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 grunt
Cripsy 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
Aurora couldn’t believe it, she was finally in the town, her eyes wanted to bulge out as she looked around, There were a lot of people like her walking everywhere, The transportations she always saw in her books were here too, She couldn’t believe it, She is actually here in the Town!Elysian watched as she admired the town awestruck, they had to start moving but he didn’t have it in him to crush her now, What would happen if he lets her enjoy acouple of minutes, nothing right!
The next morning, Aurora woke up thinking she was in the cactus, She rubbed her eyes oblivious of where she was and when she did open her eyes, it took some while to realize she was in the cabin, She already left the Cactus with Elysian and Cripsy, She glanced over at where the dog was but it wasn’t there anymore so she figured she would be with Elysian outside seeing as even the large man wasn’t in the roomShe sat up and prayed silently that she gets lead as to who her Ma and Pa are and also leads for Ma.Coco, She gently go
Aurora waited for the bullet to hit her, only that it didn’t, She heard him groan as another gunshot was fired, She opened her eyes slowly to see them on the ground with blood oozing out of their body, She saw Mitch and a lady come forward and never in her life has she been this happy to see someone.Her Ma and Pa laid down with bullet wounds in their body, The woman ran forward towards Elysian and starts to cry on seeing the condition that he was in.
Aurora rushed to her side with tears streaming down her face "Ma.Coco!” She called out her name and held her face. Elysian had started to untie her hands while Aurora untied her feet, The tears wouldn’t stop flowing down her cheeks as she gently removed the tape from her mouth, The woman’ looked at Aurora and smiled at her, Aurora hugged her still crying as she placed kisses all over her face "I was so scared that I wouldn’t see you again, Ma! I missed you so much!” Aurora says still crying and the woman hugs her back too tightly“I missed you too Rory, I missed you too!" She says
Elysian’s heart was beating loudly in his chest as he took a look at Aurora, he wasn’t wrong when he said she was a goddess, She was a moon goddess! Her skin sparked as the moon shone on her, her blue eyes had never been so clear, her hair was curled that it bounced so ever lightly, her lips was painted in a dazzling red lipstick that it made his breath hitch, She was beautiful."You look amazing, Fiore!” He says and she smiled shyly at him “You look good too!" She says and gasps, Elysian furrows his eyebrow as he watched her rush to her bedstead and brought out something that she quickly handed over to him
Aurora started to wonder which kind of danger she was in? Her mind was running all over the place that she didn’t know what else to do. They day seemed to go by fas and the clothe maker had already come to fit some clothes for her, Apparently the party would be hosted for tomorrow too which made it more perfect for her! Elysian would be able to come and they would be able to talk without worrying about anything or anyone.It was in the night now and Aurora understood that her Ma and Pa had gone out of the mansion. She was quick to ask the maid discreetly if she knew what Malcota was but the maid unfortunately had no idea what it was.
Its been a week since Aurora last saw Elysian and it would be an understatement if she said she didn’t miss him, She more than missed him. She has been staying in her Ma and Pa’s home and they’ve done everything they could to make her feel comfortable and safe but would it be considered 'hypocrisy' If she said she still didn’t feel safe.Aurora had been waiting expectantly, just maybe she could see the man cloaked in black but it seemed impossible, He only showed up when he wanted to. She wanted to find her Coco as soon as possible but it didn’t seem like she was going to get that luck anytime soon.
Elysian didn’t know how long he sat there holding Aurora in his arms, It felt as though she was meant to be in his arms! He felt complete with her in his arms.Aurora snuggled closer to Elysian and closed her eyes, she knew they had been staying there for a while now! She felt fulfilled and complete just as he held her. She could hear his heart beat as it thumped loudly, she could only focus on them being like this. Maybe it was wrong of her to feel like this towards him especially with all that was happening in her life now."A
GAurora looked around the Cactus remembering all that had happened, She used to be so happy in here with Ma.Coco, If she had knew the outside world was so unwelcoming she wouldn’t have bugged Ma.Coco about leaving the Cactus! But now that she was out she knew exactly why Elysian called the outside world vile and evil.She wiped her tears and unlocked the door to Ma.Coco’s room, Even though she had been here before it still looked like as though she was around and staying in the Cactus! Sheburst out into tears again, her life has been a lie!It still seemed like a dream
Elysian was torn, He couldn’t say anything but he couldn’t let Aurora leave and regret about why she didn’t listen to their explanation. He knew what it was like to not parents and she deserved to know what prompted them to leave her in the Cactus."Aurora!" He catches her hand she turns to look at him, Tears rolling down from her cheeks freely and she wiped it, Her nose and eyes were pink and crying so much that it made his heart ache, “Elysian! Did you listen to what they’re saying-" She sniffed and wiped her tears "How is it possible that Ma.Coco did that?”“Aurora ple
Aurora and Elysian’s eyes widen as soon as they heard that name 'Dallarosa!’ The man cloaked in black had told her they would get their answers here and Ma.Coco’s diary was filled with Dallarosa.Aurora strained her neck to look past the crowd of people currently cheering for the Dallarosa’s but she couldn’t see anyone, They all had gone back to the festivities but not Elysian and Aurora.It was as though a minute ago a man wasn’t just there and introducing some Dallarosa, Everywhere was bubbly that
