(Will do!)
It was seven in the morning, a time when Tori despised being awake, but she had an important task to accomplish. It was Sunday, which meant no work or school or therapy to go to. Normally, Sundays were the days where she slept till noon, found food, then went back to sleep. However, right now, she was up for one purpose, and one purpose only: To confront Mallory before her friend had a chance to confront her. Mallory had texted her last night, but her replies had been short and uninformative. Basically, all she did was let her best friend know she was home and alright. Nothing more. It must have been enough because Mal hadn't come rushing home, but, instead, still went home with Ian for the night.
Currently, Tori sat in the living room, waiting to hear Ian's vehicle pull up to the driveway. Mallory had a lot of explaining to do, and she knew that Mal would have a few questions of her own. If she didn't start off the interrogations, then she may not have a chance. Not to mention that Mallory's lies were much more important than the fact that Tori had slapped Nicole. At least, in her opinion it was.

Mal, I already told you that I didn't want to do that! Tori signed, standing up and walking over to her friend. You know I don't want to lie to get his attention. It's a poor lie anyway! Nicole saw through it the moment you mentioned it, and I'm pretty sure everyone else will too. Besides, he didn't even seem the slightest bit interested when you asked what he thought on it, so how do you know it's even going to work? If Cambry didn't notice her after this long of hanging out together, what was some stranger pretending to be her crush going to do? He probably be happy she was seeing someone and have zero traces of jealousy. At the mention of Mal already having the perfect fake crush in mind, her eyes narrowed. Of course, she did. And, like everything else about the whole plan, she hadn't told her a thing about it. The woman huffed. Yeah, I ran into your perfect guy last night, she added, exaggerating the sign for "perfect" to let her know she meant it in a sarcastic tone. I don't know where you managed to find him at, but I don't think he's going to work out.

Wait, he had asked about her? Tori found it a little hard to believe. Sure, they were friends, but she couldn't really remember a time when Mal mentioned Cambry asking about her except for when they were planning on doing something as a group. She shook her head slightly. That didn't mean anything. He probably just wanted to know more of the "new guy" that was supposedly be joining them for bowling. I meet him last night walking home, she answered. She didn't, however, mention anything about the demon attacks or the fact he had been brandishing a sword. Mallory knew a lot about the nightmares she had, but even that seemed more than her friend might want to believe. We didn't talk about much. He was... strange. He's a pretty face, but I don't think he'll be a good match, fake or not.

Mal's comment didn't sit well with her. So he had talked with Mal recently. Then why would he lie? Tori didn't know what he would have gained by lying about having talked with Mal? If he had agreed to this crazy plan of hers, wouldn't he assume that Tori would have known about it as well? She wouldn't have put it past her best friend to have told the guy that she was fully on board with it all. And why would he have lied to Mallory about having to work? No, he didn't walk me home, she signed, starting to look more skeptical as the conversation progressed. We met in front of the public gardens, and no, I mentioned nothing of the bowling. I don't want anything to do with this plan, remember? He was just... odd. The way he spoke, his sudden appearance, his name. That stuff.

Tori shook her head. No, he didn't. Then again, I didn't really ask much, she said. Not true, she had asked a lot of questions, but nothing that she would understand. There were questions of demons and how he could see them, but nothing more about who exactly this man was. The woman shrugged. Maybe he shared a class with you one semester. Anyway, if isn't the guy you had meet, then I don't guess we'll be running into him any time son. At least, she assumed so.

Well, let's hear your idea, and if it doesn't work for whatever reason, I've got a backup plan. ;D For a moment Tori's words left Mallory looking crestfallen. She loved dropping surprises on her friends, especially Tori. Most of the time those surprises turned into great times, but other times... they didn't. Especially lately, with Tori and this fake boyfriend plan. So with a sigh of defeat, she said, "I was going to introduce you and Warren. He's a decent guy, Tor, someone I can actually see you being friends with, if nothing else. That's why I thought he would be perfect for this scheme of ours."

Okay then, here it is. Drawing off of Ren's observation of her earlier, what if she did have an angel father? What if her mother's guardian angel had a fling with her mother. They had fallen in love, but he also knew she loved Victor, the human she married. The angel knew he couldn't have her, so he encouraged her to get married. Well, Tori's mother, Heather, had somehow convinced him to spend a night with her, thinking nothing would come of it, but it turned out that she got pregnant. Luckily, her Guardian and Victor both had dark hair and eyes because that's what Tori inherited. The angel, upon hearing the news, immediately knew what would happen to the child once it was born, and guilt and shame drove his actions. He went to Michael and Gabriel, confessed what had happened, and begged that he be given the task to protect his child. It was only fitting that he protect her from the fate that he had created for her. Somehow, he got his wish, which meant that he would no longer be able to see Heather. Heather didn't like the news, hated it, but no matter what she said, nothing could be done to change his decision. Thus, the angel vanished from her personal life and moved to protect their child. Heather, being a selfish person by nature, became bitter and spiteful that her love had been taken from her, only saw her daughter as the reason why he left her. Tori had taken her angel for herself, and she never saw past it. So when Tori told her of the demon attacks, she didn't care/believe her, knowing that she was being protected and refused to think it was as bad as she claimed it to be. Little do either of them know that it would get worse to the point where her actual father had lost his life protecting her.
If that made any sense, I would love to know what you think/if it might work. If it doesn't, I'm very interested to know what Plan B is. XD)
You know, you could have just told me these things up front instead of going behind my back, Tori signed. She wasn't opposed to meeting Warren. If Mal thought they could be good friends, then she trusted her opinion. She just didn't want that friendship based on a scheme such as this. Maybe years down the road it would make for a funny story, but right now, she didn't have that mindset. I'll meet him, but I'm not promising to go along with this plan. And it isn't our scheme. It's yours.

I can. Uno minuto. ^^
So I was thinking, so we can get the ball rolling here, that during the meeting, or maybe right after, Tori is ambushed by another demon (or demons). It/they separates her from the others and corners her in an alley or something, and Ren only just makes it in time to save her. And maybe she can end up unconscious, so he's forced to bring her somewhere safe, and when she wakes up, she can go into interrogation mode — you know, after the shock has worn off. ;D

Would you like me to be Warren? Or do you have plans for him?
Tori had not been able to grab a few more hours of sleep, so she had spent the rest of the morning in her room trying to get some homework completed. It might have been the weekend, but that didn't mean she didn't have things to do. If she didn't get them done now, then she would just procrastinate until the last minute. By the time to leave for lunch, she had managed to finish the majority of it. All she needed to do was submit it, and she could do that when she returned home.
Right now, however, she was currently standing with Mallory in front of the cafe. Gazing in the direction she indicated Tori spotted the dark-haired man that her friend had chosen for her scheme. No, he was definitely not the same man she ran into last night. His hair was shorter, a different shade, and his facial features was completely different. He was still good looking, she would admit. Seems normal enough, she replied. You said his name was Warren?
