GUARDIAN|M.LANGDON

PART 8|PORK

-THE FLASHBACK, THREE YEARS AGO-

A/N for this bit, let's pretend New Orleans is close to california k? Thanks ly bye

I sat down at the table with the witches

It was a normal day, Zoe was one of the older students, and teaching the newer ones new spells

I watched simply, I hadn't had the need to learn

I was an angel after all, they're gifts practically came from us, born of old and the same

I was happy to be here though, like all angels at one point they had to be a guardian, who for, we don't know

But we know when we see it- or I guess, feel

I was a special case though, blessed with extreme gifts of herbalism, empathy and general gifts of god- not to be too showy

Im Eve, the first angel

It took a while for the witches to believe me, but Cordelia sensed I was different, especially since the Bible and it's stories has been so twisted through the years

Like seriously, Adam's name is still before me? And I wasn't the first 'woman', that title belonged to Lilith- I was there to keep my eyes on them

So, a bit twisted

Anyway, it's been a couple of months and, hey, I'm happy here, unsure of my purpose yet but, I enjoy it

I walk absentmindedly out of the practice room and find Cordelia making her way towards me, a motherly aura surrounding her

She never had kids, i knew she wanted them so badly too, so she adored her students with every fiber of her body, it's no surprise we had a close bond

"Delia" I smile as I put my hands in front of me, everyone else wore black, but I adorned a white dress

I often did wear black, but sometimes to differentiate I'd wear white, to show I wasn't a full member of the coven

"Evelyn, my angel, I have a task for you" She hands me a note, mostly filled with new herbs and seeds and...

"Pork?" I smile at her

Evelyn was my 'gifted' name, after everything that happened...
I didn't want to be reminded again

"I need you to go to California, I'll pay for your train, there's an important woman there I need you to see, just tell her 'Mori' and she'll get you what I need, and of course the pork" she laughs

"I thought it would be nice to have a dinner in a few days, all my girls together" she grabs my hands and holds them, before bringing me into a hug

"Of course cordelia, anything for you" and I make my way out- to the wonderful world of transport and trains
For an angel, I feel pretty human here most the time, or at least, I did human things

At last, to California I go

-TIME SKIP-

I hum as I make my way out of the shop, taking a deep breath
I had arrived to California not too long ago already going to several stores on my checklist, as well as picking up other supplies for the coven as well, and maybe a few trinkets for myself

I had seen the woman cordelia spoke of, she gave me what I needed, quite an interesting character to say the least

Now it was time to get the pork, at the butchers

I make my way there slowly, enjoying the weather and the atmosphere, I had often gone outside to enjoy the weather, but I hardly ever see people, it was strangely comforting

Humans to me were always so beautiful at just how fragile they are, their forever just isn't that long,
if only things had been different

I shudder thinking about it, my past, and I make my way on, forgive and forget right?

I make my way into the butchers, immediately noticing two other people, I don't exactly try to look at them, instead planning to avoid them, but something pulls me to them

I try to shake it off but it's almost unbearable, as I walk away I manage to feel less overwhelmed, to the point I could actually think straight

What in the heaven was that?
I'd never felt anything so... powerful, in my life

I let out a sigh trying to find the best piece of pork in the shop, and trying to distract myself, but it doesn't take long before I'm beginning to feel the same overwhelming feeling once more

I could almost sense it coming closer, something was coming

Or rather, someone

I almost give myself a heart attack when the person arrives only a few steps away from me, and I look at them directly, almost hurting me

He was tall, golden hair and striking blue eyes looking into my own, not to mention his gorgeous features, he was looking at me, his arms folded with furrowed brows

He looked... perfect, he was perfect- Ive never seen anyone like him before

We both stared at eachother for a second longer- I couldn't pull my eyes away from him, my mouth was agape, I'm unable to register what I'm feeling
But I can't help but wonder if he feels it to?
I wanted to know so much about him, and thus my curiosity was satisfied slightly, as I felt his aura

Fear, anger, danger
Loneliness
That's all that radiated from him, everything I would never have expected from this beautiful, serene being, but yet throughout all these unbearable, dangerous feelings
I felt comfortable, and at ease in his whirlwind of emotions

He's the first to speak, breaking the silence and my analysis
"What are you?" He asked me calmly, he looked at me confused, as was I

I'm shocked by his question- how does he know? without a beat I reply back in a soft, almost frightened voice

"I could ask you the same question"
