Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 11

Aurora

I woke up in a room I didn't know. It was wooden and done with a female touch. My head hurt, feeling through my hair where I smacked my head on a stone, a bump was there. I could smell Tyr, so I didn't panic. Getting up, I walked out of the room following the old trail of Tyr's smell, chocolate, and marshmallow.

Two people sat in the living room. They both looked familiar to Tyr. Stopping in place, I'm not sure what to do or say, especially the man who looked to have fricking angel wings.

What have I got myself into?

The lady walked towards me, "Its ok, Tyr has just stepped out-" Before she could finish, I ran to the door he was here I needed to speak to him. Stepping outside I see Tyr turn into a dragon, he was red and black. I shouted his name, but he just took off. He didn't listen and flew away, even me calling him.

The two people in the house came over and guided me away, back into the house. The one with wings flew off to go and help Tyr. The lady introduced herself and told me the one who flew off was Gabriel, her name, Embla, Tyr's grandparents. Well, I guess we are meeting the family first. I wonder what they know.

Embla showed me to a shower and gave me some clothes to borrow. When I came out of the shower, Gabriel had my suitcase, and it was covered in mud.

Embla asked to wash all my clothes as she is sure they had gotten soaked. I agreed and helped load up the washing machine.

Thankfully, I didn't own to much as I was on the run and never bothered to get things as I would have to leave them behind. My suitcase was my life. We all sat on the sofas. Embla made us all a hot chocolate. I looked at the table and saw book that was open on a page about a curse that looked like mine. The mate bond curses. This got my attention.

I asked if I could read this, and they both agreed. Pulling the book to me cup on the table I started to read. I wish I never did it made my stomach turn. This is old black magic that has been banned, and it is the worst one to have placed on you. How could my parents put this on me? I wanted to break down and cry. Is this why Tyr left me, because I would end up hating him more each day. Was he letting me go.

I spoke with Embla and Gabriel. Gabriel knows about this curse and has been banned for a very long time. The Goddess doesn't take kindly to someone interfering with the bonds she makes. No one would want the wrath of the Goddess on their heads and anyone who preforms this curse will also be cursed. They will have the Goddess after them, and it will shorten their lives. This was only used by the most powerful that would think they had a loophole for them to not be cursed.

Tyr finally came through the door. He was soaked through. I perked up seeing him until he walked off, saying he needed a shower. Not once did he look at me with a smile. He just glanced at me, saw me, sat there, and walked off.

My heart broke, and my eyes filled with tears. Looking down at the book, so no one sees the rejection I felt. I knew that look to well as I grew up with it with my parents. It didn't work on hiding my feelings.

I heard a sigh, and then Embla spoke to me. "He doesn't mean to hurt you, Aurora. Tyr is hurting inside but believes he needs to distance himself from you. As you have just read, and with Tyr, when he makes up his mind, it is hard to change."

What could I say to that. I had to accept Tyr is pulling away. This shows he isn't my mate. He was mistaken. Seeing this curse pushed him away, so I guess I am not worth courting. Maybe I feel this way as I enjoyed his and Erik's company, having a friend again.

Gabriel got up and went the same way Tyr went. When my clothes were done, we put in the dryer. Later, folding them and putting in my suitcase as it had been cleaned.

Tyr kept his distance from me that evening when he finally came back to the living room. I would have gotten more out of the wall. I guess it was a mistake coming here. I should never have listened to the lady in my dream, I was stupid to think I would get the same treatment with Tyr, he must be like this as he has a new mate. I kicked myself. All I got out of this visit is rejection, some answers yes, but more questions.

I had an early night and will leave in the morning. Tyr has proved he was just a friend and not my mate. If I was, he has now moved on. He was never looking at me or fighting for me.

I sound hypocritical, but I got my hopes up. A small part of me wants it to be true he is my mate, but I don't want to believe it. Thinking about the part I read that I would hate him and not accept his mark made me want to scream and shout. My parents really sold me out.

I got into bed and slept lightly, listening to everything around me. I will leave in the morning, and I will move towns as I have a chance. I need to start my life again. A creak in my doorway made my eyes fly open. I made out the shadow it looked like Tyr.

"Sorry Aurora, I didn't mean to wake you. I just wanted to check on you." Tyr started to turn to leave the room.

"Wait, please." Tyr stopped but kept his back to me waiting for me to speak.

No words would come out, I didn’t know where to start. Tyr sighed and walked away. I can't let him walk away. I need answers. Getting out of bed, I chased him, seeing he was leaving. I ran to the door, just catching a glimpse of Draco flying off. My world shattered. I need to leave.

I have been here before, family and friends leaving you as you will be the next queen, being told they are beneath you. I only had my parents and sister from age 12. I have been alone for a while, so I will just go back to that future.

It felt good making friends with Tyr and Erik, and now I have lost them. My life is just an endless loop, find friends lose them, find friends, lose them. Being a princess was hard enough to find friends, especially they genuine ones. Not ones for fame, they knew the royal family.

I went back to my room and got dressed, closing my suitcase I left. Not caring, it was dark, I just knew I needed to get out of here. The weather had changed again the rain had stopped. Just a light wind.

My head and heart were at war with each other. No more will I step aside and be who everyone wants me to be, I will live my life and enjoy and appreciate what I do have. Having my last cry going down the mountain, as when I reach the bottom, I will be better. No more mourning the life I once had, the mate I thought I could have had.

No more friends, no more Tyr.
