? I came here as fast as I could!
https://i.imgur.com/9HMOKMZ.jpg
Natalie: The demons! They have my sister! They're coming to get me!! They are the ones that set fire to your office when they left!!
https://i.imgur.com/6N80JxN.jpg
Natalie: I saw them! She transformed herself right in front of my eyes!! The demon is inside my sister!!
Sara: Wow, wow, wow, Natalie!
https://i.imgur.com/W7mbxge.jpg
Sara: What are you doing here? Didn't you get the message that your session was postponed until tomorrow?
https://i.imgur.com/6EDwttY.jpg
Sara: And why in the name of the heavens and all that is holy did you set fire to my office?? Natalie!! What is going on??
https://i.imgur.com/mRlg6sx.jpg
Natalie: It wasn't me!! It was the demons that did it!! You gotta believe me!! I would never set fire to your office!!
https://i.imgur.com/KMQHCWa.jpg
Natalie: I brought my sister here, because I wanted to help her, but then she started acting all strange and she became a demon! I swear! I know this sounds crazy, but I am not making it up!!
https://i.imgur.com/HMI510r.jpg
Sara: Natalie... you scare me... you really scare me now...
Natalie: You're scared? How do you think I feel!? They got my sister.. you gotta help me, please!!
Natalie fell to the ground in front of Sara...
https://i.imgur.com/56rib5T.jpg
Natalie: Help me.. please..
https://i.imgur.com/E3zqucx.jpg
Sara: Alright, alright... but Natalie, this fire will still have to be reported.. you could potentially face charges for something like this...
Natalie: But it wasn't me! I didn't start the fire! It was the demons!
Sara: Well, I am going to honest with you.. you are lucky the fire was put out and didn't spread.. and as far as I can see, miracurously enough, nothing has been damaged... but..
https://i.imgur.com/eiBIvog.jpg
Natalie: Look at me, Sara!! Do you see my wings? I am an angel, or atleast half of one! Can you believe in that?
Sara: Well, yes...
https://i.imgur.com/Gv5be5l.jpg
Natalie: And so you also know what is on the other side of the spectrum from angels? Demons!
Sara: Well.. I.. I do..
https://i.imgur.com/g0xg4Jw.jpg
Natalie: And they did this! I swear! I don't know their names, because I have never seen them before! And probably they weren't even in their true form! But they did this, not me! And they have my sister!
https://i.imgur.com/jcO3VzZ.jpg
Sara: This is almost a little to much to take in, but.... I .. I...... but I am only human... I don't know how to help you with that, Natalie...
A police officer enters the office and introduces herself to Sara.
https://i.imgur.com/0HLSTaV.jpg
Police officer: Officer Hammurabi-Gula, Lagash Police Department. We got a call about a fire at the hospital... were you here when it happened?
Sara: I was not, but..
https://i.imgur.com/q7r7wnF.jpg
Natalie: I... I was, officer. I was right here when it started.
Police officer: You were here when it started? How did the fire start?
https://i.imgur.com/7ORxoMg.jpg
Natalie: Yeah, that's the thing.. There were two of them, two demons.. one man and one woman. And they.. they started the fire..
Police officer: How did they start the fire?
https://i.imgur.com/xUqluil.jpg
Natalie: Umm.. they said they should get out of here and then they..lifted their arms and.. let out these horrible screams, and all of a sudden they were surrounded by fire... and then they disappeared in the fire... kind of..just like that...
https://i.imgur.com/YWDerZi.jpg
Police officer: That's.. incredible.. Sounds like we're dealing with something powerful here..
Sara: Wait.. you believe her??
Police officer: Yes, I do, ma'am....both me and uh..
Natalie: Natalie.. my name is Natalie..
https://i.imgur.com/RvmYDfX.jpg
Police officer: ..Natalie over here are angels, or halfbreed angels, so.. and demons are angels too just on the opposite end of the spectrum. The source of a demons evil is cosmic in nature, and goes beyond simple personality traits.. Their greed and hunger for power is so great, its not just simple megalomania... Looks like we got some new guests in town...
https://i.imgur.com/DME6QHX.jpg
Police officer: Natalie, I'm afraid a matter like this is beyond the scope of what the police can deal with, but.. just to make sure, did they mention any names?
https://i.imgur.com/AhJ3I8O.jpg
Natalie: No, no.. they didn't.. they referred to each other only as brother and sister.. And now I am worried about my own sister.. Ingun..because she was.. I brought her here, so that she could talk to Dr. Sara.. but.. then she became.. the demon.. and who I thought was the substitute doctor for Sara.. somehow was a demon as well...
Police officer: Can you describe how they looked?
https://i.imgur.com/shqrlX9.jpg
Natalie: Well, the female demon.. looked like my sister, Ingun, only.. her eyes were pure red, and after her transformation she had these pony tails on either side...her hair was completely black.. and she had these big golden earrings... she also wore this special black dress that had a cut out in the shape of a cross, but it was upside down...
https://i.imgur.com/1qckmO9.jpg
Natalie: The male demon had blonde hair and .. pinkish looking eyes, and.. I think he wore a brown or, no, a black leather jacket with a yellowish brown sweater underneath..
https://i.imgur.com/KTjZ52x.jpg
Police officer: Thank you, we will check it with our register. Ma'am, if anything strange happens from here on, do not hesitate to call the emergency number...
https://i.imgur.com/h89dHLH.jpg
Police officer: Doctor... I am afraid I am going to have to close this office for public access for now, until forensics has been here and done their job.
Sara: Oh, that's alright.. I hope you can.. you can figure out who it was...
https://i.imgur.com/YSEJIA5.jpg
Police officer: So do I doctor.. so do I...
And after this incident, Natalie had to go to her shift at work.. And so did Ingun.. Natalie was terrified of this.. She was hoping that Ingun would be there, and not the demon in the shape of Ingun...
https://i.imgur.com/gCTE5o5.jpg
The usual crew outside the restaurant waiting to enter, Ramona to the left. Natalie had already entered, Ingun was nowhere to be seen..
https://i.imgur.com/cHb2esw.jpg
I waited outside the restaurant to see if Ingun showed up, and half an hour late to her shift, there she was.. Well, it looks like Ingun, no red eyes and the normal work outfit... so.. well.. let's hope that it is the actual Ingun and not something else in disguise..
Well, I guess it was, because the shift went alright, with no special incidents, not even burnt food, so.. * looks like the demons have disappeared for now, but from what it sounded like, they certainly have some plan for something chaotic I would assume...
https://i.imgur.com/GPVKnWe.png
Translated text from pop-up: Natalie was asked to take something out of the freezer, but then the door slammed shut behind him! It took half an hour before someone heard him shout. The boss asked for an apology and hopes Natalie won't sue.
* not counting the incident where Natalie was locked inside the freezer for half an hour (and the game not knowing whether Natalie is male or female..) Natalie here is definately female, let there be no doubt.

Isaac had finished another painting at his after school activity which he brought home and hung up on the wall in his room. The kid has got some imagination. Pretty good for a 12, soon to be 13, year old.
