"Stop denying your feelings, stop trying to cancel out the truth, do what you need to do and what is right to you, you don't have to live in the walls built in the head. You have supplies, add color to the black and white world in your mind, it's not safe for you, you need to be free, free yourself and do what is right for you, do what you feel will be right for you and forget the small city built in your mind"
Do people necessarily have to confuse me? Why did Gabriella add to my confusion? I walked through the halls and like every other time I got dragged into a classroom by those two again.
~me. You guys have to stop doing that
~E. The day you decide to listen to us we will
~me. What is it that you want to talk me about that you can't talk about while we're here?
~E. It's not safe, people could hear us
~me. Then forget talking to me
I said and turned to leave.
"Stop trying to cancel out the truth"
What truth is it that I'm cancelling out? The only truth here is that I need to be in the library studying and I wanna be away from these two, I need my strength to do a couple things today.
~E. Kyen, you know what's good for you so stop fighting it, you have the truth burried in your mind but instead of digging it up your burying more and more
I then turned back to him.
~me. What am I supposed to do?
~E. You have questions that need answers to
~me. And how do you two have those answers
~E. Cause we know who you are
~me. Who am I?
~E. Meet us behind the school by midnight and we'll answer that question
~me. Why would I do that?
He looked away from me and that's when I saw it, the snowflake mark under his jaw on his neck and the line that connects it to the bigger snowflake on his right chest but I couldn't see the bigger snowflake cause his school uniform covered it.
"Silver blonde hair....
Everett's silver blonde hair...
Icy blue eyes...
Everett's icy blue eyes...
Eyes whiter than snow...
When Everett had almost frozen me to an ice statue his eyes were whiter than snow...
And the snowflake mark...
Was Everett the boy in my dreams?
But, he was a child...
Telling me to come to him...
Does that mean they are actually helping me and I can actually trust them? But I can't go back on mom's words, she would be unhappy."
~E. Once it's midnight meet us behind the school
~me. I...I...I can't
~A. Why can't you?!
~me. I...I just can't, I'm sorry
I turned to leave but then I stopped.
~me. I'm not the one your looking for, I'm sorry
~A. Of course you are Aura, you are the one we're looking for, your Princess Aura of Afnahish and...my sister
"Sister!"
Then I turned back to them.
~me. Woah, woah, woah, I am not your sister, my only sisters are Cecilia and Gabriella and just about three months ago you two were all over Cecilia I don't know how I suddenly became your sister. Alright so what's Emory, my long lost husband?
I said crossing my arms over my chest.
~A. Well sort of, you guys are like, made for each other
I looked at her both confused and shocked then shook my head.
~me. I'm completely done with you two
I said and walked out of the room.
"Come to me...
Why? Why am I going to you? Give me one reason why I should go to you...
Come to me...
That's not a reason, whatever it is that's in my head leave! Now!"
I got to the library, got some books and went to look for a good seat and buried my head in books. I couldn't get Everett out of my head, I kept seeing that mark on his neck and the one on the neck of the child I saw in my dreams. Could that dream have something to do with my reality? And why did he tell me to come to him? And... Gabriella, her words what did she mean, I should stop cancelling out the truth, walls built in my mind, I don't understand, what am I supposed to do?
The bell rung and I assumed it was closing time. I got home feeling like I had run a 100 meter race, I got up to my room, changed and dropped myself on the bed and fell asleep.
*I stared into the still waters of the lake, watching the shimmering waters and the wind blow into it, it was peaceful and comforting.
Come to me...
Come to me...
Come to me...
I stared deeper into the water an image emerged, those icy blue eyes stared into my eyes. He looked away from me and when he turned back I stared into eyes whiter than snow and the snowflake mark began to glow. He closed his eyes and they returned to normal, so did the mark.
Come to me Aura...
Come to me...
You're in danger...
It's not safe...
Come to me...
I stared into his eyes and slowly I began to nod and a smile lit up his face. He reached out his hand for me to take and I stretched out for it, I stretched a bit more but then his image began to fade away...
~me. No, no, no don't- wait*
~me. No, no, wait please
I shot my eyes open and looked around the room, I checked the time and it was almost midnight.
"Was I really going to see meet them at the back of the school? How am I supposed to leave the house to do that? Mom would be upset if she found out I was sneaking out to go see two people who claimed to know who and what I was. I can't go, it would upset mom". I laid my head back on my pillow but I found it hard falling asleep, I turned and turned but I couldn't just fall asleep so I pushed myself up in a sitting position and looked around my room. If I really wasn't a human what was I? And Acura and Everett, when they first showed up at school their names were Aitana and Emory, why did their names suddenly become Acura and Everett? Kian and his crew, what was their deal? Why did they have such a dangerous aura around them? And Princess Aura, why did they want to kill her...why did they want to kill...me?
I watched the clock hit midnight and I let out a sigh. "They would be waiting for me right now, thinking I would show up". I stayed up for a long while then I saw a shadow from under my door and someone quietly opened my door, I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep. The person walked closer to me and I felt the person loom over me.
~mom. You won't leave me huh Hailey?
"Mom?"
~mom. You're never gonna leave me right? You love me don't you? You'll stay with me forever won't you? You'll never go anywhere with strangers right? You'll listen to your mom and you'll never go anywhere with anyone but me?
"Why was she sounding like this? Did she know about Acura and Everett? Maybe she knows what's been going on, I don't want to leave mom cause she would be unhappy but now I feel like I actually don't even belong here. But what do I do about mom?"
~mom. Hailey I love you and you love me right? And we'll grow up together, just the two of us, we only need our love for each other.
She heard her sigh, then she left. I opened my eyes and remained laying the way I was. "Why did mom come in here and say all those things? Ohhhh good gahd why am I so confused? Why does everyone have to confuse me so much?!"
I closed my eyes and thought about everything going on in my life and slowly I fell asleep again.
