Thread: Living in the New world (DovaKittenxFrelance)

Helena placed the crystals on the table in front of her as he spoke, before pulling out a twig of sage. She opened her mouth to explain the 'maybe' part but shrugged when he decided he didn't want to know. It was probably for the best anyways. Her eyes lingered on him a moment when she saw his eyebrows raise, curious to what he was looking at that could be so surprising and she soon found out he turned the tablet towards her. She inhaled sharply through her nose and forced a smile as she pretended not to be embarrassed, but the pink glow on her pale cheeks gave her away. Sure. If you're a good boy and let me cleanse your aura, I'll be happy to take you to that bar, she said as she reached out to stop the tablet with her hand, and slide it off to the side. She flicked her finger tips at the screen until the pictures were gone, I'll explain 'em in a sec. Helena stood, pulled a lighter from her bra and lit the sage, she could have easily spoken a few words to light the sage magically but she wasn't in the habit of using magic that way. As the sage burned, she whispered in Latin so hushed and rapidly that it was difficult to discern exactly what she was saying. Her eyes took on an eerie blue-white glow that filtered through her red contacts to turn them fuchsia. At first what she saw was normal, there was lots of blue which she thought was accurate considering how very clam he was. There was a thin lining of red which wasnt too alarming, if anything, it told he was passionate about some things but still able to keep a cool head. Then at his center, she noticed a darkness that was unlike anything shed ever seen. It seemed to be pulsating and growing by the second. Holy shit, Helena whimpered before she remembered there was an actual person standing in front of her. She blew out the sage so the earthy smelling smoke curled up into the room, the glow of her eyes slowly dissipating as she looked up at him. She cleared her throat, Sorry, its just been a while since I read anyones aura, she lied. Helena read auras almost every day at her shop, but she didnt want to bring too much focus on that darkness growing inside of him. She started to methodically move the smoking sage around his body, creating a smoky halo over his head before moving to his chest and reaching across his arms. When she came to his core she lingered there a long moment before she squat down, keeping her knees pressed together while her free arm hugged herself, to continue the cleansing down his legs and feet. Helena hopped up and cleansed herself since the sage wasnt done burning, whirling it about her head just as it burned out. She placed the remainder of the sage back in the box before picking up the two silver chains with perfectly clear, jagged crystals hanging from each one. These are the reason for the cleansing. If youre aura is all blocked up these dont work properly, she put as simply as she could. They read you, pretty accurately, but it depends on the Wiccan just how well it works. Anyways, both of us will wear one and itll give us a sort of bond. Ill feel what you feel and vice versa. If youre close, Ill know. If youre far, Ill know. And Im sure I dont have to tell you, but you shouldnt stray too far from your Guardian. One corner of her lips twitched upwards, it wasnt exactly a smile but she wasnt frowning either. It was just awkward to think of herself as a twenty-something Guardian to a possibly hundreds of years old Vampire, it was a bit insane to think about. She raised one of the necklaces and placed it over his head before giving him an almost apologetic look and putting her own on. A pink cloud swirled about inside her crystal as it slowly turned the entire crystal into a blackened purple. Helena held the crystal up, blinking at the sinister darkness of her crystal, normally when she wore necklaces like this they were a very vibrant purple or light violet, but never this dark. She looked over at Jackson's which had started out red but was now completely black, almost as black as that of the aura reading. The Wiccan swallowed hard as she could see that his energy had almost completely taken over her own, which she knew was dangerous. Maybe I really should have taken some classes, she thought to herself as she turned away from him.
