Chapter 05 ~ Common route ~ A new Wardrobe

Leaving the mansion was not something that happened quickly. Getting my strength back and healing took me about three weeks. A woman named 'K' who was a friend of theirs and a witch, helped me recover as well. Assisting also in cutting my hair. She apparently had also washed me during the time I was unconscious and had tended to my wounds back then too.

James was still a bit hesitant about finally letting me leave the safety of the mansion but at the least he became more and more flexible regarding what was being shared with me. On occasion I even added things to the memories from my own much to their relief. Still, my name and many of my memories were not yet recovered. Today however I was going shopping. Not that I mind wearing Sam's discarded shirts when I would go to bed despite them being way to big for me, or the clothes of the original owner of this mansion. The latter seemed to bother the boys though. I understood why. They told me what happened with her and after shopping they would take me to the hospital to meet with her. Despite her being in a coma I noticed how much it meant for them.

It were Erik and Damien who took me out for shopping today though at the mall and we were now sitting in the car. I chuckle at the memory when I first saw the metal thing. I still found it a strange object but it worked so I was not complaining.

I managed to learn a bit about the customs of humans and what to do in case I lost Erik and Damien. My heart raced, feeling both a bit scared and excited.

''We're here Angel.'' Erik said as he had parked the car and turned the key. Wherever we were, it was dark and a strange smell lingered in the air.

''We are now in a parking garage. Here, vehicles are stored by their owners. These parking garages are often at shopping centres or other places of interest where a lot of people visit.'' Damien explained. I nodded in understanding and got out of the car after Erik opened the door for me.

Damien probably read my mind about the parking garage and despite I held my composure the place was suffocating for me. Outside however I did not exactly knew what I saw. There were some people and children. Most of them seemed to be having fun. Others were however in a rush and paid no interest in the shopping area around them. I felt fear and joy at the same time.

''Do not worry Angel, we will protect you.'' Erik assured. ''You are free to pick whatever you like. Do not worry about the expanses.''

Before I could protest Damien spoke. ''No need to feel guilty. Clothes are a necessity and we have jobs. So please enjoy yourself alright? And we will too.''

''I will do my best. It is scary but I feel safe at the same time.'' I reply and look around at the displays where the shops present their best clothes. At the least, I think. I have no recollection of ever having gone shopping before. A few things catch my eyes however and before I knew it I stood at the shop window admiring a cute dress which was yellow. It had a waist belt and the lowerpart was decorated with Autumn leaves and trees.

Due to the reflection in the window I noticed Erik coming up behind me placing a hand on my shoulder. ''Would you like to try that on Princess?'' he asked to which I nodded. Before going in though Damien explained how it would work; which was entering the store and finding the items I liked. Then I'd have to go to the fitting room and change into it. I'd be alone in there but they promised they would stay close.

We ended up being in the store for several hours though. Not only getting the dress but also jeans, skirts and shirts. Only when we got to underwear it was a female shop employee helping me to get things that fitted properly. I admit the clothes humans had looked nice but somehow felt strange to me. Probably because I still was not exactly used to wear proper things.

Erik was the one who paid though and despite they said I should not feel guilty I noticed I did. Damien did too and to comfort me he took a hold of my hand. ''It is alright really.'' he assured to which I nodded softly. Erik joined us holding several large bags and a warm smile on his face. ''Alright, so far so good. You will still need socks and shoes though.'' he said. We headed towards the door only this time I held it open for him, since with both his hands full it would've been hard to open the door himself.

''How about some lunch first.'' Damien suggested. ''Splendid idea brother. We could go to the Pink Lady Café. It should not be so busy at this hour.'' Erik suggested. ''Perhaps we run into Lady K as well.''

''Well she does own the place. Let's go.'' I nodded at the suggestion. Lady K told me a short while back about the café that she ran and that she would love to show it when I was ready. Now would be a good chance for me to thank her.

When there though, we noticed Lady K was not there. I'd have to thank her another time. We took a seat and a girl by the name Naomi took our order. She spoke with Erik and Damien briefly on a familiar basis. After Erik placed an order for all of us named a 'High Tea' whatever that was, Naomi nodded and left.

''A friend?'' I asked the two boys. They shook their head though. ''Not ours, we are more like acquaintances. She is one of Mika's friends.'' Damien explained. ''Does she know about the...'' I did not finish the sentence out loud. Humans in overall did not know about the Abyssal Plains and I was told as well only very few people knew about their true nature.

''She does not know what we are or where we truly came from. It is for the best. Would not want an Angel to come down and baptise them.'' Damien replied. I was glad at the least that he could read minds. ''Such a drastic measure if you ask me.'' Erik added. The conversation about Angels and other worlds was not long but I knew as well that if I wanted to ask more that I could. I just didn't because we were in a public place.

It was nice to sit and relax though while waiting for our lunch. And when it did arrive I could barely believe what I saw. At home we had luxury meals and the boys allowed me to help cook but there were a lot of new things. There were white sandwiches with some kind of white spread and something red and sweet on them. Small tarts, fruit, cream and small buns. Also something brown Erik explained to be chocolate. It came in various versions though. Two pots of tea were put on the table as well with the words that they could be refilled whenever we wanted. ''So... this is a High Tea.'' I said more as a statement. ''Correct my sweet eavesdropper.'' Erik replied with a wink. ''Both sweet and savory bites are served with a High Tea. Sandwiches, small confectioneries, fruit with cream but also variations of bread. These for example are scones.'' He took one of the buns and sliced it open, deciding to copy him. He topped his with marmelade and cream and took a bite. ''Good as always.'' he said after swallowing his first bite.

During the lunch Erik and Damien explained me more about the delicious treats that we were having. Even had a laugh when Damien had a bit of cream on his face which I wiped away with a kerchief.

After lunch we went to a shoe store. We did not spend as much time there as in the clothing store but I found a pair of low black shoes which Erik explained could be worn casual or with one of the fancier sets of clothes we got, a pair of sneakers for under the jeans and nice long brown boots. The store also sold socks fortunately. Not that I did not enjoy myself but as the day went by I felt myself getting more tired. Something both Erik and Damien noticed. ''I think you had enough for today.'' Damien said after Erik returned when he finished paying again.

''Still. I wish every day could be like this. I enjoyed myself. Thank you both.'' I gave the two men a tired but well meant smile.

''The pleasure was all ours. '' Damien assured. ''I actually have not seen you without a smile today.''

''I agree with my little brother here. But we can go back home if you want. We can introduce you to Mika another time.'' Erik suggested.

''No no I'd love to meet her. I know how much it means to you. I'll just go to bed a bit earlier tonight. Please. Take me to her?'' I did not know exactly where it came from but was glad when the boys nodded.

The bags were divided between the three of us and after putting them all in the car we headed to the hospital.
