Nine - Mirror, Mirror
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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 blue from the beatings Brian would give me on the regular. Because he did it often when his friend were around, everyone just thought I was very clumsy. Or at least that was always their stories. Mary knew that something was off and wrong with Brian’s tales of me getting hurt, but could never seem to pry the truth outta me. Even when I wanted to tell her. All I could think was, what could she do? She wouldn’t send him away and couldn’t kick him out. More chores, sure but really what will that do? Just piss him off more.
I examined my face, I don’t think I’m that ugly? A nickname I had gotten use to from Brian. Just him trying to get to me. I have long wavy ashy blonde hair down to my waist, hazel eyes, a fairly nice complexion. A full hand-full of tits, a skinny waist and alot of ass. I’m not bad looking I guess…sigh.
I climb into the steaming hot tub, relaxing against the marble. Soaking up the jasmine oils into my skin and calm washes over me in a way I’ve never felt before. So relaxed I feel as I lay still in the tub the water slowly turns cold. I let the water out of the tub and wrap myself tight in a fluffy white towel, that no matter how many times I use it is always clean and exactly where I got it from. I like it here.
I walk out of the bathroom and straight to the bed. Inspecting the black dress Faulk had brought me. It was beautiful. A strapless gown with small crystals rainbow in colour yellow to orange to red to purple to blue. It was gorgeous. I drop my towel to get myself into this master piece. I then head to the bathroom to see what I could do to match the rest of me to this masterpiece of a dress. That fit me like a glove!
Looking at the vast spread on counter. All its potions, vials, makeup, soaps and creams. I find a couple things I recall seeing in old magazines we had at the little sunny orphanage. Shuttering at the thought of that place. I wind up putting some oils through my hair, just a little to try and flatten my waves a bit and calm the frizz! I have never applied makeup before, so I did what I could without seriously injuring myself. A light blush to my cheeks, mascara to my long lashes to frame my boring hazel eyes. And a quick swipe of the only lipstick I could find, which just happens to be red.
I give myself a once over in the mirror, and grin a little at what I have done. I have never looked like this before. I almost feel a shred of confidence in me, before I remember I’m getting ready to have a dinner party with my new werewolf brother, the King and Queen of the Creature’s which I never knew existed, about to choose a new life and I guess essentially new creature for myself, while also remembering that I will be for the first time, meeting all new beings I never knew about untill days ago.I exhale! It will all be fine, just choosing a new life, no big deal!

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
The Orphan and the Mythics Eleven - Idris
I am woken later by a knock at my door thinking its awfully late, it must not be for me. As I roll over to hear the knock again this time a little louder then before. It makes my heart instantly race as I jump up from the noise intrusion. I make my way to the door to open it, when I see him standing in front of me. Mr black suit, and on my god up close he was immaculate. Tall but not too tall, muscular but not to a point where you could see his “six pack”. Birght fire hot orange eyes unlike anything I have ever seen, and as I stare into them, I feel like you can see the fire burning in them. Swirling fire all around. He was a god in human form. Period. Longer hair on top shorter on the sides, dark brown, almost red. Styled so it like like he did it but he didn’t put any effort into it. The slight 5 o’clock shadow on his cheeks with a soft yet srtong jaw line. I nearly fainted at his sight up close. Pull it together Aurora you pervert what the hell is the matter with you! I y

I awoke the next morning, rubbing my hands where Idris was last night. The bed was cold and empty. Shooting up, looking around but he was gone! Did I dream him? But I could still smell his lingering scent on me, it was incredible. I get up and make my way into the bathroom, filling the tub with water and oils, soaps and bubbles, and sadly shimmy out of the most beautiful black dress I would probably never have a reason to wear again. Gently dropping it to the floor. Instantly sad I couldn’t just replay last night over and over again for the rest of my life. Idris my gorgeous god like specimen. I let my body soak up the oils again, rubbing them all over myself reaching in deeply. Sad as I know I am washing off his man scent. All my thoughts now are on Idris. Our latenight meeting. The kiss, I can’t get my mind off it, the sensations it brought. Him being a Phoenix. Lord of all creation. My only thought, or care now. My heart beats hard and loud, just

We entered the large throne room, to see that it has been set up for our luncheon. The king and queen sitting regally in their thrones, over seeing every last detail. They smile at us as we enter walking straight to them. I smile and do a little crusty at them both. Instantly going through a million questions in my head. But all I feel I need to say is “I met Idris last night” to which I receive two very large smiles. “I know why you both have come, and let me clear the air right now. Not a soul alive in this area knows of Idris except for myself, Lindy, as well as you two now. He is the last of his kind for all we know and has been in hiding for a long long time, trying to heal earth undoing the damages caused by humans and creatures alike as they take everything they need to exists. Yes, Idris is a Phoenix, who contacted me surprisingly. Saying he felt drawn to my castle for an unknow reason, at the same time asking why I had so many speci

“We have all gathered here, as our beloved new daughter is going to make her choice known. She has chosen to keep the secret. So I would like everyone full attention as I pass the floor to Aurora.” He winks at me as he smiles wide, and my heart truly burst with feeling of love from this man I barely know, fatherly love…he called me his daughter, I wipe a tear I couldn’t help let go. I stand as swiftly as I can, so to not let everyone staring at me notice that I am shaking from nerve. “Hello” I cough awkwardly trying to clear my throat, while coming up with a speech I didn’t realize I should have prepared. Everything happens for a reason, everything happens for a reason I keep repeating in my head.Then all I can picture is Idris. Breath in and go… “ Hello, good afternoon everyone. My name is Aurora, the last couple days have been a world wind for me. I was save by the brother I didn’t know I had from my horrible life, he brou

Once inside, I quickly rip off my dress and toss it close to the door. Reaching for those amazing quartz knobs on the tub turning the hot on as hot as I could get it, without melting my skin off of course……as I slip in, I grab the jasmine oil bottle, and pour it into the water while grabbing a handful of rose petals and tossing them in as well. Sinking in up to my neck, only my head out of water, inhaling, feeling, trying to rid my nose of the lingering smell of vomit. Peace and calm is all I can feel, but it is very short lived because as soon as I closed my eyes, I snap them open, to Idris rushing into the bathroom so fast the door smashed into the wall behind it leaving a dent. His eyes look as if there literally on fire, ready to burn something down. “Aurora” he looks around the room too fast, it takes him a second to realize I am in the tub. “Why didn't you answer me I called from your door, over and over, no response, I rush in here terrifie

I am woken the next morning, to shifting in my bed. Confused I open my eyes forgetting what happened, and the small shreds I have learned about Idris and his Phoenix. More so, knowing that he feels he same way for me as I feel towards him. I shut my eyes again. Smiling, reliving the kiss we shared. The sparks, the energy. I never wanted it to end. I feel an arm around me, and a kiss to my forehead. “Good morning sweetheart. How did you sleep?” He says happily. “Amazing. Best sleep I have ever had beside the other night when you were with me.” I smile. “Get up, and get ready. I’m gonna go back to my room and grab some clothes. We must go into town today, and do some shopping.” He says excitedly. As he gets up and heads toward the door. “I’ll be right back” he calls as he closes the door. I instantly jump up, running into the bathroom. A shopping day with Idris. I jump in the tub quickly, no time for relaxing th
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 17 - Lunch?
Idris and I share a tiny round table at the cafe. Neither of us could say a thing. I was so caught up in my own head I hadn’t even realised he was staring at me looking as if he had things to stay. Though it seemed he wasent sure if he should pull me out of my own head.A tiny tear escaped my eye as i think about Rose and the gown. What was to come. Mostly Idris. Was he going to leave? I didnt want him to ever leave my side again. How did Rose know i would need such a gown, how did she seem to make it to be a seemingly perfect fit to me. It was all a lot to take in. “Aurora, i know what your thinking right now. My only explaination is this, everything in this world we know happens for a reason. Call it fate call it destiny whatever it is, it is all ment to be. Just as i truly believe you and i are suppose to be right here right now. The best company i have ever had in my long long life.” Idris says all this too quickly as though this is not really what he h

Chapter 20 - Confused There was a knock at the door, and Faulk entered. “Hey sis, I feel like your spending a lot of time with Idris and ignoring me. Are you ok? He is treating you well right?” He says as he sits at the edge of the bed. “Faulk is there….Something wrong with me? I dont get it. One second i think he likes me the next i am a stranger in my own body confused at everything that is said and happens between us.” I say to him earnestly as a tear goes down my cheek. “You have to remember Aurora, Idris has been around for soo many centuries always searching for his mate while maintaining the balance of life. I am shocked there is still a Phoenix around, no one has seen one in many many years. I was told that he felt you When you arrived. Almost as if he was drawn here by your presence.” Faulk says, as he lays down to get comfy. “I feel a pull to him i cant explain, i always want to be in his presence. I am heart broken he is gone.” I shudder knowing that what i have said i

We awoke the next morning to knocking at the door. Idris getting out of bed and answering it to find that we had been sent trays of food by Leonids. Idris thanked the guard and brought our meal straight onto the bed. At the same time both of our stomachs began to make noises as we stared at the trays. “I can’t believe we’ve slept Soo long” I get out groggily “Aurora, will you tell me about yourself, I know ive asked you before but you didn’t really tell me much now did you?” Idris asked me curiously, head tilted to the side fidgeting with some berries in his hand. “What would you like to know exactly?” I asked him cautiously. Confused as to his question. No one had ever asked me that before. I think maybe because no one cared. The orphanage had lots of comings and goings but the kids there were all from bad situations. No one liked to talk about their own shit. Mine would only consist of the orphanage and the horrible hand I was dealt. I remember nothing of my life before the orpha

I look into Leonids’s warm father like eyes. All I can do is smile. I want a new fucking life damn it. I want to be as strong as Idris believes I am. Maybe I am suppose to be. I can feel his heat instantly radiating off his body, as my mind made the conscience decisions not be afraid in that moment. I was going to grab onto this new life with both hands as hard as I could and see where I come out the other side. Anything was better then what I have endured and what could have been my fate.“I am humbled to be able to chose a new life. I have never in my life felt as much love as I do from you and my new family. I am scared and excited what this will bring. My 19th birthday. The birthday I will be given a new life. The best present i could have ever hoped for.” I say everything really quickly. It kind of comes out jumbled, and odd, but I ment every word. I was just trying to hold myself from getting sick. King Leonids smiles and gives Lindy’s hand a squeeze.
