The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Fourteen

Being told I could accompany Dean to grab some supplies helped me relax. He assured me I wouldn't need to use me power which I knew I would but not the power he knows about but that's not why I was relaxing. The thought of getting out off here and getting him out of my head was worth every peny of being nervous and I was excited to be alone with Dean again.

It was over whelming being in such close proxiemty to Dean, he was one of the leaders. The people, we as followers, go for to get answers. I hated thinking of myself as a follower but in this case and all my life i had been. I was easily manipulated by him.. But something was different with the rebellion, I wanted to help them. I wanted to let them see me. The real me. Even if they hated me afterwards.

Dean opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it again his hand tightening on the wheel as I watched his with curiosity. Realising that he wasn't going to speak I reluctantly tore my gaze away and looked at the people having a normal life. What we are all missing out on because of The Faculty.

We walled into the store using the same cover up as last time. Luckily for me, this was a new store. A new one where we'd be recognised in the future if he came in without me. The Angel by his side people would say. My grip on his bicept tightened at the thought but I quickly composed myself when I realized he felt that.

We put everything we thought we needed in the cart including more blankets and pillows. People were going to be ecstatic, everyone wanted it to seem normal. Like the life they had before all this. We were getting closer and closer to having enough blankets. More were freeing up as couples doubled up, we were also getting more people but with the rate we were going. They'd be provided for.

My whole body stopped as I saw the back of him. He was here. My hand dropped from Dean, my eyes fixated on him. It was like an unknown force was forcing me to stare to try to gain his attention when deep down I wanted to run out of here and as far away as I could get. My legs stayed glued in the position I was in. My hands twitched as I fought the urge to walk over to him.

Dean had walked into my sight. Breaking the eye contact cutting off whatever was just happening. I place my hands on his chest to steady myself. He had just been here. Was he looking for me and Leo? Why? I thought I escaped and here I was, only meters away. I looked up to see Dean stating. No emotions in his eyes, I could only tell that he was analysing my features.

I know I should have moved away but I felt my hand to up to his scar and trace it, like I had wanted to do before. He flinched slightly underneath which caused me to bring my hand up to his face. I smile whilst tilting my head to the side. It was not to try to look for him, the only thing I could think about was Dean. This marvellous man. He edges himself forward his hands still by his side, I calmly look down at them but when I look up his face is very close. I bring my other hand to his chest in an attempt to put some space between us but this only caused him to make an unmakeable sound which stopped me right in my tracks. I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. My hand went from his face, traced his scar a little but settled on his chest.

"Mummy look at the cute couple." I had to bite my lip to stop me saying that we weren't. The little girls voice made him snap of if as he continued shopping. I followed like a lost dog wanting attention. I turned to see the little girl getting a stern telling off. I assumed her mother was telling her to not get involved with other people's business.

When we got to the checkout I paused picking an okay guy to go with, I could see he had no ring. I did not want my power to mess up a happy marriage. I make a signal for Dean to cover me from the camera he does so with a confused look written on his face.

Shrugging what had happened between us out of my mind i turned to the person attending our stocks. Whenever he looked, i would smile at him showing him how angelic I looked. I know my eyes flashed pink as the man was instantly drawn to them however, did not mention them. As he continued with our supplies, he kept looking at me. I made sure I always looked angelic. Fluttering my eyelashes at him, puckering my lips and smiling. All the while tilting my head so subtately for my eyes to flash pink.

When he was finished and bagged, I went to finish the job. Dean stayed in his position blocking the cameras. I grabbed the man's chin delicately and my eyes flashed pink this time staying pink a little longer as I gave him the instructions.

"You're going to let us leave and say we paid. And then going to erase the footage of us ever being near or in the store. Understood pumpkin."

The man nodded instantly as I called him a good boy. Before leaving I gave him a kiss on the cheek my eyes still pink. As I began to walk away Dean following closely I could feel it begin to fade and that's why I let myself walk with him. I did not want him to know just yet about my other power. Just has I walked out the door I felt the urge to turn around and there he was, staring straight at me with pride wretched on his face.
