Chapter one
Am the road walking back home at midnight, am so tired and all I want is to meet my best friend again. I mean water or shower. ...of course u didn't know
I guess you're wondering what job I do and how old am I ,even my name. ok sorry I really talk so much but am sixteen and I work in a club. Don't even think about my parents am an ophan. I don't care if they are dead or alive. I reach at my apartment all I need is a shower.
I undress and step into the bath tub. ohhhh.... I feel my body relax under the warm water and start to feel sleepy. I try to get up but I slip and hit my head. I try to get up but I can't my body as given up I close my eyes
‘ God I don't want to die, I know it's has been forever since I prayed but please forgive me and save me' I say in my mind.
I feel the water turning cold and am no longer in the bathtub. I feel a strong arm dragging to the top until we reach the land and there water is coming out of my mouth and nose. it fuckin hurts but I still breath.
‘Am in heaven the angels have come for me’ I think but the other person in my mind laughs at me and says,‘ Do u really think u can go to heaven after many bad things u have done on Earth, you're crazy. I laugh at my thoughts.
“Are u seriously laughing" I hear a angry male voice “ After trying to commit suicide a few minutes ago"he looks at me.
“ I didn't try to commit suicide" I say to him." I slipped and hit my head on the bathtub"
"What bathtub?" he seems confused or am confused that's when it hits me that am standing naked in front of a stranger who is in house.
" How did you get in my.... house" I couldn't complete cause this isn't my house and am next to the lake.
"Aurora, I think u should go to the rest or see the healer cause u hit you're head so much"
"Wha... what did u call me?" I ask him
"Aurora" now he looks at me concerned
"That's isn't my name am Angelica but u can call me Angel" I say to him “And please I really need some clothes can't u see am freezing here unless u like the view" I tease him.
”oooh... ok...I" I see his cheek turning red. he gives me some cloth to cover myself.
"So, can u show me the way home" I say to him.
"ok" he says and starts to lead the way"
"Wait", I say." I don't see any main road here and where are you taking me, are you k********g me? , I don't know how u got me out of my house but let me tell u th....."
I see fire coming out of his hands and it's the last thing I see before my world turns into pitch black. I wake up by the sounds of birds which is new to me cause in the city there's only car sounds and other nosy things.
“You're awake" I hear a lady sweet voice and I sit. she's in her fortys but she frickin beautiful with the red hair and blue eyes with a strange dress. I think I saw this dress somewhere...oh I remember in Merlin, Gwen's dress. “How are you feeling?” she asks
" You're beautiful" I say. she looks at me concerned and confused and then smiles.
"Theo was right u really hit you're head so badly" she touches my forehead to feel my temperature but I really need to know who's this Theo.
"Who's Theo?" I ask her wanting to know about this Theo who talks about me.
"Theo, Theodore he brought u here" She talks like am supposed to know this guy Theo but I don't care. All I want is to go home.
"I don't know Theo" And am really saying the truth. I don't know Theo, I need to tell her that I have to go. "I want to go home and get dressed for..... work" . That's what it hits me that it's already morning.
'f**k f**k f**k fuck....' I don't know how many times I have said it but am late. Ben is going to kill me, I mean no, no one is going to kill me but I need to get to work.
I jump out of bed and start looking for my phone. ' Where's my phone?' I check but I don't see it. I almost feel like crying.
"Are u looking for something?" Red hair woman asks me. ok I don't her real know so am sticking with red hair woman for now. But now am getting stressed and angry about my phone. I look at her angrily.
" I...i....am....I.... am..so.. sorry" She seems scared of something but all I want is my phone not a sorry. I snap and yell at her.
" I want my phone not sorry" Mirrors and window glasses around the room start to break and it scares me. ' my voice isn't that loud to break glasses' I ask myself.
A guy run into the room and tells me to come down....oooh wait..." you're that guy from yesterday night who kidn*pped me" I say to me. he looks at me confused.
"I didn't kidnap you, I saved you" he defends himself.
" Ok let's say u didn't, then what am I doing here if u didn't kidnap me. This isn't my house" I ask him suspiciously.
" I said I didn't kidnap u and this is your home and this is your room" his voice gets little louder and angry. "Aurora, what games you're playing stop it".
I laugh at his words what does this guy thinks, "Excuse me, do I look like am playing games. whoever you're ,Mr I know more" I scan his body with my eyes from head to toe.
" He's Theo" the red haired woman says trying to support him.
" Ohhhh....so you're the Theo guy " I say it to him mockingly so that I can annoy him and it works cause I see him fuming, only smoke isn't there.
" You don't remember me" I see that he's hurt but I don't care. " You really hit the head hard, we need to find a healer and find how to help you Aurora" Now he's scaring me with those sad eyes.
' He's cute' I think. No I burn the thought to ashes.
' I turned to the unbroken mirror but what surprises me more is that I have completely changed, not that this isn't me, it's me but in a different version of me. My hair is silver white and my skin is white as snow, not that it wasn't white but now it's more white and sparkling. omg the eyes. The green eyes . These looks make me look so delicate and so....so...innocent.
" Am not Aurora," I look at him straight in his emerald eyes. ok let me admit he has cute eyes but am not falling for them. " Am Angelica but u can call me Angel but I don't care cause I want to go home" I want passed him and I run out side
" Aurora wait" I hear him calling me but I don't turn around, I just run and open the door but what shocks me more is that this isn't my home or the city cause I don't see any cars or skyscrapers.
" Where the f**k am I" I ask myself, I look around but I only see trees and mountains. it's only green.
" Aurora, are u ok?" Theo comes, but doesn't he understand. I told him am not Aurora.....' wait...am Angel but in Aurora's body ' I laugh at my own thought. movies and novels can't be true like people getting into another realms.
oh Angel to you're getting crazy, ' So am Aurora, this beautiful stunning innocent version of me.... wow... it's getting interesting. And now I need to act like Aurora or me.
" Yes, I think am ok but just tired" I give him one of my most trending fake smile. But he looks like he doesn't believe me. " I will go take a rest Tim...?"
" Theo, am Theo" he corrects me. oh f**k f**k f**k f**k, why do I have to forget his name now.
" Ok, Theo...I think I should go now" I turn around to leave but
" Wait" he calls me, what now. oh my gosh I feel like I want to crash him. " The teacher is coming, I wanted to tell u to be ready". wait is there school here. I hope not.
" What teacher?" I ask him to prove myself wrong
"He's going to see how you're with your practice" he says but now am currently more confused.
" Practice about what?" omg am asking so many questions but I really need to know.
" You're asking so many questions but he's coming here to see how you're practicing to control your powers" he says and I laugh thinking he's joking but I stop when I see he's serious. " But I know you're doing great after seeing you're last practice" he smiles. " You know you're the chosen one who's going to save us from the Red demon dragon who kills people and....."
" Wait....wait, did u just say dragon" I ask him to curiously
" Yes" he says, at that moment fire balls start falling from the sky. " Enter inside don't come out ok" I nod and enter the house and I run to my room or Aurora's room. The red haired woman is there.
" it will be fine" she says and there the brick start falling and I get pulled away by something
's**t s**t s**t ' I really hate this world but what scares me more is that am in the hands of the beast or dragon whatever it is but today am going to be it's dessert, I know this is the end of me.
"Aurora, Aurora" I hear Theo calling me. I don't know what happens to me but I start calling him back.
" Theo.... Theo, help." I shout back, Actually I really hate Theo but he's my only hope, being with Theo is better than being eaten as dessert by this monster beast but it's too late. The monster flys away. " No...no..no..no" I see as Theo disappears from my sight.
The Dragon flys like for four hours I think since I don't have a watch but all I know we have been flying for a long time. Soon we reach a strange after another two hours I think. It puts me down but I can't run cuz my body is frozen and I can't move I try to move but I hear a voice in my head
" Whatever you're doing stop it cause you're hurting yourself." it's beastly male voice but I don't stop which causing me to fainting.
In the morning I wake up, my body hurts and I feel so stiff. I stretch. "You're awake" I hear the Beastly voice again. I turned around and see the monster, on 's**t I wasn't dreaming' I jump off the bed
" You weren't dreaming, it was all real" the voice says. 'wait, omg it's reads my mind and thought '
" Yes, but I don't read your thoughts, you're the one saying them out loud so I can't stop myself from listening" it says again and then it starts to transform into something I don't understand but my mouth forms o when I see the most handsome stunning man it's like he was made for me. 'Stop daydreaming Angel' the other voice in me shouts at me. " Did I scare u? I didn't mean to" he says. He has red hair a well built body and silver eyes . Something in me wants to go and touch his body but I don't want. He stares at me I feel like I want to break the eye contact but I can't. I feel like his eyes are tearing through my soul.
" You... are..a human? " I say to him. He walks close to me but he's naked. " Oh s**t, you can't just walk and stand in front of a girl naked" I shout to him covering my eyes
" Am done" he says and I opened my eyes and see he's fully dressed. he walks close to me but I move away
" You can't eat me am sour and am not sweet, please let me go" I give him the sad innocent eyes, praying that it walks on him.
" Stop it" he yells at me
" What?" I ask him still giving me my sad eyes.
" Stop it whatever you're doing with your eyes, just stop it" he says
" Ok, but please don't eat me" I look at him still with sad eyes.
" Am not going to eat you, just go back to bed" he commands me but am not following him. Ok plan A didn't work of acting innocent, now it's time for plan B for bad ass. Now it's time.
" Ouch....Ahh, it hurts" I start acting and seems he believes it he runs to me
"Are u ok, what's hurting" his hand touch my body and it's sending shivers to my spine, ok I admit it feels good but he's my kidnapper he kidn*pped me from my kidnapper but I have to escape.
I punch him so hard and I run but he pulls my leg and I fall, he carries me and I start kicking but he's so strong. He puts me on bed and sit on top of me, holding both my hands on top of my head. I like but it's useless.
" Angelica, calm down" he says but what shocks me more is that he knows my name my real name. it makes me happy and scared.
" Ho...how do u know my name?" I ask him." Am sure I didn't tell you" am scared but I don't want to show him.
" I just know" he says with a smirk on his face, now he's scaring me more. " Just stay calm ok, don't try to fight or scream. no one will help you or hear you" he adds. " And don't play your tricks again, it won't work" he says as he gets off the bed. But I can't just give up.
I start to scream again but he's so fast, he covers my mouth with his hands. " if you scream again am going to kiss you" I look at him shocked but then I laugh and laugh. " What's funny" I sense the tension in the atmosphere of the place, ' He's angry' the other me says. ' But why ' nobody knows.
" Am I not allowed to laugh?" I ask him curiously, giving him a serious focused face.
" Yes....no...I mean no, you can do whatever you want. He tries to explain.
" Really"
" Yes" he says
" As far as I remember, you kidn*pped me and you also tried to harass me by trying to kiss me forcefully. I hope this works that's all I pray. " If u say I can do whatever I want, then let me go." I say. " Just return me where u got me please.". I beg him but he doesn't show anything emotions.
" I told you Angelica, your tricks don't work on me. you're just wasting your time" he says and turns around to leave.
" Atleast let me know the name of my kidnapper, it's not fair that you know my name but I don't know yours" I know this will work.
" Ezekiel, that's my name but u can call me Zeke" he says
" Zeke" it really sounds good on my lips.
"it's a cute name" I say to him but he just walks away.Thats when I remember the shower.
" Wait...." I stops but doesn't turn around. " I want to have a shower if you don't mind." I know he's not in the mood but that doesn't forbid me from showering. " I haven't showered like for days so please am beg......."
" Let's go " he says and surprises me. I stand up quickly and I follow him. We walk deep in the cave. I start hearing sounds of water that's when I see it . A small waterfall and a blue lagoon. My mouth formed O.
" It's beautiful" I say as I walk to it. I touch the water, it gives me chills cause it's cold. Zeke notices
" Near the waterfall it's warm." he says. " You can go and have a shower there if here it's cold." he suggests
" No no. it's ok, I like cold water most" I tell him.
" Ok. " he says. I start to undress but when I look at him he's staring at me and makes me feel uncomfortable.
" Can you leave." I tell him. " it makes me feel uncomfortable when u stare at me like that." I add.
" No." he says. " It's dangerous here I can't leave you here alone, this place has dangerous poisonous creatures like snakes and many more." I know he says that to scare me and it works cause am scared me.
" Why did u bring me here when u know it's dangerous." I ask him.
" it's the only place here" he says. " Unless you don't want to have a shower." he adds.
" Ok...., you can stay but turn around." he doesn't say anything he just turns around. " ok I guess that's a yes." I start to undress again and enter the cold water.
