Chapter Eight - First Dates

IT HAD BEEN A FEW WEEKS since she last saw Carlisle, she was pissed at Draco and had failed to even speak to her twin. Poor Harry was caught between the two as neither one relented in apologising. She had yet to talk to Carlisle personally, the vampire aware of the tension he brought the Malfoy twins, had only spoken through calls and texts. It was Saturday night - the night of their first date, Nova had already packed her dress, makeup and shoes. Rosalie and Alice had insisted that she get ready at their house when they barrelled through her door after school last week. She had felt it all had been a dream and when the pair of vampire teens had almost broken her door she realised it wasn't.

"Carlisle and Draco end up in a fight- Charlie gets hurt" Alice explained quickly that day - Nova finally realised that the teen had had a vision when she decided to get ready at home. Draco had refused point blank even to see the vampires. So here she was waiting for the two teenagers to pick her up. She sighed again, pacing as she peered at the clock. It was thirty seconds to two - Alice stated to be ready at two o'clock. Just as her clock chimed two, her doorbell rang, and she grabbed her dress bag, a small suitcase which held her hair makeup, shoes and overnight things- Alice insisted - they were to have a sleepover after. 

Opening her front door she was surprised to see Carlisle there instead of Alice but she was happy. Happy it was him. beaming at him she passed him her bags so she could lock up. 

"Alice had a shopping emergency" Carlisle chimed rolling his eyes slightly Nova giggled as she closed and locked her door.  "She'll be there when we arrive...but I thought we could go for coffee again?"

"That doesn't surprise me" She commented off-hand "And I'd love to" The pair made their way to his car, Carlisle opening her door,  allowed her to settle in the passenger side and then manoeuvring her things in the back before heading to the driver side. The car was warm, the familiar scent of Carlisle filling her nostrils as he climbed in, starting the engine as she buckled up. 

"What do I smell like?" She commented as they pulled away from her home. "I mean scent-wise?"

Carlisle smiled softly "Home" he muttered but Nova missed it, he peered at her his eyes ranking over her. She wore a simple oversized tanned-coloured sweater and black knee-high boots. Her hair pulled back in a bun.  "Like berries from your shampoo," he comments "but your blood, is sweet - but there is almost a tangy sour after scent" Nova smiled softly. 

"That would be my magic" she explained softly "Hermione and I fully believe it is a protection almost, Our Magical Cores are like our souls so speak" 

"Do you believe in God?" he asked her and she cocked her head to the side as they drove - to Cora's Nova recognised the route. 

"You are talking to a witch- who went to a school full of ghosts" Nova commented with a slight raise of her eyebrow, but she did look to Carlisle and gave her honest opinion "I believe there is a heaven and hell" she commented "for those that don't have any unfinished business, however, no, I believe in magic and science's, things I can see and feel" Carlisle nodded "What about you?"

"I used to think that God did exist along with heaven and hell, I was taught to hunt people like you, like me and to an extent I believe it is why I can not believe in hunting humans, Edward believes we have lost our souls, and that we are damned to an eternity of hell" Carlisle's voice was soft the had long since pulled in to the diner but neither one rushing to exit the warmth of the car.
