“I don’t want to sleep…” Aiba groaned. “I don’t want to sleep again…no…” Whatever that Ghost Dream was it wasn’t helping him fall asleep.
Aisling looked at him and bit her lip. She felt useless. She wanted to help him but as soon as she touched him the emotions and the feeling of Death shocked her and she didn’t know what to do. She figured that it effect her heighten Empath senses.
Puck flew over to Aisling shoulder and looked down at Aiba with sympathy. Then his eyes lit up as an idea hit him. He whispered into Aisling’s ear, the red head blinked. “Are you sure?” She whispered Puck nodded and gave her an encouraging and sly grin. Aisling blinked and nodded. She turned to Sho and her grandmother. “I….think I can help him.”
The angel and shaman stared at her. “How?” Her grandmother asked. She wondered if Aisling had learned something that could help him.
Aisling paused and said, “I’ll take him spiritual training with me.”
The room was silent for a few seconds as they stared at her. “WHAT?!” Aíne yelled. “No! Absolutely not!”
“But Nana I think it could really help him.” Aisling said staring back her grandmother’s shock face. She gripped her hands in determination.
Sho looked at Aíne and then at Aisling not saying a word he stood there quietly and the emotions that Aisling picked up were very calm and controlled.
Aíne frowned and grabbed Aisling’s hand and pulled her into the hall. The red head angel faced her granddaughter, crossed her arms and shook her head. “You can not do that Aisling. I can’t believe you even thought of that.”
I didn’t actually, Aisling thought glancing at Puck hovering over their heads. She looked at Aíne, “Why can’t I do it?”
“Because inviting a shaman-no a human-into Spiritual Training is like….” Aíne shook her head hard and muttered in the angelic language that Aisling sort of understood. “Ugh! It’s very private and sacred!”
Aisling thought about it, “In spiritual training I have more control with my Empathy powers, and I’ll be able to calm him down.”
“We can help too!” Puck piped up. “We can district him and help him relax and have a good time.” He said with a grin and then shrugged. “It’s the least we could do. It might not be much but we’re all willing to help him however we can.” He paused. “And I’m sure his Spirit Partners what to help him too.” He said nodding.
Aíne frowned and looked at Aisling and Puck’s determined faces. She sighed, and said, “Fine…but I don’t want the angels to know about this especially not the shamans.”
“Is this against the law?”
Aíne shook her head, “It’ll more likely cause a huge scandal.” She muttered and heaved an annoyed sigh. They walk back into Aiba’s room. Aíne shot Sho a suspicious glare wondering if he was eavesdropping but the man stood beside the bed and gazed back at her calmly. Aíne stood back, with her arms crossed her chest and watch Aisling walk over to Aiba.
Okay…how do I do this? Aisling thought sitting in the chair next to Aiba. Aiba lay in his bed and stared up at the ceiling. The emotions of terror and shock hit her but she took in a deep breath. She saw the rings and picked them up in her hand. She sensed the emotions of the spirits within the rings, they were worried and anxious. Aisling closed her eyes and steadied her breathing.
She looked at Aiba and exhaled slowly. Here we go…; she reached out and took hold of Aiba’s hand.

Aíne and Sho stared at Aisling. The red head closed her eyes and her head hit the bed but her hand clasped onto Aiba’s hand in her other hand she held the rings. Puck had disappeared and must be in that pocket dimension that Aisling used for spiritual training. The red head angel sighed and looked at Sho who stared at the two sleeping young teens.
“I know its part of your job but please don’t report this to the shaman council.”

Aisling opened her eyes and looked around. Instead of the training area that the card spirits created for her it was a forest. The atmosphere around them felt clear and tranquil. She looked down and saw Aiba was asleep and saw his spirit partners gathered around him. She sighed, sat down and leaned her back against a tree and waited for Aiba to wake up.
****
That was fun. I kept it short because I wasn’t sure how Aiba would react. Aiba can change the scenery like Aisling if he wants to. In this state Aisling can block out any emotions so other people emotions wouldn’t affect her.
I hope this helps ^^
