I own nothing supernatural! Sorry if the story seems a bit slow, itll pick up soon enough :) enjoy!
"I'm exhausted Aiden! Can we please take a break now?" Lauren begged as sweat began to build up on her brow. Aiden was trying to teach her the simple task of teleportation, well he said it was simple. She could travel a short distance but that made her tired.. especially since she had been practicing for three hours. Aiden muttered something under his breath and then motioned for her to stop. He handed her an apple and watched her as she ate it.
"Why are you looking at me like that…" Laura asked putting her apple down.
" I haven't eaten before, what is it like?"
"Why don't you try it.. here" Lauren said giving her bitten apple to Aiden.
He sniffed the apple curiously while Lauren watched with interest. Aiden quickly took a bite of the apple chewing softly. "Its.. sour and sweet and crunchy… I think I like it." Lauren laughed at Aiden, he looked like a toddler being introduced to new foods.
"Can I cook today? For us?"
"No one has done that for me before" Aiden replied. "That would be nice. Shall we get supplies?"
"Can we buy this?" Aiden said picking up a giant onion. He had transported them to a local farmers market as Lauren insisted it would be the best place to get ingredients "I believe it would taste good"
Lauren put the onion down while trying to hide a smile. She walked between the stalls enjoying the sunny weather. It had been a while since she had been to a farmers market. She loved watching families go buy with their kids sneaking bites of the fresh fruit on display. She loved how full of life these little markets were. She gathered everything she needed and asked Aiden if she could teleport them home.
"I don't think that's possible, although your powers are strengthening I did bring us a far way from the hotel. I feel it's safer to be in various locations than stay constantly in one area."
"Makes sense, are you hungry?"
The aroma of cooking filled the small hotel room. Aiden watched Lauren as she lovingly prepared their meal, he was excited. While she was cooking he made her some notes about certain sigils and spells she could use to protect herself. He wanted her to be able to harness her full power soon, he would feel much more at ease if she were able to protect herself.
Aiden watched Lauren as she slept, he noticed since the demon attack she had been having small nightmares. He couldn't help but admire how rested and beautiful she looked. Her thick wavy hair framed her small face making her appear much younger than she was. She looked so vulnerable, Aiden was glad he was there to protect her. He began to care for her, he felt as if being near her brought out emotions in him.
Lauren was walking aimlessly around a strange town. She was upset. Why would anyone even kidnap me? What am I good for.. nothing. She started kicking a can around when it rolled into an alley way and she ran after it. "Help me, please.. help me .Please someone help me it hurts so much.." Lauren turned around to see a little girl lying on the ground covered in dirt and blood. Help me.. the girl whimpered. Lauren ran towards the injured girl, her heart beating hard in her chest. Something isn't right, she thought as she picked up the small girl and cradled her in her arms. The girl felt cold and limp. Lauren worried that she had been injured beyond repair. The girl became quiet and closed her eyes. Lauren looked at her.. was she dead? When she opened them they were black. The girl wrapped her hands around Laurens throat as Lauren let out muffled screams.
"Lauren, Lauren wake up please" Aiden's voice was riddled with concern his hands gently shaking the sleeping girls shoulders. Laurens eyes flashed open and she began to struggle against Aiden's grip. Lauren looked up at Aiden's grey eyes and immediately calmed down. "Sorry.. I- It was so vivd.. I had a nightmare" Lauren said feeling somewhat embarrassed. Aiden let go of her shoulders, she felt so warm. "What was your nightmare?" Aiden asked hoping he wouldn't be bothering her. "The little girl, the one who the demon took.. I wanted to help her and she attacked me." Lauren said leaning closer to Aiden. "Remember it was not the girl who hurt you, but the demon." Lauren felt bad for the girl, she was so young and a demon had taken her life from her.
Lauren motioned for Aiden to sit next to her on the bed, she figured he seemed uncomfortable just standing there hovering over her. Lauren leaned against Aiden, he was so stiff and rigid. Her eyes became heavy and she succumbed to sleep.
Aiden was uncomfortable. He did not require sleep, he was beginning to feel restless. He did not want to get up and disturb the sleeping Lauren who was leaning against him. She looked so peaceful. He could feel his emotions towards her growing. He knew angels sometimes had relationships with humans, but the subject was rather taboo. He was grateful that Lauren was his responsibility. He had heard stories about humans rejecting the angels that were there to care for them. He had even heard of stories where demons successfully had gotten people with special powers like Lauren to turn against heaven. He knew Lauren would never betray Heaven.. well, he hoped she wouldn't. He looked down at Lauren again brushing his hand against the smooth skin on her shoulder. He wanted to repay her for the meal she had made him, he knew exactly what he was going to do.
