The New Saviors 2.0

It was hard to doze off at first.. His mind was plagued with what was to come in the morning.. If only Aidan was able to freeze time and prevent Alexandria's inevitable death. Although his dreams did not help to settle his anxiety. It was Regina.. She had come back to infest his dream and ensure that he was still aware of his purpose. Over and over again, he watched himself pull an innocent Alexandria's heart and crush it in his hand. No matter how hard he tried to wake up, Regina was intent on making sure he knew what he had to do.

However, he awoke to a sudden disruptive movement. Slowly, Aidan opened his eyes and sat u[, confused as to what had happened. He took a couple of seconds to gather himself before examining the room. His eyes landed on a frightened Alexandria, who looked as if she had seen a ghost. Without a thought, he collapsed back on the bed. "Nightmare?" he questioned, sleep still evident in his voice. Aidan felt strangely cold, and he attempted to wrap himself further in the covers.

He didn't want to get up, and he was in no rush too. "Get up! You have business to take care of!" The voice scared him awake, and he jolted up with a start. For a moment, he had forgotten all about the curse, the murder, and Regina. He scanned the room once again, trying to convince himself that yesterday hadn't happened. "H-how did you sleep?" Aidan asked, a certain amount of nervousness seeping into his voice.
 
Her heart was pounding in her chest, hoping and praying that Aidan was in such a deep sleep that he wouldn't have even noticed that they were ever cuddled up together like two love stricken teenagers. Though when he woke up she froze, fear that he would possibly yell at her. "Y-yeah." She muttered, relief flooding through her veins that he didn't seem too upset, too tired to really even process anything. She moved back onto the bed to lay down and close her eyes for a bit more sleep until he deemed it was time to go. Though his own sudden movements caused her to jump back a bit.

It seems that they were both pretty jumpy early in the morning. "It was uh…it was fine.' She nervously replied, sensing the nervousness in his own voice. Did he actually know that they slept so close together, cuddled up in each others arms? That was the whole reason she wanted the pillows there, to prevent anything of that sort. "What about you?" There was a small ache to lay back down on the bed and go to sleep with his arm wrapped around her.

It was the most protected she had ever felt in a long time, the most comfortable and dare she even say cared for. If she could Alexandria would throw their plans to go to Storybrooke out the window, call room service again and spend the whole time here in this shabby little hotel with Aidan, where the world couldn't' touch them. Where they could order more pillows and blankets, and create pillow forts, or just sit and talk about nothing. It was such a shame last night had to end.
 
It seemed the both of them had experienced their own nightmares. Aidan wondered what hers could have consisted of, and he doubted it had anything to do with her heart being ripped out."Well, you wanna talk about it?" he inquired, although he wasn't going to push the subject if Alexandria hadn't wanted him to.. He didn't want that conversation to somehow transition into his own nightmare.. It would be best just to be polite and listen.

Aidan nodded, trying to be as understanding as possible. He had assumed her nervousness was a result of a bad dream, and he wished he could help ease her anxiety. If only he could comfort her and make her forget the whole thing. "Good, I'm glad," he responded, dropping the subject. "You will need to get back on the road soon." "We'll need to get back on the road soon," Aidan repeated, getting up from the bed. He stretched before moving around to gather their things.

"C'mon we'll get you some breakfast and take your mind off of the nightmare, okay?" Aidan attempted to console her, giving her a gentle smile. This had pleased Regina, as she saw it as a sign that Alexandria had become a bit more trusting of Aidan. "So, you've been busy while I was gone." Aidan ignored her. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction of knowing that he had successfully befriended Alexandria.. Nor did he want her to know that he had done so, without considering the benefits to his mission.
 
It wasn't a nightmare. It was the fact that they were cuddled up like lovers a couple moments ago and she actually had liked the feeling of his arm draped across her, as if it belonged there. "It was just something dealing with the past." She offered him, hoping that he wouldn't press too much on the subject. Alex liked to think that she would eventually tell him of the rough relationship she had in the past, and the toughness her mother bestowed upon her, but today wasn't one of those days.

The redheaded female nodded her head when he stated that they would need to get back on the road. She didn't dare ask if they could stay just a bit longer, no matter how badly she may want to, it didn't quite seem like an option right now. "Breakfast sounds nice." She returned the small smile, moving to stretch out her limbs and stifle a small yawn. Honestly though she wasn't a big breakfast eater, that was just who she had always been.

If she didn't eat breakfast that was fine by her, if she did it was usually just a piece of fruit or some yogurt, maybe even a bowl of cereal. It wasn't anything too big. That was just how it had always been growing up, breakfast never really appealed to her and sometimes if she was busy enough, neither did lunch. Moving over to her bag she grabbed her toothbrush and toothpaste before heading to the bathroom to brush her teeth. "how long do you think it'll take to get to Storybrooke?" She questioned from the small area.
 
Aidan nodded, in understanding. He knew too much about a haunting past to try and convince Alexandria to confront hers. It wasn't like he was expecting a big confession about all the bad shit that had went down in her past. And ultimately, Aidan felt as though that had been none of his business. She's come and confide to him if she needed, but there was no reason to push her to do so. "No, I get it. Shit can suck," Aidan sympathized, offering the red head a gentle smile.

His hands moved to begin making the bed, before realizing that they were staying in a hotel.. Even if he decided to make the bed, the sheets would just be torn away to be washed. It bothered Aidan, but he patted the sheets before walking away to find something else to do. The room was so messy and it irked him. He had always been meticulous about these types of things and preferred for everything to be organized, neat, and clean. It was Aidan's special way of trying to find a little bit of control in a world where everything had been taken away from him. "Breakfast will just waste more time."

Well, she needs to eat unless you want her to starve to death. Aidan snapped at Regina, and he couldn't help but frown. He had been up for just a couple of minutes and he was already sick of his mother. Alexandria's voice pulled him out of his thoughts and back into his semi-sane reality. "Not too long but long enough," Aidan speculated. He wasn't quite sure what the exact timeline was, but he was only ordered to get her to Storybrooke before her birthday. "We'll see if they have any waffles downstairs or something," Aidan suggested, before following her into the bathroom.

Aidan was a little obsessed with dental hygiene.. And hygiene in general. He just liked to be thorough, even if that meant scrubbing an imaginary speck of dirt.

Alexandria was glad that Aidan seemed to get it. It was just another tiny reminder that the two seemed more alike than she ever thought they would be considering that they had both ended up leading such vastly different lives. She knew her thanks would just fall upon deaf ears for a reason she had no idea why, so instead she just gave a small appreciative smile. It was nice to have someone who somewhat understood her, didn't pressure her and let her take her time.

"That is the most vague answer I have ever heard." She teased as she stepped into the bathroom with her things. She got her toothbrush ready and started to brush her teeth, glancing over at Aidan when he came in. Her mind wandered back to what the town could look like. It kind of how a cute name and so she wondered if the town itself was cute, with little charm. It was going to be interesting to say the least. Alex's mind wandered back to Aidan's warnings from the night before, her stomach twisting into knots. If there were people that didn't want her there, then that had to mean they knew something about the curse. That or they just really hated newcomers.

Finishing with her teeth, she spit into the sink, making sure it was clean before heading back out to the room to brush her hair and pack up her things. There was a part of her that was sad they were leaving so soon, afraid that once they were back on the road, the little moment and fun times that they shared would disappear. Almost as if they never happened. Alex seriously hoped not. She was enjoying getting to know Aidan, to joke with him and tease. The idea of going back to arguing and bickering, with threats of rolling out the car and giving the silent treatment didn't really appeal to her.

Letting out a long sigh she moved to pick up the pillows from her failed pillow wall and placed them on the bed, straightening out the room a bit. [/fieldbox]

Aidan waited patiently for Alexandria to finish before he started his simple morning routine. His mind began to wander as he began to mentally prepare for the upcoming events of the day. The distance they needed to travel was enormous and the late start of the day had set them off schedule. It was crucial, for whatever reason, to be punctual and Aidan was worried their antics the night before had jeopardized his mission. If anything, he'd just keep driving as Alexandria slept in the car. His rest wasn't on the high on his list of priorities.

A goofy smile broke through his tense exterior and his mind began to relax. Aidan shrugged, as he watched Alexandria enter the bathroom. "That was kind of the point. Don't want any expectations as to when we'll arrive," he explained. Besides, it was hard to, pinpoint how long it'd take to get to Storybrooke. Aidan couldn't account for all the unexpected stops or obstacles in the road, so he'd decided not to stress himself out with any type of plan.

It felt relatively easy, working around Alexandria to get ready for the day. It was as if they had done this their entire lives. They talked and joked while getting ready, and Aidan busied himself with cleaning or thinking as Alexandria was doing other things. After his teeth were brushed, Aidan finally walked out of the bathroom. While the morning had started out hectic, Aidan was slowly adjusting back to normal. "You ready to go?" he asked, picking up his backpack that contained most of his owned items.

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

The goofy smile caused Alexandria's heart to melt and she smiled faintly, giving a playful roll of her eyes. It didn't matter to her when they arrived, it gave her more time to try and come up for a game plan. She could easily just state that she was there passing by, admiring a cute and tiny quaint little town. Unless it wasn't tiny or anything of that sort, but with a name like Storybrooke she just kind of assumed. The more Alex thought about arriving too, the more nervous she caught and she had to silently tell herself to clam her nerves. It was going to be okay, worst comes to worse, she doesn't solve it and isn't really the savior.

Her routine easily blended in with Aidan's, almost as if they had been living together since they could remember. He easily maneuvered around her, and they just talked and joked. It was calming. Once everything was said and done, Alex and finished packing her bag and she glanced over at the blond haired male. "Ready as I'll ever be." She laughed faintly as she picked up her own bag and shouldered it, moving to the door. Back out to the real word.

As soon as she stepped out into the threshold, last night already started to feel more and more like a dream, something that her mind had conjured up in order to put her to sleep. She was so tempted to race back in, bury herself under the covers and just stay there with Aidan. "Alright, next stop; Storybrooke!" She gave him a goofy smile of her own and she started down the hallway, her mind bouncing with questions as they headed down to the lobby.

Aidan could only hope that Alexandria would somehow find a way to fix everything before he had to kill her.. And it would be even harder to warn Alexandria with Regina in his head for the rest of the day. Their night of mischief was practically a different universe now that he had to constantly monitor every thing he said or did. There would be no sly clues as to the dangers facing Alexandria or sentimental moments that seemed too genuine to Regina. Aidan had to act as her mindless drone, following her every command.

So when Aidan had initially planned on breakfast, Regina forced him to do otherwise. He tried to argue back, but she wouldn't allow him to. Too much was at stake. She kept repeating, urging him to rush them back on the road. As much as Aidan wanted to tell Regina off and fight off her control over him, he wasn't in the mood for any literal heartache.. He could never understand how she was able to drive him to his knees with his chest pain, but he understood that it was better to just follow her orders.

The yellow buggy seemed outlandish compared to the rest of the sketchy area. However, it was rough looking enough not to be broken into, much to Aidan's approval. His brow furrowed, focusing on keeping a stern look on his face. Now was not the time for playful banter or jokes, as much as Aidan had enjoyed them. He couldn't afford exposing his secret plan to Regina and killing them both. "Prepare yourself for the longest drive you have ever experienced, Alex," Aidan said lightly, attempting to smoothly transition into seriousness.

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

The initial plan of breakfast seemed to have been swept to the side and Alex couldn't help but wonder if Aidan was suddenly in a bad mood. Maybe he didn't want to go to storybrooke? Or maybe he had realized that let night was a complete waste of his time and he wished he could take it all back? She didn't know and as of right now she didn't want to know. She wanted to stay in the little bliss that she had when they were up late at night just talking about everything they could thing of that would help them fall asleep.

Things already seemed so different from the night before, almost as if it was a hazy dream and Alexandria couldn't help but inwardly sigh. She was kidding herself thinking that they were going to be different around each other, as if something meant anything. It seemed that both were just waving a right peace flag in the hopes of somewhat getting along for the night. Which worked, the redheaded female couldn't' remember the last time she had that much fun, building forts and joking around without worrying or wounding someone else's pride. It was up lifting.

Upon hearing his comment she smiled faintly, eyes trailing over to the buggy. "I hope this trip at least involves a stop for lunch come time, because I'm pretty sure I'll be hungry." She joked lightly, running a hand through her hair. Honestly she wasn't too sure. Sometimes if she didn't have breakfast it was easy to ignore that she was hungry until she actually started eating; the realization dawning on her then. Other times she was hungry as she knew it. There was nothing wrong with her in that aspect, it was simply how she worked and the habit she had gotten into.

Slowly, Aidan shifted back into the joyless shell that Regina's presence caused him to be. He remembered his time with Alexandria fondly, but he had to put it out of his mind if he wanted any future type of relationship with her. He didn't want to lose her, not again. The difficulty laid in the fact that he could be potentially jeopardizing their relationship by acting so cold and harsh, but he really didn't have any other choice.

Despite his insistence to skip breakfast, Aidan's stomach growled betraying his hard exterior. "We'll see. It depends on how far we end up going," he responded, matter-of-factly. He was forced to keep reminding himself he had to do this.. there was no other option.

Hopping in his car, Aidan tried desperately to avoid looking at Alexandria. That would only bring memories of last night and guilt and that was not something he desired to deal with. So, he kept his eyes trained on his hands. When he turned the key in the ignition, the car began to sputter to life before dying back down. Aidan continuously turned the key, his frustration growing. "God damnit!" he bellowed, resting his on the wheel in defeat. His car wasn't starting. His beautiful, reliable car had failed him.

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

Alex had to admit she already felt a bit hurt that he had retreated back to the guy she drove with on the way here. It was as if nothing had happened last night and they didn't spend time into the wee hours of the morning just talking with each other, almost baring their souls to each other. She felt silly for feeling so crushed but she couldn't help it at the same time. Most of all she felt stupid for thinking that maybe things were going to be different and that there was a going to be a connection.

All she could do was nod her head, letting out a long sigh and glancing around the parking lot, taking note of the few cars sprawled about here and there before she climbed into the car, setting her bag down by her feet and moving to buckle her seat belt. Already the silence felt suffocating.

Her hazel eyes watched as he shoved the keys into the ignition, only for the car to sputter and then go dead. The same results happened over and over again and she couldn't help but jump slightly when he bellowed in rage. "Maybe we can just jump start it?" She suggested tentatively, her mind raking through different options. Surely there would be someone in that hotel that could help, or someone nearby. At least the parking lot wasn't completely empty, and if Aidan didn't have jumper cables then maybe someone else did. If not, then they were screwed.

"Was this piece of shit worth your death?! You should have prepared for this and-" Aidan tried his best to ignore Regina's threats. He felt no fear, if Regina were to kill him that meant Alexandria would escape and her plan would be foiled. She couldn't afford to kill her only chance at securing the town's curse. Her threats were empty and they both knew that. However, Aidan knew he'd still have to find a way to get there as he wasn't prepared to test his luck.

In the middle of his shut down, Aidan pretended not to notice seeing Alexandria jump in the corner of his eye. And amidst all of his mental chaos, he almost didn't hear Alexandria's statement. He nodded and exited the car without saying anything. He rounded his car and opened the truck, pulling out the well organized chest he kept with all emergency necessities. While Aidan may have been sentimental sometimes, he knew he had to be well prepared in case something like this had occurred. Among the medical supplies, water bottles, and crowbar, there lay jumper cables.

"I'll be back," Aidan announced, before stomping away to the front desk to ask for assistance. It was easy for him, to manipulate the desk lady -- who had thankfully been a different woman from the one he screamed at last night -- into helping him. All it took was a flirtatious voice and one or two compliments before she gave him what he wanted. She dutifully followed him outside, before pulling her car over to the yellow buggy. "Found someone to help," he reported to Alexandria, opening the hood of his car and hastily placing them in their positions.

When the lady returned, her eyes fell on Alexandria and a small scowl changed her features. "Oh, are you two together?" she inquired, pretending to be initiating casual conversation as Aidan opened her hood and placed the cord on their corresponding place. "Start your car," Aidan demanded, ignoring the woman's silly questions. Grumpily, she followed his orders. His eyes wandered to the red head and he offered a soft smile, "Don't worry. We just gotta wait a few minutes and we'll be back on the road, okay?" however, his words were more to reassure Regina than they were for Alexandria.

"You better be."

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

Alex's heart felt heavy and she couldn't tell if it was because of how things were suddenly just back to what they used to be or if she was just so frustrated with herself for actually opening up to Aidan and thinking it would change things. Just another thing to tack onto her list of things that disappoint me but shouldn't. Silently she watched as he climbed out of the car, mentioning that he'd be back before angrily stomping back towards the hotel.

Getting out of the car she ran a hand through her hair, wrapping her arms around herself as if it would protect her from the slight wind that brought a small chill. "Okay, everything will be fine, it will be fine." She muttered to herself as she paced back and forth, trying to reassure herself more than anything. Honestly Aidan's cold shoulder seemed like something that might happen once they arrived at the small town. He did mention last night that he probably would have other things to attend to, so it wasn't like she would really be able to rely on him. Not to mention his warnings.

What was with that anyway? He told her not to trust anyone and when she questioned him about himself he seemingly just skipped over it. Did that mean he knew something that she didn't and trusting him would end up hurting her? So lost in her own thoughts she didn't even notice the blonde come back until he spoke up and she directed her attention back to him, giving a small nod of his head. Moving over to the side Alex watched as he opened the hood of his car, eyes drifting over to the lady who scowled at her, her question catching her off guard. What idd it matter to her? Geez if looks could kill, Alex would be dead on the spot.

Glancing away she heard the cars start, looking back at Aidan and nodding her head, giving him a small smile of her own. "Yeah, no worries." She could still feel the hard glare from the other lady, though the redhead simply chose not to acknowledge her. She didn't need the ladies negativity, though if she had to guess it was because of Aidan. There that guy goes, wooing other females. He never ceased to surprise her. Once the yellow buggy was up and running she thanked the lady, to which she was ignored, before she climbed into the car and buckled her seatbelt. Well it was time to get on the road.

"Alright…we ready to go?"

"
Stay distant. Regina can't know anything. Stay cold. It'll be better in the long-run. But that didn't stop the guilt from settling in. It felt like another type of lie, although it was seemingly hurting both of them. The little indications of Alexandria's hurt feelings did not go unnoticed, despite Aidan wishing they had. But this was a good thing! He had to be harsh, he had no other choice. And Alexandria would understand that if she knew his reasoning, right? She'd understand that Aidan was just trying to protect her. His head ached at the thought.

The yellow buggy burst back to life, bringing out a wide grin from the blonde. "There we go, baby! I believed in you!" he cheerfully exclaimed, gently patting the car. "Do you have any dignity?" Regina questioned, but Aidan was determined to not let her ruin his pride in the little car he had stolen. As he moved toward the driver's seat, preparing to drive off, the desk lady grabbed his arm. A frown replaced his once happy features as he glared at the woman. "So, uh.. i-if things don't work out with you and her.. Just give me a call," the woman said, placing a slip of paper in Aidan's hand.

"Yeah, sure, whatever. I gotta go now," Aidan retorted, his voice ice-cold as he brushed the woman off his arm. Ignoring her other advances, he hurried into his car and couldn't help but smile at Alexandria. "Yes, we are! Let's do this," Aidan gushed, with an energy that he lacked before. "Calm down now, boy. Don't need you scaring the Savior off." However, his mood quickly faded as he was reminded of his duty. For whatever reason, Regina needed Alexandria to fall for Aidan. And as arrogant as it sounded, he couldn't risk that happening. He was determined to thwart all of Regina's plans and if that meant treating Alexandria like shit to save her life, so be it. "How you feeling, Savior?" [/COLOR]

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

His cheerful exclamation was enough to put a smile on her own face. It was cute how much he put his faith and trust into a car that seemed like something he would never have. And she had to admit, it definitely grew on you if you gave it a chance. What Alex once found bright and annoying, now turned into something of endearment. It had made it's track all the way from home to here and it was still going. It was almost kind of like the little engine that could and the redhead couldn't help but find herself rooting for the little yellow buggy that was so eye catching.

Sitting there she watched as the lady grabbed Aidan's arm, words leaving her mouth but no sound, at least none that Alex could make any sense of. She turned her gaze away, feeling as if she was watching and intruding on something she shouldn't. Though with Aidan now in the car offering her a tiny smile, she couldn't help but feel as if she had won against the other female. Aidan was driving her to storybooke, and he had opened up to her last night. All that she cared about in that moment was the fact that Aidan was in her life and she could only hope he would stay in her life long after she broke the curse, or the others realized she wasn't the savior after all.

"I'm fine, kind of tired, but…" Alex trailed off, giving a shrug of her shoulders. "How are you feeling?" She stole a quick glance at him before turning her gaze back out the window. there was no point in trying to find the Aidan she had gotten to know, a knowing feeling in the pit of her stomach that he was long gone, never to be seen again. At least not at this moment. Would there every be another moment? Alex didn't know, but she hoped so, and she would do anything to feel another connection to the male again. It had felt so good to get so much off her chest, that to suddenly shut the lid on it and pretend as if nothing happened? That would be far too much trouble, and yet another weight she would add onto her shoulders.

Mindlessly, Aidan discarded the slip of paper, which he assumed to have the woman's number on it, into the cup holder to be forgotten. He had gotten what he wanted and felt no shame in using a stranger to help him get it. However, Aidan couldn't help but wonder if that was his doing or Regina's silent influence. Either way, he lacked the guilt he felt when it came to Alexandria. Somehow, against all of his rationality, he desired to be close to her again and joke around as old friends.. But he couldn't not now.

Come night time, when Regina had long gone and left him alone, his true self would return. He would laugh and tease her and treat her as she should have been treated. He couldn't be monitored or manipulated then. It would just be them and their long-hidden-away thoughts and playful sarcasm. The thought made him smile. He felt a bit of hope that perhaps they would have a future together, but he just had to ensure he didn't ruin their current relationship by getting them both killed.

"Hm? Oh, I'm fine. Well-rested," Aidan answered curtly, hoping to dismiss Alexandria while sparing her feelings. He ended up deciding that perhaps it would be better to elaborate a little more, if only to keep Regina from suspecting what he was doing -- he decided to tell himself. "It was weird. The blankets were thin and the bed was worn out, but I was warm and comfortable so," Aidan continued, trying to be civil. Unbeknownst to him, it wasn't the bed at all that had comforted him but rather holding onto Alexandria. "And you? I didn't kick you or anything, did I?" he lightly joked, though he coughed as a reminder to control his friendliness.

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

Hazel eyes watched as a crumbled piece of paper got discarded in the cup holder, a flash of numbers peeking through before she averted her gaze. Well that wasn't a surprise at all. Like her continuous thoughts, she was merely reminded of how good looking Aidan was, and if he only fixed his attitude, she was sure he would be drawing in even more girls than he probably already did. Though his mysterious brooding persona seemed to do him just find as well.

"Glad to hear." Alex commented, freezing a bit when he mentioned that the blankets were thin and yet he felt warm and comfortable. She had to take a moment to gather her thoughts, making sure she didn't give anything away, especially since it seemed he didn't know about their sleepy cuddle session. Though honestly she wouldn't be against doing that again, more for the warmth and feeling of safety than anything. Which given more thought to it, was just as weird since Aidan still kind of seemed like a stranger in her eyes.

"That is weird, maybe you were just so tired that everything felt comfortable?" She suggested with a tiny shrug of her shoulders. Though his joking caused a tiny smile to tug at the corner of her lips and she shook her head. "No, at least not that I know of." The red head was known for being a pretty heavy sleeper, especially when she was exhausted and when that happened, she was nearly impossible to wake up. Bending her head down she quickly scanned her pale legs, checking for any sign of discoloring. Though she found none. "Yep, not a bruise in sight, so we're all good!" She gave him a thumbs up before moving to pull her hair up into a ponytail, already feeling the warmth of the day start to warm the car.

Despite his tough efforts to put their stolen night together out of his mind, Aidan was unable to stop thinking about it. He had felt so close to her.. he had been so close to her. And now Alexandria felt as far as when then he first approached her. He thought of their jokes and her laugh and her warmth. It had relaxed him. Although, he wasn't in any position to admit any of that nor did he want to. "So, I see you've made no progress in gaining her trust.. How incompetent are you?"

Good, that's what he wanted Regina to think.. But the words stung all the same. Perhaps she was right. Perhaps no matter what progress he made with Alexandria or all of his efforts to befriend her, they were destined to remain enemies. Maybe Aidan was setting them on a dark path with more pain and heartbreak. But her presence was so intoxicating. And no matter how hard he tried to escape her, their fates were always intertwined. He was born to serve and protect the Savior. Regina had altered that fate so there should have been a way to revert back to it, right?

Aidan shrugged his shoulders, content on not knowing why he had rested so well. He had never been a good sleeper.. Despite his inability to properly relax, his sleep was always short-lived and fueled by nightmares. As a result, he usually only slept four hours to further attempt to avoid his dark thoughts. "That's good," Aidan finished, shifting his gaze from Alexandria. If he focused hard enough, maybe they could have driven in silence for the remainder of the day. He didn't want to, but he knew that would have been best. Despite his better judgement, he asked, "So, how did you sleep? Oddly warm and comfortable?"

"i'm not a savior; i can barely save myself."

Despite the feeling of awkwardness that seemed to suddenly consume them, Alex still hoped that it would disappear. When would it disappear? She didn't know, but she just hoped it would. She smiled faintly, her mind drifting back to the warmth that Aidan had emitted earlier this morning. Alex couldn't help but wonder how long they had slept like that, if it was just at the crack of dawn or when they were both fast asleep if they had just somehow found their way to each other.

"Yes, it was oddly warm and comfortable." The young female couldn't help but reply with a tiny laugh that escaped her lips, her gaze watching as the scenery went by. She wanted to, even if she had no idea where to start, try and come up with a game plan. A place to start. Reaching into her bag she pulled out the book that Aidan had handed her yesterday and she flipped through it. It seems to mostly revolve around Snow White and Prince Charming, which was odd because she was sure Prince Charming was married to Cinderella. "I have a question, and I know you might not know the answer, but it's worth a shot." She flipped to the next page.

She took in the pictures and the story, something about the two having a beautiful baby girl born of true love. "So I'm still not sure why I'm the savior. The book seems to mostly talk about Prince Charming and Snow White, and how they met, fell in love, had a child and ruled the kingdom." A small frown etched its way onto her lips. "So I'm just curious as to why their child, especially since the child was born out of true love as well, isn't the one to save the town." Alexandria glanced briefly at Aidan before she turned her attention back to the book in her lap, finally reaching the blank pages where the story seemed to end.
