Aururum & Lillian
Aururum looked up when she walked in and smiled '
She really is... an angel.. Maybe a different kind of angel... but an angel none the less.' He thought to himself. It was then she tried to get him pumped up "
No doubt I will.. I have no idea what I am doing." He said to her. She called him over and he sat down next to her. That was when she handed him the control and he took it. He held it upside down before she corrected him and began to give him the directions on how to use such a whimsical device. That was when she began to game on the easiest level. He spent the first two minutes spinning in circles and running into walls.
Lily was laughing as the brave angel kept running himself into a wall. "
No no go that way! Shoot him! No no no not me!!" She said in between her fits of laughter. "
Wow I've never met anyone who is worse at video games!" She said with a smile at him. Watching his confused look she sighed contently. '
He's so cute.. ' She thought to herself as he kept spinning in a circle. "
Here, wait" She said as she leaned over and started helping him aim and shoot. "
like this"
Aururum looked at the screen and felt his heart sinking as he heard her protests and feeble attempts at guiding him correctly. He took a deep breath and lowered his head in defeat. That was when she leaned over and began to help her. With her gently and caring guidance he began to learn at a pace that would even surprise her. It was a slow improvement but no longer was he shooting her or running into walls any long. He smiled at her "
Thank you.. I still feel like a failure but at least knowing that I am improving makes me feel alittle better about myself." He said before refocusing on what was going on in front of him.
Lily watched proudly as he began to understand the game better and better. "
Look at you! Your a pro already!" She said with a kiss on his cheeks.
"You're doing so well! You're not at all a failure Aururum." She said with a smile. '
He's so cute when he is flustered. It's nice being able to spend time with him.. without the whole demons trying to destroy me thing..' This made her pause the game and look at her protector. "
Hey Aururum? Is there anything I should know about the whole demon fighting thing?"
Aururum looked over when he was kissed on the cheek and smiled "
Well, Thank you lily... That means a lot to me. It really does." He said with a bigger smile. He gently nudged her before she asked him about demons. His mood seemed to change slightly and he took a deep breath. "
Well, as you can tell I am not foreigner to battling demons. I consider myself the last of the 'Heavies'. The ancients were considered the 'Heavies' of the angel's forces. There are no more of my kind left. We were some of the first... children of god himself at the dawn of creation. We fought hard and many of us died early as we never thought we could die. We were wrong... never underestimate the demons. Never let them get inside of your head. I have not yet met a demon I could trust and I do not think I will." he said with a sigh. "
My fights have left my chest scarred from weapons that even my angelic blood wont heal." He said solemnly.
Lily's expression changed from her smile to a serious look as she took in the information. When she finally spoke she said in a soft voice "
I guess I don't understand why my dad wanted me to have this duty now.. I don't know anything about demons and angels and fighting.. Why would anyone make a deal with a demon anyway? Like were people back then that stupid? At least my great great great great great.. well yeah my ancestors made a deal with an angel." She said as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "
I won't let them win Aururum.. I'll fight to the death if I have too.." She said softly as the two remained still staring at the paused game on the screen.
Aururum looked at her and smiled "
That.. Lily is why I am here for you. We no matter how weird it may seem are destined to be a pair. If you wish.. we can go out somewhere and I can begin showing you how to fight. As you can guess.. I know more than my fair share when it comes to fighting." He said and put a hand on her shoulder "
You need not worry about yourself. I will die before I let any demonic entity get close to you again. That issue at the party.. I failed and I let it.. nearly touch you. I felt your unease and I hesitated because of waiting for Michael to make the fist move." He said before putting the controller down. "
What do you want to know? You taught me a lot.. and still are. It is only right I do the same thing." He said to her. The heat radiating off him was almost soothing and relaxing.
Lily shurgged "
I just.. I've never felt a presences that evil near me before.. I'm a big tough girl though.. I can handle it.. I think" She said as she looked up at him. "
Does that mean I get to fly AND sneak out of the house? Let's go!" She said as she hopped up and looked at him "
Turn around so I can change" She said, not waiting for him before stripping her dress off and replacing it with a pair of old jeans and a t-shirt and jacket. "
Mkay! Let's hurry" She said as she unlocked her window and pushed it up. "
After you"
Aururum stares at her confused for several seconds. '
She is really... really gun-ho about this... She is really somthing.' He thought to himself as she suddenly began to change before he had a chance to look away. He blushed lightly but when she turned around he coughed and his face went back to its normal color. "
Of course.. now... I really dont know how I will get my wings out of your window.. I have an idea.." He said and shimmied himself out the window and with one hand lowered himself out the window. His strength was apparent as he hung there without an issue. "
Well... climb down and cling onto my chest I guess.. unless you want me to drop down and catch you."
"
Ahahahaha You're hilarious!" She said sarcastically as she watched his squeeze out her window. She placed both her feet on the bottom of the window and wrapped her arms around. "
Ok now steady.." She said as she leaps into his arms. "
Eeek! Ok that was a lot scarier then I thought it would be!" She said as she clutched onto his neck.
Aururum easily caught her and wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling any farther. His wings burst into fire immediately and he kicked off the wall. He took off up into the air and he began to laugh "
I have never done that before.. I mean I have gone out many doors and other things.. but never anything like that." He said with a big smile. "
No need to be afraid now. I have you." He said to her as he began a steady flight towards a isolate part where they wouldn't be bothered by anyone.
Lily laughed as he kicked off the wall and they started off towards the horizon. "
Weeee!" She said as she let the wind blow though her brown hair. "
Hey this is really fun!" She said as she let her one arm hang and then pretended to be an airplane. "
Woohhhh!" She yelled before bursting into a ball of bubbly laughter. "
Do you always feel like this when you fly?" She wondered aloud as they were flying steadily on pace. She watched the people below and wondered what exactly she had gotten herself into.
Aururum looked down at her in his arms with a smile. In his angelic form he towered over her at a imposing near 16 Feet. "
It is amazing.. isn't it. I've done it so much I never really took the time to relish in it as much as I had in the past when I was younger." He said to her.
"To think.. There are so few of us left.. I am the grandfather to them all.... I hate this." He said with a sigh. "
Its not my fault I am good at what I do!" He said annoyed. He then took a deep breath "
Of Course... If I did then I never would have met you or your family." He said before he touched down in a field far out in the country. He let got of her as he stepped back and exploded into his true angelic form. The Air around him cracked and was sucked inwards before fire erupted and them imploded in. He looked more like a demon in this form. "
Now.. I know you will say this looks demonic.. let me tell you.. things were different almost 3 thousand years ago. There was no divine form... When Lucifer still walked among us as an Angel." He said slowly.
Lily watched with wide eyes as her angel turned well.. Very demonic looking. "
Wow.. Fire demon much?" She asked teasingly as she stretched her arms. "
Ok! What's first?"
Aururum smiled "
Like I said.. things were different back then. It was much more.. dark. Of course as an angel you are filled with light. I was just.. inflicted with things in my past that left its mark. I've fought many thousands of demons during my existence... now! I want you to try focusing on a weapon... I will read that weapon and allow you to have it form in your hand. From then on.. I will begin your training." He said to her before crouching down. That was then he heard the message from Michel. He sighed before responding "
I am currently teaching Lillian how to fight. Is it possible for me to sit this one out. She has already had contact with A demon and this is much needed." He said to Michel through a telepathic link.
