AURORA
What was I thinking? Why did I approach him??? Damn ittttt.
I don't know, but each time I do look into his eyes and each time I come this close to him, I always feel that same feeling. That feeling of that stranger that....
No.... I'm just worrying myself over nothing. He isn't the one. Let's say it was him; then what the hell would he be doing back in Silvermoon pack, and why would he even save me?
No comment.
"Stay here; I will be right back" Julian said before excusing himself.
I found a bench sitting close to the wall, and I walked over and sat on it, patiently waiting for him to come around.
"Who's that girl?"
"What's she doing here?"
"She sure looks beautiful and loaded...."
"Shut up, Lisa; don't compliment her!!!"
I heard voices all around me, and when I looked at their faces, they all had this look of contempt, and confusion, and the one I have seen all too well is hatred.
"Hey, who are you?" A bulky looking girl stood in front of me, and in one guess I knew she was a female warrior.
"I'm Aurora by name" I introduced.
"Aurora huh?" She stepped closer and dragged me up with my hair.
"Ahh...."
"Do you realize this is the warriors' quarter, and anyone can't just step in here!!!" She yelled.
I gulped down nothing before slowly pulling her hands away from my hair.
"I'm not quite aware about that; I'm only here with Julian, and he asked me to wait here" I answered calmly.
"Did you just call Prince Julian by his name???"
"What an outrageous character!!! We can't let her get away with that.... Deal with her Bonnie!!"
"Yes Bonnie, teach this girl some manners!!!"
I sighed out in pity. Wherever I go, there will never be people who would just try to get along with me. People who would look at me and say, "Let's be friends.
Just people who want to oppress me, humiliate me, and then hate on me for no reason because I don't quite see why these girls are so damn angry at me.
"Fine I will, brace yourself" I watched the girl lift her hand up and aim at punching me.
I immediately jumped back and squatted on the floor, avoiding her punches.
"What the???"
She rushed towards me again, and I slid forward, clearing her legs off the floor, and she landed on the floor with a loud thud.
"Did she just defeat Bonnie without breaking a sweat?"
"Who's she really??"
"What's going on here??" Julian appeared, and the girls immediately coordinated themselves.
"Good day, Prince Julian!" They chorused.
"Bonnie? Why are you on the floor?" Julian asked.
"My prince, this ingrate did this to me. I was only trying to teach her some lessons, and she....ahh!"
Julian slowly glanced at me, then back at Bonnie, then back at me again.
"You mean her?" He pointed at me with confusion written all over his face.
"Yes my prince, this girl addressed you by your name, which is an insult. Permit me to deal with her!!"
"There isn't a need for that. That girl over there is Aurora, Luna Lois's daughter, so she's Princess Aurora, and she demands respect from you all"
They all went silent at Julian's words, with their eyes darting forth and back at me.
"We're so sorry, Princess Aurora!!" They said in unison.
"I'm sorry" I said, helping Bonnie off the floor.
"No, I'm the one who's sorry, my Princess!"
"Let's go" Julian said, walking ahead, and I immediately followed.
"Tell me! What are you really?" He asked curiously.
"Me?? Believe me, I'm not that strong. She's way stronger, and I know if we did a blow-to-blow fight, my face would be battered. So that's why I avoided her punch and decided to take her feet off the floor; otherwise, she would have beaten me so badly" A girl like her is built in power, I'm really no match for her.
"So you can fight?" He went ahead to ask.
"Not that much? I was only trained for a little while, you know"
My period of training at that time wasn't that long, and that's why I can only do a little technique of defense.
"Then why don't you fight with me?" My body immediately paralyzed at his words.
Is he out of his mind???
"Fight with you??"
"Yes a one-on-one combat fight"
He must be crazy. I avoided that girl's punches, and now he wants me to have a combat fight with him? no way!!!.
I immediately took off on my heels and started running as fast as I could, not caring where I was running to.
"Hey!! Come back here, Aurora!! Don't even think running away will stop you from fighting with me!!!"
"Give me a break, Julian; you certainly know I'm no match for you, so go find someone else...."
"Ahh!!!"
"Where do you think you were running to?" Julian asked, pushing my back against the wall hard.
"You...." How the hell did he catch up with me so fast?
"Now I'm curious, Aurora. Why are you here? From the look of things, it feels like you ran away from your pack, and why is that??" He questioned, and I gulped down nothing.
"Wha....what...what are you talking about??" I stammered.
I couldn't tell why he was suddenly asking me such questions.
"Tell me, Aurora, what's your reason for coming here??" He pushed further, his hands pressing hard on my arm with his face so close to me.
"I...I..."
"Prince Julian, the elders are gathered in the courtroom, and we were told to bring you in for some interrogations," someone immediately voiced loudly behind us, and Julian didn't move away from me; instead, he turned his head sideways.
"Interrogations for what??" He asked, his mood immediately turning sour.
What do they mean by interrogations? Is something going on in the pack?
"I do not know my prince, but Prince Kieran is already there...." The man answered.
Kieran is there? Something is definitely going on.
"Lead the princess back to the castle; I will head there immediately" Julian pulled away from me and immediately started heading out.
"My princess, please follow me!"
I glanced at Julian before turning away. Whatever is going on sure doesn't look good.
