Aurora Bell
This week has been a long one. It's currently Thursday and I just got done with my last exam for the day and it's only 2 o'clock. The exam I just did was for my art class.Our professor had us do a painting at home to bring in today as well as a written exam in the classroom. Our painting had to be of a member of our family. Since I grew up in foster care and don't have a family she let me do mine of my best friends who are the closest people that I have to family.While we were doing the written exams she walked around to where our paintings were and graded them. They will be counted as half of our grade.After we finished with our written exams we were allowed to leave for the day and if our paintings were graded we could take them with us. Of course she had all of the paintings graded by the time we started finishing up the exams.Once I was done I took my exam up to her and turned it in. I got painting and headed out to the courtyard to wait for Sophia and Jack. I know both of their exams will take awhile to finish up.While I was waiting on them I sat under a tree to study for my photography class that I've got tomorrow. After class we're supposed to go to dinner because tomorrow Sophia only has one exam and Jack doesn't have any so they will be leaving after their exams. I've got two to take tomorrow so I won't see them before they leave.I know that their both excited because their taking a trip with all of their family out of town for a few day but I'm gonna miss them like crazy.As I'm sitting under the tree studying I see a few vehicles that pulled into the parking lot on the other side and park. It looks like it's someone important with the way the security guys are protecting whoever it is. I decide to just ignore it because it has nothing to do with me and I go back to studying.After studying for awhile the next time I look up its to see Jack walking towards me just whistling away with a big smile on his face."What's got you so happy Jackie?" I asked him. "For one I'm happy because my exams are done and for two I can't wait to go on break. I feel like my brain is about fried. I need some down time" he said as he flipped down beside me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders."Aww Jackie that's cute. You think you have a brain. Didn't Soph say that you lost it along with your marbles a few years ago?" I asked him while laughing."Haha your so funny. I'm also happy because I get a break from you and..... Damn it I don't get a break from Sophia. Maybe I should leave her here with you" he said."Bahahaha go ahead you know that she'd love that, because you wouldn't be up in her ass all the time like she says. And you know that you'll miss me their Mr. protector" I said while laughing evilly." Your right, I will miss you and I don't like leaving you here alone what If something happens to you while we're gone? What will you do then?" He asks me."Listen I love that you play the big brother role with me also even though you don't have to. But I am use to taking care of myself. You gotta remember that I've been alone since the day I was born, so I'm use to taking care of me. And besides if I have any troubles I have all of the numbers that I need on my phone. I've got yours and Sophia's plus Mrs. O'Brien's and Sam's numbers, and all of the emergency numbers that I need. Go have fun with your family I'll be fine I promise" I said."Hey as much as I hate to say this I agree with my brother. I hate that you're gonna be here alone as well. Yes yes I know that you can take care of yourself but I still don't like it. Especially with that pub that you work in, anything can happen at that place" Sophia said."I promise I'll be fine, and besides I've got Darcy and her son Sam to look out for me and they always do. You know Darcy she's my landlord and Sam is her son he owns the pub. They watch over me as well, so I'll be ok. So topic change" I said with an evil eye to the both of them. They just laughed at me."How was your exams today Sophia?" I asked. "They were good and I'm pretty sure that I aced them. What about you guys?" she asked. "I did good in mine also and now I am done and can relax tomorrow morning and finish packing up for our vacation" Jack said."All of mine went really well today and I'm sure that I aced them. I already got my painting that I did back. You guys know that we were supposed to do one of a family member, I told you about it. Well I talked to the professor and since I don't have any family but you two are like my family I asked if I could paint you two and she agreed to it. So I painted the two of you and got an A+ on it. Do you wanna see it?" I asked."Hell yeah we wanna see it" they both said at the same time. I got the painting that I did out of the canvas carrying case that I had it in and held it up to show them. Without them saying anything I could tell by their faces that they loved it.Sophia went to say something when a voice spoke over hers. "That is amazing! You did such a wonder job on it. If I didn't know any better then I'd say that It was a picture and not a painting. Sophia and Jack you didn't tell me that your friend was so talented" a beautiful woman exclaimed."Mom what are you doing here" she said as she jumped up to hug her, "and yes she is very talented. That picture is just amazing Aurora. I love it" Sophia said. "It is very amazing Aurora. I mean it's incredible. You did fantastic on it and deserved that A+ you got. And yes mom what are you doing here I thought we were meeting you tomorrow afternoon" Jack said as he got up to hug her as well."That was the plan but your father got called out here about work so I figured that I'd surprise you two. I've been here for awhile and didn't want to interrupt you three but when I seen that picture I had to. Its just amazing. And I have to say I am so proud of the two of you for looking out for your friend. I didn't mean to ease drop but I heard you talking about being worried about her while your gone and it shows how much you care about your friend. The two of you are turning into such amazing people" she said."Thanks mom and we do worry about Aurora she's our best friend. And sorry Aurora I've forgotten my manners Aurora this is our mom Amelia, and mom this is our Aurora Bell Reid. Our bestest best friend" Sophia said."It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. O'Connor. I don't need this picture for class anymore if you want it your more than welcome to take it" I said. "Oh that is just so nice of you, thank you and please call me Amelia. It will look fabulous in my living room. You said her last name is Reid, who is your family, where are they from if you don't mind me asking?" Amelia asked me."I don't have any family Amelia. I was put into foster care when I was born and no one knows who my family was. I was left outside of a fire department. The only thing in the box with me was a pink blanket with the initials ABR and a note with my name and the date and time that I was born. The only other thing the note said was that I was born at home and there was no birth certificate for me. I know I was born in the United States but not sure where. I was takin to the four corners fire department so I could've been born in one of those four states. The cops tried to find out where I came from but with no luck. I've always been on my own until I moved over here from the states. Aftering coming here I met your kids and they became my family" I said."Oh dear, I am so sorry, I had no idea. I just asked because you look like someone I know and even share a name with them but it could be a coincidence. You may have grown up alone but your not alone now. Now you are apart of our family. I would tell you to come with us on vacation but I do remember that Sophia said you had plans of your own. Of course the invitation is open if you want to come your more than welcome to" Amelia said."Thank you, that's very nice of you but I have a big project for my art and photography classes that's due at the end of the year and will take awhile to get done so I'm going to work on that. I am going to go out this week to The Clare Glens and walk the looped walks and take pictures. And I already promised to stay on the path and be careful while I did it. I know that there some dangerous places around there" I said."Ok just be careful while your there and keep your phone close to you. Now I know you all had dinner plans so I'll let you get to it and I'll meet you to back at the condo ok kids. And make sure that you give Aurora my number so she's got it if she needs it. You can contact me anytime dear day or night, I'm always available anytime for my kids. I will see you all later". Amelia said and then left back to her car.After Amelia left Sophia Jack and I all went out to dinner at a nice steakhouse that also sold a variety of pastas. We ate our fill of dinner and then hugged and promised to stay in touch all week and they said they'd see me as soon as they got back.We went our separate ways with them going to their huge condo and me heading back to my little apartment. Next weekend can't come fast enough.Aurora Bell Last day of exams came and went and I got the last exam done. Sophia and Jack both left after Sophia got done with her one exam for the day. When I got out of my last class after taking my last exam I had a few different texts from not only Sophia and Jack but from their mom Amelia also. Sop- Hey chickadee we are off with the parentals. Please be careful while we're gone and make sure to txt me. Gonna miss you like crazy. Love ya bich. Me- Hey bich don't worry I'll make sure I txt like 10 times a day so you know I'm still alive. I promise to be super duper careful while your gone. Have fun and send lots of pics. Gonna miss you also, love ya more bich. Sophia's text's are always funny because like me she doesn't like to cuss unless she really has a good reason to. So instead of saying bitch she's always called me a bich as a sort of joke. It started on my first day of school in freshman year. Sophia was having a bad day to start with and she'd asked if she could sit b
AmeliaThe kids are all on spring break next week so we have planned a family vacation. It's not often that we all get to go away together. Having three out of four of our kids in college and our oldest always busy with work makes it hard to get away. Being the Alpha King and Queen also makes it's hard to get away. Thankfully Charlie and Lily, Oliver's parents, agreed to keep an eye on things so that we could get the kids away for a vacation. Our Gamma Howard and Delta Niall will also be there to keep and eye on the kingdom. It will be nice to spend time with all of our kids together for a change. It's not often that we are all able to get together. Our oldest Jacob is always working. He never wants to take a break and when he's not working he's looking for his mate. Being supernatural creatures we look young but we are actually over a hundred years old. My Oliver is 158 and I'm 130. Our oldest Jacob is 100, with the twins being 24 and my only girl Sophia being 22.There is a big a
Aurora BellThe weekend went by pretty fast and now it's Monday. During the days on the weekend I went to different places around here to site see and take pictures and then I worked at night. Now that it's Monday and I'm finally taking my trip to The Clare Glens. I can't wait to get there. I've got everything packed up and ready and even told Darcy and Sam where I was going.I even let them know that I may stay there the night and go exploring more tomorrow. I wanted them to know so that if I wasn't back by Wednesday then they could send someone to come find me. And if I decided to stay longer I'd let them know. I get up Monday morning around 8 a.m. I got a quick shower and got ready to go. I packed up my cooler with sandwiches and drinks. Then I pack up my book bag and an extra bag with snacks to take that way I've got extras if I need them. I already had my duffle bag fixed with a few days worth of clothes and toiletries in it. My camera bag was all packed up with everything tha
Aurora BellI take off on the trail pulling my cooler behind me it's just a small one so it's easy to take with me. After all the research I have done I'm really excited to go see these waterfalls. As she started out on the trail she was amazed at all of the beauty that surrounded her. There was so many beautiful trees, plants and flowers. Some of which shes never seen before. Aurora took out her camera and started taking pictures. With having the cooler with her she had to keep stopping to take pictures but it didnt bother her any. She wanted to take her time and make sure that she didnt miss any of the beautiful scenery. After waking for about an hour and a half Aurora came up to the first waterfall. It was so beautiful, and she took many pictures of it. She made sure she took pictures from different angles so that she would have different ones to choose from. After taking her pictures, she found a picnic area. She decided to sit down for a few to rest and eat again.
Jacob My name is Jacob Oliver O'Conner. I am a 100 year old Dragon and the future Alpha King of our kind. Im am 7 foot tall and I've got red hair and bright ocean blue eyes. My hair is long on top but shaved underneath, I usually have it in a man bun at work. I also have a beard. I hit around 350 pounds but its all muscles and im covered in tattoos. I've got a pretty big family. There is my parents, my mom Amelia and my dad Oliver. I've also got two brothers James and Jack who are twins and a sister Sophia. My brothers are 24 and my sister is 22. There is a big age gap between my siblings and I. After I was born stuff had happened to keep my mom from being able to have other kids. They were to worried about protecting me and our people. It was well worth the wait though because i love my brothers and sister more than anything. I've also got two sets of grandparents. There is my dads parents who are the former Alpha King and Queen Charlie and Lily. And my moms parents who are form
Jacob After I talked to my mom I tried to get as much work as I could done. I didnt want Gamma Howard or Delta Niall to have a lot of stuff to worry about next week. I sent out an email letting my staff know that I needed them to gather in the conference room for an emergency meeting at 4:30. I then called in my secretary Elizabeth, she is an elder of our Thunder of dragons, or hoard as some call it. When she came in I had her sit down so that we could talk. "Miss Elizabeth, I wanted to let you know before anyone else that I will be gone for the next week. My mom called me yesterday to inform me that we will be going on vacation to Amelia island for the next week. Apparently my sister and brothers all have off for spring break. Since we've not had a family vacation for a long time they want to spend some time with us all. Now my Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Lily will be keeping watch over the kingdom. So if anyone comes to you with a problem please send them to talk with my grandpar
Jacob Waking up the next morning I got up and used the bathroom and then got another shower. I need it to be able to wake up. After my shower I double checked my bags to make sure that I had everything that I would need the next week. Once I seen that I had everything with the exceptions of what I would need to stop and get I headed out of my bedroom. Instead of fixing my breakfast I would just swing by McDonalds and grab food and coffee. I sat my bags by the door and went back to get my briefcase and make sure that everything was in it that i needed. I got ahold of my housekeeper Maria and told her that I would be gone for the next week. I also told her that she could get any of the food that was in the fridge and use it so it doesnt go bad. Shes use to me giving her food when I go out of town so this isn't anything new to her. She also picks up my mail and puts it on the desk in my home office for me. When I get everything done that I needed to I grab my bags
Aurora Waking up the next day I still felt really tired. All night I had dreams about what the voice told me. It had me wondering, do I really have a dad out there that doesnt even know about me? I really wanted to talk to Sophia and Jacks about this but I didnt want them to think that I was crazy. At the same time, that voice also said that I could talk to them about this and trust them. Id love to send them a message about it all but I dont want to bother them while they are spending time with their family. I know that they are on Amelia Island and cell service can be spoty. I decide to wait to talk to them when they get back and order room service before I start on the other side of the trail. After calling in a order of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, orange juice and coffee I jump into the shower. While im showering I notice that my birthmarks are all darker than what they were and the hummingbirds are in color. They are still light but I can make
Aurora When I woke up i seen that I was asleep on the couch in the game room. I couldn't remember how i got here. And then the events from the day came back to me. I couldn't believe all that i had learned this week. It was all overwhelming. To go from thinking i was alone in the world to have a dad and grandparents. And somewhere out there in the world my mom and her parents. It was hard to believe that all that i had learned. Especially that the supernatural creatures that i've read about in books are all real. And i will change into a couple of them and one day be the queen of them all. I don't know how i will manage to do it. I sat up slowly and looked around and seen Sophia sitting in a chair reading. When i sat up she looked up from her book. "Hey sleepyhead" She said. "Hey, how long have i been out for?" I asked her. "Just a couple of hours. Its been a long day and you've found out alot of information. It was alo
Jacob To say that it was a shock would be and understatement. If Aurora was to be the Queen of all species, then that meant I'd be the King of all species as well. It should be easy to deal with, after all i've been preparing to be king all my life. The only difference is that now i'll be the king of not the dragons but also everyone else as well. It took a minute but when i looked down at Aurora, she was staring off into space and then she passed out. I was really worried about her but mom said that she was just overwhelmed. This has been a long and informative week for her. Shes went from thinking that she's human to finding out that she's half dragon and half phoenix. I took her into the house and laid her down on the couch in the game room. Glyn brought in her knee scooter so she'd have it when she woke up. I didn't want to wake her up but with the threat of this Dexter guy we needed to come up with a plan
AuroraDrake kept me in the safety of his with his wings around us for over an hour now. As sweet and protective as it was, i was starting to get aggravated with it. Not only did i have to go pee but i was getting hungry as well. "Drake can you let me go please? I need to use the bathroom and im hungry" I said to him. He just chuffed at me and curled around me tighter. He wasnt going to move until Kake made it back here. So i decided to link him and see when he would be back. "Hey are you going to be back soon? Drake is being over protective and wont let me move until you get here" I asked him. "Hey sorry im still in the mer kingdom. I should be back soon though. Who is Drake and why wont he let you move?" He asked me. "Drake is Jacobs dragon and he wont let me move because you took off to the mer kingdom without telling us whats going on with the body we seen. And he is worried to something will happen to me. Hes g
AuroraWhen I woke up after my nap I was cuddled up to Jacob and he was asleep. I just laid their and stared at him like a creeper. He had to be the sexiest man I have ever seen. He's huge, at least seven foot tall. He's got a beard and is covered in tattoos. He gives off major bad boy vibes. I reached up with my hand and touched his cheek. His beard was as soft as it looked. I could run my hands through it for days. I then ran my hand down to his arm and laid there tracing his tattoos that I could see. When I finally looked back up at his face he was awake and watching me. I was so embarrassed that I got caught. He just gave me his beautiful smile. After we got up and used the bathroom, we headed downstairs. The fish fry was done and I was starving. It was nice to spend the evening with all of our family. For the first time in my life i felt like i finally belonged in a family. It was a nice feeling to have. I sat with Jaco
Aurora As i sat there waiting on his answer i got really nervous. Kaka swallowed hard and then said "When we last saw her she was alive. Thats been a few years ago though. She usually checks in with me every few months. The last time i heard from her she said that Dexter was getting close and she didnt know when she'd be able to check in again. I should've heard from her before i came here but i havent yet. I have no way to call her because she's always used a payphone to check in. She didnt want a way for someone to track her so she refused to have a cell phone." "I really hope that she's ok" I said. "Im sure she will be dear, your mom is tough. She can protect herself. Lulu you use to be able to connect with her can you still do it?" Troy asked her. "I've tried to repeatedly, but im not able to. I had the same connection with Lulu's mom Queen Arabella also. Once the next queen is born, the current queen can brake the connection between us and th
Aurora I just stared at him, with my mouth opening and closing. I couldn't believe after all of these years he was in front of me again. Raken was my foster brother. We were in every foster home together until I turned 11. When I was 11 he was 16 and he just disappeared on me. I was so worried about him. Noone was able to find him. I remember the cops searching everywhere for him for months. They finally told me that they thought he was dead because they couldn't find him. To see him in front of me now and to learn that he's my protector explains so much. He always told me that no matter what he would always be with me protecting me. I remember him saying "Roo it's always going to be you and me against the world. I will always protect you. Its my job but also my privilege to protect you. We may not be the same and we may not be blood but you are my sister, my everything." We he disappeared I felt like part of m
Aurora I woke up the next morning around eight and got up and went to the bathroom. After taking care of business, i brushed my teeth and then my hair. When i came back out to my room i sent Sophia a text letting her know that i was up and getting dressed for the day. As i was getting my clothes out for the day i could hear someone moving around in the room next to mine. I figured that the boys must've gotten back last night. A few minutes after i texted Sophia, she was knocking on the door and then coming into my room. "Hey, good morning. I came to help you get dressed. I figured that you may need your hands rebandaged also" Sophia said. "Good morning and yes ill need some help. Im not sure how much longet ill have to bandage my hands up for. Dr Manny said a few day. I cant wait to be healed up. Not being able to use my arm or do anything by myself really sucks" i said with a pout. Sophia just laughed and said "Well you've got family no
JacobThe next morning when we got up early. When i made it downstairs with my overnight bag, i seen that Dad, Mom, Sophia and Glyn were all sitting at the table. I thought that the two day fishing trip was just going to be dad and us boys. Sophia hates to fish, and i know my moms not going to go. "Good morning, whats going on?" I asked. "Good morning baby. How are you this morning, did you sleep good?" mom asked me. "Im good mom and i slept fine. Why are you up so early brat are you going to go fishing with us?" I asked Sophia while tugging on her hair. She turned to glare at me and said "As if, you know i hate to fish its gross. No, Glen and i are going back home. Im going to get Aurora and bring her here. I dont want her home alone when shes hurt. I know that the guys said they'd check in on here but id rather she be here. I know that if something happened and she needed help she wouldnt call them. I just now got her to call me when something happens." "Im glade that shes
Aurora I must've had a weird look on my face because pappaw asked me "Whats wrong sweetheart, are you ok?" "Huh? What? Oh yea im fine, sorry. The last of my hummingbirds finally spoke to me just now. Thats three down and three to go" i said. "Its ok sweet girl we understand that this is all a lot to take in. You've went from being alone and thinking that you didnt have any family at all. To learning that not only do you have family but supernatural creatures exist as well and you and your family are supernatural. Just remember your not alone anymore and we will all be here for you and help you anyways that we can" Mammaw said. "I agree with Willow we will all be there for you. What is your hummingbirds names dear?" Amelia asked me. "From top to bottom their names are Trixie, Sprinkles and Electra. I still have the basilisk to meet and then my dragon and my phoenix. Ill be able to start talking to all of them before my birthday but i wont be able to shift shape or have use
