Aurora woke up the next day feeling giddy with happiness, The Levare's candlelight was in a day! A wave of happiness filled her entire body as she got up from the bed, The smell of pancakes filled the entire air
*Ma.Coco probably made Pancakes for breakfast, you see Pancakes is my favorite, I could eat it all day long* Cripsy snuggled closer to me and I chuckled softly, Petting her furr "I need to have my bath Crips, Ma.Coco prepared pancakes for breakfast" I say and stood up, Stripping off my clothes as I stepped into the bathroom but Cripsy wouldn't stop following me around "Cripsy would you stop following me around, I need to have ave my bath" I say and closed the door to the bathroom "Aurora, won't you get off that bed and come eat breakfast!" I heard Ma.Coco yell and I fasten my bath "Coming Ma.Coco" I yelled back and finished up with my bath, and went out of the bathroom.
I went towards my closet and picked out a blue dress, using my buttermilk cream for my skin, I've always loved the smell of it, "Aurora!" I heard Ma.Coco yell again "Coming Coco" I yelled back and carried Cripsy in my arms, She also needs to eat, I was careful to walk properly and not run like a lady
"Good morning Ma.Coco" I bent slightly and kissed her cheeks while she patted my hair "Good morning Sweetie" She says and glanced at Cripsy whose tail was wagging delightfully "And a good morning to you too Cripsy" She says and Cripsy barked, I chuckled and got her a bowl to pour out her food, She wouldn't even let me be for a moment. I set her bowl down and she immediately gets to business
"She couldn't even wait a while before munching it up" Ma. Coco says and I chuckle before taking a seat on the dinning chair
"Aurora, I would be going out to town today, make sure you are on your best behavior alright" She says and i nod "Yes Ma.Coco" I say
I was tired of staying in the Cactus all day long, I wish i could see another human apart from Coco of course, In the stories that Ma.Coco got me I have seen that the actual world has castles and flying horses and also transporters, I would like to see all of that too..
"Ma.Coco, do you think.." I attempted to speak but she cut me off "I can't Aurora, You aren't allowed to leave the Cactus and you know that! Your Ma and Pa wouldn't allow it"
"My Ma and Pa! My Ma and Pa that I have never seen? My Ma and Pa that do not care about me? I do not care about My Ma and Pa! I want to leave the Cactus, I want to go to the outside world, I want to see the castles, I want to.."
"That's enough Aurora Martin, You will not be leaving the Cactus anytime soon until your Ma and Pa approves of it! I don't care how you feel, you aren't leaving the Cactus" She yells angrily at me, I could feel water at the brink of my eyes
"Then I do not want your pancakes" I yelled back at her and pushed the table away, Stomping away into my room and wiping my tears angrily
* I am tired of staying in the Cactus, I want to go out and be free, How can i stay here on my Ma and Pa's orders! I do not even know my Ma and Pa, so why does Ma.Coco follow their orders so much? I do not want to be here anymore
"Rory! Aurora please open the door" I heard her plead and I turned sideways * I want to leave the Cactus* I wiped my tears angrily as I ignored Ma.Coco calling out my name, I could feel her getting tired "Aurora, I can't go against your Ma and Pa's orders, I am only a mere.." She stops and I waited for her to complete her sentence "I can't go against your Ma and Pa, Please understand Aurora" She says and I stood up to open the door "Why won't my Ma and Pa come here to see me? Don't i deserve them coming to see me? I want to speak to them and tell them that i want to leave the Cactus" I say and she pulls me to hug her
"Sssh my child, you will soon be able to leave the Cactus, very soon" She says and i detangled myself from her!
"I'm really sorry for yelling Ma.Coco" I say and she waves it off
"Come on, you should have breakfast " She says and i nod, we walked out of my room and went towards the kitchen, Cripsy was sitting down silently that I almost didn't even believe it was her!
I sat down to eat while Ma.Coco got her bag to leave the Cactus, "I would be back soon Rory, take care of yourself " She says and kissed my forehead, I watched as she walked away and left the inside of the Cactus
I finished eating the pancakes and washed my dishes, Taking Cripsy along with me we went to my room together!
I sat on my bed and ready to daydream but Cripsy wasn't having it, She wanted to go out to the Cactus surroundings but I wasn't having it, I wanted to stay in bed and daydream about being in Cinderella's castle
"Cripsy! I want to stay in bed!" I whined but she kept barking, I groaned and got off the bed ready to walk out towards the Cactus surroundings
"Are you happy now" I say and saw her tail wagging, I chuckled and walked out to it's surroundings
We start to play but she went off suddenly "Cripsy, do not go there" I yelled but she wouldn't listen "Cripsy!!" I yelled and went ahead to get her but she kept noosing her head in the large bed of flowers "Crip!" I stopped when I saw something that gave me the shock of my life!
My eyes wanted to pop out, A person like me was laying down beside the flower bed, Covered in mud from the head to toe, I slowly pointed a finger and touched the stranger slightly and flinched, Cripsy started to bark and i motioned at her to keep quiet, I slowly touched the person again but no movement from the person, I quizzed my head forward wondering why the person wouldn't moveCripsy looked at me weirdly and I shrugged "H-Hello?" I say but no movement came again, I looked around the Cactus wondering how someone could have gotten inside the Cactus, I proceeded to touch the face and i heard a low grunt that made me fall on my bottom, Cripsy start to bark again and I motioned at her to keep quiet "H-Hello" I say again and the person's eyes flew open, My eyes widen on seeing the person look at me"I-um-are you a person?" I asked and a grunt came from the person again, I flinched as i heard that again."Are you going to keep sitting down there or wo
I went back to the room withh Cripsy wagging her tail behind me "Aurora!" Elysian called out my name and I hummed, walking closer to him as my eyes went towards his bandaged wound, He was starting to sweat really much and I quizzed my eyebrows trying to understand why he was sweating when it's a little cold "Why are you sweating so much?" I asked but he shut his eyes closed instead "Elysian!!" I called out his name but he didn't respond, I touched his forehead and flinched, He was burning up pretty bad "Elysian!!" I called out his name again but I only heard him gruntCripsy started to bark ans I hissed loudly "Shut it Crips" I say and she whimpered "Sorry Crips, I shouldn't have yelled" I say and walked out of the room *Uhh Ma Coco usually gets a bowl of water and towel whenever i get sick * So I rushed to the kitchen and got a bowl of water and clean towel.Cripsy was no longer following me around and I was grateful for that, Oh goodness I do hope Elysian is ok
Ma. Coco had now retired to her room and me, Well I am in my room currently looking at the man who was laying on my bed, I had no idea where I was going to sleep exactly. He had completely taken all the space on the bed, He was still unconscious but his high temperature had gone down now. I stood up and walked towards my closet to get a sleeping bag to sleep in.I saw him stir lightly and I paused, expecting him to wake up but Instead he continued to sleep. I sighed and laid the sleeping bag on the floor, I have never had to use this today but here I am using it because of a strangerI glanced over at Cripsy and saw that she was asleep already, I chuckled softly and laid on the sleeping bag, ready for sleep to take me away and it did.The next morning I felt something lick my face and I shot my eyes open immediately to see Cripsy slurring all over my face, I giggled slightly and sat up, petting her furr, oblivious of the person in the room with m
I already had my bath although I had to ask him to excuse me from the room, I could see his abdomen was getting better from the cut, I wore a yellow flair gown and let my hair down, I still wanted to feel better today even though Ma.Coco and Elysian are leaving me in the Cactus!I sighed and looked at the mirror again, I should be happy today, regardless of whatever happens today! I smiled and walked out of the room to see Elysian looking around the Inns of the Cactus. "You have a lovely place here" I heard his deep voice say and I smile, "Thank you!" I tell him and looked at him well, He was a very huge man with different drawings on his body, I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at the drawings on his arm and neck "What are these?" I asked curiously and he looks at me before pointing to the drawings "These? You don't know what these are?" He asked me and I nod my head "They are called tatoos, you seriously don't know what these are?" He asked me again and I nod "I wo
Second person's POVTime was one thing we didn't have, Time! That one thing we didn't have.The day had gotten less sunny which means the time of the candlelight was fast approaching, Aurora had placed the candles where they belonged all around the Cactus while Elysian was asleep, She brought out the lanterns from the store where Ma. Coco had kept them after last year candle light. She started to hum her favorite song as she gently lit the matchstick unto the candles and lanterns, Her smile grew wider once she saw she was almost done with everythingEverywhere In the Inns of the Cactus was lit up with the candles she had placed around, She glanced over at Cripsy and grinned "Would you look at that Crips? Everywhere is looks beautiful " She says and sighs as she took another look at what she has done, She saw Elysian move slightly and she raised her eyebrows, She could hear him muttering somethings but what was it that he was muttering? "Elysian!" She call
Aurora say down, there was a strange uneasiness in her chest, she couldn't phantom it but she knew something was wrong, The wind doesn't just show itself on the Levares Candle light, something had gone wrong, But what was it?Elysian watched as Aurora sat down, looking lost. He didn't know what was wrong but he knew for a fact that wind wasn't supposed to show itself on the candlelight's night, Aurora's face was stricken with fear, Elysian stood up and walked closer to her, his boots making little but no sound on the ground "Aurora!" He called out her name and she snapped her head towards him "A-are you leaving now?" She had asked but It came out more like a whisper, Elysian sighed because he didn't know if he could leave, surely he could leave and just say goodbye to her, but something drawn him towards her, He couldn't leave knowing she would be alone here so he shook his head"Not yet, Fiore" He says and she looks at him with her blue eyes and smiled at himA
Aurora could sense a strange air around her, Elysian had stayed a while with her although she knew he would be leaving soon "When are you leaving?" She asked him and his amber eyes bore into hers "I-uh will be leaving now" He says and she felt her stomach dropped, She nodded slowly and stood up to look at him properly. Her eyes slowly trailed his body till she met his eyes, Her eyes held sadness but she gave him a tight lipped smile "I guess It's goodbye now" She says and he nods at her "It's goodbye"They both stood opposite each other in an awkward pace "Goodbye Aurora!" He says and smiled at her, She watched as he turned to leave without muttering another word. He left the Cactus and didn't even turn to look at her, Cripsy started to bark and Aurora turned to look at her "I know crips, he's gone but we can still wait for Ma.Coco" She says and walks towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but her mind wasn't there anymore. She keot wondering what could have kept Ma.Coco f
Elysian waited while Aurora packed a few clothes with her, He knew it was dangerous to be seen with Aurora out but he couldn't help it, She can't be on her own in a strange world, Can she? He watched as she swiftly dumped a few clothes into a bag, He knew just how much She wanted to leave the Cactus and also now that her Coco is missing, It's a greater avenue for her to leave here.Aurora glanced at Elysian for a fee times while she packed a few of her clothes, She knew he was thinking about everything she said but can you blame her? Ma.Coco was suppoed to have been here for a while now but she has gotten no news whatsoever from Ma.Coco. She couldn't possibly stay here in the Cactus without trying anything, She could feel it deep within her that something was definitely wrong but there was no wah she could know what was happening"I'm done!" She says and Elysian lifted his eyes to meet hers, the bag was in her hands "Arr you sure about this, Aurora!" He asked her
