The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Seven

The crash caused me to flinch away from him backing into the window and it caused him to take several steps away. My eyes trailed to the glass which had been shattered by the woman who had dropped them. The woman was staring at him with a look. She seemed upset. I looked back to him his gaze still on me, he whispered a 'wait here' to me as he took the girl away.

Sitting here was exhausting. Especially as my mind was drafting up conclusions of what he could want or need from me. I stayed exactly where i was, my eyes on the floor as i waited. I knew something must be up as that girl looked so upset at what she had seen. I smiled when i saw him enter the room ignoring the smashed glass. He kept his distance this time which i didn't blame him for. He knelt down as it was clear i wasn't going to stand up for what he was going to say.

"I never introduced myself on the tour," He stated. "My names Dean. I'm on the leaders here. As you obviously have gifts and are staying with us and have agreed to help. We may call on you to help us with things. That okay?" I nodded my head in reply. I did not mind helping out. There was much i could help with, if i told them about my other powers but it wasn't considered normal for us to have more than one power. Which is why only Leo knew. I smiled as he registered that i would help when needed and when his smile disappeared when he realised he had no reason to talk to me anymore.

"I'll be happy to help even if you think i'm not needed." I stated before he left the room. "I'm more powerful than you know Dean."

Leo had dragged me on a mission with him as he knew all my powers and knew it'd be an easy job. He had to gain supplies which sadly, meant stealing from a store. We grabbed a shopping cart and made it look like we were together as we did our shopping. Leo had a weird way of doing jobs. If he did not have a character to play, he'd mess up and end up standing out. So having a character helped him keep his cool and i think secretly he wanted me to tell people that we were together. I smiled at him as i added things to the cart. It was a bad thing we were doing but it helped the people in need. We walked down isle after isle putting boxes off cereal and ready made meals and drinks into the cart. We got to the isle full of blankets and this is where it'll look weird. We took everything they had to offer. My blue eyes scanned the people on the tills before they settled on the man on the end, it was clear that he was in need of feeling love and my power helped him as well as us. Leo smiled at me in encouragement, he knew i hate this power and knew it was a weird one to have because i never knew if i was actually using it or not. So when somebody said they liked me, i could never believe them because of this stupid power.

When in front of the man i smiled gaining his attention. He carried on scanning our things as i carried on smiling and every now and again tilting my head. My eyes also kept flashing pink. Leo made sure nobody bothered us and that i could not be seen doing this on the camera. I smiled as we made eye contact again and my eyes flashed pink again, he had finished all our shopping and Leo was working on getting it out of the store whilst i covered out back. I made it look like i was paying. I moved closer to the man on the till. I place my hand on his, like i was giving him money. When my hand was on his my eyes stayed pink.

"You're letting me go," My Angelic voice purred to keep in check. "And you're removing the security footage of us coming in, ." He nodded in agreement and i kissed his cheek to make sure he followed through with what i instructed.
