One - The Beginning

I’m still not sure after all these years why I always go back to the same spot. But never the less….in times of heart ache, sorrow, anger, or my most deepest sadness I always end up in the same spot. Let me start from my beginning my name is Aurora Brock, and I am going to be 19 soon. I was abandoned as a baby at a very small orphanage, in the small town of River Stop. I was raised in the orphanage, and I guess in this small area not a whole lot of people want to adopt an orphan girl. So, I grew up with the ladies that ran the orphanage, Frances, the old, short and very plump mean and strict head master I guess we can call her, and Mary, who was soft, sweet, caring, and was the only person in my life that ever loved me! Mary took care of me, ever since the first night as a small new baby I was dropped on the door step of the orphanage. Spending her money to make sure I always had clothes that fit, and a little extra here and the

Two - Unlikely Saviour

I woke up this morning to start the day, only 1weeks left and I turn 19….I get up and wash my face, brush my teeth  and head into the kitchen for breakfast and to wait for Frances or the strap as we called her to come in and get down to today’s task.  “Aurora, you turn for the bathrooms, and then the gardens outside need tending if we’re going to get a full range of veggies and fruits this year” “Yes,mame!” Was my reply. I was ecstatic  by today’s tasks, the bathrooms were a breeze because we all knew we had to clean them, so everyone took good care in making sure we all worked together to keep them clean for whomevers job it was to clean them.  But what made my heart sing today was I would be able to go outside, into the garden my second favourite place aside from my secret waterfall. I spent hours outside once I was done given the bathrooms there once over.  Weeding, a

Three - A Choice

I get up quickly, instantly on my guard. Ready to try and fight off whoever this was. Brian, seems to be the first person to my mind, always hurting me for his own sick games and pleasure. Sometime I fought him off, most times I got hurt trying! That when I see the bright glowing black eyes, staring at me intently, my dogs eyes?“What the hell”? I mumbled out loud, still on full guard of this glorious stranger in front of me.  Tall, so incredibly tall, this man was. Not to muscular, but toned. Oh Soo beautiful he was, with pouty lips, and a chiseled jaw line. The ever so manly 5 o’clock shadow. This man looked like a god! He had to be. I blinked quickly over and over again, not saying a word, or even breathing I think.  Wondering in this moment, why I see some of myself in his face!  He has the same dirty blonde ash hair as I do, yet his is shiner and healthier then my own.  His nose, brows. He has so many simila

Four - Afraid

This town was beautiful, and looked as if it had been here for hundreds of years, and yet everything looked brand new,  the buildings and small cabins, so beautiful, I had to pinch myself to ensure I wasent dreaming. The people all scurrying around, doing their daily tasks, all seemed so happy and care free. They all smile and nod at us as we walked by.  I see a school, and a bunch of small stores that seemed to have all sorts of different items, from clothes, to what I thought even looked like a cauldron In The front window. A cauldron? I thought to myself….and laugh out loud. Witches don’t exist perhaps it’s a Halloween store. I think to myself. Faulk grabbing my hand ever so gently as trying to not startle me, grins as he pulls me towards the iron gateway.  Pressing a small button, he stands up straight and looks into a camera positioned just right to see both of us waiting. He nods, the grin never faultering once as he does

Five - A Brother?

“Aurora sweety, are you alright? It’s been hours, I thought you’d be ready by now?”  I hear Lindy call in her sweet carefree voice through the bathroom door. “ Oh, I am Soo sorry my queen, I must have fallen asleep while in the tub. I will get out straight away,” I called back, as I spit out the water I seem to have inhaled in my startled state. I quickly jump out of the tub allowing it to drain. Wrappping a big thick white towel around my body, getting to the door as fast as my feet will allow. I opened the door to see this gracious Queen waiting for me by the bed smiling. “Aurora you don’t need to Hasen, you are in no trouble. I only wanted to ensure you were ok.” Lindy spoke sweetly to me. She walks into the door I hadn’t opened yet, for me to see the light turn on automatically when the door is opened showing me a vast array of Lavasg gowns, and shoes of all sorts

Six - Truth

We both walk into the throne room. King Leonids sitting in his throne grining from ear to ear. Queen Lindy with the biggest grin plastered on her face I have ever seen.  Faulk stops and I follow his lead but he turns his eyes toward the King and Queen. Encouraging me to go forward I get to the end of the beautiful rug  just before them. As stupid as it seems to me at the time, I bow as deeply as I can to them both. I have only been here for mere hours and yet they have been the nicest people aside from Mary and Faulk I have ever met. “ My darling girl you do not ever need to bow before us” King Leonids booms. I jump up at the sound of his voice, startled. Which makes him giggle. “Aurora, you have been brought to us by our son Faulk. He states he believes your his sister by blood and wants you to become a part of our family. I know you have many questions and they will all be answerd in due time my love. But for now we must fill y

Seven - Visitors

I can see the light beyond my eyes lids and have no idea where I am. I do hear someone close to me breathing. I slowly open my left eye, looking for the person breathing in the hopes they don’t notice I am awake.  Faulk is sitting in a chair close to my bed in my new room, the room filled with the sunlight cascading in through the windows. I take a deep breath and slowly bring myself up in the bed…“Oh my god your awake, are you ok? You passed out and fell to the floor in the throne room yesterday. I carried you here and have been keeping an eye on you. I’m so glad your ok I was Soo worried” Faulk leans in giving me a hug that I don’t return, still confused as to what happened. “What happened, I have been out since yesturday? I have a bump on my head, what is It from”?  I flinch as I rub the bump on the back of my head. “You blacked out and fell. I tried to catch you, but was

Eight - Too Much

A formal dinner is all I can think as I mindlessly go back to my room to figure out what goes on at a formal dinner. Then I pause and wonder, whom or should I now say what kind of creatures and exactly is going to be at this dinner. My breath hitches and my mind races…I go to sit in one of the beautifully carved pieces of furniture examining it as I sit to try and relax.  Running my fingers along the carvings, a werewolf, a dragon, a fairy, a mermaid and there’s a knock at the door…. Faulk walks in, a giddy up in his step. In his arm is the most beautiful black dress I have ever seen. He lays it on the bed, and looks at me….instant concern in his eyes “Aurora don’t worry, everything tonight will be fine! Leonids and Lindy have invited some of there most personal and trusted friends to meet you. So  you can see for yourself the different creatures and mythic’s there are still out there still. Assuming that IS what you want to do. You are gonna stay around an

Nine - Mirror, Mirror

I feel happy. Elated almost at this new found life before me! I unlike everyone really will get to choose my new life! Which I feel is exciting! I defiently didn’t get to choose the beginning of my life, but with an amazing turn of events I can choose how i live it. I saunter to the bathroom Faulks having to go and get himself ready for the dinner party. I thought for sure in my passed out state I had missed it, but I was only out for mere hours!  Walking into this bathroom was like it’s own world. The smells that hit you when you walk in. New smells now I didn’t notice before, lilies, jasmine, lavender, honey suckle. Hitting every note possible. I turn the water on as hot as I could get it this time, this bathroom my calm sanctuary, I grab a new vial of jasmine oil and pour it in. Taking off my dress  and examine myself in the mirror for the first time in years.  Looking in the mirror wasn’t something I did often as I usually was black and blu

Ten - Formal Dinner

I walk into the banquet room with Faulk holding my arm, as I lean into him taking in all the people around the huge table in the middle of the room. Long curtains hang everywhere from the high ceilings. Deep purples with gold and teal. It’s absolutely amazing, it almost looks as if the ceiling was sparkling like the stars in the sky past all the rich drapery. The table elaborately set, looking at the cutlery and plate stacks I nearly fell over. I vaguely remember reading an article in an old magazine, saying in a dinner party you always use the utensils from the outside in….or was it from the inside out….I sigh! This is not gonna go well, I fidget. “Just relax Aurora, everything will be fine! Smile you need to do that more” Faulk says patting my arm as we get to our places beside each other at the table. Standing in front of our seat at the table, he whispers to me, “We can’t sit until the king and quee
