Chapter 15 Into the dark

*Aurora Pov*

Walking out of the huge glass door from where Daisuke walked out in search of him. Well, he was the one just to give me rules and regulations. Now he is the one breaking it off well he can I guess as that rules were for me first of all.

Looking around to see I'm in a garden, fountains and statues not so far away from me. Taking a deep breath to smell the sweet fragrance of flowers and wet grass. A smile spread across my face as I started to look around the garden.

Where there are many different types of flowers, smiling walking across the garden. As I hum with the soft wind blowing by, remembering the fact of the story of how Aurora loved to sing. When she used to be in the garden alone for the walk at night. Across the lakeside especially her secret hideout.

'Wait a minute' the lakeside it should be somewhere across the woods across the field. Lifting my head up as I look across in search of a forest type.

It was written most beautiful lake when the moon shines up about with no clouds the stars look like diamonds there so does the lake when you look at the reflection into it.

Smiling to see in far away in distance a big filed. The big trees in back, maybe it will take 10 to 15 minutes to walk there. Let's see the place where Zoe spends most of the time.

As I don't know anyone here than about the memories of Aurora I don't know why I can't recall many things. As it, all of it was just a dream and blur. Even the dream I saw when I was in room fire spreading wasn't there in the book. Like not fully when all the state's attention was on Zoe and that Duke.

Looking up towards the sky which seems more beautiful and brighter as it uses to be in my world. Looking down at my feet as I'm wearing the heels. Removing it getting in my bare feet in the grass. The feeling of the soft wet grass under my feet. Really just like dreams, smiling, as I bite my lips in response run towards the forwards towards the forest in the big field.

The sweet fragrance of wet grass reaches my nose, nature always has been my favourite. Dancing running across the field if someone saw me this way now they would think I have gone insane.

Stopping in front of the forest which is way darker now. The light of the moon falling in between the gaps of trees. Looking back just to see Im way farther from the palace now. If I die here no one will come to know I guess as all are just busy in ball party. More like a gossip party really. No DJ no lights blinking, no top awesome drinks at all really.

Looking back towards the forest as it wasn't so far I guess. Let's just get ready for some adventure in the fantasy world.

"Aurora!" making me jump out of my skin ad I turn back from where the voice came from.

Just to see Zoe looking towards me with a shock expression. Keeping my hand over my chest to steady my beating heart. Smiling at to cover my shocked expression.

Waiving my hand towards her, as she started to make her way towards me. "What are you doing here?"

Opening my mouth to say just to close it again as I sign in response. "Let's go back, for now, ok it's getting cold out here." nodding my head in response as I bite my lips.

As we started to walk back towards the super boring ball. "Aurora?" looking back towards Zoe who was looking at me. "You are you really engaged to Daisuke?" she asked.

Wait, am I really engaged to that brat or not. As he littetly said that I can't deny the fact about it then he will become a lier but then can I lie to Zoe at the same time?

Eventually, I nodded my head in response smiling as I look down grass brushing against my feet.

"That's good to hear finally my small sister is getting married, with someone she loves" making me go cringe over the word love.

With that jerk who doesn't even let me go to drop my boom shells down. Well, he loves you not me, dam feels like mistress here taking her lover. But she is already married to her lover. Kind of feeling bad for that brat, he did seem so mad while Zoe was coming down.

"Aurora you know let's go to the temple tomorrow for the blessing" Zoe hand warp around my wrist making me stop and look towards her. "You know as you are back I'm just I don't want any more harm to come towards you," she said bitting my lips as I nodded my head in response looking towards her. Then I knew Zoe warps her arms around me hugging me tight

"Really, Im so happy that you are alive Zoe, after what happened in war just to bring me back to the one I love." hugging her back as I smile in response.

Pulling away from her to see her cheeks wet from tears. Wiping them away from her face as I smile in response.

"You know Mother has just arrived sh will be so happy to see you. Let's go and meet her now"

Making my smile fade away for a split second. Remembering for being boyish useless reason Aurora mother hates her a lot. Once again nodding my head in response as Zoe pulled me back towards the door.

Entering in as I blink my eyes a few times t adjust the light. As Zoe kept dragging me further and further being careful not to bump into anyone.

"Mother" Zoe hand leaves mine the warm as we reached. Looking down towards my wrist missing the warmness of her hand as now feeling an emptiness within me.

Looking up towards the lady dresses into a golden dress. A golden crown upon her head golden necklace around her neck. Wrinkles around her eyes and on cheeks a bit. Her lips painted red making her beauty to stand out more.

The none other than Queen Isabella, mother of Zoe and Aurora. To see she was talking with a guy maybe in his late 50s or so. As she smiles politely towards the man excusing herself from him.

Looking towards Zoe as she smiles in response gentle look into her eyes. Making me smile with her too, she is truly a beautiful mother the look into her eyes are just filled with love. Looking towards Zoe who bows in response. Smiling at Zoe as she pulls her into a tight hug.

"My daughter you have grown so much in these years and already made me a grand mother. Mother is so proud of you, as always being a perfect fine lady." pulling away from her, as she kisses her forehead making Zoe turn red. As I can hear the whispers behind me admiring them.

"Mother Aurora is here, she she didn't die, mother"

Queen Isabella eyes fall upon me, I mean my mothers right. So let's call her mother I'm really missing my mother too. Is she doing good without me? How is she now? Which soon turns into a glare, my eyes become wide as I bow in response. Really Im forgetting this stupid thing as its really hard to remember.

"What is this!?" looking back up to see towards mother giving me a disgusting look. Rising myself up, looking towards her giving her a confused look. "This is the way how you now Princess Aurora," she said hissing at me.

I guess I did it in a wrong way really you are screwing everything dude.

Bitting my lips in response, as I shake my head no. I can feel my heart beating against my chest. "Where are your sandals did you walk around bare feet all the way"

I gasp remembering the sandals what I have left it back in the garden. Really as if the luck is patting my back pushing me forward towards the bad luck.

"As always you have to act this way Aurora, like a disgusting child" Looking back towards mother feeling as if someone kicked on my chest. "Always you have to be an embarrassment to our family, acting like men don't you know the dignity of being a woman"

My hands clunge into fist, glaring towards her. My eyes becoming blur "now she goes glaring at me" she chuckles.

"Mother you should stop Aurora she just arrived yesterday an-"

"Zoe you are such a naive child, is she manipulating you as she did to your father. Don't you know sh-"

"Mother please all are hearing" Zoe whisper as now I notice the ballroom has turned silent. All the attention is drawn towards us.

Mother or let's turn it back to Queen Isabella. So it turns out to be true, she really hates Aurora being a tomboy. Who cares as I chuckle in respond covering my mouth.

Looking back towards her as I smirk in response. Maybe these emotions I must be feeling of Aurora who truly loves her mother. But Im going to teach her a lesson soon

"What are you laughing at young lady tell me. What are you laughing at?" Rising her voice as she hisses at me?

Smirking in response as I rise my left bow. Taking a deep breath towards her rising my hand pointed my finger at her making her gaps in response.

"What did you say, young lady!!?"

"Mother please stop Aurora can't reply she lost her voice!!"

I can hear the gasps in the back ground as the number started. Making Queen Isabella chuckled in response this time.

"At first you were embarrassment now you have turned into disappointment for the family," she said.

I can feel as if my heart was stabbed multiple times. Signing in response as I roll my eyes, you don't even know what Aurora has done to the family who are even you to judge.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me" looking back towards her to see rising her hand up in the air before I could know what's happening I flinch and close my eyes.
