2021-11-09 06:30:43I 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 similarities as I do. I tilt my head wondering, but also scared.
“Please don’t hurt me” I stammered out to him, unsure of the fight or fight response.
He slowly takes a step towards me, gauging for me reaction, which I gave him none….another step….
Still nothing, two more…..he’s getting closer……his piercing black glowing eyes, bore into me as he moves slowly, still not speaking, with a small smirk on his face.I can’t breath now or maybe I haven’t been this whole time, as I can feel like I need to hyperventilate or something. At least if this is my last time on earth this beautiful stranger will be my demise.
“Aurora, how I wanted to do this for so long, but I had to wait until the right time, which was suppose to be in a week. But with what I seen again today I can no longer stand idly by. I don’t give a damn about the consequence anymore” he speaks, his voice is like music to me, I can never get enough. It instantly arises something deep within me.
“Who are you” I get out slowly, scared outta my wits.
“My name is Faulk and you have known me your whole life. I have been through everything with you, but in my other form” he says this with truth and conviction as if there’s way more to it then that!
“We need to talk, the world you believe you live in, is not the real world around you. Now I fear for your safety. Please come with me, trust me I will never harm you in anyway. You can trust me” He lifts his hand for me to take it….
And I do, what do I have to lose, I have to leave the orphanage in a week no matter which way I looks at it. And what more could possible happen to me that hasent already!We walk past the waterfall, farther then I have ever been.
“I.I I “. I try so hard to speak to him, but stutter I out a bunch of times.
“Wait u til we are warm, and full. I promise you we will talk and I will tell you everything”
As we slowly walk through the dense forest, looking around I have never been this far from home, we’ll the orphanage. We walked for what seems like hours, neither of us speaking a word to each other. I was too freighted he was going to hurt me if I said something wrong.I kept going over his words in my head I have known him my whole life? I don’t understand….he turns and looks me in the eyes, grins, and grabs my hand instantly calming the turmoils I can feel growing in my gut.The moon was setting and up above a small clearing I could see the sun starting to poke up. Then I see things I could have never believed, a town...hidden. I didn’t know there was a town this close to the orphanage, but at the same time, we have walked for hours. So who knows where we now are. All I know is I only now have what I am wearing on my back, and under no circumstances can I return to the orphanage now. The consequences of my actions would get me beaten, to within an inch of my life. And boy did Frances like give out the strap, she smiled after every lash, and giggled like the sick women I knew she was when the blood started to ooze out of you. I will miss Mary so much, I truly hope I get to see her once more, and tell her I love her, and thank you for everything she has done!

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

“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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 19 - Rejected ?
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
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 18 - No going back.
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.
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
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 16- Attire
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 15 - Aftermath
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
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 14- A What?
“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
The Orphan and the Mythics Chapter 13-Unexpected guests
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
The Orphan and the Mythics Twelve - Decision
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
