Alberta's POV" That isn't Aurora" I whispered under my breath to Julius who seemed to be fuming with anger, I could tell that he could sense some foul play just like I did and was ready to go over to the northern lights." This isn't Aurora" I heard him speak into the phone, gritting his teeth. "Who are you and where is my daughter?" He questioned, I placed a hand on my lips, a chill running down my spine. " Oops, I was thinking that there is no way you are going to find out that your daughter is missing but I think that I underestimated you for a second, King Julius, who exactly do you think you are to convert a throne that does not belong to you?"I raised a brow at what was happening, what exactly was going on? Almost at the same time, a phone rang on the table and I flipped my head at Julius before picking it up."Your majesty, you have to turn on your television right away, we do not know what exactly is happening but you need to" a panicked voice spokeWith shaky hands, I pick
Aurora's POVI grunted when I felt my hands strapped to the bed, letting out a sigh. I stared blankly, taking in the people who were seated in the room. I flicked my eyes through quickly before exhaling deeply. I needed to think of a way out of here.Would my parents be looking for me? What was happening in Arizona? " You believed in what you shouldn't have, you are so pathetic" a voice resonated in my ear. I tried to sit upright, but I couldn't, the chains gripping my hands tightened hard around it, causing a scar on it. I thought of what I had just been told and I knew what she had just said was the truth. I was stupid, stupid enough to think that the friendship between us was genuine, but I guess I wasn't cut out for it. I wasn't just cut out to have friends. I bit on my lips, blinking severally before looking away, " Did you plan all this? The day….." I gulped in, trying to find the right word to say. "The.. first day we met?" Although I didn't want to, although I knew what an
Aurora's POV "You shouldn't do this, how long has she been out now? And you keep telling me trash, how much longer is she going to stay in that way?" A voice that I knew too well asked, I tried to call out to him, but it came out in muffled sounds.I shut my eyes tightly before flicking them open. Trying as hard as I could to call his name." You have to be calm, we are trying our best, our very best but it all depends on her will to stay alive" a voice answered.He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated, he looked different from the last time I had seen him, he had emaciated, what could be wrong? Have I done that to him? " You said she needs someone to keep talking to her and she will get better, I am here, her brother is also and we have been talking to her for the past two months but now, there is nothing, she is laying still, how much later do we have to wait?" I gulped in my spittle, trying to get in what I have just heard, does it mean I have been here for over a month? That
Aurora's POV"Why?" I threw glances at Ramon and Laden who gazed at me stunned as though I had just said something I shouldn't have. "How exactly did you come up with that? Of all things, why did you come up with using yourself as bait when there are other ways?" Ramon asked, visibly pissed off.I squinted my eyes at him wondering what exactly was wrong with what I had just said. "Because that seems like the only reasonable thing to do" I answered him, shrugging my shoulders.He peeled off his hands from mine, taking a step backward. "You aren't allowed to use yourself as bait just so you can get back at him, I am not allowing you to" "Well…."I dragged on, " It is a good thing that I do not listen to you and no one else does so…"" You can't," Laden interrupted, stunning me forward. " What do you mean by that?"" Come off it ,Nana, although I am still shocked to find out that we do not have the same parents, you are still going to be the same Nana I grew up with so I cannot let you
Aurora's POV I reclined against the car as I watched Ramon drive down the busy street of Northern lights. Thinking back to our relationship, the thought that I knew absolutely nothing about him flashed through my mind. Thinking back to the day when he had said the sanitorium was his family, I had shoved it aside, not wanting to say a word about it but still." How long is it going to take?" I asked, breaking the silence, I was going to leave it to Sophia, that was the name I had been given to do her work perfectly, I was going to place my hope on her because I could see she meant a lot to Laden and doing otherwise would hurt him which I didn't want. "Soon…." The silence dragged on for minutes and I bit on my lips waiting for him to say something else. " Do you want anything?" "Nope," I answered, although I knew he was trying to make conversation, I couldn't bring myself to talk to him, not when my conscience was gnawing at me for what I had done to him last. We were both at fault a
Aurora's POVI tilted my head to the side, wondering why exactly she was gesturing at me to come with her. Sighing deeply, I placed the pillow I was holding on the bed before walking down with a flip-flop I had found by the side. I let her walk in front before she stopped in front of the kitchen, glances from all corners made me squint my eyes. What was going on? "Granny" I didn't know why the name had slipped out but it had and she had a knowing smile on her face. " That boy would never tell you anything about himself so I think I have to key you in on things that are important to him" she explained.I bit on my lips slightly before letting them go while wondering if it was actually necessary at this point. Would Ramon be happy to see me here? I wondered.Anyways, I shrugged, that isn't up to him to like anyways. I leaned against the table watching her move about the kitchen effortlessly " How long have you known him?" Hmmm, she seemed deep in thought " Since he was given birth
Sebastian's POVI flicked my eyes open, feeling a presence in the room, why was I feeling this way? What was happening? I couldn't wrap my hands around it. " Who is there?" "Hellooo…." I stretched out my hands, searching for my gun which I knew I had dropped somewhere, "Will you talk, or should I blow your head off?"My heart flipped when I saw it, a shadow rushing past me just like a gush of wind. "Father?" I whispered, standing up abruptly from the bed. "Father…." I whispered again, this time I knew that I was certain, I knew I wasn't wrong, there was no way I wouldn't know who it was because that was him, that was the same man who I had come to know as my father for years. "Sebastian……" I gasped when he smiled at me, blood gushing out of his palm. What was that? Was that blood? I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. "Why….why…. Did you kill me? How could you be so heartless? Tell me why…why did you let power take over? Tell me" his footsteps were distinct yet it caused m
Aurora's POVI stared at the ceiling deep in thought, and my stomach which kept rumbling continuously jerked me up, I shouldn't have gotten angry and walked off, and now, I was hungry, I patted my stomach, before gazing at the time, I flipped my head to the wall clock that showed it was two in the morning but still I couldn't sleep. " Arrrghhh" I screamed out angrily before sitting upright on the bed, fine I was going to get something to eat, no one was going to know anyways. What was the possibility of Granny or Ramon finding out? It was almost zero, so I guess I had to put it to use now that no one was awake. Tip-toeing toward the door, I turned the knob clockwise, making sure it doesn't make a sound before stepping out. The hallway was deserted, not showing a sign of any soul and I sighed in relief, although it was dark, the house was dimly lit and I could see everywhere clearly. Walking down the stairs, I kept staring around just to make sure no one would creep up on me and no
