Chapter 20 - Confused There was a knock at the door, and Faulk entered. “Hey sis, I feel like your spending a lot of time with Idris and ignoring me. Are you ok? He is treating you well right?” He says as he sits at the edge of the bed. “Faulk is there….Something wrong with me? I dont get it. One second i think he likes me the next i am a stranger in my own body confused at everything that is said and happens between us.” I say to him earnestly as a tear goes down my cheek. “You have to remember Aurora, Idris has been around for soo many centuries always searching for his mate while maintaining the balance of life. I am shocked there is still a Phoenix around, no one has seen one in many many years. I was told that he felt you When you arrived. Almost as if he was drawn here by your presence.” Faulk says, as he lays down to get comfy. “I feel a pull to him i cant explain, i always want to be in his presence. I am heart broken he is gone.” I shudder knowing that what i have said i

We awoke the next morning to knocking at the door. Idris getting out of bed and answering it to find that we had been sent trays of food by Leonids. Idris thanked the guard and brought our meal straight onto the bed. At the same time both of our stomachs began to make noises as we stared at the trays. “I can’t believe we’ve slept Soo long” I get out groggily “Aurora, will you tell me about yourself, I know ive asked you before but you didn’t really tell me much now did you?” Idris asked me curiously, head tilted to the side fidgeting with some berries in his hand. “What would you like to know exactly?” I asked him cautiously. Confused as to his question. No one had ever asked me that before. I think maybe because no one cared. The orphanage had lots of comings and goings but the kids there were all from bad situations. No one liked to talk about their own shit. Mine would only consist of the orphanage and the horrible hand I was dealt. I remember nothing of my life before the orpha

I look into Leonids’s warm father like eyes. All I can do is smile. I want a new fucking life damn it. I want to be as strong as Idris believes I am. Maybe I am suppose to be. I can feel his heat instantly radiating off his body, as my mind made the conscience decisions not be afraid in that moment. I was going to grab onto this new life with both hands as hard as I could and see where I come out the other side. Anything was better then what I have endured and what could have been my fate.“I am humbled to be able to chose a new life. I have never in my life felt as much love as I do from you and my new family. I am scared and excited what this will bring. My 19th birthday. The birthday I will be given a new life. The best present i could have ever hoped for.” I say everything really quickly. It kind of comes out jumbled, and odd, but I ment every word. I was just trying to hold myself from getting sick. King Leonids smiles and gives Lindy’s hand a squeeze.

Idris and I share a tiny round table at the cafe. Neither of us could say a thing. I was so caught up in my own head I hadn’t even realised he was staring at me looking as if he had things to stay. Though it seemed he wasent sure if he should pull me out of my own head.A tiny tear escaped my eye as i think about Rose and the gown. What was to come. Mostly Idris. Was he going to leave? I didnt want him to ever leave my side again. How did Rose know i would need such a gown, how did she seem to make it to be a seemingly perfect fit to me. It was all a lot to take in. “Aurora, i know what your thinking right now. My only explaination is this, everything in this world we know happens for a reason. Call it fate call it destiny whatever it is, it is all ment to be. Just as i truly believe you and i are suppose to be right here right now. The best company i have ever had in my long long life.” Idris says all this too quickly as though this is not really what he h

I am woken the next morning, to shifting in my bed. Confused I open my eyes forgetting what happened, and the small shreds I have learned about Idris and his Phoenix. More so, knowing that he feels he same way for me as I feel towards him. I shut my eyes again. Smiling, reliving the kiss we shared. The sparks, the energy. I never wanted it to end. I feel an arm around me, and a kiss to my forehead. “Good morning sweetheart. How did you sleep?” He says happily. “Amazing. Best sleep I have ever had beside the other night when you were with me.” I smile. “Get up, and get ready. I’m gonna go back to my room and grab some clothes. We must go into town today, and do some shopping.” He says excitedly. As he gets up and heads toward the door. “I’ll be right back” he calls as he closes the door. I instantly jump up, running into the bathroom. A shopping day with Idris. I jump in the tub quickly, no time for relaxing th

Once inside, I quickly rip off my dress and toss it close to the door. Reaching for those amazing quartz knobs on the tub turning the hot on as hot as I could get it, without melting my skin off of course……as I slip in, I grab the jasmine oil bottle, and pour it into the water while grabbing a handful of rose petals and tossing them in as well. Sinking in up to my neck, only my head out of water, inhaling, feeling, trying to rid my nose of the lingering smell of vomit. Peace and calm is all I can feel, but it is very short lived because as soon as I closed my eyes, I snap them open, to Idris rushing into the bathroom so fast the door smashed into the wall behind it leaving a dent. His eyes look as if there literally on fire, ready to burn something down. “Aurora” he looks around the room too fast, it takes him a second to realize I am in the tub. “Why didn't you answer me I called from your door, over and over, no response, I rush in here terrifie
