Serafina rolled over, eyes blinking in the light coming through the window. She stretched out, claws extending slightly, and she purred contentedly. She shifted back to human, while still stretching and she made a satisfied noise as she climbed out of bed.
"Mmmmmmmm."
She walked over to her mirror and shrugged slightly. She'd lived in this teenage body for long enough, it was time to get to the good stuff.
And so, with a mere flick of her wrist, Serafina let herself accelerate through her ages, ending at 21.
Staring back through the mirror was a young woman who stood at around 5'7", with long dark brown hair, deep brown doe eyes that glittered gold in the light. She smiled at herself, gone was the cutesy little girl.
Serafina frowned, realising she'd now have no clothes, and threw on a robe and headed into Faith's room to nab something quickly. Thankfully, the Slayer was out, and she dressed quickly in a pair of jeans and a shirt.
Sauntering out, she headed down to get some breakfast.
Angel, Serafina, Tru and Faith
"Morni..." Angel trailed off as he looked up at the young lady who smelled like his daughter, but looked... different. Still like Serafina, but not, almost.
"Morning," Serafina replied, sliding into her seat.
Tru and Faith were looking at her in curiousity.
"I aged," Serafina said simply. "I just kinda... felt like it."
Faith laughed. "Good reason. And hey, those are my favourite jeans."
"Oooh, let's go shopping for clothes then!" Tru exclaimed.
Angel smiled slightly and shook his head. "Well then... I guess I won't worry about you so much, even though you are still 3."
Serafina laughed and reached for her mug of blood. "Yeah, but wow, what a 3 year old."
Serafina and Luke
Serafina tapped Luke on the shoulder, smiling cheekily as he turned around.
"Smells like Sera... kinda looks like Sera..." Luke said, furrowing his brow.
"Is Sera," she replied, hugging him. "Decided to accelerate. Being a teenager is fun, but, you know... kinda want to get to the good stuff."
"Ah." Luke nodded, pushing his glasses up on his nose. "I see."
"I'm sorry to be hiding you," Serafina said, sitting down next to him. "I just... if the Senior Partners find out..."
"I know," Luke replied softly. "And I'm grateful. Believe me."
Sera rested her head on his shoulder. "I know."
