(Aurora's POV)
Just as Aurora left the mansion, she heard the sounds of gunshots firing.
Following the sounds of gunshots she heard, she arrived at the area where the cars were parked.
She saw a 'security guard' taking cover behind a car.
She swiftly aimed her gun and shot at the head of the 'security guard'.
Finding no one else, Aurora looked around and saw a car riddled with bullets.
She ran towards the car to check inside.
Just as she arrived and looked inside to see if her brother and mother were inside or not?
Aurora froze up, watching the scene before her eyes.
Her brother was trembling non-stop looking at their mother who was bleeding from all over.
There was blood, lots of it.
The eyes of her mother were shut closed.
She can't tell whether her mother was unconscious or she!!??
Her father Aiden arrived just a few moments later, just like Aurora he was shocked and was frozen watching Tessiana inside.
Her father called out to her mother.
"Tessiana!!" Aiden quickly went inside and checked up on her.
Moments after Aiden has done checking up on Tessiana.
"She's alive but unconscious, we need to get her to the hospital right now!!!" Aiden said out loud.
Aurora looked at Aaron who was unresponsive, he was staring at Tessiana while holding on to himself.
Seeing her younger twin brother like this, she called out to Aaron.
"Aaron!"
But Aaron was not on his right mind, he didn't respond just stared at Tessiana in a daze.
"Dad get inside and drive we need to get out of here and take her to the hospital." She urged her father to quickly take her mother to a hospital.
Aiden hurriedly nodded and got inside and sat on the driver seat.
The car was already running.
Aurora got inside the car and moved Aaron to the corner of the seat.
They quickly left for the nearest hospital.
(A/N: Ah! if you guys are wondering, Aaron and Tessiana were at the back of the car.)
~~~
Arriving at the hospital.
Aurora left the car and ran inside the hospital building shouting 'Help!'.
"My mother was shot!!! Multiple gunshot wound on the back, one on the shoulder and one at the abdomen. She has lost too much blood, please HELP!!!" She shouted as loud as she could.
Some nurses and doctors quickly came and followed Aurora to the car.
~~~~
Aurora ran behind the doctors and nurses who are taking her mother to the Operation Room.
Aiden was in front of her and Aaron beside her.
The doctors and nurses went inside the Operation Room taking her mother away with them.
A nurse stopped them when they were trying to get inside and told them that they can't go inside, the nurse also said them to wait in the waiting area while the doctors will try their best to save the patient.
The nurse after finished speaking, went inside leaving Aurora, Aiden and Aaron on the hall.
Aiden cursed and punched on the wall.
Aaron spoke up for the first time since they left the Adams mansion.
He was looking directly at Aurora's eyes.
"She will be okay, right? Nothing will happen to her, right?" Aaron shaking all over trembling said with a hoarse voice.
Aurora pulled Aaron into a tight hug.
He was asking Aurora, will their mother be alright, will she survive? Over and over.
Aarons's voice started to get louder and he started wailing holding on to Aurora.
Aurora's hold on Aaron got tighter, tears started to trickle down her cheeks.
"She will be fine, Aaron, she will be fine." Aurora said to Aaron, also to herself.
~~~
Four hours later,
Aurora saw her father, talking to someone on his phone.
He was visibly angry from his expression, talking to the person on the phone.
After a minute, he finished speaking and ended the call.
She saw his father gritting his teeth clenching his jaw, in anger.
Shaking his head he looked over to Aurora.
He stood in front of her and said to her.
"Aurora, I need to go." Aiden said to Aurora.
She was irritated and was a bit angry at her father for leaving them in the hospital alone. Not staying with her and Aaron when they needed him, their father the most.
But lives were at stakes, he needs to go back to the Adams and help the authorities to save the rest of the people at the party.
"Just go, leave!" Aurora said raising her voice.
She closed her eyes, cause she will definitely beat the crap out of him if she looks at him for a bit more longer.
She heard the footsteps of her father going farther and farther away until it faded into silence.
She looked at her brother, Aaron who was sleeping on a bed beside her.
She sat on a nearby bed clutching her hair, holding on her head cursing out loud.
"Everything will be alright, it will be fine." Aurora mumbled trying to console herself.
Today by far is the darkest and s*ittiest day of this second life of hers.
~~~
Three weeks later, at one of the Blood villas in the countryside of France.
Aurora was sitting on a chair beside a bed reading a book aloud.
A beautiful woman on her mid-30s was on the bed.
The woman had an oxygen mask on her face and was hooked up with many kinds of medical appliances and equipment.
It has been 3 weeks since the horrible event at the Adams Christmas party.
Tessiana survived the surgeries but went into a coma, since then.
Losing too much blood resulted in her having a stroke.
She hasn't been able to wake up since then, fearing for the safety of the children and Tessiana. Aiden after a week of Tessiana being hospitalized transferred her into this villa in France.
Aiden made sure Tessiana had everything for her recovery in here in this villa.
The doctors said she will wake up in 3-4 weeks and it is possible that she may never wake up but the Bloods never lost hope and brought her here and waiting for her to wake up.
"And thats about it. Mum, how'd you like the book? Interesting, no? I really like the part when they were finally reunited with their family and it was bittersweet knowing that she has lost her memories, you know. but still was a happy ending, they were finally together happily ever and after." Aurora said shrugging her shoulders, talking about the story she read to the sleeping Tessiana.
She got up from her chair, stretched her body a bit cause she has been sitting for hours.
She sighed, looking at the sleeping beauty on the bed.
She went and leaned on to Tessiana's face giving a kiss on her forehead, Aurora said.
"Please, wake up soon mum! We all are missing you dearly."
She left the room to check on Aaron at the room they have been sharing since arriving here in this villa.
Aurora arriving in front of their room opened the door and took a peek inside.
Seeing her brother working on the computer, she sighed.
"Whatcha doin???" Aurora said in a cute voice.
Aaron turned around and looked at Aurora.
Yawning, he said.
"Nothing much, just reviewing everything so far."
Aurora said 'lies' in her mind hearing Aaron's reply.
She thought to herself, 'This idiot must've been gathering information on Death Parade'.
Aurora sighing once more releasing a bit of her violent murderous intent giving a smirk to Aaron she told him to go to sleep.
but before Aaron could say anything back to his scary older twin?
Suddenly, a maid barged into the room and was panting for air trying to catch her breath.
Both Aaron and Aurora was startled by the sudden intrusion of the maid in their room.
"Young-young master Aaron, Young mistress Auro-Aurora!!! Madam-ma-madam woke up!!!" She said with difficulty trying to catch her breath. She ran straight to their room from Tessiana's room when she and her fellow maid went in to clean the room.
*thud*
A sound of something falling on to the floor could be heard.
Aurora turned around to see the commotion caused by her brother, only too see Aaron ran past her and leave the room.
She quickly followed her brother back to where she came from just now.
Coming back to the room Tessiana was in.
She saw Aaron hugging onto Tessiana.
He was crying his soul out holding their mother.
Tears started to form in Aurora's eyes watching the scene, she quickly walked towards them and separated Aaron from Tessiana.
"Idiot, she just woke up from her coma Aaron!!! Dont stress her too much, will you?" Aurora said looking at Aaron.
She turned back to face her mother, only to see an apologetic face.
"I'm really sorry, my sweethearts for making you all worry about me."
And that was it, Aurora couldn't stop herself from crying out loud like Aaron.
she held back her emotions since that dreadful day, now seeing her mother like this, made all the emotional barrier that she raised up around herself crumble and shatter to pieces.
"You are so mean, mum!! You made me go through hell these past few weeks, so you have to pay for all our suffering through your love mum. You mean, mean meanie!!!"
Aurora hugged her mother, Tessiana.
Just like Aaron a few moments ago, she was bawling her eyes out holding onto Tessiana.
