Aurora's Pov
"I-I-I'm not really good at comforting people so erm... I actually don't know what to say" I stammered scratching the back of my neck that really wasn't itching, a bad habit of mine. I do that when I'm nervous or when I don't know what to say, it has actually gotten me in a lot of trouble with my personal maid according to her it's unladylike.
"It's ok you don't have to say anything or try to comfort me, I just want to know what's bothering you" she said offering me a little smile.
"Eva?" I called staring at her.
"Yh"
"I'm going to make sure you don't get married to that prince no matter what, I'm going to make sure your dreams come true, I promise". I said to her with confidence.
"You don't have to Aurora, I didn't tell you so you could find solutions to my problems. I only told you because I needed someone to talk to and someone to tell what has been bothering me and there is no solution to my problems".
"I believe every problem has a solution and as a friend I just can't sit back and watch your life get ruined so I promise I'll help and there's nothing you can do about it, you trusted me by telling me your problems so the least I can do is help" I replied.
"You really are determined to help, aren't you?" She sighed. "Well then I can't stop you but if at any point you feel there is no solution then don't feel bad because I already know that there is no solution".
"Yh and about what has been bothering me...." I hesitated but chose to continue. "My situation is similar to yours, as a dragon, witch hybrid, I'm supposed to be able to control my powers from both side and be very powerful. But that's not the case, I can't shift to a dragon without wishing to die instead, it's just like a death sentence and I've only shifted twice and it was even worse the second time, and so since then I refused to shift making my family assume I can't, but I think it's better that way".
"I can't also control my powers, and I can't cast spells and I'm supposed to be a witch, and I heard we would be having a sorcery test tomorrow" I said sighing softly.
"I don't know what to do, I have been learning how to perfect my powers since I arrived at this academy, I tried my very best, I even had Sabrina tutor me but that went bad, I'm so confused, it was working, I don't know what went wrong, I'm literally useless right now, I'm just like a human, i can't shift, I can't cast spells, I can't create portions properly, I can't even conjure a fireball or anything". I complained.
"I can't light a candle. I'm just useless, I am only able to cast two spells and those are useless protection spells, like I don't even know why they're stuck in my head, I feel like someone planted it in my head so I can protect myself, but against what? I just don't understand and I can't remember anything from when I was ten, like that part of my memory has been erased but I know that's not true since I'm the only witch in our kingdom. One of the spell is to hurl someone across the room by just mumbling the words while the other is to create a shield, and the shield isn't even that strong it can be broken by a five year old witch. I guess I'll always be a disgrace to my Dad, he will always be ashamed of me" I said in a defeated tone because I can't anymore, I tried my best but nothing is working, so I'm just going to give up.
"Don't give up yet" she began, it's just like she read my mind. "You're very powerful, I can feel the power radiating off you, it's dark but it's powerful very powerful" she says "you just haven't reached your full potentials. So cheer up, it's not the end of the world, and what if you failed the sorcery test, it's just one test and you'll try harder next time" And she was right, I won't die if I fail one test. I feel much better after talking to her, I feel relieved, I'm still worried about the test but not that much because she's right if i fail the test it's not the end of the world, I will just have to work harder to reach my full potentials and to show my Dad I'm not a disgrace. But why does she keep saying dark energy.
"Thanks Eva, I'm really grateful and you're right I am feeling much better, you're the best" I scooted closer to her before hugging her.
"Yh I know" she smiled.
"But what do you mean by you can feel dark energy radiating off me? You said same thing earlier and I'm really confuse"
"Actually, I can sense people's......"
"I thought you said you were going to bed" glared Lilith walking in cutting Eva off.
"Yh but Eva decided to keep me company so I decided to stay awake" I said to her.
"Well if you needed someone to keep you company you could have asked me" she frowned.
"Well, you did say you were hungry and I didn't want you to go to bed without eating else I won't be able to sleep with you complaining about how hungry you are". I teased.
"Well you could have still asked"
"Yh sure, I'll ask next time so I won't be able to sleep, happy?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Yes" she smiled "so what were you two discussing?" she asked sitting in between Eva and I.
"Just about the test I have tomorrow" I replied.
"Oh about that?"Lilith questioned.
"Yep" I replied popping the p.
"So what are you going to do about the test?"she looked at me worriedly.
"Nothing, it's just one test after all" I shrugged making her look at me in disbelief.
"I should get going now, Hydra would be getting worried by now" Eva stood up getting ready to leave.
"Actually Hydra is still in the dinning Hall with that wolf boy, so she has no idea you're not in the room" Lilith shrugged walking into the bathroom.
"Oh, then I guess I should stay here for a little while longer if you guys don't mind" Eva asked staring at me and the retreating figure of lilith.
"Of course not" I smiled.
"I guess you could stay for a little while longer" said Lilith before closing the door.
"Why don't we play a game" I asked Eva. We played different games till midnight before Hydra finally came in search of Eva. It was around 12 o'clock that we heard a knock on our door.
"Hydra's at the door" Lilith glared at Eva and I after some minutes and we still didn't show any signs of standing up. We were both lying on the floor staring at the ceiling asking random questions.
"So?" I mumbled feeling sleepy already.
"So?" She stared in disbelief.
"Yh. so?" I repeated.
With gritted teeth she replied "So get your stupid ass up and open the door after all you were the one who locked it".
"No" I replied trying to rile her up. I like it when she gets angry,she looks cute. "And I only locked it because you asked me to"
"Excuse me? You were the one saying continuously that you weren't sure she was going to come and you were going to sleep soon and that you didn't want to sleep without the door being locked, so I told you to lock the door so you WOULD SHUT UP". She yelled glaring at me and if looks could kill then I would've been long dead. And the reason I kept complaining about the door not being locked is to prevent drunk students from entering the room thinking it's theirs it always ends up with Lilith and those students trying to slit each other throats and I'm tired of holding Lilith back. It has happened before.
"I'm so tiredddd, I can't stand up" I said partly true because I'm already falling asleep and I'm certain if I were to stand up I'll fall flat to the ground. Before she could say anything or kill me Eva immediately stood up and walked to the door saying goodbye to Lilith and I before leaving. Now who's going to lock the door cause I'm not standing up. And with that thought I fell asleep.
The next morning as usual Lilith and I got ready in time and was heading down towards the dining Hall for breakfast. Walking into the hall I noticed the hall was looking quite chaotic today. Some people were walking around with piles of book, some of the dining tables were occupied with spell books and they were being really loud. Some groups were reading the books on the dining table while others were eating and chatting amongst themselves. Some students were casting spells and other magical stuff.
"What's going on" Lilith asked looking around the hall.
"Sorcery test" I gave a short reply, not really in a good mood anymore seeing how everyone was getting prepared for the test.
"So? This is a dining hall not a library". She said.
"Whatever" I replied walking away looking downwards, I failed to notice the three girls that were walking towards me and hence I bumbed into the one in the middle hard. Lifting my head a little I saw her fuming.
"I'm sor........." I wasn't even able to complete my sentence before a loud sound echoed around the hall making everyone in the hall turn towards us as i found myself on the floor with a stinging cheek. I slowly stood up and lowered my head because I was so embarrassed as the hall was so quiet and all attention was on me and the girl who just hit me for accidentally bumping into her.
"How dare you? Are you stupid or something" she yelled glaring at me. Keeping my head bowed, I attempted to walk away, Key word attempt. I was immediately pulled back with so much force by my arm that I was scared that my hand was going to fall off and before I knew it I found myself on the floor again with my hands on my cheek. She slapped me again. "Great!! Just great. Just how much more will she humiliate me before she will let me go. I'm so pathetic, now I know why father is ashamed of me. I'm also ashamed of myself. I'm so weak, I'm not even able to retaliate even after being slapped twice for something that happened by accident". I thought to myself before picking myself up.
"How dare you try to walk away from me, when I'm asking you a question, HUH, HOW DARE YOU" She screamed in a very high pitched voice that makes me want to stab my ears with anything I can find, so I don't have to hear that voice anymore. I refused to answer her or show any signs that she was talking to me so she clutched my hair in her hands and yanked it hard making me yelp in pain. "How pathetic am i". I asked myself.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you" she said menacingly. But I still kept my head bowed making her yank my hair back with even more force than before making me look at her in the eyes. With the way she clutched my hair I couldn't even look around. I could only stare at her and from what I could see, she has black long wavy hair. Baby Blue eyes and she looks extremely beautiful a striking contrast from her personality.
"Good, now I want you to go on your knees and apologize for bumping into me". She smirked cruelly making me see red. "APOLOGIZE, APOLOGIZE SHE SAYS, WASN'T THAT WHAT I WANTED TO DO BEFORE SHE SLAPPED ME". I raged in my mind knowing fully well I won't be able to voice my thoughts because of how terrified I am right now. Suddenly I felt her let go of my hair before a loud sickening crack was heard in the hall. Looking for the source of the sound I found a very angry looking Lilith glaring at the black haired girl who few seconds ago had my hair in her hands with her eyes that are now pitch black and with a cruel smile etched on her face and a terrified look on the face of the black haired girl who is now on the floor with her arms twisted in an awkward position.
"Hi Mia" Lilith said darkly with her eyes fluctuating between black and red.
