*Chapter 54: Snowman🎶

                                    

                                          
"C-Cam..." Nate frowned at me. I sighed, not expecting our reunion to be like this. I have to get my dream catcher back. I can't move without Cresselia to help me... Why did he even take my dream catcher in the first place? 
I pulled my arm away and walked towards the forest "Don't follow me. I need that dream catcher..." arms wrapped themselves around me, pulling me into Nate's shaking body "Nate..."
"You idiot! Why didn't you say anything?! I've been suffering this entire time..." he sobbed "You're alive... Thank Arceus" I frowned, feeling tears running down my face like a waterfall "I miss you" 
"You... What?" He turned me around to look at his crying face "Nate..." he held my cheeks. 
"All this time... I felt like I wasn't doing my job right. No matter how hard I worked, it was never enough. What happened to you-" I lost balance and fell on his torso. He held me up while I felt my heart beating so fast "Cam!"
"You called me Cam... Finally. I was sick of hearing you call me by my full name" I chuckled and pushed myself away a bit "This wasn't how I wanted you to see me. I have to get that dream catcher back... It's the reason why I'm alive now" I squeezed his arms "It's the reason why I've had energy. I have to go" 
"I'm not letting you out of my sight again! I'm coming with you" I stared at his determined face and smiled, holding his cheeks "You're different..."
"I might be different, but my feelings for you never changed. I couldn't tell you the truth. I wanted to wait until I had some answers... but that darkness can come back if I don't have that dream catcher" he kneeled down with his back towards me and reached for the back of my knees to force me to fall on him and lift me up "N-Nate!" He turned to Hugh and Rosa.  
"Let everyone know we're leaving for an emergency! We're off!" He ran into the dark forest with one purpose in mind. I stared at him running while making sure I stayed on his back. It made me smile and hug his neck. 
"Thank you, Nate..." I said. 
"Don't thank me yet! We still need to get the-"
"No, I mean... Thank you for giving my life meaning" he stopped and looked back at me "If we never met, if I never told you about my nightmares, or never shared a room together, you wouldn't have thought to get me that dream catcher. It saved my life... If I never told you anything, we wouldn't have this moment right now" I hugged him close "I really do love you, Nate. Ever since we were little... Even when you were crying on your own in the forest. I loved your determination and trueness. I don't care if you don't love me back... I just enjoyed everything. I don't mind having this last moment with you"
"You're not going to have a last moment. Zoroark! Come out!" He threw his Poké ball with a larger version of the Zorua from before and got it to smell my hands to follow the scent of the dream catcher. It sniffed the air and went off on the run. Nate quickly followed after. 
I kept my eyes on how determined Nate was to find this dream catcher for me. It made me so happy... Even after lying to him this entire time, he's still willing to drop everything just to help me. 
Zoroark took us to a wide open area with four large cuts on a stone wall, that looked like a snowflake. Zigzag was laying on the snow face down with the dream catcher in hand. 
"What happened..?" Nate asked. I looked around, having a bad feeling about this. The atmosphere around here felt dark... Where we were was darker. There was no sign of light, which made it harder to see. 
"Chandelure!" I send out to give us light in this dark night. By the time light had appeared, something dark came out of Zigzag's body. I whimpered terrified while Nate held me close.
