Chapter 11

"Guys, I'm going in the water before it gets too ruff, anyone wanna join?"

They all got up beside Taylor "Sorry but I'm enjoying the sun, don't really like swimming anyways"

Today was going great, with no incidents but of course that wouldn't have lasted. Just when they were saying their goodbyes, he came out of nowhere and she smashed into him but she was carrying a cupcake and now it's all on his shirt... She would have preferred if it was Corey because when she looked into his grey eyes, she could feel a pull that would suck her in but with Corey, she would have been able to handle it better, "You need to watch where you going, you cannot just sneak around all the time!"

He didn't even seem angry or embarrassed about wearing her cake on his shirt, red-colored frosting on white. "You ran into me Aurora... I see you found friends"

The way he stared at me is so familiar and so arresting that I only gulped a breath when he glanced at my friends before he walked away

"Omg, Aurora! Who was that? His freaking gorgeous!" asked Rebecca with a dazed look on her face with awe in her voice and she saw similar expressions on the others

"I actually don't know, I met him last night, he is creepy, that's what he is" she sighed and went through what happened at the party

"I'm so envious right now, you not only caught the attention of Corey but this hottie! Do you have any idea how lucky you are?" thinking about it, she couldn't make sense of it.

"I actually never thought of it until you mentioned it, I don't know why now because I don't have any friends and never had a boyfriend, I've always been a wallflower and never attracted the attention of the popular groups before" Taylor raised her hand in a shy, embarrassed way but it was so cute, Aurora just had to smile

"It could be your age, some witches or wizards get more power when they turn a certain age, is your birthday coming soon? Are you from a powerful lineage?"

She blinked in shock and fear, she has too much already, it cannot be that but as her thoughts wired, her heart was in a race to outrun her "Actually yeah... At the end of the month"

When she entered her room, she got a feeling like someone else has been in her room, but it was probably the maid, she thought until she saw a note on her dresser. She picked it up and after reading it, it felt like ice ran down her spine and curled in her stomach, freezing her lungs, making it hard to breathe. She ran to her drawer and burnt an incense stick and recited a calming spell then did the first thing that called to her, she called her aunt.

"Aurora, this is a surprise, I didn't expect a call so soon, your last call didn't make me think you missed me much"

Aurora grimaced, thinking over her last call, her aunt called when she was in a hurry "Sorry about that aunt, I was in a hurry... But that's not why I called, I got a written note to warn me away from the daemons, to leave now or the same thing that happened to my parents would happen to me" She waited breathlessly for her answer but when she got it, it was such a shock to hear the fear in her voice that it stopped her fear in its tracks

"Aurora, you need to come home, don't tell anyone your plans, just pack, I'll organize your transportation, now!" then she hung up and Aurora sat frozen on her bed, she wanted her aunt to reassure her that it was no big deal, just a prank or something but this... Now she has to wonder what secrets she was keeping and why she would take this threat seriously.

She couldn't breathe! How was she supposed to run from him if he was her destiny? If what he said was true, she was the one to shift the balance that might be the end of her race or help it flourish, but also cause an avalanche throughout the supernatural community to fight or flee. She wanted her aunt's help, her parents but no one would be there... They all left her alone and she didn't know where to go, where home was. She feels so lost inside, not knowing how to protect her feelings when it comes to him or if her feelings are what drove her down this road. She had nothing to lose but she cannot make this decision just because of her, she needs to think of the whole coven and witch community. Did her parents or aunt know this could happen? She felt like they knew but wanted or hoped it would not be her.

Aurora could not have left even if she wanted, there are rules but now, eleven hours ahead, she wished she had. She was numb. She didn't feel or see anything or it just didn't impact her. She had lost her parents so young and now... Why does this keep happening to her? Why is she the one that has to suffer over and over again? Her life is a mess and everything she thought is ruining her. She cannot just forget about everything and leave now... She will go on this adventure and avenge her family, her mother, father, and aunt. She will bring a storm on those that are responsible, the likes that's never been seen, everyone will fear her and think twice about ever taking anything from her again.

Her only problem being she never wanted to move from this spot. Her body felt so lethargic and just the thought of moving her heavy limbs made her drown. She knew that she had things to do and prepare but nothing seemed important enough for her to move her butt.
