By My Side (Nabrina AU)

Chapter 15

"I do like the blood and gore of it all babe, but, zombies just don't make sense to me," Nick stated. They were walking home from their movie marathon at Harvey's. They were dissecting the movie they just watched. Normally, the discussions came after the movie and it would've involved all of her friends, but since the movie was cut short, she was talking about it with Nick.

She chuckled. "That's probably because they're not real. Vampires and werewolves do, as well as angels and demons, but not zombies." She paused. "As far as we know,'' she added.

He laughed. "I bet you'd love to meet one if they're real."

"Hmmm. True, just to prove all those theories people have on them." She smirked, then added, "It would be nice to see a werewolf though, now that I've already seen a vampire and an angel."

He arched a brow at her. "Vampire?"

She nodded. "It was during the challenge of the Unholy Regalia." She said simply, she didn't feel the need to recall the whole story, plus, it wasn't an experience she wanted to remember.

He gave her a surprised look, "There you go again." Then she gave him a questioning look. "You're just so full of surprises, aren't you?" He pulled her closer to him and gave her a peck on the lips.

Her eyes were sparkling when they separated. "Better keep up, Scratch." She pulled away from him playfully but entwined their hands.

"Oh, I try very hard, Spellman. But, I haven't actually seen a vampire. They are known to be few of them left. At least, only a few of their coven's still exist, hence the rarity."

"Okay, nerd." She giggled, she really did like it whenever he'd go nerdy on her.

"Oh I know I'm not the only one." He pulled her to him and he placed his arms around her middle. Her arms rested on his chest as they stopped walking and cuddled.

"Well, from what I can tell, they're not very nice."

He laughed. "They're not supposed to be. Hang on, you've met a werewolf before. My familiar was a kind of werewolf."

"Oh yeah. Almost forgot about that. Just that when werewolves come up, I always get this image in my head of the picture from my book, Little Red Riding Hood. I guess I do see the similarities now."

He laughed at this again and it made her feel blissful. She knew that he was feeling a lot better since their talk last night. He didn't even have a nightmare and he stopped trying to avoid her. They've only been apart when he went to the Academy for his translating duties. She almost came with him if not for Roz, asking her to come over to pick the movies that they'd be watching. It was an excuse, of course. They mostly talked about their boys, and how happy they were that Theo and Robin seemed to be together again. She also shared where she and Nick are at, updating her since their talk from their cheerleading practice.

Her hands went up to his nape. "Kinda reminds me how we dressed up during Lupercalia. I was wearing a red cape and you were..." she said in a playful tone.

"...the big bad wolf." He finished, smirking.

"You know the story." She was surprised.

"Yeah well, I did see the book in your room and I got curious."

She suddenly got an idea. She released herself from Nick's arm and walked a few steps away then she turned back to him.

"Grandmother dear!" she said, while she pretended to be shocked. "What big arms you have!"

He chuckled then cleared his throat and put on a serious face. "The better to embrace you, my child." He responded while trying to put his arms around her.
